Optimus Prime And Bumblebee Father/son Appreciation Post

"Please..." A desperate plea to the light. To the Traveler. "Bring him back." The emptiness etched at the soul, clawing its way out like darkness dancing just out of reach. Despite the brightness that seemed all encompassing, it was only hollow aching that accompanied the truth.

"It's just a Ghost." Tightness clenched at a throat shaking with grief. The tremble in a voice laced so deep that knees shook, fingers unsteadily holding onto the shell of a once brilliant little flicker of light. He couldn't be gone; that wasn't how this worked...

"You raised an army—you can bring back one Ghost!" Sharp nails tipped with anger lashed out at the Traveler and its silence—its reluctance to bring. Him. Back!

Silence.

Deafening silence greeted grief like an old friend, in a warm embrace that brought trembling shoulders and shuttered eyes. It was just one Ghost, why couldn't it be brought back? Why was it okay for him to die to save the Traveler. It wasn't fair!

"He sure shined bright back there, huh?" Cayde. 

A voice of mirth and chaos, held dim by the reality of the situation. 

"Cayde..." Misty eyes watched Cayde, his face plates shifting into an expression that could only be described as solomn. A new wave of pain, of panic crashed down. Drowning. This is what it felt like to drown. No air, no surface to breach. Only the heavy weight of pain and acceptance.

"'What comes from the light, returns to the light.' My gal sundance told me that." Small glances down at the lifeless shell clutched tightly in quivering hands. "She also said we're all connected. Guardians, Ghosts, the Traveler..." Nervous glances into the endless light, the sparkle of regret meeting decisiveness in light-filled eyes. 

No.

"Now you tell the others this was my choice. My Light. Nobody makes my fate but me." 

No.

Delicate touches, holding hands that couldn't stop quaking. Deteriorating pockets of light, convalescing Ghost. 

"You're my Favorite. Don't ever forget that." 

No!

"Don't..." A breath of air. "Don't!" A panicked shout. "Cayde, please!" Unwavering hands held firm, pinching Ghost between surety and hesitation. "I just got you back! Don't do this! I'd rather lose my light than be without you again!" A pause in the transference of light back to life.

"You'll be fine. You always have been, always will be." A flash, blinding and filled with warmth. Light snuffed out darkness, filled holes and chased away the shadows. Solid ground beneath boots.

A gasp.

"Guardian... there you are." A weak sigh.

It wasn't the Traveler that brought back Ghost. It was Cayde. In still weak hands, Ghost's light flickered with more than just the Traveler's power. Cayde was there, his sacrifice. His final death.

Knees hit rocks, cracking audibly as a scream rend through the air, echoing off the figments of reality the Traveler had crafted. Shattering pain, tearing at lungs that so desperately needed air. Another scream rose, dancing with the echoes of the first into a chorus of anguish. One light lost to return another. A trade that was undeniably uneven in the Pale Heart of the Traveler, where light flowed aplenty. 

Well, you all asked soo. . .

Here is My Movie Sonamy Headcanon (Part 1?)✨

💙🩹🩷

How Sonic and Amy fall in Love

"He fell first, she fell harder "

Sonic:

He crushes on Amy INSTANTLY (ofc) but over time, once he gets to know Amy better, he starts to love her EVEN MORE. Cuz in my opinion "love at first sight" isn't really a thing, it's cute but having his love for her grow even more over time is a lot more cute and wholesome ❤ (imo)

And now!

Amy:

At first, she thinks Sonic is a dork, she finds it cute but denies the idea of her liking him. But then getting to know him, she thinks "ok, I might like him, but I don't want anything to do with him" then something happens like he does something like, a heroic act or something (Idk lol) that makes Amy fall for him in that moment! making her think, "ok, maybe I like this guy more than I thought"

So yeah! That's my headcanon there XD 💙🩹🩷

(More soon hopefully)

pairing - genji shimada x gn!reader

synopsis - general relationship headcanons

warning - none

✎ He often has his human arm around you. Since he only takes off his mask very little, he can't kiss you, instead he holds you close to him.

✎ If you are part of Overwatch or Blackwatch, he trains you to be sure of your skills and that you do not get hurt.

✎ When he was still fully human, he loved that you trace the scars on his body. He fell more and more in love with you each time. Now you can only trace the ones on his arm but he's still happy when you do.

✎ Like I said above, he doesn't often take off his mask, but when he does it's only when he's with you and he always gently kisses your lips.

✎ Zenyatta loves you very much and he is happy that you make his student happy.

✎ Cuddling with him isn't the most comfortable thing but you always find a way to make yourself comfortable and above all the most important thing is that you spend time together.

✎ Kiss his whole face telling him he's handsome when he takes off his mask and he'll be the happiest man in the world. He may even drop a tear or two.

✎ You hardly ever argue, the only times is when you put yourself in danger and as he was afraid for you he got angry.

✎ You were in a relationship with him when he was human except that after his fight with Hanzo you also thought he was dead so you cried a lot after that. When he returned to his cyborg form with only one arm and his head remaining human you were quite happy and shocked.

I decided to throw my hat in the ring too :>

I was wondering if I can request just hcs of making out with hazard with a slight hint of suggestive please and thank u 😽

YAAAAAAAA HELL YEAAAAHHHHHHHH, I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this i might sound a lil insane on this ALSO Thank you for being my second request!

How it would be like to make out with Hazard aka Findlay Docherty (SLIGHT NSFW)

- Unrelenting Confidence

Hazard is the type to take the lead unapologetically. He leans in like he already knows you’ve been waiting for this, his smirk daring you to keep up with his intensity.

- Rough Around the Edges

His kisses are anything but gentle; there’s a raw electric energy to the way he moves. He’s the kind to bite your lip just hard enough to leave a lingering ache, only to soothe it with a deep, lingering kiss right after. But if you can’t keep up or it’s too much for you to handle, he would actually try his best to be gentle. (no promises though)

- Playful Teasing

Hazard doesn’t just kiss you—he taunts you. He knows just how much his accent makes you melt and if it just to tease you? He will not shut the fuck up. He’ll pull away just as things are getting heated, chuckling low as if to say, “Is that all ye’ve got, love? Thought ye’d be puttin’ up a better fight.” before diving back in even rougher.

- Dominating Presence

While Hazard might come off as a cocky, unrelenting top at first glance, there’s a deeper, more vulnerable layer hiding behind his swagger. He thrives on praise, though he’d never admit it outright. Between kisses, if you so much as breathe out a soft: “You’re so good at this” or let slip a dazed, “I can’t get enough of you” it’s like flipping a switch. His grip tightens, his kisses grow more desperate, even buck his hips against yours to get some friction in his pants and a dark flush would spread across his cheeks. He freezes for half a second, his smirk faltering before doubling down. “Och, keep talkin’ like that, and I’ll show ye just how good I can be.” Congratulations, you got yourself a dog :].

- Bite Marks

Hazard has no problem with leaving reminders of your time together. He’ll nip along your jawline, neck, chest and even your thighs just hard enough to mark his territory without going too far. Every mark he leaves feels deliberate, like a signature. He even went as far as to suggest for you to wear shorts or skirts around him to show them off once, needles to say he only got some playful punches out of you.

- Chaotic Passion

There’s an unpredictability to him. One moment, his kisses are slow and teasing, and the next, they’re consuming, as if he’s determined to memorize every inch of your body.

- Aftermath

When it’s over, he’ll pull back just enough to lock eyes with you, that trademark smirk firmly in place as he takes in your flushed face and disheveled state. His only comment? A cocky, “Ye’d best catch yer breath now, lass, ‘cause ye’ll need it next time.”

REQUESTS ARE OPEN??? I RAN . here on that genji kick because this one ally genji was overprotective of me and the ana in my game (me as mercy), so can we get a genji with a s/o getting attacked/targeted? :0 make sure to take care of yourself!!

Hellloooooo!

Genji protecting s/o

During battles Genji never leaves you alone for long periods of time

Even if it's just to double check that you're doing okay he'll go to where you're stationed to make sure

So when you are attacked he drops everything and rushes to you aid

No hesitation he takes out the attacker before dropping down next to you to check your wounds

If it's anything serious he'll take you to a healer but if you can go on he'll leave you be

But for the rest of the battle he never truly leaves you alone he's just a bit overprotective

But if you don't mind let him stay nearby he's just worried

may i have some blackwatch genji angst with a fem! reader?? like she always feels so sorry for him (HAVE YOU HEARD SOME OF THE VOICELINES IN THE NEW EVENT???LIKE...MY HEART ;^;)

Blackwatch!Genji

His first reaction is of course, to get angry. Genji absolute refused to be pitied, not by anyone but especially not be you. He hates the way people look at him with sad eyes and ask if it hurts.

It does.

A lot.

And he doesn’t need people to remind him.

As much as he tries to brush it off there’s something about the way you look at him that makes him furious. Like no matter what he did you could only see some half formed freak who needed sympathy.He begins to wonder if you would look at him differently if he wasn’t like this.

Eventually he learns to accept that your concerns are different than Angela’s clinical intrigue or Moira’s scientific fascination. Yours was genuine. When you asked how he was you meant him, not whatever mechanical parts that were tacked onto his body. Its not long before he finds himself growing attached, finding it easy to voice his feelings to you on a level he never could with the others around him.

Thinking about River and his "it's hard for me to talk about what's biting at my ass" line (during the Hunt) and then later (during Following the River) he opens up and tells V about his parents and if V interrupts him before he gets into more detail he responds with "heard sob stories enough?"

Do you ever just... think a bunch about characters like these? You know, the characters who are always the rock to lean on, the anchor, the source of safety and stability and calm? The ones who are so selfless and full of love and compassion, that might not always have their own needs met because they always put others first? And especially in a world like Night City, where everything is just so very fucked? Where something like this can definitely be taken advantage of?

And this is not to say that River is some doormat that others walk all over as they please, and all he does is smile and put a thumbs up. In River's case (and in general honestly) I do not think kindness should be mistaken for weakness.

He is not weak or boring or naive, not even for someone living in Night City. In fact, it's pretty damn brave to hold onto kindness and altruism like that especially considering the world he lives in and everything he's been through.

I think about the text he sends to V letting them know they can always talk to him. And then I think about the Sun ending, the Path of Glory, how there is the opportunity for V to tell River that he is their rock, their anchor.

And he smiles with content for a moment. But V is leaving.

V, the one who helped him find Randy, helped him put his life back together in a different, but more beautiful way. The one he could turn to in his time of need, the one to be like yes I will help you, and I do not expect anything in return. The one who listens when he opens up about his trauma. The one who refuses to accept his help, the one that says "you being here is enough."

V, the one he falls so hard and so quickly for.

V, the one that is dying, that he may never see again.

I don't know where I was going with this, but on a completely unrelated note, my heart feels like it has been shredded to a million pieces.

“Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never EVER, cut a deal with a Warlock."

Decided for no reason whatsoever to make Ace Attorney style sprites for Destiny characters, so here’s the rough animation for Cayde, who’s pose was based on Godot’s

*Rats surries across floor*

"We request smooches from genji and Zenyatta"

hello my rat friends!!! of course you may get smooches from the lovelies!!

You were the only one who was ever allowed to see Genji's face anymore. He was too scared to show anyone else the scars he had obtained, but you? No, never you. He knew you would look past the scars and still call him beautiful. He knew you would cup his face and tell him just how much you loved him, not caring about the gnashes in both his skin and his life.

"You wanna go to the arcade?" Genji rushed into your room, throwing the door open.

"Please?!" You stood up quickly as Genji began putting on his mask.

Before he was able to put it on, you moved it down and pressed a kiss onto his lips, shocking him a little bit into a smile.

"Stawp." He blushed as you wrapped your arms around him into a hug.

"Ready for the arcade?" You asked, quickly pulling away from said hug.

"Yes, but one moment." Genji covered your face in little kisses and dragged you to the arcade, slipping on his mask as you sighed lovingly with goo goo eyes.

"Can we go on that date yet?" You whispered to Zen.

Zen shot you a look, but chuckled. "I'm meditating. Give me one second please?"

You just nodded and sat in silence, quickly getting bored. You scooted closer to Zen. And then closer. And then closer.

The omnic sighed heavily and turned to you. "y/n, please."

"Sorry." You said, trying not to giggle.

After a few more moments of that terrible silence, Zenyatta wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close. "Thank you for your attempted patience, y/n. We can go on that date now."

"Yay!!" You hugged Zen back and kissed him on his cold cheeks while he nuzzled against you before helping you up to go on your date.

FLORENCE CASTLE’S HEROES OF CYBERTRON - EP. 09: OPTIMUS PRIME (3)

Poiché il soggetto in questione è una vera e propria leggenda nella Hall of Fame dei Transformer, la puntata di oggi è particolarmente molto lunga, per cui la suddividerò in più parti.

NOTA: Alcune immagini non sono mie, ma vengono dal sito DeviantArt. Articolo scritto da me, con l'approvazione di @jazzluca.

PUNTATA 9: OPTIMUS PRIME, terza parte.

Optimus al cinema: Michael Bay e non solo

Il 2007 non è solo l’anno di Animated, ma anche l’anno di nascita dell’universo cinematografico di Michael Bay, croce e delizia dei TF-fan per essere un mondo tanto rivoluzionario e affascinante quanto controverso. Per quanto riguarda Optimus Prime, così accattivante ma anche così criticato, è già la seconda incarnazione ad adottare la maschera retrattile del suo precursore Animated. Allo stesso tempo, egli eredita dal G1 gli avambracci squadrati, la tipica livrea rossa e blu qui distribuita con un accattivante motivo a fiamme, e parti del fronte del camion a costituire il busto del robot (i pettorali/parabrezza, ad esempio). Invece, l’idea del camion più sporgente e non col muso piatto deriva dalla G2/Armada, oltre a essere una buona scusa del regista per dare un’impronta più americana all’intera vicenda. Anche le armi sono state in parte rivisitate, tanto da immortalare l’immagine di Optimus che sfodera delle lame gemelle dagli avambracci nell’immaginario collettivo... e che, a sua volta, avrebbe dato i natali alla controparte Prime nel decennio successivo.

In realtà, questo è l’aspetto principale del Comandante Autobot nella prima trilogia di Michael Bay – quella che, per intenderci, comprende i film TRANSFORMERS 2007, La Vendetta del Caduto e Dark of the Moon – perché, come vedremo, nel corso del tempo si avrà una netta evoluzione nel design del robot con tanto di piccole variazioni sul tema.

Nel secondo capitolo, ad esempio, Optimus viene potenziato con i pezzi di un ferito Jetfire, un vecchio Bot che ha dato la sua vita per permettere al Comandante Autobot di affrontare il pericoloso avversario di turno. Oltre a essere un palese omaggio ad Armada, questa combinazione consente a Optimus anche di volare – capacità che si protrarrà anche nei film successivi, seppur con mezzi sempre più diversi.

Infatti, in TRANSFORMERS 3, dopo diversi anni sulla Terra il nostro ha ulteriormente aggiornato il proprio arsenale, al punto da dover usufruire... di un rimorchio! Rimorchio che finalmente arriva appunto nel terzo capitolo (facendosi un po’ aspettare, magari, dopo aver assaggiato la potenza nell’unione con Jetfire in La Vendetta del Caduto), assumendo una forma tondeggiante e divenendo una postazione per armi, che a pensarci come idea non è malvagia come evoluzione delle vecchie basi o avamposti armati. L’unica differenza dai due film precedenti è il dettaglio della pancia del robot, forse riparazione da parte di Ratchet di una ferita mortale inflitta da Megatron (che nel film precedente ha ucciso il suo rivale in un modo che dire vile è riduttivo!) proprio in quel punto. E, sempre nel terzo film, ecco che Prime sfreccia nei cieli nuovamente con una Modalità Volo, questa volta sottoforma di jetpack alato!

Chiusa la “trilogia classica”, a partire da L’Era dell’Estinzione del 2014 ci si ritroverà in uno scenario completamente diverso. In seguito agli eventi di Chicago i Transformer vengono banditi dalla società umana e diventano tutti dei bersagli... incluso lo stesso Optimus, che è costretto a nascondersi sottoforma di un vecchio camion arrugginito. Di per sé questo è l’unico riferimento alla G1 in tutto il Bayverso, in risposta alle ripetute lamentele dei fan che fino ad allora non hanno apprezzato l’altmode “muso lungo” introdotto nel 2007. Tuttavia, la cosiddetta “Evasion Mode” (come è stata soprannominata dagli addetti ai lavori) è solo una modalità transitoria, non solo perché lo stesso Comandante Autobot è ferito e richiede urgenti riparazioni. Neanche a dirlo, nello stesso film, si assisterà a una vera e propria metamorfosi... a cominciare dal camion, che ritorna ad avere il look affusolato che abbiamo imparato a conoscere.

Intanto Optimus Prime, saputa l’orribile notizia che il Governo sta massacrando i Cybertroniani in modo indiscriminato, è costretto ad appendere la diplomazia al chiodo («Autobot... finora ho giurato che non avrei mai ucciso gli umani. Ma quando scoprirò chi c’è dietro a tutto questo... dovrà morire!»). Così, da supereroe che piange per la perdita degli amici umani e Autobot, si trasforma in un feroce mercenario assetato di sangue e vendetta. Altmode nuovo, vita nuova, robot nuovo: infatti, per qualche assurdo motivo (e dico sul serio!), la nuova forma robotica di Optimus ricorda l’armatura di un cavaliere medievale. Ma allora dov’è la sua fantomatica corazza argentata dei primi bozzetti se vedo solo i guanti, la Spada del Giudizio, lo Scudo Vector, il suo fucile personalizzato e gli stivali a razzo (sic!) per volare via a caccia dei suoi Creatori? Per carità, fin da La Vendetta del Caduto si è insistito molto sul fatto che lui sia “l’ultimo dei Prime”, ma a quanto pare gli autori hanno gettato alle ortiche questo dettaglio. Ciononostante, il dubbio resta: perché rivelare di punto in bianco che Optimus Prime è anche/in realtà un Cavaliere di Cybertron? Non può essere così vecchio!

Purtroppo l’azzardata scelta di virare verso le atmosfere fantasy/medievali/ciclo arturiano ha causato la morte della saga nel 2017 dopo cinque film, a causa sia dell’addio di Michael Bay alla regia sia del drastico e progressivo calo degli incassi e della qualità in generale. In L’Ultimo Cavaliere, tra il serio e il faceto, il nostro ha di nuovo perso la testa, ma non volontariamente. All’inizio, si ritrova su una Cybertron devastata e lui, dinanzi a quell’orribile spettacolo, ne è disgustato, sotto shock... insomma, chi ha osato fare uno scempio simile alla sua vecchia casa? Frase contraddittoria, considerando che in Dark of the Moon è stato proprio Prime a voler distruggere il Ponte Spaziale di Sentinel Prime per evitare che questi schiavizzasse gli umani allo scopo di ricostruire il suo amato pianeta natale. Oppure è solo una domanda retorica, come a dire: «Che cos’ho fatto?!?»... frase che in effetti il nostro dirà una volta rinsavito, rendendosi conto che stava quasi per uccidere il suo amatissimo amico/figlio Bumblebee, quindi interpreterei quella reazione sotto questa chiave di lettura.

Poi, a un certo punto della sua carriera, Optimus Prime viene manipolato e ingannato da Quintessa, trasformandolo nel riflesso oscuro di sé stesso. Ne avevamo già ampliamente parlato nella Puntata 6, tuttavia un breve riepilogo male non fa.

Questo alter ego, ribattezzato Nemesis Prime, è un’autentica versione negativa del Comandante Autobot: completamente devoto alla sua padrona, egli è ormai privo della sua proverbiale gentilezza e bontà d’animo, lasciando posto a una spietata macchina assassina capace solo di annientare chiunque intralci il suo cammino (solo in questa veste, a mio avviso, la minaccia «Io ti ucciderò!» ha molto più senso!). Apparentemente nulla sembra fermarlo... tranne il suono della voce di Bumblebee e della ferrea fiducia dell’amico umano Cade Yeager. E ora che la Terra e Cybertron sono unite come un solo pianeta «È giunto il momento di tornare a casa.»... ma non vedremo mai la fine della storia per i motivi sopra citati.

Nonostante tutto, Optimus Prime resta il più riconoscibile, vero filo conduttore tra i film di Bay e la classica G1. E a proposito di G1... a salvare la reputazione del buon Commander interviene un tal Travis Knight nel 2018, regalando al pubblico quel tenerissimo capolavoro che è BUMBLEBEE. Anche se in realtà è uno spin-off sulle vicende del piccolo ricognitore Autobot giallo (di cui parleremo prossimamente), è il look generale dei robot a riportarli auge sul grande schermo. Ridisegnarli con le classiche fattezze G1, infatti, è stata una mossa vincente e il “nuovo” Optimus Prime è piaciuto subito: squadrato dalla testa ai piedi, armato di fucile a ioni alla vecchia maniera (non integrato nel braccio, quindi) e il volto sempre coperto da una maschera. Certo, qui è un personaggio secondario, ma in futuro lo rivedremo protagonista numero uno nel prossimo film live action TRANSFORMERS: Il Risveglio.

Continua...
