I know what I'm about, son

I’d call star a dirty old man, but in a stunning turn of events whe/eelja/ck’s actually older than him

A digital piece in flats of Wheel.jack from trans.formers id.w1, drawn with a potbelly that rolls over his waist. He scratches the back of his head with a sheepish expression and says "I'm awfully sorry, Lord Star.scream not much progress on Su.perion t' report. [break] Lately s'been hard to get under the hood fer some reason..."

I am fond of him, personality wise I'd say he's.. my third fave across continuities, can't help that I like my Shoc/kwaves a bit on the genius dumbass side of the spectrum. However I ADORE his emoting audials though, and must admit I do enjoy a Shockster who can throw another bot across the room.

A digital drawing in flat colors of star.scream and wheel.jack from trans.formers. They are in their id.w1 designs, except that Wheel.jack has been drawn with a large potbelly.

Wheeljack has tears forming in his eyes, and is blushing, as though ashamed. he glances nervously at Star.scream. He has a hand tentatively placed over Star.scream’s, which is grabbing a handful of his belly fat.

Star.scream is positioned slightly behind Wheel.jack, leaning over to speak in his ear. He’s simpering, with his lips quirked up into a grin.

He says: “What’s there to cry about?? You Auto.bots are meant to be soft. A good thing too; it makes you more fun❤”

Tenderly Kno/ck Ou/t stroked the armor-seam, rolling a fold of mesh between his claws. “You’re getting grounder-wings,” he murmured into Brea/kdown’s  audial. “Little aero slang for you there.” - Fuel Shortage, Chapter 6

If you're fit or mostly physically able, you may not think about others' mobility. I'm not quite talking about becoming "immobile" as we understand it in the feedist community, but just something for my fellow feeders to consider (and anyone who is walking with people who may be larger). It's going to be different for everyone because every body is different. This is based on my own observations.

As your feedee grows, they might not be able to walk as far as they used to. This means you might need to take more frequent breaks with them. Their body might hurt when standing or slowly browsing (shopping for example).

Weather may also affect this. I live in a climate that's very dry and hot in the summer. I have to pay extra care to my feedees when out and about with them in weather like this.

If you drive, when you get to the car, start it and crank that air conditioner all the way up. Let the car start to cool as your feedee gets situated. It might take them some extra time to get in and get their seatbelt on. If your car's A/C is broken, get it fixed. Seriously. Drop the $$$ and do it because you do NOT want your feedee to be uncomfortable after walking and hefting themself into the car (especially in warm weather).

Tips:

Scout out your trip before you go! Look for coffee shops to take breaks in. Are there public benches? Do the shops you plan on going to have seating?

Ask your feedee how far they can usually walk. Record this and be aware of how far they can actually walk (they might over-estimate it).

Check-in with your feedee frequently to see how they are doing. They might be ready to call it a day far sooner than you're ready for and that's ok.
