Happy Birthday Lilia Vanrouge! 💚🌻🌺
Summary: Lilia leaves you speechless even in the dream world.
You felt a sigh involuntarily escape you. Malleus had shown up in the dream, but Lilia had woken up.
You knew you should be worried, but you couldn’t bring yourself to. Everything felt okay.
“I’ll give you a happy dream. What would you like? One with mother and father or one where you live peacefully with your son?”
Oh Malleus.
“You think you can take me on? You certainly can try~”
Okay, now I know where Malleus gets his brattiness from. That’s father and son for you.
You didn’t know if you felt exasperation or if you wanted to laugh.
“Okay everyone! Now we run!”
Now you couldn’t help but laugh as Lilia grabbed your hand on the way, pulling you along with a wink.
Yes, things were starting to feel alright again.
You knew Lilia was right. Only he could handle Malleus, but after spending so long trying to wake him up, you couldn’t blame everyone for hesitating.
Lilia was right though, Malleus would never hurt him. Playfully roughhouse as they always have done, but never truly hurt him.
“Father, let’s meet again. I have many things I want to talk to you about.”
I’m happy for you, Silver. You got to express yourself finally.
You fondly looked at the scene in front of you. Yes, you all would meet again. When this dream ended, when everything would be alright again.
“To the one I’ve met before,”
“Oh before I forget~”
Lilia turned to you with a grin, the dark red in his eyes surprising you.
He-
Only for him to pull you into a kiss.
The gasp you release only led him to deepen it.
“Meet in a Dream.”
He releases you with a kiss to the corner of your mouth, “Until we meet again, Dearest.”
That cheeky-
You couldn’t react before Silver’s Unique Magic engulfed you in pastel colors.
The floor collapsed beneath you.
Not me kicking and giggling while writing that last scene. 💞😫, I hope it made you all feel the same way 🫶💚

One of my favorite parts of phase 2 (and indeed one of the few moments I resonated with IDW Prowl) was when the neutrals were coming back to Cybertron and Prowl said that he refused to let Autobots be pushed aside and overruled after they were the ones who fought for freedom for 4 million years (the exact wording escapes me atm).
And I mean, that resentment still holds true even once the colonists come on bc like. As much as it's true that Cybertron's culture is fucked up, and as funny as it can be to paint Cybertronians as a bunch of weirdos who consider trying to kill someone as a common greeting not important enough to hold a grudge over.... The colonists POV kind of pissed me off a lot of times, as did the narrative tone/implications that Cybertronians are forever warlike and doomed to die by their own hands bc it just strikes me as an extremely judgemental and unsympathetic way to deal with a huge group of people with massive war PTSD and political/social tensions that were rampant even before the war?
Like, imagine living in a society rife with bigotry and discrimination where you get locked into certain occupations and social strata based on how you were born. The political tension is so bad there's a string of assassinations of politicians and leaders. The whole planet erupts into an outright war that leads (even unintentionally) to famine and chemical/biological warfare that destroys your planet. Both sides of the war are so entrenched in their pre-war sides and resentment for each other that this war lasts 4 million years and you don't even have a home planet any more. Then your home planet gets restored and a bunch of sheltered fucks come home and go "ewww why are you so violent?? You're a bunch of freaks just go live in the wilderness so that our home can belong to The Pure People Who Weren't Stupid And Evil Enough To Be Trapped In War" and then a bunch of colonists from places that know nothing about your history go "lol you people are so weird?? 🤣🤣 I don't get why y'all are fighting can't you just like, stop??? Oh okay you people are just fucked up and evil and stupid then" ((their planets are based on colonialism where their Primes wiped out the native populations btw whereas the Autobots and OP in particular fought to save organics. But that never gets brought up as a point in their favor)) as if the damage of a lifetime of war and a society that was broken even before the war can just magically go away now that the war is over.
Prowl fucking sucks but he was basically the only person that pointed out the injustice of that.
And then from then on out most of the characters from other colonies like Caminus and wherever else are going "i fucking hate you and your conflicts" w/ people like literal-nobody Slide and various Camiens getting to just sit there lecturing Optimus about how Cybertronians are too violent for their own good and how their conflicts are stupid, with only brief sympathetic moments where the Cybertronians get to be recognized as their own ppl who deserve sympathy before going right back to being lambasted.
Like I literally struggled to enjoy the story at multiple points because there was only so much I could take of the characters I knew and loved being raked over coals constantly while barely getting to defend themselves or be defended by the narrative so like. It was just fucking depressing and a little infuriating to read exRID/OP
