[peace-hunter]

tfone au where OP is created as the last of the primes but way after them, a sparkling born at what were thought to be the last days of the war against the quintessons, the beginning of a new generation of peace after eons of war. a child meant to be loved and raised knowing nothing of war nor sacrifice.

he's kept mostly out of the spotlight by his siblings, who don't wish to expose him to everyone's optics so young, and want to wait until the war is done and over to properly introduce him to their people.

except of course the primes are betrayed and murdered by sentinel, the war is lost and everyone who knows and cared for the truth is either banished or outright killed in order to suppress it.

and the high guard, the ones the primes trusted the most, the ones that were supposed to protect them, the ones who failed in their most important duty, have to make a choice. to take the last prime, their last hope, with them to the surface, a hostile environment where there's little to no supplies and where they'll be hunted down by both sentinel and the quintessons as the biggest threat to their regimen.

or hide him in plain sight. place him where sentinel won't think to look for him. one more sparkling among many. and hope it will be enough to keep him alive. pray to primus that he'll protect his last child long enough for them to come back for him when it's safer (even if most of them have already lost their faith on him when he allowed the rest of his children to be massacred like that)

they almost lose their resolve when they realize they will have to take the little one's cog away in order to make him blend in with the rest of the newborns (and oh do they burn with murderous intent when they see what sentinel has done to their people but it's not the time yet-) but in the end they decide an impaired little prime is better than a dead one.

and so in the chaos of thirteen dead primes and a sudden energon crisis, a little sparkling who very few mechs really knew about and even fewer had seen completely vanishes. and in the depths of iacon a mech in charge of a new batch of newborns scratches their helm in confusion as they realize they must have miscounted the first time.

optimus prime is quietly erased from any official records by sentinel, written off as dead when they find a sparkling's frame mangled beyond recognition after an attack on the base of those rebels that insist on being a thorn on his side. killing the sparkling hadn't been precisely in his plans, he probably could've found some use for it after all, but he's not particularly upset about it either.

and orion pax grows up with an ache on his spark that tells him he's missing something far more important than a t-cog and dreams of gentle and loving hands, cradling him against the frames of mechs he cannot recall the faces of.

Been rewatching HTTYD and I just realized that art is a skill that is made better through repetition (hold on, I'm not done), so for Toothless to go from this

To this

Means that he has been practicing!!

I don't think there are any short films of Toothless drawing but I neeeeeeeed them 😭

Solo leveling annoyed me for YEARS because I tried to take it as seriously as it took itself so all I could see were plot holes and paper-thin characters and missed potential. Thank you for this new perspective because yeah, looking at it as a comedy where jinwoo is forced by the narrative to do whatever the Coolest Possible Thing is, it really does become the funniest imaginable version of itself.

I'm glad!!! Thank you for sharing my vision!!

Every now and then I will find a show I enjoy and that enjoyment is BECAUSE of a very specific way I have decided to experience the story. That very specific way can have nothing to do with the story as it was intended. And this therefore makes it a hard thing to endorse. Like "I think you should watch [thing], but let me set you up with some pre-recorded rifftrax I made that you need to play overtop episode 1 so you can get a handle on what it is that I want to sell you on."

This is from last year when my friends and I were watching season 1

He's just so fucking funny.

[lotstradamus]

have you read any books as good as captive prince in terms of plot :/ im desperate!!!

the only series I've read that really evoke that Captive Princeish countries-on-the-brink-of-war, shifting alliances, spies, WHAT IS HAAPPEENNINGING vibe are The Masquerade by Seth Dickinson (The Traitor Baru Cormorant is book #1) and The Queen's Thief by Megan Whalen Turner (The Thief is book #1).

both of those series deliver a Prince's Gambit Patran Soldiers Arriving On The Field At Hellay jaw-dropper and are so SO satisfying. they will also make you cry LIKE a little bitch lmao

OH MY GOD ALSO??? HELLO???? C. S. PACAT'S NEW YA* FANTASY SERIES DARK RISE??????????? (Dark Rise book #1!!!) we're only on book 2 of 3 but I trust her enough to say: you absolutely have to read it now immediately. on the surface the plot seems SOOOO simple and straightforward (it's VERY pastoral English 20th century children's fantasy vibes, but it's C. S. Pacat so...) but thematically it's very similar to Captive Prince: dead brother angst, hidden identities, sexually fraught gold collars, hot blond bitches and WAR. and sis THEE twists. THEE levels. I spent 85% of the first book like yeah okay I guess I'm into this and the last 15% with my mouth open in shock. I read book two in one sitting the day it came out and transformed from a woman into a sentient scream. 10/10.

*I have to laugh... ok girl ! filth !

normal rulers that can be trusted with physical and political power

day 5: royal (magolor and sectonia team-up would be fire. also they are bffs. to me)

They definitely give each other relationship advice too, because their love lives are the worst best in Dream Land

MAD MAD MAD SCIENTIST WEI WUXIAN AU. You know, I had to take a moment to reread what my last post was about because, between mock exams and the other AUs, my mind has been completely filled to the brim with what can only be described as a jumble of wangxian variants beating up everything I know about Sociology. Lan Zhan hears the happy hum of delight from the Burial Mounds before he sees Wei Ying. He's been trailing along near It, making sure that It only attacks those that It is supposed to attack while also ensuring that nobody can land a blow on It, knowing that Wei Ying views this creature as a sort of maternal figure and would be upset if It got injured. Plus, the creature did wave at him, so he feels that it is only right to keep It safe for greeting him during an active war ground. Everyone else is avoiding It like the plague, dancing around It while they push more and more enemies into Its clutches, but he is right beside It, alternating between blocking attacks towards It and blocking attacks aimed at himself. He must remind himself to indulge Bichen with the fancy sword polish after this was over, because It's doing such a wonderful job - he does love his sword, no matter how much he may appear to favour Wangji (who he does love just as equally).

Anyway. The humming. He hears an excited, echoey sound escaping It as It suddenly turns in a direction, practically vibrating in delight in a way that makes him feel excited. It becomes incredibly obvious why It's acting like this when the first spirit shoots down into the crowd with a loud screech, tearing into the Jin cultivator it manages to latch onto as it goes. Just a single look into the sky reveals Wei Ying standing atop Suibian like an emperor, one hand clutched into the robes of a flailing blob that won't stop screaming (Wen Chao always did have a good set of lungs on him) and the other hand holding, of course, Chenqing. A hush falls over the crowd, and Wei Ying does not make a single sound, just smiles as the spirits swarm around him and then idly, so casually, lets go of Wen Chao, who goes down with a shriek of horror, in a way that can only be reminiscent of how he was thrown into the Burial Mounds.

There are some cries and curses from the Wens as he goes down falling, screaming, only to be caught by the Burial Mounds Itself. Those long, deformed fingers wrap around Wen Chao, and this can only be a more twisted version of Wei Ying's fall, one that ends with him being ripped apart in the jaws of the creature. This, of course, is a huge blow to the Wen soldiers, their only surviving heir killed by the boy they cast aside for knowing too much, for breaking free of the corrupt clan that killed his parents and lied to him for years. Lan Zhan thinks it's poetic. He thinks that Wei Ying is gorgeous as he presses Chenqing to his lips and starts playing the melody that promises the demise of the Wens, that launches the spirits down in a great wave of screams and violence that slams down into the crowd with no more warning. Lan Zhan can do nothing but watch in awe (not noticing the Burial Mounds picking apart those who try and attack him), looking up at the love of his life and willing to die for him.

Meanwhile, Wen Ning is dragging Xue Yang along, hauling both Xue Yang and baby A-Yuan along with him further into the forest. There are screams of all kinds echoing from behind, with a strange one that kind of sounds like a harmony of screams, but he does not look back. Pain sings through his side, coursing through his veins even as adrenaline numbs it a little - this, is not a very good sign. Not a very good sign at all, but he pushes it to the side and focuses more on getting the children somewhere safe. Xue Yang has a sobbing A-Yuan in his arms, one hand tucked away beneath the baby to keep him upright, and the other white knuckled around the blanket covering him, and his eyes are filled with tears. He's trying so hard not to cry but he's just a boy and little whimpers keep escaping him and Wen Ning may be bleeding out from his side but this is far more important to him than any such thing.

He risks stopping behind a tree, pressing a cursory hand to his side - that burning pain is getting worse, but he can get deal with whatever that blade was doused in later - before reaching out to Xue Yang gently. Even though he did spend a lot of time with Wei Ying back with the Wen, whenever he was working on his experiments, he was with jiejie, so he can definitely help out with whatever's wrong with Xue Yang's hand. "A-Yang, let me see what it is," he focuses on keeping his voice calm, knowing that his didi doesn't like to show any vulnerability and may snap in high pressure situations. Sure enough, Xue Yang looks at him like he's insane, teary eyes darting behind them to where the battlefield is still raging, but they don't have time to ease into this and he needs to see what the injury is so he can deal with it before it could possibly be infected or cause greater damage to the boy. He reaches out to grab his didi's wrist so he can take a closer look at it, and Xue Yang can do nothing but clutch A-Yuan tighter. When Wen Ning looks down to see the damage, there's a pause.

It takes him a moment or two to register the issue there, and then he immediately starts panicking because where the fuck is his hand?! It's just- it's not there. The only reason the bloodloss hasn't gotten to Xue Yang already is because he's always had his leather wrist guards be too tight even though it had an issue of cutting off blood circulation. It seems this has helped this time, but Wen Ning is still unable to properly comprehend that his didi is missing a hand. He clutches at the stump, staring at it emptily while Xue Yang just keeps sniffling and it's honestly a wonder that he hasn't been screaming and sobbing this whole time. It can only be the shock and adrenaline - the boy himself doesn't seem to register that he's missing a hand, which is sickening. Silence falls upon the battle behind them, and a flute begins to trill out a tune, but he doesn't care. He doesn't care that A-Yuan's crying fades and Xue Yang's head flits up to where Wei Ying is saving the day, he just starts scrabbling around in his sleeves for bandages and wishes Jiejie was the one here right now.

hold this thought because I still don't fully get it but maybe bullying and humiliating someone actually is more likely to teach them pride and maybe the only way to teach someone true humility is through building them up idk
