#kevin and kwarrel are mentioned but this is less about them and more their narrative roles

[whatudottu]

Honestly I’ve always enjoyed the idea of Blitzwing serving as the Kwarrel to Wasp’s Kevin, given how the former would probably sympathize heavily with the latter and try to teach him how to use his current condition to his advantage, but given how Blitzwing’s been shown to not exactly be the best at handling his trauma or dealing with his emotions, I’m not sure if he’d actually be of any real help or just end up unintentionally making things worse.

Ya know, Blitzwing as Wasp's Kwarrel is just such a really cool idea, where are you getting your big brained takes anon haha! We have no idea how Kwarrel knew how to calm an amalgam mutant/osmosian depending on your preference, but we know (this version) of Blitzwing by the time Wasp goes through his Kevin arc fairly well and yeah - good or bad - I also like to think about now 'not-sparked-a-triple-changer' Blitzwing and 'suddenly-fleshy' Waspinator seeing optic to optic and also one-sided 'not the baby!' emotions.

Because my Blitzwing thoughts have been circling around placing his status of triple changer as the result of Autobot experiments rather than the actions of Blackarachnia, I can't help but compare the difference between the canon Blitzwing and this AU one. Maybe canon Blitzwing already has a confirmation bias that Blackarachnia is a hypocrite and has not qualms about modifying other's frames drastically in spite of her own dysphoria, but because canon is canon, they might actually do as you said and make things worse because well- they didn't exactly have an outlet that wasn't the war, and that was forever ago. I suppose on the opposite end AU Blitzwing would probably be better at coaching Wasp through the very drastic frame change, but this time probably has a lot of confusion, betrayal and anger towards Blackarachnia, who having the burden of the TC experiment off her shoulders probably would have bonded over being ones of a kind in vastly different disconnect ways.

God you might get me to kick TFP off it's pedestal in my head, because damn I am rotating these thoughts immensely!
