Does Mexico even exist in the chromedog au?

ew - nate

Aren't you the problematic fave of excellence?

You felt the need to specify your identity here, even tho we are well acquainted and I know what your main is. Obviously you think I'm stupid and I'm deeply offended.

You did not make Chromedome in your hf AU Mexican, even tho I'm Mexican and I kin him, how dare.

You not only made me get into the experience that is Eugenesis, which is already bad, look at that thing, but provided plenty of context and made me care about TMUK as a whole. Hours I have spent looking up old websites and reading old fannish material just to figure things like what is transtrip. This is time and emotional energy I could have used in something productive.

Post fic with grammar and continuity mistakes that I have to DM you about, don't you think I have anything better to do?

Made me ship cdrwstorm, which is emotional manipulation.

Was one of my first friends in TF fandom, obviously more emotional manipulation.

Guess what's liiiiiiiiive

i have made..... some chromedogs. i havent drawn canines in awhile so my first sketch i was just not happy with, like, ive drawn plenty of wolves and dogs lol i know how to draw them but i seem to have completely forgotten what a dog looks like. so then i was like you know what. lets pull up some balto style guides and try to match it. ive done it with bambi model sheets before. so here is a balto stylized au transformers character i guess. lmao.

i had some debate on how far i wanted to push the low wolf content thing and i decided to stick around old breed dogs like malamutes and huskies. but i also needed him to be like. you know. character specific. so i went with the short fur and skinny ruff. hes got kind of medium sized paws, curled tail, and more defined markings which are all traits that are more common the lower the content. thematically i probably should have pushed it farther and just made him a fucking golden retriever because domestication syndrome does not need many generations to set in and also hes a halfbreed so a veritable wolfdog anyway. but its magic so i dont have to justify myself i like pointy dogs

Chromedog au is 65k and d(og)ratchet fic is22k. 1/3 of chromedog is about drift. You're reading about chromedome and rewind's messy dark romcom with brainstorm's fucked up crime thriller in the background and then out of nowhere I run in with a steel chair and 22k of drift's entire backstory. Which to be clear. You can't skip. There's lore in this.why did I do this

[polyhexian]

What if Chromedog au hard swerved and dropped drift/brainstorm endgame

[polyhexian]

I’d like to thank chromedog au for introducing me to the antlers those are the vibes I needed lately

The antlers????? Do I have antlers in chromedog au? I can't tell if you've typed/autocorrected or if I'm completely failing to remember a significant inclusion of antlers in my own writing and both are equally likely

[polyhexian]

Hey are you still writing chromedog au?

Yes!!!! I've like. Got part of the next parts written. But it's uh. Kind of complicated. And I've had trouble controlling my brain since October. It's been really difficult to convince my brain to work on what I want to work on. I've got the worst case of brain dolphins of my life

[polyhexian]

Just realized that more than one THIRD of chromedog au is about drift

[polyhexian]

I love that chromedog au has some kind of neuro element to werewolves! I’m on my toes I’m scratching my head because it makes so much sense but I’ve never seen it before and it engages my whole ass degree

Oh god someone who knows more than me is reading werewolf au. I want you to know I'm not making shit up as I go I do in fact know exactly what is going on and I have had an entire like final conflict exposition explanation drawn up. That is. Going to either be very cool. Or very fucking stupid. I'm genuinely terrified to publish it and start talking about mirror neurons I'm going to be crucified

[polyhexian]

Chromedog au really speaks to me as someone who likes werewolves and has a neuroscience degree

I’m on my third reread

Holy shit lol

I'm particularly flattered because I feel especially terrified whenever I introduce any kind of higher education material into a story because I have so profoundly little experience with it; CD being a brain surgeon is like, me slapping my keyboard in terror and hoping no one calls me on my bs. I've got debilitating ADHD that always curbstomped my ability to do school, so even though I've always done well on tests because I pick up MATERIAL quicky... I've still managed to flunk out of college twice LOL.

Me: makes au called Chromedog and calls them dogformers

Also me: makes dog an in universe slur

[polyhexian]

Thinking about whatever chromedog brainstorms deal is and look away by dear hunter…

EXTREMELY on point. The theme song I have for him at the front of my chromedog au brainstorm playlist is The Wolf by Fever Ray.

alternatively Derivikat's Doomsday or Humans by KLOUD. and arent those some ominous picks.

[polyhexian]

I added a description to the Chromedog au
