I feel like he's formed that parental figure to his team even though they are almost all the same age they still look up to him.
And then you have Starscream with his abusive dad being the only thing he's ever known. He may have stared a bit to long whenever Optimus would show affection or simple respect and care to his team cause those concepts are out of reach for him. So when he finally goes to the autobots.
He can't fit in. But Optimus isn't beating him up to the brink of death or blaming him for something out of his control or that he isn't doing things right.
And at this point Starscream realises he was taken in by the wrong brother.
And I feel like this is a good point on why Starscream cared so much about Optimus when he joined the decepticons again. Cause he finally got a taste of a true father and he does cherish it.
And on Optimus' side he saw how his brother treated Starscream but not all of it or the fact that Starscream had never had anyone else or how young he is or was. So when he joined he started to realise these things but instead of pressuring it all out of him to talk he simply became what Starscream lacked his whole life knowing that the former wouldn't work on Starscream. He thinks action speak louder than words yet words are still needed. Starscream also has that ideology but instead in the way of longing for it. Along the way he does see Starscream as a son.
But things don't last forever, it didn't even last long enough to start.
Starscream: "Got in trouble for apparently being disrespectful to my elders and teachers.
They kept on blabbering about my attitude and how I was wrong and should apologise.
Like yes I am disrespecting cause I have no respect for that guy. Fuck you want me to do lie. From what I know that's bad.
So am I the asshole? Yes but I'm right so I ain't"
I have this little headcanon that sometimes some of Starscream's limbs just randomly fall of cause there's only so much one can endure without their body completely failing. And due to the extensive damage he can't feel it so he doesn't realise.
Like he's trying to act cool posing and all and then clank he's arm is on the floor.
I thought that if Megatron isn't the reason why he is like this then it was something in the past and it really correlates with his personality for me. This is like my little au hopefully will make some memes on it in the future also this isn't inspired by someone else so if there is someone out there who has done this ig great minds think alike.
If you can't read some words ( neither can I 😢) just comment or smt else I'm too lazy to do it here.
And Tumblr keeps blurring the pictures man I might try and see if I can get a better pic on. Edit nvm it was when I was typing this it was blurry but ig when you post it unblurs or smt
(Me completely lost on who's dead or not) Sigma is 100 percent alive frfr. Try not to mind the abnoxious highlighter colouring in the first pic okay they were all I had.
Me explaining Armada Starscream and Megatron being the biggest version of how they are like a father and son but obviously abusive.
My Dad: They should get married.
Me: Did you not hear what I said. First of all I was saying how Megatron is like an abusive adoptive father. And it's really abusive. What?
Dad: Yeah they should get married and kiss.
Me in utter horror trying to change the subject away: So you know Soundwave he's my second favouri---
Dad: He's their son whose spoilt.
And I'm currently choking on air and I tried changing the subject again: You know Starscream has heels
Dad: No he doesn't
And then I show him and he goes: So he is definitely the wife. -or SMT
So yeah my dad ships megastar or megstar idk and somewhere in the relationship he did agree with it being toxic but ig he likes it. But he also calls them both chickens.
I don't agree with this the only time I interact with the ship is if Starscream looks really nice in the drawing which is unfortunately a lot cause ppl draw too good to not like
little piece of a little project that I'm finishing up. I predicted so much in Skybound about starscream like how he really was innocent and ig that doesn't seem like much but I also said he wouldn't even hurt a bug and guess what it was a major thing in his backstory. I also knew that Megatron had somehow forced him to kill didn't know exactly but yeah it would be an innocent or against codes. And guess what again, it happens. So I'm predicting a redemption arc (I'm coping okay) that he gets some crazy bpd as Megatron's hold on his mind gets erased or whatever that was and you have ulchtar and starscream and ulchtar wins or smt and starscream gets to see how the world actually works and happily ever after and ain't nobody going to see this.
Washing machine heart by Mitski but it's Starscream looking at Megatron being forgiven and redeemed and treating everyone else nicely.
Whilst he's called unredeemable and will never get an apology.
Like it's all I see at the 'why not me?' bits. And at the end I see it as him being in bed(berth?) and hyperventilating in desperation but also throwing something at the walls in anger.
this is hopefully gonna be art that's a part of my au but either way it's baby starscream.
When I tell you I barely draw digitally especially since I'm using the ultimate combo of finger and a phone but I wanted to try.
I do in fact have a scene that's playing in my head for this drawing but I don't know how to get it out you know.
I'll probably post some old art or smt for a little bit.
Soundwave and Starscream are just standing side by side in the nemesis whilst Megatron is talking about a new plan to destroy the autobots.
Starscream to us: Now you want to know why Soundy is standing right next to me. And no it's not cause we are supposed to. Listen hear and don't tell anyone I told you this or otherwise I'll be banned from the 4th wall. This guy right here can read minds but only at a close proximity like we are in now. See the producers have never made it clear, those lazy afts, I really hate their fleshy guts.
And then you slowly see Soundwave facing Starscream with absolute horror.
And after a whole minute Starscream goes: Wait if he can read minds. And I just broke the 4th wall. And the scene didn't pause. And he's standing right next to me. And he always reads my mind that means. Oh frag.
But during this part the scene did freeze so Soundwave didn't hear that part. Starscream is hyperventilating worried he'll be experimented with.
Soundwave is concerned. Cause he thinks starscream has gone full schizophrenic mode and not half anymore.
Head empty just the thought of Starscream being so bored that he starts to go through almost all of earth's music. And then when he finally finds songs and genres that he likes he slowly starts to also have favourite artists. (Soundwave is aware of this new thing Starscream has going on but he thinks that he's gonna sabotage Megatron with music somehow but he can't figure out how)
And of course anything Starscream likes is automatically better than the rest. So when decepticons plan to attack some festivals (due to G1 shenanigans it's probably super normal for it to be a weekly occurrence), Starscream will already know if any artist that he likes is going to be there (he always keeps tabs on their activity and tours). So if they aren't, then okay no problem but if they are he's a hundred percent snitching to the autobots. Something like
Megatron: We must enforce fear onto the humans! We'll attack them at their places of joy -insert stadium or something-
Starscream internally: Wait that's where -random band- is going to have their first performance in 5 years. I've counted each second down to this very performance I can't let Megabum ruin this glorious moment for me.
At the Autobots base
Optimus Prime: Autobots I have called you here due to this anonymous message we have received about some Decepticon activity that's apparently taking place soon
Pops it on the screen
Jazz reading what it says: Megaglitch- yeah it's definitely Starscream who sent that, not really anonymous anymore. But why would he tell us this, it's not like him to care about human activity unless it's a plan to kill Megatron for the gazillionth time
Cliffjumper: Probably an artist that he likes is playing there, I mean there's this band that hasn't performed in 5 years playing there that I like, was hoping to go watch it anyway
Prowl: I highly doubt that that's the reason, we all know Starscream is not one to like anything that's from organics
Cliffjumper: Hey I know my kid (-cliffjumper is his papa I don't care talk to the wall-) better than you all and I know it has to be because of that. Hopefully the few good characteristics he has left from me means that it's also about the same band that I'm thinking about.
Ratchet: What do you mean 'my k----
Jazz: Dude total lore drop right there tell more later. But shouldn't we be going now
Optimus: It is decided. Autobots roll out!
After the confrontation there's now a video of the bands performance with giant robots fighting in the background being spread by the internet to the point everybody now knows the band
Cliffjumper messaging Starscream: Son have you seen it
Starscream: Seen what autodork
Cliffjumper: If you were here I would have grounded you (literally) but I'm to excited. WE'RE IN THE MUSIC VIDEO
Starscream let's out the loudest scream of joy which has now awoken unicron
Yeah idk I'm sick. Thought it was funny. Probs won't be when I'm better. You can rip cliff and star papa and son duo from my dead, decaying, cold hands cause I love it now so much even though it was just a crack little thing I thought of randomly when I was bored
Read rags they are going to be funny.
Hopefully
To the few people who like this cliff and star dynamics. I like you. You have great taste.
Teenage girl and I like- marvel, DC , transformers Jurassic park (dinosaurs in general), Star warsAnd others. Basically a huge nerd ig
