okay but like...what if- hear me out- what if...somehow...someway.....Perceptor and Deadend find a baby Pharma picture scattered about? Like what, then? 👀
(because aaaaaaaa baby pharma is so cute! x3 )
Perceptor thinks he’s super cute and Dead-End is shocked at how similar he is to their sparkling, Sparks, both in terms of looks and their incessant need to eat their own hand.
How are the other future parents? I could see like Pharma baby proofing everything, but everyone else? Baby’s on its own
They leave the baby to fend for itself with nothing but a pacifier. 💀 No, here’s how each parent will be like (minus Inferno and Red Alert).
Pharma/ Perceptor/ Dead-End
- Percy is actually the parent who’s super protective of their sparklings, Sparks and Malin-1
- he probably engineers stuff to ensure their safety like a baby walker that protects them when it senses danger lol
- Pharma is the parent who documents EVERYTHING (ie: first steps, first drawing, first day of the academy, etc)
- but he absolutely is also super protective of his children (he would stop at nothing to track down whoever hurt them)
- Dead-End is always confused lol
- he’s never had this much responsibility before so he really doesn’t want to mess up/ hurt his sparklings
- he’s also the parent who’s around the sparklings the most since he’s a SAHM
- they all are new to parenting so they make mistakes, but that’s to be expected
- after the birth of their second sparkling, Malin-1, they have a better grasp of parenting
Sunstreaker/ Fireflight
- Fireflight, even though is new to parenting and sparklings, is very good at it
- when Blue Jay was born, something just clicked and now he’s best mom
- he’s the fun parent who lives in the moment (while Sunstreaker thinks long term)
- Sunstreaker has experience raising children because of his younger brother Sideswipe
- he’s strict which sorta backfires on him lol (Sideswipe and Blue Jay are both rebellious)
- as Blue Jay grows, he struggles with connecting with her
- he’s a misunderstood parent; someone who really does care about his child, but could benefit from self reflecting
Blaster/ Tracks
- Blaster already has experience carrying and raising sparklings (Rewind and Eject)
- he’s kinda laidback but still enforces rules
- he’s basically the ideal parent
- it’s Tracks who struggles
- she’s the kind of parent who coddles her sparklings (I kinda imagine her being like Mary Cooper from Young Sheldon? It won’t be as bad though because Blaster does intervene)
- she baby proofs the house too
- she tones it down a little after the birth of the triplets/ second carrying cycle (they end up having 9 in total lol)
Starscream/ Soundwave
- Soundwave has experience raising sparklings (Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Ratbat, Buzzsaw, and Lazerbeak)
- but unlike Blaster, almost all of cassettes passed away so he’s a bit of a paranoid parent
- he’s good at hiding it though (Starscream and Blaster are the only ones who pick up on it)
- even though Starscream has read hundreds of documents on how to raise sparklings and what to expect from adopting, he’s still confused
- mainly because parenthood isn’t as easy as reading a book
