#the autobots ship charbee

[sweetpeaches666]

As someone who doesn't ship Bumblebee and Blitzwing, I legit don't have a problem with people shipping them. Now, Bee is definitely older than the human characters in the series, but how old he is mentally is ambiguous. So, I headcanon Bee is somewhere between 18-19 and someone who was kicked out of college in their first year. But that's MY headcanon! I'm fine with people headcanoning him older or younger since that's what it is at the day: HEADCANONS!!!

Shockbee and Charbee are the only Bumblebee ships I like for now. The former because both Bumblebee and Shockwave have history together, along with the agony and betrayal since Shockwave did went undercover. The latter because Bumblebee and Charlie have such good chemistry and the fact that Bee and Charlie are mentally in the same age group, especially since Charlie is 18.

Warning: Ship between an older character and a younger character.

Besides, the real problematic ship is Saribee. This ship is absolutely gross, creepy, and just plain wrong on so many levels. What makes this ship creepy is the fact Bumblebee met Sari when she was SEVEN YEARS OLD!!!!

He played a major role in Sari's childhood. Bee played with her, took her to amusement parks, protected her from danger, going camping with her, etc. And let's not forget, during season 2 when Megatron kidnapped Isaac, Sari went to live with the Autobots, meaning she was raised by them for a brief time, which includes Bumblebee.

People who ship them also seem to forget Sari literally made herself older by using her key, and by the end of the series, she's a nine-year-old teenager who was sheltered for most of her life. This ship raises so many red flags and people who think this a better ship than Blitzbee seriously need help.

(P.S. I had to make this again after the first one wasn't showing in the tags.)

More Charbee Prompt Rambles

I was spiraling a few hours ago but i had cookies and milk so im okay

This is part of a series I had planned that revolved around a single headcanon:

For every Bumblebee, there is the Charlie Watson that named him.

And here’s my take on the TF Animated universe.

On his first week working on the clean up ship, Bee accidentally connected to a radio on Earth. The radio was owned by Charlie and fixed up by a young genius she was babysitting. Bee listened to Charlie through the radio and listened to her music but after days of constant Smiths, he made his presence known and spoke to her by changing the channels, making his annoyance on the lack of variety clear. Charlie finds Bee amusing and they come up with a system to alternate music choices every week. Over time, their tastes seem to blend with with other and soon share more things beyond music taste. Charlie nicknames the voice Bumblebee because of the buzzing noises whenever he’s silent or choosing a song. Bee gets attached to the name and later changes his callsign to Bumblebee.

They knew each other for a few months. At that point, they each knew each other better than themselves, turning to the radio when they need someone to talk to.

Then the ship was attacked and the Autobots were stuck in stasis for 50 years.

After meeting Sari and the professor, he finds out that Charlie was Sumdac’s babysitter. Her dad and Sumdac’s dad were college friends and Charlie offered to babysit at Detroit during summer break. Hopeful and afraid, Bee asks where he could find her. Sumdac takes Bee to see Charlie at Brighton Falls. She hasn’t visited Detroit in years since her last heart attack put her in the hospital for almost a year. They find her still working at her uncle’s junkyard, which she now owns after his passing.

They never met face to face before and they were as beautifully imperfect as they could imagine.

They talk and Charlie confesses that ever since she met him, her life has been better. She moved on from her dad’s death, fixed the car, has a better relationship with her family, and even joined diving again, going to the Olympics and getting four gold medals before she retired. She never had the time to get married or have kids but she’s happy with the life she had.

Bee thanks Charlie for making his life on the ship much brighter, confessing that he was afraid of being undermined because of his size and knowing that he had someone to turn to made him feel more safe and comfortable now that he had a little safe place to go to.

Charlie is dying from heart problems so Bee tries to make every moment last before he has to go back to Detroit. They go on joyrides and learn how to swim (Bee was ecstatic to see Charlie dive for the first time) before ending the day sleeping while watching the Breakfast Club.

When Bee wakes up, he finds that Charlie passed away peacefully on his lap with a smile on her face.

He kisses her on the cheek and whispers before calling Sumdac;

“I will never forget you.”

Songs That Remind Me of Ships/Tropes

Requiem from Dear Evan Hansen is great for breakup/angst fics (like the person is moving on after their partner cheated/hurt them).

Snow Fairy (English version) by Amalee is a great Charbee song because I like to imagine that all the lines that refer to smiles are in Bee’s perspective while the verse with “breaking like waves on the shore of the ocean” would be Charlie’s perspective because of her life in California and her love of diving/water. I also like to think that the verse with “I’ve forgotten how it goes, teach me how to laugh…” and “You can change the world, I know/’Cause you’ve surely changed mine…” are very fitting of Charlie teaching Bee all these Earth things while his memory is gone and the second part fits really well with the fic “Riding the Sunset” on ao3 when Charlie works with the military as a liaison between them and the Autobots. Finally, I like the final line “don’t say goodbye” because it is something in their relationship where they will always come back to each other like magnets.

Perfect Picture by Bea Miller is a Fred x Hermione (Harry Potter) song all the way. Like all the lyrics scream it because they seem like an unlikely pairing but they fit so well together. I instantly knew with the prechorus “Had no idea you’d come right out of nowhere/Spin me around/How did you make my world come crashing down?” because it seems like such a Fred thing to spin her around out of nowhere and crash straight into a loving, healthy relationship. Fred would show Hermione to loosen up, while Hermione would teach Fred that being serious is necessary.

She Used To Be Mine from Waitress is the perfect angst song with MAJOR hurt/comfort potential

Polaris (English Version of BNHA theme) by Amalee is just a song that I want Marinette from Miraculous Ladybug to hear because I think it is fitting. The life referenced could be Paris and it works especially well in salt fics because “I will stay, I won’t run away or hide from the past/I will become the me that I’m striving to be…”

Okay so I have never read the Twilight books but I saw a couple of the movies during quarantine and I just adore imagining someone (reader/oc/ official character) singing Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves) by The Wombats in front of the Pack and Cullens. Specifically for the line “And the vampires and wolves won’t sink their teeth”

Here (English Cover of Ancient Magus Bride theme) by Amalee in Genshin Impact is just *chef’s kiss* for my soul because of the part that is “Freedom’s a lie, even so I/must cross that line…Defy the gods-Despite the odds…” Either to a crowd or as a single oneshot with Dainsleif.

Singing Blue Bird (English Cover of Naruto theme) by Amalee to Young! Izuku Midoriya. Especially the part about never giving up.

Gurenge (English Version of Demon Slayer theme) by Amalee in Genshin especially as a singing it in a concert with Xinyan.

Rainbow Connection (by Kermit but I like the Annapatsu cover) literally is so sweet and fits anywhere.

Here’s the most recent update of my story if anybody is interested in reading it. It’s set in the 2018 Bumblebee film as a sequel of sorts. It focuses of Charlie and Bumblebee for the most part while we get to see them interact with other characters in a plot similar to the usual TF plot lines of the Autobots defending Earth from the Decepticons. 

And theres ships. Lots and lots of ships. Charbee in the primary one, but it officially hasn’t happened yet.

What if Charlie and Bee went on a roadtrip together?? No worries for a good few days, just the two of them and (maybe) a map as Charlie shows Bee some of the most beautiful places in the USA. (Also, I love your blog and the fact you ship Charbee!!)

Sorry for the wait, friend, but I hope you like this! (And don’t mind the Charliebee family inclusion heh)

Warning(s): G, none

“Ithink I’m gonna ask him, Red. To be Conjunx Enderae with me.”

Forthe last several hours, it’d been just her and Stingray on the openroad. There wasn’t anything unusual about it, because it meant hedidn’t require a holoform driver to give the appearance ofnormalcy. And…he was her son. They were family. Of course theycould keep themselves together while Bee went on his mission,promising to meet them in the Motel 56 they were staying at in SilverSprings, Arizona—right on the cusp of the Grand Canyon she sworeshe could see glimpses of in the right amount of sunlight.

Thatnight, late at midnight, she and Stingray sat restively in a copse oftrees in a pinewood forest skirting the borders of the small town.What seemed to be more buildings clustered in a dense forest split bya single, main road was enough for them to be able to slip awayunseen. Through the nexus of needled branches could Charlie seespinning nebulae and a sky spangled in an endless tapestry of stars.With the air dry but pleasantly warm, it was a nice night for them tobe out.

“ConjunxEndurae? You mean, like married?” the young transformer broached,Charlie perched on his plated scarlet calf.

Charliefelt a hot flush creep up her neck, barely able to avoid Stingray’sinnocuous, curious blue optics. “I— I mean, when you put it likethat, as a person, it—yeah,” she deflated in a brief concession,knowing it was better to tell her son outright.

Herson. And here she thought she’d never settle down as fast assome of her classmates were out the gate already. But here she was,on a summer road trip with what was her son in the eyes ofCybertronian culture, no labor pains necessary. A being that haddoubly attributed the creation to via Bumblebee.

That’dbe something to say at a high school reunion. How she was married toan alien robot from Cybertron.

“Hey,mom?”

Thatgot Charlie’s attention, mustering a smile for his sake. “Yeah?”

“Doyou love dad?”

Thattook Charlie off guard. That’s right—Stingray hadn’t been therewhen Bumblebee and she had that heart-to-heart, spilling their gutsand bolts all over each other, which…sounded gross to imagine, butit wasn’t entirely off the mark.

“Ido,” Charlie said plainly, affection lacing her voice.

Stingraycouldn’t help but light up at that. Large arms gently encircled herand she laughed giddily, leaning into the gentle show of their bond,that soft thing that fluttered like a bird in her chest.

“Dibson being best man,” Stingray quipped with what sounded like asmile, Charlie giggling into the embrace.

“Gotcha.But only if you wear the goofiest, dorkiest and biggest bow tie wecan find.”

“Aw,but mooooooooooom!”

Atthat, she couldn’t help but burst into a fit of giggling.

*

“Ithought he’d be here by now.”

Seatedin the driver’s seat outside of a mom and pop bar, Charliecontemplatively chewed the breakfast sandwich she’d ordered,sipping some of the soda. Though she didn’t want to voice it, heranxieties were largely mirrored. “He’ll be here. Maybe the doofusjust took a wrong turn,” Charlie said hopefully, even though shefelt a twist of worry in her gut. With everything that had happened,the threat of Decepticons was a perpetual concern none of them couldshake.

Stingraystill vibrated with apprehension, turning the radio dial on his ownwhile Charlie indulged him and listened, having wanted to do the sameexact thing.

“Anexplosion was heard at the Southern Rim just minutes ago, parkrangers looking into the possibility of an avalanche caused by lastweek’s torrential downpour—“

“Anexplosion?” Charlie repeated aloud, feeling her blood curdle icilyin her very veins.

“Dad,”Stingray whimpered through the radio, Charlie moving on autopilot. Ithad to be Bee—what else could explain him being so late without atleast radioing in or something?

“Canyou hone in on him, Red? We’ve gotta find him!”

Stingray’stransponder buzzed and crackled hurriedly as he attempted to do justthat before it stopped, the young Autobot declaring, “Found dad!”Without another word did Stingray speed away from the parking lothe’d occupied, soaring down the turnpike and towards the GrandCanyon.

Thescenery blurred unremarkably past as the pair sped towards thenational park, forest soon giving way to open vistas and flat veldtpocked by tough grasses and cacti, thankful that it was still morningand that the crush of tourists scrambling to get into the parks werelargely clear. Because even if they weren’t, Charlie knew they’dmove heaven and hell to get to Bee and make sure he was safe.

Itwasn’t long before they came to one of the touristy vantage points,giving them an ample and spectacular view of of the canyon Charliewould’ve wanted to linger and relish in, but knew that theycouldn’t.

Withouteven a moment’s hesitation did Stingray transform into his Autobotform, heedless of who might see. And the moment that he did did thetwo of them hear a cacophonous explosion that rocked with thedissonance of mortar fire, feeling it through to her bones. Fromafar, Charlie followed the sound and watched as Bumblebee was waginga war of wills in the river valley, the Colorado River shallow enoughthat it came only to his waist in the summer drought. There, anameless Decepticon twice his height grappled for dominance withdestructive power, Charlie blanching at the sight of it.

“Mom,there are people coming up on it fast! We have to help them!”Stingray cried out anxiously and pointing at a large raft careeningperilously close to the stage of action. Just around the bend, therewouldn’t be more than a few seconds for them to act.

“Right.Come on, let’s go!”

Withoutanother word did Stingray squat so Charlie could piggyback on hisback, careful to avoid the splintering parts before he sprinted offthe very cliff and Charlie felt the distinct sensation of her stomachdropping in the fall. Catching himself on a buttress, the Autobotskidded the rest of the descent down while grappling for purchase,Charlie certain she’d be pelted in clay-toned dust before theyreached the bottom.

Oncebarely feet from the valley floor, Stingray leaped one last time intothe river, a little taller than Bumblebee. The people in the raftstartled at the transformer that halted their advance, a gentle stopthat didn’t upset anyone but made them cognizant of the battleahead, some swearing oaths at the sight of it.

WithStingray’s help did Charlie climb aboard the raft, digging for alead line for him to take and temporarily moor to some branch orother overhanging the river. “Red, catch!” Charlie prompted onceshe did, the Autobot dexterously tethering it. “Uh, hey, um—staycalm, everyone! We’ve just got a little, um,” the brunetteglanced over her shoulder at Bumblebee and the Decepticon exchangingblows, “…situation. Yeah! It’ll be alright in a second,so—maybe…get comfy, yeah.” God, she wasn’t cut out to be atour guide, was she?

Feelingthe raft lurch forth a bit, Charlie turned to see why when Stingrayleaped into the fray, several plates of facial armor covering itwhile his firearm deployed, watching with a swell of pride asBumblebee became aware of his son’s backup, grappling theDecepticon and wheeling it around so Stingray could get a clear shot.In a long moment of anticipation did Stingray steady his firing armand optics narrow, then taking the shot in a thunderous echo thatshook Charlie down to her very bones. The Decepticon’s head wasblasted clean off, the crackle of fizzling electronics sounded whilstthe body locked up and dropped dead into the water, the volume of itswelling when the deceased passed under the raft and Charlie couldswear she shuddered as it did.

Wordlesslydid Bumblebee embrace his son, the firearm disengaging and Stingrayembraced the elder Autobot back. People aboard the raft couldn’thelp but croon at the sight of it, Charlie feeling herself tear up abit. Though, she started a bit when Bumblebee waded through the waterfor her, offering a hand while Stingray chattered once he extricatedhimself from the embrace.

“Welp,things look safe now,” he prattled while undoing the tether andpassing the rope on to the raft’s occupants, who appeared largelymollified now that the threat was gone, “so you fine folks go abouton your way, alrighty? Have a good one!” With that, the reclaimedtheir oars and paddled anew to resume their jaunty trip down theriver.

Politelydid Stingray avert his eyes while Bumblebee picked Charlie up, browstouching as Charlie embraced and cradled Bee’s head close. “Youwere awesome out there, Bee,” Charlie murmured fondly as shepressed a tender kiss to his brow, Bumblebee glowing at theaffection.

“Youweren’t half-bad either,” Bee conceded, laughing softly atStingray turning their back to him. He really was just a kid. “I’msorry I couldn’t make it today. These Decepticons came out ofnowhere and Optimus and I had to take care of them before anyone gothurt.”

“Shhh,hey, it’s okay. You were doing the right thing, Bee. How can Ifault you on that?”

“Youwere so cool out there, dad!” Stingray interjected, gushingfrankly. “Like, the way you were just clobbering that guy! And whenI got to blow his head off—it was so cool!” Charlie couldn’thelp but laugh softly at that.

“See?Red thinks so, too.” Stingray came into the fold while Bee spared afree arm to loop over his son’s shoulders, the young Autobotchirping happily.

“I’mjust glad you guys are alright. And we make a pretty good team, huh?”Bee said with a smile in his voice, bumping temples with Stingray whocould only fluster in protest—like any kid would.

“Whydon’t we hit the road again? I bet we could find some cool placesall to ourselves here,” Charlie hinted with a note ofmischievousness, the other two seeming in perfect agreement despitethe slight ache in her chest.

Whilethey made their way up the cliff side, she couldn’t help butwonder: when would be a good time to ask? And, was she really in herright to? Getting married was always a huge thing and part of herworried she hadn’t known Bee long enough, that she’d just bethere to weigh him down. And she was only eighteen, too. Was she evenready for that kind of commitment? Letting these doubts sink into herlike stones, she bit her tongue on the ascension up and praisedwhatever was out there for neither Stingray nor Bee noticing.

Maybesome other time.
