what tragedies have you witnessed.

Good day, may I ask you a question. How did everybody found out abt thirteen primes and all that jazz? Like, I don't think Alpha Trion just leaves his book around (it'll give away his identity as of prime), but I don't believe he also would tell this himself (cuz, it'll do the same). And how did people know names of the fallen and other of primes yet never connected Alpha Trion with them?

Some of the other Primes may have been on Cybertron for a while, so one of them could have slipped the stories perhaps.

Alpha Trion was thought to maybe be a Prime in Transformers Exodus, but the thing was, no one really believed in the myths of the Primes. So they thought the stories about that old dude in the library were silly haha

I wasn't able to read Exodus throughly before. Only parts and bits, but I recently started reading it from the very start and oh my god. It is painful to see how avoidable the two brothers' falling out was. I can understand Optimus' guilt better now. He too probably spent the last 4 millions just thinking about how easily all this bloodshed and carnage could have been avoided. If both Megatron and Orion acted a bit differently during the meeting with the high council, everything could have been sooo much different. Man... I have a weak spot for "tragic and avoidable fall out of two brothers trope" don't I?

None of my friends are into TF lore, sorry for nerding out at you :(

...It really could have been avoided, but both were kind of holding the 'Idiot Ball' and couldn't say the right thing in order to quell the situation.

In TFP, Ratchet does give a rather biased, quite one-sided, retelling of how the war started and the ultimate fallout between Optimus and Megatron. You can chalk it up to bias simply because of how much Ratchet cares and respects Optimus, but I think in terms of the writing of the show, Megatron's ultimate backstory and how he felt didn't really matter because he already violated the Geneva Convention ten times over at that point. He's a mass murderer, a genocidal maniac. Why would the viewers care about his complete backstory?

But in TF Exodus, it really does explore the multiple perspectives happening before the war starts and doesn't make everyone so black and white.

Megatron has known violence. It's his weapon. It's his comfort. It's his safety. It's all Megatron has really known. And being a miner given the name of 'D-16' shows that the system was just going to easily replace him when he died. I don't even think that he was allowed out of the mines. I think there was one line of dialogue from one of the many books published in the Aligned Continuity where it says Megatron only saw the sun once before he was forced underground. He watched people like him around him die violently. He was most likely abused and oppressed along with anyone else who tried to speak out. Being a gladiator, was a benefit for him. It was a way for Megatron to move up from his station, to find comfort in violence, to find value in violence. There was a great quote by Megatron that said something along the lines of "As we killed out opponents in the ring, we found value in death" or something to that degree. He became a champion. He inspired the masses. He gave a lot of lower caste citizens a voice, and protected them from those who wanted nothing more than to keep the status quo. He makes sure he's not ignored, even renaming himself after the 13 original Primes. A miner turned gladiator called 'Megatronus'? How could they ignore that?

Meanwhile, Orion Pax...is the equivalent of a middle class, privileged white boy. Sure, Orion didn't have the same luxuries as his friend Jazz, and he could very well get in trouble if he analyzed and called into question the historical text he was coming across, but he was safe. He was secure. He didn't experience violence or oppression the same way Megatron did. While Megatron wanted to change the caste system in order to make the lives of people like him better, Orion initially wanted to do it because he wanted to go to a Cybertronian amusement park because he wasn't aloud to go due to his status. Hell, I think Orion only got lucky to serve under Alpha Trion because he's the supposed reincarnation of Thirteen: the Prime who's name was omitted from the Covenant of Primus.

Still Orion does gain a better understanding and is even willing to go to Kaon to talk directly to Megatron. Orion craved knowledge, and he wants a better understanding of the world around. Despite coming from a place of safety and even ignorance, Orion wanted to learn. I think that's what ultimately drew Megatron into trusting Orion and welcoming him into the fold to a degree. Their relationship was hope that the caste system could be destroyed and Cybertron would change for the better. Megatron believe through force and revolution, Orion believes through peace talks. (Literal reflection of Eren and Armin but I digress)

But Orion is still holding onto that state of ignorance while Megatron is holding onto using violence as a means for change. So when they get to the council, everything just falls apart! Because Megatron is believing in violence, and he's making his case of a violent revolution to the council. And Orion sees that this isn't going to end well, so he steps in so he can protect Megatron. But as the crowd is cheering Orion on, there's a brief line in the book where Orion turns to Megatron and he doesn't look happy at all. But instead of calling it quits and realizing this is making Megatron upset, the Council offers him the title of Prime, and Orion just accepts it there. Doesn't even give himself a few days to think about it or even say no. He just accepts it without thinking and Megatron is pissed.

And I agree with Megatron. I'd be pissed too! Because Megatron was warned about Orion by Soundwave. Don't trust Orion. Don't welcome him into the fold. And Megatron didn't listen. He wanted to trust Orion, but this tiny, little archivist, who knew nothing of the energon spilt and the lives lost throughout the lower caste, who knew nothing of the pain of loss, swoops in and takes what Megatron has been working so hard for. He's angry. He's betrayed. And he's resorting back to the use of violence because he let himself deviate from that and it cost him. And it ultimately results in Halogen's life.

And Orion, now Optimus, can't talk to Megatron anymore because he didn't think at how bad his decision would look in front of his brother. Again, he was holding the 'Idiot Ball' for someone who's trying to analyze data for a living! And the guilt Optimus no doubt felt after words. He no doubt felt that he was responsible for the war. Maybe if he had just said no, maybe the war wouldn't have gotten this far.

It's a tragedy. It's a Greek tragedy if I ever heard one.

Although, this also all could have been prevented if Alpha Trion wasn't a secretive asshole all the time and did a better job at being a Prime, instead of at most, getting Orion and Megatron that meeting with ultimately started the war. Which may have already been written down prior to the meeting, which means Alpha Trion had future vision to a degree, and could have really tried to STOP IT!

And the nerding out was fun. I enjoyed it. Sometimes I like enjoying certain complexities that could have happened in the Transformers Prime show, other times, I just like seeing Megatron be a dumb bitch.

went to the comic shop for NORMAL NOT GAY REASONS and came away with comics i wasnt even expecting to find. im very normal abt this i swear. also bf took a pic of me when i wasnt paying attention. again im normal abt this

By transposing the local gravity field of the weapon's barrel from the its Y to its Z axis, the projectile can effectively fall in whatever direction the gun is pointing for completely silent operation!

You may be wondering how this can be done without any energy consumption that could be easily detected by enemy surveillance. This effect is achieved with space magic, no further questions.

Read Exodus earlier, just found out that:

Optimus Prime was sort of idolized by the clerks in the Hall of Records during the war, a sort of zero to hero inspiration for them and an occupational pride.

Ironhide was skeptical of Optimus Prime's leadership before the war destroyed his hometown, Praxus. He became one of the former's most ardent supporters and along with Jazz, acted as Optimus' closest advisors.

The war, as all wars, quickly turned into a war of resources, especially fuel. The situation was so dire that some factories had to cease operation. On another occasion, a loyal city sacrificed their energon supply for the war effort (this is actually very dark because it means they starved themselves).

Very early into the war, both sides really fought for the industrialists' support.

Decepticons had a winning streak early on due to air superiority, but when that was withdrawn, the Autobots won in more and more occasions due to... I think better technology, professional soldiers, more cash, and an upper hand in terms of fuel after Kalis. Remember, they're the state. But the table was turned once more shortly after with the siege on Iacon.

Alpha Trion still called Optimus "Orion Pax" at times and thought of him as "Orion Pax" out of habit.

I actually do like his design here too bad he's stuck in the worst plot I've ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes upon

A Dragon’s Loot

Alpha Dragon Hybrid Male x Omega Male Reader (CW: Non-con, breeding, biting, claiming, dragon man, inhuman genitals, a/b/o, knotting, overstimulation, musk/pheromones, kidnapping, general yandere behavior, ass eaten like it’s groceries, male reader) Word Count: 2.5k (I am so so so so sooooooo incredibly sorry that this took so long, it may not be my best work but I really did try. This was not beta read so please excuse any errors. This is for a trade with @reiyn02.)

 The city you were living in had been almost entirely abandoned. It had walls, but was never made for a large siege, and those walls would be useless with enemies that were airborne anyway.. So the news that your town was next on the war path to be raided by the dragon hybrid forces sent everyone scrambling. But there was no help for those that had no family to help them and were otherwise too burdensome to relocate.  And included in that small category was yourself. You were a male omega going through an extremely rough heat, you were in a significant amount of pain without anyone to assist you and were simply too distracting to travel with others.  So instead of leaving among the guarded mass exodus you had boarded up your small abode the best that you could, using what little strength and willpower you had moving all your heaviest furniture to block the windows and door, before you tucked yourself away in a small hidden crawl space in the wall, behind the closet.  You had even lit candles, incense, and rubbed herbs all around the house earlier in the day to hide your scent as much as it could be hidden, and it was nearly undetectable to your sensitive omega nose. With a little luck you would go unnoticed by the monstrous drakes that wanted to loot and destroy everything in their path.    You had been waiting in your hiding space for several hours, you were burning up and your muscles ached from being so cramped for so long. You were beginning to let yourself believe that it had all been one giant false alarm, that the dragon men had decided to go back home or even raid another settlement instead.  But then you heard a series of thunderous crashes. Judging from the noise the dragons had decided to crash the walls despite them certainly not needing to. After the falling of the walls you could hear the cacophony of draconic roars and cheering, the splintering of wood and the crack of stone as they broke into homes, and the stomp of their mighty feet as they stampeded all through the city.  You had prayed that your meager building in a clearly poorer part of town would not draw attention, but you knew that was a long shot. And sure enough you soon heard stomps near your building before the sound of your door and makeshift barricade being brought down met your ears.  Then you could hear the sounds of someone going through all of your possessions, you doubted they would find anything of value, but they were meticulous. Slowly you heard them get closer until finally they were inspecting the room you were holed up in.  They searched every inch of the room and the closet but they did not find you. You burned with anxiety and your heat but it seemed like whoever the invader was was finally satisfied. You heard them head towards the door, finally you would be safe.  But the soldier caught a whiff of something just as he was heading out of the room. It was tantalizing and beckoned him to investigate further. He did not know what it was exactly, but it caused his cock to twitch a bit in his leather armor.  Dread filled your veins as you heard him sniffing the air and taking steps back towards the closet. You did your best to hold your breath and calm down, as panicked pheromones would serve only to make your scent more detectable.  But it was no use, once he caught the smell of a fearful omega in heat there was nothing to be done. He still was not consciously aware of what the smell was, but on some primal level he knew.  The draconic invader stuffed his head and upper body into the closet as his sniffing became louder and deeper. He tapped the wall with a claw and discovered it was hollow. It was over, he had found your crawl space. The false wall was easily moved aside as you frantically scooted as far back into the shadows as you could.  But the scent of your heat cycle was overwhelming to him now with the false wall removed, and even if your pheromones were not a dead give away dragon hybrids had excellent low light vision and with his head now peering into your hideout he could see you clearly.  A large claw tipped hand, covered in hard scales, reached in and easily plucked you right out. As you were unwillingly pulled into the light you got a look at the intruder for the first time.  He was huge, at least 9 feet tall, all hulking muscle under light leather armor which struggled to contain his vast, intimidating, form. And his large white scaled wings and tail only served to make him look even larger. Scales also covered both his hands and legs and both ended in claws as well. He had long white hair and sharp silver horns.  The dragon stared at you with cold icy blue eyes as you tried to struggle out of his grasp, clawing, biting, and thrashing wildly in every direction. You scratched his face and managed to draw some blood but he only responded by chuckling deeply as he grabbed your hand and used his long tongue to taste his bleeding claw mark.  “Hahaha, a feisty little omega aren’t ya!? This is the first house I get to pillage and I already found the best loot in the whole damn city!” He chuckled again before pressing his nose to your neck and inhaling deeply.  “Mmm~, all nice and in heat for me too. I bet you wanted to be found, everyone knows all dragon hybrids are alphas.”  What he said was true, the magic anomaly that first fused drake and man produced hybrids that were all 100 percent alphas, and when they managed to raid human settlements they always took an opportunity to snatch up omegas to breed. But you were left with no other option but to stay and hide.  The smell of your heat cycle was very compatible with him so it, combined with the excitement of the invasion and finding such a cute prize, was driving him into a frenzy. He simply could not wait to have you. He put you down in the nest you had made for yourself on the floor in the corner of the room and easily ripped apart your clothing as you thrashed and cried.  “Calm down baby boy, this will feel great I promise. My name is Draven by the way, just so you know who’s name you will need to moan when you are on my knot~ It’s okay if you can’t find the words to tell me what your name is right now, I can just learn it later.”  Tears were streaming down your face as you looked up and pleaded desperately, “No, please, no, no, no, please, take anything you want just pleas let me go!”  But as he expertly removed his armor and you saw as well as smelled his arousal you knew there was no chance to escape your imminent rape. Even so you continued your pleading sobs and covered your nakedness with a blanket, as if a mere piece of fabric could protect you from the muscular man towering before you.  Draven entered your nesting space, a severe violation to any omega, and easily took the blanket from you. You closed your legs tight and tried to smack him away but he just let out another chuckle.  “Sorry babe, but I need to appraise all of my new property don’t you think?”  And when you gave him the best kick you could right to his nose and caused the barest drop of blood to fall from his nostril it only encouraged him. He donned an excited grin and a deeply unsettling look in his eyes.  “Damn I struck the jackpot!!! Such a lively mate! I can tell we are going to make a ton of strong children together~”  You tried to kick him again, but he caught your ankle and held down your leg, then he held down the other before sliding both to your soft thighs. Draven then gently prodded your nuts with his nose and inhaled deeply. Your scent was divine to him. And he was now fully convinced you were his soulmate. You were in heat and left just for him to find, you were nice and lively and not overly submissive, and your scent was the best thing he had ever smelled.  But while he was losing himself in your pheromones you were nearly gagging on his. The overwhelming smell of an aroused draconic alpha so close to you would have made your eyes water had you not already been crying. It was far stronger than any human alpha you had met and you were not at all accustomed to such a stench, even if it did make you produce more slick. But you were in heat, so the smell of any aroused alpha would have done that.  “Please stop, I don’t want this. I don’t want this. Please…”  “Calm down, just enjoy it, you’re in heat and this will make you feel better if you just let it.”  Draven continued just enjoying your smell for what seemed like an eternity, with you powerless to push him away, but even after a perceived eternity it was nowhere near a long enough wait for what happened next. He spread your slick coated cheeks and licked your entrance free of delicious slick before eagerly slipping his large tongue in your ass.  You shuddered and moaned involuntarily, hands grasping at the bedding beneath you, as the thick muscle moved surprisingly deep inside you. Draven’s tongue was covered with a torrent of more and more of your juices as he continued.  When he finally withdrew himself from you you were a whimpering, drooling mess. You still wanted him to stop, but your body was definitely betraying you under all the stimulation, you were even starting to become less averse to his musk.  Draven kissed your hole tenderly a few times before repositioning the two of you so that he was on his knees and your ass was pointing up towards his long slimy draconic cock.  “Pl-please no…”, you barely managed to mumble coherently as you stared at the wall. Unable to look up and meet his intimidating gaze.  But once again what you wanted did not really matter. All that mattered was what both your bodies craved and the fact that he wanted to follow his urges and was strong enough to get what he wanted.  The dripping slick that was already once more seeping from your hole, combined with the deep massages provided by Draven’s talented tongue, allowed his prick to slide into you to the base effortlessly.  “Uh… uhhh~”, you couldn’t help but moan as he filled you up so completely, his cock felt even hotter than your insides and the texture of it was like it was custom designed for the sole purpose of pleasing little needy human omegas.  “Heh, not quite my name yet, but we’ll get you there soon enough~”  You really wanted to doubt what he was saying was true, but at the rate things were going you had to admit to yourself that he was probably right. You did not want to give him the satisfaction of hearing your pleasured cries of his name fall from your lips, but everything he was doing felt so amazing and you were losing yourself in your heat and the over stimulation of mating with such a strong and virile alpha.  Draven began greatly increasing the pace at which he was breeding his new cumpdump, his cock creating a faint outline in your belly each time he bottomed out within your slippery depths. Your pleasure induced writhing and squirming around his cock absolutely pushed him over the edge and his fat knot swelled inside of you as he pumped you full of cum.  He was not done yet though, he had not made you cum or heard the delicious sound of you moaning out for him.  While still stuck on his knot Draven picked you up and held you close, where you were much closer to his overpowering pheromones, and began fucking you all over again.  You felt his knot rub up against your insides as he sped up even more than before. He was desperate to hear you submit to him by moaning his name, then he would leave his permanent claim mark on you. The powerful alpha used one hand to hold you close as he began jerking off your dick.  The combination of being so enveloped in alpha scent, thoroughly fucked, and also receiving a handjob had you yearning for release. You began sobbing from the overwhelming mixture of sensations.  Instinctively seeking your climax you grinded into his hand as he bounced you on his knot.  “Dr-Draven!”, you finally called out as you came into his hand.  “See? That wasn’t so hard was it baby boy?” He lifted his hand up to his lips and licked your seed from his fingers before pressing his lips to yours, sliding his tongue in so that you tasted your own flavor on him.  You whimpered into the kiss before he broke it and licked and sucked your neck before biting down hard on the scent gland in your neck. In a mixture of pleasure and pain you let out a choked cry.  After he marked you he carefully pressed his lips to the wound and licked it clean before kissing your forehead softly.  “Such a perfect little mate for me~”  You wanted to claw at him again but you were so exhausted, and it would do you no good since you were still stuck on his knot. And by this point his smell was strangely comforting to you. Maybe it was a side effect of being marked or maybe it was a biological defense that omegas had when being mated so they did not succumb to depression, you didn’t know.  At any rate you figured you could scratch him up later, because as the pain in your freshly bitten neck subsided you became increasingly aware of just how tired you were. You allowed yourself to relax against his muscular chest and fall asleep in his arms as you let his pheromones and his gentle touches subdue you.  Draven held you close, he figured he would give you some sleep for a few hours before the raid was over and his kind returned to their homeland. He was sure you would love living with him, he would give you his knot every chance he got, keep you covered in lovely bite marks, and make sure you felt nice and safe in your new nest.  You were his prized possession, the crown jewel of his hoard, and just like any other item in the hoard of a territorial dragon, you would never leave.

Here are a few drarry eight year fic recs that are less than 10k words. Posted in alphabetical order, as always.

All I Have to Do by @fluxweeed [9k]

The Patented Daydream Charm (Adult Edition) allows you to enter a top-quality, highly realistic thirty-minute sexual fantasy. Solitude and privacy spells advised. or: Draco finally has some alone time; Harry just needs to nip in for a book.

All We Want Is Danger by @cassiaratheslytherpuff [9k]

Something weird was happening to Draco. It wasn’t something Harry was used to being concerned about. He’d spent most of sixth year sure that Draco was up to something, yes, but this was different. This was – something was off. Wrong. Harry had never in his life been scared of Draco. And yet, something about him had changed enough to make the hair rise on the back of Harry’s neck every time he entered a room. The feeling was only made stranger by the rush of arousal that usually came along with it.

Alpha by @lqtraintracks [2k]

Finding out I’m Malfoy’s Alpha and he’s my Omega might have gone a lot differently had we not still hated each other. But we do, so here’s how it goes

Aurora by @wolfpants [5k]

Eighth Year at a half-built Hogwarts, and Harry is not following Draco Malfoy anymore. At least, that's what he's telling himself.

Awake in the Night by venis_envy [2k]

H/D Post war, eighth year Hogwarts.

Back to You by aibidil & daisymondays [8k]

The eighth years make Harry and Malfoy go head to head and back to back in a question-and-answer drinking game. The worst that can happen is they end up drunk, right?

Bare Feet, Giant Squid, and One Perfect Moment by bryoneybrynn [4k]

Gryffindor may be the House of the brave but Harry’s feeling a bit nervous. It’s one thing to face a dragon or a Dark Lord. It’s quite another to make a move on the bloke who’s been your nemesis for the last eight years…

Brandishing The Wand by @ladderofyears [2k]

When four Eighth Year boys overhear Draco and Harry having sex in the dormitory bathroom, each jumps to a very erroneous conclusion.

Checking out the Opposition by birdsofshore [6k]

Harry and Draco seem quite wound up after their latest game of Quidditch.

The Comfiest Armchair by @xanthippe74 [2k]

In which Harry and Draco won’t stop fighting over the best armchair in the Eighth-Year common room, Hermione takes matters into her own hands, and Harry sees a (ahem) side of Draco that he’s never seen before.

Empty Nights by  winterstorrm [4k]

Draco and Harry have had this ‘thing’ for months now. It’s ‘just sex’ though, right?

Erase the Shame by FleetofShippyShips [6k]

An Inter-House unity party is the last thing Draco wants to go to. It's not long into a game of Truth or Dare when he is reminded why. But maybe his dare is worth it after all.

Flutter by @shiftylinguini [4k]

Being back at Hogwarts is not what Harry expected, and neither is what’s going on between himself and Malfoy, but it feels good, and that? Well, that’s what Harry’s chasing this year. Amid the rebuilding of the school and the budding relationships of the other students at Hogwarts in spring, Harry finds that the flutter of change and the new feelings it brings are exactly what he wants ― and more.

Games Night by @agentmoppet [6k]

Harry has no idea why Hermione decided that an inter-house Games Night would be a good idea, but he’s here now, and he intends to beat Malfoy, no matter what game he chooses. But, who would have thought muggle games could be full of so much... tension?

A Ghost of Blissful Feelings by @alpha-exodus [6k]

Harry hadn’t expected to spend his eighth year fucking Draco Malfoy, but it’s the only thing that helps him let go.

A Good Place to Start by JET_Playin [2k]

Harry is finding 8th year rather dull until he goes to visit Hagrid and ends up helping him deliver Draco Malfoy’s baby. Now he has to protect Malfoy and keep his secrets and he might just be falling a little in love with both Malfoys just to complicate matters.

Good to Me (And I’d Be So Good to You) by AWickedMemory [8k]

Everyone returns to Hogwarts after the war, but nothing is quite the same. Harry’s groupies are creepier than ever, Ron and Hermione are snogging all over the place, and the once-proud Draco is shuffling around like a kicked puppy. But that’s okay: Harry’s got a plan.

Grow by @shiftylinguini [3k]

There’s an abandoned greenhouse, right at the back of the lot. There are unruly trees, and snagged brambles, and the grass is long and lush. It feels like the Forest, but tamer somehow, and Draco likes it. It feels like the spot where the castle meets the wild, or where the wild is trying to creep back in. There’s something mildly thrilling about it at night, the potential for danger, for something to look back at Draco as he stares into the dark, lush woods. Draco’s always loved that feeling.   This is where they meet.

Jump Into the Fog by taradiane [9k]           

Draco returns to Hogwarts for his eighth year carrying a secret that will change not just his life, but Harry’s as well.

Of the Heart's Fullness and Of the Coming Emptiness by tout a coup [9k]

Harry Potter is nineteen, and he's already peaked.

An Old Habit by fireflavored [8k]

The boys have changed a lot over the summer after the war, but Harry hasn’t got over the urge to spy on Malfoy. 

A Pain of Our Choosing by @lqtraintracks [5k]

It’s 8th year and everyone’s still a bit messed up. Harry and Draco fall into being messed up together.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kneazles by curiouslyfic [1k]

Harry sort of comes back to the world to the sound of sniffling, which strikes him as odd.

Room for Improvement by acromantular [2k]

Malfoy’s family-rehabilitation project is going so well. But is Potter worth risking all his hard work?

Sexplanations (Of the Horrible Sort) by @bixgirl1 [7k]

Harry’s willing to put up with a certain amount of injury, as long as he and Malfoy can keep doing… whatever it is they’re doing. Maybe. Mostly. Especially if there might be more to it than sex. Based on a tumblr headcanon.

Snug by @moonflower-rose [6k]

Potter can’t keep his hands off himself. Draco can’t look away.

Sores by mijeli [3k]

It’s been going on for weeks. They don’t talk about it.

Speechless by mayberry_rose [6k]

In which Draco can’t speak, and Harry learns to listen.

Starting Positions by @bixgirl1 [8k]

Later, Harry would wonder if Malfoy regretted that first, surprised mutter after three days of hard-pointed silence. Later, Harry would wonder about his own lack of regret over looking up when he heard Malfoy’s voice. But that would come after everything had already happened, the way events always seemed to, when even a Time-Turner couldn’t change things. The shape of a path, as Harry knew very well by then, once walked, was a lot like a paper crane — unfolded and pressed flat, you could try to fashion it into something different, but the original creases would always remain.

Storm in a Teacup by @faith2wood [7k]

For reasons he’d rather not think about, Draco is obsessed with Potter’s hair. This cannot end well.

swallow your words by icarusinflight [9k]

The truth is, not many things are known about the magic that is behind soulmarks. They’ll turn up when they want and not before. The truth is, you don’t get a choice in your soulmark. The truth is, not everyone is okay with that.

This Heart Shut Wide by @xanthippe74 [4k]

It’s New Year’s Eve and Draco refuses to talk to anyone at this wretched party in the Eighth-Year common room. He’s going to ignore Harry Potter and not think about snogging him in the staircase earlier. And he’s definitely not going to let himself fuck up both their lives by continuing the reckless game they’re playing. As usual, nothing goes according to Draco’s plan.

Trouble with your tie, Potter? by @tenthousandyearsx​ [6k]

The last thing Harry expects when Slughorn partners him up with Zabini is Malfoy shooting them furious looks throughout the whole class and then unceremoniously snogging Harry in the corridor.

the Veela codec by curiouslyfic [3k]

Potter wants obvious. Draco wants Potter. Clearly, some sort of plan will be required.

What Potter Wants by birdsofshore [3k]

Harry definitely didn’t want to do that to Malfoy. Not at all. So why did Malfoy keep saying that he did?

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

Sexualization of Men on Tumblr make me feel... good?

Like, it's weird? I grew up on "Male Internet" so to speak. Spaces like 9gag, Reddit, funnyjunk. It was so goddamn horny for women. Well still are, just that some of them started to shift towards femboys now.

As I grew up, I kinda got lost about how I interact with women. Getting fed these weird culture war Boys vs Girls garbage does that. So, I do what every boy does, and ask your friends, both offline and online about how to actually interact with women. Well that went terribly, most advice was crap if I'm being honest. Not to mention the large amount of friggin doomers groaning about how horrifically high women's standards are about men. As a very anxious and depressed person, I obviously fell for this. For a long time I really did think only the most masculine guy was attractive to women. While I did leave that thought in my late teens, mostly due to being the one male in a group of women, it left a psychological scar. When I'd get depressed or was particularly vulnerable the thought would come in, and I'd feel like I wasn't masculine enough to ever be loved or wanted.

Nowadays that I'm on Tumblr instead of reddit due to the exodus, it feels kinda dumb that I ever felt that way? Tumblr is I guess very "female gaze" and it feels weiiiiiird as a guy that grew up in male dominated spaces. You guys post a lot of art, a lot of unfiltered thoughts on here and the thirst for guys is real. The funniest thing is, a lot of it is for well not the most manliest guys. Like if you asked me what women wanted, I would have said it'd be the annoying sigma/alpha male shit you see on reddit so much. But that's not what's here. There's so many types of guys you people are into and it is friggin amazing!!! I fucking love it here, I feel reminded that there's a huuuuuge spectrum of guys that women can be into and it is the BEST FEELING EVER!

It feels nice here, kinda like when I'm with my group of female friends, who just happen to be all a bunch of tumblr users. So idk, maybe I should have jumped a ship a long time ago.
