I don't know why I keep making these posts since nobody knows what I'm talking about.
Possibly you all will become so confused that you'll have to watch TFA just to see what I'm on about.
So a couple of days ago when I started watching TFA I decided I wasn't going to ship anything, because they were robots and that's wrong and who ships in a kid show anyway, and that kind of thing leads to regrettable robot porn and awful human!TFs drawings that just turn the bots into whatever fashionable cheesecake the artist prefers.
Two days later I would not say no to Prowl/Bumblebee. Their rivalry and contrasting personalities and the fact that Bee blushes when Prowl pounces on him makes me confused - I'm not sure if I want to read fic about them as combative, wrestling sort-of-brothers or a ship with both brotherly love and rivalry.
Neither would I say no to a Ratchet/Arcee AU in which Arcee kept her memories and they're a hilarious old married couple who yell at all those damn whippersnappers with their thrusters and their jetpacks and their Allspark Keys and yet are still adorably affectionate to each other. It'd be just darling, don't even deny it. Because apparently it is not enough for me to ship grumpy old people,I have to ship grumpy old robots too. Why not.
So, you know, just in case you wanted to know what to get me for Christmas.
Yes, I know I could go out to the main fic comm and actually look for some of these things, but the main fic comm is large and scary and full of things I am not prepared to think about yet. Shipping is one thing, but I am just not mentally ready for robot porn.
The funny thing is I said the same thing about Doctor Who fic when I first got into it. Just wait, in three months I'll be drawing horrendously graphic Prowl/Bee and seeing nothing wrong with it, looking back with a chuckle at my quaint prudishness.
Also I may have written Prowl fic. It's gen. I dunno if I'll post it.
