hi I continue to be horrendously behind on the wings au but I have a song for you that I think fits shattered upside down’s vibe
“Strange Diseases” by Gang of Youths! it’s kinda short but really pretty and I love the lyrics so much
It has been added to the wings au playlist because you are so so right! Also dw about being behind, it's alright!
I mean right away it's starts with "sights and wonders fill the sky," and like. They have wings. They are in the sky. They are seeing the sights and wonders, and maybe...they are the wonders. Food for thought
Also the "We invested in a run-down, one hope place!" reminds me of the abandoned village because like. It was run-down and left to the elements, but the kotlcrew turned it into a home, they turned it into their refugee. Even in its condition they loved it back to life and continue to do so and I think it's neat!
There's of course the overall message of finding beauty in the mundane, which I think can be compared to the wings au's origin of finding beauty in the monstrous. Parallels! The "strange diseases" part is of particular interest to me because when the kotlcrew first got their wings it was like a disease to them. It was weird and strange and (most of them) didn't want it. But now maybe it's a strange disease, but it's their strange disease. it's a part of them and they won't take it back.
My point is that this song is an excellent fit for shattered upside down! Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention!

So, imagine the TFP kids gang got hit by Ancient Cybertronian do-hickey over a sleepover and cyberform into sparklings (I will forever die on the Hill that cyberformed humans are some form of war-builds. You can’t take that me. At all.), and then combine it with memory regression/suppression and oh boy, oh boy, what a mess.
The kids are absolutely cute and 100% goddamn Feral.
When Optimus finally manages to decode the information in regards that the artifact’s power: a vague recollection of to revert/return what was lost he agreed with the team: Unicron’s bullscrap. 
Miko is a smoll Seeker sparkling with pretty amber optics, a worrisome amount of pink upon her thin frame, and has no idea who they are. She managed to squeeze behind the monitors and climb up the computer set up for high-ground. Has sharp teeth and equally sharp little claws. And yes, she had used both sets on an Autobot’s hands. Hissy little thing.
She mainly listens to Optimus ever since he managed to snatch her up by the scruff and growled back at her, he put some force into it with his engines in low-gear with his field pressing down, enough to overwhelm her for a beat. The team is yelling at him while Miko stares at him with wide optics and limp like a docile kitten.
Ratchet fusses over her since Seekerkin femmes are usually larger and bulkier than their mech counterparts, even as sparklings. Miko, however, is on the thinner side, especially since it looks like she’s missing plating. She’s not; her armature will be deceptively fragile, but very flexible. 
Everyone keeps a really good optic on her since that much pink on a mecha’s plating as their original color meant… issues. Ratchet keeps checking on her since her pain receptors are too scattered to stop her from really dangerous stunts. 
Mainly communicates likes a newspark. Squeaks and chirps. Very expressive wings. 
They thought Jack would be the “easy” one since he was once a Responsible Teenager, had actually retained a few memories about his life Before, and can actually communicate in English. They’re wrong. Dead. Wrong.
Local Metal Bird Boy can be found scurrying up the walls and hooking his newfound claws into crevices and digging because he found something behind the walls or beneath the rocks. 
Jack looks built to be an armored jet. At first glance. This bitlet seems to have hints of developing multiple forms. Ratchet had uncovered sets of wheels and had to disable some of his programs related to combat that are too close to the surface. He was worried that it may activate and there’s no need for a sparkling to run around with high-beam plasma.
Has a habit of sneaking up on others, especially on Optimus, Ratchet, and Arcee. It’s possible since Jack has impressive shielding and suppression abilities due to his advanced ventilation systems and military-grade silencers.
Likes watching the ‘bots sleep, the low hum of their frames with relaxed sparks is a soothing sound to him, especially with each ‘bot has a unique pattern and feel to their EM field. Many times, they had been startled awake to see grey-blue optics watching from above.
He’s ridiculously good at hide-and-seek.
Raf is the Baby. As in he’s a baby Predacon. Like the rolliest and roundest one. Absolute chonk of a pup. He’s a metal, yellow and orange potato that likes to be carted around like a football.
Refuses to budge out of his alt-mode for anything. Eats, sleeps, and plays as a small, metal dragon. Enjoys being tucked up on a chassis and having his neck scratched.
Blind as a bat. There’s film over his optics. It doesn’t seem to be newspark-thickness, but Ratchet has no idea and can only work with what he knows about sparkling care with the present frame-types. Predacons, however, had been extinct, but it shouldn’t be too different. Hopefully.
The Autobots can’t leave anything on the ground or Raf will attempt to stuff it in his mouth. With surprisingly, if varying, levels of success. Horrifies them that he can actually eat rocks and metal ore without getting sick. If left unattended, then he will try to nibble on live wires and will gnaw on weapons.
Very limited communication. Much like Miko, he barks, chirps, and squeaks. It’s a strange scene to watch Miko and Raf making a racket as Jack is quite still and nods or frowns with their conversation. Optimus can actually follow their proto-language quite well. Bumblebee was disappointed that none of them can understand his binary.
They collectively give thanks to whatever deity watching them that the kids’ have functional EM fields. It’s the most straight-forward, direct form of nonverbal communication. Raf and Miko are very expressful and demand to be heard. Jack, on the other hand, tends to be more quiet and subdued. More like an undercurrent that slips into their own without notice until he tugs them, burning with questioning/inquisitive and curiosity.
Miko and Jack are completely delighted when Raf figures out to puff out small bits of flame. And yes, they do bring Raf flammable things to play with. They tickle his softer underbelly to get him to snort and hiccup bits of fire. They like drawing on the walls and floors with their bits of charcoal and piles of ash. 
It seems to be a universal rule that younglings of any species can always find a way to get filthy in a short amount of time. Between Raf’s constant rolling and rummaging for rocks and Miko’s and Jack’s urges to climb all over the place, all three get dusty and crusty. Especially when they dig into the sand and dirt.
It becomes a daily duty to get those three clean. Raf has a dedicated, makeshift bowl of a bathtub where Jack and Miko can join the showers.
It’s a two-mecha job. One to focus on Raf and watch the doorway and floor. (Raf can and will attempt to eat the towels, cleansers, and buffing equipment.) One to scrub Jack and Miko’s backs, particular their developing flight systems, and coax Miko into drying off because she will refuse to leave the shower.
They get a kiddie pool in the middle of the base, well away from equipment, and it’s the greatest thing ever: Occupies the kids for long periods of time, especially with some toys.
Ratchet actually complimented Agent Fowler’s recommendation, and man had side-eyed the mech for the entire visit. 
Jack and Miko managed to lure in an injured cougar into the base. They hid it in the back, well away from everyone else, and tagged team on its caring and feeding schedule since Jack would tell any adult that they were playing hide-and-seek.
No one figured out what was wrong since Jack has a habit of suppressing his own EM field, and figured out how to mask Miko whenever they snuck out the base to hunt animals.
Bulkhead realized something was up when the kiddie pool was quite bloody one day when he was cleaning up a messy Raf that escaped the playpen. Again. The towels were stained red.  
The sheer amount of screaming and tears it caused when the Autobots relocated the cougar to a sanctuary. 
Optimus is truly a leader when he was able to withstand their sad, wilting wings, shiny and wet optics, and wails.
He does hold them in his lap as they pick out a wildlife sanctuary, and Ratchet hooks up the TV to view the public camera of the animals, so they could watch Nightstrike.

More moth-trap visitors from the past couple of weeks, being recorded & released. May we all find soft and comforting bugs when we need them
1. A delightful pile of moths - chonky secret mustard (large yellow underwing 💛🪽), shuttle-shaped dart 🏸🎯, and Vine's rustic 🍇🧑‍🌾
2 & 3. One of my favourite micromoths, the maple button 🍁🔘 with its beautiful net-patterned wings
4. More chonks 💛🪽
5. Brimstone 🪨💛, what a ray of sunshine it is
6. Straw underwing 🌾🪽 such great carpet-like patterns, brown moths are underrated I tell you
7. Yellow shell 💛🐚 so many squiggles on those lovely wings
8. Cappuccino moth ☕🦋 AKA riband wave 🎀🌊
9. A peachy clay triple lines 〰️3️⃣ a new species for my garden!
10. Green lacewing 💚🪽... Sir, this is a moth-trap
If you enjoy bugs like these, make some space for them if you have a garden - leave some weeds & long grasses for them to eat, and some dead leaves for them to hide/overwinter in. If you don't have a garden, you can help by, taking care of public wild spaces, reporting damage to urban trees, or asking your local council to consider mowing verges after wildflowers have gone to seed for example.
Thank you from the Moth Promotional Board 🦋✨

the process of binding a study in scarlette:
SO. i had a Vision for this fic, right from the start. so many new things i wanted to do and almost no idea how to do it. but let's start from the beginning, shall we?
i usually don't do anywhere NEAR this amount of brainstorming and designing but the fic has so many motifs and details that i knew i wanted to fit in, so i had to draw it all out and piece everything together.
here are a few of my behind-the-scenes brainstorming notes:
Tumblr media
this was the very first brainstorm i did, it was basically me flinging a bunch of cool book stuff i saw other people doing at the wall and seeing what stuck in my brain.
Tumblr media
this was an idea for a cover which incorporated symbols for each of the chapters inside the branches, but i just wasn't fond of the execution of the draft. so i scrapped it, eventually settling on the silhouette cover for the final.
i had big dreams! and not much experience to back it up with ! so after finishing the typeset, i put it aside for a bit and did a couple other binds first.
Tumblr media
this was my second brainstorm, i started to figure out the direction i wanted the illustrations to go in, no longer aimlessly tossing vibes around!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i did a lot of waffling about different versions of the back cover design. here's a couple that i scrapped!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
over the summer, i decided to finally stop procrastinating and printed out the typeset (after making a few revisions to it). it's a Chonk. i pressed it some, which helped, but it definitely still had a lot of swell.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sewing with red thread.
Tumblr media
endpapers cut, glued, and a glow in the dark paint test.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
built a press...up til this point i'd just been stacking a bunch of thick books on top of my binds, but for this one i needed a lying press to sand my edges, so i finally caved. who needs tools? my edge painted book needs tools :(
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sanding edges with power sander
so. this was my first time doing anything with edges, so i did a little test on a book i already had; it was a bit of a process trying to work out how much i should dilute it, and it took a bit of trial and error. doing the bottom edge first was the right call ^^;; it's the flakiest out of all the edges on the final bind. i'm really happy with the fore edge though, i got a really even and nice coat on it.
Tumblr media
rounding, gluing and (an attempt at) backing
so. it was the day before i was moving. i had run out of time to procrastinate any more. the rounding was quite rushed and i barely backed it at all. there was also the fact that i don't have backing boards and was winging it with absolute unfounded confidence. it still turned out okay though so i got away with it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
dug out a 5 yen coin from who knows where for the bookmark. didn't have pliers with me yet so i had to close the crimp with a metal water bottle and arm strength. who needs tools right
Tumblr media Tumblr media
endbands. i love sewing endbands, but man, for chonk fics it gets Long. i think they each took like 2-4 hours to do. i briefly considered learning double core endbands for this bind but decided against it as i barely just got a handle on regular ones. discovery: my ambitions have limits!
Tumblr media
this was my finalized cover design. i had planned to do it all with htv, but last minute decided to do the silhouette as a linocut instead. i'd never done one before but i had the materials and the fearlessness that only a beginner (who does not know the limits of fear) can have; i think it turned out good :>
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the final stretch!!!! it was at this point, when i realized that the size i'd carved the linocut at would be too wide for the half binding case i had planned. improvisation time. i decided to switch from a regular case binding to a three piece bradel. i have only done case bindings and stab bindings at this point...and with only mild panic and stubborn hubris to fuel me, i went for it. i had already attached an oxford hollow and cut my boards, but it probably wouldn't make too much of a difference! fuck around and find out!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
cutting the cloth and adhering the htv. the summary on the back was HELL to weed, and some of the letters ended up crooked. i should've just printed it letterpress, but i was running out of patience.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i followed DAS bookbinding's tutorial on youtube of his in-boards three piece bradel and the part where i had to tuck in the spine cloth in between the hollow was definitely the trickiest, but it went okay in the end!
Tumblr media
after attaching the boards and gluing down the endpapers i was finally done!!!! after months and months of the unfinished textblock guilting me from the corner of my room, it's finally finished! fancy pics coming soon!
Tumblr media
i learned SO MUCH from this bind, sanding edges, painting edges, linocuts, multiple colors of htv, oxford hollows, and a whole new style of binding....yeah. it was a ride! thanks for reading to the end!

Sparkstrike again!
She's one of the biggest cats in the Clans, literally the size of and can 1v1 a large dog
She's a little darker and redder than Firestar thanks to Kestrelscorch (Squilf)
Wing ears can also be interpreted as flames
Looks vaguely like Thunderstar & Lightningstar (Lightning Stripe) in addition to Firestar
This ref predates SqH
she packin some chonk

WIP Whenever!
Tagged by @heniareth and @shivunin, thank you a lot! We have a lot of pencils this week...
Tumblr media
Something Silmarillion related. The first of the Dragons in Tolkien lore, Glaurung (a wyrm! So, traditional old english dragon, without wings), is described in the Lost Tales as a dragon that grew fat and lazy after getting his paws over a treasure. My mind went on HE CHONK! I'm finalising the doodle.
Someone's very happy about her beloved gaining a tummy. They're supposed to be working and as always sitting very normally on that couch, you have two perfectly straight people, of course.
DadWolf is going better, I'm posting it here in the hope you all won't run after me with torches and pitchfork after tomorrow's page.
It's becoming a sequence.
I'm also finally getting a hold on Dark Lady's next chapter, possibly finishing it, but we're keeping it at drawing for now.
Tagging! @salsedinepicta @ndostairlyrium @herearedragons @rowanisawriter @star--nymph (if it's another good week, writing wise?) @transprincecaspian @brother-genitivi @cullenvhenan @morgandarcyarts and YOU! You whom my ferret brain forgot!
