my text disappeared here when i posted. what happened

[peace-hunter]

tfone au where OP is created as the last of the primes but way after them, a sparkling born at what were thought to be the last days of the war against the quintessons, the beginning of a new generation of peace after eons of war. a child meant to be loved and raised knowing nothing of war nor sacrifice.

he's kept mostly out of the spotlight by his siblings, who don't wish to expose him to everyone's optics so young, and want to wait until the war is done and over to properly introduce him to their people.

except of course the primes are betrayed and murdered by sentinel, the war is lost and everyone who knows and cared for the truth is either banished or outright killed in order to suppress it.

and the high guard, the ones the primes trusted the most, the ones that were supposed to protect them, the ones who failed in their most important duty, have to make a choice. to take the last prime, their last hope, with them to the surface, a hostile environment where there's little to no supplies and where they'll be hunted down by both sentinel and the quintessons as the biggest threat to their regimen.

or hide him in plain sight. place him where sentinel won't think to look for him. one more sparkling among many. and hope it will be enough to keep him alive. pray to primus that he'll protect his last child long enough for them to come back for him when it's safer (even if most of them have already lost their faith on him when he allowed the rest of his children to be massacred like that)

they almost lose their resolve when they realize they will have to take the little one's cog away in order to make him blend in with the rest of the newborns (and oh do they burn with murderous intent when they see what sentinel has done to their people but it's not the time yet-) but in the end they decide an impaired little prime is better than a dead one.

and so in the chaos of thirteen dead primes and a sudden energon crisis, a little sparkling who very few mechs really knew about and even fewer had seen completely vanishes. and in the depths of iacon a mech in charge of a new batch of newborns scratches their helm in confusion as they realize they must have miscounted the first time.

optimus prime is quietly erased from any official records by sentinel, written off as dead when they find a sparkling's frame mangled beyond recognition after an attack on the base of those rebels that insist on being a thorn on his side. killing the sparkling hadn't been precisely in his plans, he probably could've found some use for it after all, but he's not particularly upset about it either.

and orion pax grows up with an ache on his spark that tells him he's missing something far more important than a t-cog and dreams of gentle and loving hands, cradling him against the frames of mechs he cannot recall the faces of.

I mentioned to a friend I’m lending Gideon the ninth to that in Nona there is a chapter called the Tower Princes. And that that was not a spoiler because she could not possibly guess who they are or why.

Her guess? Jesus Christ and a small sickly Victorian boy.

She has no idea how correct she was and I’m dying.

hear me out hear me out hear me out Gojo's head is still intact, so all we need is Yuta to use rct and he'll be fine (i am extremely delusional)

[forgottenkirbyfactz]

forgotten kirby facts 18 - the mages being taken in by hyness as children was actually implied prior to the release of HIAD, in a japanese pause screen about zan partizanne that was heavily altered in the official translation, this later put the translators in trouble as it was referenced in a switch news post, where they had to awkwardly state the information being discussed was "in the japanese version."

(mod note:my best theory on the screen's change is it was an attempt at softening the scene after the fight where he hits her, removing any implication he was any kind of caretaker to her and toning down how much she loves him.)

long story, but i ended my friday by sending my boss an email that essentially says your options are to keep me as an employee or to leave the door open to doing business with aipac, you can't have both. so either i'll be unemployed on monday or my job will be a better place! send good vibes for the better outcome!

[sketchy-tour]

Update on the me again! No art to share but guess who started reading House of Leaves!

I'm only on chapter 2 but man it's got my head turning! And I already know it only gets crazier the further I go in. But man it's so fascinating! Like an ARG in book form! Very fun!

My AP Lit brain from high-school is having a field day lol

kdrama b couples will be like tee hee there's been a minor misunderstanding! we're too awkward to confess our feelings! oh no we like each other and keep bumping into each other but due to prior circumstances we have to ignore our slowly blossoming flirtation! and kdrama a couples will be like Every Day We Experience The Horrors

sorry i'm thinking abt megumi's incessant desire to be the first to die vs. the narrative keeping him alive despite and how the most tragic ending for him is not actually dying, but being left behind. for megumi, the worst fate is living a long life

[queenofbaws]

a detail that DELIGHTED me when first playing the sh2 remake:

how very, very prominent the tanline from james's wedding ring is on his character model

the thought that is driving me to MADNESS tonight:

how very, very prominent the abandoned wedding ring is in the heaven's night lost and found

[demigod-of-the-agni]

Forgive me, forgive me. I ask, I beg, I pray, but it never comes.

You know I find it incredibly bewildering to see just how much kalki reflects myself in him like YEAH Duh of course he does, he’s my little guy it’s like his full time job. But at the same time he is a fully functional facet of my being and he is at the mercy of my whimsies, and whatever he discovers in his arduous journey of self realisation is ultimately a reflection of what I discover in the real world. It’s also incredibly funny because ffxiv lore for dark knights is really baked into the idea of (re)discovering yourself amongst the bloodshed and continuing to live and love and thrive despite the world working against us. who would have thought such a raw message could come from an mmorpg side quest about edgy emo boys of all places

also adamantite armour of fending i would lay down my LIFE for u

variant + phone bg version + ID below the cut

tch as if you guys are actually going to use artwork of my little guy as your phone background. i know. how dumb. let a girl dream. i should make an alternate version but it's of Fray and Myste

[START ID: A picture with a red background focusing on the character's bust that is placed to the left of the image's centre. He is coloured with a dark blue overlay, contrasting with the red background. He has brown skin, long black hair that falls over his shoulders, and is wearing blue and gold armour and earrings. He is looking at the viewer, right eye dark brown and the left an glowing unnatural red, with an expression that looks determined and angry and yet bitter and forlorn. In the foreground and on the right side of the piece, a miniature version of the character stands coloured in a light blue overlay and wearing the same blue and gold armour, looking as if he is glowing. He is facing towards the left of the piece, or perhaps at the character bust, his expression unreadable. Above the miniature character's head is the symbol representing the FFXIV dark knight, coloured in gold. END ID.]
