Do I like them: I really do! I think she might be my favourite human in TF alongside Marissa Faireborn.

5 good qualities: Kind, brave, determined, resourceful, great taste in music. 

3 bad qualities: Moody, withdrawn, impulsive. 

Favourite episode/etc: Most of her scenes were pretty great, but if I had to pick one I might go with the scene where she’s trying to revive Bee with the electric guns. 

OTP: I guess Charlie/Bumblebee or Charlie/Memo. 

brOTP: Again, Charlie/Bumblebee and Charlie/Memo.

OT3: Bumblebee/Charlie/Memo

nOTP: N/A

Best quote: “If you tell anyone what you just saw, I’m going to have to run you over with my car. But not in a mean way.”

Put an assumption in my ask. I’ll confirm or dispute it. I’m not gonna be mean or anything, I’m just very interested. You can go anon if you want.

Oh boy, this is hard!

1. Myself. This might sound selfish or arrogant, but I try to write the stories I wanted or needed. There are also stories I have considered writing because I want to try a plot premise or twist but I don’t trust other people to do it properly. (I am...slowly beginning to have this relationship with Dratchet writers. Why do they write them so sappy?) (Ask me about this in a separate ask).

2. JK Rowling. She was the first real author I remember really falling for. I wasn’t allowed to read Harry Potter for a long time, so I snuck it on the sly and just fell in love with it. I wanted so badly to go to Hogwarts, to have magic and to live in a beautiful castle where there were people who would recognize how brilliant I was and wouldn’t mock me for it (I was bullied as a child). As I grew older, HP was also the first fandom that I really engaged with meta for the first time, and it was the first time I learned that you could actually write essays about new books! Of course, JK Rowling has since let me down in multiple ways and it has hurt me deeply, but she is a still a guiding light--if only where not to go.

3. Jane Austen. I really fell in love with Jane when I was around fourteen-fifteen. I had to read Emma for a class and I really struggled with it. Jane’s a little like Shakespeare--when you’re not used to the language, you can’t read the subtext. I gave up on Emma--for the moment--and ended up watching the 2005 Pride & Prejudice. It was such a delight that I found and read the book and I loved it deeply. I still love it deeply. I have read all of her work except Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park (I saw an adaptation and did not care for it), and Lady Susan. I’ll get to Northanger eventually. Persuasion is actually my favorite of all her novels, and it and Emma have codified my love for quiet love stories.

4. Mairghread Scott. She was recommended to me by a friend of mine, who got me into Transformers: Prime (I was so confused during the first five minutes. Who was talking???!!) and then recommended Windblade Vol 1 when I was like ZOMG I NEED MORE. The more I learned about Mairghread Scott, the more my friend and I joked that it was like she was me from the future. We both love Shakespeare, we both wanted Transformers to be more like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (where religion is treated specifically as a cultural force and not something to be mocked), she gave me everything I wanted, even the things I didn’t ask for, in Windblade Vol 2, we even look a little alike (more now that I’ve cut my hair), and we’re both Pagan. I know she doesn’t have the same regard from the fandom as, say, James Roberts, but I far prefer her style of writing and I would deeply love to emulate her career and work with her one day.

28. Who has better boobs: Soundwave or Shockwave?

all boobs are good boobs. shockwave tho

17. Favorite version of Starscream?

1. When did you join the fandom?

technically in 2005, when I saw the G1 cartoon for the first time, but only really became part of the fandom in 2017 :’D

5. Autobots or Decepticons? Why?

Both have a lot of pros and cons, but the Autobots don’t have Megatron so, gonna have to go with Autobots on this one.

YO IM ASSUMING THIS IS FOR IDW. IF NOT, SEND IT IN AGAIN FOR TFA

Why I like them:

Swindle is literally too relatable at times it’s scary. plus, smol! smol liar! wouldn’t trust him as far as i could throw him, and that’s why i love him.

Why I don’t:

I really like this dude, but if there was one thing that irks me about him is more how openly he will trust a dude if it’s for money. starscream, you amazing manipulating piece of crap, you. It’s more so i was screaming, don’t TRUST HIM SWINDLE throughout that whole arc of taao, but other than that, not really. he is one of my favourite characters.

Favorite comic panels

you know that scene where waspinator and him are chatting. you know, the one where swindle is all like “Do I ever lie?” with the box introducing him like Swindle: Currently Lying. Yeah. That’s my favourite.

Favorite comic series.

His role in Till All Are One. Definitely.

Favorite line

“HEY IT WAS WORKING WHEN I GOT IT. I MEAN, WOULD I LIE?”

Favorite art style

he really doesn’t change styles, but i like the taao design better than mtme and robots in disguise 

OTP

im pretty chill with swindle/blurr. i really cant picture him romantically with anyone in idw unless you want to go ALL THE COMBATICONS

Brotp

him and all the combaticons is pretty swell. neato. i dig it.

Head Canon

fumbling with money helps him calm down. a lot. also makes it easier for him to swindle people outta their money.

Unpopular opinion

i dunno if this is considered unpopular, but i did like how they brought him back. i was hoping they did. it hurt a lot when they killed him off.

A wish

hmmm. i wish he called starscream out on his BS but taao is ending and i guess we’ll never see the end of that.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

dON’T KILL HIM. AGAIN.
