"That's how I'd know"

I told you Orion knew one thing

“Be thankful for all the difficult people in your life, and learn from them. They have shown you exactly who you do not want to be.”

When someone dies their silence becomes a sort of held note, a key on the piano pressed down for so long it becomes an ache in the ear, a new sonic register from which we start to measure our new, ruptured lives. A white noise. Maybe this is why there is so much music in dying: the funerals, the singing, the hymns, the eulogies. All those sounds crowding the air with what the dead can’t say.

I don’t remember if it was you or another blog.

But I remember seeing a single mom reader x Optimus. And the reader’s kid was a teen, and I found it so funny.

But imagine if the kid was a bit younger, like 3-9. Idk about you or anyone else, but I was an absolute YAPPER! At that age. Like giving animal facts and everything, because I had just watched wild krats and the world MUST know that cheetah’s have their own emotional support dogs.

Imagine Optimus trying to bond with the baby because he likes reader, and he just chilling with the kiddo while reading through some stuff.

Kiddo: did you know manatees can’t be mean?

Optimus just trying to work: I didn’t.

Kiddo: did you now cow’s have best friends?

Optimus: that’s nice.

Kiddo: did you know-

Optimus debating his life choice: do I like them that much?… yes- (he’s whipped)

Sorry for the yap session, I just thought it was cute 🤣. There needs to be more single mom reader x Optimus fics fr fr.

Step!dad Opti is doing things to me man, I love this so much, never apologize for your yap sessions

He would be so patient with his (though you don’t know it yet) adoptive kid. He listens to absolutely everything they tell him, and after every meeting, he walks away richer with fifty new facts about Earth’s flora and fauna. And thanks to his dedication to the child’s endless chatter, he’s bound to quickly earn the status of a cool alien father figure in their eyes <3

Imagine — one day, the kid brings him a drawing of Optimus, you, and themselves in the middle, just like kids often draw their families. Opti would definitely staple that drawing straight to his spark and think about it 24/7 <3

The fact that I’m silent doesn’t mean I have nothing to say.

im losing my marbles over the fact that elita SAID that she was happy that dee had someone close to him. she said she was happy he found someone like that but he had to balance hanging out with orion and his work like WHICH IS GENUINE GOOD ADVICE.

and then dee still said that orion was insignificant... he didn't need to somehow prove that orion wasn't a distraction. he didn't need to make it clear that orion didn't mean anything to him. elita knows that orion means something. and she congratulated dee on finding someone like that. and then dee still turned around and denounced it. ohhhh my heart.

and the fact that ORION HEARD THE WHOLE CONVERSATION..... it's not even miscommunication, orion has all of the context. it's just flat out dee denying that he means anything to him. and dee means so so much to orion. i cannot see any way this will end badly /silly

YOU'RE RIGHT AND THIS IS PERFECT SUMMARY OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CONVEYED OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO KISS YOU

People were saying it's Elita's fault like NO! Don't baby D-16 here, it's all him. In that moment, he felt that his feelings for Orion were a weakness or a wound that the public could sneer and poke at but that's not it at all??? He was trying to overcompensate for his lack of security and and in turn said things that hurt Orion.

We all say things that we didn't think through and when it hurts people, WE SUCK IT UP AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. There's no miscommunication, that boy did this to himself
