Hi yeah wow it has been… 8 years since I last did RP here? Many things have changed and idek where to start with all that.

Big career growth in my job after hopping around a bit. Started dating. Got engaged. Moved in with my fiancée. Adopted a Kitty Kitty. So many road trips I LOVE DRIVING AND GOING PLACES. Making friends offline. Medical issues. Therapy and meds. Got a car that doesn’t break down if you look at a photo of it. New hobbies that don’t have me glued to the computer.

Improved a good bit with art along the way, too. So that’s been nice. (I occasionally post it on @doruumon tho not recently. Recovering from above medical issues and only just really getting back into drawing so I need to find a better setup for that)

Oh and I became much more ill about this big Doofus, that did happen. I love him. I wrote a fic a couple of years ago where I mentally and emotionally tortured him.

Lots of ups and downs but right now I can’t imagine being in a happier place. Except maybe if that place has an occipital nerve that isn’t being crushed (pls stretch and have good posture friends)? That would be cool af. I can imagine that.

Idk if I’ll be around here much outside of like, goofs and such, let alone who all is around these days, but hey hi I’m alive and I’ve never been better. Thanks to the anon who dropped a weird ask in my inbox.

NAME : T. Just T. That’s all you get. NICKNAME :   TC, Armor, Tech  FACECLAIM :  Shoutmon, Digimon: Xros Wars  PRONOUNS : They/Them HEIGHT :   5′ 7 1/2″ ish???  BIRTHDAY :   Aug 1 AESTHETIC :   Rain on a busy city street where all the lights from stores and cars are reflecting off it. ; Shabby wood furnishings mixed with abstract metal art. ; a cozy pile of pillows and a mug of hot cocoa. ; v a p o r w a v e. ; robots + mechanical things. ; frogs in a pond. LAST  SONG  YOU  LISTENED  TO :  “String Theory” - Les Friction FAVORITE  MUSE (S)  YOU’VE  WRITTEN : Cade Yeager, Trilogy Optimus Prime, Trilogy Thundercracker, various OCs

GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  ACCOUNT :

WHAT  INSPIRED  YOU  TO  TAKE  ON  THIS  MUSE :  Just... the lack of love/attention this particular Prime gets. I enjoyed his journey through the entirety of the Unicron Trilogy, seeing him grow as a being, seeing his mindset and beliefs shift based on the universe around him, and just--how versatile of a character he can be, I guess? He’s been incredibly intimidating, but so satisfying. Plus, I wanted to push myself with my writing. I wasn’t putting out the quality that I wanted to on any other blog, so I took on a big, scary, important boy to try and force me to be better. In some ways, it worked. Not totally yet, but I’ll get there. I pray.

WHAT  ARE  YOUR  FAVORITE  ASPECTS  OF  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE :  I love how he never gives up. Even when you can see him struggling, he tries so desperately to keep going. His world is pulled through a tear in the universe, his people are dying, everything is falling apart--HE’S falling apart--but he gets up, brushes the dirt from his frame, and prays for the strength to keep moving forward. I love that he isn’t perfect, and that he’s always trying to improve for both himself and his people. He makes mistakes, and he owns up to them, but he doesn’t back down when he KNOWS that he’s right. I wish I had that strength, to just... never budge when the solution is so clear, but the odds are against me. I love how deep his passion is for helping his people and his world move forward. I love his openness when he doesn’t have all the answers, when he goes to his friends, when he seeks counsel from Primus, just--he’s so believable as a character that’s struggling and lost. Trilogy OP is such a wonderful incarnation, and I just want others to see that too.

WHAT’S  YOUR  BIGGEST  INSPIRATION  WHEN  IT  COMES  TO  WRITING :  Mostly my writing partners lmao. It was @mastermegatron that encouraged me to pick up this muse, and with how fantastic her writing, structure, and worldbuilding is, and how deep our plotting goes, I push myself to try and get better and meet that level of wonderful writing. I strive to be as strong in my diction as others who play the more serious incarnations of Optimi are expected to have (and in a few cases VERY MUCH HAVE HOLY POOP), that if I keep going forward, I can be better than what I am now. Maybe someday. But most of all, it’s just being able to throw a character most people ignore into the multiverse and see what sticks. Writing with people who are just starting out and watching them grow as authors is so heart warming and encouraging, and the ideas these different universes and fandoms bring to the table help me discover aspects of my own writing that I would have never discovered otherwise. Tl;dr: it’s the people around me. I love those that I write with now, those that have left, and the ones that haven’t even begun to plot with me yet. I just aspire to keep getting better.

FAVORITE  TYPES  OF  THREADS : I love plotting, dude. Plan out a big arcing story with me, especially AU, please. It can start small, but I love worldbuilding, character growth, and just anything that keeps me running back to reply as soon as time allows. I’ve never been good with short threads or throwaway ideas, so I try not to take part. But man, no matter what the subject is, if we’re both pumped, then I never want to let go. As for particular subjects? Exploring new places, pushing boundaries, and just having a goal in mind, no matter how vague.

BIGGEST  STRUGGLE  IN  REGARDS  TO  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE : He’s an Optimus, so people expect quite a bit of quality and sticking to canon. I feel that I can’t always live up to those expectations, or even my own. I’ve never written a canon character as big-name as him before, so it’s intimidating to think that one typo or flip-flopped sentence will make me lose any credibility I have. I also fear I won’t be able to do him the justice he deserves, or that I’m misinterpreting canon and portray him wrong. I ADORE this muse so much, I don’t want to mess up. So, the fear of being wrong makes me step back sometimes. And I wish it didn’t.

🐰 :|| Is water wet?

There aren’t many, in regards to his personal aspirations. He does all he can to keep goals that are Cybertron-centric at the forefront of his thoughts, even when it is at his own detriment.

For the few things he has ever wanted for himself, the greatest dream that he has had to set aside was becoming a detective—of the Nick Valentine variety. (I personally think he’d be somewhere on the spectrum between Nick and Columbo, with maybe a smattering of Mulder thrown in) As an Enforcer, he would grow frustrated at just how many cases were seen as unsolvable, or had been dropped because they seemed too challenging. It left people without answers regarding their loved ones, causing further harm to the populous at large.

Imagine it: digging up cold cases, finding clues that had been ignored for centuries, bringing justice to someone once forgotten. Or, someone down on their luck comes in needing help finding a dear friend, or the final piece of data they need to save the town dance hall from some real estate tycoon. He dreamed of being the one to solve these problems and cases and help others find their joy or have their little victories.

Sure, it was a rather rose-tinted dream within a young mech who had not yet taken the Matrix, but solving problems and working with people one-on-one to bring them peace was what he believed his spark wanted.
