Bitty bots! @the-bittiest-bot - Tumblr Blog

I haven't done digital art in months but these two are taking up ALL of my braincells, soooo 😭😭💖

(To little ones seeing this, I'm a regressor but this blog is for Project Hail Mary in general and not specifically curated to be kiddo friendly! It's got the same flavour of grown up topics as the book and movie!)

Grace may be a certified baby but he is still a scientist and his specialist interests are still Space and Alien and golly gee willikers you'll never guess where he is and with whom. So like I feel like a lot of his interactions with Rocky while regressing on the ship would be like this.

Grace: How do you cry?

Rocky: Eridians do not cry. Eridians do not have eyes. Grace knows this, statement.

Grace, frustrated: But- I know. But when you're sad- cuz when I'm sad, I cry- ?

Rocky: Baby Grace want to learn what Eridians do when sad, question?

Grace: *nodding* yes. ...please.

Rocky: Grace sit down. I will teach about Eridian feelings.

Grace: *claps excitedly*

~~~

Rocky: What Baby Grace doing, question?

Grace, struggling to put on his space suit: I'm gonna go on a spacewalk!

Rocky: No. Grace stay on ship.

Grace, pausing and immediately tearing up: What? Why?

Rocky: Grace is baby today. Space not safe for babies. Baby Grace stay on ship.

Grace, beginning to sniffle: But-

Rocky: Non-negotiable. Safety is most important. Grace can do spacewalk when baby time is done.

Grace: ...okay😞

Rocky: Good listener Grace. Look out window instead?

Grace, perking up: Maybe I'll see a nebula!!

~~~

Grace: What's "spaceship" in Eridian?

Rocky: ♪♬♫♫

Grace: What's "alien"?

Rocky: ♬♪♪♪♩♬

Grace: Oooo. What's "friend"?

Rocky: ♬♩♬♫♪

Grace: Rocky, you're my *bad whistling*

Rocky: ...Good try. Baby Grace also my ♬♩♬♫♪.

Tiny Grace is a fairly silent crier whereas tiny Simon is a very loud/physical crier

Now, u are Rocky who said he was fiiiine he could take care of both baby humans all by himself!

....now you are frantically shaking rattles and humming for a sleepy and weepy Grace who started crying because Simon is wailing (and you're actively trying to keep Simon from hitting himself because he's so overwhelmed and that's a habit you and your mate and Grace have been trying to redirect)

Poor babies. Poor Rocky. He's doing his best. I imagine even with five arms, the boys are still a handful.

Here’s a Little! Starscream edit I made a while back!!!!!!

HE'S SO CUUUUUUTE!!!

(T♡T)

How would Star react to someone else from his creator surviving and finding him?

He would be surprised for sure, but it probably won't go well. His self hatred for that part of himself would most likely be taken out on that poor mech. Perpetuating the hate cycle as he's known to do. He needs major therapy before he can be okay with himself; let alone someone else like him.

OMG, the last chapter, lol. Poor Star, I hope that over time the Autobots will show at least some understanding towards him. Although they can also be understood — the poor guys haven't slept properly for several days. By the way, please tell me that sooner or later he will team up with KO and BD again? Their trio is great, I want it to come back again :(

Everyone is cranky and scared about all the changes, but it'll be okay. And KO and BD need their baby just as much as Starscream does, so I won't keep them apart too long.

✮ CONFUSED LITTLE! OPTIMUS PRIME.

🌀 — Optimus regresses involuntarily, causing him to become confused and scared often. Especially if he’s by himself.

﹕When he’s around Ratchet he immediately clings to him, thinking he’s one of his parental figures. ( Either one of his doctors from when he was younger or one of his creative advisors. )

﹕ When with Kup, he tries to act tough and stop himself from crying or whining. Kup understands Optimus though and tells him he doesn’t have to act strong around him, especially not because he’s young.

﹕ It took the others a long time to get used to it when Optimus would randomly start acting like a sparkling. Especially Bee. He tries his best to be an older brother for Optimus when he’s small.

﹕Optimus loves to sleep when little, it distracts him from stress and problems.

﹕He doesn’t regress to a specific age, but he does regress to an age range of a sparkling of about 3 - 5 years old. ﹕Cries a lot, gets scared very easily when in new places of the arc. He stays in one spot of the ship usually, either Ratchet’s office, the main panel room or his office. He doesn’t go anywhere else unless it’s with a cg.

﹕Gets disoriented by his height and strength. Because of this, he sits down a lot, trying to make himself seem shorter. Along with this he doesn’t touch much or play with toys aside from ones that move on their own as to not break them or damage them.

﹕Loves toy trains : )

Baby Op is so special to me, many people see him as a cg but I think him being a little works very well too and makes sense.

To the anon who asked if my head Canon would work with someone like Breakdown, I apologize for the wait and for accidentally losing your ask. (;'-^-)

From what I remember from your question, you doubted my head canon would work with someone who had pupil-less optics like Breakdown or Arachnid; and you are correct. They do not have visible pupils to dilate or go fuzzy as a visual indicator of their regression.

But fear not! After much time to think about it, I have a solution:

Eye brows

Or more specifically, raising the eye brows.

Using the research from the great @macadam and their post here, you can make a character look younger by raising the eyebrows.

Example:

Of course I've also rounded his eyes and added the white lights for extra cuteness.

Behold: Little Breakdown!

I've also used this approach when I draw regressed Starscream. I think it works well.

Bonus:

CG Knockout and little Starscream play date.

sick Roddy headcanons?

Hooooo boy, you thought regular little Roddy was a handful? Buckle up.

🤒🔥SICK RODIMUS PRIME LITTLE SPACE🔥🤒

TW: This does involve throwing up! I have highlighted the ones that mention this in green!

(Roddy gifs are hard to find, gimme a break)

🔥While Rodimus always runs hot, there is a point that gets concerning. Warm like a heating pad? Thats fine? Hot that scorches your fingers and makes your paint melt? Less than fine. Fine is a small blot in the review mirror. Fine, was 5 hours ago when he could have told someone he was feeling crummy.

🔥He wants to be held, please, please don't put him down- please! NO- Don't put him down! He didn't mean to hurt you! He didn't mean it! He's sorry! He's sorry- he didn't mean to burn you-

🔥Rodimus isn't picky when it comes to who's comforting him, unless you're Megatron, Ultra Magnus, or Drift. He'll leave you if they show up.

🔥He hates throwing up, which he does almost constantly. Poor boy can't keep anything down and has to be connected to an IV, which the tube melts close to him. He has to be forced to vomit because he'll keep himself from throwing up if he can. Its always Megatron doing it, which makes Rodimus upset and confused. Why is Meggy hurting him?! Why?!

🔥 Cold tub. He hates the tub when its cold, hates it, but its the only way to get him to cool down.

🔥 He doesn't WANT the icky energon- He wants his ruststicks! NO. IT TASTES BAD!

🔥Everyone always comes out on the other side, covered in scorches and burns.

🔥He complains about being cold constantly and begs to be held.

🔥You know when the fevers broken when he FINALLY passes out for more than 20 minutes.

Trauma regressor Starscream on the brain rn...

babylurk

Just a little fic submission I thought you'd like:> (regressor OP and Cg ratchet in tfa)

It was raining.

Which in itself isn't bad. Infact Ratchet usually loves the rain when he's inside, nice and dry that way. However, this had been the day that he promised he'd take Optimus to the park. The kid loved the park, or more specifically loved this little area somehow untouched by humans where he could sit and watch the ducks in a nearby pond. He'd giggle and point, bouncing in excitement. It was unbearablly adorable and Ratchet kept every memory of their time there close to his spark. And after a stressful week, Sentinel being an aft head, humans being a HUGE pain in the aft, seventeen SEPORATE Deception attacks, and he could tell that Optimus was not recharging well or fueling nearly as often as he needed too. In short the kid both deserved and NEEDED his time in his favorite place. But it was raining, and it would do nothing to help him if he was wet and miserable the entire time. OR if Ratchet was either wet or miserable. If only Optimus could see this too. "Bu' bu- pak!" The little fire truck was pointing at the door fluid already in his optics threatening to drip down his faceplate.

Ratchet felt his spark twist in sympathy. "Kid you're gonna get sick if you try and go out in this. It'll get under your plating and feel all icky and cold," he tried to gently reason with the prime, but there was no consoling him. "Shhhh hey don't cry." His hands cupped his faceplate gently and rubbed his digits under his optic. "I know I know. You were really excited weren't you."

Optimus burst into tears as soon as Ratchet said that and nodded before burying himself into his caretaker's neck cabling. Ratchet didn't stop him, in fact he pulled him closer and let the poor prime cry out. He could feel exhaustion, disappointment, heartbreak, and even a little fear all in his EMH field. All he could do in return was gently wrap his little one in his own field thick with love, protection, and care. His voice a little gruff, rough with age but still so gentle for him, in his audial repeating conformations of permission to cry, that he was here, and that he still loved him. Optimus's only response to this was to cry even harder and to sink into the older bot. Grunting with the force Ratchet slowly started moving, pulling Optimus with him so they could be settled on the couch. "I'm not leaving," the bot huffed slightly when Optimus whined in complaint at moving in-between sobs. "Just thought the couch would save me from falling over from standing too long. I'm old remember."

Optimus paused in his sobbing long enough to give a wet giggle before hiding back into Ratchet's neck. He was safe there. Ratchet could feel the little one finally start to breath after about a nanoklik and he pulled a wet cloth from his subspace. "Head up kiddo." He huffed in a soft command. "Gotta get this off before it dries and gets all icky and sticky." He stuck out his tounge to emphasize his point and Optimus giggled again.

Optimus whined a bit when he started wiping his face but soon settled. "Pak." He whined miserably.

"I know I know." Ratchet, although he would forever deny it, cooed softly and kissed his nose. "Do you know what? We can still cuddle and read. Doesn't that sound nice?"

Optimus thought about it for a moment, thumb drifting to his derms absentmindedly, before he slowly nodded. "Duks." He said quietly looking up at him and although it sounded like "dooks" more than the waterfowl the old medic smiled and nodded.

"I'll read to you about ducks kid. No reason we can't do that."

At the confermation his eyes lit up and he settled against his chest expectantly. Ratchet laughed kindly and pet his helm with one hand. "We gotta go get everything ready first kid. Don't you want to still have our picnic inside while I read."

Optimus sat up at that and smiled so brightly at him Ratchet's spark almost broke. Such a simple thing and he was smiling like he hung the cybermoon for him. "Oil!" The baby bot squealed scampering off and bouncing in place.

Ratchet could only laugh again and stand up slowly, joints cracking and poping. "Yeah kiddo- oil. And a pillow picnic. Now run along and bring your sparkling stuff to my hab alright? I'm sure your stuffies miss their favorite bot."

Optimus nodded and bonded off waving excitedly at prowl and exclaiming "oil!" Before leaving the motorcycle bot in the dust.

Ratchet snickered before turning and going to get ready for his little one
