I'm pretty sure I've admitted it on here before, but I actually do really love The Last Jedi. I think it's a really good movie! Well made, well acted, beautifully shot, the characters and their development is compelling. I enjoy it!
I do not, however, think it's a very good Star Wars movie.

also jj abrams is NOT innocent in all of this. like not even touching all the garbage he did in tros, the fact that he had absolutely no plan for a story beyond tfa ABSOLUTELY laid the groundwork for the sequel trilogy being the shitshow that it was. like sure he was excited about finn and john boyega but if he cared that much maybe he could have. planned an arc for the character.

There are so many very confident posts about what the sequel trilogy was setting up that are so very reluctant to admit that their conclusion are and were up to interpretation.

LMAOO OKAY IMAGINE 40s!BUCKY (like tfa stark expo version) MAGICALLY TELEPORTING TO MODERN DAY, and Sharon’s bitch ass is hanging all over him, flirting hardcore, and is absolutely thrilled bc he’s actually giving her some attention. BUT THEN HE SEES THE READER AND IS LIKE “oh wow who is THAT” and leaves her alone to go woo the gorgeous dame. I can picture her face getting all red and embarrassed and upset. And Sam and Nat and Tony are in the background giggling.
GOD I LOOOVEEE THISSSS 40's heart has my heart cause this blushing soldier would be such a perfect mix of devilishly handsome and adorably shy.
-
"Shit" Tony huffed watching his time portal experiment start up and fail for the fourth time in a row while Bruce continued to medal with the dials, resetting the machine once more. "Why does it keep doing that"
"Give it a secondary power source, there's not enough juice with the first one"
Tony nodded, rummaging through a pile of knick knacks on his desk, grabbing a vial and adding it to the generator.
"Alright, set the timer to 19:00 hours and 40 in the past. Let's see if we can just travel to yesterday first before messing with going back years" He snorted, as Bruce punched in the time before hitting the start up button. The machine started to rumble before growing hot, the dials and buttons spinning and clicking on its own, parts starting to pop off.
"Oh shit!" Tony ducked under the table, shielding himself from getting knocked out as the portal grew more powerful, a force filed growing, knocking down things around the lab.
"What the hell did you use as a power source?!" Bruce yelled over the high pitched whizz the machine started to make, blinding light filling the room before disappearing, leaving a cloud of smoke in its place.
"I don't know, I just grabbed something that look like it'd fit" Toy shrugged between coughs as the smoke dissipated, squinting when he realized the platform wasn't empty.
Someone was standing there.
"What the hell..."
Blinking with bright blue eyes was a young soldier, dressed in a fresh, clean and pressed uniform, looking like a lost puppy while Tony and Bruce blinked in both confusion and amusement.
"Banner what the hell did you do with the timer?!"
"You're vial set everything into over drive, it must've recalibrated to 1940 instead of a couple of hours ago!" Bruce threw his hands up while the younger version of Bucky stared at the lab with child like wonder, his eyes twinkling as if it were Christmas day.
"Holy shit..." He breathed out seeing the vast technology, his mind still reeling over what was happening. One minute, he was on his way to see Steve and take some girls dancing and next thing he knew, he was sucked through a loop.
"Dear God-alright, uh-Barnes?" Tony waved the soldier over, mentally debating on what to tell him.
"Mr. Stark? It's-it's an honor, sir" Bucky shook Tony's hand before standing tall before him with his back straight, ever the bright eyed Sargent. Tony scratched his head before letting him take a seat, figuring honesty was the best police.
"Sargent. This may take a while"
-
Bucky understood bits and pieces of what Tony explained to him while getting a tour of the compound, the common room being the last place for him to check out. The team alternated between greeting and secretly cooing over the adorable young Bucky while also simultaneously laughing at Tony. At the very least, the billionaire was lucky the actual Bucky was away on a mission with you and Steve; there was only so much he could handle in a day. The soldier decided to hang back in the living room with the others, happily chatting away with Sam and Nat.
Then there was Sharon
"Hey Soldier" She winked, giving him a smirk causing the young Bucky to blush, throwing her a flirty smile right back.
"Nice to meet ya' doll" Bucky drawled out making her giggle, his lip catching between his teeth when she flipped her hair back.
"Aren't you sweet" She whispered, her heart beating a little faster when he moved towards her, his sweet baby blues gazing down at her intently. She'd tried a million times to get Bucky's attention before and he didn't look at her twice. She wasn't about to lose her chance with the new one.
"Look whose talking" Bucky chuckled back, his naturally flirty nature taking over with ease, after all it would be rude for him to ignore her.
"Someone's gotta protect him from this randy she goat" Sam whispered while Nat snorted, watching the two of them continuing to flirt, Sharon's hands toying with the buttons on Bucky's uniform, making her way up to brush his collar.
There was no way she was going to just let the gorgeous soldier go.
The machine wasn't fixed any time soon so Bucky was given a room to stay in. He loved the feeling of modern day sweats, looking cute as ever in some comfy joggers and a cotton tshirt, his fluffy cropped hair always neatly brushed and face shaven.
He was a Sargent after all. He always looked his best, even in lounge clothing.
There hadn't been a day where Sharon left Bucky alone. She clung onto his side, practically crawling up his leg day in and day out while the others side eyed the situation, keeping an eye out for the innocent Bucky.
"So, what's a soldier like you doin' without a girl, hm?" Sharon teased, pressing her hand to his chest, loving the way Bucky flirted back with her while the both of them sat in the common room with a movie playing in the background. Tony, Nat and Sam glanced at each other, quietly watching from their place in the kitchen while the blonde continued to giggle and blush, running her finger's through his hair.
"How do you keep your hair so soft, Sargent"
"Well, I- woah"
Sharon frowned when the soldier stopped talking half way after something- or someone- caught his attention. His eyes grew wide, a classic boyish smile appearing on his face when he saw the prettiest dame he'd ever laid his eyes on walk by the living room, making his heart flutter.
"who was THAT" Bucky stared in awe, seeing her stretch her arms up, still in some type of modern tactical suit, rubbing sleep from her eyes and yet she was still one of the most beautiful women he'd ever seen.
"Uh-excuse me" Sharon's face twisted watching Bucky stare are you like a love struck puppy, nearly jumping over the sofa so he could run and talk to you. He didn't take his eyes off you, practically swooning when he saw you pack away the gun from you holster.
"Huh-yeah, sorry-" Bucky mumbled, still focused on you, unbothered by the way Sharon's face was now red with embarrassment, seething at what he was doing.
"Look at this guy, he's not even hiding the fact that he's staring at y/n" Sam snorted while Tony and Nat snickered, watching the young Bucky watch you with heart eyes, "Aw man, he's got it bad"
"Hey y/n, looks like someone's got a little crush on you" Nat whispered, discreetly nodding to the living room. You nearly squeaked in surprise, seeing a very very young version of your boyfriend sitting on the couch, taking peeks over at you whilst ignoring the blonde who was still fighting for his attention.
"Tony, you did this, didn't you" You sighed while Tony smiled proudly, now fully invested in how all this was going to play out.
"I'll explain later. Go wash and change and you can talk to him"
As soon as you were out of the kitchen, Bucky scrambled to the group, cheeks tinted pink, bashful as ever, looking at the three smirking faces, wiggling their eyebrows at him.
"See something you like, soldier?" Nat prodded while Bucky nearly giggled, nodding.
"Who was that" He asked in earnest, truly curious to at least get your name.
"That would be y/n. I'll introduce you once she's back down. You might be her type, y'know" Sam winked knowing damn well he was your type. After all you were technically already dating. Bucky bounced on his heels, waiting patiently while Sharon huffed, refusing to move from her spot on the couch. You made your way back down after a shower to see an exited Sam and a shy Bucky along with a smug Tony and Nat.
"Y/n, meet young Buck" Sam smiled while you held your hand out, swooning at the way he shook it gently, throwing you smile few got to see, one he had when he got butterflies in his belly.
"Nice to meet you Sarge"
"Pleasures all mine, angel" Bucky whispered, leading you off to the living room to talk to you more, offering you a seat, wondering if you wanted anything to snack on or drink, forgetting Sharon's existence entirely. Sharon nearly opened her mouth to say something, immediately shutting it with a satisfied smirk seeing the other Bucky walk in followed by Steve. Hopefully he'd see his girlfriend was a cheating whore, flirting with someone else even if it was him from the past. Her brain wracked itself in hopes that this would all crash and burn while Bucky frowned the closer he got.
"What the fuck Stark" Bucky scrunched his face walking in on some punk flirting with his girl, only to realize said punk was a younger version of him.
"Relax, I'll fuse you two together" Tony shrugged while Bucky's face twisted again, grumbling when his younger self kissed you hand again, pulling you up for a dance while fumbling with a phone he'd just managed to figure out.
"They're cute" Steve grinned, nudging Bucky playfully while Bucky rolled his eyes, smiling to himself a little while later when you caught his eyes, throwing him a wink. You laid your head against the young soldiers chest while he swayed with you, unaware that he was being watched by everyone else, in his own world with just you in it.
"You better fuse us together" Bucky hissed, narrowing his eyes when you giggled at something that was whispered in you ear; Tony snorted with a shit eating grin on his face.
"Why Barnes, scared of a little competition?"
Before Bucky could retort, Sharon was up and walking with purpose, stalking right towards Bucky.
"Y'know they're both flirting hard, right? Aren't you two dating?"
Bucky wordlessly stared at her while the others looked at her with confusion, the desperation becoming embarrassing.
"Sharon, shut up" Sam deadpanned while her mouth gaped open and shut before storming off.
"Back to what I was saying. Scared, Barnes?"
"You should be the scared one" Bucky sassed back, knowing exactly what his younger self was capable of; he knew that innocent boyish charm did wonders when it needed to. That being said, even his past self recognized real love, gravitating towards his one true soul mate after just seeing her once.
He watched the two of you continue to dance and whisper, the young soldier tipping your chin up, eyes flicking to your lips, his soft pouty pink lips so close to yours, leaning down so he could press a kiss so sweet-
"Alright that's it, punk get your hands off her!"

TFA TEAM PRIME HUMAN REDESIGNS FINALLY
FUCK
+headcannons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Optimus: gotta stay focused
looks too old compared to his bot form.
I find it impossible for Optimus to be more than a million years old in this canon. In the least, he's older than 1000 years and since we have mfs that are canonically over 70 million years old(fagatron iykyk) compared to that, he feels like a dude in his early-to-mid-30's being the group parent.
---
-I made him more youthful, gave him curly hair, and tailored his clothing to actually look like his bot form.
-workaholic
-on the cusp of barley being able to hold his liquor
-doesn't own a pair of pajamas until Sari gets some for him
-usually forgets to put them on, but appreciates the gesture
-stays active for like, 3 days until he can't fight off sleep with work brain anymore, and unceremoniously passes out on the couch to sleep for a full 24 hours
-ratchet sighs and puts a blanket over him as per routine
-frequently checks security feed
-elf on the shelf despiser
-early morning talks with jazz and ratchet over coffee (they all wake up at 6 am)
-half thrives on caffeine and a vigorous training protocol
-is a dog person, loves German shepherds to death
David sama, pls forgive me ily very much
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ratchet: to old for this nonsense
doesn't match his body type in the slightest.
Ratchet is really old, he's got a sallow face and a gramp gut, how dare they square him. He's wayyy too angular and peachy looking.
-I gave him his luscious curves back, adding all the equipment id expect a field medic to have because he is a field medic, not a regular doctor. I changed his facial proportions, and also made his face gaunt, for that dead inside PTSD look.
---
-drinks his coffee black with brown sugar, literally drinks it piping hot
-is one of those old people who complains about noise
-confiscates bumblebee and Sari's toy cars, and puts them in a high up cabinet
-neither of them know how to bypass the child safety lock lmao
-casual clothes includes a lot- a l o t of plaid shirts, and 10 pairs of the same blue jeans
-tunes out bulkhead and prowls convos about birdwatching
-big fan of political satire dramas
-Sentinel doesn't approve
-Ratchet doesn't give a rats ass about what he thinks of course
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bumblebee: professional smart-ass
doesn't match his body type/age.
Bumblebees holoform is presented as a 10-12 year old child specifically for the fact that he's short, and the comedic relief. Total ass
I set his human age as 19-20 years old, making him more of a big brother to sari because that og model is disappointingly lackluster
---
-Bumblebee is a scrappy wisecracking punk, like an adhd kid who just got roller skates for Christmas.
-since he doesn't have wheels, I feel like he'd wear skates instead to emulate the feeling
-terrible at watching where he's going cuz he's too busy trying to show off, so ratchet makes him wear all that padding + training wheels
-legit despises the padding and training wheels
-Jealous of Blurr for mastering roller blades lmao.
-his favorite games are choose your fighter and fps
-saw ONE ancient ass assassins creed playthrough and begged ratchet to install hidden tasers in his arm bands (was denied)
-Sari used her key to do it instead
-self appointed "rizzler"
-Optimus has zero idea of what that means and thinks it's code for something dubious
-Ratchet knows what it means and thinks it's silly
-"I' was something of a rizzler myself back in my day, kid"
-bumblebee cringes
-loves summer and swimming
-wants to be the fastest thing in the sea because y'know, it's bumblebee
-is spooked from the beach for awhile cuz he saw sharks in Prowls nature documentary
-there are infact, no sharks in lake Erie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bulkhead: big guy, bigger heart
doesn't match his body type/aspirations.
Jesus fuck he's so wide?? And his belly migrated to his shoulders?? I'm gonna be honest, I really hate this design. I feel like it contributed to the "brute strength = stupid" take that most in the fandom associates with him.
---
-Bulkhead is a SWEET. CARING. NERD YOU FOOLS. He's like the male version of a tall goth gf-
-a tall-nerdy-farm hand-physics bf, You got me fucked up.
-Its already shown that bulkhead really likes art in Addition to creating it. He hates being only seen as the "muscle" so it wouldn't make sense for him to lean into that.
-bunny slippers that him and sari made together(she provided the buttons)
-the slippers go missing sometimes (basically considered community property unless he's wearing them)
(ratchet and prowl are the main offenders)
-frequent art museum goer
-really likes watching cooking shows, but is too shy to make food himself
-Owns a ton of star maps
-Really wants a treehouse that he, bumblebee and sari can hang out in
-pillowfort enjoyer
-casually reads quantum physics at the beach
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prowl: draft dodger
Doesn't look like him at all.
Prowls holoform being a mustachioed,white, police officer was an actual jumpscare for 7 y/o me, I kid you not
---
- I know this bitch would not wear a helmet (you can't force him to) que windswept hair
-Not as much as starscreams, for obvious reasons but yk
-prowl is like one of those "shoes are a prison for your feet"
-emo hipster
-has a pet cactus named "planty"
-bumblebee heckles him for it
-can and has brought his cactus with him on early evening motorcycle rides
-the helmet is reserved for his cactus, bring your own >:(
-salad consumer
-him and jazz share custody of the cactus
-repeat victim of the cat distribution system
-ratchet has probably spent hours telling him they can't keep any animals at base
-frequent midnight picnics with jazz
-and beachcombing
-and roaming around antique stores cuz jazz wants to know what vinyl records are
-got a mug with an attempted pink chibi cat with big round shiny eyes painted onto it, courtesy of bulkhead trying to find an artsyle
-cherishes this mug to death
-has a shrine dedicated to it

Hi!
How would TFA team and elite guard react to buddy children?
(Like for example: Buddy adopted some children)
Ooohhh! This is going to be fun! Since you did not specify which characters specifically, I will be picking them at random.
Hope you enjoy!
Optimus, Ratchet, Jazz, and the Jettwins reaction to single parent Human Buddy
SFW, platonic, familial, Human reader
TFA
Buddy was Sari's babysitter.
Well, her human babysitter. Professors Sumdac thought it was important to at least have another person in Sari's life that wasn't him or a robot.
And they were a great babysitter. They had the job roughly 3 years before the Autobots came to Detroit.
That was roughly the time they had recently adopted a set of baby triplets. They had opened their door one night and a classic wicker basket filled with the babies. The note on the basket simply said to take care of them. Buddy's original plan was to take them to Fanzone in the morning.
But Buddy had gotten attached to them.
Buddy explained their new situation to the Professor which was met with understanding and a pay raise with additional medical insurance.
Buddy's friends had noticed their sudden absences and tired look on their face. Everyone was getting worried. So, an intervention was called.
"Why is everyone here?"--Buddy
"It's an intervention kid."--Ratchet
"For who?"--Buddy
"For you! You've been so sleepy and tired recently."--Bumblebee
"Not to mention you missed our game tournament."--Sari
"The gaming--Oooh! I forgot to tell you guys!"--Buddy
"Forgot to tell us what?"--Optimus
"I'll show you guys tomorrow! Make sure to bring the Elie Guard if you guys want!"--Buddy
The next day Buddy came into the base with a baby carrier and two in the stroller.
To say everyone was surprised was an understatement.
Optimus
Vietnam flashbacks to the first episode.
Optimus is surprised to find out that Buddy was taking care of new born children. Even more finding out they are triplets.
Twins are something that rarely happens on Cybertron. Even fewer after the war was over. Triplets were in a sense unheard of.
He is nervous to even touch the little ones. They looked so fragile and tiny! They were even smaller than Sari!
The babies on the other hand were enamored by the firetruck.
By the end of 15 minutes, Optimus had his servos with the triplets who were crawling around and hugging his digits.
He swears to protect these kids with his life.
"Gah!"--Baby 1
"Aw they like you Prime! Isn't that cute, wait are you crying?"--Buddy
Optimus sniffling and trying not to let the tears spill.
"...no-no... I'm fine..."--Optimus
Ratchet
At first Ratchet thinks the smaller humans are the equivalent of human minibots.
Then he finds out they are babies, he stops for a good couple of seconds.
Rebooting: Grampa mode activated.
As said before, it's rare to have twins on Cybertron. He had never seen triplets in all of his technical career.
He suddenly understands why Buddy has been acting the way they had for the past months. They were taking care of the kids.
Ratchet makes sure to brush up on his knowledge of babies to help Buddy out a bit. While Buddy takes a break or a much needed nap, he makes sure the kids are well taken care of.
"Aww. The Doc bot's gone soft!"--Bumblebee
"Hear that kiddo. That's the sound of a bot who's going to get strapped to the medical slab in 5 minutes if he doesn't quit."--Ratchet
"Bah!"--Baby 2
Jazz
Jazz is floored by the amount of cuteness these babies are.
He totally gets why Buddy would be tired from these kids.
It's bad enough trying to keep track of the Jettwins and they are at least old enough to be here. Those babies still have a long way to go before even walking!
Jazz handles the babies with the utmost care. Makes sure that the babies are having fun while being safe.
The babies themselves are enamored by Jazz's voice. He is the to go bot for nap time. The babies fall asleep in record time.
"So these little guys are all related?"--Jazz
"Yeah they are."--Buddy
"I wish you luck then. If the Jettwins were hard enough now..."--Jazz
"...I know Jazz, I know..."--Buddy
Jetfire and Jetstorm
The twins are freaking out!
In a good way!
They've never seen another set of twins back on Cybertron, much less human twins.
Now they know that they know that there can be triplets!...
Jazz has to calm them down before they can hold the babies. And they have to promise Buddy that they will not use their powers around the babies.
The twins once they have the babies are uncharacteristically quiet and still. They take in the tiniest details of the babies and how each one differs from the other.
They promise each other to look after them, even when they get older. Siblings have to stay together. The triplets are now the twins siblings now. Buddy has two more robo kids to take care of.
"Buddy! It's my turn to get 1 but Jetfire isn't letting them go!"--Jetstorm
"Jetfire, listen to your brother and pass your siblings to him, gently."--Buddy
"Please! Just a little longer!"--Jetfire
"You either pass your siblings or they come with me and you have to go back to Sentinel."--Buddy
"Here brother!"--Jetfire
Somewhere on the Steelhaven.
"...Someone just insulted me..."--Sentinel

If you could change anything about the Prequel and the Sequel trilogies, what would it be?
I love the prequels, in all their both brilliant and dumbass glory, so as tempted as I am to say that I would have had Lucas find someone else to direct the prequels after Spielberg said no (I think he was firm in saying Lucas should do them?), I really love that mix of something genuinely good and something genuinely bonkers. I would change the Tuskens storyline to be less racist/the Neimoidians to have a different accent and I would put more Asian Jedi into the scenes, if you're going to base them on Buddhist monks, we could use a little more real world reflecting of that. The sequels on the other hand need an overhaul from top to bottom. At a bare minimum they needed to have at least planned the storyline out ahead of time and had a single vision instead of the tug-o-war that we got. I would not have made Kylo and Rey's characters all about each other, I would have spread the connections around more, given Kylo and Luke more than just the one scene together, I would have given Finn a better storyline, I would have given Poe a better backstory, I would have connected the storyline better in the movies to the world they inhabited (ie, use more established settings and alien races, etc.), I would have kept the OT trio to secondary characters, but also let them have reactions to each others' deaths in the same room, I wouldn't have made Han/Leia into that because how am I supposed to have fun with rewatching the originals knowing everything went to shit, I would not have brought Palpatine back (or at least I would have set it up from the beginning otherwise), etc. The sequels were in a difficult place, but even as many issues as I have with TFA (too much of a palette swap of ANH for my tastes), the pieces for a satisfying story were there, it's just that everyone wanted to take it in different directions and none of the three movies really seemed to get what Star Wars' themes were. I love the characters and there were great moments in there, but I would have sat them down with a bunch of Lucas interviews about what the themes of Star Wars was before starting and tried to give them a better foundation for understanding it.

*enables you* what happened with TLJ 👃
Tumblr media
After all these years I still can't properly find words to explain how deeply betrayed I felt after the credits rolled and I shuffled out of the movie theater with everybody else. There was a TON of hype surrounding this movie, an absolute fuckton. I only saw positive reviews about it, the cast, the director, the plot. I got excited to see where Rian Johnson & Co. would take the ST.
The only remotely negative comment I saw before watching the movie was a fandom blog saying they didn't like what happened to Poe. Since this blog was about racism in fandom, I knew something was off. That was my only warning.
And y'know, it was like, five minutes in? Ten minutes? And Poe makes a "Yo mama" joke at Hux? I used to go into movies with an open mind and spent days gathering my thoughts about them because I was always slow to react, slow to gather my thoughts into coherent strings of words. It's how I enjoyed Michael Bay productions and JJ Abrams' love affair with lens flare. I never got actively angry with a movie I was watching, and I was fucking angry by the time the movie ended. I still remember texting a friend while standing out in front of the theater because I was so confused. The response to TLJ was so positive so why did I come out of the movie so frustrated and confused and dissatisfied with the whole thing?
It's been years and we all know how this movie divided the Star Wars fandom and just... broke Fandom Spaces in a way I never expected. We all know what TLJ did and didn't do, and how TROS provided the final nail in the coffin that was the ST experiment. But back then, all I saw was positive commentary about the themes and messages of TLJ, how it portrayed failure and the dangers of putting someone like Luke Skywalker on a pedestal, how the Force was female, how... important it was to see Poe get characterized as a hotheaded hotshot who needed to be demoted, slapped around, and stunned in order to learn some kind of lesson, how important it was to see Finn lose everything he gained in TFA so that he could relearn how not to be selfish or something while starring in a fucking incredibly tone-deaf B plot, how Rey... I'm not sure exactly what because she didn't need training anyway and then spent most of her time trying to bring Ben Swolo back to the light????? Rose was so promising as someone who grew up under the FO's thumb but she and Kelly were fucking abandoned by Disney so I don't know if Rose existing was actually a good idea if it meant giving Kelly unending trauma. Mark slipped up by calling Luke "Jake" and expressing his displeasure in front of cameras, and I was so fucking baffled and alienated by his character after knowing how his story ended in ROTJ that I couldn't connect with whatever lessons I and he are supposed to be learning. JJ set up Snoke like a mystery box and Rian just yeeted him off without so much as a fucking explanation so what was the point of that? Hux was a fucking joke. Phasma was barely there. The only character that Rian cared about was fucking Kylo Ren and Adam says years later that he was never supposed to get a redemption arc anyway.
Like, this was the movie everyone hyped up? This was the movie that didn't answer any questions left unasked by TFA and didn't bother to move forward with character development for any of the known characters? I spent money watching a slow space chase that ended on a planet made of salt and killed off Luke for Reasons? Am I stupid? Am I dumb? Am I a peasant incapable of understanding the masterpiece Rian directed, this so-called Best Star Wars Movie Since ESB?
But I couldn't say anything. I couldn't be dogpiled for hating such a empowering movie for women, a diverse and inclusive movie that had the likes of John and Kelly and Oscar. I couldn't be lumped in with the Star Wars dudebros with their raging misogynistic and racist takes on the movie, the cast, Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm, Disney, etc. I couldn't be seen as one of them just because I didn't like a movie that I should like, I'm supposed to like. So I sat in silence, read meta, witnessed the fucking catastrophic explosion around some wild ass AO3 fandom essays written by a racist OG member of OTW about Finn/Poe, saw hate piled on black and bipoc fans, saw r*ylo fans come for John and John clap back at them, just saw an absolute fuckton of hate, and so by the time TROS came around I just... checked out. There was no way JJ could salvage what Rian had done and I was right. TROS was a corporate-run soulless garbage end to the Sequel Trilogy, but it ended just as The Mandalorian finished its first season and regained a lot of good will with this small story about a lonely Mandalorian bounty hunter who encountered a Force-sensitive Baby Yoda.
And then TBOBF/Season 3 of the Mando Show happened, just like how TLJ happened. All the promise, all the unanswered questions of the previous movie/season, all fucking dropped or provided with the worst, most unsatisfying answer. I'm sure others have found better answers and can live with what Star Wars gave us, but I haven't been able to. TLJ came out years and years ago, and I am still so bitter today. I'm still so bitter because TFA had such an incredibly compelling setup with such promising characters, and then TLJ Did That.
I got so heated while writing this. I'm still so mad. I'm still so bitter. I bury my head so deep in the sandbox I built for myself so that I don't have to think how Disney is twisting and contorting all these Mando'verse shows so that they all eventually lead to the ST, their precious hot potato child that just... didn't have to end the way they did if they actually had a fucking plan and fucking stuck the landing. I'll give the MCU this - their Phase 1? They fucking stuck the landing. I fell off the train tracks and haven't really watched the MCU since Captain Marvel, but at least they had a fucking plan and didn't fucking derail themselves like Disney did with the Sequel Trilogy.
I could be nice to people who like this movie but I'm not going to be. They can be nice on their own blogs.
Man, I can't even watch Knives Out or Glass Onion because my blood starts boiling. Just. TLJ did a lot to ruin what I hoped would be a positive and creative connection with Star Wars, and it took the Mando Show and the 2 minutes where Din and Luke locked eyes on the Imperial light cruiser to bring me back.
I'm gonna stop before I get way too heated for sleep.

Hi how about tfa starscream x F cybertronian reader NSFW were reader is part of team prime and has a huge crush on starscream but is bad at hiding it and starscream takes advantage of it in a way both will enjoy
My, my... first NSFW request. Hehe....
The Winning Team
Tumblr media
TFA Starscream x Femme Cybertronian Reader (NSFW)
Warnings: Valveplug, creampie

You had been with Optimus and his team of Autobots for a few months, having first joined the Earth-based team when you arrived with Sentinel Prime and his team. You had graduated from the Autobot Academy with flying colors, and were now a recent recruit in the Elite Guard. With some convincing from Jazz, Sentinel decided to station you on Earth to be optics for the Elite Guard and keep tabs on Team Prime. 
You were a part of the new and unique group of Autobots who had a flight-based alt mode, a trait that often ostracized you from other Autobots. It wasn’t your fault you were forged this way, and the suspicious glares from other Autobots in the academy were hard to ignore. But for the most part, Team Prime was accommodating and you did your best to be a valuable member of the team. 
Team Prime had gone out on a relatively simple energon-scouting mission and you had taken point, seeing as you were the only one who could fly. You flew high up and scanned the area, giving directions to Optimus and the others on the ground. The tedious and dull mission suddenly changed as missiles flew towards Optimus and the Autobots, carpeting the area with explosions and debris. Circling above was a silver and vibrant crimson fighter jet, and a familiar voice cut through the air. 
“Sorry to drop in, Autobots. But I’m afraid I’ll be claiming the energon. So good of you to lead me right to it,” Starscream gloated as he hovered above mid-air and admired his work. 
Optimus and the others were stunned, but for the most part only sustained scratches and dents from the seeker’s attack. You rush to the defense of your team, barrelling straight for Starscream and firing non-lethal blaster bolts at him. Starscream was taken by surprise, barely having the opportunity to barrel-roll out of the line of fire. “What’s this?! A flying Autobot?!” Starscream exclaimed in surprise. 
You circled back, flying full speed towards the Decepticon. Choosing a unique attack, you transformed mid-flight, poised to deliver a powerful flying kick to knock him out of the sky. To your surprise, you were stopped mid-air. Starscream had transformed and had caught your pede in his servo. Starscream flashed an amused grin, studying you closely, “My my, it would seem the Autobots have a new recruit. Pity that you chose the losing team.” 
Not wanting to be left in a vulnerable position, you jerked your pede away, before quickly launching an uppercut towards his helm. With little effort, Starscream easily snatched you by your wrist and held you firmly. “Quite the feisty one, hm?” the Decepticon’s voice purred with amusement, his face leaning in as if to taunt you. 
Your face flushed red and you tried to figure out how to get out of this compromising position. Why were you blushing? What’s wrong with you, he’s a Decepticon!? Your thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a metallic whirring. Optimus’s grappling hook grasped onto Starscream’s wing and violently pulled him down to the ground. The force of the pull made Starscream lose his grip, freeing you. After a couple seconds of Starscream shouting, his frame slammed into the ground, stunning him briefly. Starscream groaned as his frame ached with pain as he lay in a small crater. 
You land in front of the downed Decepticon and aim your blaster at him. “You wouldn’t shoot a helpless bot, would you?” Starscream raised his servos and gave you a disarmingly charming smile. 
It would be easy to neutralize him in his state, your blaster was set to non-lethal and you wouldn’t really hurt him. But something inside you just couldn’t bring yourself to take the shot. You had been trained for this, but did you really want to throw Starscream in a cell? That stupid charming grin of his gave you pause, creating an opening for the Decepticon to quickly get up, pushing you back before transforming and launching into the sky. 
The force of his thrusters firing sends you reeling backwards, barely able to keep yourself upright as the seeker soars off in the distance. As he flew through the sky, Starscream couldn’t help but think about this new Autobot and how different you were from the boorish and self-righteous Optimus and his lackeys. He also took note of how flustered you were when the two of you were in close proximity. An observation that may be useful for any future encounters. 
Back at base, you were currently dealing with the repercussions of the day’s events. “(Y/N), why didn’t you just take down Starscream when you had the chance?” Bulkhead said, his large arms outstretched and his tone annoyed. Bumblebee popped up beside Bulkhead, adding to the criticism, “Yeah, (Y/N). He was RIGHT there! You pretty much let him escape!” 
You were taken by surprise at your teammates’ harsh words and criticism, as you had not meant to let Starscream escape. Up until this point, everyone had been friendly and supportive, but you mess up once and now they’re chastising you as a screw-up. Maybe you weren’t cut out for this…
Optimus stepped in-between (Y/N) and the others, “Hey, calm down everyone. (Y/N) didn’t mean to let Starscream escape. We all know Starscream and we all know how slippery he is. Let’s all cool off for now, team.” Optimus sighed, disheartened at how quickly the team was to blame each other. “I’m sorry for that, (Y/N). They’re just riled up at the moment… I’m sure they’ll cool off soon.”
“...It’s fine, Optimus. I’m just going to go on a quick patrol to clear my processor,” you spoke softly, trying to conceal the pit in your stomach. You left the base and shortly took to the skies. You made your way towards the forest, the only secluded spot from the bustling city for miles. A certain grinning face kept appearing in your processor, and you tried to shake the images from your mind and re-focus. 
Unbeknownst to you, Starscream was also in the area and had picked up your signal. He was intrigued by you, and kept his presence hidden for the moment, preferring to study and listen for now. 
Believing yourself to be alone, you land in a small clearing in the forest before transforming. As you walked through the woods, you began talking to yourself aloud. “Why did they just accuse me like that? For months I’ve done nothing but help them, but no, I mess up once and now I’m the worst Autobot ever. It’s not like I meant to let him escape. It just sort of… happened. Yes, he’s a Decepticon but… I mean, he was kind of hot.” You groan in frustration, “And he just had to flash that smile at me” you sigh deeply. 
After listening to your woes from the shadows, an idea crosses Starscream’s mind. The nearby brush rustles as Starscream steps through and reveals himself to (Y/N). “How nice to bump into you again, Autobot. Odd that you’re out here all alone. Issues with your fellow ‘comrades?’” He spoke calmly and with purpose as he slowly approached you. Starscream held himself high, a confident smirk dancing across his faceplate.
Your optics grow wide as Starscream approaches you, instinctively drawing your blasters and aiming them at the seeker. Your body language betrays your thoughts and feelings. Your faceplate is flushed red, and your wrists and arms shakily try to stay locked onto the Decepticon before you. Starscream slowed his pace ever so slightly and raised his servos to show he wasn’t a threat, “Now now, Autobot, I’m not here to fight you. I would merely like to speak with you for a moment. If you have the time to spare?” His helm tilts to the side ever so slightly. 
You feel a rush of heat to your faceplate and blush a deep scarlet. Doing your best to compose yourself, you utter a simple reply, “...Then talk.” 
Starscream feels a surge of victory inside, knowing he only needed to get one foot in the door, so to speak. “Wise choice. I’m just curious as to what your friends think about you letting me escape?” His question had been carefully composed to sew doubt. 
“W-what do you mean? I didn’t let you escape! That’s ridiculous…” Your voice was shaky, various thoughts racing through your mind. 
Starscream raises an optics ridge, continuing to approach you, “Of course not. You just stood still with a flushed face while I happily flew to freedom. I seriously doubt you didn’t get an audio receptor-full from your teammates.”
He wasn’t wrong, you thought. It was true that your team was upset with you, and yes, you did feel you didn’t deserve that sort of treatment. It’s not as if you could help how you felt. You found Starscream attractive, the way he held himself, his confidence, the way he spoke… Yep. You had a serious crush. 
Starscream read you like a book, noticing the inner turmoil and the fact that you were blushing at this very moment. Not one to miss an opportunity, Starscream pressed forwards until he was right in front of you. He calmly pushed aside the tip of your blaster, although his grin alone could’ve disarmed you. “W-what are you doing?” your voice was shaky and uncertain. 
“There’s no need to be frightened, little Autobot. I’m not going to do anything to hurt you, unless you want me to,” he ran a digit across your cheek gently. 
To your surprise, you didn’t flinch or pull away from his touch. It was strange how you felt, and your thoughts were all over the place: Should you run? Should you fight him? Should you let him? 
Starscream paused as he noticed you didn’t pull away, increasing his curiosity, “I realize you know my name, but I do not know yours.” He continued to circle you, studying your frame. 
After struggling with conflicting thoughts, you finally make a decision and relax your frame slightly. “... It’s (Y/N),” you spoke softly. 
Starscream takes notice of your relaxed body language and smirks. He moves closer to you, seeing how far he could push his luck. “(Y/N), a fine name befitting a fine femme…” Starscream’s voice was almost a purr as he placed a servo on your shoulder, slowly caressing it and observing your reaction. When you did not pull away, he placed his other servo on your waist, running it over your metal skin slowly. 
A sigh escaped your lips at the sensually soft touch of Starscream’s servos, throwing both caution and your Autobot allegiance to the wind, at least in this moment. Reciprocating his affections, you leaned in close towards the Decepticon and wrapped your arms around his shoulder before planting a sensual kiss on his lips. 
For a fleeting moment, the look of shock is apparent on Starscream’s face as you kiss him. This doesn’t last long, as Starscream quickly takes control and kisses you passionately. He backs you against the trunk of a large tree, hungrily kissing down your neck, whilst his servos grab your waist possessively. Starscream is very aggressive, as he continues to ravish your frame and begins to touch and press sensitive nodes, driving you wild with lust. 
It all becomes too much, and you quickly begin to remove your armor, exposing your bare frame to him. Starscream smirks devilishly, briefly taking in the sight of you before dipping his helm towards your chest. He hungrily kisses at your breasts, swirling his glossa around your nipples while a servo cups your aft. You throw your helm back as he continues to pleasure you, driving your need for him. 
Starscream then moves his helm lower, starting to kiss up your thigh, getting closer to your panel covering. The stimulation is intoxicating and your desire for further intimacy overwhelms. You eagerly open up your panel to reveal your pulsing valve. Starscream smirked at your eagerness, grasping you before turning you around and pressing you against the tree trunk, your back facing him. He leans towards you, his lips brushing against your audio receptors, “Let me show you how it feels to be on the winning team.” 
Starscream pinned one of your arms behind your back, whilst his other grasped your hip. His pressurized spike ejected from his panel and he slowly slid it inside your valve, careful not to be too quick as he wanted to savor you. 
You couldn’t help but gasp as you took Starscream’s spike, the entry smooth as your valve was wet with anticipation. You mewled softly as you felt Starscream slowly roll his hips, filling you up further. 
Starscream held you still as he began to increase the pace of his thrusts, his hips delivering slow but strong thrusts that pushed his length deep inside of you. He continued his pace for a while, before releasing your arm and moving his servo towards your valve, using his digits to stimulate your anterior node. As he heard you pant, he began to increase his thrusts inside your valve, getting close to his own release. As his thrusts increased, you began to moan loudly as your climax began to overtake you, waves of ecstasy crashing through your frame and flooding your mind. 
With a few final thrusts, Starscream finally found his own climax, overloading his transfluid inside of your valve. The sound of heavy breathing filled the air, both yours and Starscream’s. As waves of pleasure slowly faded from the two of you, Starscream slowly laid you on the ground alongside him. “Well… Are you sure you don’t want to switch over to the winning team?” 
As you struggled to catch your breath, you couldn’t help but chuckle at the seeker’s remark…
You would have more encounters with Starscream in the future. You were still an Autobot and were loyal to your team. The Autobots had even apologized for how they treated you before. Although you accepted their apology, that didn’t change your feelings for Starscream, and you would have many intimate rendezvouses with him. 
Starscream was crafty though, and didn’t want to reveal your relationship. So if you weren’t able to easily sneak off to be with him, Starscream would just ‘kidnap’ you and leave the Autobots panicked while he made sweet sweet love to you…

Tfa Blitzwing x Fem!human!reader
Change of side
Words: 990
Warning: kidnapping, multiple personalities, pet play, soft squeezes
Tumblr media
Y/N had always been Sari's babysitter since the robots arrived in Detroit her work had diminished due to the problem of being near them could cause her to become the target.
Besides Y/N preferred to be involved as little as possible of them, just in case some of their personalities came out…. Y/N's treatment wasn't finished yet, she was lucky that taking care of Sari didn't have any problems, but the last few times those voices didn't leave her alone.
When her head allowed it she talked to Sari whenever she could until one day the little girl had told her to meet the autobots in person. Then she was already scared that one of their personalities would emerge… She feared for the craziest ones…. But it was hard to say no to an 8-year-old girl who had good debating manners and saying please all the time.
Y/N set off for the place Sari had told him about, an abandoned warehouse, it looked like a good place for some giant beings to hide. Y/N had a feeling that something was following her.
"Let it show itself" said a voice in her head.
"We are not helpless" said another voice.
Y/N walked faster to find another more secluded place to feel her mind was focused on a target but she was getting more and more scattered.
"Think about the techniques the therapist told you" thought Y/N as she tried to focus on something else.
-Y/N! - shouted someone causing her to shift her focus to see Sari approaching her with a smirk.
-Hey, how's my little girl… Sari? - Y/N said while giving her a hug.
"Sari?" he said again in his mind.
"Who is this little girl?" he said again different.
-Y/N? Are you ok? - asked the red-haired girl worriedly, Y/N shook her head as she nodded.
-Yes, yes everything is fine… You told me those cool robots are nearby, didn't you?
-Well they're my best friends, you'll like them, I think you'd fit in with Prowl you've always liked the calm and quiet or maybe with ratchet you two grunts are the same.
"That's not true!" said all the voices at once.
-I don't grunt all the time - said Y/N as he folded his arms making Sari laugh a little.
-Come on you'll like them in no time… Wait," said Sari as she led Y/N to another place.
Y/N was confused as she saw a jet transform into a tank near the area. Sari was stunned, she led Y/N to another part. I saw that the girl was a bit scared when she saw that vehicle.
"Is it one of your friends?" said a voice in her mind.
"we are running away it doesn't look like it" thought another voice.
-Sari, what's going on? - Y/N asked quietly as Sari saw her pick up the phone to see the tank chasing after them.
-It's Blitzwing, one of the bad guys I told you about! I've alerted the autobots to come as soon as possible… But don't worry, I have this," said Sari taking out the key.
"A key?" thought all the voices in her head.
Before Sari could do anything Y/N acted on another action of her head. Y/N had to get Sari out of here any way he could, before he saw the tank he had transformed into a robot where he shot to block their path with debris.
-Well, well… We got the autobots' mascot - said blitzwing in a happier voice.
-Plus we'll know his location in no time," said Blitzwing with a different face and a different voice.
-Eh? Sari, what's wrong with this guy? - asked Y/N confused.
-Let's say this guy has three personalities in one weird one don't you think? I will never tell you where my friends are! - said Sari as Blitzwing started to approach them.
"What do we do?"
"You should call the police."
"We'll be late."
"The girl is important."
"Be the hero."
Then you finally let go of the voices so that the giant being would focus on Y/N.
Hey, you piece of metal! You sure don't get me," said Y/N, leaving Sari surprised.
Blitzwing's face changed to an angry red one - How dare you piece of meat! You think you can hurt me? - said Blitzwing but he felt that Y/N was throwing stones at him all the time making him leave Sari and focus on Y/N.
Y/N ran as far as she could but was quickly caught by the jet-transformed robot that caught her in its servos.
-Now who caught you? - blitzwing said with a cold face.
Y/N smiled seeing that Sari had just escaped - I won, you idiot - said laughing making the bot squeeze her a little bit hurting her.
-You won't be laughing so hard after I crushed you! - said blitzwing while changing to another face.
-We can have fun with it! - said the funny face.
Not having time to react Y/N was taken to the Decepticons by Blitzwing, they smashed her phone and took her to a cell. One thing the Decepticons noticed was that she behaved differently every day: one day she was scared, another she was angry and another she was angry….
No one approached her thinking you were defective, except Blitzwing who found y/n more and more interesting.
She liked to watch you fight some and others you stayed so tame.
She kept you in her lap while she had you tied up. As he petted you, if he returned to Cybertron he would keep you all to himself.
He liked her changes, he felt y/n were moving.
-Easy, be a good girl and you'll get some more food," Blitzwing said as Y/N calmed down.
If he was starting to like this human, he would keep her forever.

Kinktober Day Two: Gags
Day Two: TFA | Gags | Ratchet
Tumblr media
The gag was lodged in your mouth, restricting your sounds while you laid on the berth before your lover. Ratchet sat beside you, reading his datapad while you withered beside him. You wanted to beg him to do something more than just keeping the vibe on your anterior mode on a low level. Muffled whines and moans left your vocalizer, but he just sat there. Ignoring you.
That would not do.
Taking it upon yourself, you moved your thighs enough to start moving them to grind your anterior node against your leg, the pleasure that shot up your spinal strut made your optics shudder closed as you felt that very small overload that wasnt building up quick enough started to build and build until you felt it starting to peak over. Your frame shudders as you overload and cry into the gag as your valve winks and gaps open as transfluid slowly leaks from your overstimulated valve. You fall back against the berth as you vent harshly as the overload passes over you.
A tsk beside you makes you freeze.
“I told you I would get to you, now I have to punish you because you can’t wait a fragging second.” Ratchet grumbles from beside you as he sets the datapad aside and picks up the remote increasing the toy up to full blast making your back arch up and a loud muffled sob left you as you squirm and whine as your valve struggles around the toys teasing your sensitive callipers withing your valve.
Worth it, totally worth it! You finally got Ratchet away from his work to spend time with you. It has been a while since the two of you have had a night alone with just the two of you. Spending time with one another was difficult and an overall issue, some nights you spent alone in your shared berth as he was busy working all night and then slept for a small amount of time before heading back to his med-bay and lab to work for Primus knows how long.
You've pleaded with him to spend more time with you, and after an argument that resulted in almost a week of silence between the two of you. You both finally decided to sit down and discuss your feelings and what would be best to keep this relationship steady and strong. Prowl suggested trying something new, your interfacing activities were rather vanilla and dull, so you did some research and found out some things to try.
One of these was a gag, and so far from how Ratchet looked at you. He was enjoying himself. He got aroused at seeing you wiggle and writhe in your bindings and mumbling behind the gag. Seeing your drool and blissed out expression was everything to him. The mech moves a smidge closer and thumbs a digit over your node making your back arch and a muffled squeal of pleasure leaves you as he teases the sensitive bud of your valve.
Oh, yes~
He enjoyed this very much.

Something stupidly self-indulgent bc I feel like shit
TFA Optimus+Megatron/Reader
Enjoy
"Oh sweetspark..."
Optimus sighed from where he stood, his spark aching at the sight. You were sitting, coiled up in a ball, coolant leaking from your optics, vents coming harsh and broken.
"What happened..."
He whispered, more to himself than to you. He didn't need to know what had happened to know that you needed comfort. He gently scooped you up, taking note of the harsh shake of your servos. He sat down, leaning against the wall where you had been sitting for who knows how long, and gently pulled you close to his chassis, gently coaxing you to let it all out.
"There you go, that's it. You're so brave, sweetspark."
He murmured in your audial, gently rubbing his servo down your backstrut. He knew firsthand how hard it was to show emotion like this, and you had a harder time of it than he ever had- thanks almost in whole to your awful sire.
"What happened?"
Optimus looked up to see Megatron standing there, looking a mixture of worry and pissed. Worry for their conjunx, anger at the piece of slag that hurt you so badly.
"I'm not sure. Does it really matter, though? They needed held."
Optimus murmured in reply, and Megatron nodded, setting his weaponry aside and sitting down next to Optimus as he was gently running a servo over your helm.
"You're so brave, little one."
Megatron whispered gently, so unlike the terror he was with others. But for you? He would do anything. And if what you needed was to be held, well, who was he to deny his conjunx.
You shook your head, for how could you be brave if you were so very terrified? Megatron and Optimus both looked almost offended at that, but when Megatron spoke, it was low and sweet and smooth.
"No? You say you are not brave? I would say you are the bravest of the both of us, for here you sit, showing us the very core of your existence, your deepest emotions, and despite the fear, you keep going. I would say that is quite brave of you, little one."
Megatron spoke the truth that both he and Optimus saw, and Optimus chimed in, smiling so gently, so sweetly, how could he be lying?
"And we're so proud of you. You've worked so hard to get here, to this point, and we've been able to watch you, and support you all throughout the journey."
Here, Megatron chimed in with a chuckle.
"Perhaps you have, little Prime, but I had the misfortune of fighting this one. Unless you have already forgotten the fierce rivalry we had?"
He gazes down at you fondly, reminiscing the flicker of fear he had felt when the two of you fought him that fateful day.
Optimus laughed, prompting a small smile from you.
"I have not, Megatron, as much as you may think that. Seeing you get brought down a peg is something I'll never forget."
Megatron grinned, gently helping the Prime to his feet with you cocooned in his arms, and heading to the berthroom for some well-deserved rest.

I’ve largely avoided news about the upcoming Star Wars movie regarding Rey. Anyone who was around when TROS comes out knows how I feel about it, and since I can’t remember if I ever said it out loud, I’ll say it now: TROS tainted my experience of the entire Sequel Trilogy. I have never watched any of the ST movies again since I watched TROS in theaters, not even TLJ, which in my frank opinion is stronger than TFA and TROS combined. I… I’m not sure how to feel about the Rey movie.
Just based on my memories of TROS, I can’t view the Sequel Trilogy as anything but Rey’s villain origin story. By the end of TROS, she is immensely powerful, most likely the most powerful Force user left alive in the galaxy, and on the same token, intensely isolated. Her relationships with Poe and Finn seem markedly strained; she doesn’t seem especially close to either of them. The one person she felt understood her is dead, and moreover, he died saving her life, which is such a can of worms where guilt and trauma is concerned. Who does she have who she can really confide her troubles in? Who does she have whom she can really lean on? She seems almost totally unmoored from the community she is ostensibly a part of, her ties to her friends superficial at best.
Moreover, she’s reverted back to a more extreme version of her getup from TFA and kept it at the end of the movie, suggesting that she’s regressed emotionally in some way. She certainly seems to be in deep denial about all of the traumatic things that have happened to her and all of the traumatic revelations she’s learned over the course of the three films. The fact that she latches on to ‘Skywalker’ as her new identity signals that she isn’t at peace with her own past and heritage, that she hasn’t addressed and resolved her own feelings about where she came from and who she is. She hasn’t addressed or resolved anything.
And then, to top it all off, we end with Rey in a spiritual wasteland, where her only companions are ghosts and a droid with the emotional maturity of a young child, and the movie leaves it extremely ambiguous as to whether Rey is only on Tatooine to visit, or if she intends to set up shop and live there. It all gives me an extremely ominous feeling about where Rey’s journey is supposed to go next. Maybe she doesn’t become a full-on villain, but unless her upcoming movie devotes a huge chunk of time in the beginning to having her actually work through everything that happened to her and everything that she learned, instead of just sinking further and further into denial about everything, Rey being remotely well-adjusted in that movie is going to come off as so tonally dissonant to me.
Like I said, she doesn’t have to be a full-on villain, but where I would naturally expect to see Rey next from TROS is to see her as a liminal figure, someone who doesn’t really seem to belong anywhere, morally ambiguous, at least somewhat perilous. I could see her as something like a trickster figure. I could see her as an antagonistic force. But as prospective grandmaster to a new Jedi Order? Nah. That makes no sense tonally, based on where we last saw her. Yeah, I know there’s supposed to be about fifteen years between TROS and this film, but the huge time skip isn’t going to be enough to make up for the tonal gap. Not for me. I’ll watch it when it comes out, but I’m not sure how well it’s going to sit with me.

Can the tfa bots and elite guard react to a female bot who has the personality and appearance of fluttershy from my little pony who was bring to life by an allspark fragment
Okay, its been a hot second since I've seen My Little Pony, but worth it! Buddy is here with their animal friends ready to meet Team Prime and the Elite Guard.
Hope you enjoy!
Team Prime and the Elite guard reacting to a Fluttershy Bot Buddy that was brought to life by a fragment of the Allspark
SFW, platonic, Cybertronain/ Bot reader
TFA
Buddy’s alt-mode is golf cart. It was Team Prime who found Buddy. Well, more like Prowl and Sari who found them. Buddy was talking to the geese in the lake. Prowl was the first to make his and Sari’s presence known. Buddy shyly introduced themselves and asked if the two of them knew anything about the geese. Later the rest of Team Prime comes in to meet the new bot. It takes a few days to gain the bots friendship, but they seem happy to make such nice friends. Then the Elite Guard comes in…
Optimus Prime
“You’re a good friend Optimus. I’m glad I met you, my friend.”--Buddy
“Thank you, Buddy.”--Optimus
“Are you okay?”--Buddy
Voice crack “I’m fine.”--Optimus
Optimus needs good friends in his life.
Not like Sentinel or Elita-One/ Blackarachnia. They lost their rights to be Prime’s friends.
He has a good friendship with Buddy. Optimus has respect for Buddy as they treat everyone with equality and the same level of kindness. Something that not many people or bots have now a days.
Where was Buddy his entire life?
The only thing that does get on Optimus’s nerves with Buddy is that they want to adopt every animal they see without an owner. He has lost count of how many stray cats and squirrels he has found in their room.
He has no problem standing up for Buddy when they need it. He knows better than to fight others battles. But if Buddy needs the help, Optimus has their back. He does have talks with them about setting their own boundaries and being able to say ‘no’.
Will not hesitate to go out on someone if they make Buddy feel like they aren’t a true Cybertronian. He offers a confidence booster to Buddy if they feel like this, while also plotting against the attacker. Optimus does not care if the attacker is a Bot or human, they are going down.
Ratchet
“Hello there Doctor Ratchet. I cleaned some of your medical tools for you last night and organized them all just the way you like them!”--Ratchet
Need to adopt intensifies.
Oh, he is really considering it,
Ratchet has a soft spot for the younger bots on the team. Buddy is no exception to this.
Buddy’s quiet nature goes along well with Ratchet own quiet nature. Its just introverts being introverts. After his experience with Wreck-Gar, he defiantly has a bit more patience with Buddy.
Ratchet will not hesitate to hurt anyone who hurts Buddy. Whether it be physical or emotional, he has his throwing wrenches ready.
He doesn’t lecture Buddy as much as the rest of the team, but he does take time to talk to them about setting boundaries and saying ‘no’. Ratchet does get worried that one day Buddy isn’t going to say ‘no’ to something that would end up hurting them.
He is going to rain down a whole army on the sorry bot or human who calls Buddy a ‘fake Cybertronian’. Buddy is just as much of a Cybertronain than its inhabitants. Ratchet gives them a mini pep talk about it not mattering whether being a ‘fake’ or not, they are Buddy, one of the best Bots he has had the pleasure of knowing in his life.
Bumblebee
“Hey Buddy! Help me put these boosters on my back!”--Bumblebee
“Umm… that seems a little bit dangerous…”--Buddy
“C’mon please!”--Bumblebee
“… I guess if you use them responsibly…”—Buddy
Oh, he was definitely taking advantage of Buddy’s inability to say ‘no’ at first.
All Bumblebee had to do was sic the puppy dog eyes and a couple of ‘pleases’ and it was done. It isn’t until he gets a reality check from his team that he realizes that what he is doing is a bit messed up.
So, he does try to make up for it.
Mainly in the form of inviting them out to do more outings with him and Sari. But he soon gets the hint that Buddy doesn’t like big, crowded places, he offers Buddy to play video games as an alternative.
With time Bumblebee does try and get Buddy out of their shell. He makes sure they are fine with it first; he doesn’t want to overwhelm them too much. Just taking baby steps first.
He is willing to stand up against anyone who makes Buddy feel uncomfortable and fight them. He does try and help them in saying ‘no’.
He is ready to fight anyone if he hears that Buddy feels bad about being a ‘fake Cybertronian’. He is giving the weirdest pep talk that strangely works and helps Buddy’s self-esteem. Afterwards Bee and Sari are planning on how to make the human or Bots week miserable.
Sari
“Hello there Sari.”--Buddy
“Hey Buddy! You ready for Bird Time?”--Sari
“I thought you’d never ask.”—Buddy
Sari like Bee, definitely used the puppy dog eyes trick but not as much. Mainly to get out of little troubles here and there.
She does get a talk about it like bee though. But unlike Bee she gets a whole new idea.
Sari becomes Big Sister.
She is protective of the Big Little sibling. She feels like she has a special bond with Buddy. Anyways she always wanted to be a sister.
She instated a tradition between the two called Bird Time. Every week or so the two of them would go back to the pond and feed the geese while talking about their weeks. Sari loves Buddy’s empathetic nature and supportiveness. This was especially important when she learned about her not being human.
Like Bee, Sari is willing to fight someone who makes Buddy uncomfortable. Does not matter who it is, no one is coming near her little big sibling. She does have a habit of answering ‘no’ for Buddy when the situation seems fishy.
Sari honestly sympathizes with Buddy when they get called a ‘false Cybertronian’. Being a techno organic she understands that there are a lot of people and bots that will look at them differently. But that does not mean she will be plotting murder behind Buddy’s back. She teams up with Bee to make the person or Bots week miserable.
Bulkhead
“Good morning Bulkhead.”--Buddy
“Oh, hey Buddy…”--Bulkhead
“What’s wrong?”--Buddy
“Well… what do you think of my latest art piece? It’s probably dumb—what are you doing?”--Bulkhead
“I’m going to put this piece of art in my room.”—Buddy
This is Bulkhead’s best friend.
They are practically twins.
Many have mistaken their nature for twins. Which is something that both deep down find endearing and wish it were true.
Buddy never makes Bulkhead feel useless brute that’s only good for smashing things. Buddy does their best to support the things Bulkhead is passionate about.
Bulkhead in return does his best to stand up against anyone who is mean or makes Buddy feel uncomfortable.
Like Buddy he has a tough time saying no to certain things, but is much more honest in saying it and tries to help Buddy when they need it.
He is ready to pound anyone to the ground if he ever finds out Buddy doesn’t feel like a ‘true’ Cybertronian because someone says so. He does a lot of paintings of Buddy and tells them that they are as true Cybertronian as he is and that anyone who says otherwise is dumb. Bulkhead will have a grudge on any bot or human who says anything mean about Buddy.
Prowl
“Hello Prowl.”--Buddy
“Buddy.”--Prowl
“… I brought them in…”--Buddy
“Let me see.”--Prowl
Little meows
“Perfect.”—Prowl
Nature friends.
Prowl loves nature and Buddy loves animals.
The two of them like to walk around the park or go to Dinobot island to escape the city and enjoy nature. Buddy has made friends with all the Dinobots which makes Prowl happy.
The two of them have their own version of Bird Time. Except it involves staying still and seeing how many birds can land on them as much as possible. Buddy so far holds the record with 27 birds.
But there is a little snag in their friendship.
It involves training.
Buddy hates the idea of hurting anyone in any way shape or form. Prowl does it for self-defense or when it’s needed. He often tries to get Buddy to train with him, but it usually ends up with Buddy bringing animals into his room and watching him train.
Prowl still tries to get Buddy to at least know something, but that mission is still on going.
Does not hesitate a nanosecond if someone is making Buddy feel uncomfortable and will verbally destroy them if they even think about being mean to Buddy. Does talk to Buddy about the importance of saying no and setting boundaries.
Prowl is ready to throw shuriken’s as soon as he hears about someone making Buddy feel bad about their origins. He talks to Buddy about it no mattering how they got made, what matters is who they are. They are his friend, they are their own bot and that’s all that matters. May or may not have slashed someone/ somebots tires.
Jazz
“So, how long have you’ve been here?”--Jazz
“I was born last month.”--Buddy
“… You want to take a drive around?”—Jazz
Oh, he loves Buddy’s vibe.
They are a breath of fresh air compared to being 5 minutes around Sentinel. He sees someone who has so much kindness and empathy that he knows it is a gift. He doesn’t know too many bots that have that anymore since the war.
Jazz gets to know about Buddy from their hang outs and from talking to Prowl. He likes asking Prowl about Buddy’s favorite places to visit so he knows where the two of them could hang out when he has time. When Jazz can he likes walking with Buddy about anything under the sun. From the latest gossip in the Elite Guard, to his hobbies, music tastes, etc.
Jazz stands up to anyone who is being mean or making Buddy feel uncomfortable. Most times though he would take Buddy physically out of the company of the offender. No one has time to deal with rude people. He does try and talk to Buddy about the power of saying no while still being the kind bot they are and how important boundaries are.
Jazz would be speechless if he ever heard Buddy talk about someone calling them ‘inferior’ for not being a ‘true’ Cybertronian. He’ll take Buddy out on a walk while talking to Buddy about how people being mean because they don’t have anything better to do than cause misery to people who are living life by their rules. Definitely shares with Buddy a comfort playlist before leaving. Teams up with Prowl to find the bot or person who made Buddy feel bad.
Jetfire and Jetstorm
“Buddy! Buddy! Buddy!”—Jetfire and Jetstorm
“Hello there—whoa!”--Buddy
“We missed you!”—Jetfire and Jetstorm
The twins love spending time with Buddy.
Not only does it mean that they get to skip some of their chores, but they get to have fun too. Buddy offers some of the best places to fly and great places to observe some of Earth’s great nature phenomena. The twins sometimes like to combine into Safeguard to give Buddy a ride above the ground to look at earth.
They do use the puppy dog eyes sometimes, but they don’t abuse it too much. Only on harmless things like staying up a little bit more to continue playing video games with Bumblebee.
They don’t hesitate to get Buddy out of a harmful situation. Maybe flare up their powers a bit as a warning. They act like Buddy’s bodyguards when things get hairy.
They get angry when Buddy mentions that someone told them that they were a ‘real’ Cybertronian. They want names immediately. They do try to distract Buddy from feeling down by cracking jokes to make them forget about that feeling again.
Sentinel Prime
“So, this thing has a fragment of the Allspark?”--Sentinel
“They’re name is Buddy.”--Optimus
“Well just hold them down so we can extract—”--Sentinel
“NO!”—Everyone
Yeah, that’s right he wanted to crack Buddy open just to get the Allspark fragment and call it a day. No one is letting Sentinel anywhere near Buddy after what he said. He has tried pulling the Prime card, but that means nothing here.
Buddy, since they did not hear this, does try to make friends with him. They just want everyone to get along, where’s the damage in that? They are a bit confused in why so many of their friends are so against them even being a couple feet from Sentinel.
The rare times that he does get with Buddy are filled with him undermining them and proud fully boasting about his achievements. Yes, he is defiantly one of the Bots who calls Buddy a ‘fake’ Cybertronian. But these are short times since Buddy’s friends are never too far when Sentinel is around.
All the talking does do a number on Buddy’s confidence and self-esteem thinking they aren’t a true Cybertronian
Sentinel better run and hide because the second that Buddy lets loose that they think that way about themselves and it was caused by Sentinel.
Nothing on this planet or Cybertron is going to stop the war path buddy’s friends are going to be on.
