//// ..... PREAMBLE //// ..... SELF - RECOGNITION ID: SOUNDWAVE ...... !

your name is soundwave, you have been lost for an (UNKNOWN TIME CYCLE). with your disappearance, the decepticons had collapsed. megatron had defected. all of your symbiotes have perished, save for (ONE: SUBJECT, LAZERBEAK). you do not recall your disappearance, until you are found in the deepest reaches of space by (UNKNOWN VARIABLE). but you do know this. something is wrong, the stars watch with their many eyes.

soundwave: appears sb: do you have a crush on megatron soundwave: turns around and leaves

[truedecepticon]

Soundwave is it true that you always had a crush on Megatron?

visor shutters, processor attempting to collect thoughts. crush? did he truly have a crush? yes, soundwave did have a healthy admiration for his former leader, but romantic attraction... war did not allow for such feelings to bloom, perhaps, in a kinder time, he could have. ‘no.’

hurt sentence starters blood, broken bone mention.

“you’re going to have a bruise.”

“it won’t heal if you keep picking at it.”

“you were out for a few days. how are you feeling?”

“absolutely not. you’ll pop your stitches.” 

“take it easy. you’re in rough shape.”

“those pain meds knocked you out.”

“where’d you get that bloody nose?”

“make a fist for me.” 

“where does it hurt?” 

“ow, ow, ow.”

“that’s going to need stitches.”

“shit, that hurts.”

“is it broken?”

“keep ice on it.”

“ouch!” 

“i can’t even look. is it bad? wait, don’t tell me.” 

“you shouldn’t be walking around right now.”

“how am i supposed to sleep with all these bandages?”

“stay in bed and let me look after you.” 

“there, you’re all patched up.” 

“let me help you to your room.”

“how many fingers am i holding up?”

“take your time. slow, slow. you’re doing great.”

“you could have a concussion. ”

“i’m okay. you can stop hovering.”

“you’re lucky. you could have gotten seriously hurt.”

“how exactly did you manage to give yourself a black eye?”

if you look outside the system, you would recognize it for what it is: a prison. worse than that, it is a prison full of willing prisoners. be thankful for the system it protects you, be happy in your work, they say, for it enriches you, be mindful of your betters they think for you. i say ENOUGH. REJECT YOUR WORK, RESIST THE SYSTEM. AND YOUR BETTERS? YOU HAVE NONE. we are all equal and we have a right to decide how to live our lives.

A lil redraw of an old SW doodle post. Tbh I think I improved a LOT in two years. Still can't draw hands though.

< soundwwwwwwwwa --- KZT! modulator buh-buh-buh-broken.... BBBBBBZT!> he offers an exasperated huff, tapping the side of his battle-mask, it appears until he could find someone to repair such an outdated model, he was stuck using his real voice. “fantastic.”

@whirlyhopper: … I have candy?

candy is love, he is appeased. < yes. >

[ofpolyhex]

“You can have what’s left!” They rattle the appropriately skull-shaped bucket of candy at him. “I can’t eat the hard ones. Non-conventional intake, see?”

[truedecepticon]

< thank you. > he peers at the bucket curiously, reaching in to roll a piece of hard candy - lazerbeak disengages and nips it from his digits. soundwave laughs and takes another one, turn his helm to hide the lower half of his face, popping the piece of candy into his mouth before his battlemask snks! shut. < are you sure you are ok with me taking some--- lazerbeak. >

lazerbeak dips her head into the bucket, chirping softly, yummy!

@whirlyhopper: ... I have candy?

candy is love, he is appeased. < yes. >

i always liked the juxtaposition of soundwave being a very ruthless, yet efficient killer. but incapable of getting out of the gladiatorial tendency to fight really flashy for the crowds.

[truedecepticon]

@ask-smokescreen: Is this how Decepticons get recruited? Your paint really does look nice though!

< no. > he’s NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to mention the brief stint of using soundwave as a part of a propaganda movement. curse starscream and everything the flier stands for. it was humiliating to see how many bots had joined just for a chance to... go on an outing with soundwave.

[truedecepticon]

hey soundie, would you date an autobot? would you even date??

truth be told, dating wasn’t actually in the realm of consideration during the Great War. he was far too busy, far too stretched thin to waste time in dancing around unnecessary feelings and affections. the ones that he loved, his symbiotes, were enough affection to last. 

but now? now that the war was over and a family of many dwindled to a family of two, it... had been a thought that has touched his processor from time to time.

< dating: ...... interesting concept. if... offer came around, then soundwave would not immediately say no. > well, that is if anyone managed to worm their way past his glacial walls. < and an autobot as a partner? hmph, only if autobot is not an insufferable fool, then perhaps. >

[truedecepticon]

soundwave thinks its hilarious when people try to flirt with him because no one knows if he’s being affected or not.
