Pretty Poison - Blog Posts

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)

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

Sometimes I feel like Starscream has a large piece of his mind or processor missing.

Cause I genuinely think that the lack of knowledge, to certain concepts that are so basic, that he shows is concerning. I feel like somethings just blocking that side of his processor causing him to be an absolute idiot.

Like same Starscream, but man that's not how it works.

I really want to dissect him basically.

4th wall starscream scenes

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!!!!"

That one meme video but Starscream multiverse

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!!!!"

Haha capcut can't be that hard I say with joys

I was then shot 57 times

I really should have watched a video or anything but nah I had a will and Starscream to guide me. But I'll post it for shits anyway and later lament on my humiliation of my first edit. No there is not a read more to hide my humiliation, I'm not a coward I say to myself.

I don't even know the song I just had an audio for it.

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.

Me explaining Armada Starscream and Megatron being the biggest version of how they are like a father and son but obviously abusive.

My Dad: They should get married.

Me: Did you not hear what I said. First of all I was saying how Megatron is like an abusive adoptive father. And it's really abusive. What?

Dad: Yeah they should get married and kiss.

Me in utter horror trying to change the subject away: So you know Soundwave he's my second favouri---

Dad: He's their son whose spoilt.

And I'm currently choking on air and I tried changing the subject again: You know Starscream has heels

Dad: No he doesn't

And then I show him and he goes: So he is definitely the wife. -or SMT

So yeah my dad ships megastar or megstar idk and somewhere in the relationship he did agree with it being toxic but ig he likes it. But he also calls them both chickens.

I don't agree with this the only time I interact with the ship is if Starscream looks really nice in the drawing which is unfortunately a lot cause ppl draw too good to not like

Some multiverse crossover between Skybound and SG

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

We as a society don't talk about Starscream calling cliffjumper papa in that one G1 episode enough.

Heck I'll even try to learn how to write a story out of this.

Short as hell dad and their tall ass son is my new favourite trope now.

Not even a trope I'm making this up with 4h sleep all week so I'll probably make a crack meme of this. If I remember. I'll probably not even remember writing this. (By not even a trope I just mean not exactly common in media and if it is they are like background characters not in rl)

Homophobic!!? Nah I'm homosexual

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

Starscream trying to redeem himself song

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.

4th Wall breaking Starscream moments would be hilarious PT.2

Soundwave and Starscream are just standing side by side in the nemesis whilst Megatron is talking about a new plan to destroy the autobots.

Starscream to us: Now you want to know why Soundy is standing right next to me. And no it's not cause we are supposed to. Listen hear and don't tell anyone I told you this or otherwise I'll be banned from the 4th wall. This guy right here can read minds but only at a close proximity like we are in now. See the producers have never made it clear, those lazy afts, I really hate their fleshy guts.

And then you slowly see Soundwave facing Starscream with absolute horror.

And after a whole minute Starscream goes: Wait if he can read minds. And I just broke the 4th wall. And the scene didn't pause. And he's standing right next to me. And he always reads my mind that means. Oh frag.

But during this part the scene did freeze so Soundwave didn't hear that part. Starscream is hyperventilating worried he'll be experimented with.

Soundwave is concerned. Cause he thinks starscream has gone full schizophrenic mode and not half anymore.

I feel like Starscream should be given a 4th wall breaking ability

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 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)

Reasoning on why Starscream is quite literally an angry murderous teenager (to me, it's like a head cannon/theory)

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 was thinking about people and this popped in my head and I was like you know what. He would, he so would say this. Especially to Megatron

And he's so right to.

Don't know if this is already a quote but yeah 👍

Starscream kicking ravage in Skybound-

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.

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)

I lied I couldn't find a way to add the primes (yet tho DW) and I didn't feel like doing TC and SW yet so more shockwave content. Part of the au in previous posts. The next post of the au is going to be with soundwave to match with this (it will give more information).

So yeah my reason that empurata isn't a thing is that he's younger here and also the council isn't able to do that also it doesn't exist. That's why I kept some similarities to his usual face with the colours and soundwave.

My plan is to post some intros and lore of this au for a bit and then I'll stop so I can practice drawing so I can give more content and also maybe writing.

Thanks for the 250 likes. This is the little idea I've been having for a while. Skybound starscream my beloved they could never make me hate you (annoyed most definitely tho).

The words are inspired by the song below cause I thought it really fits this version of them.

First time drawing Megatron and I swear he's just ugly like that not because of my drawing. Anyway I'm trying to find references to continue more work but it's proving to be difficult.

Hopefully I'll find a way to turn this into a video or digital.

little piece of a little project that I'm finishing up. I predicted so much in Skybound about starscream like how he really was innocent and ig that doesn't seem like much but I also said he wouldn't even hurt a bug and guess what it was a major thing in his backstory. I also knew that Megatron had somehow forced him to kill didn't know exactly but yeah it would be an innocent or against codes. And guess what again, it happens. So I'm predicting a redemption arc (I'm coping okay) that he gets some crazy bpd as Megatron's hold on his mind gets erased or whatever that was and you have ulchtar and starscream and ulchtar wins or smt and starscream gets to see how the world actually works and happily ever after and ain't nobody going to see this.

Important news there was a song in my head but I forgot it and it kept me up at night cause I was imagining star dancing to it. Mourn. Edit : I found it

Posted this before but I only just realised it wasn't put up so here we go ig. No new content cause I just had a test but I'll try to add either some primes or TC and SW to the au.

For now I'll post some old art like this one tho I might make four more drawings.

this is hopefully gonna be art that's a part of my au but either way it's baby starscream.

When I tell you I barely draw digitally especially since I'm using the ultimate combo of finger and a phone but I wanted to try.

I do in fact have a scene that's playing in my head for this drawing but I don't know how to get it out you know.

I'll probably post some old art or smt for a little bit.

Thanks so much for 100+ likes so here's a starscream page I finished. Prime looks ugly AF as I choose a really bad picture but there's nothing we can do and only as I'm posting this I realised that the cyberverse pic I chose for a reference was edited from the OG as I don't think they have pupils.

Shockwave and soundwave are now added to my au (check out the other post if you've only seen this one pls)

This is surprisingly my first time drawing bots that aren't Starscream even though soundwave is my second favourite.

This took longer to post especially due to it being the work day's but I still got it done 👍🏻.

On the last drawings I tried to at least make it look like there are flames near them with the orange and red but that could use extra work.

I'm trying to see what design I should stick with cause there'll be changes from the original designs.

Thanks for the 24 likes on the last post did even better than the previous one.

I have more to give on Shockwave and Soundwave but that may not be the next post.
