my au heatwave is half beastformer and due to this part of his physical appearance and some of his mannerisms (such as his growling / roaring at threats and his anger : tendencies to attack / scratch his wood post) resemble some form of tiger-like cybertronian animal (cybertrons surface has animals just as seen in TFO - some are organic and others are half mech half organic) which obviously makes Kade think of HW whenever he sees anything tiger related and because he’s so happy / relieved to be in a proper supportive and loving relationship he just keeps collecting tiger stuff to show heatwave that he thought of him and he gives heatwave some of the tiger stuff so now they both have tiger shrines in their respective rooms

After a while of Kade calling and comparing heatwave to tigers - HW wanted to find something that reminded him of Kade (not knowing you can’t really choose something to remind you of someone) and ultimately landed on lions due to kades ‘messy red hair and his showy-off attitude’ so now theyre tiger x lion Bfs and becuse Kade just keeps buying tiger shit HW wanted to find out how to get him lion stuff so somehow landed on Frankie of all people to get him lion stuff for Kade in secret and give it to him every time he picked her and Cody up from school

Please ask about my Kadewave, beastformer hw and heatwaves upbringing / trauma in my auuu!! I love yapping about my HCs but I need prompting to do so as I never know where or what to start 😭

I see no difference in these two images

Formally introducing Elder Elra and Soldier Kade :3

I'm pretty proud of how this turned out, I haven't used markers in a long time so I think it looks good for not using them after a bit.

Biology lessons, of the human and alien variety. And what better place than sitting inside said alien?

Heatwave freaks out about a (relatively) minor injury Kade gets, and refuses to put him down. This turns into an argument. Kade is still not put down.

Getting time to be all by himself is so rare that Kade always takes advantage of it. Even now when he knows there's probably somewhere else he's supposed to be or something else he's supposed to be doing the fact that he's alone is enough to let him forget all about it. Alone is enough to have him panting heavy, biting back little gasps. It shouldn't feel so good but it does, doesn't matter that he could easily be having someone else do this for him. Then suddenly he hears it, someone else, somewhere near and he's a little mad but not enough for him to stop.
