Shoutout to the maned wolf, which is technically neither wolf nor fox but has its own genus called Chrysocyon! Why -

why are your legs so long?

I mean, intellectually, I understand that it’s because you live in grasslands and have evolved to be able to see over the grass, but emotionally… why? Are they?? Like that??? Surely there was a way to make your body more cohesive and proportional-looking?

who keeps giving her these things

she's had a long day

Sorry if I'm like, reciting something I forgot I heard on We've Got Worm or read in a post or something, but one thing that makes the cafeteria scene in Worm so great and warms my heart like nothing else is what it really means when the other kids stand up to side with Taylor.

Because Taylor's defining trauma was being shoved in a rotten, disgusting locker and yelling and banging for help and, crucially, knowing that there were tons of people around, and none of them cared enough to try and help her. She got a Master power from being a social outcast.

But after her career as a villain, with every heroic act, she started setting an example. That's what changes things. She flips out on Charlotte- despite the poor girl only just having been saved from human trafficking- for being a bystander back at school and not trying to help. And she did it right after making the choice to save Charlotte rather than being a bystander herself. And after that, after risking her life fighting mannequin, Charlotte decides to take in the neighborhood kids orphaned by Leviathan and the Slaughterhouse Nine.

Who do you think taught her that? What changed from when Charlotte stood by and let some random classmate get bullied so bad she got sent to the hospital psyche ward? Who taught her to expect better from herself?

And Charlotte is the first to stand up when Taylor tells people to stand with her.

The biggest contrast between Taylor visiting Arcadia and back when she was in Winslow isn't that the Undersiders are in power and corrupt the system to their own ends, it's that, despite their evils, they fought their way through a harsh point in the city's history and helped others along the way.

So Taylor, after once calling out for help and being ignored by people who were indifferent or felt powerless, calls out for help again and the people around her risked their own safety for her because of the example she set.

To be clear, riley would do better bottom surgery

Heartwarming: Mr Beast has surgically altered 1000 people to look just like members of the Slaughterhouse Nine! Any of them that survive 100 days without being lynched get $1,000,000!

Lily got to Brockton on June 2, and — assuming she was being exact when she said she had two weeks left as of June 17 — went back to New York on July 1.

Now, one might assume, given the timing and the tragic death of genderfluid icon Browbeat, that Piggot needed to hit a certain quota of queer capes during Pride month. But in Ward, Lily says she had other places she could've gone besides Brockton, which means it might've been that the NY PRT wanted to pawn her off to another city for a month.

Which brings us to the important question: what did Lily do to get herself not only banned from NY Pride, but banned from the entire city of New York for the duration of Pride month?
