Introducing This Kind Of Low-level Conspiracy Plot With Duke In Energon Universe Is So Fun, Because…

"the world isn't kind" ok??? Much more importantly are you?????

4, 19, 28, 35?

Thanks so much for the asks!

4. Post a screenshot of one of your favorite comments. That's so hard! Here's a few off the top of my head:

19. What headcanon do you always include in your stories?

That despite having an implant, Zero's understanding of most basic concepts is incomplete due to a lack of natural instincts and because he wasn't raised or taught anything at all; he just got left in his glass box to develop alone by watching technicians and reading whatever thoughts/memories he had access to. This is most notable in my fics as both unusual sentence structure or vocabulary when he speaks (he substitutes words often when he hasn't learned the correct term) and a slight limp, as he learned to walk solely by watching someone and copied them incorrectly.

28. What fic is closest to your heart?

Oh another tough one! Hmm... for now I'd say it's probably Hunger, a Zero-centric fic based off of "Endler's steps of predation." It's basically a biology concept discussing the steps of a predation event and how the prey can intercept each step; I wrote this fic around the time I was finishing my senior project, and I had to research the concept for that too. Plus, I'm really proud of the way I framed Zero's headspace, as it felt like I was representing the character the way I see him. Very fun all around! 35. Have you ever written a fic because you were inspired by a title? Alas, I don't think so- I usually title my fics after they're written as an afterthought. The closest I've come is Your Eyes Were Lovely, Dark and Deep, which is actually a song lyric from The Woods by Sam Fermin, which inspired the fic.

Cypher, Wing, or Sky's Fall mayhaps,,,,,,,,,

Ooooo yes!

Cypher:

(Does this song fit Wing? Yes- but vibes-wise it’s screaming in anguish, very Cyphercore)

Wing:

(Sounds like something an angry kid could jam out to guitar and sing along to in their room, the kind of therapy Wing needs tbh.)

Sky’s Fall (AKA Evil Kitty)

(I knew it was going to be Saint Motel, it was a tie between this and To My Enemies. Just delightful energetic villainy vibes without being an overt villain song.)

Thanks for the ask, Cooper!

The Zero Thoughts are back

Do we think Zero enjoyed being underwater in that submarine? Perhaps because it reminded him of being in his cloning tank? And as everyone was drowning around him, he was just enamored with his first and only experience in the outside world and it was still just floating and looking out while being contained in a tube?

Having Zero thoughts tonight.

It’s one thing to grow up semi-normally, unaware that you were physically modified (Otto), it’s another thing to grow up in a very condensed amount of time, receiving behavioral modifications you did not agree to but are aware of, and knowing about a multitude of experiences that you have both been denied since your birth and know that no one intends to share with you.

He’s very much Overlord 2.0 in that regard, but also… HIVEmind parallels.

Glad y'all liked Cobra Commander; that said... Y'all are not ready for Storm Shadow.

Cypher: hi my name is Cypher and I will be kidnapping you today Shelby: DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER Cypher: oh my god. Love the energy. Do you want a job? You're hired

Animal Crossing: New Horizons and G.I. Joe Renegades…

I can work with that.
