Link with a gun makes me imagine that one vine but it's Zelda going "Show me what you have!" and Link runs past just "A GUN!" and she's just "NOOOO!"
I THOUGHT OF THAT TOO i’m so glad we share this connection…………… zelda chasing after a giggling gun-armed link
[EDIT] this is also very good w/ mipha chasing link
When they said Mollies eat their own young they were not kidding. They’re ravenous!
I had 3 mollies as a child, 2 girls and 1 boy. one of the girls and the boy eventually had babies, then the boy died...
and THEN the non-parental girl molly, whose name was Speckle, tried to eat the boy’s corpse before we got it out of the tank and then SUCCESSFULLY ate 99% of the baby mollies
Speckle was not one to be fucked with
I’m so into G1 ratchet and I don’t know why for some reason he’s just really attractive to me??
ooh baby.
/////sweats loudly
im going to fight @agatharights she has filled my soul with ANGUISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst case scenario: I pull another dog and I’m right.
What if skinny mole trepan still had the instinct to bury himself so he just has 8000 blankets n pillows to crawl under when he's sleepy
OH NNNNOOOOOOOOOO ;O;
I was wondering a while back and now I'm thinking about it again for obvious reasons but what makes beastformers different from standardformers in the Metamorphers AU? But a vague thought I had was that maybe it's not so much that they get way more "animal" when they transform, but that their "root mode" might actually be the animal form, and their "altmode" is the more humanoid form they have to learn to adopt? Or maybe instead of humanoid faces they have way more animal features idk im scream
I think those are both good ideas!! I thought on this for a sec and I definitely like the idea that they have more animal-like features - such as wet noses, more pronounced whiskers, slightly different limb configurations, etc. - but I also like the idea that it’s partly determined by what mode they’re born in!
the majority of non-beastformer Metamorphers are born in the bipedal form, but I imagine the majority of “beastmorphers” are born in their more animal-like form. and then, since that’s the first body they’ve been in when they’re children, that’s the form that they’re more comfortable in as an adult - and so their bipedal form becomes their “alt.”

Nakklepiggy’s faces are so beautiful and stylized and expressive I want to cry when I see them aaaaaaaaaaa
<3
I wrote this instead of doing my homework HAHAHA
this is all Agatha’s fault, she wrote a really sad thing about furry Cygate (CW for character death via suicide and the DJD >:’CCC), and since then this little idea’s been floating around in my brain. finally sat down and wrote it out this morning.
this is set about 3 or 4 years after the events of the fic above. CW for past character death and heavily implied depression.
---
It is morning, and it’s quiet. It’s always quiet in the mornings on this crowded little ship; though not for long, with all its occupants. Cyclonus is not sure when he woke up, but he wouldn’t be able to pinpoint it either way with all the quiet.
Holy shit
I have to destroy nakklepiggy
UH OH
any Tyrest that Agatha designs is always the Big Evil Sexy and I love it
i keep on imagining cyclonus reading that shitty fucking letter galvatron sent and dry heaving and making stupid faces because that’s exactly what I’m doing every time I think about it
congratulations @agatharights for writing The Creepiest Sentence
Galvatron somehow hears about the babies and manages to get a congratulatory letter through some connections to Cyclonus, but Cyclonus reads about three lines, comes across "I had always expected I would be the one to finally conquer your womb" and just burns the thing. Even if it's on a datapad like Cyclonus just straight up burns it like "no. Nope? Nope. "
holy shit that is the cREEPIEST FUCKING SENTENCE I’VE EVER READ GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE WITH THAT SHIT GALVATRON HHEUEUERRRGHHHHHH
Cyclonus reads that and snaps the datapad on instinct and then sets to burning it immediately, and Ultra Magnus finds out when the smoke alarms go off and is like WHYYYYYY I THOUGHT WE WOULD BE DONE WITH THIS SORT OF THING ONCE THEY WERE BORN!!
also Cyc eventually tells TG why he was so freaked out and then. Tailgate reaches across space-time to appear before Galvatron, and kick his ass for being such a fucking creep, like what the fuck, holy shit what!!! the fuck!!!!
More thoughts on @nakklepiggy ’s Metamorpher AU bc furry robots I guess
Is Minimus actually a minibreed, or a genuine runt? Like, can you imagine Rodimus casually mentioning him as a minibreed and Minimus just…awkwardly coughing and correcting him- if both his creators were larger breeds, his small size may be the result if natural genetic mutation or developmental issues.
I don’t really know what this would entail other than me thinking way too hard about if metamorphers exhibit random-mutation or recessive-gene dwarfism and Minimus having no small amount of issues potentially having been deemed “unfit” in a society literally built on genetic modification for utilitarian purposes.
Like holy eugenics, Batman
yaaaay terrifying metamorpher thoughts :D
Mins is definitely a genuine runt - his and Dominus’ parents were both much more average-sized. and yeah, metamorphers are pretty susceptible to random mutation and recessive genes popping up like weeds in the process.
and also, you got it! Minimus DID have no small amount of issues with being a tiny, tiny fellow in a society that would have deemed him unfit. Luckily for his continued survival, his family stuck it out for him and contributed to A) obfuscating his natural size once it became clear he wasn’t going to get bigger (mostly by hiding him from public view and circulating a cover story that he was very ill when pressed on it) and B) commissioning various biosuits for him to use as he got older, culminating in the ‘model’ that he wears now.
so yeah, for most of his life Minimus has been in and out of various biosuits, all built out of varying combinations of his and his brother’s DNA - in a bid that started as an attempt to keep him safe in a society that wouldn’t have accepted him, and that turned into a focus on being someone other than himself...
I drew a thing from @agatharights fic 8u8
small sleepy minimus bleps
Agatha I can’t believe how perfect that fic is, you did so good, it’s just so peRFECT
cyclonus having to steel himself to let the bb’s away from him........ tailgate being simultaneously super excited and SUPER nervous......................... rewind rubbing a bb on his face. minimus snuggling into the pile when he gets woken up.
it’s all just PERFECT
I keep imagining Starscream holding one of Cyc and TG’s babies for a brief photoshoot as part of his ploy to keep voter interest in this scenario where he starts pulling for repopulation efforts and it’s hilarious. Cyc and TG do Not trust him at all, but they’ll play along to help garner interest in fixing their freaking species
also Tailgate grabs the baby back from Starscream and gives it back to Cyclonus as soon as he possibly can (which tbh is helped by Starscream all but shoving it back towards the two of them while squawking about how it drooled on him)
Starscream is so scared of this tiny thing. It’s loud and delicate and -leaking- and he’s very frightened by it’s parents!
And then, later, he’s looking at the babies in a little crib or something, and talking to them while everybody else is talking amongst themselves, trying not to interact with Starscream because he’s an ass, and he’s like “you’re all awful little things, so small. So helpless. I can’t believe our species used to be reliant entirely on raising little things like you.”
And because they’re babies and babies don’t know anything they’re just like SOMEONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO US and coo and chirp and reach for him and he’s like “All you do is want attention, don’t you? You just need someone to pay attention to you, and protect you, and…love you…”
And then he lets them grab his hand and gum his fingers and he’s like yeah, okay.
I could want one of these.
(Wheeljack is treated, later, to Starscream basically just bursting into his lab shouting WHEELJACK YOU HAVE A NEW ASSIGNMENT: GET ME PREGNANT and Wheeljack just about lights himself on fire and chokes at the same time because what the hell)
aaaaaaaaaa :D
I think at this point Cyclonus would still be loathe to let the babies get too far away from him, so he’d be witness to Starscream’s weird little moment of realization. maybe even help cause it, with a terse little conversation... Cyclonus certainly doesn’t like Starscream, of course. but if he sees something worthy of respect in someone, he’s good at acknowledging it.
(and perhaps he thinks that Starscream having to give a shit about someone other than himself might help, in the long run. at the very least the whole ordeal would force him to stop getting up to as much trickery and hijinks, lmao.)
I need to draw baby metamorphers right the fuck now
Are they like puppies/kittens in being born blind? Imagine squinty lil eyes, struggling to open…
yup!!! they’re absolutely like that. <3 their ears are sealed for the first few days as well.
