Your gateway to endless inspiration
I have this little headcanon that sometimes some of Starscream's limbs just randomly fall of cause there's only so much one can endure without their body completely failing. And due to the extensive damage he can't feel it so he doesn't realise.
Like he's trying to act cool posing and all and then clank he's arm is on the floor.
I headcanon that Armada Starscream can't read properly and even then the only words he can read are apart of battle strategies.
And then in Cybertron Starscream learns literally every language (speaking, writing, reading being absolutely perfect) that exists cause he remembers how he barely knew one and it's super humiliating.
Imagine Starscream learning about human behaviour and mostly the internet.
And not on the 'aww he secretly still has a heart of gold' (honestly hate that). I mean in a way he only did it cause he was bored and only had human internet available.
And also for new insults he can use on Megatron without being understood so he can get away with it (he still gets abused cause Meg knew what he said was an insult) and cause when he says Cybertronian insults to humans they don't understand. He's just stepping up his roast battle game.
And soon others join in because they can't let Starscream have all the fun. And then Autobots (I know they hang out with humans but I think that they didn't dig into the 'mean' stuff) join in cause the battlefield was starting to be dominated by the decepticons due to the enormous metal damage.
And that's how all Cybertronians started to use human insults. Yeah I headcanon this now
