"I think I recall a discussion about flight-frame bots liking sticks. Do you want me to get you some nice sticks I've found on Earth? I've got some pretty coral branches, crystal wands, fancy tree branches woven with flowers... Or, if you want to gather your own, I could help you find some!"

"Sticks make so much sense," he whirrs, awed. A shake of his helm gets Bumblebee focused again. "I think I'd like to find some myself, yeah, but that's really nice that you'd give me some of yours."

"...D'you think cool rocks would work, too?" He's got a few of those already.

[wcrkerbee]

Bee. Have you learned nothing about Wheeljack through Ratchet's interactions with him? What if he offers to show them to you?

"I've learned that he's maybe the most headstrong mech you've ever seen, and that Ratchet would still deal with him if he ever crossed whatever lines they've set."

"...And, um, that's the other thing. He wouldn't cross those lines. Wouldn't do anything I didn't want him to."

Vents. With a stiff hiking of his doorwings, Bee sets his servos on his hips.

"So, what if I were to take him up on that, huh? As if it'd be anyone else's business."

[wcrkerbee]

"Oh -- no, that's alright, as long as it doesn't have any... connotations?"

What a strange, not-so-little guy. He has no idea what they're talking about.

"If it's just a general term for nonhuman species, then that only makes sense, I guess. I sure am not a human and all."

@wcrkerbee replied to this post:

"...Xeno...??" This may be crack but he's ever-curious okay.

--

Titus opened his mouth... then closed it. This-- xeno, looked much like the mechs he'd met once before. Or, at least, somewhat. The plating style was vastly different...!

" As in-- 'alien', a nonhuman. " Titus replied, though he paused slightly... With himself having indeed allied with those he was sure was of this mech's species, perhaps he should be mindful of such a term.

" I did not mean disrespect, " the Lieutenant added on. " It is... a term, often used within the Imperium. However, I will be more mindful. "

"She's pretty even when she's being petty, more like."

[wcrkerbee]

CLOSE, but no cygar~.

"--Wait." He didn't expect this to actually be someone he might know; so many grayfaces are just kind of amorphous, meddlesome entities, he hadn't been thinking much of it.

But.

"................"

He covers his optics, fighting between bashful and pleased.

You and Starscream? Holding hands? I ship it.

"Miko? Is that you?"

[wcrkerbee]

>> @tacticturn replied: Starscream quirking a single brow ridge at him as they are standing there right now holding hands.

"I have a hater image to uphold."

[wcrkerbee]

Bumblebee and Starscream, whaaaat? Yeah, that's, uh, that's so crazy. Totally wild. He could never.

[wcrkerbee]

...He shouldn't ask. He's not curious. Definitely not. But he's also definitely not about to ask Ratchet about pre-war array mods, because that would be so embarrassing, as if this isn't already enough --

"What... what could possibly count as 'special' if two entire spikes is nothing."

“The others are far less—!” His servos flail, as if they could catch the words he’s looking for. “Out there! Unique??”

[wcrkerbee]

Primus. He needs a drive. Probably a highly road-law-offensive one.

[wcrkerbee]

Slowly, by the way. Methodically, but savagely. As painful as he could make it until Bee said something, and then as permanently as he could when Bee wouldn't.

And then he left him to die. His worth as a living, thinking mech, meaningless.

Cast aside with glee.

Oh, but yes. He's an Autobot. He ought to be the bigger person here.

He should let Megatron feel more victory.

[wcrkerbee]

There's a time and place for emotional semantics.

This is neither.

Of course he wouldn't "bully" anyone else for wanting companionship, being lonely -- but when the mech that destroyed their world and ripped out his throat, which is just one personal atrocity out of who-knows-how-many, says that at the end of the day he just wants friends,

Yeah. Bee's gonna laugh.

[wcrkerbee]

'Companionship', he says. Wild.

[wcrkerbee]

@stellarcuriosity told him to come post a "tasteful crop" to "school" somebody talking about waists and. He doesn't even know. Whatevar. Here.

Is he at least winning some snacks or something.

⚫ Black  - Do you think you and your muse would be friends in real life?

🟡 Yellow - What is the best motivation for you to write your muse?

OOC ;; Probably nnnnnoooooooot. Not for any like, overtly bad reason, I'm just not great at talking to people and I don't think Bee would have the motivation to pick up my social slack. We'd be amicable at best, like coworkers or something.

OOC ;; Nothing fills me with muse for him like rewatching stuff. Even just seeing gifs of Bee has me like, OOOO that's my boy my baby boooyyyyyy. I gotta rewatch TFP again soon.

[wcrkerbee]

⚪ White - What drew you so much to your muse? 🟤 Brown - What is a headcannon you are particularly proud of?

OOC ;; White answered here!

OOC ;; [fax machine noises]

Aaaauhhhhh. Suddenly I've never made a headcanon in my life.

I think maybe the one I like poking at the most is everything to do with Bumblebee being in the last generation that the Allspark's able to spit out in the war. I called it like a printer running out of ink recently. It's fun to think about the possible, usually mundane ramifications of the idea that the Allspark was already ailing.

[wcrkerbee]

⚪ White - What drew you so much to your muse?

OOC ;; I have chronic yellow sidekick syndrome, evidently.

No, but like, I really like silly and sassy characters who can also be very earnest and dedicated when necessary. Bee is a little more on the latter side than most of my muses. I'm also more drawn to the mentee side of muses than mentors, looking at it from a not strictly familial sense. Upstarts who still have a lot to learn, but who are overwhelmingly eager to do so, for one reason or another.
