Blackarachnia - Blog Posts

I just think they are really cool 👉👈🥺

I wish I could just properly articulate how much love is a fear for BlackArachnia (tf:s). (CW : Trauma and bad feels)

Seriously, the only song I can use to describe her fear is litterally a song about kidnapping. (“Tag, Your It” - Melanie Martinez)

Finding out she was left for dead by the love of her life was like a gut-wrenching, tearing out of any feelings she ever had. She had been abandoned, the only bot she ever loved, left her for spider-food. How could anyone be that cruel? Did he even care? Shouldn’t he have come back for her, even if it was years later? No. He never did. She became BlackArachnia 17,573 years after her shell had been killed.

In Beasts On Earth!!, she tried every form of method to keep SilverBolt away, to show see never needed such weak and painful feelings, she didn’t need to be betrayed so painfully again. She even ensured he would die from the foraging of killer spiders she planted in his chest, and even then, after he miraculously survived, he took care of the one left he insisted on keeping, and still said he loved her.

Just like Optimus. He didn’t give up on her. Every fight, every hurtful word, every near-death issue. He wanted to be with her.

How is this possible?

Her spark couldn’t calm down in her hardend chassis. Her limbs were not responding to any thought from her processor. Everything was closing in yet falling apart all at the same time. Her vision was darkening and she felt sick from the deepest parts of her spark. It was all too much for her. Why did she have to feel this way? All these stupid emotions and stupid feeling and stupid fragging maximals that had to be so perfect and great and innocent.

"Do you even know what that does to me, Orion? To constantly be met with understanding and patience and…and you?" Her voice cracks slightly, her anger beginning to fray at the edges, revealing the vulnerability beneath. "It's infuriating."

"…Why are you so damned understanding?!" Elita bursts out, her optics flashing with helpless frustration. "Everytime I yell, every time I push, you just…Absorb it!" She slams her hand against the wall, leaving an impression. "It's maddening!"

"It makes me angry! It makes me so angry that I can't even be mad at you properly!" She pauses, her optics flickering rapidly. "You make it impossible to dislike you! You're the most irritatingly decent mech I've ever encountered!"

"…You think I push everyone away because I want to?" Her voice drops dangerously low, a dangerous glint in her optics. "Maybe I just can't stand most mechs. Ever consider that?" She snaps, but there's a hint of vulnerability she can't quite disguise.

"…Why are you still being decent about this?! I'm being a total jerk! Why aren't you yelling?!" Her arms cross tightly over her chest. "I thought you would finally tell me to…To shut up or leave or something!" She finishes in a frustrated shout, her voice echoing off the walls. "But no, you just have to be…You!" She gestures at him in exasperation. "Always so calm and understanding and…Ugh!"

“…I don’t have a sparkling,” she said again, as if trying to convince herself none of this was real. “I don’t love.”

“I can’t believe they became leaders of the factions…Despite what awful cowards they are…” BlackArachnia muttered in tears, her voice just barely heard over the rustling of the tree.

“…That wrech doesn’t deserve the fame he has! He abandoned me, like everyone else always does!” BlackArachnia hissed back at him, her claws scratching harshly at the bark, causing ScatterSpot to cling to SilverBolt’s leg.

“You don’t care! You never could! Just abandon me as well let me crawl back home!” BlackArachnia snarled back, continuing to scratch at the tree.

“…I’m good on my own. I’m strong, indipendant, I don’t need stupid love to make it work! I’m better off on my own! Why can’t you see that?!”

Y'all listened to killer spider by pinnichiop? I'd suggest you do, it really goes well with blackarachnia, apart from the spider allegory

My wife!!

(had to repost cuz it went 'poof')

-> Fun fact, spiders in the genus gasteracantha exhibit biofluorescence, so under any kind of UV lighting her colour scheme would look wildly different!

->Tumblr ate my post... so here it is again!

First, in what is sure to be an extensive series of character redesigns for Blackarachnia.

• Gasteracantha aka spiny orb weaver (more specifically the demon horned orb weaver)

I cannot stress how much I LUV spiders, so if anyone enjoys them as much as I - or even if you just like the concept art - feel free to leave me suggestions of other spider species in the comments. I have a few in mind but wpuld love to hear other thoughts.

RULES & GUIDELINES

Please be respectful of my time. I do work A LOT so there may be days at a time where I go dark. I will respond. Gentle reminders are fine (I am human and do forget) but do not spam me.

As is listed above, this is an adults only blog. Dark themes and adult themes will be covered based on the nature of the muses and I feel it best that minors do not run the risk of being exposed to this.

Anon is currently on... that could change. Use it wisely.

I prefer paragraph styled roleplay, and can get descriptive. While I don't expect people to match me, I do appreciate the same level of effort put into responses.

I usually use smaller formatting for font. However, I am happy to adjust in the event that standard is the preference/needed for you.

Do not self insert or thread hop. All rp interactions must be discussed and approved of by all parties involved.

No godmodding. My DMs are are open for discussion regarding the direction an interaction might go, so please use the correct avenues to plan out scenarios.

The muses are Decepticons (for the most part), so any interactions that you would like to occur onboard their ship or in their base must be discussed beforehand.

No drama, please. I come here to have fun. Additionally, I am not a licensed therapist. We all have our own stuff going on, and while I am deeply empathetic, I can't solve anyone's problems for them (especially when it's someone I've met online).

SHIPPING & INTERACTIONS

I am very open to explore all kinds of ships, both romantic and otherwise, though rp starters and standalone roleplay will be based on chemistry. DM me to discuss. Other interactions (asks/ask prompts/memes/headcanons) are open to all. PLEASE SPECIFY THE MUSE when sending an ask, and note that I will be answering in character (unless the ask is directed at the mun). Some of the muses... are not as kind as others.

**This blog will feature a lot of spider imagery (they are one of my many interests) -- a heads up for anyone with arachnophobia**

Love is Love... Blackarachnia is and always has been my favorite female Transformer. They did her so much justice in War for Cybertron I can’t even begin to express how pleased I am with her character portrayal. And the fact that she’s actively and openly into femmes is just *chefs kiss*. 

[ID: A digital drawing of Elita One and Blackarachnia from Transformers Animated. Blackarachnia is seen from the back, embracing Elita tightly and resting her head on Elita’s shoulder, her face obscured from the viewer. Her spider limbs are folded behind her back, resembling featherless wings. Elita returns the hug reluctantly; her head is slightly lowered as she glares into the distance. Strands of black spider silk stream down from Elita’s eyes, Blackarachnia is pulling at the strands absent-mindedly. A veil of tattered cobwebs falls down Elita’s shoulders and sprawls behind her.

All maximals together!

All maximals together!

Fantastic work!

Days 28 and 29 were Shockwave and Ironhide - though Ironhide is actually my 31st character, because with the two humans I didn’t count I was ahead of myself. 

So, finished!

Thanks to all those that commented, watched, faved and saw this grow through the month : ) If anyone new wants to see the progresses, I tagged them all with #screwsTFAInktober

I haven't been in the Transformers fandom that long but so far this is my experience:

I couldn't come up with anything for the bottom row so it's just completely gone XD

unlike in most other fandoms, surprisingly many wlw ships make sense so it was hard to choose D:

i am very stressed out right now so i drew some low quality nightlights on my phone, based on some rps i did. please accept them
