We should totally have more jl fics where someone is acting ooc and immediately everyone is trying to determine whether they're an imposter or brainwashed or possessed without making it obvious.

Like, a running joke on the tower. Batman makes a sarcastic joke and flash immediately asks him to blink twice if he's under mind control.

Someone starting a sentence with 'Not to be possessed but -'

People calling off sick by saying 'if I come in today that's not me and you should arrest them' and then dragging themselves in to pick up something they accidentally left and everyone takes the mick by saying stuff like 'this isn't you! I believe in you, you can fight this!' when they're grabbing a hoodie from a chair like har har.

Superhero community slang just in general slipping into their civilian lives. Clark says 'before I start I assure you I have not had my will superseded by mister mind' as an ice breaker at a presentation and gets weird and worried looks all night.

It actually ends up helping on several occasions because it's so very very hard to infiltrate an extremely high risk team and then respond in kind without missing a beat when people casually accuse you of being an imposter because you didn't hold your pen the way you normally do. It'd wreck any controlling consciousness' self esteem XD. They've made several shapeshifters cry.

Also the exasperated sighs when you make a suggestion you normally wouldn't and everyone starts squinting at you looking for anything out of the ordinary.

#Ironically it helps security #Even jokingly assuming everyone around you is an imposter does wonders to stop people leaving passwords on sticky notes #Really given the amount of times people have canonically been possesed/mind controlled/replaced it is an actual issue #They just make light of it because that kind of paranoia isn't a healthy way to live and also it's happened so many times it's lost its bit #Gl comes in like 'wonder woman has been dosed into a berserker rage again lol' and everyone rolls their eyes and #Starts to dig up their emergency ropes and nets because like it's the third time this month come on #Jl character centric fics have a lot of people acting out of character and there's a lot less suspicion of mind control or w/ever than #There should be lmao #Given how often it happens #batman #jla #justice league #superman #dc #dc comics #captain marvel #dc flash #wonder woman #green lantern #bruce wayne #clark kent #One time Martian man hunter does a prank where he pretends to be someone else on the watchtower when they're not in the room #By evening everyone's been sighted in at least two locations at the same time and the jl is whipping themselves into a frenzy before he #Reveals himself and gets food thrown at him in revenge XD

Starscream has like this, one sided dislike toward Rung because he thinks Rung and Rodimus are dating, and he is inevitably jealous of Rung because Rung has the frame type he kinda desires. Rung and Roddy did date in the past, but Rung broke things off with Rodimus for personal reasons (Rodimus was kinda toxic) and has no interest in him, and Rodiumus has no feelings toward Rung that are romantic, they are just friends.

What Rodimus does do tho, is trap Starscream and Rung in a room together so they can be friends, because he cannot have his ex and his conjunx hating each other. Starscream is insecure about everything, but he and Rung become friends and Rung actually becomes his therapist to help him deal with his insecurities and the need to change his body.

And rung is a good therapist and listens to/validates starscream in a way no one ever has. So those two become close friends and Starscream likes to keep Rung around as an advisor when he can,

meanwhile, Rodimus physically recoils whenever optimus is around starscream because he is actually jealous of optimus.

#and then he's jealous of Cyclonus because Starscrea has commented on Cyclonus before #Starscream tho only has eyes for Rodimus #Starscream #Rodimus Prime #rung and starscream become good friends like a queen and her lady in waiting #tho when starscream figures out why rung and rodimus broke up #he is very much side eying Rodimus #tbh #sometimes the whole lost light crew taddles to starscream about how bad rodimus is as a captain #but since starscream is so dickmatized it is hard for him to impose any serious sanctions #rung transformers #rung mtmte

Send a ‘💬’ to catch a glimpse of a memory my muse has.

"I have to tell you something."

Vortex continues playing with a colorful cube he grabbed from First Aid's desk in his workplace. He's sitting across from him with his legs propped up and crossed in the corner of the table, distracted by this puzzle game he can never figure out.

"Vortex." First Aid sighs as he places the datapad he's holding down. He almost reaches out to grab the cube from Vortex until he speaks up.

"You know if you need to say something it's better if you just rip the plating off and get it out." The copter replies while he still fidgets with the cube, although when he doesn't hear the medic speak up he finally takes his sight off the puzzle to peer over to them. His helm tilts to the side as he watches First Aid stare a hole into his desk. "Are you breaking up with me?"

"Wha-" The red mech stumbles his words before looking at the copter. "No! It's-" He sighs rubbing his helm with a servo and peering away for a moment before returning his attention. "I'm joining the Lost Light before it leaves Cybertron... again."

The Combaticon throws his helm back laughing and stops when noticing First Aid's expression hasn't changed. "You can't be serious." He responds, disappointed as he moves his legs off the table to turn and face the medic. "Why? To chase that dumb rumor of finding Knights?" Vortex questions while placing the cube on the desk.

"It's more than that." As First Aid speaks he reaches out to take the puzzle from Vortex and places it back on the display it normally stays on. "They need more medics, Ratchet is there and-"

"What about me?"

Silence fills the room as the two stare at each other. One with a determined look while the other felt like they were gambling their choices on what to say.

"You could join." The red and white mech finally speaks up, knowing well enough it's not the answer Vortex is looking for. "The others can too."

"On a ship, full of Autobots?" He vents out with a huff. "Yeah, I'll pass. I know that Magnus mech is there and he'd arrest all of us simply for existing, and don't even get me started on Megatron." The teal copter places his servos on the desk as he gets up, but his arm is grabbed before he can turn away.

"Hey, wait..."

"Aid there's nothing you can say or do that'll change my mind." Vortex declares while grabbing the medic's servo to remove it. "I refuse to participate in that pointless pursuit while in a ship where I'll have to watch over my shoulder the entire time."

"Vortex I-"

The Combaticon places a claw against First Aid's lip. "Don't. You made your decision." He pulls his servo away and turns to make his way to the exit. The door slides open and he's unable to look back as he knows he'd be met with that look of distress on their face. "I'll be here when... if you come back." Vortex steps through the door while stating his last bit. Unfortunately for the medic, it's not those three little words everyone likes to hear.

"Take care of yourself First Aid."

#red-in-revolt #asks #Set after that whole Dark Cybertron mess #And before the Lost Light leaves with Megs as co-captain #Boy I love idw timelines

SG Sentient LL on my mind again… I’ve thought of a Rodimus lookalike for a good whole and now I’m thinking about like… a scenario with a rodimus lookalike who actively wants to be Rodimus.

Think about Pyro from LSOTW where after he encountered Optimus Prime, he took to adopting his ideals, his methods, and even his appearance to better represent him. Imagine there’s a Pyro for Rodimus; there’s an Autobot out there who was inspired by him so much that becoming him was a better idea than being their own unique self. Like Pyro they’re also young, a rookie to the job, and thus impressionable to Autobot propaganda all the same. Their desire to represent their role model undermines their self confidence/self worth, so they suppress their natural personality and dreams because they believe they’ll never be great by their lonesome.

They’d be under LL’s spell perfectly, falling for their manipulation (@oldboyjensenhinglemeier pretty much wrote the highlights of what I was thinking in the original thread) and seeing them as a true friend. The lookalike would easily turn on their crew to pursue their dream of being Rodimus. They think they know what they want for themself, and they think LL knows them best because LL knew Rodimus best. It’s only after a long time with LL that their true self begins to show, an insecure and nervous spark pretending to be bold and brave. They begin to self reflect, and think about what they really truly want… is this right? Is taking on the mantle of someone like Rodimus a good thing?

And that’s when their interests begin to fall a little out of line with the ship’s.

#idk just a thought #i like the idea of a willing Rodimus pretender….#someone who fully believes in LL because they feel like they have someone who finally treats him right #oldboy did a good job describing some of my thought process LMAO #not-rodimus starts out befriending Lightlost because they knew the captain. then they slowly begin to manipulate him and turn him against #his crew so he can be theirs #it works and they stay together with not-rodimus being the happiest he’s ever been #until he’s like ‘wait is this right?’#anyway don’t take this as SGLL canon this is just a fun thought to add to the au-au pool everyone is in of a rodimus clone XD #real canon it’s just LL and the whole LL crew in perpetual agony #and rodimus getting frankensteined/repaired to stay alive after everyone else dies :) I like that idea thanks guys!#anyway im rambling lmao #sentient lost light au #cjj sayeth #shattered glass

Round 2 Part 5 Poll 3

Propaganda

What a glorious peacock of a man! Perhaps not the greatest captain seafaring-wise; but Steve's a fabulous captain personnel-wise. A captain who makes sure is crew is fed, watered, has enough enrichment in arts & crafts, and does the voices during the bedtime story!

Rodimus' a badass goofball fire boy who changes and develops and grows into an amazing captain, who still finds time to hang out with friends and meteor surf <3

Audhd moment when you imagine two fandoms being smashed together.

Like the Protostar stumbling on the giant as Lost Light.

#Star Trek #transformers #fuck I kinda wanna write it #the protostar would be a frigging speck on the lost light’s windscreen tho #maccadam #all hell would break loose because both captains have such a similar personality #janeway facepalming in the background

Mari's gaze is quite uninterested and cold, by virtue of the resting bitch face and her eyes, but when she looks at someone or something she likes or is passionate about? She just has this oxymoronic look that's both soft and intense.

#➤ h e a d c a n o n┊ ❛ the picture isn't pretty but it's perfect ❜#mari is a cat in the body of a 6'1'' woman no i will not elaborate #except i totally will in that mari is an oxymoron of a person who's both passionate and passionless and truthful but a liar??#when i first created her she was an 18 year old captain of a volleyball team who would cry in the bathroom if she lost and that was #simultaneously her life and something she loved and something she felt obligated to do because she was so determined to be better than yui #and there's more to life than being better than someone and she knows that but she doesn't accept it because if she's not the best #she's nothing and that's why she holds herself to such fucking high standards she feels like she has to be twice as good to have half #of what others have because of who she is and how she is #so yes she's bitchy but she's always been like the moon who only shines because of the light from the sun and she wants to step out of that #and when i played her years ago the people she was closest to were the ones who didn't take her at face value and idk it's fun

Let’s visit the market

Who's ready for part 3 from season 2 of my ongoing story set in the universe of the sentient sg/ll from @cuppajj ?

Today, our boys go shopping. Yay!

Trigger Warning: None

..,,..--..,,..--..,,..--..,,..--..,,..--..,,..--..,,..

Phoenix was getting restless on their small ship. Rodimus could see it in the way the young spark would rummage through the piles of items left behind by his former crew, or when he looked through the things he brought from the Lost Light, or when he swung his, well, Drift’s sword carefully in the back of the ship.

On the Lost Light, Phoenix always had something to do. Be it discovering new rooms, cleaning anything he could, finding the remains of the crew or talking to either him or Lightlost. There was always something to do, to take his mind away from the problems haunting him, but here? Rodimus knew that now, Phoenix could only either help him steer the small ship or try to distract himself with something he brought with him.

Maybe that’s why he decided to land their ship on one of the neutral cybertronian colonies he remembered. Even when it was a hard fight to get Phoenix out of the ship and towards the next settlement.

“I don’t want to go out there! Lightlost said that the ground of other planets can eat you up, or, or what about the rust plague! Or, OR, the mechs with pointy teeth!” Rodimus could hear the sheer and utter fear in Phoenix’s voice, as the youngling counted off every lie Lightlost told him to keep him with them. Granted, Rodimus won’t deny that some things were true, but they weren’t on every planet. At least, as far as he knew. Although, what concerned him the most was the way Phoenix’s optics would widen concerningly while his whole frame shook in terror, before mutttering quietly. “Wh-what… What about the Sparkeaters?”

“What about them?” Asked Rodimus, as he turned towards the entrance of the ship. Throwing his hands out to gesture wildly around himself. “If Sparkeaters were here, they would have attacked me right away, don’t you think?” Asked the prime, before putting both servos on his hips and giving Phoenix a rather cocky smirk. “Now, get out of there, or are you too much of a Robo-chicken?” This seemed to get Phoenix’s attention, because the young spark’s fearful demeanor turned from surprised to offended in a sparkbeat.

“I am… I am NOT a Robo-chicken!” Yelled Phoenix. “I have never been a Robo-chicken!”

“Are you sure?” Asked Rodimus with an even wider smirk. “Because, right now, you’re very much acting like a frightened Robo-chicken.” Rodimus laughed, before letting out a surprised ‘Eep’ as he was being tackled to the ground by Phoenix. Who was, much to the prime's amusement, softly hitting his chestplate while exclaiming that he was, indeed, no Robo-chicken.

However, Phoenix was quick to stop hitting his brother, as soon as he realized that he was no-longer inside the safety of their ship. In fact, he was some feets away from the ship and its door was closed. This revelation caused Phoenix to slowly get up and take a few more steps away from the ship. Staring at the blue sky above him, while his wings fluttered together with the light breeze blowing in the clearing. This was new. This was a new sensation for the young spark, who only knew Cybertron and the confinement of space crafts.

The green stuff on the ground and underneath his pedes was new. The tall organic things growing towards the sky were new. And then there were the sounds of strange creatures calling each other in the distance. And, there was a strange animal with antlers looking at him, but when Phoenix took one step towards it, it ran away. Leaving the youngling awestruck.

“That was a Robo-deer. They’re a very shy type of cybertronian animal.” Explained Rodimus, after getting up and making his way over to Phoenix. Placing one servo on the youngling’s shoulder. “I guess the neutrals who moved here somehow managed to take some with them and they multiplied on this planet. Before the war, there were many of them on cybertron and some of us used to hunt them for their antlers, but now? They’re all gone. I guess they were the first victims…” Said Rodimus before grabbing Phoenix’s servo and leading him out of the clearing and towards the neutral settlement.

And if the Robo-deer left Phoenix awestruck, the utter harmony the neutral Cybertronians lived together with the organic world around them filled the young spark with nothing more than pure amazement. His crew, or at least some of his crew, often talked about how annoying it was to work either with organic life or on organic planets and often said that it was impossible for Cybertronians to live on such planets. But here? All Phoenix saw here was mechs and femmes going about their usual business. Using big organic structures, Rodimus told him that they were called trees (at least the prime thought they were trees), as bases to build giant homes onto them. Rodimus told him that they were called ‘Treehouses’ by humans . And Phoenix could see why. Some were homes, some were stores, one very big tree was even holding something that looked like a hospital, and over all, those structures very much resembled the buildings Phoenix has seen on Cybertron.

But while the treetops held the buildings, the ground held the market. Or, at least Rodimus told him this was a market. Phoenix himself couldn’t really understand how someone could call this a market. Every mech and femme, who wasn’t buying something, was either sitting on the ground by their wares or standing behind a woodent structure with a table underneath a shirm? Rodimus said those things were called stalls, but the youngling couldn’t associate the word with anything.

“Where are the shops?” Asked the confused youngling, to which Rodimus only replied. “There are none. At least, not in this settlement. All the Cybertronians selling their things either use stalls or simply place their stuff on the ground and sell it there.” This answer didn’t help Phoenix’s confusion, but he decided not to dwell on that any longer. The locals surely had their reasons to sell their wares like this.

So, while Rodimus was doing the shopping, Phoenix was allowed to wander a little bit around. As long as he could still see his brother, that is. And wander, he did. There were many new things after all, and Phoenix couldn’t help himself from exploring as much as he could. He even bought himself some paints and a few brushes with the Shanix Rodimus gave him. Phoenix was planning to decorate the insides of their ship a little bit, and he thought that painting something on the walls would be fun. He did paint a little bit on the walls of the Light lost too after all. Granted, some of those paintings did disappear, but others were still on the walls when he checked on them. Hopefully his paintings won't disappear this time.

“Phoenix, I’m done with shopping. We should head back and… Phoenix?” Rodimus called, before realizing that he could no longer see his brother. Which sent the prime into a frenzy to find the missing youngling. What if someone kidnapped him? What if the Lost Light catched up to them? Or worse, what if Phoenix somehow got himself killed or kidnapped by a lunatic! Okay, some would also call Rodimus a lunatic, but that was different. There were some serious dangerous mechs and femmes out there, who were even worse than Rodimus himself. And that alone says a lot about them.

“Phoenix! Please, this isn’t funny!”

“I’m right here Roddy….” Answered the youngling, as he pushed past two taller Cybertronians blocking the path. “Stop shouting, everyone is already looking at us.”

For a second, Rodimus thought that his spark had stopped. Is this how the Lost Light might have felt when they made their escape? They probably did, only… differently to how the prime felt, because even if he shortly lost Phoenix, he wouldn’t start locking him up or forbid the youngling to go and explore some other planets.

Primus and Unicron both strike him down if he ever did something like that.

“Come Phoenix, let’s go back to our ship. I think we had enough adventure for one day.

Back at their ship, Rodimus put away his shopping items, while Phoenix started to paint one of the walls in the back of the ship. Making sure that Rodimus couldn’t see what he was painting everytime the prime would walk past him or try to get a look. After the tenth try, Rodimus decided to wait for the time Phoenix would show him what he was working on. Which was sooner than he had expected.

“Okay… I can recognize me and you… but who are the others?” Asked Rodimus with a light tilt of the head, as the youngling pointed at the painting of a tall femme with the same colouration than Phoenix. “ Yup, I painted my family. That’s my mother. Her name is Tankcrusher, but she prefers being called Big Bessie.” Explained the youngling, as his wings gave a small happy twitch. “And that’s Old Man. He was kinda like a grandfather to me. He was the one who always protected me from my crew. And the darker one is… is…… Lightlost…” Phoenix crew quiet after muttering the name.

Rodimus only gave a small nod, before patting Phoenix’s shoulder. Some things are harder to let go than others. He knew that.

“I think it’s wonderful, and… I’m honored that you see me as family.” Said the prime with a smile.

#sentient sg/lost light au #phoenix #rodimus #cuppajj #gotta love the brother energy both of our boys are showing #also #I was watching Tangled again today #maybe that influenced me a little bit #the working title was When Will My Life Begin after all #Phoenix painting on walls is something he's been doing even before the Lost Light #but he stopped after getting a stern talking from his former captain #(he mostly does it to help him navigate)#(regular Phoenix mostly does it to piss others off)
