...comparing the Bumblebees, one is much creepier than the others. Bee should not be creepy. Why u do this, Bay.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god, this was ADORABLE, holy crap. I'm so freshly excited about these characters now!!! okay but where is the lie XD This file title is appropriate, because I'm pretty sure anticipatory robot lust is how I spend 90% of my life these days
Continuing from that though. Cyclonus who slowly falls in love with a primus damned eldritch horror. How did this happen, he asks himself. Whirl would laugh his aft off. No one must know. (spoiler: everyone knows)
no the feels why do i even have these feels about robots whose side of the story i haven't read yet i have ideas for fanfic and they are probably extremely inaccurate (also the horrorterror!tailgate fic is excellent and the singing)
Also I finally ready your other tf fics and WOW. That djd fic was fucked up and I'm going to have to reread it sometime, windblade and starscream spades were great (though I'm curious about the etymology for Aemula specifically) and starscream thinking that literally everyone is a schemy plotter...
Aemula (Latin) (1): Noun (feminine): female rival; one who strives to equal or exceed; rival city; rival in love (2): Adjective: envious, jealous, grudging; (things) comparable/equal to (source) Strikes me as particularly applicable to kismessitude, especially if Camien mechs are all ladies for what the noun-gendering refrance this has been your weekly visit from the linguistics nerd
Spoiler: Aemula I am a writer of simple needs in possession of very few fucks to give when it comes to translation, sometimes :P Starscream's inability to turn off his suspicious brain and follow the plot for two seconds is half the challenge of writing him
...and just above you will see a good instance of "reading too much into word choice, the author seriously didn't care that much" :P At least Google guessed appropriately?
I checked it using Wiktionary and I've taken a smidge of Latin before, but yeah part from that I was like "sounds like amica? Means rival and not Google fucking with me? Good, you're spades quad now" XD
Spoiler: TAAO: Revolution 1 I like that Optimus is vaguely acknowledging that being a Prime is not a strict source of trustworthiness. I like that Windblade is calling Optimus out on his hypocrisy. And then the conflict between her principles and her morals. Optimus is right in that Primes are a bad thing to have around. Unfortunately, Optimus Prime is still a Prime.
Spoiler: TAAO: Revolution 1 This is a really cool page except for Windblade's tits. Sorry not sorry. This is why, if you're gonna do robotiddy, you should just make it a mechanical chest projection. This is just... absurd.
Questionnnnn, if I were to, hypothetically, take a stab at Whirl/First Aid medic AU things for NaNo, can anyone see a clean plot arc with a satisfying climax? Because I'm kind of not seeing it :T I think this is more suited to be a vignette-y thing switching between altered canon plot points and independent character development. There isn't much plot BETWEEN them besides the slow burn romance, but there's enough plot happening AROUND them that I don't think romance alone will be a strong enough main thread for the story. So I'm thinking this is probably going to come to nothing for NaNo, but I figured I'd poke my head in here just to see if anyone had any other ideas.
Spoiler: Revolution 03 Optimus you stupid fucker. EDIT: Spoiler: Revolution 03 You're not forgiven yet, Scarlet, but this is a damn good start. Get Kup out of there and I might even like you.
I actually think Bay!Bee is cute the tinyization just didn't help the not looking like the others factor.
