NOTES: This is unfortunately the last of the notes I had written ahead of time so things may move slower. Hopefully I've made enough posts that you all can understand the format I'm going for. Joyce's Reality Lowdown is going to take a long time to work through

Shivers - Winter, slow to let go of Revachol, flecks some more wet snow from above...

You - Look around you.

Shivers - The snow falls lazily, making the beach sand paler still, mixing with the rust-coloured sewage run-off.

Shivers - And to think -- it seemed as though it were already spring.

You - How does it feel?

Shivers - Your teeth chatter as the snow melts on your exposed skin, running down your chest and your back in icy rivulets. To distract yourself, you look around...

Replaced with "Your teeth chatter as the snow melts on your exposed skin, running down your chest and your back in icy rivulets. The toes of your one bare foot are growing numb. To distract yourself, you look around..." if HasShoes() == false and (CheckEquipped("shoes_snakeskin_left") or CheckEquipped("shoes_snakeskin_right"))

Replaced with "Your teeth chatter as the snow melts on your exposed skin, running down your chest and your back in icy rivulets. Your bare feet are growing numb. To distract yourself, you look around..." if HasShoes() == false

You - What's in the west?

Shivers - More winding coastline lined with abandoned buildings. Crumbling piers, salt water lapping at their dark piles. Grey and red, forgotten city blocks. What remains of the pre-revolutionary effort to gentrify the coast.

You - And beyond that?

Shivers - The waters turn black. Coal City in the shadow of Saint-Martin, a boom town, back when coal extracted from countless shafts near the city was needed to power Revachol.

Shivers - No more. The coal was supplanted by petroleum from the ocean floor and hydropower from the Esperance. Everything crumbled. These days, only the weakest remain in Coal City. Their hopes of getting rich linger in the defunct shafts under their feet.

You - What is there?

Shivers - Below the old mines -- L'Ossuaire Municipal, Revachol's underground cemetery. *Les petits rats* brave the underground passageways, trying to get to Le Royaume...

You - Le Royaume...

Shivers - ...where the Filippian kings were interred, with their doctors and their admirals. Mausoleums, burial chambers, leaf gold still remains on the Double Door of the Morning.

You - That's where Cuno said he's gonna go...

Shivers - Yes. To peel the gold off with his fingernails.

You - Les *petits rats*...

Shivers - Children under 14. They go underground, looking for artefacts to sell to foreign museums -- and for fabled relics. Their parents let them. They go deeper...

You - Deeper...

Shivers - ...after rubies, melchiorite, lapis lazuli plundered from Safre and Seol during the time of the Suzerain. In the burial chambers of the kings: Grand Old Filippe, Guillaume II, and even in the mausoleum of Filippe the Opulent.

Shivers - Two kilometres underground, in a winding shaft along whose walls mirrors have been placed so that daylight may eternally fall upon the richest of all the kings.

Shivers - The mausoleum contains untold quantities of gold -- and that special, purest-of-the-pure magenta cocaine favoured by Revacholian royalty.

Electrochemistry - Did someone say *untold quantities of cocaine*? Drop everything immediately and go looking for this hoard!

Logic - How can it be pure if it's magenta?

You - Wipe the snow from your shoulder.

Shivers - Few *petits rats* return from the shafts -- and even fewer find what they're looking for. A small child steps out of a black tunnel, with silver trinkets in her pockets.

Shivers - All around her, white snow on the extinguished coke furnaces, and on the weather-worn shacks, where fathers beat their sons after drinking. The snow melts on your fingers, turning to water.

You - What's in the east?

Shivers - The canal you crossed to get here, and beyond it -- Martinaise proper, the district the police forgot to police. There is laughter, lights, attempts at entrepreneurial activity, cynicism.

Shivers - Someone is scraping snow off their windshield. At the roundabout, in the midst of which a statue of Filippe the III serves as a destination for grade-school field trips and a fine perch for winter birds.

You - And further...

Shivers - A fenced-off yard. There's a truck belonging to a logistics company parked next to the gate. Bright light from a building behind the fence reflects off its hood.

Replaced with "A fenced-off yard. There's a truck belonging to a logistics company parked next to the gate. You've seen it. Bright light from a building behind the fence reflects off its hood." if Variable["jam.dlc_truck_shivers_orb_done"]

Replaced with "A fenced-off yard. There's a truck belonging to a logistics company parked next to the gate. You've heard about it. Bright light from a building behind the fence reflects off its hood." if Variable["village.idiot_cocaine_dlc"]

Conceptualization - Clean white light, coming from the windows of a clean cube-shaped office building hidden amidst ruins. A secret...

You - What's in the north?

Shivers - The abandoned church. One of two remaining stave churches which were collectively called les Sept Soeurs. The other six sisters were destroyed during the Revolution.

You - And further north?

Shivers - A serpentine strip of land weaving its way into the Martinaise inlet. Unfortunates on the run -- from the law, from themselves -- sometimes hide out on nearby islets. Little dots in the ocean that are occasionally submerged when the tide is high and the weather foul.

You - And on the islets?

Shivers - The remains of a camp on a jagged piece of rock -- a tent, old dishes and cutlery. Long since abandoned. A hermit crab scuttles among the debris, looking for a new shell.

Shivers - Further out, the lights burn bright on Résurrection; way beyond Martinaise -- a popular spa destination for ample-bodied Ozonne kids with equally ample pockets.

You - And on the other side of the inlet?

Shivers - Then there's Ozonne... but the snow falls too thick. You cannot see that far.

You - Before that? Before the curtains are drawn...

Shivers - The Bay of Revachol, vastness, great depth -- over 1200 m at its deepest. Water, air brinier than here. It is crisscrossed by huge cargo ships bearing company logos: Wild Pines, ZAMM, Moriyn.

Shivers - And, at the farthest reaches of the Bay of Revachol -- the shadow of Coalition Warship Archer, on perpetual patrol duty, ready to unleash artillery fire if you were to rise up against the market. You shudder.

You - What's in the south?

Shivers - The raised motorway, 8/81, separating Martinaise from Jamrock. Vehicles whoosh past one another day and night, while those who reside in the labyrinthine alleyways beneath the motorway attempt to carry on with their lives in the snow and the slush. And south of the 8/81 is the Pox.

You - The Pox...

Shivers - ...was once a park, a place for reflection and recuperation for the patients of the Old Military Hospital. In the Twenties, it was used as a quarantine centre during a measles outbreak that killed many children. Most everyone has avoided the hospital and surrounding park ever since.

Shivers - The Pox is completely wild now. Evergreen thickets covered in snow and industrial dust. Feral dogs and even wolves roaming in packs. The police try to keep the deepest corners cordoned off.

You - But still...

Shivers - ...heavy drug users do slip through and hole up in the Old Military Hospital, hoping to find something to get high on among the hastily abandoned supplies. Or just to overdose in peace.

You - Further south...

Shivers - A line of motor garages with armoured carapaces, hunched in the cold. A mechanic is hard at work, patching up bullet holes in the side of a Coupris 40. These are the garages of Precinct 41. Snow settles on the roof of the re-purposed silk mill that serves as your station. Shivering RCM personnel hurry in and out of the main entrance.

Mack Torson - "Wonder if Vic's found his hetero-sexual life partner yet." The man in the fishnet wifebeater looks over at Chester McLaine.

Chester McLaine - "Damn, I don't know. Even a real *bröderbund* like that can't survive everything..."

Shivers - Around you, the snow continues to fall. To the west, the ocean swells.

You - No, it was home. I want more.

Shivers - The stairs descend -- to Central Jamrock. A man named Kuklov has a snow-covered stall there, in the market across the bridge. He sells kebab infested with fly larvae to your colleagues who believe eating it will make them immune to food poisoning.

Shivers - Snow falls on the utility district: the library, the florist, the Saramirizian restaurant that offers homemade wine. And also on the brothels and drug dens, and the chop shops of the zemlyaki.

Shivers - All of this built around a lake that formed in a meteorite strike. At the centre of this lake, there is a little ship. There are lights at the bottom of its hull. They are lights directed toward the sea floor, looking for something, like whiskers...

You - For what?

Shivers - A chill comes over you, crawling down your back. The sand under your feet is wet. Somewhere in the south, tarpaulin flap in the wind.

You - What's below me?

Shivers - Layer upon layer of sand poisoned with industrial run-off. The storm drainage. Hidden bunkers. Rats scuttle...

You - Tell me a secret of the sands, wind.

Shivers - Someone's stuffed a big old polar anorak into a concrete pipe under the boardwalk. It would keep you warm. You will probably never happen across it, but who knows.

You - Stomp your feet for warmth, brushing off the snow. [Finish thought.]

Kim Kitsuragi - "We should keep moving. Who knows when this snow will let up?"

Just having fun with the Chibi Versions of Nomad (My OC) & Soprano (SuperSpinoGaming from YT) where in lore The Nomad Clan have fights, it’s either to settle disputes or to challenge leadership for a new one….and with Nomad as the current leader….and the leading cause of death is too prideful to submit….you better believe Nomad not gonna give it up so willingly.

(Also Art of Chibi Nomad was made by both @black-suns-rim & @chopshop-creationz , as for Soprano was made by his amazing wife BATTERYBEAST_)

Insecticons x F! Reader HCs

Help.

[A/n: i like the G1 designs and voices, but i like the hivemind concept and neutral kind of role they play in tfp, so this is a combo of both.

Yall met when one was curious and tried talking to you. You tried to mimic his weird beetle noises, then you got to know the hive and befriend them, then one thing led to another and boom.

You are now the Beetle Queen.

They all love you dearly

Just please be kind to these bug lovelies

Lots of bug cuddles every single day

In fact, they barely let you get up at all, they want you to rest, even if you're perfectly healthy.

They don't really have proper mouths in their alt modes so they just nuzzle you to simulate a kiss.

They don't really grasp the concept of the human economy so they just randomly bring things they think you'll like. Whether it be an outfit, a plushie, an instrument, pretty much anything unless it is deemed unsafe.

They treat you like the Queen you are.

And since they're a hivemind, if you tell one of them something, the rest of them now know as well

You say something about liking worms on a string to Kickback? The hive brings you a whole box of em they got from a nearby Amazon warehouse.

You ramble about a hyperfixation of yours to Shrapnel? Cool! Everyone else knows now too.

You tell Chopshop about something thats been bothering you? They all know.

They feed you your favorite snacks, even if you aren't hungry they'll bring you something.

The Insecticons are very territorial over you.

Both Autobots and Decepticons are sent aggressive warnings and clicks if they come too close.

If they don't heed those warnings or try to get near without asking you for permission first... oh boy. Lets just say, thats one less Cybertronian fighting in the war.

If you do authorize them coming close, then they back off, but their guards are still up. For good reason too.

If you wanna go for a walk, then at least one of them is following to make sure you're safe.

They think you're the most gorgeous thing in the galaxy.

They treat you like glass due to how small you are compared to them.

Nicknames include; Our Queen, Our Spark, Sweetspark, Ladybug, and Snugglebug.

The Insecticons pick you up by their mandibles in their alt modes, otherwise, you're carried like a baby.

They fly you anywhere you wanna go. But sometimes they just go ahead and fly you somewhere. Kinda like a date.

Your birthday is a big thing for them.

Its is today that you, their Queen, came into existence, how can they not be excited?!

Ofc yall celebrate their birthdays too, but they want yours to be big. Even if you get flustered or feel bad that you can't throw a party as big for them as well.

Big snuggle piles.

One of them rolls on his back and puts soft things on its stomach, another puts you on said soft things and tucks you in, then literally every single one of them joins you.

They're everywhere, next to you, above you, at your feet, on your torso, everywhere. They are careful not to squish you though.

Grab headphones for late May and early June. You'll need it.

These bitches do mating calls all the way until 3 in the damn morning 🤣

Its literally the song of their people. I'm not even saying that as a joke (not intentionally at least Lmao).

For them its one big Cybertronian love sonnet.

You don't have the heart to tell them that you just hear a cacophony of noise.

In Autumn, the amount of snacks they bring you increase by... quite a bit. Even if you're not hungry.

Explain Halloween to them, they'll love it. They don't get why Trick or Treat-ing is a thing but they like seeing you skipping around in your costume.

Thanksgiving is fun with them if you celebrate it. Say you're thankful for them, they will absolutely melt.

In the winter though, they all snuggle close to you and vibrate in an attempt to keep you warm underneath all the blankets they covered you with.

Remember all of those snacks they brought even if you weren't hungry? This is where that comes in since its a bit too cold to go out.

They will celebrate Christmas with you though. (If you celebrate that is.)

They don't really know what its about or why you're decorating a tree or why you're putting their leaf-wrapped gifts and these weird boxes under it, but if you're happy then so are they.

Same goes for literally every other holiday, sometimes they understand, sometimes they don't, but either way they wanna see you happy and join in on your festivities.

To wrap things up, your buggie boyfriends love you with all their sparks, and they want you to know that.

Thanks for Reading

Requests are closed, srry yall

Can you tell us about your dratchet baby Pharma fic idea? I can't find you talking about it anywhere else and it sounds interesting

Here's the initial link:

I've thought about this more and have a lot more details now. Enjoy the word explosion you are about to get Anon.

So lets start with the divergence that leads to Pharma being born.

It is in a story that set off a bigger AU and funnily enough it is definitely Springer's fault since he is doing the timeline meddling he promised.

It starts with this random green guy (Springer) saving Drift and Gasket and their friends before disappearing like some storybook hero recommending that Drift take his friend to a doctor. The group splits up to lay low and Drift remembering Ratchet takes Gasket to him. Ratchet fixes him up but catches something bigger he agrees to treat. It requires Gasket stay a few days and Drift stays beside him hovering protectively and Ratchet lets him sleep in the small attached apartment. Slowly the two of them relax and confirm Ratchet is actually honest and sincere.

Drift keeps insisting on cleaning which flusters Ratchet who isn't used to the help.

Drift feeling bad for him after he hears that people aren't coming which is causing issues because the statistics show it isn't being used so his backers are uninterested. He tells Drift not to worry, he'll keep it open with his own money if he has to. Drift after thinking decides to make sure everyone knows and graffitis the place with a "safe place" mark. Ratchet arrives in the morning and is upset but then Drift explains. His clinic is viewed with thinly veiled distrust and used mainly by the desperate as most similar clinics are covers for organ dealers. Ratchet hears that everyone thought he was a chopshop and is genuinely distressed.

Ratchet doesn't clean it and sure enough some people start coming. Drift starts helping with simple repair and assistant work. Gasket doesn't want to do nothing so Ratchet, insisting he still needs rest, trains him on intake and he works the front desk and records. Gasket is a trusted face and his warm demeanor is helpful in further reassuring everyone it is fine.

He is also the one who calls Ratchet out on any classist or unintentional Functionist comments he makes because Drift is kind of starry eyed phase currently and just taking them. Ratchet learns and he in Drift start to get more comfortable with Gasket giving them a knowing look though he is keeping a sharp eye on Ratchet.

I'm going with Drift was religious so when things are going well he uses his first paycheck to actually go make a "proper" offering at the temple and pray there. Ratchet makes some comment and they argue a bit which makes Drift spiral with worry about getting them kicked out.

Ratchet has a "oh shit" moment realizing that he has power in this dynamic when Gasket, who doesn't fear anything and has been carefully making sure they had backup since the clinic gave him a moment to breath, which makes him uncomfortable.

He gives Drift keys to the clinic and the deed to the attached apartment nearby guaranteeing that he cannot just kick them out and gets a contract to confirm it legally in a very unfavorable to Ratchet contract that he makes sure Drift has a copy of is registered in the system. Drift is wary and investigates himself, talking to Orion who introduces him to a lawyer named Minimus independently to review it and he finds out he legitimately has a home that cannot be taken from him.

Rachet is trying not to be too much and he and Drift eventually start arguing in a softer way when Drift is finally comfortable that it won't destroy anything. Things are taking a romantic turn and they are seeing each other and Ratchet starts spending the night. They still have some disagreements but are figuring out how to navigate them by themselves. Ratchet, though he still doesn't believe, is more comfortable with religion because it reminds him of Drift.

Orion Pax teases him about his new beau once but makes sure to keep a respectful distance as Drift and Gasket are a bit wary, though Drift warms up to him more when he recognizes him. Orion is actually the one who eagerly shares Megatron's writing with Drift. Decepticons are on the rise and Drift has taken an interest going to some speeches and meeting up with people to talk about it.

He even takes his time to write a response himself with his opinions which Gasket and Ratchet encourage. It gets some attention and he takes an active role in the local population with Gasket's philosophy about helping those closest to him, Drift starts organizing locally and helping others using the clinic apartment to help treat and teach and talk to people since it is a safe out of the way place. Ratchet doesn't disagree, not entirely, and covers for them when the cops come by which pretty much solidifies the "Doctor of Dead End's" reputation as decent.

Things escalate, of course, and Orion Pax drags Ratchet into his Matrix scheme. Senator Shockwave is introduced and takes an interest in Drift recognizing his name as their "local celebrity". Prowl and Chromedome also recognize it since Drift is apparently on a list now. Ratchet promises to be careful, but then Shockwave is taken and Orion Pax and his group are on the run. Things are cracking down and getting dangerous in Dead End, more than it already was. Ratchet isn't caught but he is interviewed and the cops come to turn over the clinic harassing them.

Things start to take a violent edge and Drift punches a cop and gets shot. He's alright but he is arrested and eventually released on bail. Then things escalate further and Alyon happens and Ratchet gets called to deal with the new sparks. He tells Drift what happens and he is encouraged to go.

This is the last time they see each other for a long time, because things escalate in the Dead End into a violent crackdown as the Dead End is being purged and Drift is caught in it and takes up arms, closing the clinic and joining in glad Ratchet isn't there.

Ratchet meanwhile is helping unload and care for the newborns getting them dispersed safely across various cities in Cybertron and discovers he is pregnant which is very illegal. He doesn't know if Drift is even alive after the Dead End Riots and hasn't been able to get ahold of him or find news so he keeps the baby and Pharma is born, registered as being from Alyon. He is holed up in Nyon's Acroplex working a new clinic that is even more illegal and definitely doesn't trust Zeta. Orion has the sense not to let Zeta in on all their secrets and doesn't say anything about Ratchet's location leaving Roller with him. Drift meanwhile is helping lead part of the infant Decepticon Movement and refuses to drag Ratchet into it even if he could find him.

And I will right more later. The quick summary is in the link though. This would basically be the end of Part I. It is a bit late so if anyone is interested I'll do a Part II later.

#pharma is dratchet baby au #anon ask #mtmte pharma #dratchet #drift #ratchet #surprise instead of shockwave everything is springer's fault #lotsa characters
