Guys I'm Seeing Improvement In My Art I'm So Happy. Little Steps You Know

Starscream trying to redeem himself song

I'm sorry but man the lyrics are really like Starscream actually trying to make amends but due to his self destructive tendencies he keeps failing. He also wants everyone to know he is actually wanting to change but doesn't know how to.

"I swear, I will die trying" literally cannon because everytime he has changed or become a hero he dies, straight away sometimes.

"I'm not a good person, I'm bearly a person at all" cannon cause I say so and let me explain. He knows he's an asshole and sometimes he purposely acts like one for reasons. And in some of the darkest versions of Megatron's and Starscream's relationship he is quite literally a slave to Megatron and a "whipping boy" actual quote from Starscream and it makes me sick.

Headcanon time -and Megatron making an appearance

He's so frustrating I can't.

So I think that due to his spark being immortal/indestructible he has this natural fear of death. Even though he doesn't know he is immortal his body or even his mind(subconsciously or his spark) controls him when in some situations that could get him killed as he will still feel the pain of death but have to live through it over and over so it ,and in terms he, will do anything to escape that fate without realising why. And even though like "fear of death no shit" I feel like it's something that would suffocate him at the mere thought of it and he doesn't know why. Basically you get the fear and times it by a billion. This could explain why he acts so unlike himself in certain situations.

Like imagine him having full breakdowns cause he thought of ways he could die too much due to his paranoia and it physically and mentally burns as his spark will do *anything* to stop the possibility. Also could be seen as a defense mechanism, if they don't kill you how will they know they can do it again to hurt you more. Especially with Megatron cause I think he would be the reason it gets worse throughout the war as Starscream knows Megatron wants to hurt him not just kill him so when you take out the factor of death. Megatron can do whatever he wants. But Starscream isn't even aware of all this even though the affects of it are taking over his life.

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

What Strength Really Means 💪

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

We as a society don't talk about Starscream calling cliffjumper papa in that one G1 episode enough.

Heck I'll even try to learn how to write a story out of this.

Short as hell dad and their tall ass son is my new favourite trope now.

Not even a trope I'm making this up with 4h sleep all week so I'll probably make a crack meme of this. If I remember. I'll probably not even remember writing this. (By not even a trope I just mean not exactly common in media and if it is they are like background characters not in rl)

Optimus is like a cool and amazing uncle in Armada.

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.

Shockwave and soundwave are now added to my au (check out the other post if you've only seen this one pls)

This is surprisingly my first time drawing bots that aren't Starscream even though soundwave is my second favourite.

This took longer to post especially due to it being the work day's but I still got it done 👍🏻.

On the last drawings I tried to at least make it look like there are flames near them with the orange and red but that could use extra work.

I'm trying to see what design I should stick with cause there'll be changes from the original designs.

Thanks for the 24 likes on the last post did even better than the previous one.

I have more to give on Shockwave and Soundwave but that may not be the next post.

Me when I finally draw again for a week.

School is a pain and tests are worse but I have this guy to keep me going (he's telling me to kms(he's not even real I'm imagining things)

Redraw of the animated drawings with water colours.

Galaxy Force Starscream the lovable tragic asshole you are. I had to squish his face cause either made it too big. First time drawing him and those lips do not disappoint.

Water colour pens are good but I just can't use them properly without leaving marks making it look ugly.

Our goal was survival, but now survival defines our existence! 🇵🇸🍉

Please don’t rush through this text, read it carefully:

We are living in extremely harsh conditions, where our tent has been severely damaged and no longer provides the necessary protection.

The cost of building a new tent right now is about 1000 euros, and it is an essential shelter for our family, which is suffering from difficult living conditions.

We also face a severe shortage of food, especially basic items like flour, which has now reached 100 euros. Securing daily food would help improve these conditions.

My brother Samer is suffering from the absence of essential medications for stabilizing his health, and their cost is extremely high.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who has supported my campaign and contributed to alleviating my family’s suffering during these tough times.
