Bloodlust!!! 🩸

It’s been actual ages since I last drew him oops,, new one on the right, still a wip!! Bloodlust is the result of Bloodbath snapping(?) its a Jekyll Hyde type of thing where it’s the same guy, but more of a final form after losing all hope. Bloodbath letting go of his humanity (demanity?) after losing literally everything,, his status, his purpose in the world, he failed the hell realm and now his own friends, once immortal high ranks now disappearing, he’s lost saku, and phobos.. and throughout the whole time there’s an unseen someone urging him to turn on the world entirely..

just imagine one of those corny werewolf transformation images LOL THOSE ONES THATS WHAT BLOODLUST IS

[lexicorp]

Here to politely request your version of the Seeker Boys lore 🙏, if you feel so inclined as to share

[i got distracting doodling the sillies but i am /so/ inclined sdfnwifb]

So FIRST! we got Starscream! (youngest)

as you can see, he absolutely has his shit together :>

When it comes to his mentor Cryak, I tend to think of this fic by zeropro which i def recommend. After separated himself from her, he found himself enlisting in the Elite Guard of Vos. He quickly rose in the ranks, and met Thundercracker and Skywarp there, where the three rose up together as Starscream became the leader of the guard, much like in TF1. Overtime, the essentially police work, and monotonous servitude to the Primes got Starscream antsy. He didn't like how they were dismissed and given all the shit jobs the prissy higher ups didn't want. So, he decided to try and get into the Academy, since his time with Cryak had instilled an interest in such scientific endeavors. He managed to get in, juggling school and his work. He also met Skyfire of course (I wont delve too much into that part cuz it'd get p long-), aaaaand it was going great, with exhibitions to other planets in search of energon and possible settlements. But then on one to Urth back in da day, Skyfire was lost to the storm, and Starscream was forced to return without him despite his efforts. He was expelled from the school because of this on the basis of negligence essentially (they were itching for a reason to kick him out).

All that leads to when the next time he goes to a gladiator fight with warp and thunder to see the self proclaimed Megatron (prev D-16) in the ring as they often did, when Megs began his speech about how the system with the miners is screwed up, prejudice running rampant, and how shit needs to change: Starscream starts getting hella deep into that shit. Cuz he's pissed af now. He started meeting with megatron and openly supporting him as he was still the leader of the Elite Guard. Funding campaigns and giving information. This behavior got him flack from biches like Sentinel (more passive aggressive cuz that hoe had his own plans), and also the Primes, who were convinced that the system they had was necessary and tried to talk to him many times and when he tried to convince /them/ to change shit and set up mtgs for Megs, they wouldn't rlly listen (or their compromises were mediocre).

At that point in the lore, Megs and Star had an actually pretty good relationship for the most part. Even if Megs often prioritized Orion and their plans, and often would twist stars advice to make it sound like he had actually come up with it (Star brushed those things aside cuz he did admire Megatron and felt he had more right to organize this front from his background. His aft got gaslit and gaslit himself fr fr).

Star, Warp, and Thunder were generally on the same page then too. Warp hella down for usurping the government, and Thunder riding the high of his brothers' energy and wanting to support them.

Then, whole shit goes down of Sentinel and his accomplice assassinate the Primes (is framed as an accident and he tries to come back like oh yeah, I'm in charge now, so sad, much mourning). Starscream suspects it was bullshit, and he and Megatron plan to murder dat bich. Orion is against it of course, but follows them to continue to try and convince them to stop. How it ends, is Megatron gutting sentinel, and attempting to take the mattrix from him, but it denies him and chooses orion, which pisses him off. (detailing that would bleed more into Megs lore soo anyway-) Starscream was honestly like "wtf", and just follows Megatron out when Prime tells them to leave.

Then it goes into the war era, with Megatron rallying the Decepticons into a full ass force and announcing his plans to fuck shit up, and challenging Optimus. This is when Star and Meg's relationship starts going to shit. things get progressively worse and worse through the war, as Starscream is listened to less and less, and they get into fights often. This then starts reflecting onto his relationship with his brothers. At first, Starscream was decent at coming to them to rant or ask for assistance, but as Warp would show favoritism to Megs, and Thunder would tell him to just play it safe instead of starting fights, Starscream got more and more distant and bitter.

Oh! Also theres the fun Outlier factor where I imagine Star's is like super healing coded. Has a high ass damage threshold and very energy efficient (which can lead to him forgetting to fuel). The extreme end of this ability activates upon death, where his spark will hard deny separation and jumpstart his aft to life again and will try its best to heal his frame back to a functioning level. (which is rlly how he survived the shit that killed Skyfire) [bit about his optics]

***

Then there's Thundercracker (middlechild-)

He didn't exactly have much of a Mentor, per say. He was onlined specifically for the Elite Guard, and was just guided by his superiors and expected to just figure it out and follow orders. He had his love for writing for a long time, and often uses it as a form of escapism. He also loves to critique movies and shit. Loves musicals-

He and Starscream actually initially bonded over this when Star had asked about it and showed interest, which not many others besides Skywarp had. Thunder would script-write little plays, and Starscream would always claim the lead role. Those were coveted nights in the prewar era for Thundercracker. Where they would practice, brainstorm improvements, screw around, and maybe have some high grade. It made him truly feel like he was a part of something, when so often before warp and star, he'd been alone in his passions just going along with the motions.

Thundercracker found the Gladiator fights, that Warp introduced them to, fascinating more than anything. He enjoyed the hype and community that came with it, although did find the premise unsettling. So when Starscream started working with Megatron, and the whole rising revolution shit, he was like, "oh yeah, that sounds cool". He honestly perceived it with more anime optics, tfe hashtag ass processor over here, as he thought the idea of rising up and bringing the world into a new age was awesome! He wasn't a fan of being "just" a seeker of the Guard, he wanted to be a famous writer, and he thought that whole thing could be the way to make that a reality.

Alas, it all went to shit. The war started, and he felt like everything was falling apart. Starscream had started to get more aggressive, and dismissive. Skywarp was all guns blazing for the blowing up everyone who stood in their way, but thundercracker just...didn't see how a war was going to fix things. he didn't understand why megs and orion fell out, and why optimus wasnt on their side. or why they were fighting instead of fixing things since it seemed like they had just gotten rid of their main obstacles.

Thunder became more disconnected himself as time went on. smothering himself in his art as much as he could. Maladaptive daydreaming for dayz baybe-- He's overall hella frustrated, and just wants things to get better, but doesn't know how, and is just back on the go with the flow grindset.

His tendency to disappear annoys the hek outta screamer. Especially when thunder doesnt tell him where tf he vanishes too when it comes to the Earth era (Thunder meets this human farmer fam, and constantly visits to hang out with their doge Buster.)

***

last but not least, there be Skywarp (oldest)

Their Mentor was a scientist interested in researching Outliers. His earlier cycles were cooped up in labs, doing test after test after test. She hates that shit. Alot- Even joked at Starscream to "not become one of /those/ stiffs" when he'd gone to the Academy. When it came to joining the Elite Guard, it was a helluva an improvement to them, although adored any amount of freedom from the drab parts of the job by hanging with friends and trinemates. Adrenaline junkie and craves /all/ the stimulation.

They love graffiti, makeup/framepaint, and dancing. Would often do cover doodles for Thundercracker's stories, and helped choreograph shit. They /love/ drama, but only when it doesn't get too serious. They have fun with banter, brotherly ragging on each other, aaaand of course pranks. Theyre an absolute menace, but fiercely loyal to those they get close to (starscream would debate that fact when it comes to megatron-).

Skywarp was the first to introduce her bros to Gladiator lore Megatron. They idolize the guy, /heavily/. Which makes things difficult down the road when ol megs starts getting hella questionable, but they don't see it. They still view him the same way thru it all, and couldn't believe starscream's complaints as things deteriorated. Skywarps tendency to believe megs over star, ultimately is what starts driving them apart. Even if Skywarp still tries to bring them together again. They'll often try to rope star and thunder into their shenanigans, and petty schemes against the bots. Occasionally, it works. While others, he just gets an audial full about being immature.

Overall, they thrive in the chaos, but wishes the gang would get back together, and is hella salty about it. But being a silly goofy lad is the best coping mechanism lmao

[withered--s0uls]

OKAY, I think I'm done for now.

@electrozeistyking and I a little while ago talked about how GD!N would react to DAS!Cyn. They went on about in a reblog but basically he would be extremely happy bc DAS!Cyn is a separate entity to the Absolute Solver, therefore meaning she's not the one behind everything.

So at first they probably both would be extremely happy. DAS!Cyn in her own AU upon meeting N first is absolutely terrified that he might hate her after everything the AS made her do. So the fact GD!N would react very positively to her presence would be a huge a relief to her.

Now, the issue is that the "Dormant" in "Dormant" Absolute Solver is in quotations for a reason. It simply lost interest in her as a main host / had no need for her anymore. It still has admin rights over DAS!Cyn and she still has a Solver Form. Though she doesn't use it by choice bc of PTSD triggers (until possibly a specific point in Ep7 but I'm waiting for ep8 to decide).

So yeah I think that would make both GD!N and DAS!Cyn kinda anxious to put it lightly.

(More Art and stuff under cut because this crossover has been living RENT FREE IN MY HEAD)

Also fun fact

@electrozeistyking has mentioned and shown Beanie finding comfort in the sound of her fathers core.

Well funny story.

DAS!Cyn always was comforted by her brothers core back at the manor, when they first reuite at the start of Ep6 and she sees DAS!Uzi summon her Solver wings and tail, her instinct is pressing closer to DAS!Ns chest for comfort. Her memories of the Solver features are very very blurry, but she is triggered by seeing them regardless.

I thought It was cute the girls have that in common, so I decided to draw them and GD!N sleeping with the girls having their heads close to his core :3

OKAY FINALLY WE GET TO THE DOODLE PAGE

I didn't feel like fully making these so they're sketchy doodles :"

The first two are based on Zeisty saying GD!N would probably pick DAS!Cyn up and spin her around. Also you probably noticed between this doodle, the first drawing & the Tiny!N & DAS crossover post, but DAS!Cyn displays flowers on her visor to emote happiness!

The 3rd and 4th are just random interactions between the kiddos lol. I feel like Beanie probably would be happy to have another Auntie, not to mention one closer to her age so they can do silly kid stuff together. DAS!Cyn... oh boy

She would feel a whole range of emotions; grief about missing so much of her brothers life (like he has a kid ffs), guilt and self blame after finding out what happened to Uzi (she blames herself for everything the AS caused, even tho she never agreed to it) which might end up in a "slight" breakdown, anger at the AS for causing GD!N that kind of pain and eventually once she processed all those emotions she probably would be excited to get to know Beanie. Like!! Imagine finding out you have a little Niece!!

She probably would struggle to easily keep up with Beanie bc she still has motor issues like in canonverse so she's a little slower, so it'd be mostly her trying not to fall over her own feet whilst being dragged around by an excited toddler who probably even with child lock is stronger than her lmao.

Also I drew DAS!Cyn in an alternate outfit bc I wanted to actually kinda show the oil reserve canister,,,

Ok wanting to respond to the hashtags specifically bc :)) yay

Also ig this is some DAS lore fact drops lol

Yeah, DAS!Cyn kinda didn't take it well either when she first realized the AS technically can still take over if it really wanted to after she transferred bodies in an attempt to escape. Imagine getting your core nearly crushed in an attempt to flee from robo satan just to find out entity STILL can use you for their bidding. Like!!! Damn that's not fair the kid nearly fucking died trying to break free!!!

DAS!Cyn definitely would want to spare Beanie the horrors too. DAS!Cyn herself is mentally like 7-10/11 at best 6-9 at worst -- despite kids usually just saying whatever comes to mind, she repressed most AS related stuff for a reason, she definitely wouldn't share what she knows with her newfound niece

I feel things would be either super great and happy or super traumatizing depending on when in the timeline we throw DAS!Cyn at them. If she's there during ep 6-7? Oh boy. Oh no. DAS!Cyn & DAS!N have an exchange during Ep7 that would not go over so well if it was GD!N in DAS!Ns place, because it would be awfully similar to GD!Uzis death -- she doesn't die, because DAS!N can't get himself to shoot with her being so close to the AS, despite her literally shouting at him to do it and that she won't be angry, that'll be fine. -- yeah I don't think GD!N would handle that well �� Zeisty feel free to get the angst train rolling if you wanna add your two cents on how that'd go over -- any point before that? Probably fine. Post S1? I'd imagine also fine depending on what Ep8 throws at us (except like... look at ideas list for more info*)

I'll assume that'd be Beanie reacting to seeing DAS!Cyn having the Solver tail and possibly the glitching Solver symbol in her visor. Yeah she definitely would try to play it off and go try and hide somewhere until she can get it under control again. High stress or negative emotions causes her Solver to act up (unrelated to the AS, just her own Solver form without the entity controlling anything!!) So what I said above to her reaction to the news of GD!Uzi being dead? And possibly finding out the reason why? Yeah that might trigger her tail and wings to pop out and her to basically be reduced to a hyperventilating ball on the floor because of proceeding to blame herself for all of GD!Ns suffering due to thinking the AS actions & it being a danger are her fault

Other things I kinda wanted to doodle but didn't for now, might do at a later point;

Cyn still has a Solver Core, which is the same as a DD core (except smaller lol). So I was playing with the idea of Beanie noticing that her core sounds different from GD!Ns due to hers being severely damaged and actively leaking after the AS attempted to crush it during the body transfer. DAS!Cyn then trying to play it off

Some kind of acknowledgement of the Oil reserve canister on DAS!Cyns back, it was made by Tessa before the AS did the medurder and stuff. It's supposed to help keep the Solver in check by preventing overheating, hence why its directly connected to her chest where her core is

There was something else but it slipped my mind

Smth I'm not gonna say publicly for now until Zeisty posts something about it and/or eventually posts the chapters bc I don't want to spoil esp not bc it isn't my place to :" (if you're curious, Zeisty, lmk I can tell you in VC or DMs lol) but it partly would possibly be related to the 1st idea listed

* I have an idea for what happens to Cyns original body (the one the AS uses & that wears Tessa) post Ep8 IF Ep8 let's me do it that is. I think it could be fun to crossover that idea bc of GD!Ns ghost sight.... tho it definitely also would be fucking stressful and trauma inducing bc Solver stuff sooo yeah rip (again, if you want I could elaborate in vc or DMs on this bc I want to first wait and see what the season finale brings before I do anything "official" with this)

GD!N reacting to the information that DAS!Cyn canonly shot "Tessas" gun at the AS (well technically at its tentacles. Point being that kid fired a gun/knows how to use one) -- which again could be very interesting if we were to toss them into the same Ep7 bc that's when she does it

Possibly GD!N finding out ab the scars/cracks surrounding DAS!Cyns core bc,,, yeah

Anyways uuuhh heightbsheet bc I'm 99% sure I drew stuff inaccurate

These were actually so fun to draw and think & talk about. I'll post the GD x IC crossover once I'm done with that (yes, yes there is more than what you already saw Zeisty. Not much more but more nonetheless)

[unepikal]

wanted to pull this off my bluesky but i think im cooking

"i really need to draw geometry dash stuff again because this one specific idea where robtop is a wizard is itching at my brain

brief explanation but basically robtop is the creator of the shopkeepers in some long forgotten era before suddenly disappearing while working on his magnum opus due to being set for death due to unethical usage of magic

BUT!! turns out robtop pulled a nine (please get the reference) and split his soul into what he called checkpoints before shattering the pieces across the land and basically preserving his soul for all eternity!! (wowzer!!)

if you know my. um tumblr. this would tie in with that stuff too with the mc having the ability of being able to reassemble the checkpoint shards and can respawn at the one closest to their location of death

anyways i think im done rambling for now lol"

its still a SUPER rough idea but like. robtop as an insane crazy wizard guy who wants to cheat death would be pretty cool maybe thats just me

WAIT WDYM I DON'T HAVE AVERNUS LORE POST YET

aka: introducing GD Avernus (as personified by me)

prns: she/her age: appears older teen/young 20's (actual age is idk because THEY'RE LEVELS HOW WOULD I KNOW ?? /lh)

headcanons + my other drawings of her below cut!

-=-

here's a major one: she does n o t like having a high list standing. she knows she's well-known only for that standing and for nothing else

has considered cutting her hair multiple times

enjoys friendly discussions!

writes letters to show affection

is the equivalent of a firebender in the atla franchise. also means she naturally runs hotter than most levels

it's not shown in this image but she DOES have a spiked bracelet i swear

is ambidextrous just because

usually covers herself in more layers of clothing to sorta hide herself

adores gd amethyst (avernus is not proud of this one because she's never liked someone like that before!)

on that note, i def see her as arospec (idk where on the aro spectrum but she certainly is tHERE)

plays the piano occasionally

handwriting is like a mix of print and cursive but rushed, dw it's legible

types all lowercase

is a mezzo-soprano

the thing with a sun design she wears around her waist? that's a belt that she ties around her waist like an apron . she has multiple of those and she wears it to remind her of icdx, whom she sees herself in

wears loose and slightly oversized clothes (again, for the hide herself kinda thing)

diamond earrings in my designs represent being a list demon. wearing both earrings means you are happy with your standing OR your standing doesn't matter to you. wearing one means you aren't happy with your standing OR that you aren't happy with being a list demon in general.

more on that earring thing, when you aren't a list level anymore, you break your earrings in half crosswise to turn them into triangles.

oki back to her - her nickname is averi and she addresses herself with that nickname, no one else calls her that

-=-

NOW FOR DRAWINGS OF HER !! (also this is kinda her design evolution)

the very first one, back when all I had of her were her hair, face, and earring

lineart based on @heart2oheart's design of her

irl doodles of her! this was def me deviating from the original inspired lineart into what was more up my alley

old, not canon, me testing around w colors

a shortened version of her signature

[jackals-ships]

rolling back up with my 1st finished fic in a sec and it's the horrors tm <3

(warnings for discussed child abuse+grooming, and internalized victim blaming)

you ain't nearly high as you could be, but you are enough to feel actually properly relaxed. got your legs thrown all across Makara, who's smiling himself and keeps trying to kiss at you while you're playfully kickin. pressing his fangs all at your ankles got you gigglin like a fool.

you don't know how you got here, to this conversation. just that your mouth is running the fuck away god knows where in-between high pitched chirps of laughter. head flopped back onto some fluffy pillow so you don't see the way Bachus’s face changes the more you yap.

“...so he, hehe, he throws a lighter at me. my da. cuz he smoked like a motherfucker, oh you shoulda seen the way he flipped his shit when I accidentally fucked up some of his uh uh the dudes. you gotta fill em. filters? whatever. anyways. this time tells me ta carve myself up. which is fuckin hilarious cuz it's a lighter and…and.”

he's been quiet too long you realize. makes you frown an lift your head. makes you frown more when he's slipped from smiling to that blank ass shit he pulls when he's feeling some kinda way and don't wanna “influence your feelings.” “...what?”

“...brother that ain't. You know that ain't funny, right?”

you can't frown much more but you manage it. “Nono it's not the, the background shit-” (you see him mouth background? slowly) “-its, it's the fact it was a lighter yeah? You can't cut with that. That's why it's funny.”

“That…ain't the point.” he's choosing his words carefully you can see. and you. you're still not in control of your mouth so you're rambling again.

“Kinda is, but I mean it's also stupid, cuz he was stupid, same man who called me a whore cuz of the fishnets-” (his hand tightens on your ankle and you don't quite register it) “I was uh. Fuck me. thirteen- human years. No fuck, four- fiiiiifteen? Okay look it was before my first kiss so it was funny-”

“Love.” oh. you don't like that tone. but you just can't seem to shut the fuck up.

“-even more funny this was before I started chatting at older dudes online. If he had, hehe, waited a couple years right-” (“Love.”) “-oh god specially when I met this one guy, sent me letters, wanted me ta run away with him, that's how I got caught the letters-” (“Love.”) “-kinda miss him he was sweet fuck I think I was fourteen- fifteen when I met-”

“Love.” it's all but a fuckin snarl when he jerks your ankle in the same second, not enough to hurt but enough to snap your jaw shut. he looks. pissed. you're torn between growlin an whining at him so you choose neither.

“...say that again for me. Real slow.” you're lookin away now. licking at the inside of your teeth, can feel him soften up when he realizes he spooked you, thumb rubbing extra careful circles on the delicate bone. (“...he. Was sweet-”)

“Remind me how old- no GO ON best friend. Remind me.” you are growling at him now and he punctuates his words with a sharp crack of fangs. way he does when he's tellin you he ain't Mad mad but he's serious. “How old humans are when you stop bein wrigglers. Go on darling diamond, try an tell me you were all fuckin full grown.”

you don't see why that matters because, “I started the conversations Bucks-”

“Oh so that makes it fine?” he's doin the thing you hate. little drawling tone in his words. where you know he's right but you'd rather murder him than Say It. “Little pup chattin up somebody who shoulda known better-”

“I started- he was shy at first, so I'm the one who started-” (“He should've known-”) “I wanted it same with the others so it doesn't. It doesn't count Bucks- and and even the times I didn't wanna- I coulda said no, didn't matter we were-”

“..even the times you didn't want to?” you don't like the way he's looking at you. all pity sweet and horrified. course that's the part that sticks out most.

“It wasn't. It was just texts. Or or pics. It didn't, doesn't matter. That one wasn't even the one I. They were different. Loved me. So it's. You, you do nice things for the people you love even if you hate it an feel sick and-”

you don't know when he started hugging you, or when you started shaking. “I wanted it.” he's got his muzzle on the top of your head. for once the cold feels good. you are, perhaps, a little too warm. “I did.”

“...doesn't mean it was right.” you're makin some kinda frustrated-hurt noise in his direction. “They shoulda said no. They knew better.” he's petting you. you're wriggling, wanting Out of his arms to go and Hide but he's just gently squeezing you tighter.

fucker knows damn well you'll refuse to talk about this ever again he lets you go. you're thinking about biting him. but you're also thinking. he's being too quiet. way too quiet for too long and and.

“You think I'm gross.” the noise he makes is punched out, bewildered. “You, I wanted it, so it's my fault, so I'm gross so you don't want me so you have to-”

you'd be concerned about him breaking your ribs he holds you any tighter but you've long since learned he is Fascinatingly Creepily adept at being careful with you. “Baby shut the fuck up.” you; shut the fuck up.

“I adore you. No stop- you can argue once I'm done. …good. I adore you. So much it hurts. You know I wouldn't lie to you. So you're gonna listen when I say it doesn't matter that you wanted it. It was still fucked up. It shouldn't have happened. None of it. They knew better and took advantage. It ain't your fault."

he's rubbing his cheek on the top of your head now. you're sniffling a little bit. you don't. not believe him. but it's. difficult.

“.....I don't like. talking to you. you are Mean with your Facts."

you can feel it when he laughs, chuff of a thing that's not really that amused. “You wanna bite me about it?”

“.....kinda.”

Shin

[littlelav107]

so today I found out that avernus very clearly looks like a top 20 that was buffed to be a top 1, meaning it wasn't a level originally that hard, it had to increase its difficulty artificially, which in turn leads to the hate for the fixed hitboxes and deco plus the hate for the host, which eventually became a bandwagon of people just hating the level entirely

that level of angst potential is UNMATCHED.

*plays castles crumbling*

"first, the players force me to push their limits. then they complain about my difficulty? now they scream that they hate me.

i never wanted this. it's like everything i do isn't enough for them.

so what am I doing wrong?"
