The Thirteen Prime Zodiac

In my Embers-verse Cybertron has a pretty long history, which I’m still fleshing out, a part of that is a zodiac based on the Thirteen Primes!

By the time that the Cybertronian Autobot-Decepticon War, a.k.a. The Great War, occurs the Thirteen Primes & anything associated with them are largely considered to be myth & legend.

The Thirteen Zodiac is considered to be archaic & is largely disregarded, though there are certain groups who still pay it mind. Amongst these interested groups are scholars, the religious, mystic enthusiasts, & fans of the legends of The Thirteen.

It was once believed that a newspark’s personality and fate could be predicted through the star sign they had been born under. The star signs are as follows:

Prima - The Judge

Vector Prime - The Tempest

Alpha Prime - The Scribe

Solus Prime - The Forgemaster

Micronus Prime - The Loyal

Alchemist Prime - The Wizard

Nexus Prime - The Guardian

Onyx Prime - The Masked

Amalgamous Prime - The Trickster

Quintus Prime - The Traveler

Liege Maximo - The Deceiver

 Megatronus - The Fallen

Thirteen - The Forgotten

Below is a brief description of a few traits associated with each sign. More in depth writing concerning the traits and fates associated with each sign will come soon! As well as information concerning which signs belong to notable Cybertronians!

Old Friend, Forever Love (One Shot) Blackwatch Genji X Recruit Friend Reader (Overwatch)

[Hello My Sexy Readers, I am here with a new chapter this one being another one for the Archive Event. This was Requested BY: _fuyuki_oshiha_ I hope you enjoy!]

(Genji’s POV)

She had been the love of my life, the only one who knew me for me. The one who knew I had fears of never being loved. That I secretly loved anime and not the violent one, the sweet cute ones. That I had a fear of spiders and a fear of failing my family. She had been through it all with me. Always cheering me up and being with me because she was a friend and not what she could get out of me. She made me feel safe and loved and I never got to tell her how I felt about her. I had almost died and now am no longer a man, I am more machine than anything else.

That will be my biggest regret. I sigh and go to the meeting room. Gabriel said an Overwatch Recruit had to get my paper work to Commander Morrison. I make it to the office and placed it down. I go to leave when I hear.

“Genji?” I heard the most enchanting voice which I would never forget. “I-Is that you?”

I turned and looked to see (Name), The love of my lie standing their in strike blue recruit clothes. I was stunned. How is she… I then remember what I am now and turn and run. I could hear her running after me and she tackles me to the ground. On reflex I flipped us over and grabbed her by the throat.

“What do you want!?” I demand. “To mock me for what I become.”

She even though I had her by her throat lifted her hand to my cheek. I could not help but melt into her touch as she stroke my cheek. “Never Genji. I am still your friend no matter what you are.”

(XD Oh Friend Zone XD)

I fall on top of her and hold her close and for the first time in years I cried, All I needed was her. I love her so much and I am not going to loose her. She is mine!

Florence Castle's HEROES OF CYBERTRON - Episodio Speciale 01: DINOBOT

Buon compleanno Beast Wars ma - soprattutto - buon compleanno anche a me, poiché entrambi quest'anno compiamo ben 25 anni. Perciò festeggeremo tutti insieme con questo speciale che tratterà l'icona numero uno di questa serie TF "bestiale"...

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

SPECIALE 1: DINOBOT, l'onore di un guerriero

«Forse ho trovato la risposta alla domanda che mi assillava da tempo: il futuro non può essere mutato, siamo noi che decidiamo le nostre scelte. Ma, ironia della sorte, soltanto ora scopro di non poter scegliere affatto. Io sono un guerriero... e il mio destino è combattere!».

Con questa bellissima e commovente citazione tratta dalla serie TF che quest’anno spegnerà venticinque candeline, introduciamo un’altra stella del firmamento robottiano che ha segnato profondamente i nostri cuori fino alle lacrime (per alcuni letteralmente!). Da non confondersi con l’omonima squadra Autobot dall’altmode sauresco, DINOBOT è indiscutibilmente il beniamino delle masse per il suo acuto senso dell’onore e quel carisma tale che morirebbe gloriosamente in battaglia pur di proteggere chi ama; il tutto armato dei suoi inconfondibili spada e scudo rotanti e uno sguardo laser à la Superman per gli attacchi a lunga distanza.

È impossibile non ricordare quel velociraptor Predacon che crede nella ricerca di una gloria imperitura, e che già all'inizio della serie Beast Wars inizia a mettere in dubbio i metodi di Megatron accusandolo di aver condotto il resto della ciurma su un pianeta sbagliato dopo il furto del Disco d'Oro, una preziosissima reliquia di Cybertron. Verrà quindi scacciato da disertore e si unirà successivamente ai Maximal nonostante il suo tentativo fallito di “spodestare” Optimus Primal dal ruolo di leader, ed è per questo che si distingue dai suoi neocompagni proprio per la sua famigerata lealtà ballerina: un Predacon resta pur sempre un Predacon, dopotutto, ma – parafrasando Nightmare before Christmas, uscito al cinema tre anni prima di ciò che in Italia conoscevamo come “Biocombat” – ti decanterà Shakespeare a memoria!

Ebbene sì: Dinobot viene dipinto come un guerriero romantico, nell’accezione di tragico, un antieroe che lotta disperatamente per la sua libertà e sempre contro l’inevitabilità del destino; esattamente come fanno gli shakespeariani Macbeth («Ahimè, povero Tarantulas! Lo conoscevo, Cheetor...») e Amleto (il celeberrimo «Essere o non essere, questo è il dilemma...», oppure quel «Il resto è silenzio...» detto in punto di morte), entrambi in perenne lotta contro la natura “bene di madre e di voler matrigna”. E come tutti gli eroi tragici di questo genere, anche il nostro ha amiconi del cuore che lo rispettano, come quel Rattrap con cui condivide una divertente rivalità per i motivi di cui sopra.

Il suo canto del cigno avviene nella Stagione 2, nel memorabile episodio Un Grande Eroe, in cui lo vediamo affrontare l’intero entourage di Megatron tutto da solo fino alla fine delle sue forze – arriva persino a mettere KO lo spietato capo Predacon con una rudimentale ascia. E quando i suoi compagni Maximal arrivano troppo tardi a vedere cos'è successo, Dinobot ha già abbracciato il suo destino e chiede umilmente loro di raccontare la sua storia ai posteri, poiché “non c’è nulla da recriminare” nell’aver salvato la valletta da cui nascerà la razza umana: «Dite loro la verità. – egli dice – I miei tradimenti e anche le mie imprese... e lasciate che mi giudichino di conseguenza. Ora lasciatemi in pace...». Questa è la fine di Dinobot, “vissuto da guerriero e morto da eroe”, ma non per quel mostro di Megatron sempre volenteroso di manipolare le menti dei nostri amici Biocombat con le sue intricatissime trame.

Nella Stagione 3 infatti, grazie alle possibilità offerte dalla tecnologia Transmetal 2, egli resuscita il caro e vecchio guerriero fondendo il DNA di questi e un frammento della Scintilla di Rampage, dando vita a un grottesco pseudo zombie/clone/mostro di Frankenstein. Con questa nuova veste, quindi, “Dinobot secondo” torna all’ovile dei Predacon nel tentativo di Megatron di avere tra le fila un soldato fedele e obbediente da controllare a piacimento, anche se il fantasma dei ricordi della vita precedente è sempre dietro l’angolo. La serie non ce lo spiega esplicitamente, ma si pensa che Rattrap abbia giocato un ruolo chiave per recuperare il “vecchio” Dinobot quasi in maniera analoga di Blackarachnia nei confronti di Tarantulas. Il suo sacrificio nel finale di serie lascia intendere che, seppur sia stato manipolato e riprogrammato contro la propria volontà, Dinobot è sempre disposto a tutto per andare fino in fondo e dignitosamente. Purtroppo, non sono mai state (finora) segnalate altre sue apparizioni in serie esterne alle Biocombat – esclusi i fumetti e l'omaggio nella recente War for Cybertron: Il Regno, in cui i Maxmal e i Predacon si contrano con i Cybertroniani G1 in un crossover non così brillante ma al tempo stesso un ottimo modo per festeggiare i venticinque anni delle Guerre Animali. Comunque, pare che l’anima di Dinobot si sia reincarnata in personaggi non così diversi dall’originale; i decani ricorderanno sicuramente la figura di Starscream concepita in Armada, ma il più vicino di tutti è forse il Decepticon Dreadwing della serie TRANSFORMERS: Prime, di cui abbiamo già discusso nella Puntata 4.

***

Per quanto sia stato un personaggio radicato esclusivamente nell’universo Beast Wars, Dinobot è divenuto popolarissimo e amato da pubblico anche attraverso i numerosi modellini susseguitisi negli anni. Primo tra tutti il Deluxe del 1996, che come tutti i colleghi di ondata aveva la gimmik della “testa mutante” – cioè una maschera con fattezze bestiali che segnava la transizione dalla forma animale a quella robotica. I colori della variante Hasbro non erano così eccezionali (il raptor era troppo rosa!) e il viso del Bot era appena abbozzato, mentre la variante Takara cercava allora come oggi di rimanere il più possibile fedele alla controparte animata. E ovviamente non mancano delle piccole variazioni, come il remold in Grimlock o la ricolorazione celebrativa del decennale della serie – il Deluxe del 2006, con parti dipinte con bei colori metallizzati e una valida alternativa al predecessore Takara.

Doveroso menzionare l’aggiornamento – se possiamo definirlo tale – in Dinobot Transmetal 2 del 1999, anche questo un Deluxe ed è tuttora una rarità della sua categoria dato che la distribuzione dei Beast Wars iniziò ad interrompersi coi primissimi Transmetal 2. Un Deluxe, dicevo, che da una parte da un senso di continuità, ma dall’altra cozza con la versione nel cartone, che già il primo Dinobot era secondo solo a Megatron come altezza, quindi dovevano farlo minimo come Mega o Voyager, occasione perduta qui nella sua incarnazione TM2, senza però contare che altre versioni di personaggi della prima ora come Cybershark e Blackarachnia ricevettero un upgrade di stazza da Deluxe proprio nei rispettivi Mega Transmetal 2, ma sono dettagli.

Ma un personaggio così popolare non potrebbe mai avere la possibilità di riapparire in modelli aggiornati negli anni successivi? Naturalmente sì, e così ecco un bell’Universe del 2008/09 nei panni di un velociraptor ispirato a Jurassic Park con una forma robotica più fedele alla controparte animata e con proporzioni più antropomorfe – oltre a una colorazione show-accurate se si prende l’omonimo Takara. Certo l’iconico scudo non ruota più, ma in compenso può sparare un missile che è anche l’altrettanto celebre spada. Il fascino delle Biocombat, però, si esaurisce in fretta e da quell’anno non se ne sente più parlare, a parte il Dinobot con altmode veicolare per la Timeline 2006 che purtroppo era solo il remold di Cybertron Longrack.

Quasi nel tentativo di aggiungere una pezza all’aspetto goffo e troppo poco fedele alla controparte animata dei modellini di cui sopra, nel 2018 anche Dinobot appare tra i Masterpiece e finalmente con le giuste proporzioni e altezza – o almeno, insieme agli altri personaggi della sottocategoria Beast Wars della linea. Tra le chicche di questo Dinobot spiccano dettagli stampati e la verniciatura antigraffio, rendendolo quindi molto più resistente. Certo, è dettagliatissimo e fedelissimo al cartone animato, ma può spaventare i giunti delle articolazioni alle spalle del Bot, troppo duri e fragili – difettino corretto con le copie successive, per fortuna.

Se proprio il Masterpiece è economicamente proibitivo, tre anni dopo arriva da War for Cybertron: Il Regno della macro-famiglia Generations un Voyager discreto e accettabile. È effettivamente un Masterpiece in miniatura e ci viene presentato come Predacon (ricordandoci che all’inizio della serie originale apparteneva a tale schieramento prima di disertare), ciononostante è anche un valido sostituto che manda definitivamente in soffitta il vecchio modello degli anni ‘90.

***

CONCLUSIONE

Poiché come le Beast Wars sono nata nel ’96, mi vedo costretta essere di parte: una serie animata che ha avuto il coraggio di nascere in computer grafica, tecnologia all’epoca pionieristica e sconosciuta all’infuori dei pochi cartoni che conosco, per esempio della neonata Pixar Animation Studios. Scelte audaci a parte, l’idea di avere Transformer con altmode bestiali era già presente nella G1 – come i Predacon e i Terrorcon – ma una serie che sia interamente sulle “guerre animali” è stata una vera e propria rivoluzione. E che ci abbia regalato trame accattivanti dei personaggi memorabili come il nostro Dinobot o Blackarachnia è un altro punto a suo favore. Grazie di tutto, Guerriero!

Arrivederci alla prossima puntata! 😘

Okay hear me out, Reader deciding to ignore Hazard for the day bc he did something and they thought this will teach him. Only for him to be like "Hen, Hen the love of my life please talk to me-"

“Silent Treatment"

Hazard x Reader

The morning sunlight streamed through the blinds as you went about your day with a silent determination. Hazard, your ever-charismatic and annoyingly smug boyfriend, had finally crossed a line last night. Maybe it was teasing you too much, or perhaps it was him forgetting that one thing you’d asked him a million times—but either way, you’d had enough.

It was time for payback.

The silent treatment.

You didn’t think he’d notice immediately, but you underestimated him.

“Oh, good mornin’, Hen” Hazard greeted you as you passed him in the kitchen. He was leaning against the counter, his blonde hair a tousled mess, his smirk as devilish as ever. “Did ye sleep well, or were ye too busy dreamin’ aboot me?”

Normally, you’d roll your eyes or fire back some sarcastic quip, but not today. Today, you said nothing. Not even a glance his way.

His smirk faltered, his brows furrowing slightly. “Uh… Hen?”

You poured yourself a cup of coffee, ignoring him completely. Hazard straightened, his sharp eyes now fixed on you as if trying to solve a particularly tricky puzzle.

“Did I dae somethin’ wrong?” he asked, his voice soft but uncertain.

You refused to answer, calmly walking out of the kitchen with your coffee in hand, leaving him standing there, utterly perplexed.

=====

By midday, Hazard was in full panic mode.

“Hen! Bonnie! Love o’ my life!” he cried, trailing after you as you folded laundry. His Scottish brogue was thick, his tone dripping with desperation. “Don’t dae this tae me. Yer silence is killin’ me!”

You kept your face neutral, carefully folding a shirt as if his dramatic pleas weren’t happening beside you.

“Please” he begged, practically throwing himself on his knees in front of you. “At least tell me whit I did so I can make it right! Dae ye need flowers? Chocolate? I’ll write a poem if that’s whit it takes!”

You bit the inside of your cheek to stop yourself from laughing as he grabbed the edge of the laundry basket, staring up at you with wide, pleading eyes.

=====

By evening, Hazard was trying everything.

He stood in the living room, holding a beat-up guitar you hadn’t even known he owned. “This one’s for you, Hen” he declared, strumming an absolutely dreadful chord.

Your curiosity got the better of you, and you peeked over the book you were pretending to read.

Hazard began singing in an exaggerated, heartfelt tone:

“Oh, Hen, my bonnie Hen,

I’ve gone and messed up again.

Yer silence it haunts me,

Like a ghost in the glen!”

It was so bad it was good. You couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled out of you.

“Ah-ha!” Hazard cried triumphantly, pointing at you with the guitar pick. “Caught ye! Ye laughed! Ye cannae resist me, can ye?”

Realizing you’d broken, you tried to smother your laughter behind the book, but it was too late. Hazard grinned, setting the guitar aside and plopping down beside you.

“So…” he began, his brogue softer now, “am I forgiven, lass, or do I need tae whip up another wee tune for ye?”

You sighed, lowering the book. “Fine, you’re forgiven. But only because that song was so bad, it felt like punishment enough.”

Hazard chuckled, throwing an arm around you and pulling you close. “Och, Hen, I’m glad tae hear it. But ye better tell me whit I did tae upset ye. I cannae risk this happenin’ again.”

You smirked, leaning into him. “Oh, I don’t think I will. It’s more fun keeping you guessing.”

Hazard laughed, pressing a kiss to your temple. “Yer pure evil, ye ken that? But I wouldn’t change a thing aboot ye.”

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)

Thank you for requesting! Was a pleasure to write the soft boy!

Genji x Fem!Reader

Word count: 1061

Genji Shimada. The younger brother to Hanzo, a boy with no head, some would say. One could say he’s mischievous although fun, while one could say he’s immature, not suitable for leading or being within the Shimada Clan. 

You, however, didn’t see that. You didn’t see the playboy everyone called him, you saw someone having fun, someone enjoying their life as best they can considering the circumstances he was under. He was a boy you had your eyes on ever since you first saw him. Sure, the looks played a part in it, but his personality and fun nature drew you in further. You were lucky to get close to him one night, hands brushing against each other and you swore a spark was felt. 

Once he touched your hand, it was like a switch had been flicked. He practically dropped everything to get closer to you. There were no more drunken sex-crazed nights, no more playing around with other people. His focus was all on you. 

From then on, you and the boy would meet more often, slowly turning it into a daily thing. You would talk for hours on end, getting to know each other better. Your favourite places to go were the coffee shop and the park, spending hours upon hours within each others bubble. You would sit for hours, talking and laughing and it wasn't long after the frequent meetings that you became official partners. It was an afternoon you were going to remember for years to come; the sweet and rowdy boy was timid, fumbling over his words.

He was nervous and rightfully so when he asked you. He wasn’t entirely sure you felt the same way, but when you had exclaimed a loud ‘yes’, his ears perked up and a smile filled his entire face. His arms enveloped you in a tight, yet gentle embrace, hands stroking the small of your back as his face nuzzled into the side of your neck. 

From there on, date nights happened more frequently. Movie and takeout, Genji trying to beat you at any game whether that was in the arcade or at home, sometimes you’d just go for a simple walk around the parks, taking in the scenery. Genji would always look over at you, candid images of you saved within his memory, something he would always look back on. You were perfect for him. 

Everything was perfect.

You would always shower him in love and affection. From the small things such as gentle touching, kisses on the cheek or forehead when he wasn’t paying much attention. You’d find little gifts that you thought he’d like whenever you were out shopping, small gadgets, fidget toys that he could keep in his pocket, to the latest game he was raving about. 

He would thank you profusely, wondering what brought all this on. He had never felt this kind of love before, it was all new to him but he enjoyed it. Genji loved the affection, he loved the gifts, small and big and he felt as if he could never return that favour. Despite your protests, you never wanted anything in return and anything he did return was cherished just as much as he was. 

But then things changed for awhile and he got concerned, you became somewhat distant, conversations shortened and he panicked. He thought things were going south, but what brought it on he couldn’t figure out. 

Only when he came home from a family gathering did it all make sense. 

The living room lights were dimmed, candles were lit and there was a bouquet of roses on the table. Beside the flowers was a small note, one that he hesitantly picked up. Did I miss our anniversary? Is this the calm before the storm?

The look on his face when you entered the room was enough to make anxiety rise. You saw the panic within his eyes, but that quickly diminished the moment he looked you up and down. 

While wearing a more casual yet formal attire, you looked gorgeous. Genji felt his mouth open slightly as you approached him before his hands made their way to your hips, pulling you suddenly into a kiss.

Words were exchanged, ones of “I love you,” and “I need you,” passing between the pair of you as you seated on the sofa. Something is going on…

The ninja saw the hesitation, the way your cheeks flushed, eyes averting his and your hands staying behind your back. He was about to speak when you cut him off, hand holding his before sliding off the sofa, kneeling in front of him. 

His eyes widened slightly before he realised what was going on. You could feel his hand shake in your grasp as you removed your other hand from behind your back, showing him the ring seated in the leather box. A small, yet expensive silver ring seated between the padding sparkled under the candlelight.

“Genji Shimada-” you smile, “will you be my husband?” 

It’s like the temperature in the room heightened, a warmth spreading through both bodies before the ninja nodded his head, accepting the proposal. 

Sliding the ring onto his finger, he admired the metal before he pulls you up from the ground, arms wrapped tight around you as the box falls to the floor. He was gentle, yet his kisses were rough, hands roaming your back as he pulls you even closer to his body. He wasn’t wasting anytime as he picked you up, almost throwing you back down onto the sofa.

Hands tangled in hair, both his and yours, kisses shared between lips, tongues playing and exploring. Soft gasps and whimpers filled the room, and and exploration of each others bodies ensued. 

One night led to two, then to three… You and Genji were practically inseparable, more so now than ever; hands holding each others, fingers interlocking even within the warm weather of Hanamura. You didn’t want to leave his side, and he wasn’t ready to part from you either. 

Despite his family’s objection, he didn’t care. He was all for getting married with you. A partner in crime, he would say, kissing your forehead to dispel any worries or concerns. 

He was excited for what the future holds, and if it was anything like it was before, he was ready to love every single moment of it.
