Oh man I didn’t even see this, whoops
I believe it’s an old G1 fandom ship from like, jeez almost 15 years ago? There is literally nothing canonically supporting it if that’s what you mean.
It stems from how the con and autobot combiners are almost mirrors of each other, with defensor and bruticus being like, probably the most obvious example. Their teams have the same bones but their core philosophies drive the actual combination to v different places if that makes sense.
Onslaughts leadership is extremely vertical, Hot Spot is a summer camp counsellor. Streetwise and Swindle are both smooth-talking ‘thumb on the pulse’ guys but Swindle is a dickhead. Blast Off is a snobby bourgeois elitist, Blades rolls around in the dirt for fun. Brawl is Brawl. Groove smokes weed.
Tex and Aid are… VERY mirrored (derogatory). Even if you don’t take them to the intense extreme of Tex being a really awful guy and Aid being sacrosanct it’s pretty easy to get an interesting dynamic. There’s a lot of good, older fics that explore the problems you get when you try and ‘fix’ someone you love, or being ashamed of who you’re with, or what it’s like to be hopelessly attracted to a bad fit, or horrified at the parts of yourself you ‘lose’ when you fall for someone who’s very different from you… it’s good! A lot of it is quite a tough read but it’s good.
My ‘’’personal’’’ take (bless, there’s nothing in canon so you can just make shit up) is softer but still a bit rough around the edges. I like narratives about people who love each other but resent how it makes them feel weak, or out of control.
They’re both empathetic in their own ways; Tex is an interrogator, his job is to frighten and intimidate, and Aid is a soother. They’re almost a perfect fit with that context. They can also both ‘read’ each other, and Tex can probably tell he’s got the undesirable end of the stick. He’s not exactly a catch, and that can make someone bitter and resentful when they become aware of it. Aid isn’t perfect either; thinking ‘oh god what am I doing?’ is an ugly thing to think about someone you love, and they Can Usually Tell. Despite that? It’s worth it, it’s worth the struggle! It’s worth losing bits of yourself for another person if you love them and that’s the finish line 4 me with my stories.
Thank u for listening to my soppy Texaid TED talk xvhsgxj

hi dude! I wanted to inform you that a person made a hate account of your art on rednote where they repost your art with hate comments. I'm sorry to be the messenger of bad news but I thought I should let you know after a friend let me know about this! If anyone sees this I hope you can mass report this person. Have a good day and I'm sorry this is happening
Today’s been kind of a fucking bummer, huh?
based off x , vortex doesn't have 750 000 shanix but he also knows for a fact that the Stunticons cannot read
Anonymous asked:
So like... who's the person stealing your designs? Have you asked them to cut it out? They don't deserve to be profiting off your work. Had no idea this was happening :(
I appreciate yall coming to my defence like this but i’m not gonna name names and would appreciate some restraint on y’all’s behalf.
Like A) Any punitive retaliation against fandom design/style theft will always be worse for the community than just letting them be. While I had expected and hoped for better, the worst thing i’ll do is slam the door on my way out, I certainly don’t want people using my anger to start a witch hunt.
B) Unfortunately we’ve seen what this fandom will do when someone with an audience sics their followers onto an art thief. It’s not pretty, I won’t be party to it, and I might be upset but i’m not too upset to know i’m better than that.
C) I feel like I made my point already LOL like attaching my bitchy vent to 5 pages of texaid comic is a pretty pointed cunty move and i’m at peace with it being my closing statement.
