The main thing about IDW OP that I'm on my hands and knees begging people to understand is to actually treat him like a fucking character and give him the nuanced understanding that this fandom gives to other characters just fine. Like, I s2g the reason no one even talks about IDW OP is because at the first sign of him making mistakes or having a flawed worldview (you know, like a REAL PERSON and not a cartoon caricature) they instantly bail and go "zomg worst Optimus ever".
Like please for fuck's sake IDW1 is a story steeped in realism and moral grayness can you stop for ONE SECOND and realize that IDW OP being a little bit of an asshole or making big mistakes doesn't instantly make him the worst character ever and maybe take the time to actually read his story? B/c half the shit people say about IDW OP makes it obvious that they've only read MTMTE and LL (badly, might I add) and it annoys the shit out of me

I did more frames for this GIF so it’s a little smoother. I feel Globby’s pain on not getting a job after several interviews, but his reaction and what he has to say does make me giggle. Still, poor Globby. :(

OBLIGATORY “AUTHOR-DESPERATE-FOR-PREORDERS” POST:
So, from now until Jan 27, you can get 25% off all pre-orders by using the code PREORDER25 on the Barnes & Noble website. I’m gonna take advantage of this for a few books I want to snag, myself.
If you haven’t pre-ordered my book yet and want to, this is a great time to do it!
If you don’t know what my book is about, the TL;DR is that it centers a Black woman going on a fantastical journey she never planned for but at least she gets to deal with hot demons & dragons along the way.
The actual synopsis:
Jasmine Walters leads a simple life; she goes to work, comes home, and finds another sewing project to dive into on the weekends. But after a fateful encounter with a stranger, she learns that she’s destined for something greater than retail. Jasmine is the Prime—a human blessed by a magical Flame to act as arbitrator between the Hellenians and Draconians, two ancient races engaged in a diplomatic dispute that awards the victor access to the human realm. Leon Exousia, the newly crowned Hellenian High Lord, seeks her out in order to maintain the rights of the Flame for his people. But when Jasmine later meets the Draconians, what she uncovers will have her questioning everything she thought she knew about her role, and her weighty decision grows even more daunting than before. Is she only a tool, led by the strings of fate? Or will she be able to forge her own path? The answer lies at Mount Hyperion’s peak, where the soul of the Flame resides.
