WIP GAME
Tagged courtesy of @bonjourxrenae. Thanks!
RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
Okay, so pretty much all of my attention for the past year has been going to my main project, Sins Of My Youth. I make a separate doc for each chapter so if I named every single one in my WIP folder it would be 1) very long, and 2) very boring, because I basically just name them all "Gangreen Gang fic Chapter [number]."
(I didn't actually think of a name until right before I posted it and just kept up with the "Gangreen Gang fic" naming theme even after I picked something)
But I have like 6 different versions of my outline, so I can share those:
Gangreen Gang fic/Sins Of My Youth Outline
Sins Of My Youth Outline Draft 2
Sins Of My Youth Outline Draft 3
Sins Of My Youth Outline Take 4
Sins Of My Youth Outline Take 5
Sins Of My Youth Outline 6
As far as other, smaller projects, I've had:
Snake Arturo One Shot (Later became Thick as Thieves when I posted it in July)
Handmaid's Tale fic The [Unwoman/Econowife/Aunt/etc] (My Untold Stories from Gilead fic I finished in March this year after a 3 year hiaus)
SkyStar Fic (How to Get Your Crush to Notice You in One Easy Step; my Valentine's Day Transformers fic from last year)
Snake Fic (A Simple Mission, which was a one shot I posted last year)
Gangreen Scene (A currently unpublished scene detailing how the Gangreen Gang met Sedusa that I would really like to fit into Sins Of My Youth somewhere if I can find a good place for it)
But yeah, I wish I had better/funnier names to share, but I usually just go with whatever is the easiest to keep track of and don't officially name anything until it's complete so I can have the clearest picture of what I want to emphasize
I tag @loveandscience and anyone else who wants to do it!

Aside from the weird ending for TFP Starscream in Predacons Rising (implied to be killed by the Predacons), the show treated him pretty sympathetically (though not kindly).
He is a Bad Guy, so when he does things like shoot Bee's t-cog to a cinder or brag about killing Cliffjumper, yes, he is karmatically punished (by losing his own t-cog, by having Arcee almost kill him, etc). But whenever Megatron starts stomping towards him, the shots are framed from Starscream's perspective. It doesn't have an air of "yeah, go Megs! this is justice!", it is unsettling, it emphasizes how helpless Starscream is, it's like a scene from a horror movie or a bad dream.
(The only time Starscream getting thrashed was played for comedic effect was when he hit Predaking, who at the time was non-sapient; so it was like Starscream was hitting a dog.)
Remember how Starscream briefly went solo and then returned to the Nemesis, vowing to be loyal to Megatron? Well, he WAS loyal for the entire rest of the show. And Megatron still degraded him, dismissed his efforts, and beat him up. (Very notably, he beat up Starscream but not Knock Out for the Silas debacle.)
In other words, Megatron doesn't denigrate Starscream because of what Starscream's done--because he's conniving or traitorous. It happens because of who MEGATRON is. Starscream isn't a good person, but that's not why he's abused, nor does it justify it, and I thought the show was pretty unambiguous about that.
That's what makes Starscream's end in Predacon's Rising so odd. I speculate that they were trying for a tragic ending of "abuse victim becomes the abuser" (as we did see him mistreating the Predacons, even after he knew they were sapient, and enjoying it).
But Starscream was also comic relief with Knock Out for the entire last season, which reeeeally didn't allow it to work. Everyone loves a comic relief guy and they are usually allowed to live, escape, or be redeemed. (For example, Iago the parrot was redeemed in the sequel to "Aladdin" even though he was totally on board with killing Aladdin and Jasmine in the first movie.) Also, Knock Out getting to switch sides made it even weirder. IMO they should have had Starscream go with Shockwave (who just, like, left??).
Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Binging TFP is so funny because oh, here's Skyquake who's so faithful to his master, oh, here's Breakdown who pushes Bulkhead out of the path of MECH's weapons, oh, here's Dreadwing who is So Honorable, and the Autobots PLEAD with them to change sides, to become Autobots . . .
BUT NO, they get Knock Out. The vainglorious, self-centered little shit who has no qualms, no loyalty, no morals, and certainly no medical ethics . . . Knock Out, who DOES NOT have a redemption arc or a change of heart or feel bad about a single thing he's done, who says out loud that he just wants to be on the winning team.
I love that. I love that all the noble, loyal Decepticons fucking die and only Knock Out wedges his way into Team Prime, fueled by spite at Starscream and a desire to live comfortably.

Imagine how fucking loud Lost Light must be. People are trying to sleep and all you hear is Treat Me Like a Slut blasting at full volume at Swerve's. There's like fifteen people out in the halls drunk off their asses shooting at each other with lasers and screaming (Whirl and Rodimus started it.) Magnus walks out of his hab to deal with the noise and they all scatter like roaches

Swerve: What’s it like being tall? Is it nice? Can you reach comfortably for anything?
Cyclonus: We live in constant fear of the short ones who, in my experience, will climb four chairs, two boxes, a small coffee table, and six oddly placed stools to get what they want.
Tailgate: It was one time!

Apparently I never posted my Beloved Minicon;
Barbiegirl
Barbiegirl (she/her) is vain and fun. Think of the stereotype of a 2000s era popular girl. Her life in plastic IS fantastic! She's a teen queen. Shes that girl. She's everything.
She could also be considered a botbot I guess. I KNOW thats not the same as a minicon but I made this character like 2 years ago so don't get too caught up in the logistics. I picture her standing at around 1ft tall, but I guess she could be anywhere between 8inches to 2ft tall.
BG is quickly becoming a fan favorite on Art-fight. So I was reminded that I should probably share her with Tumblr aswell~ 💖
