Day 21; Found, but Is It Too Late?

Fandom; transformers Characters: Crosshairs, Drift, Jamie (OC), Cogman, Hound Rating: T Description; Crosshairs and Drift find Jamie. They contact Hounbd to help them. Drift is terrified they were too late, while Crosshairs hides how terrified he is.

Pt. 3 of 5 Pt. 2 here.

Angstober; just breathe Whumpober; blanket, found family AI-lesstober; oxygen deprivation OC-tober; doing something stupid Flufftober; soothing touch

Jamie tries to keep walking down the path in the woods and ignore the cold. She doesn't last long before falling into the snow. Struggling to get back up. Jamie realizes this was stupid while feeling like she's arguing with her own mind. Yes, I should be dead.

Crosshairs and Drift are terrified of the state Jamie will be in once they find her and that this will have to be reported even if they don't need the medics to help Jamie. Following a trail of footprints isn't easing their worry. It's been twenty-two years. Optimus wouldn't decide Jamie can't fight with us would he? Drift worries. If… she's alive.

The two mechs can't believe what they're looking at. Both remember what Jamie did on their vacation with their friends two years ago. And this is why I need to hide how I'm feeling. Crosshairs thinks, seeing how terrified Drift is. But I don't know how long I can keep this up. Crosshairs contacts Cogman to let him know Jamie has been found and Hound. Knowing Jasmine and Ratchet have their hands full with a preschooler. He thinks Hound will be enough to help them but wishes he could contact his sister. It's not just because it's two in the morning that he's thinking he better not contact her.

Hound is confused about why he's being called at two in the morning. "She what?!" He yells, waking up Ironhide, "frag, I'll be right there," the lamp turns on, "no time to explain. I'll tell you later." Within minutes, Hound rushes out the door. "You said 'she' Hound, that's all I need to hear to know what happened," Ironhide sighs, "damn it. Maybe I should go there. Crosshairs and Drift are going to be a wreck. Especially Drift."

Hound walks out of the groundbridge in his bipedal form. He can't believe what he's seeing. Not again. This is getting scary. He thinks, seeing Jamie lying in the snow. "She's unresponsive," Drift panics. Hound sees how worried Crosshairs is. He tells them to get Jamie on a stretcher and transforms. The two mechs get Jamie on a stretcher with a blanket, her the stretcher in the back of Hound's alt mode, and get in. Hound drives as fast as possible.

It's three thirty in the morning when the three get Jamie into the room Cogman set up. They know two hours in the cold is enough to kill, and Jamie being in the snow added to how quickly she was getting cold. Hound finding a pulse isn't reassuring as it's slow, and Jamie's oxygen level is at 85%. Without saying anything, Cogman shoves Crosshairs and Drift out of the room and closes the door behind them. "That's not going to help them," Hound argues, "they're traumatized. To the point where it doesn't matter if they're watching us or not." Crosshairs takes Drift to their room.

The two sit on the bed. "She's dying," Drift comments, terrified. Crosshairs hates feeling Drift trembling. Worried they will have a problem if he can't continue to hide how terrified he is. Crosshairs doesn't know what to say to get Drift to calm down. "I can't believe this is happening," Drift panics. Crosshairs hates hearing Drift hyperventilating. He carefully makes Drift lie on the bed. Crosshairs sits on his knees over Drift and puts his hands on Drift's shoulders. "Easy, look at me." Scrap, I can't say anything about Jamie this time. What to do? Crosshairs worries. "Just breathe." Crosshairs tries a breathing exercise. Drift takes a few minutes to relax. Crosshairs lies next to him, taking his hand. Crosshairs has found this helps Drift relax. The two worry about Jamie.

"We need to keep her warm constantly," Hound tells Cogman, "but I don't want to turn the living room into a temporary medbay. This electric blanket should work close to being by the fireplace. Also, the humidified air in the ventilator. She should be warm within an hour. Then we can get her off the vent," Hound sighs, "I can't believe she did this again." "I think you need to stay," Cogman comments, "even if she'll be ok by the end of the day. I don't think her guardians will be ok. Especially with the required discussion." Cogman and Hound go to check on Crosshairs and Drift.

The two see Crosshairs and Drift are asleep, holding hands. Evidence that Drift was crying is still present. The two hate how Crosshairs acted like he was ok. "I wish he'd stop doing that," Hound sighs, "he's hurting himself rather than helping Drift." The two leave the room. Hound goes back to monitoring Jamie, not looking forward to the meeting he'll have to arrange in six hours.

(To be continued)

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

#we used to be a proper country #or something #this post is brought to you by me coming back from work and being like okay what now 🧍🏻‍♂️#i mean obviously i have stuff to do but these are just chores and what i need what i have been programmed to need is a 40 minute long #episode of stupid cw show with a gay ship that's never gonna go canon... :(((#tumblr #fandom

getting real fed up with my peers treating teenagers like shit. how did you forget so fucking quickly what it's like to be them. shame on you.

#this is about people my age getting into internet discourse with teenagers #and calling them stupid and overall belittling them and being a jerk to them #like. literally just block them if they are being a shithead #teenagers are shitheads sometimes #youre not going to change them #they need to grow up on their own #and an adult making fun of them isnt going to help #in fact it is going to hinder the process #if you want to try to help you need to be kind #if theyre not receptive to that and are still being an asshole then it is not worth it #and you need to go do something else with your time #you are a fucking adult

Sometimes being an artist is feeling like a baker seeing a chemist making the deadliest liquid in the world and wishing you could make the deadliest liquid as well but you're a baker, not a chemist, and then you feel like your bread is worthless

#my stupid thoughts #this doesn't make any sense and that's the whole point #sometimes you see cool art and you love it and wish you could do something as cools as that #but it's simply *not* your style at all #and you end up thinking what you make is bad though it's not #it's literally just different #anyway that's me I'm the baker

hey btw if you're in the USA at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

#watching ppl go from being like ''support neurodivergent ppl~~!"#to being like ''if this is going to give u a panic attack ur fuckken stupid''#like..... gets me #yeah man. i know im going to be triggered by it . in the old fashioned term. it is GOING to give me a panic attack. it's pretty much certai #and i shouldn't have to tell u about what i have survived for you to be okay with that.#you can just trust that i ALSO don't want me to react to it. i'm not gonna be having a FUN time.#dismissing that bc you think it's stupid.... like is the whole problem.#these sounds are workshopped by entire teams of people to get you to pay attention and move quickly.#they arent meant to be fun and exciting.#OBVIOUSLY it's gonna set ppl off.#but yeah there's something so fuckken demeaning about ppl being like. well that trigger isn't valid bc u haven't undergone X #dude i have ptsd bc i was abused as a child. like plain and simple. the fact im 30 and afraid of the dark tells you how bad it was.#i shouldn't have to ask u for permission to be mentally ill.#the reason it's a fucking disorder and not a fucking choice is that I DO NOT CONTROL IT.#like how is it any different from when ppl are like ''oh public speaking isn't that scary'' like FOR YOU #for YOU this isn't scary. now if i could fucking eat my own amygdala...

well. once again saved by the cringe reflex 👍

#in some weird way i owe my life to the endless pit of shame bc #sometimes hitting yourself with the 'girl you are 20 years of age you're too old for this' really is the quickest way to stop yourself from #doing something stupid #that and the fact that it was taking me forever to figure out how to. oook that's it for tonight #sorry for the levels of oversharing this evening. it will happen again

trans men are allowed to paint their nails.

trans men are allowed to wear dresses or skirts, or any generally "feminine" clothing.

trans men are allowed to wear makeup.

trans men are allowed to embrace their more "feminine" side.

it does not make us any less of a man.

EDIT! : ALL MEN are allowed to do these things, but this post is more centred around the idea that "oh, people who 'claim' to be men and wear dresses and shit are not trans!" yes, we are. skirt go spinny. painted nails are nice. its not that hard to understand.
