Okay so here are my silly doodles for Earthspark: Shattered Glass

Musings below the cut

I love Earthspark in large part because of its narrative against black/white thinking and the idea that defining "good vs. evil" is easy. And in canon Earthspark even the worst Decepticons are portrayed as just kinda sillygoofy????? So I don't imagine the Autobots would be tooooo bad. Especially with Optronix defecting to the Decepticons because he just. Got bored with torturing and slaughtering his way across the galaxy and was like "You know what would be hilarious. What would just be really fucking funny. If I swapped sides, LMAO."

Anyway I thought about drawing a parole anklet on Optronix up there but I figured instead they would install a remote detonation device inside his spark chamber a la Suicide Squad in exchange for allowing him to keep the Matrix of Leadership in his chest. Optronix came up with the idea. He said it was his Act of Profference to Megatron and Megatron is just like "?????"

Speaking of Megatron he has deep entrenched eye bags because Optronix is his conjunx partner and because his handler is Agent Jon Schloder, who inherits his canon timeline sister's genocidal hatred of Cybertronians in this AU. Also he's busy managing all of the Decepticons and being a diplomat to Earth. He's still besties with Dot though, who in this AU is a cop because she prioritizes duty and the law and her work ahead of her family.

Also Optronix is besties with Karen Croft because Karen was really into True Crime shows as a youth and thinks him being a repentant serial killer is cool as heck, she owns all of his merchandise.

Breakdown is the teacher of the Terrans in this AU and he carries a deep sadness within him because he yearns to help his best friend Bumblebee recover from millions of years of enslavement under Optronix but Bumblebee is off being insane in the wilderness or something. Breakdown looks for him in his freetime.

The Terrans themselves are relatively unchanged, though perhaps a touch more anarchic/chaotic.

And now I'm out of time andweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the cat is attacking the keyboard so let me know if I should keep musing???

Hey there!

Can I please get a platonic gn human reader with Earthspark Soundwave who's friends with Frenzy and they like to rough house and cause trouble together?

Thanks!

✎A/N: Hi! I really liked the idea of this ask and I loved writing it, so I hope that you're doing well and I hope you're having an absolutely wonderful day.

[ Please do not repost, plagiarize, or use my writing for AI! Translating my work with proper credit is acceptable, but please ask first! ]

You both enable each other's shenanigans, so you're probably a bad influence on each other, but does that matter if you were already mischievous and morally gray? Yes, yes it does matter, and Soundwave's about to learn why in just a second, because he is the one that bails you out of whatever shenanigans that you and Frenzy get into.

And every time, the two of you are usually very grateful for his intervention. You may expect to have him chew your ear off about it, but surprisingly he doesn't actually scold either of you for messing with people so long as you do it stealthily, but if you were to get injured or harmed in the process, he'll scold you and tell you to be more careful as well as discreet as he takes care of whoever's hurting you and then treating your injuries.

You may have met Frenzy first, and perhaps that's because you caught her messing with someone and joined in, and instead of turning on you, she liked your vibe and thought you were cool so she let you join in on the fun. Eventually these shenanigans became more frequent, and Soundwave began to notice that she'd go sneak off somewhere, and then she introduced you to one another. The whole meeting would be very akin to a parent meeting their kid's friend from school, and he's probably said "so this is the Y/N you keep talking about," upon first meeting you.

Aside from causing trouble, she does hang out with you in a way that doesn't include messing with people in any sort of capacity. She'll sneak over to your home with a bucket of paint and have you help touch up on her highlights and paint her nails all the while you listen to rock music at the dead of night. If you enjoy painting your nails or dyeing your hair too, then score! She'd be stoked to return the favor, and the two of you would probably spend hours and hours together, painting the other's nails, listening to rock, talking about whatever comes to mind, or watching youtube.

But indoor hangouts aside, she'll drag you out to go bully GHOST employees, or just people in general, but she's more inclined to bully GHOST employees, even if Soundwave warns the two of you to stay away from them unless you can't help it. But when it comes to messing with normal people, she's not gonna hurt them, no, that's only saved for GHOST employees, the most she'll do is scare the shit out of them and steal a thing or two, but for the most part her shenanigans are relatively harmless.

Eventually when Soundwave is captured by GHOST, that safety net is gone, and Frenzy starts to hang around you more often, perhaps even to the point of now automatically living in your house if that's possible (and since both she and Lazerbeak stick together, then I suppose Lazerbeak's there too). You get front-row seats to the Bot Brawls that she holds with Lazerbeak in the city, and even special access to the announcer booth if you want to join in on the fun.

BDKO Earthspark headcanons

((some headcanons and ideas for a hypothetical BDKO in Earthspark. Some ideas I may use in that summary fic I've been doing.))

Breakdown left the stunticons to work with and be with Knock Out in the medical ward. Motormaster and the others are toootally cool with this! Yep! No lingering grudges at all.

During the war Megs had forbidden his forces from being "indiscreet" with each other in order to maintain discipline. Thus Breakdown and Knock Out became conjunx in secret. (Or alternatively they were junxies in everything but name and were just holding out for a chance to make things official).

Knock Out initially only wanted to recruit breakdown to get back at motormaster over some grudge. Turned out Breakdown was actually pretty good at his job, respected knock outs skills, as well as just being genuinely good company so he wound up keeping him around.

KOs and BDs "courtship" period was hilariously short. It took maybe a few months to a year at most for them to get pretty serious about being together.

Or at least their official unofficial secret courtship was that short. In reality BD had been crushing on KO for awhile and kept finding excuses to go see him. (This could have even been what caused the grudge between Motormaster and KnockOut) Though he only really got to know him after starting to work for him.

While they love each other and are a good couple KO and BD has some pretty significant secrets between them.

KO has let it be known that he was a very accomplished cosmetic surgeon back on Cybertron who was like totally rubbing elbows with all the big names and was Uber rich and hot and everyone wanted him etc etc and joined the decepticons because it was all just too boring. None of this is true.

In reality he was an illegal back alley surgeon from the lowest rung of society who never even went to medical school. He essentially self taught himself medicine and surgery by digging through the scraps of the victims of the gladiator games and illegal racing ring and making money selling and installing the parts. And he joined the decepticons to escape his debt collectors who he owed an arm and a leg. Several arms and legs. Many of them belonging to other people.

Megatron is aware of Knockouts true history due to his own gladiatorial days but doesn't correct his fabricated history since he needs as many combat meds as he can get.

Knock Out is terrified that if Breakdown learns of his real history then he'll think less of him and so guards it carefully.

Breakdown meanwhile doesn't hide anything about his history but does downplay how bad it really was under Motormaster and working with the other stunticons. To say that the team had a toxic abusive dynamic is putting it mildly and BD views leaving them for KO to be one of the best decisions he ever made. Because of that though he never talks about his experiences with the stunticons and hides some of the worst effects.

Beyond that breakdown also just has no real experience with romantic relationships. He lets on that he does but in reality he's a bit immature and doesn't fully know what a serious relationship with knock out would require from his end.

Edit: small edition but numerous people who find out about the twos secret relationship don't initially approve due to things not exactly sounding great out of context and the fact that their courtship period was so short.

Lol just think some drama between them is fuuuun

Hi!!! Saw your requests were open <3 Could you write a Cybertronian s/o x Earthspark Megatron where the reader is super short, like small than Bee? Just some head cannons about how'd he tease/react to them, and how'd he'd act around them in battle and just in everyday life? Thank you!!

[ Please do not repost, plagiarize, or use my writing for AI! Translating my work with proper credit is acceptable, but please ask first! ]

Megatron isn't very vocal about his relationship. He doesn't go around introducing you as his s/o because he doesn't see any reason to, but he doesn't go to extreme lengths to keep it under wraps either. His friends and your's know about your relationship, but if anyone else happens to catch wind of it, he isn't going to act as if it's something they shouldn't know. (G.H.O.S.T. makes the exception because he isn't too trusting of them.)

Neither is he too physically affectionate out in public. He tends to keep to himself in front of others (even friends), and he gets rather flustered if you were to press a kiss to his cheek in full view of other people or if you were to call him any teasing nicknames. But in private, that's where he seems to relax a little. That's where you'll see him call you affectionate or teasing nicknames, and gladly pull you into hearty embraces if you asked.

As for dates, call him old-fashioned or simple, but he enjoys having simple little dinner dates, just the two of you. He sees dates as intimate things and he'd mostly prefer to spend his time on a date with just you, doing something relaxing to bond together (so if double dates with your friends are things you'd invite him out to, it might take a little convincing). He'll be very touched if you went out of your way to plan a nice relaxing little date with him, whether it be somewhere indoors or outdoors.

When it comes to the way he expresses affection, he prefers to do so through his actions rather than verbal or physical affection. It may come off as subtle, but the more you know him, the better you'll be at recognizing that the little things he does—like subtly putting you behind him in dangerous situations, or entering a room first encase something tries to harm the two of you.

Now, he understands that you're a capable fighter, and he trusts that you can handle yourself in a battle despite your small stature, but whenever he believes that you're in dire need of assistance he will not hesitate to floor whoever he's fighting to go help you out. And you'd best believe he isn't going to go easy on your opponent at all. Heck, at times even he starts to fear what he'll do if you ever come to harm, and that says a lot about how much you matter to him.

During arguments, he's usually not one to lose his temper all too easily at you, as he's worked hard to become a better person. Unfortunately old habits die rather hard, and when things get more heated, he'll accidentally slip up and raise his voice a bit too loud for comfort, but not once does he hurt you. When things like these occur, he's quick to apologize and excuse himself from the room so he can go calm down, and when he believes he's calm enough to discuss things with you again, he'll seek you out.

Hi

Can you write headcanons of Transformers EarthSpark Bumblebee (romantic) and any of the terrans of your choice with a reader that is in her period? I would like the confort, going through this is not verry pleasant😞.

I was thinking of reader being a neighbour (and Bee's partner) the kids visit once in a while to learn more about earth and humans since they have to remain hidden and can't interact with other humans out of their family. But this time they find reader struggling with period sinctoms and they help her while she and Bee answer the kids questions about menstruation.

[ Please do not repost, plagiarize, or use my writing for AI! Translating my work with proper credit is acceptable, but please ask first! ]

A/N: Take care of yourself, anon! The terrans are written platonically, while Bee's is the only romantically written one.

Bumblebee

Ah, that time of the month again. If you've been in a relationship with him for a good while, chances are that he's already memorized what he needs to do to help you. He'll whip a heating pad out, go fetch you some asprin or some other off-the-counter pain killers and dietary suppliments (if you use any), and if there is absolutely anything else you need? Just call his name and he'll be there.

Even if your relationship is still relatively new, he'd immediately ask you what you need and what he can do to help, or he'd search it up online and he'd immediately get you these things to help with the pain.

Nightshade

Even with a human family, they're not all too knowledgable on human biology... So the moment you explain what's happening, they're very concerned. Up until this point they've just thought that any kind of bleeding is bad, and they were seconds away from ushering you to a hospital if you and Bee hadn't cleared things up first.

They'll ask you a lot of good and thoughtful questions to try and better understand what you're going through, so hope you don't mind. And even if you wanted, they could build you a personal assistant to help with any rigorous physical activities, or just general day-to-day activities.

Hashtag

With the internet at her fingertips... She can learn about literally anything she wants...! That is if she finds factually correct information first, instead of bumping into a whole bunch of misinformation. And that's sorta what happened when she was trying to find some stuff to help with period cramps and whatnot. Of course she knows not to take some of this info at face-value, and takes your opinion as fact over what incels on the internet have to say.

She's read online that physical exercise or reducing stress can help with period cramps, and though she doesn't know if it'll help out or not, she'll give it a try if you're willing to do it. She'll take you out for a short stroll in the woods, or practice some yoga poses out in your yard, and the moment that the pain becomes too much for you to continue, she'll call it quits right there and then, and the two of you can just chill.

Hello there! I hope this isn't a strange request, but may I request the reader feeling somewhat jealous of earthspark!optimus and elita-1's relationship and optimus reassuring them, please? (In other continuity, their relationship is hinted to be romantic, but I can't remember if that's the case in earthspark??)

✎ A/N: I'm not sure if you wanted this to be written platonically or romantically, but what I've written can be interpreted as both.

[ Please do not repost, plagiarize, or use my writing for AI! Translating my work with proper credit is acceptable, but please ask first! ]

While jealousy can be an ugly thing, he's glad that you're willing to open up and talk with him about it, but he's also saddened that you feel this way. He's not judgemental or critical in the slightest, and if anything he's very attentive and open-minded as he listens to you express your feelings. And once you're done, he'll try his best to help you out if that is what you want.

He'll point out things that he enjoys doing with you—but these are things that only the two of you hang out to do. Or he'll point out things, quirks, or traits about you that he finds endearing. All of these little things—they may not seem like too much at first, but he'll say that when you piece them together, they are what make his friendship with you so special, meaningful and unique, and no other friendship of his can ever capture that same feeling.

But all of this isn't to say that your feelings are invalid and unwarranted. He doesn't look down on you or hold you in any contempt because you're jealous of his relationship with Elita-1, because you are just as important to him as she is.

He also understands that there is nothing he can say to make your jealousy disappear permanently, and feelings like these need constant work to be diminished, so he tries his best to remind you as frequently as possible. Like for example, after the two of you hang out and spend some time together, he'll point out specific ways in which he's enjoyed his time with you.

Can I request headcanons for Earthspark Elita & TFP Arcee (separate) with a cybertronian!s/o who is as tall as Astrotrain was in Cyberverse? In that show, Astrotrain was so big that even larger bots like Optimus and Megatron only barely came up to his knees. Maybe bot!s/o is a bit self-conscious of how much taller they are compared to everyone else?

Elita's used to looking up to bots like Optimus or Megatron, but you however... She really has to look up just to see your face (either that or she has to step back a long ways). She doesn't mind, however her neck does begin to hurt after some time, so she'd prefer to sit on your shoulder or someplace up higher to better meet your level.

She's there and willing to listen if you'd like to talk about any insecurities regarding your height. She's quick to respond to any doubts or worries you have about yourself, and she's pretty good at helping you with your confidence regarding your own image.

She'd appreciate it if you could help her out when she exercises, like if you could be her spotter when she does reps or if you could hold up a training dummy for her to spar. While she would offer to spar with you, you are a bit too big for her to practice fighting with.

One of Arcee's favorite things to do around you is to just to kick back, sit on your shoulder, and just hang out. And this is actually how a whole bunch of conversations between the two of you take place. And you should definitely expect to feel her clamber up your leg and climb you like a tree just so she can get her fill of love and kisses. She does tend to use pet names for you like "bean-stalk" which she says is a pet name they use on Earth, but if you don't like it, then she'll either try to stop using them, or start calling you something else

And of course she'd try and help you feel less conscious about your height and feel more confident by saying pretty flattering things about you, which may make it come off more like she's flirting... But so long as it helps with your self-confidence it's better than nothing.

If anyone were to ridicule you or make fun of you for your height you'd better hold her back—which is easier said than done, even for someone your size, because she will keep squirming in your grip just so she could march on over to whoever said it and give them a piece of her mind.
