#it's new for me

[jazz-miester]

Hi! Could I get a scenario (or headcanons, I’m not picky!) with G1 Jazz as queer platonic partners with a human reader? Specifically one that’s trans masc? That would be awesome!!

G1 Jazz Headcanons.

As a side not. If anything in this is incorrect/just not right. Please correct me. Personally I'm not trans masc and therefore may not have some things right. I'm just going with what I know.

Jazz gets along with everyone. And I mean everyone. He's an easygoing mech that's down for just about anything people have to offer.

That being said. Although he gets along with a lot of people he's friends with few. And those he could see himself in a relationship with even less.

Jazz adores you and everything that you do. He has a deep interest in the different cultures and customs that humankind has. And to experience that through you? One of his most cared for people? This mech is ecstatic.

Jazz loves to learn all that he can about you. Music interests, if you're an artist, a writer. Maybe you have a passion for cooking. No matter what it is, Jazz is there, learning alongside you.

Some of your favorite things to do together is going on long drives. Just the two of you rolling down the long winding roads in the open desert. Warm air flowing over the both of you. And of course, music. Either softly playing or loudly blaring. Whatever fits the mood of that drive.

It was on of these drives that you told Jazz about your gender. About how it differs from most people on this planet. Jazz, being Jazz, rolled with it. It wasn't unusual for a cybertronian to do so. In fact it was easier for them to shift and change into a frame they were more comfortable in.

Jazz would help you in anyway he can if you're dysphoric. Reassurances. Smooth flowing words to calm your nerves. He will never see you as anything else than what you are. And he helps where he can. A change of clothes, a change of space.

He's also there as a hand/servo to hold if you just need him there. No words needed.

Jazz, along with his love for music. Loves to dance. And although the species/height difference may be a challenge. It's one he's ready to face headlong. He'll teach you traditional dances from Iacon and Praxus. Along with more modern dances of the time before the war took over.

It's amusing to the other Autobots to see the two of you dancing. Often times it's Jazz leaning over to be able to hold your hands as you twist and twirl.

You help Jazz just as much as he helps you during all of this. You are often a constant in his ever changing line of work. He has had to deal with mechs and femmes that wear masks. Ever changing faces of information and personalities.

You're there as a soft and calming presence to his chaos. Just being there is often enough to soothe him. Jazz, despite the persona he puts on, is tired and worn. His own exuberant personality more for others than himself.

The two of you balance each other out. Jazz learns more about you. Your home. He brings out confidence in you. Show's you just how comfortable you can be in your own skin. Your own body. And just how proud of yourself you need to be. You've made it this far. He intends to see you keep on going.

And you. You help bring him back down to, well, Earth. You give him the abilty to just be himself. To seek comfort in your presence. That he doesn't have to be so extraverted all the time. That he doesn't have to benefit every one else. He can rest. As long as you're here you'll be a constant. Forever letting him know that he can be his own bot. That he can seek peace in you.

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).

given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)

but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:
