My intro! <3

(Last updated: 02/28/26)

Hello Tumblr! It's very nice to be here in this community. I hope you enjoy my works and your day :)

My user may be 'poetnix29', but feel free to call me Poetnix or just Nix.

Found me through my art? Here's the page just for that!

Birthday: I was born on June 29.

Gender + Pronouns: I am not revealing my gender but I'm okay with any pronouns anytime.

Nationality: I am a proud Filipino!🇵🇭

Current interests: Transformers, Metallica (not really a fandom but whatevs), CRK, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Other places you can find me: Ao3 (Archive of Our Own)

Now some fun facts/a short Q&A about me and my poetry~

↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Why did you choose 'Poetnix' as your user/nickname online?

A: 'Poetnix' is actually a combination between the words 'poet' and 'phoenix'. Phoenix is my second name and 'poet' because.. well.. I write poetry!

Q: What languages do you speak?

A: I am more fluent in English, ironically (Mostly the reason why I write poetry in the first place). I speak Filipino as well, not the most fluent. I'm looking in to learn FSL (Filipino Sign Language)!

Q: What is your aim with this account?

A: Just to share some poetry and my love for the Transformers franchise.

Q: Why do you put '(More info under the cut.)' at the bottom of your poems?

A: I put that because I wish to tell people of my point of inspiration, my personal interpretation of my own poems, and some other details that may help you as a reader to better understand my works :)

Q: How do we know it's you actually replying to our asks?

A: I always put a '-🖋️' at the end.

Running (but don't be a coward).

I saw you running all the way across the dark,

You have me wanting more for something that is so far,

A strange feeling that tells me that between us, those differences aren't so stark,

And gods know what I'd do to speak to you and rid of the taste of tar.

I find myself unsure, whether I am running to you or you are to me,

I must be delusional - are you as close as you seem, or must I wait once more?

Until you are finally here, or rather if we are meant to be,

But even after all this time, I find myself asking "what for?"

I'd always admire you from afar just to see if you are there,

Though it is not me you desire, it is good to know you are at peace,

And though it is me you hate most, I find myself wondering why I care,

Even then, I must return your blows than to admit I'd let you tear me piece by piece.

It is so easy to find me walking all alone, but I wonder why?

I should be blind for thinking, despite my words, you would walk beside me too,

I've heard them say time and time, asking me "why?"

Why can't I even begin to let you go?

(More info under the cut.)

So uhh, I don't really have much to say other than I'm back? Lol

[poetnix29]

To whom faces the gun.

I would wander through every planet and world,

As I wonder, as I turn and the very notion begins to swirl,

The very notion that perhaps you could have saved another life such as me then,

But I am only thing you despise, I am only a curse Primus-sent.

Then so be it, allow me to apologize for that feeling that wouldn't budge,

Because let me tell you, neither of us had the right to be the judge,

Yet it is as if my hand is forced to place my discernment,

Why is it you who are the accused that must face the punishment?

Who gave that authority, as if I am the appraiser of gold?

Have we not seen before that those very towers built from it are lies of old?

Do they truly desire so much for someone to condemn the accused "unrighteous",

Just so they too could, whether wrong or right, call it justice?

Go claim that you love me - and with faith, worship a god,

And let me be grateful for such blessings when they love me not,

Is it by my veracious fault that I had left,

When for the same reason is why you rather not have me dead?

Name each of my omissions and pray with a cry,

When I see your red optics, I hear only a lie,

They are neither evil nor pure - but I'd rather speak with no mockery,

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, - have you not yet noticed such irony?

For in love or war, they say that all is fair,

Between you and I, notwithstanding the smoke in the air,

Choking and waiting for you to kiss me once again,

But one of us has to leave for our own selfish gain.

Not to call you selfish, for you were already everything to me,

I'd rather place such an epithet on I than to let you be,

I would rather stand in the very face of unnerving terror,

And find myself turning gray than to be your judge, jury, and executioner.

I found that loved you, of which you force me to admit,

Regardless, it has been long since I have begun to feel poison from your beloved wit,

Good night, my friend - until we meet once again,

But until then, let me ponder to whom faces the gun.

(More info under the cut.)

- (Okay WOW, it has been a hot minutes since I have posted. My messages tab disappeared too??)

- They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

- But so is justice in the eye of history.

[poetnix29]

Anyone know why the messages tab is gone??😭😭

I need help finding a MegOp fic on AO3☝️😭

The problem is, I only remember the last parts BAHAHA🥲 so basically in the chapter I remember (not sure if it's multi chap), the fic being set post-war, Megatron and Optimus are sent to trial together and holding hands and saying their last words to each other beforehand in case they get executed (and they know it's very likely). Of course, like they expected, they get sentenced to capital punishment for being warlords and all, the whole almost destroying the planet and the war itself.

HOWEVER, they are given a second chance since the public sees they are actively trying to redeem themselves. Megatron gets to command Cybertron's military and Optimus gets to help in leading Cybertron (and its government I think). Idk, that's what I remember at least😭

Thank you for your time!😋

[poetnix29]

The liar's truth (and the lesson i never learned).

Could we every flee from this so called promise,

A simple dream we had called ours?

For a world I once wanted as compromise,

It was a nightmare you choked me with for hours.

Would you still believe me,

Or would be happy if you never did?

And isn't it ironic I stand the liar, meant to be?

You have what I could never give - the truth.

I wanted to bring glory to our days,

Just as you once did,

And with this price I am left here to pay,

I know there is only more for you to bid.

So I ask, would you smile for me once more?

Even if I was "your" sol, I had only burned,

Just as you were my moon, closer than I could to the world,

For loving you too was the lesson I never learned.

(More info under the cut.)

In the quiet aftermath of a war wage, and once called their justice, it felt more like destiny. Fate, rather.

And so, Megatron finds speaking his truths. Yet, they were only lies to those who'd find themselves listening.

A confession, it was. A plea, his regret, his love unlearned.

If only the silence would talk back. If only the moon would, if the stars never would.

[poetnix29]

Fly little bird (and fall just as I did).

Aren't you just adorable?

Thinking something could be.. recognizable,

In a world long gone,

But my dear, I was never the one.

Ah.. how I loved playing your little game,

It was so easy for you to entertain,

Though it was much more fun back when you were oblivious,

I "loved" you too, isn't it obvious?

Even then, I think there's something sick in missing you,

Yet you tell me the same, oh but it's true!

You'll be nothing without me, love,

Let me play and pluck your feathers again, dove.

(More info under the cut.)

Optimus had loved loving Megatron.

Some mechs had questioned though on "how".

Those mechs were long gone.

[poetnix29]

Honor-bound.

[MegOP Week 2025 - Day 5: Chance/Pledge]

I will protect our world,

To let it live as a whole,

As a Prime, meant to bring order,

But it seems I have no right to call you lover.

This duty is no burden,

Though seeing you there, old friend,

On the battlefield, there is a sentiment I share,

Is this truly, to us, fair?

I am honor-bound, willingly to our people,

Pledged to protect the sparks of all,

Nonetheless, I love you, it is true,

Even so, I am chained to choose them - over you.

(More info under the cut.)

Ever since Orion turned into Optimus Prime, he wondered.. was it fair?

Especially if it was because he lost his most dearest?

[poetnix29]

The Hunter.

[MegOP Week 2025 - Day 4: Weapon/Creation]

See the stars in the sky?

You were once just as bright,

But now I realize who I put my trust in,

It was always you, my Orion.

Perhaps you were right,

I am like him, destined that night,

But we were fools that day,

Thinking a new world was what we'd create.

I find myself wondering, that night,

If we were meant to burn so bright,

Instead we made a burning flame,

Why did I decide to put the blame, on you?

I stare at the stars in the sky,

Destruction, you were the reason why,

Some twisted creation by disaster that seemed to tax,

How ironic, no, Pax?

(More info under the cut.)

After Sentinel's rule, they needed to change the world and break it out of their chains.

It just so happened that Megatron and Optimus found different ways to do so. Different methods of creation.

And a certain silver mech doesn't know if he regrets it.

[poetnix29]

Rebel in the blood shed.

[MegOP Day 3: Revolution/Instinct]

They preached their lies,

All while ignoring our own cries,

Do I then hold the responsibility of hearing theirs?

They were the ones who left us bare.

Should I take your servo?

Alas they forced me to have nothing to hold,

Tell me, was I in the wrong?

It was their torture (and your love) that consumed so long.

Why are we to be held down like this?

And though, I miss your optics,

It is you they claim to be their savior (and the one I loved),

When it is I, who made the revolution.

(More info under the cut.)

D-16 knew it was wrong,

But Megatron saw it was the only thing that could be done.

Even if he lost the very reason why.

[poetnix29]

Falling for a lie.

[MegOP Week 2025 - Day 2: Protect/Denial, uh.. I did both?]

I had thought, what if I could have?

If not your other half,

Then perhaps more to us?

I beg, let me try again if I must.

I tried to save you too,

Protect you, I hoped you knew,

Though I was a fool (for you) to think it was so,

Standing as a friend (I prayed it was more), now a foe.

"Don't be like him," I said,

And suddenly, you took my hand,

I cried as I fell (why..? why?! WHY DID YOU- HOW COULD-),

Know I had failed (to love you as you did to me).

(More info under the cut.)

Orion tried stopping D-16 from losing himself, but how.. if Pax had already did?

Somehow that haunted Orion more than the fact the last thing see saw was the yellow turned red light, the one that once lit his world.

[poetnix29]

For a time.

[MegOP Week 2025 - Day 1: Past/Smile]

Oh how I miss the days of pardon,

When we were mere mechs in the sun,

Than having no regard from where we came from,

Oh how we were naive to what we'd become.

How were we to be free from the artifices the highest put down on us,

If we could not even be free from ourselves?

Our foolishness we called love left us stuck in our own false ownership,

Just as they too did, and called it kinship - just as we did.

  Prime, how funny is it to you,

Your optics and the sky, no longer the same blue?

I had too wondered why,

Then won't I be also wondering why we said our goodbyes?

(More info under the cut.)

To be honest, it is funny.

They were both friends. (Were they more? Megatron didn't know anymore.)

Because the real question, could they even be more when they became lesser?

[poetnix29]

As it was (never meant to be).

If we went back in time,

Would you love me the same way?

If loving is such a crime,

Then forget who I was, day by day.

If you really want me gone,

Then could you do me a favor?

Tell me if I was the one,

Or was the one you had cursed.

I still remember when you cried,

Was it tears, or were you bleeding blood?

I don't know how I didn't die,

Knowing you wish I would.

You gave me a taste of my own medicine,

Even then, do you miss me?

Though with something and our sins,

Perhaps it never was meant to be.

(More info under the cut.)

Optimus remembers. Primus forbid, he still does.

He remembers everything - he remembers D-16-- Megatron. Optimus is left to wonder if love was ever part of.. anything, or just another accident.

Was it ever real? Or was it never meant to be to start with?

[poetnix29]

I let you fall (so let me drown).

Is it not strange how nothing seems to stay,

Is there really no other way?

I'm trying to smile for you, but keeping the blank mask,

While you dance, silently crying like it's your last.

Can you drown in waters far too shallow?

It seems you can, I hoped those weren't your tears I too swallowed,

But I was wrong once more, you'd fall again and again,

And you fail to realize my own light can flicker, fade, gone.

You say you want to help,

However, amice vetus, it's too late for a lost dog to give a crying yelp,

We're both broken, don't forget that,

Understand for once this is our last.

He let Orion fall. That was the easy part.

But now? Megatron misses- (He misses Orion..) Optimus.

He’s a fool and it's far too late, but even the war that felt like home won’t forgive him.

(But deep down, he knew that Orion was the only home that felt safe.)

Further rules and specifications will be posted closer to the event, but here's a quick run-down of how it works:

All content related to Megatron and Optimus Prime in a relationship is allowed, whether romantic, sexual, platonic, or familial.

Although the event/blog name is "megop," opmeg content is also allowed; there's no restrictions related to who's the top/bottom, dominant/submissive, etc.

This event is NSFW-friendly and dark content-friendly (so long as everything is tagged properly).

This event is OT3+/poly/multiship-friendly, as long as Megatron and Optimus are the primary characters/ship involved

Only new submissions will be included in the event collection on AO3, Tumblr, etc. However, it's also okay to post something like a multichapter fic that isn't completed within the time limit of MegOP Week, so long as it's a brand-new piece that hasn't been previously uploaded before.

[poetnix29]

How.. dare you?

You made it all feel.. like joke,

But make no mistake, it never was to me,

Then again, what stopped you even when my spark broke?

When you left, was it lies I was supposed to believe?

You made it feel like a dream too, do you know that?

Despite everything, you would still care,

You still did even when we didn't follow the format,

In spite of that, you turned to be my greatest nightmare.

Why had you changed.. too much?

And for all one knows, maybe so did I,

Now that all I feel is pain from your touch,

How much is there left in us to die?

(More info under the cut.)

Optimus shouldn't have forced Megatron to leave Iacon.

Because something he loved left with it.

(Note: can I just say this one hurt to write? xbjknrsgtvs)

(i deeply apologize for not updating in a whole freaking month or more gang :') )

[poetnix29]

Love is a fragile thing (and it was never mine to have).

Was it hard to think I felt the same?

Even when I defied my own beliefs because.. because..

But tell me, who is really to blame?

Especially when an "I love you" is the cause?!

Yet.. I wonder how I could even do so to you,

Until now, I cannot believe that I still do,

And to think, I loved you through and through,

So I ask, did you even love me too?

You were a spark when it was cold as winter,

I never expected at a place of war was a response so uncandid,

To my question, there was only one answer,

That perhaps.. when you "loved me," you never did.

(More info under the cut.)

After everything Orion did for Megatronus..

Fight for him, with him. Support him.

..Love him.

Yet.. what happened in the end?

Was it worth it?

(AKA: Orion crashes out.)

(Note: First poem where one of them crashes out.)
