Curate, connect, and discover
Don't remember doing this but it's cute, he's cute so it's alright.
Imagine Starscream learning about human behaviour and mostly the internet.
And not on the 'aww he secretly still has a heart of gold' (honestly hate that). I mean in a way he only did it cause he was bored and only had human internet available.
And also for new insults he can use on Megatron without being understood so he can get away with it (he still gets abused cause Meg knew what he said was an insult) and cause when he says Cybertronian insults to humans they don't understand. He's just stepping up his roast battle game.
And soon others join in because they can't let Starscream have all the fun. And then Autobots (I know they hang out with humans but I think that they didn't dig into the 'mean' stuff) join in cause the battlefield was starting to be dominated by the decepticons due to the enormous metal damage.
And that's how all Cybertronians started to use human insults. Yeah I headcanon this now
Bumblebee joking with Starscream: Looks like someone has daddy issues
Starscream: I DO NOT HAVE DADDY ISSUES, I AM PAPA'S SPECIAL FUCKING BOY
(Megatron: Hey you're not allowed to swear yet. You're grounded for 2 days now.)
I'm at work (not really I'm too young) and Starscream is the only thing keeping me awake.
I'm honestly getting better at poses just need to find a way to make the head fit in (I had to glue the face on top of the old one) for the big one.
Guys I'm seeing improvement in my art I'm so happy. Little steps you know
The top drawing makes him look like cryptic (I don't even know what that word means)
(The tags have my opinion on Megatron, I'm actually pissed rn I'm writing too much)
I hate the Starscream haters who say that we like him due to "Oh you all make him all innocent, and a baby, but he's insane and terrible but you don't see that. He's not a victim he hurts people" (Basing this off literal interpretations of him from people who hate or hold no liking for him that I've seen)
Like stfu in my head I'm making him so insane and insecure and yes there is innocence but that's now erased so fuck off from my 'will kill for being forced to do a small task that annoys him' son.
Also there's a reason why everyone who actually has a brain cell says that he's a victim is because he is one.
Like there's no way you look at him and his fans who some have been victims to different types of abuse seeing themselves in him, AND THINK THAT HE'S NOT A VICTIM.
And people who don't hate him but have no love for him, but like literally everyone else, give the most shitty interpretations. Like maybe the reason why that is. Is because you probably have only actually looked at him in fans making him like that for comfort and not even trying to make it close to cannon.
And I ain't saying that oh you don't like Starscream, you then don't actually know him. But it's those who will have affection for every character no matter what simply having none for starscream or having shitty views on his character that's seems like it's from a wattpad story.
If you don't like him but understand his character then okay that's perfectly fine, I might not like your character but I'd make sure to understand them properly before actually arguing with the person on why they are wrong. And you shouldn't even be doing that in the first place just let people enjoy themselves.
I'm actually tweaking from other things but I can't break anything so I wrote this in 7 minutes lol
So I just found out I reached 1000 likes a while ago so uh yeah
There's also a lack of starscream here so 'chucks rushed drawing'
Yeah I don't know how to do the rendering cause I've never watched videos but it is what it is
Also one without the yellow under cut
Megatron has been gone for a while, presumably died in an explosion, even Soundwave believes it. So they obviously hold a funeral.
Starscream at the front doing the talking (nobody has a clue on how or why but hey free entertainment) : "That bitch is dead!!! Free energon for everyone!!! Let's partyyyyy!!!!!"
Scene pauses: "But not for long... He's not really dead I can sense it.. he always comes back to haunt me.....
It's not fair....
He's gonna come back in three episodes and beat me up beyond recognition- see the reference I did there huh no okay but it's from a song by Mindless self indulgence- due to taking control even though it really is the only option and there's no escape from this fate as I'm only a slave for his messed up entertainment"
"Well that was too much self reflection right there almost made you think I'd change my ways and get a redemption arc like hahaha imagine that."
Scene unpauses: "I'm betting 10,000 shanix that nobody can drink 20 cubes of high grade without pucking - or dieing!!!!"
Therapist(Rung I guess): "Fine, your all without (loving) fathers alright."
SG Starscream: "I'm not. I fucking love my dad (Megatron)."
Qué montage of Megatron being careful and caring to Starscream and making sure he's alright and overall having fun.
SG Starscream: "My dad's fucking awesome 😎."
Other Starscream's: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!"
Finally got to do drawings and I'm practicing poses with Starscream ofc, it's easier with robots anyway.
Learning how to draw metalhawk cause I need to draw some interactions with him and star when I improve.
I don't know what I was planning for the top drawing but the colours low-key work just in a weird way.
Starscream: "Got in trouble for apparently being disrespectful to my elders and teachers.
They kept on blabbering about my attitude and how I was wrong and should apologise.
Like yes I am disrespecting cause I have no respect for that guy. Fuck you want me to do lie. From what I know that's bad.
So am I the asshole? Yes but I'm right so I ain't"
I feel like he's formed that parental figure to his team even though they are almost all the same age they still look up to him.
And then you have Starscream with his abusive dad being the only thing he's ever known. He may have stared a bit to long whenever Optimus would show affection or simple respect and care to his team cause those concepts are out of reach for him. So when he finally goes to the autobots.
He can't fit in. But Optimus isn't beating him up to the brink of death or blaming him for something out of his control or that he isn't doing things right.
And at this point Starscream realises he was taken in by the wrong brother.
And I feel like this is a good point on why Starscream cared so much about Optimus when he joined the decepticons again. Cause he finally got a taste of a true father and he does cherish it.
And on Optimus' side he saw how his brother treated Starscream but not all of it or the fact that Starscream had never had anyone else or how young he is or was. So when he joined he started to realise these things but instead of pressuring it all out of him to talk he simply became what Starscream lacked his whole life knowing that the former wouldn't work on Starscream. He thinks action speak louder than words yet words are still needed. Starscream also has that ideology but instead in the way of longing for it. Along the way he does see Starscream as a son.
But things don't last forever, it didn't even last long enough to start.
But it's just Starscream
Is it bad that I think of him in everything. I think not.
I feel like Sg would hate Skybound at the beginning but slowly come to the realisation of his situation and start integrating himself as an older brother/ proper father figure trying to guide him away from the path his abusive father figure (Megatron) forced upon him.
Edit: just realised the colour for Omni mark match sg starscream
Starscream probably if he saw the meme
Could work the other way around if he's trying to deny it but we know it ain't true
I'm sorry but man the lyrics are really like Starscream actually trying to make amends but due to his self destructive tendencies he keeps failing. He also wants everyone to know he is actually wanting to change but doesn't know how to.
"I swear, I will die trying" literally cannon because everytime he has changed or become a hero he dies, straight away sometimes.
"I'm not a good person, I'm bearly a person at all" cannon cause I say so and let me explain. He knows he's an asshole and sometimes he purposely acts like one for reasons. And in some of the darkest versions of Megatron's and Starscream's relationship he is quite literally a slave to Megatron and a "whipping boy" actual quote from Starscream and it makes me sick.
Like the moments are similar to how Deadpool does it like imagine a scenario that goes:
Megatron and Starscream arguing.
Starscream staring directly at us as the scene pauses: I interrupt this scene to give a warning for the viewers. I believe it's around the time I get my ass beaten up. So if you are uncomfortable or whatever with abuse I suggest you skip to 10:54.
The scene unpaused but Megatron just walks away with a huff.
Starscream whispering whilst pulling the screen down: Now that's a suprise. A good one of course. Primus really is shining down o-Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Megatron in fact did not leave and was just waiting for his fussion canon to charge. And skipping to 10:54 was actually correct.
I'm really disappointed nobody has had this idea no matter how much I try to find something like it
Me: Oh my doomed robot relationship that has so much potential
?: Oh you talking about Jetfire and Starscream
Me: NOOOO I'M TALKING ABOUT METALHAWK. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOO MUCH YET IT ENDED TOO SOON. STARSCREAM COULD OF HAD A SHOULDER TO LEAN ON AND I NEED THEM TO HUG AND THEY DESERVE TO BE ALIVE TOGETHER. METALHAWK COULD "FIX" HIM. WHY STARSCREAM DO YOU KEEP FUCKING THINGS UP FOR YOURSELF HE WAS SO GOOD TO YOU?(I know not really fix him but I like how he definitely could make him see wrong in the way he thinks and does things)
My rare pair that is the only time I go out of my way to see it as a ship.
(At least it isn't as rare pair as that one person on here that's whirl x starscream respect the grind tho)
Me when I finally draw again for a week.
School is a pain and tests are worse but I have this guy to keep me going (he's telling me to kms(he's not even real I'm imagining things)
So Starscream is around 25 ish in human years in G1 and you take away the war he was definitely around 17 when he joined the war and lost Skyfire. Now when you're 17 you'll be in college/university and I think that's similar to the Cybertron thing in G1 the show.
Starscream goes on an exploration with Jetfire away from Cybertron and I'd like to think you have to be a certain age requirement and qualification to pass and G1 Starscream did go but in Skybound when Skyfire leaves Starscream doesn't go with him and he's seen as if following Skyfire's carer path. So he's definitely in his early teens and he didn't join the war in the beginning so he's been fighting for less than 200 years (which might be around 3 years in human terms except these guys age faster when they are younger)
So whilst G1 Starscream may be young Skybound is even younger and with my idea of Starscream and Ulchtar being a split personality with no memories of the other Starscream is mentally a 11 year old whose first action was killing and in total he would probably be around 12/15.
Thank you for joining my ted talk.
I can hear him go 'wtf do you mean you hate this I was the best in the academy even though everyone hated me. You're so weak'.
It's encourages me tho
You gotta hear me out okay he's so bipolar with his feelings for obvious reasons and he's so emotional yet barely has any emotional connections he's just like me fr.
Also apologies for the shitty pic
Ulchtar in his head throwing up, crying and screaming: NOOOOOO HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING KYS NOWWW
Ulchtar was shown to love bugs so I feel like he would have absolutely loved the humans and animals and would find ravage cute.
Redraw of the animated drawings with water colours.
Galaxy Force Starscream the lovable tragic asshole you are. I had to squish his face cause either made it too big. First time drawing him and those lips do not disappoint.
Water colour pens are good but I just can't use them properly without leaving marks making it look ugly.
The starscream brain rot be hitting hard. And I have another song idea that fits him which has turned into a character analysis as well.
'The Mind Electric' with the bits that goes
"Someone help me understand what's going on inside my mind" could be the change of Starscream's mentality due to the normalisation of his abuse and how he views it as -normal-. And if it's Skybound it could be whatever the hell Megatron did to force Starscream to kill the prisoners when he first joined.
"Doctor I can't tell if I'm not me" literally the post war Starscream being paranoid he's not the same person at all as he was before like a clone maybe and the fact that he can't form connections with anyone. And again in Skybound it's the gap between Ulchtar and Starscream.
"See how I laugh at you" resembles Starscream constant undermining of others to make him feel better due to his insecurities and also the fact that his whole life he was laughed at so he does it back similar to the "abuse cycle".
"No you'll never understand" right after that bit shows how nobody has been in his situation and nobody tried to understand or reach out to help him mentally without blaming him for it or even just completely brushing it off. Also highlights how nobody believes him when he tries to talk about the abuse (Hashtag did tho even said how she believes Megatron who she looked up to a bit ig hurt him, a complete 180 of what everyone else does and the fact that she is close to Megatron but isn't brushing it off says so much -nobody has mentioned this from what I've read which is weird cause it just shows how clear Starscream's PTSD is (also fuck Hasbro for taking it away from us)). Saying how he brought it upon himself and that he kept trying to usurp Megatron meant he deserved it. And again shows how he can't grow attachments cause nobody views him as a victim only a failure who deserves his punishment so they don't find reason behind his actions. Not trying to "understand" why he hurts people or in the songs case "laugh" at them because they don't see him as a product of abuse that needs to be cared for. Only a bot who's worse than Megatron ever was.
Or this version
Washing machine heart by Mitski but it's Starscream looking at Megatron being forgiven and redeemed and treating everyone else nicely.
Whilst he's called unredeemable and will never get an apology.
Like it's all I see at the 'why not me?' bits. And at the end I see it as him being in bed(berth?) and hyperventilating in desperation but also throwing something at the walls in anger.
The way it's like 'get real' is just so childish to me I can't stop giggling. I guess it's another reason to add to my Starscream is a angsty young teen list.
Also the insult is literally like teenage movie insults you can't lie.
I know everyone and their mom is posting this saying about the bitch part but I'm still going to have my say.
Little Skybound Starscream Character analysis or breakdown of SMT that I saw nobody mention. Bear with me.
So the basics are - Starscream was first Ulchtar and changes name after his friend died and his eyes also turned red. So we have that down but if you look at the words Starscream says
'My name is Starscream' but also when we learn he is still alive after his fight with soundwave he says
'Starscream that's my name' which mirrors the words when he changed his name. Also it's more of a reassurance that that truly is his name but there's nobody around so the one he's trying to convince is himself. If that's not enough he chose his name from Genvo's last words and in the picture above he is saying them again to Genvo's first words that we as readers hear. (So that gives a lot more depth and it may not seem that much but further down it does help tie some ideas together.)
Also in this scene it could be viewed as Starscream arguing against the voice he hears almost as if he doesn't remember that he had a different name before and is probably why he himself hasn't brought it up afterwards because to him it was a hallucination that got his name wrong. Or it could simply be him not wanting to remember it as he knows the last him would regret what he has turned into. But I do think he might have forgotten some things if the past at least and that may be due to Megatron but I'll do that part in a different post.
So my point is - Ulchtar and Starscream are not 'exactly' the same person they are like different points in life but instead of it being like a sequel it's more like an entire reset to the story.
Sorry if my writing is bad I'm literally a kid and tho I cook in my English writing NOW it was not without failing really badly I EVEN CHEATED MAN.
But I spotted the name thing out as I first saw it and I connected the dots and it did in fact almost make me cry but is anyone going to see this.
NOOOOO!
Animated starscream except he doesn't have his tits no more.
Did it without reference which is probably why his chest is flat (don't shame him tho)
Little prime starscream doodle cause I need to learn how to draw that mf but I guess we can make him look less like a starved cat.
What do you mean I simplified his design so I can draw him in this stupid pose like.......
The brain block be real guys. Also this gotta be my fav design for starscream like it's basically modern armada design
(Both have swords and make you cry
I swear why is it the versions that use swords that make you cry like Hasbro FREEEEE HIM)
Pure jokes of course tho
Side note- starscream is in the tags for a reason
