I wrote something of my own volition? What madness is this?

Title: Mountain
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: G
Word Count: 182
Characters: Broadside
Summary: No one notices what a mountain can do.



People are constantly surprised at just how big Broadside is. They know he's large- just looking at him is enough to note that -but the exact measurements tend to get lost most of the time. Even among the other Wreckers who have often seen him at his fullest, using his height, his girth, his extreme mass to overpower his enemies with fear and, should that not work, force. But outside of those times Broadside holds himself like a mountain: an easy stillness that causes the details of the space he occupies to fade into the background. There is no way to miss him, no way to not recognize his size but it's just peripheral static in the day-to-day and no one gives it much thought after a while.

He gets as much notice as a mountain because while large he's unaggressive. But when he feels the need to make his size- and thus himself -known, it catches people by surprise much like an avalanche on a still day and they realize too late how insignificantly small and helpless they are in comparison.

I really really like this a lot! How Broadside is so big but not aggressive so he doesn't get any more notice than any other large but always there part of the landscape... and then what happens when suddenly he stands up and puts the badass on! O.O
