Remnants of the Wild
Orion had to adapt to live in the Cybertronian wilds. And while most of those adaptations faded with time, some things just stuck, even after he became Prime.
Feral Orion Pax
Despite how much Orion, and later Optimus might have glorified it, living in the Cybertronian wilds was no easy feat, especially for an unattended sparkling. The newly forged Orion Pax would have died from either starvation or natural hazards if left alone. But thankfully for Orion, he was picked up by a local pack of predators and raised to be capable of not only surviving but thriving in the wilds.
He spent his sparkling years feasting on the energon of hunted creatures alongside his mechanimal siblings and recharging tucked against the huddled frames of his pack. As he grew older and his frame came to be larger, he joined his adopted family on their excursions, hunting and learning the ways of the wilds. He was treated like any other newly forged youngling of his caretakers' species. As such he did what all sparklings do and bonded to his adopted family, his base coding changing his very CNA to better match theirs.
This meant that by the time he was grown and living in his own territory away from his pack of origin, he was truly a terrifying sight to behold.
He could have been mistaken for a rouge Predacon if it weren't for his very definitively Cybertronian helm and facial structure. His frame was huge, his plating colorless, jagged, and highly intimidating. His digits were long, clawed, and very obviously meant to tear prey to pieces and cut into tender protoform. His legs were unusually long, granting him both incredible mobility and a terrifying stride when in pursuit of a potential target. His optics were sharp and piercing, meant to catch even the slightest movement no matter the light or situation. And Lastly, Orion's mouth was filled with sharp serrated denta which gleamed threateningly when combined with low light conditions and the glow of his optics.
As one might have guessed, Alpha Trion left with his fair share of wounds when he found and promptly subdued Orion. After Alpha Trion took Orion in, he had to start from the very beginning when it came to Orion's education. Teaching him language, speech, basic manners, and other things a sparkling should have learned while slowly helping him acclimate to civilization. This took nearly a vorn, after which Alpha Trion spent a similar amount of time taking Orion to specialized therapists and doctors to help him lose some of his wilder traits.
After several vorns of teaching him and slowly reformatting his frame to something more civilized, Orion finally appeared and acted mostly normal...
Orion Pax
Most of the wild features that Orion retained were small, at least the physical aspects. His legs were still longer than average and his frame was still built to withstand just about anything. But this was easily dismissed as him being built as a combat class mech or having a sturdier frame type. As such the only things that stuck out on him physically were his still very much present fangs and clawed digits.
While not a problem in the archives since his appearance had long since become a normal sight, newcomers tended to shy away in fear upon meeting his predatory gaze for the first time. His social obliviousness did little to help him in those situations as for a long time he was unable to determine what was wrong. However his rather straight forwards perspective in social matters did allow him to make fast friends with just about anyone able to look past his appearance.
However it wasn't just a few physical differences that set him apart, it was his mentality. He had no qualms against eating the fauna of Cybertron if he was hungry and the opportunity presented itself. He would also tend to forget to speak when uncomfortable and revert to using body language and his EM field for communication. Animalistic sounds slipping out on occasion were also common alongside his habit of subconsciously sizing everyone up, flaring his plating to look larger.
Megatronus found it to be more adorable than intimidating.
Picking apart the weaknesses of those around him with an uncomfortably long stare was also something that tended to set his fellows on edge. His quiet but undoubtedly possessive behavior was also noted when he finally felt comfortable around his friends. Often he would get in-between others who he deemed dangerous and his "pack", doing his best to keep them safe. Even Megatronus who stood nearly a head taller than him was not exempt from Orion's overprotectiveness. And despite not being a very touchy feely individual, Orion always made sure his "pack" were well taken care of and loved.
Him leaving dead mechanimals on his friend's doorsteps or workstations was also something he did regularly until Ratchet informed him of how unsettling it was. He would also leave small markings on his "pack's" armor if he could get away with it. Often nothing more than a small scratch on the paint, a quiet declaration that they were under his protection. Small affectionate touches and near undetectable humming were also common ways for him to show how much he cared.
Of course after working alongside Megatronus, fighting in the war, and becoming Prime, a great many of these little habits and features faded.
Optimus Prime
After the Matrix's forced reformat, Optimus retained even less of his wild features. All that remained were subtle things, like his digits which were still slightly pointed, or his optics which seemed a little too piercing, and his denta which appeared to be sharper than they should be. Of course, his long limbs remained, but the Matrix hid their unusualness beneath a thick layer of armor that accentuated other parts of his frame, almost as though to draw attention away from the effects of his less-than-pure Cybertronian CNA.
His coding was also reworked, pushing him to give more attention to others and the welfare of Cybertron instead of his and his "pack's" survival. This in turn eliminated many of his previous habits, instead making way for diplomatic data, battle protocols, and the wisdom of the Primes. That is not to say his pack instincts have faded out entirely, no, they still remain, but they do require a reason for activation.
The only times he exhibits even slightly wilder traits are when those closest to him are in danger or in need of comfort and when the rush of battle grows to be too much.
During the former situation, before and after arriving to earth, his go-to method of protecting his family is to take the lead. He makes himself larger, more stoic, seemingly untouchable and eternally wise. He takes it upon himself to shoulder all their burdens and to be there, allowing his presence to make them feel protected and loved. The occasional song like humming that he may produce is too high pitched for most to hear, even for his fellow Cybertronians. But it does subconsciously make his family, and even the human children feel that much safer. He might also offer some comforting touches and words but usually he tries to help his family quietly, lest his mask of stoicism slip.
As for the latter situation, his self preservation has been nearly eliminated in the sense that Optimus no longer feels the need to preserve himself if it would benefit a greater cause. This conflicts with his wild base coding and can cause him to fall into a maddened rage if he feels his family is too threatened. He cannot flee as the Matrix and his Prime programming would never allow it, but his wild coding also refuses to let him roll over and accept death for himself or his family. As such he can fall into a berserker like rage when things get dire, his morals and everything outside of his need to eliminate the threat being pushed to the side.
He has long since learned to control this rage, but when it does happen Megatron does not even bother coming up with a good excuse and flees the battlefield. An Optimus who doesn't care, who isn't weighed down by morals and duty and only has the primal desire to tear his prey to pieces is not one who Megatron has any intention of messing with.
#transformers prime#feral orion pax#orion pax#tfp optimus prime#transformers ideas#this is almost an au#goodness I need to stop putting so much effort into my tumblr posts#I believe Optimus is possessive as pit and I accept no criticism on this front#yeah I can see him acting like he isn't#but the team are HIS people#he would totally keep tabs on those he views as his

I am not crazy! I know he swapped those streams. I knew it was half life vr ai. The rise of the science team. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the rtvs Team to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This bait and switch? He’s done worse. That Breaking Bad Vr But The AI is self aware! Are you telling me that a man just happens to be walter white? No! He orchestrated it! Wayne! He tricked the science teamers! And I watched him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own browser! What was I thinking? He’ll never be gordon again. He’ll never free man! Ever since he was 27, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the gmod! But not our Wayne! Couldn’t be precious Wayne! tricking us blind! And HE gets to be a streamer? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him!
#hlvrai#hl2vrai spoilers#hl2vrai#op#the science team rises#im not pissy i just thought t his would be funny#nor am i making fun of anyone who thought it would be hlvrai to be clear#or people who are sad its not

people think Batman is the vicious attack dog Superman has on a short leash. absolutely, incredibly wrong. Batman has Mr. “I love sunshine and save puppies from trees” on a leash that consists entirely of him saying “Kal” in a low tone because Superman can’t handle a perceived threat to Batman without absolutely losing it, red burning eyes and all.

okay so at first i thought tinky was wearing some sort of jacket with lots of pockets but after looking a little closer i realized that hes actually wearing a fuzzy button up with a UTILITY VEST on top
they've covered the reflective strip with fur and added rhinestones but im fairly certain this is the exact one. idk something about this detail is extremely funny to me.
#starkid#team starkid#npmd#nerdy prudes must die#tinky#t'noy karaxis#richie wearing a fishing vest everyday (shaking hands emoji) tinkys highschoolsona wearing a hi vis utility vest#anyways. i feel like i see people draw him in just a jacket a lot but i feel like we need to embrace how silly the vest is

so listen. we all know that if they ever made a tlt show it would be bad pretty much no matter what. so my pitch is let’s just give the project to steven moffat and see what he does with it. by the time he’s done we’ll have a show called “john” all about how tragically and manlily sad jod is and how you know what maybe imperialism is ok sometimes. tamsyn gets buckets of cash, some white guys get acting roles that they’ll regret the rest of their career, and i get a new hbomberguy video essay to rewatch every six months or so. someone call the fucking bbc ive solved this.
#as the great media critic hbomberguy said in his magnum opus ‘sherlock is garbage and here’s why’#about the sherlock teams attitude towards the art and craft of storytelling#‘it’s so disgustingly wrong on almost every level and so hateful towards people for expecting things to make sense […] that-#-it’s almost avant-garde’#and I just wanna see that mindset applied to my favorite work of fiction ever <3#op#tlt#tlt memes#the locked tomb

“Aside from TGWDLM (and a brief BF cameo), Ted Spankoffski has long hair and we as a fandom need to represent that more often within our fanworks, ” I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
“They’re right,” he says. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5th row stands: Joey Richter himself, with long hair.
#‘what’s your source that Ted has long hair’? you ask. Joey personally told me in a cameo /gen#am I really spreading propaganda if I’m speaking the truth?#Did I use to draw Ted exclusively with short hair? yes. Have I been enlightened since then? yes. I will lead this crusade if needbe#just remember if your drawing long haired ted with his hair down that you don’t draw it too long or it ends up as scrags#I had multiple people ask me why I draw ted with long hair that I resorted to making a diagram#ted spankoffski#theodore spankoffski#starkid#team starkid#starkid productions#starkid fanart#fanart starkid#time bastard#starkid time bastard#time bastard nightmare time#tgwdlm#tgwdlm starkid#tgwdlm fanart#the guy who didn't like musicals#the guy who didn’t like musicals fanart#hatchetfield ape man#Workin boys#nightmare time#hatchetfield nightmare time#nmt#hatchetfield#hatchetverse#hatchetfield universe#fanart#my art

Jason when Batman is here: I kill people and I don't care! I will kill as much as I want! Do you have a problem, old man?!
Jason when he is with the Outlaws: Can you guys try to not kill people? My father isn't a fan. Thank you.
-
Jason when he is with anyone from the Batfam: Fuck Batman. Fuck Bruce.
Jason when he is with the Outlaws: I want Da- Bruce to love me so bad.

Shang Qinghua is such a romance webtoon ass protagonist watch him get married to the Duke of the North for protection and tax reasons make his fief run so much better make everyone's life better make his expertise indispensable make his husband fall madly in love with him then worry about how he's getting divorced in 2 years cause their contract marriage end there and his gorgeous gorgeous husband having now filled the conditions and inherited his title as Lord of the northern lands will find a much higher status and prettier spouse the second the contract is over
Like Mobei Jun could even fonction as a person without Shang Qinghua like the organization of the North wouldn't completely fizzle out in a week if he took his eyes off it
#shang qinghua#mobei jun#moshang#svsss#my thesis is that mobei jun would fucking die without sqh like a very demanding plant in the wrong soil conditions#shang qinghua my dude you'll have to take this one for the team and stay with your very sexy demon forever#historical webtoon#he calls him “my king” like he's a gift from the heavens and the world end at their fief like theres no emperor or country to answer to lik-#-like there's no loyalty in him but for his lord husband#au#i guess#should i tag it#moshang au#or like#svsss au#idk which one is a tag people use so there goes both
