This work explores various manifestations of bumblebee gravity within the
metric--affine formalism. We investigate the impact of Lorentz violation
parameter, denoted as X, on the modification of the \textit{Hawking}
temperature. Our calculations reveal that as X increases, the values of the
\textit{Hawking} temperature attenuate. To examine the behavior of massless
scalar perturbations, specifically the \textit{quasinormal} modes, we employ
the WKB method. The transmission and reflection coefficients are determined
through our calculations. The outcomes indicate that a stronger
Lorentz--violating parameter results in slower damping oscillations of
gravitational waves. To comprehend the influence of the \textit{quasinormal}
spectrum on time--dependent scattering phenomena, we present a detailed
analysis of scalar perturbations in the time--domain solution. Additionally, we
conduct an investigation on shadows, revealing that larger values of X
correspond to larger shadow radii. Lastly, we explore the concept of time delay
within this framework.Comment: 29 pages and 7 figure
