Something took over me and made me draw G1 Orion and Megatron

I don’t remember if it was you or another blog.

But I remember seeing a single mom reader x Optimus. And the reader’s kid was a teen, and I found it so funny.

But imagine if the kid was a bit younger, like 3-9. Idk about you or anyone else, but I was an absolute YAPPER! At that age. Like giving animal facts and everything, because I had just watched wild krats and the world MUST know that cheetah’s have their own emotional support dogs.

Imagine Optimus trying to bond with the baby because he likes reader, and he just chilling with the kiddo while reading through some stuff.

Kiddo: did you know manatees can’t be mean?

Optimus just trying to work: I didn’t.

Kiddo: did you now cow’s have best friends?

Optimus: that’s nice.

Kiddo: did you know-

Optimus debating his life choice: do I like them that much?… yes- (he’s whipped)

Sorry for the yap session, I just thought it was cute 🤣. There needs to be more single mom reader x Optimus fics fr fr.

Step!dad Opti is doing things to me man, I love this so much, never apologize for your yap sessions

He would be so patient with his (though you don’t know it yet) adoptive kid. He listens to absolutely everything they tell him, and after every meeting, he walks away richer with fifty new facts about Earth’s flora and fauna. And thanks to his dedication to the child’s endless chatter, he’s bound to quickly earn the status of a cool alien father figure in their eyes <3

Imagine — one day, the kid brings him a drawing of Optimus, you, and themselves in the middle, just like kids often draw their families. Opti would definitely staple that drawing straight to his spark and think about it 24/7 <3

Purple Hyacinth analysis: the contrast between episodes 43 and 142

I made a thread on twitter to show how episode 142 was an obvious callback to episode 43 so i decided to post it here as well. Warning: the panels from 43 might be triggering to some people.

First of all we notice Kieran lying a lot in episode 142. The man didn't have a plan at all coming in there and he makes no effort to go around her ability either. It's clear deep down he didn't want to end their partnership, he knows they make a great team but he's doing everything to put distance between them for her sake only. He cares about her so much (read: he's in love with her) and wants to keep her safe.

This is already a huge difference compared to episode 43. Kieran got his walls up so high when Lauren came to the cave. He is acting cold with a disdainful and arrogant attitude, and uses rhetorical questions to avoid lying to her. There's not a single lie from Kieran in episode 43 except for the one where he slips up when he tells Lauren he has always been a monster.

Kieran's "i am merely stating facts" from 142 is obviously a lie while in episode 43 he is actually stating facts: he talks about the atrocities he committed as the Purple Hyacinth. He is proving Lauren right: he is a monster.

Kieran physically hurts Lauren in 43 and it's not a lie when he tells her he wouldn't cry. He is cold and brutal. In episode 142 he could have said something more hurtful in trying to push her away but he can't. He cares about her too much now and would never hurt her again. "I'm not indifferent to what happens to you" = how to tell someone you care about them without actually saying it. Kieran please.

Another obvious callback to episode 43 is that Lauren now admits she was fully aware of the risks from the beginning.

They've come such a long way since then. From Lauren calling him a monster in 43 to her reassuring Kieran in ep 142 about who he is as as a person and that she isn't afraid of him while she takes off his "mask" (the glasses)... i'm not okay.

Lauki's dynamic is so well written and i'm still in awe of how Eph and Soph handled the development of their relationship after what happened in 43. Lauren telling Kieran she trusts him and won't back down is so important and yet another milestone in their relationship.

To end this post i want to point out the differences in atmosphere and lighting as well. Episode 43 is cold and dark, and episode 142 has a very warm atmosphere.

bonus:

Conclusion: Lauki's development is wonderfully written. I dare say it's legit one of the best dynamics i've ever come across in a piece of fiction.

Thank you for reading!
