Masterposts:

- Smokescreen in the Lead AU

- Left behind (to be made….)

- Void Gang (also to be made………..)

- Bygones be Bybones (listen I’ll make em eventually.)

- Dynaton (I will..)

Smokescreen probably likely favorites Sideswipe more than Strongarm since Sideswipe reminds him when he was younger as Strongarm knows about this but still hurt that the favoritism while Sideswipe is unaware about all of this and just happy to be praised by someone that he probably looks up to

Haha, well… i guess the next update has a tiny itty bitty of that, but I do want to touch on something similar i want to do at another point

I’m thinking that scene in maybe episode 2-4, when strongarms figuring herself out with the laws and stuff, and at the end of the episode her and bumblebee sit on the top of the statue and literally do nothinggg!! He says something like “hey you didn’t follow the rules” and she just goes “yeah….” And something minor but thats it!!!! I genuinely thought the two would have a deeper conversation there or something but anyway BACK TO MY POINT

(Either there or somewhere else i unno)

I don’t think smokescreen would favourite sideswipe, I think sideswipe would just need more help adjusting to being part of a team. Like when smokescreen first joined team prime, he tried to connect with the other bots like… straight away. Tried helping bulkhead, tried cracking a few jokes, etc. So when you have a rookie who’s lived his life solo fearing the idea of having some sort of connection with people (denying how much he wants that) VS the rookie who’s been trained in the guard to work as a team and is adjusting very well with this new group, he’s bound to take more of a priority with sideswipe.

He trusts strongarm and knows strongarm can trust him, and trust is a where team first starts. So he’s probably bound to try gain sideswipes trust in little ways first to help him ease into the team.

That s probably not what it looks like in strongarms eyes though

In strongarms eyes, smokescreen out having fun and games with a criminal instead of taking things seriously. Leaving her to do work and feel less important. Cause smokescreen maybe didn’t realize how hard-core she was about their mission on earth. Dont’ know how I’ll show that just yet, but maybe they bring try to bring strongarm along on their next racing run haha

So yeah I’d want to explore something like that. (I mean I could probably include it somewhere in a “sideswipe first meets smokescreen backstory” because gosh dang bumblebee in the first episode already knew who sideswipe was and I wanted to know how it happened, could be sweet in the whole trust thing like implying sideswipe already starting trusting smokescreen more than most bots, and that’s why he’s pretty chill about this whole thing or something—)

Haha ok guys and now how do you leave this place again?

Haha

NEW COMMISSION SHEET GO!!!

Been so long that I dont even remember when I made the last one haha, so figured it was time for an update!

Commissions would help me out a whole lot on my end, so thanks in advance and I’m open to clarifying and answering any questions!

Feel free to find so extra details on my carrd!

Sketched this out a while back and decided to finish it today haha

if it were the case that you attack the thing ya hate most, I think smokescreen would attack himself BUT not exactly for the reason your thinking

a lot of the time the things you hate and the things you get mad at are things you don’t/can’t understand. And understanding the other side is a hard thing to do, especially if it’s something completely opposite of you like in megatrons case of murdering millions of innocents. That ain’t really something you can understand yourself doing so it confuses you and so you back away and end up just being frustrated and angry at him. Frankly the healthier option here is the acceptance option, where if you can’t understand you accept and hope for better or simply compromise in some way, something like that.

I’ll get back to the acceptance thing in a sec BUT

In smokescreens case, I think he’s able to understand the other side more. While sure he doesn’t have to agree with it, but he understands it, knowing why Megatron made the actions he did and moving on from there or something. He’s able to put himself in lots of other shoes where most others can’t bring themselves to. Why I think this distinction is important is because i think he probably has much less understanding of himself. Hoping he’ll be something in the future(destiny) rather than simply “a mech existing~” and whatnot. If that makes sense. So he’s confused about himself more than he is about others, which I feel like would lead to a similar line of processing as hate and anger and etc etc

in comparison the acceptance route I think is more like Optimus, where he’d be like smokescreen where he’d be more likely to attack himself, but he doesn’t need to understand something to care in some way for it. Probably just comes with experience/older wisdom years that smokescreen don’t got yet. But it means sure he can feel guilty and sad and mad at himself sometimes, but he… I unno how to say it…. Cares for himself as much as he would anyone else(with a little leeway).

so Optimus accepts faults and moves forward

and smokescreen can accept faults by ‘moving forward by trying to understand the individual’

Nemesis Speedrun!!!!! RAUUUGGHHH!!!
