#dark orion and the dark

[nemo-draco]

I know there's a lot of people out there that think Dark and Light should have a romantic relationship, but, hear me out...

Twin siblings. Make 'em twin brothers. Yin and yang, what have you, but they're basically total opposites in some very key ways. One example, Dark is easily flustered and takes things to heart a lot. Light is more unflappable and clearly settled into his own skin. Makes arguments the most frustrating things ever for Dark given that he'll be all ready to bleed off the resentment he has from being thought of as 'the bad one' and Light just, doesn't match his energy. Doesn't get mad. Absolutely sees the projection for what it is, and Dark is just no no no no I wanna be pissed off at something LET ME BE PISSED OFF!

And meanwhile Light's like sure, man, you can be pissed, but not at me because my existence isn't what's wrong here. We both know you're not mad because of ME specifically.

And Dark gets huffy because he's not gonna be able to correct all instances of nyctophobia on planet Earth. Though Light lets him rant a bit anyway because, hey, better than the guy stewing in private.

But yeah, sibling snarkiness and in-jokes. Silliness. 'Oh remember that time when you-' quickly followed by 'WE SAID WE WERE NEVER SPEAKING OF THIS AGAIN AND HERE YOU ARE SPEAKING OF IT'. Occasional moments of Twins being Twins.

Also moments like:

Some Random Entity: So, who's older?

Dark: We're twins, it doesn't matter.

Light: Me.

Dark: BY ONE SECOND---Also, yeah, doesn't matter. Still twins.

Light: [picture of nonchalant innocence here]

the choice for shadow to have softer brown eyes that only turn that vibrant red when he's using his powers is SOOOOO peak

Heal Me! (Bayverse Optimus X Human Reader) Headcanons!

To set the mood: Trailer

At first, Optimus was hesitant and did not trust you, either because you were a complete stranger or because he had been betrayed many times before. However, as time passed and you and the Autobots became closer and worked together, you became great friends with both the Autobots and Optimus.

You would always leave Optimus being inspired by your acts and words. He would show a lot of respect for you.

Whenever Optimus or the other Autobots were harmed, no matter how slight or severe, you would become extremely anxious, and Optimus would find it adorable.

Optimus really wouldn't get any time to talk to you, either because of him being busy or you being busy but when he does, that is during midnight, you both would engage in a rather in conversation talking about your private lives or past. Him sipping his energon and you sipping your coffee would talk for hours and even cry on each other's shoulder.

He loves it when you touch him during your regular check-ups. He fantasises about you caressing him out of affection.

He would even go so far as to fake his injuries or intentionally injure himself in order to meet you or be touched by your small fragile hands.

Poor Optimus cries on his knees every night, because he knows you would not love him in the same way he does or at least he thought you wouldn't. :)

It would be difficult for him to resist the want to simply hold you securely close to his spark, kiss you, or touch you and have his way with you. But he would fight them while remaining in control of himself.

Everyone knew Optimus was in love with you since his entire attitude changed around you,from being a prime, a protector, the great leader of the Autobots to a soft,shy and nervous robot. 

Despite everyone telling him to express his feelings to you, he would hide them inside himself and never say or admit anything to you. He was too afraid of what the consequences would be.

Sentinel employed cold constructed MTO's as his security officers, and mine 'managers', knowing that they would resent, and hate the miners for being born, (forged) something that they themselves were denied. He knew they would use that hatred to fuel their cruel treatment of the mining bots. This explains why Dark Wing is such an anal orifice. Gotta love TF lore.

The Boogeyman Nebula, LDN 1622 // Vytautas Paulauskas

[nemo-draco]

Some first attempts at drawing Light and Dark from Orion and the Dark. Also a fan character named Twilight, who handles the transition between night and day. So, dawn and dusk, though for her it's like painting. She's a bit younger than Dark and Light, given that it took a bit for that sort of thing to actually take place, like you'd probably need actual planets and horizons for there to be a dawn and dusk.

But, well, even though this 'kid' is about as old as the occurrence of a sunset and a sunrise, Dark and Light still think of her as a younger sister. Doesn't help that she's smaller than they are. Helps with getting from zero to 100 when flying, she's easily the zippiest out of the three of them, but yep. Both Dark and Light seeing this one pop up in the pre-Cambrian age and its like, omg tiny, she's TINY...

And yeah, Twilight totally climbing all over her big brothers like a glowey little monkey. Dark loves it and is pretty tactile in return, though keeping night underway takes up a lot of his time, especially with other entities that rely on him to do their jobs. Though Twilight does start wearing a hoodie ensemble similar to his robe and oh boy there went his emotions because it's clear she's trying to emulate him...

Light is less able to be climbed on but he enjoys talking with and having one on one time with Twilight, more of the type to want to build up the kid in other ways and provide guidance. He's also the one that tends to be the most intuitive, easily reading when Twilight maybe isn't doing her best or needs someone to talk to for a bit. Again though, responsibilities. He's gotta be moving as much as Dark has to be.

So they kinda cooperate as best they can when it comes to Twilight and keeping things in balance. Seems to go well, at least until the boys start arguing more often than usual...

showing shadow's life on the ark was such a good fucking idea. sure they're just little moments, but they've given me an even deeper appreciation for his character

I've ALWAYS wanted to see more of maria and this is exactly why. seeing how she and shadow were on the ark makes her death less of a plot point in shadow's past and more of a proper tragedy

there's something about seeing shadow be so open, to hear him admit to insecurities he's having.....it makes seeing how he acts now almost miserable. because now, we know how much of himself he's closed off to others, how much tighter he's holding onto his emotions. to me his character no longer feels like a lone-wolf hero, he feels alone

we always knew she was his purpose....now we can see she was his whole fucking world. maria never struggled with who she was (this ugly heartless creature...i'm really no different than this thing), and she had a place she was going to eventually return to (I was created here, I don't know if there's a place for me on earth), shadow only ever had her

and now, we know her. we know just how kind she was, how she looked out for shadow just as much as he looked out for her. how, while she was a bright spot in shadow's gloom, she never shied away from talking about the harder parts of their lives. and now that we know her, I feel her loss deeply instead of a vague "oh, that's sad"

shadow's side looks so empty without maria there.
