Megatron: Do you have any fantasies?
Orion Pax: Ok… so… the Library of Alexandria is under siege and I’m a librarian who’s good at fighting and I save the books
I came across this post, which reminded me of a small easter egg I’ve inserted in this last panel and it might have so subtle I never saw anyone commenting about it.
The printing didn’t help, it was a bit darker than the original, for that reason I’m posting the original panel.
In the book, [SPOILERS] Orion Pax is speaking on behalf of Megatron to the Senate [/SPOILERS], so why not making some sort of reference to that.
The lighting in the Senate room and Orion consequentely do look odd and perhaps a bit off on some of these panels but these lights did have a purpose: the panel above alone.
If you cover the lightned part of Orion’s face, you get this:
Does it look familiar? Here’s a hint.

(This is such a fantastic parallel and tumblr is refusing to load or even indicate the added images outside of op’s blog so I added a screenshot of the original post addition.)
As much as I love a strong and confident Optimus I absolutely ADORE when he’s just bullshitting his way through his primacy. Bonus points if he’s actually doing really well and looks really competent but has the self confidence of a crayon
just look at him…. he has no idea what the fuck hes doing
This is so relatable, I’m dying.
LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK

We as a species are each and every day becoming more creative in the ways with which we destroy eachothers lives.
my sense of humor: getting birthday cards with the wildly incorrect age on it for people
I see this and raise you: getting cards for a wildly different occasion and customizing them to fit the holiday you need
throwback to the time my partner put in his 2 week notice with a birthday card for a 2 year old
Medusa was kinda problematic :/
She objectified a lot of people
She got cursed because she was raped by Poseidon, and because she didn’t want to hurt anyone she moved to a remote cave to spend the rest of her life alone in, but men kept coming to bother her (rape) and she couldn’t control the outcome they received. Then, even though she had spent years making herself as little if a threat as possible, a hotshot demigod shows up and cuts off her head so that he can use it to defeat a monster and earn glory. Instead of you know, ASKING FOR HER HELP. He decided that the best option was to cut off her head, and then keep it to use as a weapon.
And you have the nerve to say Medusa objectified people? Nuh uh honey. All she wanted was to be left alone and men just wouldn’t listen.

I honestly can’t tell if they actually missed the pun or willfully ignored it…
Also, this is the version I like V
This was a fun post until the historical revisionism. So the Medusa rape story doesn’t seem to be Greek. The first record of that version of the story was recorded well after Alexander the Great. To Ancient Greece, there wasn’t a connection between Medusa and victims of rape, so there wouldn’t be any reason to connect her image specifically with women’s shelters. Btw, ANCIENT GREECE DIDNT HAVE WOMENS SHELTERS. This is a modern concept y’all. The second highlighted comment is just full of nonsense.
The first highlighted section is also full of it. Gorgons seemed to be popular as apotropic magic first, story second. Apotropic magic is a type of magic intended to harm or ward off evil spirits or beings. The Gorgoneion, depiction of Medusa/any other Gorgon’s head, was found all over Ancient Greece. Athena put Medusa’s head on her shield for the same reason that Vikings put wooden serpents on the front of their boats. The earliest records of the Gorgoneion seem to predate records of Medusa’s story.
It’s cool if you want to update her story for modern times (lord knows ancient people revised their own myths), but can you not try to update the historical context to match? Ancient Greece doesn’t need worldbuilding
I know exactly which characters it’s taking about and why and then same part of my brain is slightly concerned.
u ever talk to a business major and ur like “so what do you do?” and they fuckin say something like “i work in aggregate client centric business executive content data management logistics analytics development” like sir none of those words have definitions
