next transformers continuity i want the autobots to accidentally out themselves to earth when they realize the probe they just shook the dust off of has cameras and one day NASA wakes up to find that opportunity rover's back online and the first thing it recorded was a giant robot saying "well, fuck"

I want this to be Ironhide. But alternatively

Optimus

Gentle Dad Bot just wanted to wipe off that poor abandoned rover. The first thing humanity sees of Optimus is this bigass robot lightly patting Opportunity and saying "There you go, all clean. Oh, it started working? Ratchet look, he's alive! :D"

Optimus becomes a meme long before he ever reaches earth.

The leaked video becomes widely known as Metal Jesus welcomes Oppy to robot heaven or something similar.

If there is a Decepticon attack and Oppy is damaged, Megatron will be globally known as Metal Satan, and the millennials and gen Z's will be mobilized against him before he ever sets foot on the planet.

ALTERNATELY

The Autobots bring Oppy onto their ship to help take care of him. He's a curious little guy! Always rolling around and picking up random objects to examine.

He quickly captures everyone's sparks.

Meanwhile the techs back at NASA are freaking out because they get to virtually explore an alien spaceship and EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!

"Metal Jesus" - there has never been a better description of Optimus ever

The little rover is so fragile, to a being who is used to the cold void of space, to the hostile radiations and dust clouds and ice storms between worlds.

What’s curious about this little machine is that it’s *built*. A civilization prodding gently at the secrets of their own solar system.

Optimus is *charmed and delighted* by the little thing, sending all it’s data back. Curious and gentle and it’s not really a *pet* so much as a companion. He speaks to it in its language all the time, as if it *is* a pet yes, but also.

Optimus Prime is a politician and a master of diplomacy. He’s absolutely gleefully monitoring all the internet data traffic that he can get his servos on, about this little robot and the joy of the people who built it.

This is his chance to be soft, and gentle with a fledgling species. To learn about them and their great history, no more than a single blink of Primus’ eye.

The Autobots tend to think that Optimus is kind of strange sometimes, but they do indulge him because more often than not, he’s *correct* in his strange actions.

And when they do make contact with Earth. It’s via that little robot and its friends, the ones they’ve plucked out of the dirt and ice, to be gently restored to functionality, their power sources rebuilt and their instruments retuned and their data transmission clearer than ever.

And they sing the little robot happy birthday, because it’s tradition and because this little ambassador deserves to be honored. Hello, Earth, Optimus says, his voice deep and gentle as he kneels before the little thing. “We’re the Autobots, and it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

(It’s not gentle, there’s plenty of bullshit in politics, but Optimus understands the politics and the people and how the two are not the same. The politicians are offered cool professionalism. The public is offered their honesty and personality and joy.)

Nasa, collectively, loses its shit.

And Opportunity sings itself Happy Birthday to a deep chorus of voices raised in the same kind of giddy exploratory love as the people who built the little drone.

(Someday, Opportunity and Curiosity will wobble their shaky way to their feet, beeping and squeaking and figuring out their voices, to say “I love you” to the people who have loved them first.)

Optimus uses The Matrix on Oppy so Robot Jesus becomes even more of an apt nickname....

Ironhide gives them guns when they start asking him about this.

As someone from southern Wisconsin who lives in Ohio and has to make the drive past Gary frequently I wholeheartedly endorse the “avoid Gary” sentiment.

missouri is as exciting as the color beige i know i live there nothing but trees and methheads were i live i live in the middle of nowhere pls help even the cities are boring

caitas-cooing asked:

"is it bad that I'll just yell plant to my brother when I'm bored" no, that's amazing. In my house we quote Lilo and stitch at each other all the time. Family bonding

movie quotes and vines is how me and my brother communicate. sometimes he’ll respond with the “IS THAT A WEED??!” vine.

but sometimes you just gotta yell “GIVE ME THE PLANT” when someone is holding a veggie.

siblings being siblings sibling bonding our parents hate it lmao they should be glad i haven't yet embraced my true form as the violent umbrella wall e

Western history loves to brag about their geniuses, philosophers, thinkers, and innovators throughout history but as far as I know, nobody talks about geniuses in non western history. Why can’t an Aztec community have their neighborhood Einstein who loved to study engineering and physics and helped build an efficient-running town?

Reblog is you're uncomfortable with how eurocentric our understanding of history is.
