For some reason this scene really scratches something in my artistic brain and I feel the need to draw it every time.

Baby Motormaster being the grumpiest, little sparkling in Nesting Instinct, and so easily jealous of Silverbolt's steady legs, so-
He gets training wheels, and it's exactly what you think:
A set of smaller wheels that pins into his knees, and it keeps him upright. The downside is that if he wants to rest, then he needs to belly-flop forward, but he takes it stride because he can chase up to Silverbolt to get the coziest spot of TC's armature.
So Motormaster uses his newfound, if a little wobbly, legs to follow Thundercracker everywhere like the noisiest, angiest duckling to exist.

The Curious Creation Of the Ghoul Nest
**Not really an incorrect quote so much as mindless fluff I’m writing to make myself feel better cus this week sucks**
Amongst each generation of Ghouls it has became tradition that, on the first night back from tour, on very cold nights, or just when the general stress level gets a bit too high, everyone helps form a massive nest in the Ghoul common room for cuddling safety purposes. This how Copia’s Ghouls handle the tradition.
Dewdrop and Rain are responsible for gathering every blanket, towel, pillow, cushion, and plushie they can get their sneaky little hands on and ferrying the mountain of soft things to the common room. At this point folks know not to bother the piles of blankets with legs they may encounter toddling through the halls.
Swiss and Sunshine are on snack duty (Mountain used to try and help but he and Sunny would often get into friendly food fights and Aether got tired of needing to move the fridge to sweep out the Cheeto graveyard that usually resulted) the type of snacks that the Multis prepare changes based on season and general mood of the group but Cheetos and puppy chow are always in the mix.
Mountain is now permanently in charge of movie selection. He spends a pretty decent amount of time outside the nesting evenings carefully screening and curating a little stack of options that he presents to the group for a vote on the night of. All the DVDs in the common room have neatly written notes tucked into their case that list general movie vibe, song quality rating, and subtitle options for the film.
Cumulus and Cirrus are in charge of scooting all the softest couches and chairs into a general nest shape in front of the fireplace, and then forming the actual nest with Dew, Rain, and their army of plushies. It’s a delicate process of making sure the nest is close enough to the fire in the colder months, within the perfect cross breeze in the warmer months ,and has enough surfaces within reaching distance for drinks, snacks, and remotes. The nest is always made big enough for everyone to cuddle sleep safely while still being able to stretch a bit.
Aether has, according to him, the most difficult task; Dragging Copia away from his paperwork for the night. The first time the nesting occurred during Copia’s reign he refused to leave, stating that there was far too much work to be done. Aether then arrived in the common room a few minutes later with the blustering Cardinal slung over his shoulder. At this point Copia knows not to try to get anything done after 6pm the day a tour ends or when he looks up from his work to find Aether standing beside his chair with his arms crossed. He only pretends to bluster a little bit for show before “giving up” and helping Aether retrieve drinks and pizza.
Once everyone has been gathered, all the food is ready, and the movie roster for the night has been determined, everyone climbs into the nest and gets comfortable and the evening of relaxation can begin. Ghouls are shuffled around as they fall asleep (Copia usually winds up in the middle of the pile) and everyone has a well deserved restful nights sleep.
Bonus: the other Papas
Nine time out of ten when these nesting nights occur one or more of the former Papas will just so happen to be “passing by” and eventually wind up in the cuddle pile.
Primo has long since abandoned any attempt to deny why he’s there and typically shows up with extra pillows and a massive thermos of tea to share. He love it when the movies for the night include anything Disney because they’re fun to sing along with.
Secondo will usually walk into the common room “by accident” claiming he was looking for another room or sleepwalking and will then pretend to watch the movie while scooting closer and closer to the nest until a ghoul pulls him the rest of the way in. The fact that he always has a bottle of something to share is entirely coincidental and no, he has no idea how thoes new movies wound up on the shelf.
Terzo will dramatically sweep into the room under the pretext of needing to bother Copia with something or looking for his brothers only to drop a large bag of chocolates onto one of the tables and wriggle into the pile, blanket in tow, without another word. No matter where he enters the nest he will inevitably wind up next to Copia in the very middle of the cuddle pile.

Creeptober 12 - Obsession 10 of Cups/MAG 102 - Nesting Instinct
"I watched this new person go about their happy life for almost an entire night before I finally decided that I simply had to ask him what had happened. At first he appeared puzzled by my question, but when I told him how much happier he seemed, his smile grew wide. He leaned in close to me and looked around playfully, as if pretending to check for eavesdroppers. “A woman,” he said at last, “François, I am in love. And she loves me!” And then, without warning he grabbed me with both arms and pulled me into a short embrace, which I was simply too stunned to resist.
Up close, I could not help but notice the faintest of odours from his skin. It was a damp smell, like decaying wood, and it wasn’t until I had a chance to shower and change my clothes after work that I finally managed to rid myself of it completely. It was not a pleasant smell, certainly, but it was not awful. What bothered me was its presence at all. I knew Benoît to be a clean, almost fastidious man, prone to wearing slightly too much cologne. This was new, and beyond that there was… something to the smell itself, some memory of a childhood spent in the country around Lyon, of wandering out in the damp heat after a summer rain, of turning over logs slick with moisture, to reveal the crawling underbelly beneath them."

Happy Halbarry week! Here’s chapter 1 of Nesting Instinct, The Mockingbird and the Barn Owl, based on the prompt Opposites Attract.
A summary of this story: our favorite guys are avians, how crazy is that? Hal grew up in what is functionally Avian Hell, or Project Angel, as it’s colloquially known. He gets sent out to infiltrate a flock, where he meets Barry and a whole bunch of other people. Unfortunately, he also hates Barry, because Barry is a genuinely nice person, and Hal doesn’t know how to respond to that other than the intense urge to destroy it. Things happen to them! Very exciting!
Seriously, though, this story has been fun to write and has helped me work through some stuff, because who am I if I’m not Writing To Cope. Here’s hoping that you like it if you decide to read it :)
Have a nice day!

Nesting instinct has well and truly kicked in...
I'm on my hands and knees (and bump technically) scrubbing the floor like a 1400s peasant girl.
Guess I might as well get used to this random cleaning shit for the next month.

Pregnancy Nesting Instinct in Women: Exploring the Natural Drive and Understanding its Significance
Nesting is an instinctual behavior commonly experienced by women in the later stages of pregnancy. It involves a solid urge to clean, organize, and prepare the home for the arrival of a new baby. This phenomenon is not only limited to humans but is also observed in the animal kingdom, indicating its deep biological roots. The drive to nest is thought to be motivated by a desire to provide a safe environment for the newborn, and feelings of anticipation and excitement may accompany it.
