I was at first concerned why I wasn't blocked only to check it out and realize I already blocked him lmao 😂

(🚑🔫 CW⚠️ ritual sacrifice, virgin sacrifice—not Ratty tho lol, demons)

Every few vorns there was a ceremony held in Iacon. A sacrificial rite where a mortal, specifically a virgin, got sacrificed for the sake of keeping the city safe for another few vorns. It was to appease a demon. +

Not yet, I'm kinda picky with how I spend my time cuz I don't want to feel like I'm wasting it away, and I know I didn't like the first episode of tfp the first time I gave it a try so... 🫠 haven't gotten around to it lol

DL blows everyone out of the water regardless of how good they were or how bad 🤭 he was definitely keeping an eye on Ratchet the entire time and collecting lil details on what he liked and didn't, and then used it all against Ratchet to make him crumble in DL's servos 😌

Oh he looks regal 👀 now that is a cool outfit to put him in for this particular au (or to at least inspire it)

Lmao right?! Like Ratchet didn't give all the instructions throughout the entire birth lol 😂

It's really neat seeing established SFW artists opening up to making more indulgent stuff, but god it's so tiring seeing the influx of followers being shocked an appalled that they would even CONSIDER "joining the dark side"

That medic got cracked so good he was probably drooling and so deep in subspace it took days to being him out of it 🤭

And then a massive shock when DL made it clear he had every intention of keeping Ratchet 🥰 not just for a quick frag, but forever.

Lmao Ratchet was so very unawares of just how wrong he was 🤭

And Deadlock wasn't going to let something as stupid and trivial as age old traditions stand in his way of attaining what he'd long known was going to be his.

Rare was it that it was for something as deep as love.

Lucky for Ratchet, he had unknowingly saved a young demon from the brink of death once. That demon had never forgotten him and his obsession with Ratchet had only grown until he got the chance to be the demon for the sacrificial ceremony. +

What the mortal mechs of Iacon didn't know was that it wasn't one demon that showed up during the ritual. It was a different one each time. Rare was it one showed up twice tho it did happen.

Mostly the demons only did it for a quick fun. Sometimes to take a mortal frag toy, sometimes for more. +

Glowing handprints that the rest of the markings light up.

"You," a voice purred darkly in his audial, making Ratchet shiver.

"I'm not sealed," Ratchet responded back as if on automatics.

The voice chuckled before Ratchet felt a smirk against his cheek. "I don't care." +

He wasn't a virgin by a long shot. Wasn't a single port unused and he wasn't ashamed of it, plus everyone knew it, yet everyone could also now see that he had just been chosen.

Strong servos landed on his pauldrons, large and invisible to everyone else except for the marks they left behind. +

What the Pits, right? Might be a good excuse to get drunk and find someone adventurous to spent the night with. Maybe even two, if he was lucky.

But the ceremony didn't go as expected. None of the selected virgins were ever chosen, and instead Ratchet stiffen when his frame lit up in patterns. +

But most of all, boring as pits. Stand and watch some poor spark give away their life for peace and safety?

Sounded like the start of a depressive episode, not a huge celebration that he knew would follow knowing they were safe for another few vorns.

But Wheeljack insisted he come. +

The ritual where they chose the sacrifice using guidance from the demon. A handpicked few virgins were chosen to stand before the altar and wait for the demon to choose them, at which point they would be whisked away to rarely ever be seen again.

Ratchet thought it was barbaric. +

Many young mechs worried about it and their own morality of giving away their seals early just to avoid being selected. Not Ratchet tho. He knew for sure he wasn't being chosen. He hadn't had a seal for a long, long time and everyone knew it.

Yet, Wheeljack still dragged him to the selection rite.+

I just realized how funny it is they did this in Ratchet's room lmao

a cat is peeking out from under a blanket on a bed ALT: a cat is peeking out from under a blanket on a bed

Just woke up from a 2 hour nap I didn't intend to take and this is how I feel right now lol

He got Ratchet's height, and then I shrunk him some more just to make it more accurate 🥰 he's such a lil patootie 🖤

Fixed his face tho lol will probably go back and tune most of the Miis face paint at some point but right now I don't have the energy

Lmao 😆 I can't get the image of a baby Ratchet running around covered in suds now 🤣

First Aid baby!!!! And man, Drift's genes didn't even try 😆 At least the vamp fangs passed on lol

Won't be as illogical once he gets a taste of that Blurrussy 😏

Lmao I'm can just hear the conversation between Ratchet and Wheeljack as Jackie fixes Ratchet's berth the fifth time that week 🤭

And eyo 👀 Shockwave would rock a robe tho. Ans yes, I can totally see that! Which is why it's so sinful that he lasts after the local street performer Blurr 😈

No idea what I want to do with this yet, but man, the worms be worming 🤭

And yes, this may or may not be an excuse to throw a defiled virgin, sacrilege and forbidden first time trope at Dratchet 😏

I have no idea where I'm going with this, but hear me out ok?

Holy Healer Ratchet who's sworn to a life of healing and (for some reason) celibacy and either criminal rogue Deadlock or Knight with a shady past Drift, all nicely cooked together with a fine dosage of forbidden love and secret affair 😏

He would 😌 would hold her up along with his dog and gush all over her. He'd be a great step-sire 🥰
