A (non-exhaustive) list of my favourite moments and things from Logical Proposals by @vivificanousprime which you should all go read, spoilers below

Shockwave just wanting to talk about his maritime plants whilst Soundwave has a crisis about intimacy before marriage. I like to think Shockwave did get to finish talking about wet plants at some point and everything he had to say was fascinating

The discussion between Soundwave and some of the cassettes regarding Senator Shockwave. I adored the way it was handled especially Soundwaves chat with Shockwave regarding it and Shockwaves only request being that the separation of the Senator and him as well as his statement of “My creations have a right to all knowledge”

Every time Megatron gets his ass kicked by Soundwave, it’s deserved every time

Shockwaves parenting in general, he’s trying his best and I love that for him especially the way he adapts for each individual kids needs

Shockwaves sketchbook dedicated to his family and their various expressions, I love the way his struggle with processing and understanding emotions is written

Shockwave deleting his memories and then being shocked that he didn’t notice Elita

Starscream calling Ratbat ugly unprovoked, like??? That’s a baby??? Calm down??? And Soundwaves response that he’s uglier, I love petty coworker nonsense

The family days out to the hill with the temple (at least I’m fairly certain it’s the same location) it’s very cute, I love the way domestic moments are written in this fic

The code number for earth being dirt, it’s just really funny to me

Soundwave and his elephants! I love Soundwave and his elephants! And he can talk to them!

Shockwave and Soundwave figuring out sharing a bed and cuddling was absolutely adorable, that entire scene in chapter eight was wonderful (funnily enough the same chapter with the wet plants)

This list is just off the top of my head so there’s probably a lot that I’ve missed off and will probably add on my next re-read.

#transformers #you don’t understand how much this fic means to me #I adore it #it makes me so sad at the same time but the angst is exquisitely written #soundwave #shockwave #wavewave

okok so this isn't exactly coswave related, but i love your soundwave sm. would you happen to have any hcs about soundwave and ravage and their dynamic?? btw i love your art and im eating it nom nom

YES LETS FUCKING GOOO you have no idea how much I love soundwave and cassette relationships so THANK YOU FOR ASKINGGG

Cassette and carrier dynamics are very unique and fluid depending on the mechs involved. Every carrier has a different dynamic, so it’s not always a “parent/child” “boss/grunt” or etc etc kinda dynamic.

The relationship between cassette and carrier oftentimes transcends our understanding of relationships.

For soundwave and his cassettes, the dynamic is very very close and friendly! They love eachother and protect eachother but there’s no designated caregiver—the role is often stepped into, so it’s very malleable and sort of depends on the circumstances. With that being said though, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a subtle hierarchy.

Soundwave was found by Ravage, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw in the Dead End and the four (Rav and the birds were already in a mutually beneficial arrangement) eventually formed a very strong bond. Ravage is kinda the head honcho—she’s not the boss per se (that title affectionately goes to Soundwave) but she ensures safety and security for the pack. Ravage’s approval is generally a MUST for anything to happen.

Soundwave rarely goes anywhere without Ravage. If Soundwave is present, it is an almost guarantee that ravage is somewhere close by. If Ravage isn’t available, Buzzsaw and Laserbeak will be (note: rumble and frenzy also have a strong bond with soundwave but they tend to be more independent from the carrier. They still love and protect eachother, but they’re speciality is more like the horrible roommates who help soundwave blow stuff up).

Ravage is a very tactile mech, believe it or not. She’s either wound around soundwaves ankles, perched on his shoulder, or in his lap. Touch was grounding for Soundwave during their time in the Dead End and old habits are hard to break (ie ravage refuses to stop).

Ravage grooms like a cat. She’ll wrestle soundwave to the ground to groom her face. The birds aren’t safe either. She’ll grab them out of the sky and sit on them to groom them. Rumble and frenzy are about the same size as Ravage (she’s a big girl) so she tackles them easy. Nobody is safe.

Soundwave has cat tendencies bc of ravage. His tape deck whrrs when he’s happy/content and it resembles a purr (he learned early on that it’s a calming gesture and an easy way to calm ravage down, later learning that it works for the other cassettes as well. Now it’s more subconscious than anything else). They also headbutt to show affection—a rare occurrence outside of their cassettes—but they’ll bump their head against the birds if they’re on her shoulder or gently headbutt one of the twins after a particularly difficult battle.

If Ravage is pissed off she gets petty. She’ll hide your stuff, she’ll tear stuff up, try to ‘accidentally’ trip you, etc etc. and honestly Soundwave can also get petty. They’re no better than she is. When they get into arguments it’s horrible for everyone around.

Small coswave note: ravage knew soundwave had a crush on cosmos before soundwave even did. She stalked cosmos obsessively and made note of every little way he acted around soundwave. Only the best for her kit (don’t worry, she begrudgingly approved eventually)

That’s all I can think of right now but yeah they mean. So much to me. THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I LOVE THESE AND ENJOY YOUR ART MEAL EEHEHE ❤️❤️❤️🛸🛸

#transformers #soundwave #cassettes #I like this op #I like this a lot #I have the image that occasionally Soundwave gets ask to go on a mission and he’s like ‘damn that’s sound kinda wild lemme go ask Ravage’ #‘Ravage said no’ #or something that reminds people the cat is in charge

It’s all fun and games until Ratbat corrects the Decepticon expenses spreadsheet to Megatrons face (and probably the Autobots one too)

Megatron: As a child of my dear Soundwave, you are an addition to a long list of excellent spies, warriors, and scientists. What do you do? Ratbat:

#how did he get the autobots expense’s spreadsheet you ask? #he’s Soundwaves son and unfortunately they tend to just be like that #transformers #ratbat #logical proposals #<— if you haven’t read this fic already go read it #it’s heart wrenching but I adore it #video

Rumble apologise to your mother this instant

#transformers #soundwave #rumble #we love a single dad trying his best #op your mind

[violets-arepurple]

He spoke once in the entire show just to tell everyone he’s better than them

The “Soundwave: Superior” scene in Prime is iconic for many reasons, however it will never fail to get me that Bulkhead’s first reaction when Soundwave crashes his own drives and falls unconscious is to assume that he just fucking killed himself. There is zero doubt in his mind that Soundwave would rather voluntarily die than give up Decepticon secrets, and I really think that says a lot about prime!Soundwave.

#soundwave #transformers prime #Prime Soundwave was a problem fr #they had to send him to another plain of existence just to stop him #they managed to kill Megatron but not him

[violets-arepurple]

Starscream canonically considers the cassettes Soundwave's children.

#transformers #soundwave #starscream #the cassettes #i’m not tagging them all #soundwave would return more powerful and his kids more deranged #and if starscream calls you crazy that says something #I love a single dad and his unhinged children

[violets-arepurple]

I mostly forgot that Soundwave was canonically telepathic and may i mention just how damn annoying/scary that must be as a Decepticon, knowing your TIC can literally read minds somewhat.

I can say as someone who will worry about telepaths for a split second before remembering that they don't exist, there's definitely going to be a few mecha who get SUPER paranoid about the most petty of shit.
