Every Writer On Tumblr: I Would Combust Out Of Love If Someone Ever Drew Fanart Of My Fic!!Me: Oh Man

Every writer on Tumblr: “I would combust out of love if someone ever drew fanart of my fic!!” Me: “oh man I wanna draw this scene BUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY HATE IT AND HATE ME FOR THE NERVE”

I’m so happy with how they wrote starscream in the latest ES episodes, his VA has done a magnificent job once again. Him coming to terms with how he was treated by Megatron before, him realizing he’s using intimidation as a defense as well. Does this count as a redemption arc perhaps? Maybe a little, just a tiny bit. He might come back later to cause more trouble but I’m sure he’s internally grateful for the Malto family and the Terrans. I’m sure Twitch and Hashtag left a lasting effect on him. Maybe I’m looking too much into it, idk ^-^

Hello! Could you write about Sunder and how a situation would play out where he is given the chance to be rehabilitated and out of everyone onboard it’s the shy human who really tries to be nice to him and tries to help him get better? (Gn for the human btw)

The Sunder fans came out of nowhere and I am NOT complaining. Glad to get some writing out after the hectic request day. Thanks for the request :)

Warnings: SFW, GN Human reader

Rung winces watching Sunder rub a single digit over your back. The motions of his fingers bunch and flatten out the fabric of your shirt with each massage-like movement, his face split into a grin filled with an unsettling amount of tooth. Your lax posture where you lay on the red and brown mech’s flat open palm and the–hopefully–former serial killer’s seemingly innocent focus on you are the only pieces of consolation the psychiatrist has whilst every alarm in his mind blares a warning of an imminent end to this peaceful moment that is beyond preferable. 

The progress made through therapy and reacclimation to normal interaction has been astounding. Taking one of Cybertron’s most feared into someone safe to allow leeway around any relatively normal members of society is no small feat, and certainly not miniscule when in consideration of you–as contradictory as it sounds. You’ve been monumental in Sunder’s recovery. Rung wants to assume your immediate closeness may invoke some sort of protective instinct within the former Autobot, but he hardly seems the type when referencing the unsavory things done to his brother’s frame he didn’t mind taking part in. 

Sunder’s optics and smile have turned towards Rung, and it has the effect of drawing his attention immediately from his thoughts. The smile falls a bit when it settles on him. This doesn’t surprise Rung. Throughout his stay on the Lost Light, at least the part when he’s been an invited guest, he’s been agreeable but motivated by nothing but avoiding prison again and the one organic member of the crew: you.

Many other crew members have shown an innate distaste for Sunder, bringing even the anti-organic crowd to swing to your side in hopes of removing the ex-convict from the ship. Regardless of their protests, you’ve expressed no concern over Sunder’s lingering attachment to you. Even Ultra Magnus has given up, only frowning when the topic of Sunder and you is brought up.

“Can we bring this meeting to a close? I have matters of utmost importance to attend to.” Sunder giggles, his gaze dropping to your soundly figure as he finishes speaking. 

You immediately perk up, sitting up at a speed unbecoming of your previous state. Whatever Sunder is referencing, you are well acquainted with it. 

“What would those 'matters' entail?” Rung tries. 

His voice is kept level, if only to ease his patient to tell the truth. Hopefully a truth that does not involve anything harmful, he thinks, optics following your reactions behind spectacles.

You gasp and Rung feels his spark pulse until he hears your words, “We are gonna watch Mean Girls!”

Sunder’s grin returns to its full breadth. Rung falters.

scourge: if i say i love you, will you say it back?

y/n: yes

scourge: i love you

y/n: it back

(later)

battletrap: why is scourge crying face down on the floor?

HE IS HEARTBROKEN!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!

Request for perhaps— Dinobot, Rampage, Terrorsaur, or Dinobot II falling for a cybertronian on the opposite side? (Like Preds falling for a Maximal, and vice-versa)?

Head canon or scenario is up to your choice!

Dinobot

🦖 To be honest, Dinobot has always kind of had a thing for you. His number one regret for leaving the Predacons is that he couldn't take you with him.

🦖 That doesn't mean he doesn't try to sway you of course. He knows you'd be treated at least a little bit better with the Maximals like he is. He always tried convince you of this during combat.

🦖 If he's never able to get you to switch sides he tries to put his feelings for you aside the best he can. You won't join him so you two are enemies now.

🦖 But if you do decide to switch sides he's rather joyed by your decision, not that he'll show it. He asks Primal to extend the patience he's showed him to you.

Rampage

🦀 He first lays optic on you on the battlefield and is immediately intrigued. What a cute little maximal you are. He bets your screams of terror would be extra tantalizing.

🦀 Always tries to get you into combat with him and only him because he does try to sway you to the side of the Predacons, complimenting your strength and nerve. If someone else is in the fight it's hard to get you to listen to ehat he has to say after all.

🦀 He uh... has a habit of showing up wherever you are. Usually to try and sway you again (or at least let him see you scared) but you're pretty sure it isn't a coincidence.

🦀 If he does somehow talk you into joining the Predacons he is overprotective of you, trying to keep the others from harassing or insulting you too much. He talks about getting his spark fragments back and running away with you after he slags Megatron.

Terroraur

🪶 Uuuuugh there is NO way he has feelings for a dumb little Maximal! No way! Even if you are cute and shiny and picked a flying alt! No way!

🪶 Finds himself trailing behind you on flights. It's for intel of course. He isn't hoping to get you alone to try to convince you to join the Predacons and take Megatron down and rule together!

🪶 Ok yeah he's down bad. He only admits it after a comment from Waspinator. But so what?! At least you're actually easy on the optics, unlike a lot of the others.

🪶 If he managed to talk you into joining the Predacons them he shows absolutely no shame in claiming you as his own, throwing his arms around you shoulders or grabbing you by the waist to pull you closer. He's very hands on when it comes to affection.
