Random headcanon of mine on Tfp Optimus Prime

I maybe was inspired by a post on this headcanon but I think I also had this in my mind for quite some time lol

Anywho so…

What if he was a tribal Cybertronian that and the tribe was called the Paxi

And they’re an old tribe that use to be one of the big tribes of Cybertron. The Paxi were known for having beautiful optics of amazing blue optics. Hence their literal tribe name translated would be Star Eye. 

They always have a unique shape in eyes and beautiful blue pools. They also came in vibrant colors ranging on color theory and use to be very big on worshipping stars. When Orion Pax aka Optimus was very young he was kind of “adopted” by Alpha Trion who domesticated him from a young age. The name Orion is a Paxi name and Pax is short Paxi. Which gives homage to his roots. 

It’s controversial with his relationship with Alpha Trion as he was a literal feral sparkling “forced” to be more civilized and domestic to the point he actually did and be came completely comfortable with it. It’s also because Alpha Trion he loves to read and learn. 

But the sad thing is he is the last of the Paxi as they no longer existed by the he was a grown Orion Pax because by then they went naturally extinct due to less Paxi being created and them dying in reservations. It’s quite common since back then the Functionalists never cared on the safety or security or general health of the tribes in the reservations and many tribes sadly couldn’t handle the harsh conditions or lack of energon being supplied. This didn’t just affect the Paxi it also affected other tribes stuck in reservations too it just depends because some found a way to adapt a little longer or keep going and some sadly couldn’t keep for the long run like the Paxi. 

By the time Orion Pax became Optimus Prime and the war on Cybertron began uhh literally all of tribes that managed to survive the functionalists all died in the war with like only a few or no survivors.

Idk I think it’s a cool headcanon. Now I wish I could see a Tfp Optimus Prime in like cool tribal markings decorating the optics. The Paxi would have loved makeup, the tribe would have been so happy to learn the existence of eyeliner, eyeshadow, and other makeup products eyes. But I think they would also have stuff like that. Not like human makeup. But for them it’s more like sacred and tribal but it works like regular makeup and they pair it up with face paint and often use other things like little gems and make beautiful art work with their face.

The Paxi tribe was a tribe that worshipped the idea of eyes and the face such a beautiful thing that should celebrated and decorated. No matter what face you had they believed all were beautiful and worshipping your beauty was a wonderful thing. Very positive tribe. Too bad they didn’t last.

Optimus when he was Orion Pax probably tried doing face painting but it was mediocre at best. And unfortunately most likely as things that were of tribes or clans were often seen as “feral”, “uncivilized” or “evil” things. This unfortunately had Orion stop doing the Paxi painting of the face…

I like to think now as Optimus at some point he tries Paxi face painting. He’s much better at doing it now. And slowly is trying to find a way to embrace his Paxi roots <3

That’s my yap for the day lol

cya!! And take care <3

Kelan is a Viscount from TFA onward. His father, Ansley Velize, dies and he inherits the title. His family is from Ixltar in the core but he grew up in a Manor on Arkanis where his great-grandfather settled over 100 years ago.

His family made their billions through trade, galactic exports, advertising and trade. They colonized a lot of smaller, less developed worlds when expanding their trade route and manufacturing. Due to inter-family drama and business opportunity, Ansley's grandfather settled his family in their vacation manor on Arkanis. As magistrate of this simple, sea, mining and pastoral planet, he became a small god. The senior Velize was responsible for developing the planet's cities and bringing over many elite families to colonize the world.

Pigment and Valentine?

pigment; what color is your hair naturally? if you could dye it any color which one would you choose?

My hair is naturally a dark brown color! If you were to find it in a crayola crayon box it would probs be called “Burnt Umber Brown”

I’d loooove to dye it a dark pink or a dark red purple color. I even have the box but I don’t know how to properly dye hair myself. I know there are some countries who are always dying their hair or know how to do a good job with it but I personally don’t know them well enough to ask.

valentine; best gift you’ve ever received?

In the 1800s, it wasn’t really socially acceptable to be in a interracial marriage, especially in European as they acquired non-white countries as colonies. How would Yandere England react to all the negative reactions he’s going to receive from all around, especially with his government and fellow Western peers? (It’s one thing to have a member of non-white race as a lover, but a whole another thing to actually marry them in those days as it kinda implied that you saw them as kinda equal to white women. The human darling had of course consented to the marriage and relationship but is nervous about any potential backlash.)

• now, i'm pretty sure countries can't do anything against their boss, or at least that's what i headcanon. so for arthur to marry a PoC, and a human at that, i can imagine the backlash from his peers pales in comparison to what his boss would have to say about it. so for that reason alone, i can't see this being very likely?, but at the same time I can?. it's a very interesting concept, as the british empire, most powerful empire in the world at the time, he would both be aware of his position and want to preserve his reputation, he'd also have been arrogant and believe he should have whatever he desires.

• so i can imagine he'd be smart enough to keep the whole thing a secret. arthur would present his darling as his personal servant, still a bit controversial for the time i suppose, but he wouldn't even notice the backlash if any. and would court them in private, which would prove difficult considering his place in the world at the time.

• it would be either france or spain that would 'expose' the marriage to the world, and believe me when i say arthur is pissed. he wants to declare war and rip them into shreads, but he also has to deal with his bosses backlash, which is far worse then a couple petty insults. whoever his boss is at the time would, as you can imagine, demand he divorce his darling, but arthur wouldn't go down without a fight, so there are a few ways this could end.

• best case scenario is that eventually the matter is forgotten, england would opt to trying to find something to overshadow his marriage, and then by the time it's over everyones forgotten he's married to a PoC, bippity boppity boo, happily ever after. but there's always the chance that whatever england comes up with is not enough, and considering his rivalries at the time, who would always be looking for something to criticise him for, it might just not be.

• however arthur is a cunning man, and would resort to releasing any dirt he has on the people opposing his marriage to the public for everyone to see, this is pretty likely to shit down the western backlash, but he still has to deal with his colonies and his own government, the latter of which he can't completely sabotage. but at this point they might juet give in and tell him to keep his marriage completely private, that is if the colonies don't make too much noise about it.

• the british empire didn't treat many of it's colonies well, treating people from the rest of the world like second class citizens. so you can imagine the backlash from the personifications of his colonies when he decides to marry one of their citizens whilst treating the rest like vermin. this is where all of arthur's scheming could fail, his boss won't brush over the matter if it's affecting their presence overseas, this is where things can get dangerous for his darling. his boss might decide to simply kill his darling since they're just a human, or might force the divorce, for either of these outcomes, arthur would try to hide his darling somewhere safe until the matter has calmed down and he can keep them in his house discreetly and live out the rest of their life like that.

• it would be a dangerous time to be the object of england's affections, even if his darling consented to the marriage at first, if they start having second thoughts because of the backlash, england will be absolutely furious, he went through all this effort just to have them back out now?, absolutely unacceptable. honestly besides this last paragraph, he wouldn't even have to be a yandere for this whole situation to play out.

It’ll also perfectly be in Yandere Arthur’s nature to want to have his cake and eat it too. He probably consider him above normal rules due to egoism. As in”do as I say, not as I do.”

(tw: colonialism, racism)

well, considering the time period, he was above normal rules. england's definitely the type to critique, say france, like crazy for even saying someone of colour / non white (i never know what the respectful term to use for that is, if there's anyone of colour, or whatever you prefer to refer to yourself as, with a better term, send it too me so i can use it in future works!) is attractive, even if he agrees, during the 1800's he would have loved the feeling of superiority over his peers, and would exercise it in many ways.

i can also see his darling suffering a bit from his egoism, i think that pirate / colonial england would expect his darling, even a white one, just to a lesser extent, to be grateful to be noticed by and have the affections of someone as important as him, so problems would arise if they expected a completely equal relationship.

Unpopular opinion time because it’s the election and I am in a bitchy mood.

The Disney movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire is actually pretty problematic and it’s not some “diversity masterpiece,” people claim to be.

I recommend go watch the this video by Shayna Conda on YouTube, they explain it better than me about how the film is riddled with colonization, whyte feminism and just overall problematic shit.

While I loved it as a kid, I can quite understand why it’s problematic today.

It’s basically Yt people trying to write POC characters and failing miserably.
