I Am Genuinely Tweaking

Soundwaves face? Starscream!? The overall interaction and expressions playing like a little film clip? Seeing it is driving me nuts (in a good way) because of how expressive they look and the shape of Starscream's pupils. He looks so—not torn necessarily by his conflicting emotions or whatever may have been running through his mind at this moment, but it could also be some inexcusable form of direct anger, rage, or something that demands a full case worth of effort (in his mind) has to be done by him because Soundwave won’t give up whatever information or bout of mental clarity was asked of him right now. He may already have his own suspicions, maybe already on what Soundwave's answer is, but it has to come from Soundwave to matter/be real enough to deal with the aftermath of all of this (like the answer will change anytime but what it really is).

The problem is: he's dealing with an insane little bat from hell who's also an insane little cryptic. He's not meant for this place or this type of interrogation/conversation, Starscream! Let him be insane sometimes!?Though goodness knows Starscream could always just be lost in the moment as to whatever caused such a ruthless action/response to Soundwave and finally came back to his senses when Soundwave finally looked him in the optics and said something. His little, "Oh no, what have I done!" moment of clarity makes me laugh almost; therein lies that little bit of realization and guilt, or not guilt; only Primus knows that he will justify it all in his spark and (maybe) try to make it up to Soundwave by telling him, "If you weren't so, I wouldn't have had to!! Not my fault!! 😭" He just deflects all blame while patching up the annoyed bat. At least give the cute hellbat a treat, Starscream, something to nibble on while his frame handles all the static charge, thinking about whatever his brain can conjure up now; it's hard to connect to another Cybertronian after experiencing immense horrors, okay!

✿ When I look at you, sometimes I question my own sanity. For you, I am the worst version of myself. For you, I am the best version of myself. Maybe as time passes, I will finally understand why re-visiting the tortured demise of our relationship was a disguised but held hope for more. ✿

Primus forbid a mech be a little bit insane from their own ability and the horrors of being in a horrible institute 😒 can’t do anything in Cybertron these days. This isn’t necessarily part of my continuity’s story cuz it doesnt really have one yet so just imagine whatever story you want for this tbh. Maybe you’d get some ideas

A bee and a gentle giant

This is how I imagine Soundwave handles Starscream when he's being difficult, it only works to a varying degree of success and depends on the universe 🤣

This one in specific is probably TFP and G1 given how their relationships span out in my writing on ao3

Though I could always argue that if ES Soundwave said down, ES Starscream would get down immediately and shut up (a mad wife is not to be messed with haha)

But seriously, you two should be proper adults and communicate instead of doing this. i'm sure once the shock of realizing what happened passes, they will and make up from whatever argument it was. But the seekers (TC, Skywarp, Nova Storm) will never let Starscream live this down (he lost the, 'no, i'm not whipped by Soundwave' argument in a sparkbeat)

like Starscream was probably arguing with Soundwave over something dumb (theyre married by now) and the girls are like, "ur not gonna grovel?!"

Starscream: ????? I HAVE PRIDE, THANK YOU-

Soundwave: GET DOWN NOW!!!

Starscream on his knees before he even realizes what happened and groveling

Soundwave: "…"

the girls: "…."

Starscream: "...." (he is as shocked as everyone else and confused why he's on the ground for soundwave, but if he runs now, then it's worse and soundwave will be more mad)

Forgot to take my cleratin today /ref

Shadow probably thinks he’s dying lmao
