Prompt for you!

“When did you last sleep?”

So I'm going to be very predictable and write some Witch Hat Atelier stuff because why the hell not

------

"When did you last sleep?"

Atwert blinked. How was it that Galga, without any of his memories, could still see through him with such ease? How did Galga notice things like this when he had no memory to his name?

"I can't remember", Atwert whispered, hoping Galga wouldn't hear him. But, fate had other plans - Galga instantly ducked closer to study Atwert's face.

Shaking his head, Galga spoke softly. "We can't have that. You must rest. You always make sure I rest, so...someone has to do the same for you."

Shaking his head, Atwert screwed his eyes shut. He just wanted to hide, wanted the pain to be over. Nighttime always brought about the pain in his chest.

"Come now." Galga took Atwert's hand in his. "Humour me just this once. Tomorrow may not fix me, but we'll at least be both alive and ready to face another day."

Atwert wanted to run, oh he wanted to run so bad, but he chose not to. Instead, he allowed Galga to lead him to their - no, his bedroom.

"Do you need anything?" Galga asked. His voice was so soft, almost too soft. It reminded Atwert so much of the embrace he so sorely needed.

"Stay?" Atwert whispered. "Just...just until I fall asleep? I don't think I can sleep alone right now."

Nodding, Galga gave Atwert a melancholy smile. "Sure thing. I'll stay."

As Atwert lay down on his back, Galga joined him on the bed. Galga absentmindedly placed his hand on Atwert's chest, right above his heart. For a moment, Atwert feared the gesture would undo him, to break the last remnants of his mind.

However, before that could happen, Galga spoke again.

"Sleep now. I'll be here in the morning."

In your babyprime!Orion AU, I wonder what the high guard would do at the end of the movie... On one hand, they do agree with the newly named Megatron. On the other hand, Megatron isn't the prime, he's the prime's best friend (possibly more, but no one in the guard is willing to open this can of worms at the moment), and that's not how the chain of command works. And the prime (the only prime, the only prime left, the grown-up child they thought they would never see again) is staying in Iacon, and if they leave he'll be all alone. He won't have anyone to tell him about his long-gone siblings and history, or to guide him through paperwork and protocols. What if someone tries to assassinate the kid and they're not here to stop it?? Idk, maybe they'd be a bit fewer Decepticons in this AU.

oh my god you hit my favorite part of this au!!! hell yeah!!! conflicted loyalties my beloved <333

in this au not only does megatron have less decepticons than in canon, he also has more than a couple mech actively hunting him down and screaming for his blood. like. the moment he shot orion it was a sealed matter for them. the conflict right after sentinel's death is less about the decepticons destroying the city and more about them turning on each other as some try to protect megatron from being fucking torn apart by the rest.

but on the other hand i can see a good amount of the high guard being... disappointed by orion. they've waited 50 cycles for him to take his place as the last prime and enact revenge for his fallen siblings, for him to lead them into a new golden era, for him him to restore them to their former glory... and he isn't what they expected. he doesn't even remember them. and it's a big blow for more than a couple of them.

they expected him to be more... affected by all of it. more thirsty for justice. more driven to revenge.

they kind of expected him to be more like d-16.

but like you said, he's still their prime. he's still their last prime. he's still the little one they had to leave behind with little more than hope and prayer that he would be safe. and for some that's enough to decide they don't really care about anything else beyond finally being able to stand at his side like they should have for all those cycles.

also the idea of the high guards that stay telling orion about his siblings and helping him through the power transition and teaching him how to be a prime because they're all that's left from that time???? yeah i'm gonna fucking sob actually OTL

that's their little prime. they already left him behind once. how could they ever do it again.

and the ones that do, the ones that turned bitter and lost their faith in a god that let his children be slaughtered, the ones who would rather follow a mech who understands that might makes right... even them pull their shots when it comes to the prime. even when at war, even when in battle, they cannot bring themselves to aim to kill the one they once would've died to keep safe from any harm.

that being said, the high guards that do become autobots become incredibly over-protective of optimus and low-key are kept from the battlefield as much as possible, because the mere sight of those they consider traitors makes them incredibly murderous. like. they're still the mechs who would've become decepticons in another universe. they simply decided they cared more for optimus than anything else in this one.

i would say most of the high guard still become decepticons, even if maybe a little more conflicted about overthrowing the primacy than in canon, but more than a few stay behind. like. 80/20 maybe.

and i'm not really sure who i would make an autobot in this au tbh? like. deep down i kind of really want soundwave to stay with optimus, because 1) he's my favorite decepticon, 2) he was already pretty down to follow optimus' lead in canon and 3) him being loyal af is an integral part of his character, so him staying loyal to the very last prime he'd sworn to protect makes sense to me. but he is the quintessential decepticon. i'm pretty sure the entire faction would fall apart without him and i do want them to have a fighting chance even without their full numbers.

i don't know enough about shockwave to properly have an opinion on him, but i do think it would be funny to have him decide it is only logical to follow his prime, because tbh he did beat most of the high guard's ass when push came to shove. like. if might makes right, then optimus has shown he has plenty of might already. also i think it'd be hilarious to have optimus be constantly stressed about keeping shockwave from casually committing war crimes every other day. like. he's an autobot but he's not in it for the morality of it all lmao

and starscream... that would also be kinda funny i'm not gonna lie but i'm not sure i see him following optimus. i think he would be part of the ones that lost their faith on primus and therefore the primacy pretty early on after sentinel's betrayal, and while he wouldn't ever try to harm orion he doesn't really think a kid should have the reins of an entire planet either. why, he would probably do a better job himself.

i have entirely too many thoughts about this au as you can see!!! thank you for stirring up the brain-worms and i'm sorry for the messy ask (/▽＼)!!!

[purrliacci]

guys i need to find a fanfic- so basically Megatron and Soundwave went back in time, (Megatron still remains as his final cogged version btw) And basically Megatron goes to Iacon to find Orion and exposes Sentinel’s lies to him. Then Big M basically created the SG tfOne universe.

[nazrigar]

This for your transformers story. How did Optimus Prime’s face end up half shredded?

Simply put? An accidental Fusion Cannon from his own dad. Orion almost talked Megatron down from executing not just Sentinel, but the Cybertronian Council on the spot... but alas, tunnel vision, and the sight of some members seeing Orion's speech to crawl and find an escape (including Sentinel... though Sentinel here is nowhere near as bad (in personality) to TFONE Sentinel) meant that Megatron's rage won... and the rest is history.

It's the one wound that couldn't heal completely when Orion Pax became Optimus Prime proper.

Marauders fans should gtfo of the HP fandom cuz they only steal the lore and names from it and don't respect anything else about the characters.

The worst thing is I like Sirius as a character but to find fanfictions that stay true to his canon personality is truly a pain and I wish it wasn't.

What is your opinion?

litr what you said x2.

the reason they claim it to be is that theyre anti jkr but they come off as homophobic or fujoshis honestly theyre so stereotypical and it does honestly feel like forced representation because them being gay has no impact on their actual personalities, it just replaces them completely with a hyperfemme/hypermasc one. its giving boyfriends the webtoon.

also !!! they dont do anything w the actual canonically gay man in the harry potter series (dumbledore!!!) because hes not as hairless 16 year old twink !!!!

the killing of sirius' character is possibly the massacre of the century and no one talks about it. its never brought up despite it being so fucking massive. he is easily the most complex character in harry potter (with competition with dumbledore, maybe) and is reduced to twink femboy cumdump bitch for his alpha daddy boyfriend like STOP IT !!!! every time i interact with a wolfstar post on tiktok my entire fyp is soft porn like holy ! fucking ! shit ! theres that whole thing of rising porn/sex addicts which are very very young (minors, usually young teenagers) because of how desensitized everyone on the internet is to sexual content but i wont rant abt that here but like - that !! a lot of the content is very obviously either sexual, has dom/sub themes, follows the top/bottom, heteronormative masc/femme dynamic and its !!! icky !!! ugh !!!!

marauders fandom SHOULD gtfo the hp fandom space!! kids are still reading these books for the first time today/getting into the marauders for the first time today and they shouldnt be exposed to romanticized toxic relationships (though honestly thats a problem of the internet)

Count me as one person who was weary of Chris as Optimus (OP is one of my favorites and I have high standards), but I was pleasantly surprised in the trailer. He sounded great, and actually one reason Chris was great as Thor was that he handled all the emotional extremes of the character, even surpassing the material itself. And you need that for Optimus/Orion. Also, his Orion seems pretty mischievous and I honestly like it. It's also sweet that he reached out to Peter.

Loyal fans were rightfully worried abt an actor/celebrity stepping in. But I hate how they were dismissing him without ever hearing him:

So I'm happy he is getting praise for the work he put in. He became Optimus instead of making Optimus his, if that makes sense - actually worked to get the voice/tone down, got Cullen himself to help him. So, he's got his approval too.

I've seen fans speculate that when Orion becomes Optimus, Cullen will take over and I highly doubt it. You do not get the expensive Chris Hemsworth for half a movie. He's fully taking over as Optimus I believe.

Yeah I love Optimus too. And I LOVE the direction they're going - making him carefree adventurous instead of studious introvert. This will make the transition to the righteous calm Optimus we know so so so delicious. I'm so here for it!

Not to mention seeing Optimus and Megatron be besties before they become sworn enemies.

[stanuary]

Hey need to ask, but how long will Stanuary be until? Mid-Feb?

i'll reblog posts here until february 15th!

[plushi]

just letting you know i think how you draw breakdown and knock out is the cutest thing in the world and i want to hold them in my hands. so gently

Thank you for the sweet message!! I try my best 🥺

[quirekey]

:] which fanfic should i write for next, I can’t choose personally

[talvenhenki]

Well you pfp is Julian Bashir soooooo...--- You also give me some Snufkin vibes.

honestly, those are the best vibes! From you, I get Too-Ticky vibes 💜

[talvenhenki]

I am! I am really flattered! :--D It's just, my whole personality is that every time I find out that someone has seen or akcnowledged me, I run away screaming in terror because even though I make all attempts to be seen, I'm secretly a hobbit who does not like being seen or known lol

I am sorry, people talk about my fics and reference them????? This is news to me and I am slightly terrified that my insomnia-fuelled writing has breached containment this far (°A°)

I used to be in such small fandoms that maybe three people would read my fics and now this is happening?? I don't know if I should be flattered (more likely) or run away screaming so I can hide (less likely but my gut says this is what I must do)

!! You should be flattered. We love your writing <3 when we're having a trekkie conversation, one of us may mention a fic we read, and your fics have come up in the convos. I'm sorry if that's too much for you, but to be fair, it's the price you pay for writing on the internet (i mean that in a nice joking way, not being snarky with you here)

[alfea]

one thing i never understood about starship promise is why so many people loved antares so much when orion is objectively the better brother in every way

[sadmages]

conga rats on the name drop! also lol, shit memory coming in clutch, i've already forgotten the old one

Ajdjskdndkdn exactly as planned....thank you tho!!!!!

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

Hippolytus joining the hunt after the whole Orion fiasco must've been really awkward to say the least

Artemis introducing the guy to Apollo like "I know what you're thinking but hear me out-"

Haha, he does join the Hunt sometime after this, so this is accurate!

At least Hippolytus isn't a giant made to annihilate the twins and is genuinely a guy who has zero interest in romance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
