Your boss can be friends with you, but you can't be friends with your boss.

Perfect example of different expectations of different societal roles. Considering everyone a friend is the quality of a good leader, it demonstrates affinity and empathy to the people of which he leads, but at that level no one can ever consider him a friend back, at least not on an equal degree. There's no closeness, no real camaraderie. The position of Prime always takes precedence over any personal relationships. He is a Prime before he is his own person.

This is also the reason why I think Optimus can never go back to being Orion. Why an ending for Optimus as the retired common citizen is never an option. He's been exalted as a political/spiritual symbol for four million years, used to a position of power, it's not something he can simply renounce one day and expect people's perceptions to change. It's not even possible to change his own perceptions of himself, however much he might like to. You just can't erase four million years of ingrained mindset. He will be viewed as a threat to those in power and undermine their presence just by existing. People will flock to him regardless whether he wants it or not. On a personal level, he's never been the kind of peaceful obedient citizen who takes comfort in trying to live a normal life. Giving up being Prime means giving up control: he will never be content to pasture himself out and wait for other people to make decisions for him when the next crisis arises. He will never be content to have his words hold no weight when he speaks out against the next injustice.

Being Prime is not just a job, it's an identity. One that's defined by four million years of experience in a niche societal role with very specific expectations, of which he'd molded himself to fit. It's a lonely, crushing burden, associated with war and the old order and the question of whether one person should even have that kind of power - but for good or bad it's also a part of him. Taking that away would be truncation, not freedom.

#idw transformers #optimus prime #maccadam #transformers #I think it's as impossible for Optimus to go back to being Orion as Shockwave is to go back to being Senator Shockwave #Or as Megatron the tyrant is to going back to being the Megatron in Maccadam's #There's mindsets you can't undo #experiences you can't unlive #People like that in real life rarely retires peacefully of their own violation #Those that do eventually comes to regret it #Because relinquishing your power also means relinquishing agency over your own life #it's the kind of life that seems beautiful in theory but would be stifling in reality

saved to post once everyone has seen it - but they were doing some insane world-bending to allow sam to play luc. it was hilarious, don't get me wrong, but I truly believe there's no universe in which caleb endangers veth's child for the sake of his teenage rebellion, not a goddamn chance, not when he remembers so clearly how vulnerable and impressionable people are at that age. and against trent ikithon of all people!!!! and without veth knowing!!!! when luc was killed, KILLED under both their watch when he was a toddler!!!!! (not even getting into luc's age, lmao, sam knows he's meant to be 12 at the absolute oldest, idk why they fudged that so much??)

#critical role #critical role london #the mighty nein reunited: echoes of the solstice #echoes of the solstice #the mighty nein #caleb widogast #veth brenatto #luc brenatto #i knowww they had to scrimp and save on canon to fit everything in a live show #but there were a few parts that had me like 🤨🤨🤨 #like....wym fjord proposed out of nowhere when he and jester seemed sort of fed up w each other in uk'otoa unleashed #wym caleb transformed into a white dragon for the boss fight AGAIN and did nothing AGAIN #(and against trent..........yike) #retire the nein. they've earned it and so have we

this is redraw of Ariel Diazes’ lovely Miss Meow No.1 cover! in a moment of brilliant word association—my mind immediately went meow meow Megatron and now here we are

So. Much. Pink.

on a more serious note, when prowl and optimus finally get together, optimus is actually terrified of the fact that he at a point, lost his temper and physically punched prowl. prowl doesn't care, if you asked prowl, he think he deserved it. in fact, he knows he did. he isn't attempting to be something he isn't.

but optimus reflects on it every so often and hates himself for it. many people will tell him he did the right thing, but he grapples with the fact that he put his hands on someone he loves. someone much weaker and smaller than him.

prowl isn't innocent, he knows he isn't. it's just, optimus hates the fact that he was capable of resorting to such violence toward a friend at that time, and now his conjunx. The words he used 'you made me do this'...there's a terrifying ache in him that wonders if he's capable of that again. if he'll let his temper get to him again.

it's something he struggles with, but to chase it away he just shows prowl how much he loves him. he never lifts a hand of violence against him again.

#this is in my 'retired prowl au' that I'm writing #where prowl leaves and optimus happens to bump into him again #prowl transformers #optimus prime

AU where Dougal is a Werewolf

I have not watched TFA yet, but you can't tell me that Ratchet doesn't look like a grumpy old medic constantly standing around in the shortest shorts I've ever seen with thigh high boots-

I saw your cyberverse posts (absolutely hilarious) and i just have to ask. 1. Have you seen the 2 specials that are the series finale. 2. Thoughts on them

I'm glad you enjoyed them :D

And I did! I made a post with my reactions for the first one; as for the second, I had too many feelings to capture, heh.

To expand on some of those feelings, though, it was really lovely to see Decepticons and Autobots living in peace by the end, finally freed from the shackles of past hatred. Cyberverse did a really good job of making me love a lot of characters at once, so I'm glad that...uh...almost all of them get a happy ending! (also i love any time optimus gets to peacefully retire ;u;)

Man, this show had such a rocky start, but on the bright side, that inadvertently gave me more time to grieve and let go of my own TF entrypoint, so that I could enjoy Cyberverse more fully!

#maybe in op's retirement he can see a specialist for the broken lighting on his bottom lip lol #transformers cyberverse #transformers #maccadam #cant wait to continue losing my mind over earthspark #the-terriblelizard #ask

been almost 3 yrs and i am still struggling with the whole mikachi first meeting thing. bye

#for zl its something simple. i just saw cute fanart of it with another ship [ p sure it was someones 2 ocs ] and enjoyed the idea #i lost my black umbrella irl but tbf it doesnt really matter because i always fucking forget to bring it anyways. so sometimes i get caught #in the rain. so idk zl lends me his umbrella bc. fuck! heading in the same direction and is like hey loser . . let me help you . . #cue immediate heart eyes bc handsome stranger helped her. like Wow Yuo Are So Cool... ♡ #afterwards she mentions this interaction to her friend [ yun jin or hu tao .. unsure but they are both so silly so its hard 2 decide ] and #then they are like wait i know that grandpa you're talking about! let me set you up lalala theres this whole thing i'm lazy #i'll write about it Maybe bc i do want to write for my platonic f/os. and also cover all the [ firsts ] in my self ships #its just: i don't like feeling obligated to stick to things (like a series or theme or whatever) so maybe not. would be nice though.. #nobody in this world is allowed to laugh at me i'll die #as for childe my plan was he breaks into her house and then shes like wtf who r u?!! they make eye contact and kiss + get married asap #no actually i truly dont know. zl's is slightly easier because he lives a mortal life. just chills #has connections with a lot of the liyue chars. literally just enjoying his retirement era now #ajax doesn't have many connections ( other harbingers but they dgaf about each other i think x ) and i just cant imagine that. idk #just fucking. bumping into him would lead to anything. maybe i should turn into a fish and have him fish me up and then i transform into a #girl and then we fall in love what do you guys think (losing my grip on humanity) #💭 #mika ♡ ajax #mika ♡ zhongli

So like, RL Belos is queer, and since his curse is a wolf (with some catlike elements) - an animal with fur - that makes him a furry fruit.

@maquiscursed said: even the sky looks like it’s behind glass. (from alhaitham, for when your brain has rested <;3)

Time stretches to the infinite without ever growing thinner. Xiao has time to ponder such things now, finds his thoughts turning to the nonsensical in an attempt to escape both the past and future. Time moves on unchanged, but it takes from them, takes until only husks remain. He once believed most of his memories from ‘before’ lost to the void – falsely so, as he has since realized. Sitting in the meadow where long ago fluttering fabrics would twirl around yaksha inulging in innocent dance, Xiao finds that truth will never be quite true. Maybe this is why Alhaitham’s query elicits little more than a curious glance from him.

Craning his neck, he looks up at the sky. It seems unchanged to him, but he knows better than to accept his perception as anything other than a flawed impression. “Who says that it isn’t?” He tilts his head to the side just so. “I’ve seen both too much and too little of this world. I have no interest in exploring its secrets, but you’re a scholar, aren’t you? If you’re prepared to seek answers, I don’t see why you couldn’t.” Though of course there are countless reasons why he shouldn’t. Many have paid a steep prize for attempting to peer behind the veil, and yet, if Xiao has learned anything, it is that choices are always both right and wrong. It’s not his soul that must pay the price; not after all that he's endured.
