‘Cause I’m no Prophet Or Messiah You Should Go Looking Somewhere Higher

‘Cause I’m no prophet or Messiah You should go looking somewhere higher

Figured I’d draw Omar Parvez/Optimus Prime with the Matrix since I’ve never detailed him with it, but TLDR, it’s very Iron Man!

Notes of interest:

- He doesn’t actually know how he got this weird urban legend arc reactor which seems to respond to his thoughts and emotions, just that he thought Sentinel Prime had killed him by shooting him in the chest and flinging him off a cliff, and then oops he’s actually alive and everything hurts and there’s this brand new addition.

- He doesn’t like being called ‘Prime’. At all. He’ll reluctantly accept it from outsiders/casual acquaintances who are genuinely using the title as a term of respect for him, but within his inner circle, he prefers to be called by his given name only. That the title was not levied on him willingly is part of the reason; Sentinel Prime took on the title of the 13 Quintesson war heroes as his own when he was becoming increasingly dictatorial, and an irate Alpha Trion who he took as a captive for information, blurted out that his protege (Optimus when Optimus was a cop) is more of a Prime than he’d ever be. And it sort of snowballed from there when Optimus was revealed to be one of two heads of the Resistance. Morgan/Megatron found it somewhat amusing but kept to calling Optimus his given name in being the man’s close friend and understanding his discomfort with being placed in that pedestal. Though during the war when he becomes increasingly antagonistic, he does occasionally call Optimus ‘Prime’ in a more taunting manner.

What is something objectively good that you don't like or hate?

My issue is that if I hate something, even if it's good up until that point, I don't continue engaging in it. If I dislike a game, I don't typically continue playing it.

If I dislike something, I typically do not dwell on it either, so I don't remember it.

Btw Israel let Palestinians celebrate not one (1) holiday in peace. They didn’t grant Christian Palestinians access to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, they actively attacked families who were already starving at Iftar during Ramadan, and now there are several reports of families being killed on Eid al-Fitr—a sacred multi-day holiday practiced by lots of Arabs. It breaks my heart imagining the Palestinian families in Gaza right now, most of whom are spending Eid mourning loved ones who were taken by Israeli strikes. Most of us will never understand the sheer magnitude of that pain.

Every child in Gaza knows the “whistle.” It is the sound of a rocket dropping on a house.

Every child knows that when you hear the whistle, it means that it is not your house being bombed.

Because you will not hear anything when you are bombed. https://t.co/Ws94YH4QSZ

The Electronic Intifada

There is no such thing as childhood in Gaza

Israeli attacks expose Palestinian children to daily horrors.

Children in Gaza can tell an F-16 from an F-35 from a drone. They know a whole litany of things that are beyond their years. Things that they shouldn’t have to know. Over 10,000 children have been killed in Gaza. The children who have survived have seen their families, friends and neighbors killed by the Israeli army. They have seen near-death by starvation and death by suffocation, under the rubble and by explosion. Children in Gaza do not have the luxury of death being a mystery. It is a daily presence. If a child in Gaza is hungry, they know not to throw a tantrum. They have become used to feeling hunger. The same is true of the cold. Every child in Gaza now knows what it is to be unhoused, to sleep in a tent or on the streets in winter.

A Palestinian father playfully balances his son on his right hand at the beach in Gaza City early one evening.

The coast of Gaza has grown increasingly popular over the years. It had always been a sight for weary eyes but with Israel’s siege denying Gazans the freedom to move, its seemingly endless seascape offers, for many, a very tangible escape, even if only temporal. It has also become a very popular family destination. Entire meals are prepared, served, and eaten here, and it is not uncommon to stay the night, father, son, and all.
