This story is thanks to a friend who passed his idea and together we come up with ideas to how to write it. :)

Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY...... Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on

im losing my marbles over the fact that elita SAID that she was happy that dee had someone close to him. she said she was happy he found someone like that but he had to balance hanging out with orion and his work like WHICH IS GENUINE GOOD ADVICE.

and then dee still said that orion was insignificant... he didn't need to somehow prove that orion wasn't a distraction. he didn't need to make it clear that orion didn't mean anything to him. elita knows that orion means something. and she congratulated dee on finding someone like that. and then dee still turned around and denounced it. ohhhh my heart.

and the fact that ORION HEARD THE WHOLE CONVERSATION..... it's not even miscommunication, orion has all of the context. it's just flat out dee denying that he means anything to him. and dee means so so much to orion. i cannot see any way this will end badly /silly

YOU'RE RIGHT AND THIS IS PERFECT SUMMARY OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CONVEYED OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO KISS YOU

People were saying it's Elita's fault like NO! Don't baby D-16 here, it's all him. In that moment, he felt that his feelings for Orion were a weakness or a wound that the public could sneer and poke at but that's not it at all??? He was trying to overcompensate for his lack of security and and in turn said things that hurt Orion.

We all say things that we didn't think through and when it hurts people, WE SUCK IT UP AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. There's no miscommunication, that boy did this to himself

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

Ok now I can officially go on a mini nerd rant here

"Oh so I'm just invisible now?" - Jazz /j

But jokes aside, that is also very interesting to know! Orion Pax is a very bubbly person, seems to be the type that would have many friends, the one that has that shine no one else can replace, but let's look back on a few things.

Jazz, in his introduction, mentions how, "We miss you like crazy back at home" to Orion. Implying there are other bots at home who know of Orion & miss him, but are they really friends or just friendly coworkers that you wouldn't talk to outside of the mines? Now you could say Jazz is a good friend, but we don't know their actual friendship on a deeper level, all we know is that they're playful & a bit touchy, so what does Jazz know of Orion other than being his crush on the sidelines and a friend to joke around with?

We dont know much else other than that. We see how Orion & D-16's relationship grows, we all ask what is D-16's story, but what is Orion Pax's story? Does he have friends or does he believe deep down he isn't worthy of a friend? Considering he always smiles and appears to be happy, but is probably battling his own insecurities. And I might be thinking too deeply, but what if D-16's comment on calling Orion Insignificant brought back memories for Pax? Yes, Optimus admits he was hurt & said it was silly to be upset over it, but to Orion, it must've hurt more than anything, to know it came from the ONE mech he truly considers a friend.

There's just a lot to uncover with both D-16 & Orion, and I might be thinking too hard cause I am a chaotic mess craving angst, but I can't help it, lol.

This brings a smile to my face tysm

Most of the stuff I draw are timeline ambiguous so you can see it as before the time Jazz arrived. Even if it's after though, Jazz is not so heavily involved in Orion's daily life that he'd have a spot here, similar to how Elita isn't present in Dee's piece.

How I'd describe Jazz and Orion's friendship, they're good friends, Jazz was probably the one that catered to Orion's shenanigans the most, that's why Orion considers him his bestest friend. They sort of grew up together and they were a group, Orion has not met this group of friends/family since he's become an Apprentice. Jazz is here, somehow earning a talk with Nexus and claiming an Apprentice spot, because he wanted to look out for Orion. He did everything to there for Orion.

Orion left his community behind but he's here for a reason, I want to slowly reveal everything in time. Regarding his thoughts during this time, the hurt over "Insignificant" is actually super minor to him. He's no longer hurting, he listened and he switched up his behaviour to do better by D. I've almost yet to be able to write a comic about it urghhhhhh there's so much stuff to do.

I wouldn't say Orion has any of those insecurities, he's just curious and a bit too focused on himself to notice how he makes people feel. He has trouble making friends in the new fancy place and that's why you don't see him with other people. D's not the first person he sneaked up on to say hi and you can imagine why most wouldn't appreciate that.

Worry not tho! He'll make more friends as the story goes on!
