Would you two get along? Or would he be the type of historian you would fight with?

Well! I'm not well-versed in OOPArts, but I'll be eager to listen to him ramble about them! I think, as long as he shows the due respect to the cultures he studies, I'd get along fine with him!

Platonic/Friend Headcanons with (IDW1/MTMTE) Rodimus & Human Reader:

LMAO

Honestly I bet Charlie could convince anyone that they have it handled

And even if they didn’t believe him at first, they’d end up going home after witnessing the chaos like

Drill wishes it was as simple as overlord singling him out, but nope! It's for a personal reason why he's so adamant about not tormenting him, but killing him outright.

Explanation below cut XD if anyone asks me to talk about Drillburst and Overlord, you bet I'm gonna talk a LOT

My lifelong love for dinosaurs developed my love for birds and bird-shaped things (like pterosaurs, who weren’t dinosaurs or birds but had some of those features I love). I always found them to be such fascinating and stunning animals, (the talons on most birds are much more impressive to me than the claws in mammals, and their feathers can look soft, prickly, beautiful and terrifying) and if I remember right, birds are also some of the most varied and colorful vertebrates on earth, only beaten by the variations and number in invertebrates like insects! Dinosaurs never truly went extinct. Avian theropods are still at the top of their game and found on just about every corner of the planet, and kid me loved that :>

I love watching them walk, stretch/flap their wings, grab things with their talons, listening to their vocalizations, observe their many courting displays, and staring at the shape and colors of their eyes. Even in the most ‘unimpressive’ birds, like domesticated chickens. They are surprisingly dinosaurian lol (my dad thinks chickens are more dinosaur-like than any other bird and yeah I can see it XD especially since there’s apparently a breed that look like mini oviraptors!)

Bird tangent aside, yes! A lot of my drawings are oc related, which does mean all (few) references are my own stuff ;v; which actually can make things more difficult since currently Starhawk is the only oc with a ref sheet, and not a very detailed one (one day I will have to remake it with a back view lmao).

But fun part about the birdformers au is that the only references I really need to look at are pictures of birds lol XD I love drawing transformers but sometimes I need a break from the mechanical design.

i’m so glad you’re interested in valdangelo! this got a bit long bc i am extremely passionate about these two losers lmao.

to preface, i should mention that i’ve never read ToA so if i reference canon, it’ll mainly be HoO (where nico and leo both appear) and a little bit of PJO.

for me personally, being unsatisfied with the canon ships (solangelo and caleo) is really what pushed me toward considering the valdangelo pairing in the first place. i won’t go into that too much since it’s not what you’re asking, but i think instead of introducing new love interests, it would’ve made for a stronger narrative to focus on characters who were already involved with the prophecy. 

aside from the obvious fact that nico and leo both see themselves as outcasts in some way, they also share A LOT of the same insecurities: scared of being left behind, not being wanted, not having a place to belong. for nico, this stems from bianca going to join the hunters, being the only child of hades for a while until he meets hazel, and coming to terms with his sexuality. for leo, it’s moving around to different foster homes, having difficulty connecting with people vs machines, and when he does make friends (jason and piper) he finds out that those memories were all fake.

so they have similar issues but the interesting thing is how they deal with it and how it involves people externally. nico runs and leaves camp, retreats within himself, being very cautious to open up to new people. leo so desperately wants to be accepted that he comes across as obnoxious a lot of the times, gets dismissed, and even if people realize that he’s putting on a facade, no one really takes the time to get to know him. at the core of it, they’re both hiding a part of themselves because they’ve been hurt before but still want nothing more than to make genuine connections. (there is something very human about that that makes it even more heartbreaking)

as a result, nico and leo both just get it and i think they would understand each other better than anyone else.

another thing is that they actually have a pretty similar sense of humour because dark humour (nico) and self-deprecating humour (leo) will inevitably overlap. it’s not entirely the same (nico is more deadpan, leo probably watches vines/tiktok lmao) but i think there is untapped potential here that could lead to some great banter.

lastly, i know this also applies to solangelo, but there’s just something to be said about hephaestus and hades, fire and darkness, life and death. nico learning that his relationship with hades doesn’t define him, despite the stigma, and leo burning down the house and killing his mom but then also breathing life into machines. the duality... the poetry...
