Hi! I was reading the most recent chapter and was wondering on some clarification about something.

This part when SW and Rodimus are talking says:

"Mourning and grief washed over Rodimus. “Oof.” He smelled ash and buildings burning. Screams rose in his processor. Emergency escape protocols primed for action. The flat palm pressed against Soundwave's chest curled into a fist. Each finger dragged a tiny sliver of blue paint with it. “Holy shit.”

Soundwave retracted his field. Its sudden absence whiplashed Rodimus from smothering grief to echoing hollowness. He vented quickly and dismissed the emergency protocols. Soundwave said nothing. His visor displayed a faint wireform of Rodimus, as it often did when they were together in private. Reticles centered around the form's face and chest.

Rodimus touched the bottom of Soundwave's visor, where his fingers had once pulled away wet with blue. You saw Nyon and you cried... because you knew what it meant to destroy something you loved. “It hurt.”"

Does this mean Rodimus was aware that SW has seen his memories of Nyon?

This moment was intriguing to me because it feels like they're both brushing into deeper emotions (especially SW). Its really cool we get to see Rodimus's perspective during this conversation. Is there anything you can share about how SW was feeling during this moment?

Hello!

>Does this mean Rodimus was aware that SW has seen his memories of Nyon?

Yes. In ch 43 we see Rodimus's thoughts:

“Are you afr- afraid of m- me?” “Nah,” said Rodimus. He tried to lift his spoiler. Only the right side rose. He forced cheer into his voice. “You kidding me? As far as I can tell, you pulled something out of me that killed a god.” And you cried doing it. You saw Nyon and you cried. Rodimus swallowed. “How cool is that?”

That's the first instance of "You saw Nyon and you cried."

It comes up again in the most recent chapter, in the excerpt that you have above. We see that thought continued/concluded: You saw Nyon and you cried… because you knew what it meant to destroy something you loved.

They are indeed brushing into deeper emotions here. SW has shared one of his most devastating memories and Rodimus now has a reference point for SW's pain.

Writing this part in Rodimus's POV meant that we didn't see SW's struggle from the inside, as we usually do, but I had challenged myself to do an all-Roddy POV chapter.

I'll go through the scene and tell you what SW's thought process was :)

We start this scene with Rodimus entering SW's room. Rodimus has been avoiding SW, so SW is equal parts excited and nervous to see Rodimus. These emotions are shown to the reader via Rodimus noting how his tentacles are moving (Soundwave's emotions come out in his body language more and more as the fic goes on. Differently than his LL friends, of course, but due to their influence on him. He even wondered if he would start doing that in a previous chapter). Rodimus invites him to pick a game, but SW doesn't want to do that. He wants to... talk. He wants to hold Rodimus while he talks. He arranges his tentacles in the shapes they take on when holding Rodimus, so he can show Rodimus what he wants instead of having to say it.

Once properly settled, it takes a bit for SW to get into it, but he's bursting to share the garden with Rodimus. He plays the sounds of the stream and the dripping stalactites. He shares the crystals and data with Rodimus, explaining a few in detail. He enjoys sharing this.

Rodimus asks for clarification re: the garden.

“This is the garden you told me about a long time ago? With... Megatronus?” “Affirmative. I was made to destroy my life's work with my own hands.” The cyphers froze and went out. “I could replay the explosions. I mapped them all precisely. I do not want to.” “Don't. You super don't have to do that.” The tentacles slid around Rodimus. He squeezed them gently.

This tentacles sliding represent SW's gratefulness at not having to detail the destruction of the crystals.

SW tells Rodimus it hurt. It's hard for him to say it, so he repeats the words. Rodimus kisses him, then holds still. The kisses are for Rodimus, the stillness is for SW. SW appreciates it.

SW says that returning from 2938 hurt. Rodimus takes a moment to get what he means: returning from 2938 hurt because the crystals exploded. The garden's crystals exploded and that hurt, too. One reminds SW of the other. SW is glad Rodimus has put the two together.

Rodimus invites SW to share his pain instead of holding it in. SW doesn't want to, because it hurts. He doesn't want to hurt Rodimus. He knows Rodimus has his own pain. Rodimus insists, so SW does so. He retracts his field when Rodimus says "Holy shit."

They have a little bit more convo. SW is very relieved when Rodimus tells him that if they can get supplies from 0001, SW will never have to build another portal (ie giant crystals) destined to be destroyed again.

SW is relieved to have shared the painful connection between the garden's destruction and the 2938 portal's destruction. The reason for being nervous is over: he has shared the difficult thing.

You didn't ask about Rodimus's admission after this but to summarize: when Rodimus said he didn't feel like he was good enough for Drift and he was afraid SW would leave him, SW was reminded of his own fears, and that Stardrive line that plays over and over in his head. He plays her voice in an attempt to show Rodimus that they both have feelings of inferiority. He doesn't speak to Rodimus's feelings (he doesn't know enough about the whole Drift and Ratchet/gray years thing to comment intelligently and he doesn't want to get mixed up in it) but he explains his own: he's so different, even his fingers are the wrong shapes. But, he proffers, maybe they're not wrong. They're just different. SW hopes Rodimus will agree. SW proposes that they shouldn't fear being inferior anymore. They should turn Rodimus's gift of ultimate understanding inward as well as outward.

Rodimus's suggestion of "Together: superior" absolutely delights him. He thinks it's hilarious because it's a play on his own personal mantra, but it is also true. They do feel better when they're together, and moving forward like that can only do good things. It cements Rodimus as a partner, in his mind, because he specifically used the word 'together.'

That's the rundown =) Thank you for the question! If I think of anything else, I'll reblog with additional info.

DONE EDITING! NOW I CAN JUST RELAX. Gonna start reading it all for pleasure (and a final round of edits) tomorrow afternoon. I am so stoked I can do it all in a month. And this was, ultimately, 305 pages, with 119,280 words. I added like 7,000 words or something like that to my original.

Some rules of thumb in editing say that 10% needs cut, but I write exactly what I want, and it is rough, but then I smooth it by adding. I don't sand it away until I have added clay over a wireform first.

Others sculpt words like marble, take an unfinished piece of marble and cut into it to get what is inside. Neither is more valid than the other. Find your way to write and that is the valid way for you.

More Digimon OC banter except it's NSFW & horrible now:

Still. Debating with this writing reboot with Neodevimon like. What on earth he has down there. I mean, for years it's generally been 'typical' male leaning given RP partners. Except. This isn't RP now & I can be a Freak With It again, I suppose. And interesting 'issue' with a lot of my Digimon writing is like, where does 'clothing' begin, & how weird can it be. In canon materials, clothing seems to BE the skin, & it can't generally be removed. Even weapons never seem to be lost in a lot of cases, or are even used as a sort of hammerspace thing with data. That's fine. However, one thing that MANY people ask me is how anything works with Devimon/Neodevimon, in all of my writing & in RP. Is it all cloth? Rubber? Etc. Honestly I see it personally as neither. You also have to remember this. Given Habu's early notes with individual (you & me) perceptions of Digimon, really, none of it is ever what it seems to us as humans. Nothing is really cloth, iron, etc. It's 1's & 0's, as he puts it. Obviously, that is... difficult to say, convey in writing. In short, it is literally anything you want to make of it as a human perceiving it, & there is thus no correct answer to any of it on Habu's terms. Another note is to notice that nearly all canon depictions of Digimon clothing not only have stitching, but visible veins. The 'clothing' has veins. As for MY writing outside of what is directly stated in canon, it's generally not clothing, & can react & feel exactly how our skin works. It's simply easier this way to see it this way with fully mechanical or artificial Digimon, or like how a Digimon who realistically should not be able to feel any pain, still seems to react to something scratching a material like chrome Digizoit metal. That said, with Devimon/Neodevimon, the "jet black cloth" that covers his body IS his body & cannot normally be removed. Underneath would be the bare wireform as stated with some canon materials with say, underneath Angemon's helmet. He has no face under there, despite what people want to draw (which, I'm fine with, but to me, it's just a half black void under there). Maybe it varies with bioemergence, though. I could see it definitely getting more 'real', even if it shouldn't work with earth physics, with bioemergence. Like hyperreal CGI movies. Anyway. Obviously, I do bend a lot of this to personal headcanon from time to time, but generally, the cloth is just his skin. It produces heat & shifts unnaturally in a way that humans would find disturbing. Some canon materials showed that the zippers on Devimon's body in particular contain teeth, & could drool. This is only really seen in ONE old TCG artwork, but I liked it, so I've used it. What I am saying here, is that OC Devimon/Neodevimon's clothing is 'skin', & that bitch has a mutable pussy filled with teeth. Sorry.
