When Silver saved Soundwave as they fell into the void, Laserbeak decided to cling onto him to ensure he doesn't wander off without them. Again. Screw whatever canon says
Soundwave and Shockwave then proceed to knock them out lol
Jasper: Hopefully, with Ravage healed, He can finally leave us alone.
LATER:
Silver: JASPER, YOU BASTARD!! YOU FRAGGING JINXED IT-
Jasper: STOP YELLING AT ME!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO-!!
My brain is in demand for SG soundstar atm...but I'd have to finish my long list of: things I wanna write which is rather long and all SoundStar related or adjacent (starwavewave)
-tf es
-tf prime
-tfone
Sdw but he's surrounded by all of the things he's been gifted by Starscream before they broke up. It's small things like snacks, blankets, books, etc. He can't bring himself to get rid of it though, he feels that it'd be strange knowing they're no longer around. Starscream feels he's surrounded by too many reminders of SDW, even if the resemblance isn't there.
They both refuse to remove whatever makes them think of the other or try to call each other again to speak because it'll only end up a disaster like always —it's better this way. Right?
Writing a head-banging miscommunication plot is my speciality when it comes to soundstar (Read: I'm also banging my head because of them but at least I'm ahead of the game, the game being them interacting peacefully for once after 40k words of screaming: WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS BABES PLS)
this is basically me writing my current WIP for SoundStar or anything related to writing basically, my process is truly just:
me: *squinting at the screen* Now why are you guys throwing tomatoes at each other... *goes back to typing so scene includes more tomato throwing and giggles*
when fanfic authors say that they don’t decide what happens in the story that the characters make the decisions i imagine it like this:
writer: *sitting down* type type type type *squinting at the screen* type type type
writer: *gasp* WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT…… type type type
Yk, Starscream should be taller than Soundwave...if you compare a fighter jet and a cassette player, the former is usually bigger... but... it's like... yeah, that's about it!! As for why I believe/write ES Starscream in particularly to be noticeably taller than ES Soundwave? Well... because I can 🙂↕️
Typical soundstar family squables. Starscream boasts how awesome he is because he can fly, and then Soundwave hits him with a logic beam (bullying). And then Laserbeak helps by joining in with the bullying!! Girl, can't catch a break! He's literally (and practically) carrying the whole family/army too 🙄
SW giggling at her dumb husband and precious child TOO, LOOK!!
💔 Shes so forgetful omg (unless they switched paint...then shes not)
This is how I imagine Soundwave handles Starscream when he's being difficult, it only works to a varying degree of success and depends on the universe 🤣
This one in specific is probably TFP and G1 given how their relationships span out in my writing on ao3
Though I could always argue that if ES Soundwave said down, ES Starscream would get down immediately and shut up (a mad wife is not to be messed with haha)
But seriously, you two should be proper adults and communicate instead of doing this. i'm sure once the shock of realizing what happened passes, they will and make up from whatever argument it was. But the seekers (TC, Skywarp, Nova Storm) will never let Starscream live this down (he lost the, 'no, i'm not whipped by Soundwave' argument in a sparkbeat)
---
like Starscream was probably arguing with Soundwave over something dumb (theyre married by now) and the girls are like, "ur not gonna grovel?!"
Starscream: ????? I HAVE PRIDE, THANK YOU-
Soundwave: GET DOWN NOW!!!
Starscream on his knees before he even realizes what happened and groveling
Soundwave: "…"
the girls: "…."
Starscream: "...." (he is as shocked as everyone else and confused why he's on the ground for soundwave, but if he runs now, then it's worse and soundwave will be more mad)
Megatron's stupid high commands:
Based on this:
The way this is me right now, I accidentally started another SoundStar draft today after reading more SoundStar on ao3...I have *starts counting* 20+ SoundStar WIPS...I need to organize my brain
very ES Soundwave...very bird....very someone come over to pick up your owl!? (Starscream come over)
"At least one of us is having fun, don't you think?"
I'm sorry but I was listening to Caravan Palace mix loop for a solid hour and my mind decided that uhm, yeah well... this?
Previous soundstar stuff here here and here ✨
ES SoundStar are very bird coded to me...and I think alot about that. 🙂↕️🤧 (ignore how crows and owls have perm rivalry) (my friend also said it makes sense bc why else does Starscream keep building nests (in my au) -> Soundwave get to work!)
The way all my SoundStars are different yet similar in all universes bothers me sometimes but I also love talking/being asked about them at the same time
Meanwhile: Tfp SoundStar is rather avion-bug v. lizard coded in comparison
TFP Starscream really really looks like a secretary bird with his crest/spikiness + the way he kicks his legs in the show lmao
Though: g1 SoundStar is super cat on all fronts in terms of personality and dynamics, IDW SoundStar is probably a good mix of all previous attributes with some minute differences. But again these are all based off of my previous writings and personal hcs and subject to change as I go or write lol
Bonus fact: my IDW Soundwave speaks German; he really only has ever used it to insult Starscream though lol at least post-war, it makes for some fun scenarios (like calling mr supreme leader a brat or a little-)
I think one day I would love to throw all my current SoundStars into a game show and let them duke it out to prove who knows their SO better, and the slow realization of how different everyone is and why would be the main kicker...
Everyone is baffled at ES Starscream for example over certain dynamics and methods of getting together, TFP is made fun of meanwhile for his general incompetence and IDW for well his committal of tax fraud of all things...😭 like really!? SG Starscream is too honest when he hears all the parallel counterparts talk and it gets him in trouble; they're all melodramatic, but he's the only one willing to admit it to the show hosts (IDW Thundercracker and ES Thundercracker) TF one wants someone to take him out of here rn, RN!!
I kinda have an idea how old all of them would be as well in terms of written development or where they swim in my brain like little sardines stuck in a tank
ES and TFP are the eldest (debatable who older than who), but I think TF one is right after and then it's whoever after that (prob IDW -> SG -> g1)
At least all the Soundwaves' find it easier to get along (ignore they're getting ideas on how to handle their respective Starscreams' as well, minus SG Soundwave, he's still processing half of what these guys have done or where things have been done and how LOL) (like wdym that guy over there can be maneuvered like that!...?)
Also: Soundwave is super/overall very corviknight coded according to @sparkybot (I see it tbh)
g1 Cat Starscream if ES Soundwave got his servos on the little guy
came home drunk last night and got way too excited to see my cat
This is how I imagine Soundwave and Starscream are in every universe they exist into
ship dynamic i really like
quick soundstar because I'm going insane
Show me how it begins. Great. Now show me how it ends.
trick or treat can i get some starsound please 🥺
Of course, Happy Halloween! 🍬
Their on their way to Cybertronian Wendy's
