#thr bg <3 what was i on

[leowifefang]

in love with making this guy have more trouble going through metal detectors

[harriertail]

absolutely devoured Thunder and Shadow in a reread and God they really could have made the first 3 AVoS books into a whole arc. SO much happens and theres such huge time skips - TaA skips the entire leafbare they'd been discussing and fearing- and the pacing is so janky. They skim over what could be really good moments. ShadowClan's illness. WindClan's paranoia. Going on massive quests every couple chapters. Even in Shattered Sky they bring back fucking SkyClan while RiverClan is being occupied, and then Darktail is defeated and we all kinda agree the arc goes to shit. Soooo much happens in 1-3 they just skip over!!!!

I got this headcanon or fanfic idea I wanted to see again, of optimus prime with a chubby reader who is always very shy or timid trying to avoid getting op's attention after the leader himself decided to be their guardian, they would do that by just acting like some bg character ,their own business in their own spot,but always liking to look at Optimus, admiring him, having this nice feeling.

Optimus always questioned and wondered why after they came ,why they where the one to be less interacting, always on thr corner wacthing everything while playing with their fingers, and with now him being their guardian, he could have a better chance to talk to them and know more of them

I always find chubby reader stuff so cute ^^, it can be any gender , I got a little carried away with my mind

TFP Optimus x chubby!GN!reader

"I perceive that you are going through some inner conflict." Optimus continues to speak softly, "If it is any consolation to you, you are free of judgement whilst you are with me."

(I'm running out of gifs to use oop-)

This one was such a pleasure to write due to my own experience, I am always willing to write chubby readers and the fluff that ensues <3

Warnings: SFW, fluff, chubby reader.

Word count: 1071

You've been the quiet type for as long as you can remember, opting to observe everyone and everything around you. You had always told yourself it was by choice that your feelings towards yourself had no influence on your interactions with others and that you were only shy. But ultimately, you've always felt self-conscious about what others think, often comparing yourself to the more extroverted individuals and their confidence in striking up conversations with strangers. You wish you had that confidence, but no matter how hard you try, you get tongue-tied and retreat to a safe space, usually away from prying eyes.

But sometimes, the prying eyes find you again, particularly one gorgeous pair of blue optics that belong to your guardian. Of course, you try your best to hide from him due to his large stature and commanding yet gentle voice. Still, over time you found yourself catching glances with Optimus more often, and when you did, he always gave you a soft smile.

Optimus Prime was a very observant bot by nature; it came with his job being both the leader of the Autobots and an expert ex-archivist. He had only been your guardian for a few months. Still, he has picked up on the differences between the personalities of the other humans and you. Optimus is familiar with the others, being loud and at least somewhat interactive. Still, he had never met a quiet and timid human like you. It made him wonder why you acted so that you would retreat to the room's corners and avoid all contact with everyone.

Well, all verbal contact, at least. Optimus had noticed your increasing stares directed at him. He decided to pull you aside to try and talk to you, hidden away in his berthroom. Hence, the conversation is private but also in hopes of making you feel more comfortable. He still noticed you fidgeting with your fingers and absentmindedly picking at the corners of your fingernails. Optimus knew this was a self-soothing tactic and a clear indicator that you were anxious about talking with him. So, Optimus reached his servos down to ever pry your hands away so gently from each other to prevent more scratches that tattered your delicate skin.

"I must ask," Optimus runs a digit across your wrist. He can feel the goosebumps along with your hair standing on end. Optimus needs to speak quietly to be as un-intimidating to you as possible, "Why must you avoid speaking to me?"

It was a simple question to most, but you struggle to find the words yet again, and you can feel the familiar knot in the back of your throat. Optimus senses your inability to speak and gently squeezes your wrist to bring you back to the present moment.

"I perceive that you are going through some inner conflict." Optimus continues to speak softly, "If it is any consolation to you, you are free of judgement whilst you are with me."

Optimus is surprised to find a quiet voice piercing through the cold air of his room. Your voice is so soft-spoken that Optimus had to strain his audio receptors to hear what you were saying.

"I'm sorry, Optimus." You breathe out, unsure what to say next or how to relay your emotions. You are not used to laying your feelings bare for anyone to see, "I just worry about how people see me."

Optimus gives you a gentle nod in encouragement and understanding; this was about your self-esteem regarding your body. He understood that humans have a specific preference for body types. It not only confused him, but he found it rather foolish that, for their very short lifespan, they chose to spend it tearing other people down. But, of course, Cybertronians are quite the opposite. For the most part, his kind has moved past such trivial matters. But what does Optimus expect from a species so young with so much to learn?

"Has someone made you feel this way?" Optimus encourages you to open up to him further. Of course, someone had to or Optimus would not think you would feel this way. He believes you are beautiful and endearing despite your lack of attention towards him.

You trace the seams of his servos with your fingers to distract yourself more. Optimus' lingering servo still wrapped around your wrist, and if you were honest, it was causing your heart to race. You pray that Optimus hasn't noticed, "Many people have. They say that nobody can love someone like me."

"And that is the reason why you avoid us? For fear of judgement, is that correct?" Optimus listens intently.

"Yep..." You pull your knees as much as you can up to your chest and hug them, "I also feel like I have nothing to offer. Jack, Miko and Raf all have unique talents, and I can't even talk to someone without becoming a nervous wreck."

Optimus pauses for a moment, his glowing optics flickering over your form. He feels thrilled because this is the most extended conversation ever with you, and he appreciates that you feel comfortable enough to confide in him. However, he doesn't let his excitement show and continues using a soft voice.

"Y/n," He gently whispers your name. Then, he squeezes your hands softly, "Do you know why I have chosen you to be my charge?"

You shake your head, enjoying the pressure of his servos on your wrists, "No, not really."

"It is due to how much you remind me of myself before I was a Prime and an archivist." Optimus lets a servo trail up your arm to rest on your shoulder, "I was exactly like you, and I have reason to believe that you will accomplish extraordinary things one day. So do not allow other people to drag you down."

"And, to the people who believe you are unworthy of love because of your outward appearance." Optimus brings a digit to your plump cheek, "They could never be more wrong."

Optimus Prime's words of love and appreciation made your heart skip a beat, and you couldn't help but lean into his touch. You felt a smile creep onto your lips for the first time in a long time. For now, you knew that as long as you had Optimus as a guardian, you were safe. You could feel secure knowing no one would ever hurt or treat you poorly again.

I hope you do well on it!! (what's it about? can i ask that? IDK if i'll understand or not, but...)

Im doing honours in biology, but my project reaches into (enviromental) microbiology as well (note: im a microbiology and biology major)

So my project is on 3 newly isolated unidentified strains of cyanobacteria which originate from moss and lilypads from a lake in Wuhan, China. These strains are special because they can make a certain type of chlorophyll called chlorophyll f

So cyanobacteria are cool cos theyre the only oxygenic photoaynthetic bacteria, and also theyre who we need to thank for for making 1) the earth have oxygen and 2) plants (as theyre the origin of the creation of chlorophyll).

Also dunno if ya know this but theres different structurally distinct forms of chlorophyll. Almost all oxygebic photosynthetic organisms have chl a. So chl a can’t absorb all light wavelengths, especially light wavelengths beyound 700nm. This is where cool chlorophylls like chl d and f absorb light called ‘far red light’.

So ya anyway back to my project

So first i had to see at least what genus my strains aka my babies belonged to. I sewuenced their 16S-23S Internal Transcribed Spacer region (ITS) gene region and then searched and compared the sequence to their identified closest related strains available on the NCBI database (its this massive database with many things including gene sewuence and functioms and proteins and organism sequences). Also i got certain domains (its like sections of its dna sequence) and folded it and compared isolates with their relatives to see if they were similar (thus belonged to that genus) or ver different (thus did not belong in that genus). And ye so:Strain 1 belongs in Leptolyngbya. Strain 18 belongs in Chorococcidiopsis. And Strain 10 is still unknown.

So next i had to grow my strains into healthy stock cultures for further studies. I 'optimised’ the culture conditions to make my strains have higer growth rates and stuff. So that means i tested different light intensities, salinities, pH, and temperatures to see what combo each of my babies liked. Omg so when i got them they were on thr brink of death!!!! Like i thought i was killing or contaminating them but in fact they were suffering under thr initial conditions! So initially they were being grown under light intensity of 20 microeinsteins (uE) of white light, at 27oC, 0% salinity BG-11 freshwater media, at pH 7.5-8.And like almost all my strains liked this except the BIG FACTOR to photosynthesis: light intensity! My strains came from a super shaded environment, so it wasnt surprising that they liked low light conditions between 5-10 uE. Aka from them on in order tk grow them good i had to place a piece of fabric on top of cultures to grow them!! My picky little NEETs ;u; so proud of them theyre too cute!

So after optimisimg them, they grew so happy to the point rhat one of them was contaminating cultures of anothrr lol

So next i exposed cultures to different qualities of light (different wavelengths) aka different colours of light in order to see how light quality effects growth and photopigments. Btw photopigments are proteins that harvest light.Ok so i tested white light, blue light, green light, orange red light, and far red light. Strain 1 was so wild sjsvhshsh the cells changed colours dramatically across each loght treatment! Like in blue light it looked pink, white light it looked brown, orange red light it looked green. Later found out from pigment analysis that this was cos it was altering something called its phicobiliproteins which are special proteins of the phycobilisome antenna that absorbs different colours of light.

All strains made chl f only under far red light CONFIRMED

All strains made thr most carotenoids in blue light and far red light. Ok so this is cool cos carotenoids play lotsa roles in photosynthetic organisms like it harvests blue-green light, it acts as an antioxidant so it takes away reactive oxygen species which can damage the other photosynthetic proteins, also quenches overexcited photosynthetic proteins so they dont hurt themselves, and they also play a role in cell wall and protein structure stability 👌👌👌 think of them as sunscreen for chloroplasts 👏👏👏 so strains 1 and 18 grew alright in blue light meaning that they were using carotenoids for protection AND harvesting. Whilst strain 10 almost died in blue light, so it was only using carotenoids for protection.

I also got some coll fotos from confocal microscopy feel free to drop an ask and ill post some pics of them 👌👌👌 that machine hates me and its a miracle i even got these pictures lol

So ye! Characterised lotsa things for these newly isolatex strains! Cbb going through my discussion section so heres some dot points

- strains like low light and freshwater conditions- syrains show particularly 2 types of chromatic acclimation far red light photoaccilamtion and complementary chromatic acclimation- their ability to grow under low light and alter their photopigments in respinse to the light environment means that they could be strains for biofuel production- strain 1 can be used as a teaching aid for classes on phycobilisome function cos it changes its phycobiliproteins so dramatically in response to light quality
