I never asked for any of this

Send me ✏️ for a shitty little scribble of your muse

Sparkthief and Catfish were very excited about the fire.

Soundwave himself is less so.

it's hard to read the old glyphs sometimes and we all get confused with declensions and suffixes, except Ravi

but I like little creatures - I married one

and now I have all of these sparklings-- I would not want to live in a place without odd noises and messes I don't think I made

He can not help this.

Wiggle. Wiggle.

POUNCE!

Sparkthief pops out of the vent to LEAP for MamaWave.

Gifts? "Did you tell everyone else they were supposed to give me presents?"

Soundwave's face purples slightly; he doesn't wear a mask inside the suite, although the visor's always on outside of his room, because it blocks out more than just unwanted light.

She pauses to think for a moment. "Well, Jazz is my carrier. Obviously, cybertronians can carry regardless of gender but only human women can carry. Hence, Mother equals Carrier. So Jazz gets Mother's Day even if he is a male parent."

"As for Ravi, she's not my Sire or Carrier, but she's still one of my parents. I think of her like a step-mom, so mothers Day it is."

He shrugs. "I know Jazz was your carrier...but I don't know how he'd feel about being called 'mother'. Most people assume that they're gendered terms, because humans do this silly thing where they call roles different things if a man or a woman is doing them, never mind that a lot of people don't seem to be either one."

He shrugs again. "Some people, like you, map sire and carrier to father and mother. And for me...it seems like for humans, 'mother' and 'father' are two different jobs. Viridian says Ravi's her mother and I am her mom, and I am her father but Ravi's her dad. And Sparkthief and Catfish both call me Mamawave."

He shrugs.

"Besides. I'm literally really complex--I have more cores in my processor than anyone's really supposed to, and sometimes I'm aware of the other worlds out there, which is...not as much fun as it sounds. But honestly? I don't think anyone, of any species, completely fits into those labels.

"Personally, I prefer using she and they pronouns depending on the day, but for the most part, I don't care as long as you don't refer to me as he or it."

He sighs. "I don't need an all knowing, all powerful god to have faith in the future, faith in the universe: I don't need one to celebrate the seasons and the holy days, which were things I scorned in my youth, because in the Tower where I grew up, all of the celebrations were empty of love. I just need my conjunx, and my children, and my lovers...and my grandmother."

That's a shy little smile, even if you can see it through a blast mask.
