Title: Hey, Kid Fandom: Transformers Pairing: Drift x Ratchet Rating: Not Rated Tags: Angst, Grief/Mourning, Canonical Character Death, Established Relationship, Conjunx Endurae, Hurt very little Comfort

Okay, this started out as an exercise in writing angst and somehow turned into a story of its own. I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!

(Even though there isn't much to be happy about here lol)

Summary:

i’ve managed exactly two (2) doodles for dratchetparty this time ‘round, so here’s the first one!!

Hello! You are one of the most amazing creators I’ve ever come across. I’ve been following your work for a long time, and I remember you mentioning that you use improvisation in your comics.

How do you manage to weave such intricate details into a coherent, large-scale plot like Spellbound AU while still improvising?

I’m currently working on my own comic. I have the entire plot figured out and a mountain of notes, but no actual script. The thing is, if I write a complete, step-by-step script, I know I'll lose all interest in drawing the comic. I truly enjoy being a "gardener" and discovering the story as I go. But right now, I feel stuck because my notes feel too jumbled to actually start drawing.

Do you have any tips or hacks on how to improvise effectively, write logical transitions between chapters, and smoothly add hidden details? How do you bridge that gap without losing the excitement of being a gardener?

Thank you so much for your inspiring work!

My strategy is to have a mental map of all important plot-related details but improvise the way I show them.

So I don't plan specific events, I plan the impact the characters supposed to feel from them. I am hoping that phrasing makes sense.

That way I can keep my hints/details somewhat coherent but I also get to improvise a lot.

Like, for example, I didn't plan to draw the drinking party from the start. I just planned that I needed to show that demons can be affected my stuff that gets inside of them. And then I improvised all the ways that information was shown.

So basically the plan was -> Blurr (and readers) learn that demons can be affected from the inside.

And then the improvisation was -> Blurr making Shockwave drink healing potions, Shockwave getting drunk, the famous liquid death being a a potion as well.

This way of writing works best for me so far. Because yeah, I also lose motivation if I try to do a whole script in advance.

(Really love the idea of Deadlock x LL Ratchet

Dementia Ratchet AU

An AU built on Ratchet suffering from spark burnout? Oh absolutely. Plus, I threw processor burnout in there too!

Drift tries to play along, just to keep from upsetting Ratchet

Ratchet’s memory lapses are getting worse. Much worse

Grumpy Drift gets a kiss from his wife… he is now happy (*´▽`*)

Little messy dratchet animation because I’ve barely animated in my life and I really want to :3

(Random thought but I find it interesting when people say Ratchet wouldn’t be affectionate… NO? Like yes he’d probably be shy about it in public but he loves Drift sooooo much. If anything he might even be MORE touchy. He isn’t good with words of affection like Drift is, but he shows it in other ways. Like this :3 NOW KITH!!!)

ALSO HAPPY PRIDE!!! All hail the rainbow 🌈

Bon Voyage Rodimus!

I HATE backgrounds, I wish I could skip it, but I hope to get better… HOWEVER, don’t expect masterpieces 😭
