:3c please do regale us with your sexy piercing headcanons (inexplicably I want like... Rung, or someone unexpected to have one)
Spoiler: MTMTE reread 3 I am intrigued that all of these are highly magnetic metals (albeit antiferric in chrome's case)... how does magnetism interfere with Cybertronian biology? Does the Sparkeater utilize electromagnets somehow to fuck with their brain modules? (That makes... almost no sense, but then comic book monsters rarely make sense.) Everyone's ordered to evac to quarters, and Chromedome... fiddles with his hands. Hmmmmmm. [squinty suspicious eyes] oh SHIT babby was displaying symptoms of cybercrosis from the very start D: and no one questioned 'cause he'd been shut down for so long and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah SNEAKY, SNEAKY WRITERS "One: are we saying he vomited up his own brain? Two: can I go home now?" Rewind is precious forever Oh. Oh I forgot Chromey came on this mission, no wonder he was playing with his needles earlier D: Rewind is not gonna be happy with that. "Can you put his brain back in his head? With corpses, I prefer to go through the eye sockets." "I cannot begin to tell you what's wrong with that sentence." [cackling] "What's he doing?" "Something stupid." Yeaaaaaaah, Rewind's not happy. Hoo boy. Okay, so this is Tailgate half-transformed. What does he turn into? Some kind of small car? ...tiny Japanese smartcar Tailgate tho. [Re: some green tank-type 'bot giving Cyclonus the stink-eye for... carrying Tailgate? Tailgate wanting to room with Cy? Cy being on the ship in general?] "What are you looking at? =_=" protective instincts activate Oh look, I finally found one of the three panels I was looking for. [is {totally} not making TextsFromLostLight edits, of course not] "My nickname at the Academy was 'Shut The Hell Up'." :c sweeeeeeerve Even though Rewind wasn't happy about the mnemosurgery, he's still Right There as soon as backlash even starts happening :'D precious robot husbands "I'm already in trouble for lying to get onto the ethics committee!" In addition to being hilarious, this is also kind of intriguing. Who was Animus, and why did he want to get on the EC? (Also, why was his spark green when it got eaten, when all the Sparkeater's hoarded sparks are blue? ...hidden .01-percenter? Gratuitous Heroic Crotch-Shot: Robot Edition Also, Rung is canonically 90% hidden compartments and improbable holes, why wouldn't he have piercings somewhere?
GOD RIGHT that's part of why I had to share it because that piercing kink r u i n e d me. RUINED ME. I HAVE A MASSIVE PROJECT I SHOULD EB DOING BUT [gestures longingly at valve piercing]
I don't have much in the way of definite piercing headcanons, I could probably get behind most of the cast having them. It's an extension of my multishipping ways, I have an awful time committing to just one headcanon for anything at all :P THAT SAID, some of the things I especially want to see: Tailgate with a delicate little node piercing. Tailgate with a delicate little node piercing. Tarn pierced to hell and back, because I'm still not over that Tarn/Deathsaurus fic Rodimus with one big flashy piercing for his valve, one big flashy piercing for his spike (maybe an apadravya?) Whirl with mmmmaybe like a set of the valve equivalent of labia piercings, but he's spent so long avoiding hooking up with anyone and not self-servicing that he's practically forgotten they're even there. Rung with a quiet little guiche piercing that nobody ever expects (adjusting for the presence of a valve and lack of scrotum, though) Somebody needs a ladder. I don't know who, but somebody needs a full ladder (Ten no no, I kid) Chromedome with, hmm. Some kind of valve piercing that feels especially good for someone penetrating him. I want to say a fourchette might work well for that, but I don't know enough about piercings and I'm too lazy to do research. Brainstorm with two delicate little studs embedded just off the top left and top right of his valve Just a story about Starscream wanting to get a piercing of some kind, but not trusting anyone enough to let them near his bits, and then getting all mopey and self-pitying, because who's ever going to hook up with him anyways? I want all the mopey Starscream. (bonus: once you're super drunk piercings sound like a much better idea and totally something you can do on your own, but by the power of alien robothood and fanfiction, this goes much better than anyone had any right to expect and turns out super sexy. see: windblade/blurr/wheeljack, I'd be happy with any of 'em)
Weren't you the one that wrote that Rodimus piercing kink fic? (I volunteer Ultra Magnus for the full ladder.)
I was! And now I'm trying to figure out how many piercing stories in a row I can get away with without being too repetitive, hahaha. I mostly kid, I don't have any other particular stories ideas that are pinging me where piercings fit well (though... drift/percy with a "collar" made of studs through his neck cables? hm. HMM.) but I really want to write something with an extravagant amount of valve piercings that's also super hot. OH HEY, maybe that can be chastity devices! Not quite the same lock setup as Tarn had, but something similar, with a different dynamic driving it. HMMMMMMMMMMM. #whirlgate with robot nipple piercings for whirl #darn it i need to clean my apartment not write robot porn aaaaaaaaaaa
Oh shoot, I forgot to reply to half your post. Oh my god, YES, for Ultra Magnus and the ladder. He got the piercing, and then he was too bad at connecting with other people to actually ever use it :C Virgin-with-ridiculously-overblown-piercing sex is a go. Maybe with Megatron, hmmmm. Shoot, I should not have said the things I said about not having ideas pinging me. Since I wrote that one sentence, like two minutes ago, I've come up with four separate ideas that I want to write right this moment, gahhhh
Okay but what if. What if, in the vein of 'fuck this very justified fear of needles, I am going to Power Through It because I am Strong' prideful fronting-- what if Megatron getting super into piercings. (Rung crying in the background because jumping into the deep end is not how you exposure therapy, but-- well, if it's working for you...)
Getting a delicate pattern of studs right through the back of his neck to deal with his fear of mnemosurgery :') Spoiler: large picture
Spoiler: reread liveblog 4 "Either it's very far away, or you've invented the world's smallest drink." Why is every line that comes out of Ratchet's mouth gold? "Jackpot's only here because he lost a bet[...]" I know it's improbable, but it would be kind of hilarious if Jackpot's alt-mode were like. A slot machine, or a roulette wheel. D: "You should surrender to impulse more often." R: "Drift-- trust me-- you don't want me to do that." Because he would spend all his time facepalming and bopping idiots instead of doctor-ing. Also, I am starting to ship it spades a little. "You scared, Drift?" "I'm sorry, am I what?" Yeah okay I can see the spades. Throw me into Dratchet hell, hello y'all, how's the weather down here? "Oh, Primus. I think I'm covered in dead people." "That cross on the wall? The one you just ignored? It's the universal plague symbol. It means 'stay the hell away' in a billion languages. It does not mean 'ram-raid a morgue'!" Poor Ratchet. Why does no one ever listen to you? "He was going to attack Pipes!" "He was moving at two miles an hour!" Boys, boys. Stop hateflirting on the job, go hunt zombies and find Ratchet's creepy ex. Ooooooh, ooh oh oh I forgot Cy's freakout was this chapter. Oh man. He is so not okay, and neither is watching Tailgate get the shit beaten out of him. For all the jokes about Ratchet's (lack of) bedside manner, this shot is making me Feel Things. FORT MAX'S BADASS ENTRANCE, YAAAAAAAAAA BEST CLIFFHANGER Last liveblog for the night, I'm cutting myself off from the desktop in an attempt to get to bed at a more normal hour :P Tabbing back and forth is too much a pain on mobile, so hopefully I'll only be in here to scream about robot piercings and whatever else comes up.
I feel like Drift might have some sort of piercing from his Decepticon days that he never got around to removing, even though it's probably super embarassing
Ooh, I like this a lot!! Maybe I could try the valve-piercing-chastity device thing with him, do a scene where he recontextualizes the emotions connected to the piercings and makes new memories about them with people from the present instead of leftover Decepticon memories from his past. Hm, that could be a Wing fic, but coming up with Drift/Wing ideas is super easy. Maybe that would be a fun one for Rodimus? Rodimus seems like the sort to be like SCREW THOSE OLD MEMORIES TIME TO OVERWRITE, CHOP CHOP. Or it would be a good excuse for surprise tenderness in pitch dratchet, working through those old loaded emotions with someone who understands how old regrets can really build up inside of you. (gahhhhh all this talk is so good for inspiration, so bad for productive apartment cleaning! I'm so distracted and I just want to roll around in robot piercings forever) And not quite the same thing, but Enfilade's dratchet series had his rebuild in new crystal city even include a shiny new set of junk! Which lead to one of my favorite pseudo-virginity sex scene moments, it was super adorable.
...in retrospect, I think the only thing keeping me from shipping Dratchet on my first read-through was not being able to tell them (or First Aid, Pharma, or Prowl) apart. I realize having all the medbots (and a cop) be red-and-white is nice color association for human readers, but... so many big red-and-white bots. For the record, I still have issues identifying any blue-and-white bot who's not Optimus Prime. (If drift piercing fic becomes a thing, I totally vote pitch Dratchet, just because A) new ship and B) there is not enough discussion of pitch boundaries in homestuck fanfic, and I'm a sucker for "I want to challenge you, not ruin you"-flavored blackrom with possessive/protective toppings.)
I know have the desperate need for Starscream trying to contract Swindle into hiring someone for him while drunk and Swindle being like Goddamn I love money, but Primus damned I don't want Starscream and Blurr pissed off at me and contacts Blurr and something something Starscream gets his piercing and hot sex from Swindle and Blurr.
Talk of Starscream always reminds me of my old 'crack' theory/fanon/au fodder that the functionalist and/or Nova Prima had suppressed all knowledge of Cybertronians' being able to carry new sparks/create frame internally except for some elite few and any sparklings found were 'confiscated' and shoved into adult frames.
There is no way using ur brain-needles to give yourself piercings in various nsfw places is robot-sanitary. Dammit CD...
Double post: oh god, what if Chromedome actually did that, and Tailgate got wind of it "Cyclonus! I still have those needle fingers from Getaway lying around right? Just wait until you hear what Chromedome told me you can use them for-" "Tailgate, no."
Oh no, what if he gave himself the robot version of nipple piercings like that? Like, pierced the bottom corners of chest plate and put in something dangly and shiny. "Hey Cyclonus check it out look what I did." (whirl thinks it is both awesome and hot)
