Have You Ever Read A Fanfic So Good That You Wanted To Write A Fanfic About That Fanfic, But Was Too

have you ever read a fanfic so good that you wanted to write a fanfic about that fanfic, but was too shy / too intimidated to ask for the author’s permission and too afraid that your writing wouldn’t be half as good as theirs and that it would be an insult to their work that was basically a literal masterpiece, so you just sat there fantasizing about their work and how beautiful it was and how you wished you could just eat it and how you wished canon could write your blorbos half as good as this writer did and how you just wanted to cry because you just loved that fic so much????

Did you know? All versions of Optimus Prime canonically go into a version of the Old Maccadam Oil House once they die. They hang around together, drinking energon and talking to each others for eternity (unless they gets resurrected). This was revealed in the book Transformers Legends, an anthology of short stories published in 2004 by ibooks, who also published the Transformers Trilogy novels, who are set in the Dreamwave continuity and are set between the first two miniseries.

That’s a really nice thought! But wait… TFA Optimus died but he was only dead for about, what, ten seconds? Does that mean TFA Optimus turned up at the Old Maccadam Oil House, just ordered his drink and then he got resurrected. That drink he ordered is still waiting on him at Maccadam’s.

Cybertronian monopoly would be chaotic

It would indeed anon. I bet their version of monopoly focuses heavily upon picking a function and rising castes. Functionalism at its finest. Underhanded game deals are 100% legal and encouraged. Political arrangements are part of the game. Playing dirty is just how you win.

There has not been a single game that has not ended with someone being sly. Even Optimus is not above using his inherent "Holy" persona to distract people enough to trap them on his properties.

Papa Prime Headcanons

Jack once nearly fell of Arcee after a ko burger shifts and a long school day, since then Optimus picks Jack up. Optimus doesn't show it but it makes him happy that he gets to spend time with Jack. So when he picks him up, Jack often falls asleep. Optimus knows that and purposefully drives a longer way to the base.

Once Miko fell sick and Bulkhead was on a space mission with Wheeljack. Miko didn't want to rest so Optimus offered to carry her around, which she accepted. He didn't put her down even after she fell asleep and did all of his work with one servo.

When it gets to loud in the base or Miko gets to wild, Optimus let's Raf study and read in his personal hab suite.

Jack sees Optimus as his father figure and unintentionally calles him dad whenever he falls asleep in Optimuses cab.

Miko came up with the nickname Papa Prime which ended with her once accidentally calling Optimus "Papa" instead of "Prime".

Raf made a father's day present together with Bumblebee and gifted it to Optimus. It was a photo album of the autobots and humans with a handwritten letter.

AO3 easy trick: sometimes when I want to leave a comment on a fic but I dont know what to say specifically I'll just paste my favorite line(s)/little paragraph and then write something like "I loved this so much/this fic is amazing" or even just a string of hearts.

writers love knowing what lines stuck the most and this way you don't need to elaborate too much of your own

Tumblr ate my last goddamn caption but it boiled down to:

Team Prime = The Nine Nine

@miss-stary-eyes every Optimus thigh I draw is dedicated to you 👌❤️
