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 talk a lot <3#transformers#transformers one#optimus prime#orion pax#baby prime orion au#this is mostly an excuse for me to draw the primes and baby OP later on. just to be clear.#i WILL be drawing this at some point lmao#tbh i'm a little uncertain how i want things to progress#because on one hand it would be very tasty and tense if sentinel recognized optimus during the race#but that means a lot of changes very early on in the plot and i would have to do a lot of Thinking on how to justify getting the gang#to still pick up bee and elita. cause i love them <3#i do think it'd be very funny if the high guard's plan worked like a charm except for the very tiny fact that they didn't count#on orion being an absolute hellion. like. this kid is Not Going Unnoticed and it's completely his own fault lmao#in this version maybe a member of the high guard stayed behind to keep an eye on orion and is able to get them out before they're killed#but instead of taking them to where the primes fell they take them directly to the high guard#which is very awkward because it's a very moving and emotional moment for the high guard who are finally reunited with their little prime#all grown up and healthy and blessedly *alive*. except orion doesn't fucking remember any of them and is very confused as to why#the legendary warriors of cybertron are getting all weepy over him. they finally explain the truth to him which is a Fucking Bomb#to drop on anyone but especially a group of kids who almost got killed by the person they all thought the world of just hours ago#they also return orion's t-cog to him which would create some tension between him and the rest of the gang because this time#he's the only one getting his cog back. add to it that they were just told he's the equivalent of a demi-god and... well.#there's a gap between him and them that wasn't there before#on the other version of events that follows canon more closely everything goes the same up until the gang finds the primes in the cave#and wake up alpha trion who now not only has to deal with the fact the rest of his siblings are dead but that he missed fifty cycles#of his baby brother's life. that the only sibling he has left does not remember him or his true identity at all.#he has to choose between telling him the truth which has the risk of unbalancing him in a critical moment where he cannot afford to#be distracted because they're being hunted down. or let him remain unaware. let him forget their family and the love they had for him#but letting him remain free of the knowledge of what he lost and the heartbreak it would bring.

do you have youtube channel?
technically yes, but I just use it to host unlisted videos for embedding, so there's nothing, like, public on it. :') sorry! I basically don't post anywhere except here and occasionally on pixiv (in case it's not obvious, I suck at social media).
#god help me if i ever have to rely on it as a career because i will immediately die#i like being in one place where people can follow or block as they choose and not have to keep blocking me everywhere#fediverse seems like it would be ideal for that but i haven't seen any that have the thing that i really like about tumblr#which is that tags can work both as a cloud (like if i tag something as 'art' it shows up in the tag feed for 'art)#and also isolated (if you come to my blog and click the 'art' tag you can see only my posts tagged 'art')#(if there's a term for that i do not know it)#i might just be missing if there are any like that though#the people who i tend to look to for this kinda thing are mostly interested in straight-up twitter clones#which is...let's say less than ideal for posting art or organizing anything#so at this point if tumblr goes down i'll probably just take it as a sign to quit social media entirely ( į )#(my apologies i did not mean for this to turn into a tag novella)

Rules: Without naming them, post a gif of ten of your favourite ships (any media), then tag ten people to do the same.
Tagged by: @battlecouplesoulmates thank you that was soooo hard to choose the gifs :P Also I do not gif all my ships but almost all of them. Please guys talk to me about those ships.
Tagging: Honestly anyone who wants to do it ;)
Alsoooo ... Who said 10 ? :D Not me. They're totally in no specific order but know XWP is always first and Rizzles/Shoot is always second. I grew up with them so they have to be.
Also do you know them all ? If not please ask I'm feral about them.
#Know that it is hard for me not to tag them :D#Some are very old gifs so sorry about the quality. But hey it means I got better ^^#Soooooo I didn't gif Bering & Wells ??? Mark me confused#No I definitely did ... but it's perhaps in the choking gifset of another ship haha#Let's not forget Trishica#Or even princess rover and lyretria#Brittana love you#Also sorry to freelin#Sorry Siuanraine too#I can't put absolutely everyone#I spent way too long choosing my gifs#well when you have 1500 shoot gifs and way too many avalance ones ... you can only choose a file at random after a while :D#I think I may have forgotten a lot of ships but oh well I could only have 10 and I have already more#God I barely giffed sq ...#Also if you guys are reading this ... I swear I'll def finish the major gif trend I wanted to do for a certain number of followers ...#It's just it takes so long and is really hard to do i don't have the motivation to finish but I will !

oh!! oh also

IF CONSIDERING THE BUDGET/WARDROBE CHOICES OF MR CHONNATHAN JASHINGTON, uhhh I think maybe the Jayden Wark Power Hour could maybe look like this in MVs maybe. still dunno if he has a vest. or that he would put lil heart details on his face, he doesn't normally do that so eeeeeeeh but yeah. feel like we're missing a bit though, gonna try to push it a bit further with what he's worn in the past as reference

figuring out other things in the meantime as well!! i mostly doodle in my sketchbook at my outpatient program where we're not allowed to use our phones (for obvious reasons) so I may not have all the info I need. shit I should do this at home too dhhxjc explodes BUT I'M BUSY WITH. The other thing GAHHHH
#nibbleton's dumb art#btw the tracklist seen is NOT final. god I'm trying to choose whether or not to include one of the ww covers cause like#it's what he's most known for and it'd be silly#BUT it feels kinda disrespectful? like that'd be like me making my own chonny jash power hour and covering TSE.#like it's. It's a cover of a cover in what is supposed to be a sorta celebration of that one artistā not another??#but it is an important part of his journey and ohhhh fucking hell#i think I may just go with everything we know or what's in his head for the last track instead GOD I WANT TO USE THE VISION IS DEAD#BUT IT DOESN'T FIT THE POWER HOUR PATTERN. IT NEEDS TO END WITH ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR TRACKS AKA THE WW COVERS. or wihh or still#fuckkkk#we are using supernal standstill songs btw that could take up space in the second or fourth slot following the pattern#I'll figure it out

I'm slowly making my way through a new project- editing the entirety of the album PUNCH by Autoheart to the Life Series.
I was originally planning to post all of the edits in order of the songs on the album, but I instead made the Lent one first and am too excited to keep it in my drafts any longer while I work on the first four songs of the album (especially since we're coming up on finals seasons and the amount of time I'll have to work on these is gonna plummet so fast). So instead, I'll be posting them as I make them and make a masterpost of them all in order at the end.
That being said, I hope you enjoy this! I'm really proud of it and a lot of work went into it.
#life series smp#trafficblr#third life smp#last life smp#double life smp#limited life smp#goodtimeswithscar#grian#desert duo#autoheart/life series project#my edits#my art#everyone has to be so nice to me about the audio desync-ing in some places it does that whenever i export it and i can't fix it </3#i COULD tag this one as ship but im not gonna#i DO mean it like that. but like it's just canon clips it can be read however you so choose#also if youve been following me for a little bit youll know i did part of this edit once before#i did the bridge when the afk session came out#and then that plus cherrifire's crane lives project inspired me to assign the whole album to the series#and i was ORIGNALLY planning to do a project like she did w/ the thumbnails#but i couldnt get myself to actually DO IT and also i did map out an entire animatic to factories at one point.#which. on the topic of that. factories or anniversary will be the next ones#anniversary has been started but not fully mapped out whereas factories has been fully mapped out but not started#we'll see which one catches my eye enough first#but all the songs HAVE been assigned so if nothing else i know the gist of what i'm doing for every song#this will definitely be a multi-month project though since one of these takes me a few days to finish#though finals season approaching also means winter break is approaching so who knows! maybe ill bang all of them out in december#(DO NOT HOLD ME TO THAT OH MY GOD)

I was afraid Iād lose him. So I got there late. And⦠as I entered, I saw him about to take pictures by himself. The first thing that I felt was⦠I wanted to hug him. No matter how bad I was to him, heās still there for me. Every time that Iāve fallen or torn apart, he always runs up to me. Heāll come running and hug me. The same goes for this time, where he shows up. Am I happy? Iām really delighted. I really am. Iād like to thank Save for always being by my side till this very day.

*starts to make a post about my latest crisis like three times*
#it's uh. it's interesting times here#i am really out here choosing between my comfort zone#or spending over 300 dollars to go to a homeschool conference to sell some copies of my book#most of the money would be spent on author copies of my book#and like. i prayed and i was pretty sure buying 50 of them was the right way to go#AND YET. IT WOULD COST TWO FREAKING HUNDRED DOLLARS#well 269. let's be precise here#and i have to pay for a table at the book sale too and the time window is closing#i did randomly get a surprising amount of money from two people for christmas#and that would cover roughly half of it#but like. this is really stepping out in faith. close to as much as when i quit my job for this#i could make it all back all i have to do is sell those books. not even all of them just most of them.#BUT WHAT IF I CAN'T#i'm an introvert okay. or introvert adjacent. i don't have the confidence that my dad or my siblings would have for this#especially not when there's 300 dollars at stake and just. ugh#i definitely should not be putting all my faith in money or my own abilities#in fact what i should be doing is saying 'okay God if this is what you want then show up'#but oh sky above it is very scary#so if you made it this far. pray for me? that God will show me the right thing to do and i'll follow the path He has for me#even though it's extremely scary#hazel rambles about her original writing

the people coming in from other countries ALSO have little idea about your policies, etc. as does anyone coming into america, they just wanted to get out. a change of scenery. and most people that do research on countries, ie those who move to like norway, are rich. they can afford that. they can afford the change. but people hype of japan quite frequently as well... and well, japan is technologically advanced but rather behind on all other elements. especially lgbtq rights. so i just don't get why your initial reaction was 'americans not doing research' and instead, 'i'm sorry you guys are also struggling, maybe you think you're struggling more, but we're also struggling and we really need to do something about this.' you legalized gay marriage 20 years ago. americans were only 10 years ago. and now they want to attack the supreme court case that legalized country wide marriage. they already proposed it. it's happening. did that happen to you guys or are we just going to keep butting heads? aren't you a big advocate for the gay rights or is that just a big fucking lie?
... bud, I specified Americans because they're the ones talking about moving to Canada.
Idk how to make it more fucking clear to you that it is about an American ignorance about the problems in OUR COUNTRY, and that they act like we are this safe haven utopia.
Yes, we do have things that are 'safe' here, like gay marriage, but we are again, in the middle of a health care crisis because our conservatives want to privatize it, we are in a housing and homelessness crisis because of the cost of living that our politicians refuse to do anything about, and again, our politicians are actively trying to be like Trump.
You're throwing in a bunch of non sequiturs here to detract from the main point and to put words in my mouth.
If you need a little gentle pat on the ass about the words I chose - again, being mad and offended because I said DO RESEARCH and not "oh woe is you poor thing, we are also suffering" then that's a YOU problem.
Figure it the fuck out bud.
Also I'm a fucking lesbian?? "advocate for the gay rights" brother I am the gay rights.
#anonymous#OOC.#[ like why the fuck are you mentioning norway and japan here when i am explicitly talking abt americans who wanna immigrate to canada ]#[ like good god choose your battles but also learn to argue while you're at it ]#[ you are not getting it are you???? ]#[ also do you even follow me bc like????????????????????????????? how do u not know im gay LMAO?????????????? ]

First thing I wanna share is progress on Kingmaker: we fought the Stag Lord and he shot my boy right in the throat š Itās ok tho he got healed and heās better now
#my art#pathfinder 2e#xioyun#because itās what consumes my thoughts rn so you get this first#had a very bad time during the fight#he found out after the battle that the Stag Lord was comparing him to his father#and the entire fight his allies were saying him and the Stag Lord were similar#not a good day to be a follower of Cayden Cailean#you choose to worship funny drink god and now ppl compare you to an abuser because you both like booze

Yāall ever think about if Sora falls to darkness that inside his heart will look like the Destiny Islands falling again
#i do a lot#kingdom hearts#one of the biggest reasons i think weāll see something like this in canon. briefly at least#not only would parallel ddd w venās heart/armor no longer there to protect sora#and roxas and xion gone from soraās heart too. so sora would be alone#and actually there as opposed to in the RoL/awake when riku dives in#but also there is no way nomuraās gonna pass up the chance to bring us full circle like this. he loves making his characters revisit/relive#worlds and memories like this to make a point. and soraās heart was sunset in ddd⦠following kh1 the dark and stormy night comes next#The thought of sora and riku reaffirming their love and friendship here when it broke the first time the islands fell#both of them having to in a way relive this horrible night for the final time#but riku doing the total opposite of last time. trying to save sora trying to stop the darkness from consuming everything#being totally honest with sora. reaching his hand out for sora but this time heās not being consumed by darkness.#heās become the light in the darkness. and they finally reach each other they finally grasp hands. Iām chewing on glass#i donāt think sora would āfallā to darkness in the traditional sense#thematically i think it makes more sense for him to be faced w another martyr choice#though his own negative feelings would still be tangled up in there. and this would parallel kh3#and if sora chooses to let darkness into his heart to save others itād also parallel kh1 w riku choosing to open the door/let the darkness#into destiny islands at the risk of others#god itād be just like kh1 but weād be playing as riku and heād be the one looking frantically for sora#a reversed dynamic. but now they understand each otherās pain and feelings so they can reach each other#figuratively and literally#i love parallels i love symbolism i love themes kick my ass !!!!
