Close ups~

Idk how to draw dinobot's hands, they confuse me so much...🥲

There are actually two snippets here. One for my Ko-fi supporters, and one for everyone <3 Enjoy~! ;-; man Sounders gonna need hugs when he home. And yes he's coming home, it'd be a very short story if he didn't. fuck u Arena give Sounders back to his fam)

~~~

Soundwave wishes that he didn’t have to be here. Unfortunately for them all, he has four-- no, now six little Sparks giving him a reason to keep coming back, and since he’s decided that’s what he wants, he’s committed to it.

Which means that every single mech surrounding him, eventually, at some point, if another mech doesn’t tear them apart first, it will be his miserable joy to do so. He’s not exactly well liked here.

Not even by the so-called fans of his in the arena. They’d cheer his demise ever more fiercely than his success; his winning streak risked their boredom. His loss would be a novel, once-in-a-lifetime event.

His engine turns on with a rumble so quiet, not a soul but the one hiding so silently against his chest could ever know. Fine tremors threaten to shake through his frame as the fear trails ice-cold fingers down his struts like finely tuned scalpels, slicing through his armor of false composure, fraying his nerves alive as his defensive systems come online with an instinctive rush--

Hey. Focus. Just get across the room, we don’t have to waste any time with these code nags, they willingly signed up for this slag, Lazerbeak reminds him scathingly, riled enough Soundwave worries for a moment that her engine might kick on. Guilt at his own lapse of control flares, and just as quickly, the concern is washed aside by a peaceful calm not borne from his own Spark. It comes tinged with indignant frustration, perhaps rightly so; of the two of them, Soundwave has no questions on who is the braver mech. Oh come on, she injects directly into his thoughts, the edges of their minds blurring for a moment before solidifying as she probably changes system processes throughout his frame again.

What would he do without her?

The very start of the next chapter of GOK contains a very -special- kind of jumpscare~ ;) Enjoy the sneaky peak preview!

and shhhhh if you can, please~ let people be surprised when it's published hehehe >:) >:D *evil dragon laugh*

I've taken ya'lls advice and took a little bit of a break from writing for a hot bit (though the stories never leave my head, i'm always working on them. I think and plot and get ideas for them daily. --Okay more like constantly. Always. lmfao.) and I've gotten a lot of things done productive, even if that was just... sitting quietly, hanging out with any of the critters or taking a moment of peace for myself.

as much as writing helps me, it does also drain my energy in its own ways, so the time i've taken to recharge while also dealing with everything else going on has been healing. ;w; thank you for being so supportive. I don't think I could have dreamed of or asked for kinder readers and people surrounding me.

I neeeeed to wriiiite though so i'm working on dedicating some set aside time to it this week, so I'll do my best to get some chapters rolled out ;v; i got so many ideas I want to write down and share hehe~
