wanted to draw Tarn with Pharma as his waiter
tired: making 'haha mpreg' jokes about the Weird Pregnancy Stuff in mtmte/idw, betraying the fact you think 'robots undergoing objectively insane levels of Weird Pregnancy Body Horror Metaphor despite being literally inorganic' is less worthy of mention than 'and some of them use he/him! freak shit!'
wired: hey so when are we gonna use the existence of functionism as a metaphor for labour and class to discuss that rung being literally built to Make People in a way that the comic presents as frightening and confusing is a way to talk about how we can bring the concept of reproductive labour into the fold eh
Sibling Dance - Lost Light Animatic
I was not thinking as I made this. I was certainly laughing though
LITERALLY THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYINGGG
I see one more short character being treated like a baby by the fandom I may not survive
they probably are older than the main characters! Bumblebee was in Sublevel 50 for who knows how long and Tailgate was underground for like six million years
Justice for Bumblebee and Tailgate Fr
>_>
Gonna start actually posting my animatics on here
Have some silly Pharma
Sunder is so silly <3
I’m not the first person to say this, but mischaracterization of Bumblebee in the TFONE fandom is honestly kind of crazy.
The infantilization aspect of it is really problematic, because it treats a full-grown man like the “kid” of the group. Bumblebee’s been slotted into this role because he’s often depicted as playing a son-like role to Optimus, which I of course *love,* generally speaking, but that’s not the role they went with in this movie, and B is still getting slotted into this role.
But in TFONE, B is actually quite possibly older than Orion Pax and D-16. We don’t know, but he’s been in Sublevel 50 for so long, he very well could be, and there’s nothing at all suggesting he’s younger than them.
Unlike in other iterations, B isn’t an “apprentice” to Optimus, either. He’s been at his side since *before* the Autobots were founded, which, since the Autobots will no doubt continue for millions of years, establishes him as a senior Autobot, not the “new kid” role he usually plays, either.
Then there’s B’s personality. B is talkative and energetic and eager to make new friends. He’s the comic relief character, which casts him in a less serious tone, but certainly not that he’s a kid. Orion doesn’t play a mentoring role to him throughout the movie, nor do any of them try to manage or babysit him. He’s an equal part of the group, even if he feels less “mature” because of his talkative personality.
B can also be read as neurodivergent, which makes the infantilisation of him in the fandom more problematic, since it treats hyperactivity and other traits found in neurodivergent *adults* as “kid” traits.
Like, why is B interpreted as the kid of the dynamic? He’s the weird uncle they found in the basement, obviously.
Not to mention, B’s primary trait as the movie goes on is his violent tendencies. Based on the fandom, you’d guess he was the most innocent lil guy, when in the movie, he actively takes joy in creating chaos and going on violent outbursts.
While his violence is made out to be a joke in the movie, in a potential sequel I would *love* to see it taken seriously as a character flaw. B is unpredictable and chaotic, and this could make him hard to work with in the Autobot cause.
B’s violent tendencies are genuinely concerning; the amount of joy he gets from slicing drones in half and holding the security team at knife point is uncharacteristic of your usual Autobot hero, and I wish people would talk about that aspect of his character instead of downplaying it when he gets turned into a lil baby in the fandom.
It reminds me of the infantilization of Tailgate in the MTMTE fandom. He’s treated like a lil baby because he’s small and emotional. This sucks because
1) I’m short and I *hate* seeing physically small characters babified to an extent I know they never would be if they were the same height as the rest of the cast around them
2) it treats being emotionally vulnerable as “child-like,” when MTMTE literally makes a point about the fact that Tailgate is one of the only people who can healthily process his feelings, since he doesn’t have war PTSD, and crying and having other big shows of emotion aren’t childlike, it’s healthy.
3) not to mention that Tailgate was a victim of emotional manipulation. Infantilizing him treats him like he was “gullible” for being tricked when Getaway was literally painstakingly planning a longterm relationship to groom him. Don’t infantilize victims, it’s treats it was their fault for being manipulated and not the abuser… you know, manipulating them.
Tailgate also is powerful/violent like Bumblebee, and this similarity gets downplayed. I haven’t been in as much of the MTMTE fandom (I’m still reading Lost Light, and I’m trying to avoid spoilers) but I have seen the Tailgate infantilization to an extent, and the B infantilization is literally the only way I ever see B being treated by the fandom.
STOP TREATING GROWN MEN LIKE KIDS PLEEASSSEEE
I LOVE THEMMMM

Tarn wants one thing and it’s your organ
(Yeah his eyes are red but I already colored it and I don’t feel like changing it)
Two old men on a spaceship
Some unfinished MTMTE and TFP dragonformers.
Okay, okay.
I am Not one of those people who Just See two caracters together for a few seconds and goes "OH MY GOD THEY ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER" or do ships out of people that try to kill each other. But this is a ship that is very, very, very unpopular and nobody seems to See it.
I am talking of them.
Megatron and Velocity.
I know some will go "What do you See there? They are Just friends" And yeah, that is possible.
But Look how worried Velocity Looks at the dents in Megs head. Look how gently she touches them as if she was afraid to hurt him more. And how genuinly happy she Looks as Megs tells her that He is happy.
She is one of the only Bots on the Lost light that helps him because she wants to help. No orders, she helps him because she wants to. As Ratchet healed Megatron the last time, He was ordered to and seemingly hated every second of it.
But Velocity? She really takes her time to make Sure He is allright and does Not judge him for his past deeds as the other Bots on the Lost light, who literally wrote on Megatron's habsuite door that He is a murderer, killer and that they will kill him.
I Just feel a certain tension between them, and i really like that it could really be a romantic one.
Megs has suffered enough in his life, He should be able to be happy and loved by somebody. And in my eyes, Velocity should be the one to Do so
... And come on their Shipname could be Velocitron that's Just funny-

somehow i ended up in ios notes welp. this is my life now
requests are open, yes? Could you draw Rung from MTMTE? I'd love to see him in ur style!! No pressure ofc :D <333
Rung, my boy!!! The only therapist i would trust at this point.
someone requested me to draw Rung i think i can't think clearly after the work day and the only thing i came up with today is this
(my friend i promise you i will draw you a proper Rung request. my brain has rotted i can't stop laughing at my own joke)
Heard you had tf drawing requests open anddd I’d love love love to see ratchet or drift in your style! :>
OKAY I FINALY GOT TO REQUESTS
I love them so much actually, I need to draw them more (gladly, there are more than one requests for dratchets in my ask box lol)
Omg I love all of these! 🩷
As for who would sing them from the non-Deception (or ex-Deception) side of things in IDW—may I nominate Cyclonus, Impactor, Terminus, Drift, Rodimus, Pipes, Swerve, Brainstorm, Rewind, Riptide, The Scavengers, and Thuderclash? :D
Also, I feel like Megatron would know the all the folk songs from the mines/gladiatorial pits as well, but is too reserved to sing. However, a passerby might hear him humming their tunes under his breath…
I’d like to hear y’all takes on this too!
The last post I reblogged about folk songs made me wonder what Cybertronian folk songs would be like and I have some proposals:
We Are Iacon and We Are The Best Because Primus Loves Us
Fuck You Iacon, You Pricks
We Are Vos and We Are the Best Because We Can Fly, Fuck You
Vos Sucks But We Hate Iacon More
Polyhex Sucks, But At Least We Aren't Kaon
Kaon Sucks, But At Least We Aren't Tarn
Tarn Sucks, But At Least We Have Booze and Cybersheep
Iacon Took Our Cybersheep And Now We're All Stuck Working In Mines, What The Fuck
Working In a Mine Sucks, Let's Get Drunk And Sing In Secret
The Lunar Colonies Are Cold And Lonely, But They're Home
The Rust Sea Is Beautiful, But Don't Go In There, It's Scary
I Went In And It Was Scary, Also I Might Be Married To A Sea Monster
My Lover Drives Fast, They Are So Sexy
My Lover Flies Fast, They Are So Sexy
My Lover Swims Fast, They Are So Sexy
My Lover Is From Another Caste So We Can't Be Together, I Hope We Can Reunite In the Allspark, In The Meantime I'm Really Sad
We Kicked Those Quintessons Asses, We Are Awesome
Oh Shit They Came Back
A Very Long Song About How Awesome Each of The Primes Were (But If You Actually Listen You'll Notice They All Did Fucked Up Stuff)
I Made a Deal With Unicron, Sure Hope This Doesn't Backfire
It Backfired
My blorbos in no particular order.
I want to put them all in a jar and shake them up like a snow globe. (Affectionate) 💖
OMG, can I say that I love this so much? Thank you so much milliebellae!!!!
Hello love! I was wondering if I may have a picture of me giving lots of love to Rung. If I was a human in the Lost Light, I would correct everyone who say his name wrong, show him how awesome he is to boost his confidence, and every chance I get, I would love to call him gorgeous. ( # trying to win his heart) Plus, I really want to try out model ship building with him since, I'm a muralist, so I do have a artsy side of me. (fluffy love)
“How gorgeous!”
“Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy my work”
“Yes but that’s not the only thing I’m talking about~”
“…….”
“…oH..”
Transformers MTMTE
↳ Rung
Rung gave a whole new meaning to “God is my therapist”
S/o waking up Rung:
As the time for Rung to wake up came, s/o looks upon his sleeping face and smiles. Leaning down, s/o starts to kissing him on his cheek and as they move to their forehead, as Rung starts to awaken, his smiles knowing that his s/o was there whispering to him softly saying, ‘‘Hello sweet spark, it’s time to get up…’’ and at that moment then, Rung knew he was the most happiest bot ever because no matter what happens, his s/o would give him love that would surpass any cupid and for the first time, he found a person that would never forget him…..and how to pronounce his name....
How does MTMTE Rung react to his human S/O constantly showering him with love and affection?
This is the best thing to happen to him, and a lot hasn’t happened
They are the therapist’s therpy
He never wants this to end and his favorite is to hold them close to his chasis over night.
Don’t leave him, he might break if they leave, then he will need therpy
