"Song Of War" - Poetry For Megs

"Song of War" - Poetry for Megs

Written as a poem for Megatron to claim authorship of in one of my possibly way too many stories. I'm working on a Cybertronian translation to then sing and turn it into an alien song \o/ we'll see how that turns out. If it sucks, I ain't posting it sorry XD

“Song of War”

Oh, the tonal Sound

that reaches ever deep;

across the mires of Death’s decay,

and through the inner guard;

I hear your call, old friend;

once more we sound the beat,

and rev the engines loud;

the chorus to your Song;

Oh, the tonal Sound

the same in victory or defeat;

the difference only stemming,

from who listens and who Sings

I hear your call, my friend;

the sound of war and grief;

and never I shall ever hear,

a Song so bittersweet.

Oh, the tonal Sound

that haunts and clings and seeps,

of Sparks' harmonics ended,

Songs of War, made from their notes.

Oh, truly am I wretched

for I love to hear the Song

that reaches ever deep;

across the mire’s of Death’s decay,

and through the inner guard.

Gladiators of Kaon - Word Art excerpt

I have way too much fun writing Soundwave. He's such an interesting character.

Anyhow, I tried a thing and I was deeply entertained by it, so like the toddler I am inside I'm shoving it onto my blog to show off

*waves screenshot around and chews on a crayon*

(text transcription below the cut, though the cool part I wanted to show off is just that they're formatted like his face screen display)

Soundwave: asked to deliver communications in readable format.

Communications: 

There’s a pause. A pause long enough you have to wait for the next series of words to appear, and you can’t tell if he’s just taking that long to prepare it or if he has some other reason to hang up--

His screen goes blank, then new text appears, utterly filling his screen as you raise your optic ridges, and start reading.

Holy scrap.

Your cooling fans kick up a few notches, probably loud enough to draw attention, but no-one comments as you cover your mouth with a hand, speechless.

Rumble: says Lightshow is as nice as she is pretty. Rumble: has promised not to cause seismic tremors when Lightshow is present, out of consideration for Lightshow’s sensitive circuitry. Soundwave: highly doubts but is hopeful. Frenzy: says Lightshow is the coolest mech he’s met outside 

of the arena. Frenzy: says Lightshow

should accept job posting.

Personal addendum:

Apology: Issued.

Symbiotes: very

exciteable and

assertive.

Swindle: says

“Be back soon,

Mom.”

Soundwave:

Thinks Swindle

Is teasing.

Mostly.

HAMMER TIME

(if you don't want to see my personal posts, my tag for then is "Dat Rambles")

Okay

OKAY

So this is me shamelessly talking like a first grader who just got handed money to buy whatever the hecc they want in a candy store

This hammer

THIS. HAMMER. (Continued below cut)

Is the draw hammer i learned to forge my first blades with by my friend and mentor who has been teaching me his blacksmithing skills and i can't even tell you how much it feeds my silly little soul to now possess it.

Especially since i was unable to find one just like it; i am so excited to start my forge up in the nearer future. I have a lot to do yet tho set up my workshop and continue working on my body's physical condition so I'll be ABLE to do smithing

Anyhow

Yeah

I just wanted to squeal about this because it's kind of a huge life moment for me. Actually no not kind of, it just plain is. I'm very, very happy and excited and holy heck I've wanted this for so long and now i have everything i need to start my own blades and armor workshop space and AAAAAAAAAAAAAH

There was also something very sweet and get soothing; while I knew i would be getting the hanger this week, i managed to completely forget about i for several days after much eagerness ensuring the delivery would happen.

i found one of my Mjolnir necklaces the night prior, and then my mom came home telling her sorry of the week and showing pictures and telling me how their drive home was very blessed because they drive in the eye of a very, very big bad storm system most the way home and had a perfectly safe drive and even saw the coolest super low to Earth Rainbow. Then she plopped the hammer in my hands.

Anyhow yeah it felt like a very important piece of my life taking into place alongside other pieces and i just feel like I'm exactly where i want and need to be right now.

Poll: Gladiators of Kaon

The winning poll hope may or may not actually be the idea i go with, but this will help me brainstorm which ideas would be best received

I have drawing ideas for all of these alt modes 😆

aaaaAAAA: Author Struggle Bus

(If you don't want to see my personal posts, my tag for these is "#dat rambles")

Not me pulling at my hair smacking my forehead on the desk because I am well into the next chapters of Gladiators of Kaon; and I am unsure if my representations of the Precious Beans are accurate enough because confession I haven't actually watched all of G1 yet I've seen like 1 episode and a half and then I got distracted writing fanfiction and reading o o p s but the story floooooows

(author ramblings continue after the cut)

and now here I am with many chapters and it's adorable and I love it but also p a n i c because it's my first time writing them. I hope ya'll don't have specific expectations for characters because OPE I SORRY I AM JUST WRITING WHAT I SEE. And reading a lot of wiki pages. (Whoever does the captiosn for images on that site, oh my goodness, they are SO WITTY. I LOVE IT. Sarcasm, puns, sattire, my sides are hurting from how much i've laughed while reading up on transformers i've never actually heard of or met before and researching lore ideas to yoink for the world building of this story's universe and setting)

I have read a stupid amount of wiki pages.

still though

it's like

my favorite chapter rn because ADORABLE SPARKLINGS UGH EEEEEEE and it's so friggin' cute I can't stand it (comfy chair and blanket acquired, one parrot loose and one happily eating noms \o/). I hope it goes over well but if not oh well

writing Soundwave when he's not in Perfect Composure Mode is an entertaining and endearing experience.

CHAPTER DROP: Leaking Spark, ch 7
