Sdw but he's surrounded by all of the things he's been gifted by Starscream before they broke up. It's small things like snacks, blankets, books, etc. He can't bring himself to get rid of it though, he feels that it'd be strange knowing they're no longer around. Starscream feels he's surrounded by too many reminders of SDW, even if the resemblance isn't there.
They both refuse to remove whatever makes them think of the other or try to call each other again to speak because it'll only end up a disaster like always —it's better this way. Right?
Writing a head-banging miscommunication plot is my speciality when it comes to soundstar (Read: I'm also banging my head because of them but at least I'm ahead of the game, the game being them interacting peacefully for once after 40k words of screaming: WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS BABES PLS)
this is basically me writing my current WIP for SoundStar or anything related to writing basically, my process is truly just:
me: *squinting at the screen* Now why are you guys throwing tomatoes at each other... *goes back to typing so scene includes more tomato throwing and giggles*
when fanfic authors say that they don’t decide what happens in the story that the characters make the decisions i imagine it like this:
writer: *sitting down* type type type type *squinting at the screen* type type type
writer: *gasp* WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT…… type type type
