Being Ace, Biro, I appreciated hearing the headcanon of Star being aro ace. I dunno it just seems to make sense and I... get it? So yea, thank you :3
You’re welcome and thank you too! I definitely think it makes sense for him. I dunno, he just seems like he’s not interested in those kinds of relationships, and is perfectly happy not to be. He’s got plenty of other aspects to his character - more than most, in fact. I’m always glad to hear from other people who appreciate this headcanon, since I used to get a lot of pushback on it when I started my blog. It was very weird. I guess maybe people wanted someone to RP ships with? Who knows. But anyway, yes! My Starscream is as aro ace as they come.
When merBee tries to be serious and flirt will he flex and pose for Charlie? Like.... he is cinnamon roll and 90% innocent... surely he has that sly, suave, or even cocky streak every now and then? Probably saw it in a movie and thought it was cool?
Bee is more of an excited and shy flirt. A little cautious, eager, and earnest because of their species difference and his lack of being able to speak to her because of his throat injury. But his confidence grows the closer they get. I think I mentioned in a previous ask months ago that he DOES show off when he’s in the water and likes doing elaborate moves to impress her which are also unknowingly to her, some mating dances that goes over her head. He definitely is not subtle in expressing his affection once he’s sure she’s receptive. And of course Bee is definitely smug about the fact that Charlie is his if anyone asks.
Like here’s the thing, I don’t ship? Like I only ship KOBD and even then I just enjoy many ships? Like, it’s so stress free, if others wanna boohoo over it then that’s their own energy. I do hold a fondness toward starsky though. The winged nerds
Yeah! I don’t ship very much honestly, just SkyStar, Ratchma, StarJack, that’s p much it. And if someone hates those ships, I don’t really care, like that’s not my problem. But don’t go into other people’s inboxes to start shit like the anon did, smfh
❤ : What are your muse’s thoughts on love? If they are not in a relationship, do they believe that they will ever find a perfect someone for them? (Additionally: familial love or platonic love? Or love for something and not someone?)
Cirrus understands love pretty much in a familial context. It’s a word he applies to Shockwave and Starscream, signifying his connection to them, and his desire to learn from them and make them proud. He feels much closer to them than simply a mentor type relationship - he considers them family. It really hurts him that he can’t be around Shockwave and spend time with him the way he does with Starscream. He’s beginning to understand some of the bittersweet aspects of his feelings, such as his growing realization that both Starscream and Shockwave have done terrible things, and continue to struggle with their past. He’s had friction with Starscream in particular, and has even felt it’s hard to like Starscream sometimes, but he sees love as a reason to find ways to support him and help everyone get better. His greatest desire is for everyone he cares about to be together, and he has no idea just how impossible that might be.
Cirrus also loves his friends, and wants to gain skills to help them too. He knows the war affected everyone, and he wants to do his part to help them have a new life, and even to take his turn to fight if they need him.
He recognizes Starscream’s love for Vos, and takes pride in his contributions toward rebuilding. Cirrus’s love for Vos originated in his admiration of Starscream, but he increasingly feels a sense of ownership and pride all his own.
As for romance, Cirrus hasn’t even considered it. It hasn’t come up, and it’s not something prevalent in the culture he’s being raised in. It’s not an important aspect of Cybertronian society, and he doesn’t really understand what little he has seen in earth media on the internet. He’s never considered if he’ll one day have a relationship like that, or any sort of formalized relationship at all, even a platonic one. The only one he’s considered is a Trine, and he knows he doesn’t want one. He feels a tremendous amount of anxiety around the whole idea of Trines, and often gets a horrible feeling when other Seekers talk about them, sometimes leading to periods of extended loneliness, anxiety, and depression. He thinks maybe he feels pressured, even though he knows he won’t be expected to Trine if he’s not an Air Command officer, which he’s not interested in anyway. He just wants to figure out his place in the world on his own, and have normal friends.
