I love your oblivious op!! Stories!!
-Mod
In that case, here's a peek of a short writing (draft) I'm currently working on, of more oblivious Optimus, for the moderator! đ (It's mostly a flustered warlord after an oblivious prime tho.)
---
Optimus Prime was in one of his more relaxed moods today, something that Megatron found simultaneously irritating and, well⌠fascinating. The mech seemed to float through the halls with a kind of effortless confidence, a spark of optimism in his optics that made it impossible for anyone to stay upset around him for long.
Megatron, on the other hand, was in no mood to appreciate such things, he was just trying to get through the day without throwing something at someoneâs face. His temper was at a slow simmer, not exactly anger but rather frustration, a strange irritation that cropped up whenever everything around him seemed calm. It made no sense to him, but that didnât stop it from happening. Somehow if anything, it was worse when people werenât angry at him.
"You're in a strange mood," Megatron muttered, crossing his arms as Optimus approached, a rare soft smile on his face.
Optimus turned to him with that familiar, unbothered air about him, his expression softened into something that resembled contentment. "I am? Well, I guess Iâve just been thinking," he said, offhandedly.
That was never a good sign. Megatron frowned and raised an optic ridge, bracing himself for whatever ridiculous statement was about to spill from Optimusâ lips. He had learned by now that no words ever came from the Prime without some level of deep, often profound sincerity. Optimus never seemed to realize how utterly... loving his words could sound. âThinking about what?â
Optimus hesitated for a moment, gaze drifting toward one of the windows as if searching the stars for words. âAbout... us. Everything weâve been through. What weâve become.â
Megatron narrowed his optics, ready to scoff, but Optimus didnât stop.
âI know we donât always see eye to eye,â Optimus said, voice low now, the tone gentler than usual. âAnd the past between us is... complicated. But no matter the distanceâno matter the miles, or cycles, or shadowsâweâve always found each other again. I suppose Iâve come to realize⌠I donât want that to ever stop.â
The former warlord stiffened slightly, unsure how to respond, but Optimus continuedâhis voice quiet, but unwavering.
âI still believe in you, Megatron. Even when you donât believe in yourself. Your strength, your convictionâthose arenât just relics of war. Theyâre part of who you are, and theyâve shaped more than just battlefields. Theyâve shaped me. And... Iâll always stand by you. Even if you donât always understand why.â
There was a pause. A heavy silence.
Optimus continued, unfazed by the way Megatron was glaring at him. He sighed, his voice a soft murmur, his words were meant for only one. "No matter the shadows of our past, I will never stop caring for you, Megatron. I will always believe in you, even when you cannot see your own worth. Your strength, your convictionâthose are not just remnants of war, but the very essence of who you are. And IâI will stand by you for as long as the stars burn bright, never wavering in my belief that there is more to you than what the universe has tried to define. You are someone worth fighting for, always."
Megatron stood frozen, every system in his body locking up in slow, stunned succession. His mouth opened, then closed. Then opened again.
Didâdid he justâ? Megatron blinked rapidly, heat flooding his faceplate. Was that... was that a confession?!
No. It couldnât be. Optimus couldnât possibly be aware of what heâd just said, right? He was always saying things like thatâdeep, philosophical, Prime-like thingsâwithout thinking about how romantic they sounded. That had to be it.
ExceptâŚ
His spark was fluttering. Fluttering.
Optimus smiled brightly, completely oblivious to the fact that he had just poured out what sounded like a confession that could melt even the coldest of sparks. "So yeah. Thatâs all I wanted to say. Iâll see you around, Megatron. Hope you have a good day!"
And with that, Optimus gave a casual wave, turning away to continue on his calm and fragging unfairly collected way as if nothing unusual had just occurred. As though he hadnât just cracked open his spark and handed it to Megatron on a silver platter.
Megatron stood frozen in place, his systems suddenly on overload. His faceplate flushedâwas that even possible for him? His spark fluttered uncomfortably, and his thoughts spiraled. Had he... had he just been romanced? No. No, that couldn't be right.
Optimus didnât even know what he was saying half the time, did he? The Prime had just confessed how much he cared for him, and for some reason, it sounded like the most romantic thing anyone had ever said to Megatron. But the problem wasâdid Optimus even know he was being romantic! He was just so cheerfully oblivious!
"Ugh," Megatron muttered, feeling the heat in his faceplate intensify. He gritted his teeth, desperate to collect himself. How was it possible that a mech like Optimus could make such an epic love declaration with the risk of still being oblivious? "Of all the slagging... Prime... youâ" he muttered to himself, rubbing his temples in frustration.
The Prime had turned to wave, his smile so genuine, and somehow... Megatron couldnât stop the flicker of something far deeper in his chest.
âFrag,â Megatron hissed, pressing the heel of his palm to his helm. âAny cryptic nonsense he could choose to spout and he chose this! Heâhe canât just say that and walk away!â
Yet Optimus had. Without flair, without any intention of cruelty. Without realizing, apparently, that he had just unraveled Megatronâs entire processor with one gentle, impossibly sincere statement.
Megatron glanced back, only to find the Prime already gone, the echo of his words still heavy in the air.
He scowled. Or tried to. It came out more like a grimace.
For now, he was left in the wake of Optimusâs (most likely unintentional) romantic confession, caught somewhere between bewilderment, irritation, andâwellâsomething else. Something far more complicated.
And as the moments stretched on, Megatron only had one thought echoing in his mind:
âI really need to have a conversation with that bot.â
---
Three Days Later
Megatron had not, in fact, had a conversation with that bot.
He had planned to. Several times. Heâd even rehearsed itâwell, muttered angrily to himself in a mirror until Knockout walked by and asked if he was finally cracking.
But every time he so much as caught a glimpse of Optimus in the hallway, all words abandoned him. His mouth would go dry, his optics would flicker, and instead of storming up to demand clarityâto ask, What the frag was that supposed to mean, Prime?!âhe would⌠turn around and leave.
Quickly.
Maybe too quickly.
âI am not avoiding him,â he snapped at Soundwave, who had cocked his helm at him in absolute silence for a full twenty seconds after Megatron took the long way around to avoid the conference room Optimus was in. âIâm simply taking the more tactically sound route. Which just so happens to be in the complete opposite direction.â
Soundwave said nothing. But Megatron could feel the judgment.
He wasnât hiding. He was observing. Gathering intel. Strategizing.
Which apparently involved watching Optimus from behind corners, ducking behind pillars like a coward, and absolutely not admitting to anyone that every time the Prime smiled at someone else, Megatronâs spark did something complicated and gross in his chest.
He even went so far as to try spying on the Autobot lounge onceâSoundwaveâs advice, surprisingly. Or perhaps just Soundwave being petty. Either way, Megatron found himself crouched beside a ventilation duct like a glitch-infected fool, watching as Optimus laughed softly with Ratchet over datapads.
It was unbearable.
Unbearably endearing.
âWhy is he like this,â Megatron hissed under his breath, gripping the edge of the duct. âWhy does he say things like Iâll stand by you for as long as the stars burn bright and then just... carry on like he didnât just wreck my entire spark chamber?!â
He groaned, thunking his head against the metal.
He couldnât take much more of this. His pride was suffering, his logic processors were overloaded, and worst of allâheâd started imagining conversations with Optimus in his head. Flirtatious ones. Gentle ones.
Disgusting.
âPrimus,â he muttered, dragging his claws down his face. âIâm pining. Iâm actually fragging pining.â
That was it. This had to end.
Tomorrow.
Definitely tomorrow.
Probably.
---
Day Four
âYouâre staring again,â Knockout said without even looking up from his datapad.
âI am not,â Megatron snapped, all too quickly.
âYou are,â Soundwave added, voice bland but with the faintest undertone of judgment.
âIâm monitoring potential threats!â Megatron growled. âThatâs strategic.â
âYouâve been monitoring Optimus Prime for twenty minutes,â Knockout pointed out dryly. âHeâs just reading.â
âHe could be plotting.â
âHeâs highlighting passages in a poetry anthology.â
Megatron narrowed his optics at the lounge window where Optimus sat, bathed in the gentle lighting of the rec room, a cup of energon in his hand and a contemplative look on his face.
It was unbearable.
No one had any right to look that serene. Or that handsome. Or that good in lighting.
âIâll stand by you for as long as the stars burn brightââ
Megatronâs claws clenched involuntarily.
âUgh.â
He turned away before he could get soft about it again and nearly walked face-first into a grinning, smug, and far-too-amused Starscream.
âWell, well,â the seeker purred. âThis is new.â
âWhat is.â Megatronâs tone was sharp, a warning wrapped in steel.
Starscream was not deterred. âYou, getting all dreamy-eyed over our favorite Prime. Are we finally owning up to that long-standing mutual obsession? Because frankly, itâs been killing the morale of everyone who has to witness your romantic incompetence.â
âI am notâ!â
âOh, you are.â Starscream leaned in close, voice dropping to a dramatic whisper. âItâs delicious. Youâve been skulking around corners like a glitch-ridden creeperbot, sighing whenever he walks by, and groaning into your servos like some kind of pre-war drama star.â
âI am not groaningâ!â
âYou literally did yesterday. In the middle of a tactics briefing. You sighed and said âPrimus, heâs unbearable.ââ
âThat was abouâabout you bring a general pain!â
âNo it wasnât,â Knockout chimed in from across the room, without looking up.
Megatron looked to Soundwave for backup. The spymaster tilted his helm ever so slightly.
Traitor.
Starscream grinned wider, smug satisfaction oozing from every polished strut. âSo. Are you going to actually talk to him, or should I just forward him the recording of your latest muttered meltdown in the corridor outside his quarters?â
Megatron froze. âYou⌠recorded me?â
Starscream wiggled his claws mockingly. âSoundwave did. I just watched it. Twice.â
Megatron inhaled slowly through his vents, his expression going perfectly still.
âStarscream.â
âYes, Lord Megatron?â
âI will melt you into a decorative wall sconce.â
Starscream beamed. âYouâll have to catch me first. Iâm light on my peds these daysâlove does that to a mech, I hear!â
The shriek of rage Megatron let out was entirely unbefitting a warlord.
From the far corner, Soundwave quietly played a three-second clip of Megatron muttering, âHow does he sound like he's proposing marriage with every third sentence?â
Starscream cackled as Megatron stormed out, trailing smoke and wounded pride behind him.
this has inspired me to begin writing a draft of a new fic, thank you petal covered cat
Beneath the blush of petals fair, A kitten dreams without a care. Soft breaths rise, the world grows still, Wrapped in pink, a gentle thrill.
Your peace, a muse without a soundâ A nap, a pose, the world unwound. Thank you, little petaled fairy of adorable light, For gifting me this bloom of inspiration to write.
I didn't burn a simple dish I was attempting. But while I was waiting for it to bake a funny conversation arrived in my mind.
Optimus and Megatron marry Post War. The following occurs after misunderstanding after misunderstanding. A resolution to their foolish angst and false assumptions.
---
Optimus: âI thought you didnât like me.â
Megatron: âWhat?! Iâve been leaving you energon! I made you tea!â
Optimus: âYou made it black with no sweetener!â
Megatron: âI thought you liked bitter things! You MARRIED ME!â
They stared at each other.
Optimus whispered, âDo you want to hug me?â
Megatron: ââŚYes.â
They awkwardly leaned toward each other, paused, leaned back, then both reached again and collided with a painful clank.
But once arms were around waists, frames pressed together, they didnât let go.
Megatron buried his helm in Optimusâs neck.
Megatron: âI thought you hated me.â
Optimus: âI thought I was too needy.â
Megatron: ââŚYou are needy.â
Optimus: âYou hissed when I touched your shoulder once.â
Megatron: âI was startled! What did you expect!â
Optimus chuckled, rough and joyful. âWeâre very stupid.â
Megatron: âYes. Hug me tighter.â
Chapter ?: âYou Poor, Single Aftâ
Peace was supposed to be quiet.
Not easyâbut quiet.
Instead, Optimus stood in the center of the High Council chamber, optics dim with exhaustion, surrounded by squabbling diplomats and far too much polished stone. He kept his expression neutral, his shoulders squared.
The Matrix, nestled within his chest, pulsed.
Warmth spread through his sparkâsudden, sharp, and intense.
He froze.
A powerful wave of longing rolled through his core, unfamiliar and dizzying. A vision bloomed behind his optics unbidden. âhands cupping a face âforeheads pressed together âa kiss that made the world still
Optimus inhaled sharply.
To his right, Ratchet gave him a concerned glance. âHeadache?â
ââŚNo,â he said quickly. âThe Matrix is⌠active today.â
Ratchet stared. âActive as in âwisdom of the ancientsâ or active as in⌠wellâyouâre blushing.â
âI am notââ Optimus stopped himself. Recalibrated. Lowered his voice. âI am simply⌠warm.â
Ratchet did not look convinced.
Across the chamber, the diplomats debated the stability of Kaonâs outer bridges. Optimus tried to listenâhe truly didâbut then another wave hit him. This time, it came not as heat but a heartbeat. Not his. Someone elseâs. Deep, slow. A familiar rhythm.
His optics flicked upâunthinkinglyâsearching for the source.
And found Megatron.
The ex-warlord stood in the far corner, arms folded, posture stiff and proud, optics flicking over the chamber like a bored cat sizing up lesser beings. The light caught along the silver of his plating. His scowl was⌠elegant. Unmoving.
The Matrix surged.
Another image. âMegatron, laughing, hand resting on Optimusâ chest âMegatron asleep, curled beside him âMegatron in a flowing silver cape, walking down an aisle of lightâtoward him
Optimusâs field jolted. He staggered.
Megatronâs head turned sharply, optics narrowing.
ââŚIs something wrong, Prime?â
Optimus scrambled for composure. âNo,â he managed, voice thick. âEverything is⌠functioning.â
Megatron looked him over with that intense gaze that made Optimus feel picked apart, examined down to his smallest screws.
âYou were staring,â Megatron said slowly.
âWas I?â Optimus asked too quickly. âI wasnât. I was lookingâpast you.â
âThereâs no one behind me.â
âAh.â Optimusâs hands twitched. âSo there isnât.â
Ratchet leaned closer. âDo I need to drag you to medbay?â
âNo,â Optimus said a little too fast.
The Matrix pulsed again, hotter this timeâalmost desperate. Longing coiled in his spark, visceral and aching. Not just his. It felt like someone elseâs, too. Someone hollow. Waiting.
His optics drifted back to Megatron.
Megatron was staring again, a frown tugging at the corner of his mouth. Suspicion and⌠confusion?
Another image burst behind Optimusâs optics. âhis own hand brushing the side of Megatronâs face âMegatronâs lips parting in surprise, leaning in âthe feeling of something clicking into place, finally, completelyâ
Optimus forced a breath. âWe should revisit the Kaon bridge plans later.â
One of the diplomats looked up in confusion. âBut we havenât finishedââ
Megatronâs voice cut in, low and sharp. âKaon is mine. You do not reroute anything without my explicit approval.â
The Matrix responded instantly.
A final imageâthis one hazy but heavy with feelingâMegatron curled against his side, breath soft, whispering something into his chest.
Optimus didnât hear the words. But his spark clenched like it already knew them.
He blinked hard. âMeeting adjourned.â
And walked outâface calm, expression unreadable.
Even as his spark roared.

The matrix ships it and has begun actively trying to do something.
I got bored while editing a poster. Does anyone know good advice to draw?
How do you draw eyes, and arms, and legs, and a torso, etc?
Is there like a beginners tutorial because I would love that idea.
I'm currently trying to draw tfp Megatron's thighs. This is all I have so far, I'm not an artist unfortunately so everything takes way too much time and is subpar.
Anyone else obsessed with a certain warlords thighs?
I don't really need to label anything since no one's going to steal this, I just got bored when I kept messing up drawing his armor stuff.
Update on my slow attempt at a certain warlords thighs âď¸.
Some important information on online safety that should be shared.
Farewell online privacy
i feel seen at this post, also I figured out how to reblog stuff, (I don't click any buttons randomly unless I research/find out what it is or risk accidently buying something again)
Some idiot: "Why are you reading your own fic, that's shallow and stupid"
All fanfic writers and writers everywhere: "Who the fuck do you think I wrote it for?!"
Picture from @charolyn, in her videos she posts possible ideas.
I definitely want to write something like this.
To be edited.
NOTE: This will be made into a full work.
This is a potential idea. The short portion below would probably be somewhere near the ending of this story after a lot of ⨠feelings, drama, and piningâ¨.
----
During yet another painfully familiar attempt at a peace treatyâone of countless efforts that had all ended in spectacular failureâOptimus Prime finds himself exhausted. Worn down not just by war, but by the endless cycle of hope and disappointment. Still, he persists. He has to. For Cybertron.
But when words fail once again, and negotiations spiral into the usual shouting and threats, Optimus tries something⌠different.
He proposes.
To Megatron.
Megatron, caught off guard, turns a shade of blue no Decepticon has ever achieved, screams a storm of profanities and obscenities, and promptly flees the scene by punching through a wall and making his tactical retreat.
What follows is an agonizing stretch of silence, longing, and entirely too many feelings. Untilâfinallyâ

Title: Peace Through Passion: Article I
--The Proposal That Ended the War--
Peace talks had never been pleasant, but this one was particularly wretched.
Megatron was lounging sideways across his chair like he owned the building (he did not), Soundwave had hacked the holoscreens to loop footage of Optimus getting hit by debris (again), and Starscream had already said, âMaybe we should just assassinate the Prime,â at least twice.
Optimus, trying to remain diplomatic: âWe cannot kill our way into a future, Starscream.â
Starscream: âThat sounds like weak Autobot talk.â
Meanwhile, Bumblebee was stress-eating energon cubes, Ultra Magnus was shifting albeit minimally , and Arcee was sharpening a blade with a look that said she wasnât opposed to ending someone.
And thenâit happened.
Megatron leaned back with that insufferable smirk, voice like smoke: âYouâll never get what you want, Prime. You never do.â
And something in Optimus just⌠broke.
Tired. Lonely. Overwhelmed. Drenched in the sound of decades of war and Megatronâs voice echoing in his head.
So he said: "Then marry me, and we can stop fighting forever."
The room froze.
Soundwaveâs optic flared. Starscream gasped like heâd won a drama award. Arcee whispered âWhat the actual frag.â Ultra Magnus fainted.
Megatron? Megatron turned blue. The deepest, most mortified, short-circuiting shade of blue.
He made a strangled noise.
Pointed at Optimus with the most accusatory servo Cybertron had ever seen.
And then screamed: "YOUâYOUâINSUFFERABLE, SELF-RIGHTEOUSâROMANTIC FRAGGER!"
Then he ran. Literally ran, punching straight through the hundreds of pounds of steel, and dashing out. Shouting obscenities. Down the hall. Out the building.
Post / The Fallout- Oblivious Prime Strikes Again (the mech not my username, lol)
Optimus: ââŚWas it something I said?â
Ratchet stared at his very foolish friend:
â... Optimus...You proposed to the Megatron.ââ
Bumblebee excitedly witnessing the whole situation: âThis is the best day of my life.â
And from that moment on, everything changed.
--The Pining--
Optimus sent flowers.
Daily.
Soundwave kept posting âupdatesâ that were really just edited footage of Megatron brooding on cliffs with dramatic music.
Ultra Magnus locked himself in a closet again. Occasionally screamed into the void.
The treaty was unofficially renamed The Accord of Romantic Intentions.
Ratchet accepted the situation and created an entire seating for potential wedding guests.
Starscream wrote several thinly veiled fanfics and tried to sell them to Knockout.
Optimus tried to be noble. Patient. Dignified.
But secretly?
He missed Megatron so much it hurt.
He missed their fights. Their arguments. The way Megatronâs optics flared when he got mad. That arrogant smirk. The fury.
The fire.
He loved him. Stupidly, endlessly, hopelessly loved him.
And now Megatron was a avoiding him.
--The Return--
Lightning split the sky. Thunder cracked. Dramatically.
And the door to the lounge exploded open.
Megatron stood there, drenched, furious, glowing with righteous rage.
He kicked the door aside and yelled:
âYOU CANâT JUST LOVE ME, IâM TERRIBLE AT EMOTIONS AND ABSOLUTELY A WAR CRIMINAL!â
Then he hurled the bouquet, yet another one of the Prime's courting gifts, at Optimus.
It was Heliotropes, Forget-me-nots, Red Asters, Hyacinths, and Edelweiss.
Optimus caught it. Smiled.
âThen weâre both disasters. Letâs be terrible together.â
Silence. Crackling lightning. And a flustered warlord.
Megatron stomped forward, grabbed his pauldron, dragged him down, and snarled:
âIf youâre going to marry me, you better mean it.â
Optimus, voice soft: âI have a cape picked out.â
Megatron, flushing cobalt: âI HATE YOU.â
Optimus, dreamily: âYou will look radiant.â
Starscream sobbed in laughter in the background. Ultra Magnus fainted. Soundwave projected doves and sparkles.
Miko eavesdropping: âNO ONE TELL ME WHATâS HAPPENING!â
----
