Entro

Short for Entropy - They/Them

Quick stuff about me:

I'm still figuring out how Tumblr works, I'm a slow learner with that kind of thing.

I draw a lot, and I’m an aspiring writer (of various forms of media). Sometimes I’ll post what I’m working on here.

Right now I’m super Transformers pilled, but I also have other interests that change with time.

I also really like superheroes. Like, really like superheroes. That's like my favorite thing in the world.

I’d like to keep my blog/account friendly and safe. I’m ok with mature topics, but only if everyone is respectful and understanding about it. So basically, 16+ to 18+. If anything on my blog makes you uncomfy, go do something else, respectfully.

Anyhow, I’ll refine this post with time. Just a lil introduction to who I am! Idk who's really reading this, but who cares! I get to yap :D

Feel free to ask my anything in the "Ask Entro Anything" button thing.

Please do not repost, trace, and/or distribute my art (or other works) without written permission and proper credit. And do NOT feed it to AI. Big no no.

Me when I can only find like three pieces of fanart for a ship so I make my own

So for context, these are Riley and Chase, the green and black rangers respectively from Power Rangers Dino Charge. I haven’t watched the series since its release years ago, but it’s always been one of my favorites so I went to rewatch it the other day. And in like episode four or five or something I got hit with such strong ✨vibes✨ from Riley, and I couldn’t tell if it was me thinking it was the character or the actor. So I went to look up the character (Dino charge Riley) and was imediatly hit with an autofill: Dino charge Riley x Chase

Lemme tell you the relief of realizing that I wasn’t the only one who thought that. I eventually found on the fandom wiki that the actor had interpreted Riley’s character to be gay, and had a thing for Chase. While it isn’t cannon to the show at least, it was super cool for me at least to see that the actor had intended for Riley to feel subtly queer. Probably helped paved the way for Izzy, the green ranger of Dino Fury/Cosmic Fury, to canonically had a girlfriend/be in a same-sex couple (which was also so funny to me because I thought her brother, THAT season’s black ranger, would be the queer one)

Oh man I drew him again. This is Tag, aka Gunmetal, a Transformers OC of mine

Since I yapped about him a lot in the last post (that was yesterday? idk don't plan for me to post regularly), I'll put in a slightly cleaned up version of my notes of his and Prowl's relationship. This would probably be set early into whatever narrative Tag is a part of, but after he's been forced to graduate and actually become a police rookie. By this point, Tag and Prowl have gotten to know each other more and have fallen into a rhythm when working together.

Tag hated Prowl from the moment they met, he could never admit that Prowl has started to grow on him. He won't respect his authority and his ordering Tag around, and he won't appreciate his talent in detective work. Everything Prowl does makes Tag angry. It's even worse that half the cops in the precinct think that Tag is a min-Prowl. They're so fundamentally different, how could the others even think that?! Prowl is such a wheeljack-ass (my attempt at a Cybertronian version of curse words lmao. no hate to Wheeljack the character), at least Tag isn't actively a glitch to everyone for no reason. Either way, even if Tag doesn't find Prowl as unbearable as he used to, he won't admit it, even to himself.

Prowl is well-aware that when they both shut up and get to work, that he and "Tag" make an efficient and capable pair. They work so fluidly, as if they were extensions of each-other. Jazz likes to joke, saying that Tag is a mini-Prowl, and he sees it. His brash nature yet natural skill, Prowl understands that it's like looking in a mirror. Sort of. The kid still has these unrealistic dreams of being an artist. On Cybertron? What use does that serve to society? If he doesn't stick to his function, then what use is he to Cybertron as a whole. Prowl telling himself this makes it a bit easier (as if it was really hard for him to begin with, Prowl is a prick after all) when he goes to Chromedome to ask for a favor. He wants to be a nmeosurgeon, why not get some practice. Get some info out of Tag that will help them with taking control of Iacon's underside.

Oh man I still yapped a lot, my bad gang. I'm bad at not talking too much.

Also I want to specify, Prowl and Tag are not meant to be a couple or shipped in any way. If anything, all the other characters in Tag's life are different variations of parental/mentor figure or sibling figure or coworker figure, etc. Tag and Prowl's relationship is more like... I'm struggling to find an example so I'll just explain it.

Basically: Prowl doesn't like Tag, really at all. He can appreciate Tag's skill in different aspects of police work, but the kid could be gone tomorrow and Prowl wouldn't really care (Tag is the same). All this, except because of Tag's knowledge of the under streets of Iacon and the more legally dubious actions of the bots living there, weather they just be avoiding their functions (jobs) or committing crimes, Prowl feels Tag might be useful to him.

Prowl realizes that if he stops being a completely dickish mentor to Tag, that maybe he can convince the kid to act the way he's supposed to. And along the way, he can get into Tag's mind and pull out all the information that he needs to get Iacon running completely smoothly from top to bottom. Force the kid to turn on the people he wants to help without his even realizing it. So while Prowl is still a prick, he's pivoted from wanting Tag to just shut up and do his job to "maybe I could benefit from this" and acts a bit nicer. He mainly has Chromedome and Jazz do the "be nicer" part though.

My interpretation of Prowl, for this universe, is that he's obsessed with making Cybertron as lawful and orderly as he can, but not in a fun "I want to help everyone and destroy everything evil!" sort of way. More in a "Everyone needs to do what they were forged or constructed to do, because that is the only way Cybertron can function to it's maximum efficiency. If everyone acts like a gear, then the machine of Cybertron continues to work. If someone doesn't function the way they were designed to or are missing all together, then they need to either be put back in their place or demolished completely."

They hate eachother ! :D

I stayed up till midnight writing a backstory for this guy

So this is Gunmetal, but he’s more widely known as Tag. He’s a younger Cybertronian who’s alt mode is a car that can change between hovering and driving on wheels. He’s a police rookie, but he would rather do anything else than be a cop.

After deliberately flunking whatever cop academy he was put into, and being forced to graduate and then continuing to skip work to instead vandalize the streets with spray-paint (hence the name Tag, as in graffiti tagging), he was assigned a senior officer to supervise him basically all the time and make sure he was showing up to work and not doing illegal shit. This lucky senior officer happened to be a pre-Autobots-and-Decepticons Prowl. Neither were happy about the situation.

The two clashed a lot early on, with Tag wanting nothing more than to leave and create art and help those under the streets of Central Iacon, the two found their groove eventually. Thanks to Prowl's high processing abilities and Tag's flexibility with where he can go with his alt mode and his more intimate knowledge of the underside of Iacon, the two become an efficient unit. While Prowl does most of the detective work, he acts as an eye in the sky for when a suspect runs, guiding informing Tag of variables he can't see yet as he chases the suspect down and arrests them. In return, Prowl is a bit less of a prick to Tag than he thinks he should be. He's still a prick though.

While being stuck with Prowl, Tag meets Jazz and Chromedome (and more) and finds he gets along with them rather well. Jazz is a musician, a fellow artist, so they talk about that and fine community in a society that doesn't value the arts as it should. With Chromedome, the two bond over wanting to not be cops and follow their hearts to do what they want to do, but being forced to stick with police work thanks to Cybertron's functionist ways.

I'm lowkey obsessed with this guy, I've already written like 3k words about him in a notes doc. He's my angsty, rebellious, artistic little boy, and I love him for that.

In terms of his visual design, I'm still working out colors. I like the idea of him being mostly grays (hence the name gunmetal, as in gunmetal gray), but in the drawing he looks more white than anything. I like the purple, but I think I'd want to add another accent color. Idk, I'm still working it out.

He's an average sized bot, if not a little shorter thanks to his younger age. He's got a basic car shape, so I'd imagine him being pretty close to Sideswipe's or Prowl's general shape. He's not really meant to stand out on his own, so I tried to keep his design as generic TF as I could while still being unique.

Also btw this universe is probably separate from the one with Wildspark. I just finished reading IDW's More Than Meets The Eye, so its some sort of AU of that universe. I've still got to read IDW Robots In Disguise (and the rest of IDW TF, I've got a list of comics) to flesh him out more though.

First post oh wow

I haven’t drawn transformers in a while now, but I’m getting back into the flow of it because a friend has revived my obsession.

This is one of my TF OCs, Wildspark. She’s a silly lil motorcycle racer with amnesia on Earth. She’s not a bot, but also not a con. Unaligned, if you will. For some reason, her spine is just — exposed. I don’t know why, but I think it looks neat (:
