Okay time to post this girl, even if it’s just the initial messy planning sketch.

Fun fact, I actually came up with Malin before I shipped Megatron/Minimus… Megatron/Magnus… whatever they’re the same people. I was completely neutral on the ship, and then after a prompt for a pairing-based kid appeared in my inbox and one green bean later, I found myself warming up to it. And now here I am.

Malin is a stoic lil pistachio. Her sense of humor is almost not there, and what is there is so subtle that it can take a little bit for others to realize she made a joke. It might have to do with how she doesn’t smile or laugh or do anything that would indicate she’s finding what she just said funny. She’s unflinchingly deadpan and isn’t really outwardly intimidated by anything – not hard to understand when you see who her parents are. 

And yes the bean was already posted over here with my other Lost Light baby beans!

Bonus doodles of Minimus/Magnus’ equivalent to a parent getting excited about being smiled at by their baby for the first time:
