Thinking about Prime in Disguise Bumblebee just...bending down and running his fingers through the dirt. Laughing when ice freezes on his windshield on a cold day and he can't use his wiper blades until he breaks it off. Whooping when he turns a corner and there's a giant puddle from the rainstorm for him to splash through. Driving up a mountain backroad and slowing down to let an elk cross. Cranking up his radio during bumper to bumper freeway congestion and singing along to Rear Axle's timeless hits because oh my goodness, they still play Rear Axle on his favorite station! Who cares that he's stuck in traffic, he has time to admire the new sportscars stuck around him, new models he's never seen before and updated versions of vehicles he thought of scanning once upon a faroff time.
He wakes up in the morning to birdsong he forgot existed. He chokes on his own words when he realizes a tiny little insect bumblebee has wandered onto his dashboard and can't figure out how to get past the glass, and gently tries to coax it towards his now-open windows, even though it might be a little risky on the road to roll down his windows with no one in the driver's seat. He wanders the scrapyard and dusts off the "relics" stored higher up than humans can reach, and smiles when he finds familiar items amidst the piles, like an old remote control car that reminds him of Raf. He goes on a detour just to park near a riding school so he can admire the horses in the paddock. One of them pauses from grazing and trots over to the edge of the fence and eyes him back, and Bumblebee whispers a greeting when he's certain no humans in the proximity can hear.
He once lived on Earth for so long but he hasn't been on Earth in forever and now that he's back, now that Optimus sent him there with a new mission, 'Bee can't help but thrill at all the little things he never appreciated in full until he realized he missed them so much. Earth is full of chaos by dint of Unicron and yeah Earth is void of so many high tech charms that Cybertron has, but scrap it all, Earth is full of BEAUTY of its own and he'd be a fool to not let his spark sing to the mundane music around him, the little things that make Earth home.

i saw a person walking with headphones on across the street, and they were singing a song loudly, they seemed to love the song very much. my younger sister and i could see the happiness radiate out of them, it just made me so happy, and i felt a little hopeful for humanity, which i have not felt in awhile. after seeing this beautiful person i told my sister that that person is going to be me in the future, not because it is true, because i am very introverted, but because being like that person is my goal. i wish i could be so happy that i could just sing somewhat loudly to a song i love, with headphones on, and not a care in the world how others around me view or judge me.
On anon because this is embarrassing but a few weeks back we were going through things and the system i am a part of kind of split off a part based off of your depiction of dirk. We dont have many character introjects so congratulations your passion project was officially deemed raw enough for our episode brain to split off on.
We waited to send anything until the part himself became rounded enough to understand and is okay with this being sent, he has tried to ramble about the irony of such a type of character being a concentrated part of a trauma disorder but i didnt listen enough to have anything to recount for you sorry lmao.
I keep coming back to this ask in my drafts every now and again because I am at a loss for how to address it.... there are many things I think I could say, like how astonishing it is that my dirks are having this much of an impact on people, about how we are all just connected here on earth and can interact in these simple, distant ways yet leave enormous impacts on one another... it is one of those things that will never stop being moving to me. I hope things are less stressful now. godspeed
