15) why did you start writing?

That’s a funny story. Actually, I started writing to express my opinion that I couldn’t express in a discussion. 

I was seventeen, and I was in the Naruto fandom (back when the second part of the manga / Shippuuden didn’t even exist), and I really, really loved Itachi. I saw him as a very complex character with interesting motivations, and I also saw evidence in canon that he loved Sasuke. Unfortunately, in the fandom Itachi was usually portrayed as a cardboard cutout villain rapist. 

So I started writing to show people the Itachi I fell in love with. And, magically enough, it worked. I managed to do with my stories what I could never do in discussions: I influenced the fandom’s general opinion. Of course, there were other authors, and there were other people who agreed with me, but back then we met in the comments to the stories I wrote. Every comment that said “you changed the way I see Itachi, he’s a great character” filled my heart with joy. 

8. If you were a transformer, what would your alt mode be? Why?

  Me: *resists the urge to draw robots in scarves...

Ooooh! I like to think that Tailgate sneaks into Meg’s room to wear his scarf (which basically covers his whole body because its that big) and drink Meg’s tea from his giant mug :D

oh no, I can`t stop thinking that it happened after Megatron's death T_T

I know that we, as a fandom, joke about Optimus Prime dying and coming back but lets be real here, Megatron doesn’t die. He just takes long naps enforced by serious injury. And sometimes death.

It’s fine, all you gotta do is dump his corpse in space/the ocean and he’ll be back (possibly as Galvatron/with a sick new paintjob/literally God) in like, a week.

And I didn’t even feel motivated to try and look up his deaths in comics. Has he been dying in IDW? I feel like he’s died or at least been assumed dead at least once. Maybe twice.

Anyways, the point is, don’t worry.

A heavy armoured transport! Well-protected, sturdy and ready to carry friends safely. 

Thank you! ;u;

Oh yes, a few! There are some who consider what they do “art” - Buzzsaw, most famously, considers waging warfare a form of art, but the actual culture-makers have included:

Slog here is a sculptor. He was originally employed by the Decepticons to make works of art glorifying their rise, but now that he’s on the battlefield, he makes abstract art sculptures out of dead Autobot bodies. This has inspired a legitimate art form called “Slogism” dedicated to showing the horrors of war.

Loudpedal uses sonic weaponry in battle, but he secretly maintains an alter ego as the underground musician “C-Shadow,” one of the galaxy’s foremost musicians, using a holomatter avatar to make public appearances while keeping his real identity a secret!

In the IDW comics, Thundercracker’s exposure to human television and film has led him to take up screenwriting!
