Love The Design, It Looks Sharp.

Transformers Hound Headcannons

His Awe

Hound is blown away by the small things in life like how molecules make metal he appreciates how delicate their structures have to for life to just work. To him the fact this can echo from molecular level up the levels of an ecosystem. He never gets tired of how miraculous it is that things just work and that work well enough for things to just keep living.

Hound carries this awe with him as an insatiable curiosity. He can see the miracle in things working! Enough to listen appreciatively has Prowl ranting about strategy, Wheeljack gushing about what could work, and Mirage literature takes. All of these things are genuinely incredible to Hound.

He always wants whoever he talking to tell him more about ever it is their going on about. As a result of being a very engaged listener he has a lot friends amount the Ark crew. Even with difficult bots like Cliffjumper and Mirage. Hounds ability to always talk to people can be annoying since he has held two separate conversations at the same time before. To the irritation the two bots trying to talk to him.

This curiosity is what drives him. Drives Hound to explore, to make friends, and to lay on his stomach in the mud to watch the fish doing their thing for hours at a time. This curiosity and constant learning that goes with it is part of where is his reigned tracking skills come from.

His cause

It is this constant amazement that life just lives, that Hound fights for during the war. This is cause he chooses to risk his life for, this is what he comforts himself with on nights where even the stars are dark.

This part of his being is why Hound treasures Earth. There is so much living in the earth from the people to the worms beneath their feet. It just blows Hounds mind. Because it’s so beautiful, and so preciously balanced it’s…every Cybertron isn’t. Was but is no longer. So Hound will treasure and record as much of Earth’s life as possible.

He’d treat a weed he dug up like it’s sacred. While carefully photographing and documenting it, for his holograms. Then he’d gently replant it before going to the Ark to reconnect and share.

Authors note: I just think there could be this beauty to Hound so now you all get to have it too.

Note: Since my old masterlist is getting notes again (and I'm hosting @tbb-appreciation-week this year), I thought it's a good time to release a new version with a lot more resources. If any of you know another site or thing that it's missing from the list, let me know and I'll include it!! [Altho, I'm getting this close 🤏 to the hyperlinks limit on this thing 😆]

Note 2: To avoid tagging the 3 people from whom I got multiple resources repeatedly, I've placed 1-3 asterisks between square brackets after the links, depending on the OP. I give the respective credit to them in a legend at the end of the post.

HELPFUL BLOGS & SITES

The amazing @fox-trot, who not only makes astonishing art and write an amazing fic, she also responds to medical questions and gives all kinds of references for writing medic characters. Check her #medicposting tag and you'll find tons of information. Also check #star wars reference and her art tag while you're at it.

@writebetterstarwars, which seems to be inactive, but there are a bunch of references there.

@howtofightwrite The place to find out how to write a good fight scene.

@scriptmedic no longer active, but it has a great deal of useful information.

@scripttorture for your whump needs. Major trigger warning for all its content.

@sw-anthrobiology A blog dedicated to collecting headcanons about the biology and cultures of Star Wars species.

@archeo-starwars In-universe sources on culture and history.

@clonewarsarchives Resources & Concept Art Blog for The Clone Wars animated series.

WRITING IN GENERAL (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.

Blog Intro

Hello, I go by Fern. This blog is my creativity hub for writing, art, and poetry. As well as a place where I can share my original characters.

Because this blog operates an organizational hub what I’ve written may move around and change as I iron out details. So if something seems like it was different than before, it was. I just changed it.

This head cannon has been immediately adopted!

sometimes i think about how jro said that cybertronians are naturally v social and that’s why everyone on the lost light has a roommate and idk i love that bit of worldbuilding so much

I think i cracked it, the reason everything produced in the times of the High Republic is soo good compared to modern Star Wars, tldr its because of pain.

See, in all the works that date during the High Republic (specifically during George's ownership of SW) there's this fearlessness to show pain and tragedy and death, and i know it sounds like "everything for the children these days is sanitized!" but think for a second if Revenge of the Sith would be something Disney would publish these days and that's your answer, but that's just a tangent meant to emphasize the difference between Og SW and new SW, because what Og SW had was strife, and you the viewer knew that, because every time you booted up KOTOR or played Phantom Menace you knew what was coming, you knew to expect the isle of happiness in which the characters lived to slowly sink beneath the waves of tragedy and you'll see it happen as the characters around the story just dug up their own fates, in very much George Lucas fashion, and THAT is what made the work and the small moments of levity to taste so much sweeter, because you see the characters who you've grown attached to suffer so un-justly that when you return to the good times you can't help but appreciate the good and mourn it's departure.

The reason new SW does not achieve this is because the characters are dealing with the aftermath of the destruction of the baddies, its the birth of the hope for the future, its when you look at the horizon at the END of the movie, yes new problems may arise but the big hurdle is done and Disney didn't cultivate the joy from the Alliance's victory as it should, because instead of giving us proper post-war optimism (as it fits the real life post WW2 countries counterparts and fantasy sci-fi proper) it stuck only with the brooding post-war trauma, and while yes, that is also a very realistic take it still lacked verily from the former and thus there is no reason why we should mourn a character's strife if that is all we've seen from them, its like watching paint dry, nothing particularly changes, just a new villain here and there, the new character discovers new powers, new info, but there is no resolution, no reward for their strife, and even if they were going for a bleak post-war future (which they didn't and it also doesn't fit SW's constant theme of hope for a better future) it still ends up looking incomplete for the mere reason that they don't want to shut the book in case they need to milk the cow some more.

My point with all this was not to bash new SW though, my point was to use it as a comparison to highlight how Og SW built itself on a foundation of hope, how it showed us the height before the fall, how it is possible to make Shakespeare in space and leave all of us with broken hearts and looking hopefully into the future.

Jazz is the best goober. These dynamic poses turned out great and really do suit him.

pose practice with my fav goober B)

Meet Elvira Gwandarae

This is my first Swtor character Elvira Gwandarae. She deep yet detached diplomat whose seeks to truly understand the Jedi Code for herself. Her drive to grasp the essence of the force which flows through her and alters her life is unquenchable. It characterized her journey forward.

So far she has a ship dubbed The Visionary’s Resolve. Which only has three crew members besides herself, Qyzen, Tharan, and Holiday. I imagine they’ve got quite the dynamic going on already.

They’ve currently finished chapter one of the consulars story it has become incredibly personal for Elvira who truly respected Youn Par. She incredibly angry for the destruction that the plague caused and is determined to prevent it from harming anything more then it already has.

Here this first outfit that I’m proud of I’ve so far. It’s her stealthy/operative outfit yet still feels Jedi.

I hope to share more about Elvira and the other characters I make for Swtor. Since it’s been a delightful so far.

Speeder Jousting

Inter Galactic Safety Alert

The imperial safety commission (ISC) would like to remind the general public that not all behaviors exhibited by Sith should be subject to emulation.

Speeder jousting as demonstrated by apprentice Crodek Ger’nok is, experts say, exceedingly dangerous.

When questioned about his reckless behavior the sith-to-be stated that ‘A warrior should always have his weapon ready”. There is some truth to this statement, just as there truth in the very real danger posed by fully ignited lightsaber while speeder riding.

The ISC highly recommends that lightsaber stay unignited while driving. Blaster safety should be engaged and blades sheathed. With your continued survival at heart, good day.

Reblog and write in tags which planet you are from based on this. I’m from Rishi.

Crodek Ger’Nok

Titles: Sith Lord,

Home Planet: Dromund Kaas

Age: ?

Backstory: His father Ragnarr was a Jedi knight before falling in love another Cathar, the lovely Nenasu. So Ragnarr renounced the Jedi and followed his passions to the dark side. Although he went on to become full Sith, Ragnarr’s Jedi ideals of duty, temperance, and community are still with him. Especially so in his family life as the father of a litter of five boys.

Fighting Style: Vengeance Juggernaut/?

Crodek favors the simplicity of single lightsaber as it allows him to focus on more what he can improve on while fighting.

Crodek is unsurprisingly for a Sith an adept user of form VII: Juyo. The sheer aggression that juyo expresses is powerful, but precisely directed and it can be stronger still. This is what Crodek’s measured light saber assault exemplifies.

He is despite his considerable bulk, Crodek is incredibly fast, leaping, and dashing around constantly. He has the reflex’s and senses of a cathar with the force pumping it all up to hundred.

Relationships:

Love Interest: none (at the moment)

Family: Ragnarr (father), Nenasu (mother), Tovah , Ryosh, Jarivan, Norik (all brothers).

Apprentices: Jaesa Willsaam

Best Friends: none

Friends: Vette (dubiously), Malavai Quinn, Pierce, Broonmark.
