This post post ended up being super duper long lol

This post is both me going in further on my idea for the fic and a reply to @zero-theredwolf 's comment!

Your absolutely right

His death would NOT fix shit.

Abuse and loss may have caused him to be the reason for all the strained relationships –He's the one who distanced himself from everyone instead of asking for help and he knows it (not that help would have actually come...)– but that doesn't give him the right to lash out at everyone and nor does it give reason for said everyone to forgive all his actions that had harmed them.

I'll have to do more research on mental health to properly write this

I don't want him to be just some victim bc he is no normal victim he's evil as hell

His attempts at killing megatron were reason for the initial abuse, but maybe at some point the abuse stopped being because of starscreams attempts at claiming the throne and just because of megatrons anger issues (which will prolly be why magatron would feel guilty)

I'm thinking of making it that they'll all be sad about what could've been of their relationships/guilt of just standing at the side while watching starscreams abuse, not "omg i forgive all his horrible actions now that hes dead!"

Maybe even wish that they had seen the signs of his slow mental decline sooner or spoke up about megatrons abuse –though they all know that that if they did that theyd simply get the same treatment as him– he might not be dead

But that's it

Just "i wish i did a little more"

To them starscream is a person they kinda regret failing, they know they couldn't have actually helped but it was a little sad to know he's suffered infront of them and most did next to nothing to help him out

His trine will feel VERY bad about it mostly bc they are his trine and were the closest to him

I have an idea about how the bond breaking might also add to their guilt

Another thing is I want him to actually redeem himself

I want him to be forgiven but he can't be forgiven if he doesn't change.

I think I might have him do good acts as a ghost; like saving one of soundwaves cassettes, organizing skyfires lab and correcting thundercrackers screenplays

Maybe coming in dreams too to help them or give them advise! (Possibly in the form of another bot that isnt him)

Heck maybe even preventing accidents from harming them.

Idk I want him to get therapy but have no idea how a ghost would get a therapist

Imagine a therapist with an Ouija board lmao

"Hmm and how does that make you feel"

*The wooden piece moves around the board to spell out "like slag"*

It would be funny but I'd have to think of another way to properly fix and redeem this loser

Maybe he'd do good deeds because it would make a gap in his spark feel less empty or something like that

Primus will be the reason for all of this hehe

"Gooooo fiiix your looiifeee loserrr~"

Yes I know the trope of Gods telling someone to go fix their mess of a life is silly but I'm silly enthusiast so I'm adding that‼️‼️

God I wrote way more than I expected to lol, if I can think of how to properly start the fic I will 100% write it bc I'm currently soo obsessed ghostscream

Ignore any spelling and punctuation mistakes, English is not my first language. Also punctuation is my greatest enemy after time management
