noah kahan really said growing up in a small, bitter hometown is about the rage and the hatred that's been sung about many times before but it's also about love and devotion and the 'all three of us were drowning and we didn't know how to save each other but there was an understanding that we were all drowning together' of it all and knowing people so intimately yet not being able to help anyone and he's morally grey at best in a lot of his songs and objectively the bad guy in others and that's just how it is and it's about substance abuse and normalised crime and teen suicide and country roads and failed exams and leaving and being left and love and hate and love and hate and love and

Honestly I feel like Autobot Experiment!Blitzwing’s anger and betrayal once he finds out about Blackarachnia experimenting on Wasp would probably hit harder than if his canon self found out about it.

I personally headcanon that Blitzwing has severe trust issues and difficulty establishing interpersonal relationships thanks to his trauma so I imagine that finding out that someone he considered a kindred spirit and felt like he could allow himself to be vulnerable around severely disfigured and traumatized a literal child in a similar manner to what he himself experienced and didn’t even feel guilty about doing so is probably something that he wouldn’t take very lightly.

My girl Blackarachnia not only does one hypocritical thing but two, she's not getting away scot-free 😞 it doesn't have to be this way

Blitzwing may be the only 'one of a kind (beloathed)' now that Wasp has Blackarachnia to share being a techno-organic, but god damn it there's a kid in need of counseling and they have a varying quality of actual competence in that regard. Hothead is going to be very present for a while, heh-

Love that the boys are like "Better keep the lil lady out of it from now on" even though she's done literally all the heavy lifting on the emotional support and research side. And she immediately gets chowed down on by the vampire because she was home, when she would have been better off storming the mansion with them.

But no, she is An Lady which means she has a delicate constitution and never mind that she listened to the tapes of Lucy's death, downed a brandy and proceeded to write up the transcripts in between letting all the men cry all over her shoulder about it.

It's awful because Tuchel-era Bayern is just that. All games look and feel exactly the same. We're not particularly bad most of the time, we're just... not good. Bland. Tasteless.

This might be too dark even for what you're writing, but is the reason Rachel is alive but malnourished because the Yeerks were taking turns morphing large animals, cutting big chunks out of them, then eating the chunks as the unfortunate victim returns to human form?

Oh hello, plot point that I mentioned in an early draft of How I Live Now but dropped for being too dang gross!

Specifically, I think "chunk of flesh" would be "large mammal's liver." That'd be the most Vitamin C and Vitamin D for the least insta-fatal injury, even though the controller in question would have to morph back fast after the harvesting occurred. Bear livers are excellent sources of both vitamins — so much so that they can kill you with an excess of Vitamin D — and there are accounts of humans living for a few hours with no liver, so a bear could probably live liverless long enough to demorph. This isn't a great system, since one liver split ~30 ways isn't much to go around, and every single harvest risks someone on the crew dying, but I do headcanon it as being the stopgap measure the yeerks would've used.

I should also note that the research is a little unclear on how long humans can go without Vitamin C. Magellan's three-year voyage only had about a 70% death rate from scurvy, but historians don't know for sure that the 30% of survivors didn't stop on an island and have a nice glass of lemonade at some point. Hudson's crew had its earliest scurvy signs pop up as early as six months in, but those were also sailors with overall way poorer diets than contemporary Americans would have. (If nothing else, a single cup of Coca-Cola contains 100% of one's daily Vitamin C as a flavoring agent.) Anyway, the answer seems to be that scurvy occurs somewhere within a year of going off Vitamin C, and proves fatal somewhere in the second year of no Vitamin C, but that even small doses of the stuff result in near-total recovery.

So. My official behind-the-scenes explanation for how the Blade ship wasn't a floating tomb within a year is that some harvesting of bear livers went down, which — when combined with suburban Americans having insane produce access and gorgeous fat reserves — meant some teeth were coming loose but no one had keeled over by the time 19 months went by.
