it’s kind of fucked up that you can’t just introduce characters that don’t fit into the white western gender binary, or that at least don’t use he or she pronouns, without including some sort of author’s statement or having the character very stildedly say “my name is x and my pronouns are y. my gender identity is this.” because if you dontttttttt do that people will just he/him the character. even if they’re explicitly called by other pronouns

21 and 25?

21. part of canon you think is overhyped

Anything introduced by Transformers Prime. also a lot about Ratchet, i wish his role wasn't the grumpy one anymore im tired of it bring back a real complainer like gears

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

can i say redemptive starscream again. if not then it's everyone arguing against human companions/stories set on earth. you hate joy and whimsy and everything the transformers stand for if you think the best transformers stories are those not set on earth (mtmte/tf1)

18 for the ask game

18. its absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

COMBINERS!!! most specifically the torchbearers and the trainbots i miss them soo much and theres little content about them. everytime someone posts something about religious worldbuilding i want to shake them like HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE GOOD NEWS. THERES A COMBINER TEAM SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT!!!

8, 3, and 16 if youre willing

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

it's not so much of opinion as it is factually canon, but jetfire does not like starscream and vise versa. that one post i made with jazz and starscream is the same for them, jetfire doesn't like the fact that starscream kills innocent people and starscream shoots him for it, i made a joke about it on twt but its true what i said

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

i dont screenshot most horrible takes bc i am a nice non judgemental person who shits on others peoples harmless opinions 🥰🥰 bc i immediately block them. anyways worst take is probably anything on the transformers confessions blog where the most annoying and most racist parts of the fandom conglomerate

16. you can't understand why everyone likes this thing

stop making starscream an autobot. thats not his natural habitat get him out you're killing him you're declawing him

number of fandom-related words you've filtered

the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

there should be more of this type of fic/art

in fact, now i'm curious enough after all these asks that i'm gonna make a tagbait post: transformers fandom, please tell me what you think the rarest rarepair that you earnestly ship is. i'm talking 'this has no fanart no matter how deep into twitter and pixiv you dive' stuff. the ones you made up at 3am when you couldn't sleep and now they are real To You.
