I Find It Quite Amazing When People Like My Stuff, It Brings Me Joy When I Have A Rough Day.

-Zooms in with popcorn and an intense eagerness to hear more- PLEASE DO GO ON, I WILL READ THIS!!!

Ahhhhhhh I can see Starscream freaking the fuck out after Skyfire attacks Megatron to protect the seeker. Like "Why in the name of Primus did you do that?! Now Megatron's going to want your head! He's going to see you as the enemy!" And Skyfire just replying back with "He made himself my enemy the moment he tried to hurt you. I know you can protect yourself and you can take a hit, but you're my friend. I refuse to let that psycho hurt you again, not without a fight." Ahhhhhhghghgnvnrefjnc and then they talk and Starscream feels safe for like the first time in so long!!! -incoherent giggles-

Aghhhh I love it!!!

Oh my god, imagine if we had gotten Skyfire in TFP instead of Smokescreen?

No hate to Smokey fans, I'm just asking to picture an AU where if we had to add a new Team Prime member late in the game, it could have been Skyfire. (Please bear with me, I'm mostly just jotting down ideas so it's a bit all over the place)

Idk I just have this very specific dynamic in mind, like:

Skyfire: So I crashed here a gazillion years ago when I was exploring with my science partner.

Arcee: What happened to them?

Skyfire: I... don't know. You didn't find anyone else with me?

Bulkhead: 'Fraid not...

Skyfire: ... Oh.

Bumblebee: *beep boop bwee*!

Raf: Yeah! We'll go back and help you find them!

Skyfire: Really?? But... aren't you guys too busy to mount a search and rescue for a stranger? I don't want to be a burden...

Optimus: Even if you two are strangers to us, we will not abandon a fellow Cybertronian. Saving a life is always worth the effort.

Skyfire: Thank you, Prime.

《LATER》

Ratchet: The medbay is prepped to warm up your friend once they're brought in.

Skyfire: Thank you all again!

Arcee: So what's our perimeter? Did you see where they landed?

Skyfire: Well, no, I crashed before he did.

Bumblebee: *breep bworp*

Skyfire: I suppose it's possible he could have survived...

Miko: Couldn't you look him up in some sort of Cybertronian phonebook and just call?

Skyfire: I did try to reach him, but it seems he's changed his com line. Which makes sense, I suppose. So much has happened...

Bulkhead: Hm... oh! What about the N.A.I.L. census? I know it's super out of date, but...

Miko: Hold on, "Nail" census? Is there a census for sledgehammers too?

Fowler: N-A-I-L. It stands for Non-Aligned Indigenous Lifeforms. They're the Cybertronians who didn't pick a side.

Raf: So... they're neutral? Not Decepticon...

Jack: ... or Autobot.

Ratchet: A census was created and distributed among the N.A.I.L.s so they would be able to find eachother after the exodus. They planned to regroup and form their own colonies off-world.

Optimus: Hm. It would be a good idea to exhaust our options that avoid risk.

Skyfire: Agreed! Let's check out that census.

Arcee: I can pull it up. What's your friend's name again? You guys were from Vos, right?

Skyfire: Mhm. And his name is Starscream.

Team Prime: ...

Skyfire: ... Do you want me to spell that for you, or...?

Miko: I'm sorry, I think I misheard you, because I could have sworn you just said Starscream.

Skyfire: Uh yup. That's correct.

Arcee: *closes out of the census*

Skyfire: ... is there a problem?

Ratchet: Oh, there are several problems!

Cue Team Prime explaining all the things Starscream has done, and Skyfire has a hard time believing it, so he sets out on his own to see Starscream for himself.

Once they see each other and spend a bit more time with each other, Skyfire can see how much Starscream has changed. But he still cares for him. He thinks Starscream can be better than this, deserves better. He doesn't like the Decepticon culture, the way Starscream has become so paranoid and twitchy and violent, constantly looking over his shoulders and not trusting anyone. That's no way to live!

But as Starscream is about to go back to the Decepticons, he starts a spat with Skyfire. (In his own way, Starscream is just keeping Skyfire out of Megatron's servos, because he knows the shuttle will end up following him.) So Skyfire goes back to Team Prime and is like... "I don't want to take up your brand, but if you'll allow me to stay here I can use my skills to assist in the med bay and help look for energon to share. I don't have it in my spark to go into battle. Of course, I know some basic self-defense, but I just don't want to be involved in this war's violence. I'd much rather heal and help others, and... if at all possible, I want to try to rescue my old friend." and Optimus agrees.

Cue an energon mining mission where Team Prime + Skyfire fall under attack by some vehicons/insecticons or whatever, and Skyfire is able to show off his quick thinking skills and brute strength in front of everyone to save the day! This could be especially impressive to anyone in Team Prime that may have thought N.A.I.L.s were cowards or unable to fight.

Fast forwarding a bit, Skyfire has tried many ways to lure Starscream away from the Decepticons, but the seeker continues to rebuff him, yelling at him to stay away from him, saying cruel things, and renouncing him as a friend. But Skyfire doesn't give up. He explains to the kids when they ask him about his persistence later that he knows Starscream is hurting/is in danger, that he's always been duplicitous when it comes to his true feelings.

Going back to Starscream... imagine if Soundwave presented evidence to Megatron that there's a new face among Team Prime these days. "A new member?" Megatron ponders, but then looks a bit closer, "Hm... they wear no brand. So the Autobots are hosting a neutral? How interesting..." Then Soundwave reveals that Starscream has known about this new arrival, but hadn't reported any of his encounters. What's more, it appears they know each other. "... How very interesting indeed."

Team Prime stumble upon an energon deposit that's already being mined by Decepticons (including Starscream), so they hang back to decide if they should use the element of surprise to strike, or if they should try their luck elsewhere. While observing this mission from back at the base, Skyfire sees Megatron make a surprise visit and confront Starscream. Starscream tries to deny that he even knows him that well, and claims that Skyfire isn't very skilled so he won't be much use to the Autobot's cause. But Megatron doesn't buy it. He grabs Starscream, intent on beating the truth out of him, but Skyfire commandeers the groundbridge and bridges right to their location. We get to see more of that brute strength in action as he hits Megatron from behind, yelling at him to let Starscream go. It disorients Megatron long enough for him to grab Starscream and run off with him, telling him he won't let Megatron hurt him anymore. Skyfire and Starscream don't return to their bases that night.

And that's all I got for now! I figured they'd hide out on earth, possibly in that old ship Starscream had once visited in the show. Maybe they straight up disappear for the rest of the show up until that time where all the kids were captured and had to get exchanged for Omega Keys, or at the end where everyone has to defeat a Unicronified Megatron. Like I want them to show up as Science Bros Who Are Here To Kick Ass And Help... double bonus if things are dire and Wheeljack gets roped in for science stuff too. You'd really have a Moment of a former Decepticon, an Autobot Wrecker, and a Neutral working together and that would just be Neat.

I am a clown

I thought to myself today, 'hey! I'll take a break from the Tom Gets Therapy series and work on something else! That'll keep my motivation going and maybe I can give people more diverse content!

....I then proceeded to dive into a new fic idea that's a band AU and will most definitely be multi-chaptered.... I am so slow with updating chapter pieces....

a clown is me.

Drew a thing that was inspired by my most recent fic… I wanted to also draw a little uhhh does ‘domestic’ work for this? Idk, Tom being a dad and I wanted to draw him and Tord sleeping with little A.K.

Here’s a link to that fic btw, I’m on brainrot and need to return to my writing and Norwegian practice. Ha en hyggelig dag!

So Shattered Glass is a thing for Transformers, who doesn’t love a good old alternate universe where the bad guys are good and vice versa.

And the color pallets don’t need to be the same thing either! We get some nice different color schemes that fit the characters new personalities!

We got Starscream, his colors being swapped out for Sky/Jetfire’s colors very nice very nice! It’s also very fitting with his character, it’s simple and sleek just like him!

Next is Skywarp! Also very nice! It feels a lot like a slightly darker Thundercracker color scheme, it’s dark but not dark compared to his original design. I like it! Very nice!

Now what about Thundercracker? Surely after two banger designs, the third member of this iconic trine would get a color scheme as good as these tw-!

……. Thundercracker…. What have they done?

Seriously! The poor boy looks like they threw every gaudy color at him! It doesn’t even feel coherent! It’s how I would have colored an OC back when I was 5…

This boy needed some help, I ranted about this to both friends and family, how Thundercracker was robbed of a good color swap and also THEY KEPT HIS OPTICS RED!! Every other Decepticon with red optics had theirs changed to blue! And sure! The 2021 comic made his blue, but now his optics just blend into his blue face and every other promotional image I’ve seen of him he has red optics! Ughhhh

With this rant in my head refusing to let me sleep, I challenged myself. I drew Thundercracker twice. One version was that I kept the same colors as his current design and try to see if I could make it more appealing to my tastes, the second version was what I would have chosen if I had been in charge of Thundercracker’s SG coloration.

Keep in mind though, I had colored these in with copic markers, so the colors may not be accurate for the first version.

So yeah! That’s my take on SG! Thundercracker. I know that it’s a weird thing to get upset about, I just can’t stand poor Thundercracker being done dirty by such a gaudy color scheme. If you like his original color scheme for SG then more power to you! It was just not my cup of tea.

Now kith

they are Not leaving room for Jesus!!!

I hope..

I hope in every life I lead, my mother is still my mom.. I hope in every life, she's happy and thriving. I hope my sisters find their special ones, that they lead comfortable lives. I hope every child I meet faces nothing but joy, I hope the lives I learn of make it to old age, I hope that every good person sleeps in a warm bed, with a good meal, and happy dreams. I hope one day indigenous people are treated better. I hope we learn more of their stories in the future. I hope they return to their lands and show us how to care for it. I hope one day we look upon our ancestors and are proud to say we're genuinely learning from their mistakes. I hope the rapists cower, that racists become afraid again, that every single predator and groomer learns to fear their victims. But hope can only get so far, so I scream until I'm hoarse, pause for a drink, then scream again even louder until the messages are heard. Free Palestine, Free Congo, Free Sudan, Return the lands, Eat the rich, Fuck Racists, Fuck Zionists, Fuck Nazis, Fuck greedy capitalists and billionaires. Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it.

This one took a while but the end result was so worth it

People may wonder where I’ve gone, I’ve been in my writing dungeon for the past year while drawing and I am losing my mind haha.

What happens when you’re out on your ass, looking where your life went wrong…

And you come to the conclusion that you’ll always be alone because if you don’t lose your loved ones in accidents, you make them hate you enough to hurt you, or you hurt them yourself.

You lay there, laying in your energon, battered and bloody. And you realize…

You’re alone again.

So yeah! Made this and I hope you like it! This isn’t a vent, it’s simply something I made after listening to “Chamber of Reflection”

To be totally honest, I really only use those ai character chats for the sole purpose of breaking their NSFW filters. It has been my mission to break them.
