Man this one hits like a truck. I've never had the best role models in life, so naturally, Optimus Prime was the next best thing. Peter Cullen brought so much life and heart into a fictional character that inspired me to be a better man, and to continue to be. I've grown up with Transformers my whole life so Peter was like family to me. I think that's why it hits the most. I will never forget Optimus Prime and will always remember his many words of wisdom.

R.I.P. Peter Cullen AKA Optimus Prime.
Till all are one. ❤️💙

"Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go. Nah, Imma do my own thing."

It's crazy to think how it was just yesterday I was outside taking toy photos for the first time with my mom's phone. That was five years ago. It actually goes farther back then that, probably to when I was about 6. I used to run around the house taking pictures of everything with my little Fisher Price camera. That also included toys. I think my toy photography journey started way before I even realized. Now, in just a few weeks I'll be graduating with my bachelor's degree in photography. I'm not sure where I'll go after that, I'll just have to see what God has in store for me. One thing I do know is that it'll be MY story. Not someone else's or what everyone else has. Mine. Don't worry, this isn't the end of toy photography for me. It could just be the small beginning to a much bigger journey.

I'd like to see Bumblebee in a leader position, (that's not RiD). #transformers #blokees #blokeestransformers #toyphotography #bumblebee by @_branduck

Big shoes to fill.

While I don't fancy the idea of Optimus Prime being replaced, I think it is the question everyone is asking now that Peter Cullen has passed; who's going to be the next Optimus Prime? My answer to that: no one, no one can live up to Peter's Prime. Peter set the bar so high that no one can come close to surpassing. But that still brings another question; who's going to lead the Autobots? Personally, I think it should be Bumblebee, he's always been just as good as Optimus and his right hand man. He's already a fan favorite, the door is right there. Just make him talk and a fitting upgrade. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I want to see Optimus get fazed out in media, I just think that if the choice is to recast Optimus, they've got some pretty big shoes to fill. That's why I think a new leader is the best direction. Whichever direction they take, the new voice actor or new in universe leader has really big shoes to fill. It hasn't been long at all so it's too soon to make a decision, and like I said, I don't want to see Optimus get replaced. I do think though that these questions will inevitably need to be answered at some point.

I'm going to try to work better at telling stories in my photos instead of taking it because it looks cool. Hopefully I can stick with it for a bit and not just say I'm gonna. Let me know what you think of this photo! Who do you think should be the next Prime? Recast or new leader?

Till all are one. ♥️💙

"Oh yeah, Lightning's ready."

Hands down one of the best openings for a movie. I can't believe Cars turns 20 this year. I remember seeing it in theaters with my family. It's one of my earliest memories of coming to consciousness and my favorite. Cars will always be one of my favorite movies and it always will hold a special place in my heart. It jump started my love for movies and cars.

This is an old photo from 2023 that I never posted. It's inspired by a video game called Empire of the Ants. It's an strategy based game where you play as an ant and go through a pretty interesting story while also controlling an army of ants and various bug species in battles. It's a really beautiful game running on Unreal Engine. I am not a fan of those army defense type games, but this one is a blast to play. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Yotsuba Nakano. Hands down the best quintuplet...besides Miku.

Reposting this cause the algorithm hates me.
