Mh I received a couple of request about Knockout and his son (yes ofc is Wildbreak, I mean...) so I'll make some sketch & ideas here and something else later. Since "The Sparkling Deal" is like a magical "fix all" and quite a indulgent pleasure for GF and most of the followers ( yes yes and me), I found cute give uncle Knockout his baby. After all, following our own rules, Knockout & Breakdown could have a sparkling and decide tostop the grow at the protoform phase give it very little code uploads (to not completely froze the baby) and wait for better moments after the war (Is funny\cool when happens in fic but... let's say that the Nemesis and Decepticons enviroment is not exactly the good place for a baby).

describe the story i hear told across the songs: Won’t Stand Down, Ghosts, You Make Me Feel Like it’s Halloween, Kill or Be Killed, and Verona.

WSD

I've opened my eyes and counted the lies And now it is clearer to me You are just a user and an abuser And I refuse to take it 

...

I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise I will never see you the same I know how to win, before you begin I'll shoot you before you take aim

This is abt the anger of someone realizing they’re in an abusive relationship, deciding to stand up for themselves and essentially deciding to fight fire with fire and turning their abuser’s mind games back around on them. They leave.

Won't stand down I'm growing stronger Won't stand down I'm owned no longer Won't stand down You've used me for too long Now die alone

Ghosts

Lost in my head There are unsolved feelings that haunt me It's too late to heal I'll lay them to rest

Grieving, not having closure, and pining :: in the narrative it’s about missing the loving person the abuser used to be >> being unable to heal, move on or bring [that version of] them back.

How can I sleep with this coldness beside me How can I sleep with this coldness inside me I know I can't bring back your love

Halloween

Are you the poison, are you the cure? I'm not so sure

They go back to their abuser and it’s even worse than before. fear and paranoia mount yet they’re addicted and can’t escape.

You cut me off from my friends You cut me off from my family I'm in misery (I'm your number one fan) Each day I fall to my knees I see the writing on the wall Now I'm in withdrawal

I'm shackled, there is no way out (there's is nothing I can do to escape) I can't escape

I see your eye in the keyhole I feel like it's Halloween (Halloween) It's Halloween (Halloween) Won't rest until I'm possessed You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween) It's Halloween (Halloween)

KobK

Cornered, I'm exhausted with fear Our love and compassion dissolved And demons, have materialized in me Can't fight them, they're taking control

The only way out is to face their abuser. They become ‘possessed.’

Fate, is driving me insane It's forcing me to face I must kill or be killed

They've driven a stake right through my heart I'm growing so cold and detached

Verona

Can we kiss With poison on our lips Well I'm not scared

Can we touch and taste forbidden bliss They can't stop us now, I won't let you be alone I am coming for you Keep us apart, it's too much to ask

Take off your clothes and take off your mask

Romantic as hell, right, except i mean the more you look at the lyrics [in the context of this story] the more it’s about   fucking,,, *first degree murder-suicide* but yknow, loving, without the fear, cold and mask/disguise from earlier

You and me Throw caution to the wind And I will risk everything just to feel the warmth And the voltage of your skin If this is my last day on Earth, I just want to be with you You are all that's true
