#When a Prime Falls

I love royalty AUs so much. I love them, but I swear I feel like there isn’t enough of them for transformers. This is a sneak peek into it:
It was beyond difficult to hide the cold dread and rage that had been building over the past few days. Alpha Trion had won, after all these orbital cycles. He’d found a way to dispose of Orion without inciting questions or doubt. He could say it’s for the good of Iacon. He could call it divine will. He could claim a million other things and they would believable. How he had taken these absurd circumstances and twisted them in his favor was a horrid work of art.
Ratchet didn’t understand. How can someone do something so cruel to their own child? How does a parent sell their son to a ruthless mech like Megatron? He supposed it didn’t matter. They had failed. He had failed. Orion was going to be sent away to be a warlord’s toy, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He pinned a proud, golden brooch to the front of his cloak, carefully straightening it. “There,” he said. “What do you think?”
Orion tilted his head, admiring it in the mirror. “It looks like the Matrix,” he said, tracing over the smooth, simplified shape. “Wasn’t this carrier’s?”
Ratchet nodded. “It was. Now, it’s yours.”
“Are you sure it’s okay for me to wear this?”
“I’m sure,” Ratchet replied with a small, bitter-sweet smile. “She wanted to wait until the next Prime was named, but I think it’s important for you to have a piece of her today.”
His optics shone brighter for a moment, pressing a hand against the pin and tracing its shape again. Ratchet felt his chest tighten. Perhaps this was a bad idea after all, but Primus, he couldn’t let this be taken away from Orion.
“Thank you,” he murmured, a wide smile breaking over his face. “It means more than I can express.”
Ironhide appeared in the open doorway, wearing his full uniform— decorated in various statuses and awards. He rested a hand on the holster of his blaster. “Yer Highness? It’s time,” he said.
“Thank you, sir,” he responded. Orion’s servos twisted around themselves as he looked between Ratchet and him. “Um… I’ve just realized, there’s one more thing I need. I’ll be right there.”
“I’ll be outside,” the knight said with a brief bow.
“I wont be long,” Orion promised as Ironhide exited the room.
Ratchet opened his mouth to question what else he needed, but before he could ask, a pair of arms were thrown around him. His optics widened.
“Thank you,” Orion said softly. “For… For everything.”
Ratchet wrapped his arms around him, trying like the pit to hold himself together. He swallowed the hard lump in his throat as he pulled him closer into the embrace. He couldn’t imagine the consequences he would face if he were caught right now, touching Orion. A lowly indentured servant was a lowly indentured servant— even with a namesake like his. “A-Anytime.”
Slowly, Orion pulled away and stood up straight heading for the door.
“Orion?” Ratchet called out before he could stop himself.
“Yes?”
He bit his lip, cursing himself and his weakness. “You’ll make Iacon proud,” he said.
Orion gripped onto the door handle rightly, his audial finials twitching back. He chuckled. “I know I will,” he agreed, looking back at him with a smile. “You taught me how to.”
He sighed deeply as he disappeared down the hall, the door clicking shut.
In that moment, Ratchet’s spark had never burned with such rage and hatred before. It was unfair. Unfair was an understatement, but it was the only word he knew of that could describe even a small sliver of the injustice. Ironhide knew. So did Kup. He had told them, and they were all in agreement. Orion couldn’t know. It would shatter him. No, they couldn’t tell him. Not yet.
He ran a servo down his face, tears welling up in his optics. He had the urge to put his fist through the wall. That smile… Orion hadn’t smiled like that in a decacycle. He was the happiest he’d been in so long, and had no idea it wouldn’t last. He thought his sire’s intentions were genuine. He didn’t know the truth.
However selfish it was, Ratchet wished he hadn’t fostered such kindness in him. Such hope. Maybe it would have saved him from this pain…
He sat down heavily on the chaise and buried his face in his servos, a silent, shuddering sob escaping him. It was awful, pretending like he was happy for Orion, and feigning hope for him. Ratchet didn’t think it was right to keep him in the dark, but it was merciful. He cared for the young prince too much to let him experience this agony— this helplessness, just waiting to be sold to the mech who threatened to destroy their home. Ratchet didn’t want this dread and despair to torture him. It would only prolong his suffering. It would rob him of this fleeting moment in time where everything was okay. It would be cruel and pointless.
No one could save him from what was coming, but they could shield him. They could give him the one last comfort of blissful ignorance. It was a lie, a bitter one that tortured Ratchet, but it would grant Orion a handful of restful nights, and some time to be happy and hopeful.
Orion needed that. It was possible he’d never have it again.

and you may say to yourself: "my god! what have i done?" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful wife!" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful house!" and you may ask yourself: "well, how did i get here?"
time isn't holding up, time isn't after us, time is a pony ride! (images described in alt text)
#gravity falls#fiddleford mcgucket#LETTING THE [FIDDLEFORD FRI]DAYS GO BY#“sir it's tuesday” i know. my computer has been busted for two weeks so i couldn't post them when i wanted to. just let me have this#again still new to alt text. i like being a little bit silly but let me know if it gets in the way of accessibility#artwork of the damned#uhhhh yeah this is actually something ive kind of wanted to draw for years now#favorite guy + favorite band = prime high-effort meme material#also. for the record. yes i have a mcgucket playlist. yes it has three talking heads songs on it. no none of them are “once in a lifetime”#also also i know that the lyrics in the description are in the wrong order. it's on purpose. i put them backwards for dramatic effect#also also also i'm pretty sure the “time is a pony ride” line is not actually sung on the album version of the track#but if you listen to/watch the live version from “stop making sense” you will hear it!#as well as hear a much more satisfying ending to the song imo. rather than it just fading out it has some really nice vocals#basically the moral of this story is you should watch “stop making sense”#if you made it to the end of the tags: congrats! you win a prize! the prize is permission to reblog this post

Earthspark Megatron looses his memories and reverts to being D16. It's up to Optimus Prime, Dot Malto, and the Terrans to help him get his memories back.
Exactly and I want to hear that little moment when D-16 learns about tge fucking war
But also I'm imagining it is a hard quest, getting his memories back
#maccadam#transformers#tfe megatron#D-16#same guy#tfe optimus prime#tfe dot malto#and the terrans#transformers earthspark#i want to see how he interacts with humans with no memories to fall back on#i want to see how d-16 interacts with the kids while he's just. d-16 at the moment#i want that little moment when they realize they're not talking to the Megatron they've grown to know well#all the little moments

Can we just take a moment to think about the fact that what Voldemort did to the Malfoys was so bad that even though he didn't even kill them and even though Voldemort regularly tortures his followers when he's annoyed, all the Death Eaters know about it and are scared it will happen to them too and see it as a notable and exceptionally bad punishment?
He must've hurt them so much. I mean Lucius still has VISIBLE marks on him even though a lot of time has passed. And all this happened because Draco didn't identify any of the members of the Trio even though he recognized them, thus giving them a window to escape. And he also didn't put up much of a fight when Harry went to take his wand. He had lived with Voldemort in his house for a long time. He knew what he was risking. And he did it anyway.
#Maybe afterwards he regretted it though. After all#everything he has been taught would have primed him to view himself of disgustingly weak for his actions#- for loving Harry#for letting his feelings dictate his actions#for hoping Voldemort could be defeated#for not being able to harm Harry when it's meaningless since surely Voldemort could never fall.#Draco Malfoy meta#Draco Malfoy#drarry#Harry Potter#hp reread#q

No but Astarion wanting to be valued for more than sex and seen for something that's not just sex regardless of who romances him and Wyll wanting a chaste and genuine romance with sincere and committed courtship with no sex regardless of who romances him is insaneeeeee. I know everyone's talked about this before but everytime I stop to think about it I lose my mind. They couldn't be more narratively bound I'm clawing at the bars of my cage
#I put my lengthy tags in a reblog if you want.#And yes ofc Wyll teaching Astarion compassion and Astarion teaching Wyll to value himself and advocate for himself#Make them perfect for each other#But THIS to me is the nail in the coffin (pun intended) of why they are meant for each other#Wyll would not fall for Astarion's seduction attempts he is the only companion who would not give in to having meaningless sex w him#Or if not meaningless sex then immediate sex ykwim#Likewise Wyll's identity as a monster hunter and a chivalrous champion of the people would make him the prime target of Astarion's whims#Because who better to protect a monster but the monster hunter TURNED INTO A MONSTER himself.#Astarion would jump on the chance to use Wyll's devil transformation to his advantage and Wyll is THE ONLY ONE it wouldn't work on.#Wyll may have fallen first but Astarion fell harder than Elturel when he finally realised Wyll is GENUINELY good#And that he GENUINELY does not want sex and does not love Astarion for the possibility of sex#He asks for a fucking dance. He asks for a fucking dance before he ever even entertains the idea of sex. And he is steadfast about it#And astarion would play along with the romance just until he can get Wyll to help him kill Cazador#But would inevitably fall in love with Wyll along the way no matter what because Wyll is just genuine and chaste no matter what#“Wyll is the type of man I used to dream of marrying. When I was 13” he is doomed to fall for Wyll no matter what and he hates it#wyllstarion#Wyll Ravengard#astarion ancunin#bg3 astarion#bg3 wyll#Bloodpact#Coolest fucking ship name ever also. No one does it like them

When a Prime Falls
Ambition is the deadliest of poisons. It’s an unspoken fact. Codex Prime, one of the most beloved rulers in the history of Iacon, mysteriously falls victim to an assassin’s blade. The killer and their motives remained unknown, but they’ve unknowingly set destiny into motion. Rebels and propaganda are creating a perfect storm to rise up in the wake of the tragedy. The threat to those of noble standings are higher than ever, but they are determined to keep the status quo intact. As long as they keep Codex’s secrets hidden, they’ll be untouchable. Unfortunately, such is much easier said than done.
Orion had already accepted his predetermined fate as an ill-fit heir to the Matrix when his world came crashing down. A new destiny is unfolding for the entirety of Cybertron, and he will find himself at the head of it one day. He has much to learn before he is capable of holding such a burden, but he is determined to find the right path. Along the way, he’ll find twisted truths, buried histories, and pieces of himself he didn’t know existed.

Hello everyone, long time since I’ve written anything! I’ve got several unfinished works, but I am determined to finish this one. I’ve been gone for a while for a variety of reasons, mainly because of my home life and because I’ve been busy trying to earn my BA in Creative Writing! I’m an aspiring author, but I know I need more practice writing for an audience and marketing and such if I want to be successful in the publishing industry. Fanfiction is an awesome way for me to practice without any additional costs to myself! This isn’t a first draft for a book that I’m wanting to publish, but if I do publish something you’ll find some similarities lol. I’m going to be releasing the entire fic at once with a few sneak peeks for you guys here and there, just like I would a real book, so stay tuned!
To those who are interested in following me in this endeavor, I’m grateful for your support ❤️

Sonic panics every time that Shadow gets hurt or could have gotten hurt because he's the only person from home that he's got left, I am unwell
#of course he also worries over the friends he's been making in the shatterverses bc that's his nature but#when shadow was falling into the darkness and he couldn't locate him that's the most scared we've seen him in the entire show#it does not escape me that it was right after he saw ghost green hill#and fully came to the realisation that his friends had been erased from existence#sonic prime#sonic prime season 2#not a ship post but tag sonadow if you want#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#sonic prime spoilers#my commentary - sort of meta?#my original post

Okay but in all honesty
It would actually be very funny if tfa Bumblebee had an affair with tfa Blitzwing
#maccadam#transformers#tfa bumblebee#tfa blitzwing#Blitzbee#like#LIKE#MY GUY#the decepticons are almost mythologized in tfa before team prime actually gets to meet them right?#for the longest time everyone but ratchet on that ship literally thought the decepticons were GONE#and yet we see them fall into this almost casual rhythm with team prime#but then#in this situation#bumblebee and Blitzwing take this a step further and end up in a relationship#and when it comes out that bumblebee rizzed up a decepticon so thoroughly that they had an ongoing thing together#it's such a fucking scene#I'm trying to describe what i mean#''if Primus didn't want us to fuck the decepticons he shouldn't have made them this sexy''#their relationship is revealed at the best time (for us) too

My like favorite headcanon pairing is Southern William Wisp and Semi-city boy Dakota btw
#ESPECIALLY if it’s Dakota being confused ab something southern Wills doing#Dakota laughing at Will for his southern tendencies#Dakota trying some sort of southern food Will keeps having and either falling inlove with it or nearly throwing up ovr it#Dakota being in Deadwood and seeing the Wisps home and all their land and FREAKING out#Dakota giggling at Williams pronunciation#Dakota helping Will out in social and public situations cause he’s not used to so much happening#Dakota talking about walking to stores vs Will talking ab how the only big store nearby was like a 15 min drive#Dakota talking ab running from roof to roof and Will being like ‘jfc I mean I could death dive to one if I tried I guess’#sighs#I love them#platonic ghostkicks when they’re literally country boy x city boy#to me. they will always be that to ME#moomins yapping<3#prime defenders#jrwi pd#jrwi#jrwi prime defenders#william wisp#dakota cole#platonic ghostkicks#southern William wisp

love to see viewers acknowledge that Lanfear is manipulative and talk shit about Rand falling for her manipulation and not realizing it, and then one sentence later reveal that they're falling for her manipulation as viewers and don't realize it
#Natasha O'Keeffe doing the Great Lord's work out there manipulating people with her performance who claim to know better#like this isn't only show onlys I'm seeing fall for this#I'm seeing book readers fall for this and complain about why the show is having her act this way#like Hello???? do you think that maybe Ms. Daughter of the Night might actually be lying perhaps#or acting in a way to seem threatening/non-threatening when she doesn't actually feel that way or would do what she's claiming#but would like to manipulate other people into believing she would so they do what she wants#perhaps that is a possibility#wheel of time#wot on prime#wot show spoilers#Lanfear
