Jazzwave anon, I know I want to know how you I interpret the relationship sorry for being too vague lol

OH! Lol that's makes more sense adfjghkwl

See, what I love about shipping is that you can take a crumb and mold characters into however you see fit. There are soooo many continuities across Transformers, each with their own interpretation of characters. Sometimes I get specific, but sometimes I operate in continuity soup...

With that in mind, I generally like to see them as master spies. To me, they are experts in their field, which makes every interaction-- both with each other and with other characters-- dubious. You end up having to ask yourself: how much of Jazz's smile is genuine? What is Soundwave omitting from his recollection of an event? That sort of thing.

So as a fan of the pairing I get to play with those interactions depending on my mood... are they lying to each other all the time and I have to read what's between the lines to understand their true intentions? Or could the other mech be one of the very few people that sees through the facade, a mech who offers security and honesty? Perhaps it's a mixture of both...

I imagine the inability to trust is pretty inherent to their nature, deep down. They have to be skeptical of everything, their job never really ends, so to entertain a story where they grow to rely on one another is just *muah* 👌 Plus there's the added layer of interfactional angst! Like aaaaaa there goes the one other person who could possibly understand what it's like to be in your position, only they're on the other side of the war.

I generally see Soundwave as pretty reserved with a bit of dry snark here and there, while Jazz is definitely more outgoing and talkative but even less predictable. On the surface Soundwave is measured, Jazz is paradoxical, yet both are ten steps ahead of everyone else (and always keep some contingencies in their subspace.)

You can create stories where these seemingly polar opposites actually find some understanding and get along rather well. But you could also go full angst and make it so they feel they are unable to trust others and properly exist in peacetimes, so they end up being in each other's lives out of convenience-- because at least then they won't be alone. You can make it so they briefly crossed paths pre-war! Or maybe you'd like to see them try to one-up each other like rivals.

Something else I can appreciate due to their lines of work-- the fact that over time they're able to see all sorts of sides to their leaders, making them more disillusioned than some of the other hardcore fanatics/loyal soldiers. Like they still care about their respective causes, but they don't view Megatron or Optimus as perfect. Meaning they're more than happy to bend a few rules to do whatever they personally want to do-- stuff whatever the leader says.

I'll sum up cuz this is getting super long (sorry!) but literally the characterizations are wildly different, so you can create all kinds of arrangements. In my mind there's a basic structure, but beyond that anyone could take it from there lol!

Also! We can't forget... music. Personally I like to imagine they have very different tastes but are able to find appreciation in many musical expressions. Jazz definitely plays an instrument or five, and I am kind of torn on whether Soundwave might. He definitely would have the discipline for it, but perhaps his playing style is stilted? Or maybe he's excellent, and shockingly good at improvising to mix things up! Or maybe actually he doesn't like music much at all. And honestly however you interpret music in their relationship is likely to be a metaphor for the relationship itself...

TLDR: I love seeing them flirt like in those classic spy movies where the main concern was to have some thrill while solving an investigation/finishing a mission, and to look cool and get some while doing it. 😂

New silly guy!!! Inspired by a comment from @the-sussy-imposter2 about big ol golden retriever preds that are basically cryptids. Big guy with lots of fur = best hugs ever, inside and out :3! Don’t have a name for this guy, but he lives in the forest, loves marshmallows, and adores having little buddies to cuddle with. I’ll leave naming rights to @the-sussy-imposter2 if they want, since they were the one to give me the idea!

Woah I did it... behold the complete Mini-Pegg collection!

Currently sorting out, like, maybe actually selling these as stickers? I don't know I'm a broke uni student.

[practically-an-x-man]

ok well that one's going straight on the favorites list for sure. absolute masterpiece. one of the most genuinely unsettling horror movies I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT. It's all the slow descent into madness that the Shining movie wanted to be, the acting never missed a fucking beat (this is the guy's FIRST LEAD ROLE and goddamn did he command every second he was on screen), played super well on the 70s talk show on-air/off-air setting, then throw in some Cronenberg-style practical effects and I could not look away

I hope one day they'll let me have a tumblr blog, wouldn't that be something... Imagine, Lil ol me with my very own tumblr blog! Serendipity! I'd be hootin' and a hollerin' while I'm a likin' and rebloggin'!

anyone: it’s the 14th of February….you know what that means;)

me (nodding): happy hot fuzz (2007) day

[greyangelpain]

Me cornering my dad to info dump about my favourite film ever.

[spicy-cleanness]

I love how shaun of the dead and hot fuzz have very similar main types of humour in their core, but the world's end just "you know what? NEW PLAN"

because if shaun is mostly repetitions ("red on you", their plan to save barbara and liz and go to the winchester) with a bit of foreshadowings; and the hot fuzz is mostly foreshadowings with a bit of repetitions (you're a doctor, deal with it)

the world's end going mostly on misunderstanding

gary and oliver talking about bike

I didn't drink for years - wow you must be thirsty

the whole "I don't even know what pronoun is" chat

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WTF????"

and in actions too. like the moment where sam thought gary gave her an arm and he asked for cigarettes.

it's just so funny for me. like, the world's end always feels kinda aside. and I think this is the part of reason. but it still feels like the funniest form of humour in cornetto for me.

You keep tagging things jazzwave can you elaborate 👀👀👀?

Hi! I understand jazzwave is also a type of music, so apologies if that's causing some confusion!

But in my application of the term, it's the ship name for Jazz x Soundwave from Transformers! Basically I tag stuff that is either directly depicting the ship or things that just remind me of the ship.

In media im very mixed on elves, i somewhat dislike when theyre just humans but twinkier and cant grow facial hair (though i can appreciate this form of them) I like when theyre more obviously a fae-influenced subspecies of humans... Uncanny elves with eyes that pin like parrots and mobile ears, to human beings seem almost expressionless/stiff faced but thats bc all their emoting is in their ears and eyes

[freshlyslicedmilk]

I heard Timothy Dalton laugh in the Hot Fuzz commentary. Weirdest gender envy experience I've ever had. Huh.

every so often my professors pass out real physical paper and my monkeybrain goes fittingly apeshit as i return to my highschool and middleschool days of doodling whatever interested me in the margins and blank spaces.

so here, tumblr dot com: have a doodle of The Editor, two of Nandor Fodor, and a single confused Nicholas Angel.
