Thank you for the lore for your AU and for clearing a few things up.
How serious are the laws against those Constructed Cold? I read from an earlier post that Megatron got beaten like in canon over having a book since miners "aren't allowed" to have that kind of literature. Did Whirl go overboard or was that a relatively normal response to finding contraband? Also did Morgan ever tried to get medical books to better help his miner friends?
It wasn’t so much having a book as it is what type of book that tends to get the lower classes into trouble! Also it’s actually a class issue, not a Cold Construct issue ouob.
Megatron is manual class, and manual class has a list of books they’re allowed to read—-usually fiction, self-help and historical books based on their line of work, or Quintesson war and world rebuilding stories that promote the current system——anyone found with one not on the list will be questioned to find out who sold it to them, or will be assumed to have stolen it.
Book stores in different parts of town will offer different books depending on what a person’s designated working class is/what the major working demographic is (a young Megatron approached young!OP because he had read every single book in the one downtown bookstore he’s allowed to go to, and he saw OP reading something he’d never seen before) ——by the time children reach middle school and are segregated based on working class, they’re encouraged to get an education firmly based on what their future line of work is and be heavily dissuaded from everything else. (Libraries are only found in affluent/higher class neighborhoods. OP establishing a community library in The Dead End was unheard of until then)
Whirl beating up Megatron had nothing to do with the contraband and everything to do with people in power, who have a hold over Whirl, using him to teach Megatron a lesson/silence the miner.
OP did actually give Megatron a comprehensive first aid book before he left for the police academy——the cover and first chapter were made to look like a guide to the history of coal mining in England—-because Megs told him that he wished he could learn medicine that he could help his community whenever one was too far away to do calls there (there were not many medics who treated manual classes and those who did usually wanted to ‘rise up’ ASAP. Free clinics were rare and often closer to towns which took time to travel to from the mines).
When Terminus got caught in a cave-in on Messatine and lost his legs, what Megatron learned from this book is what helped save Terminus’ life and helped Terminus recover under less than ideal conditions.
Basically Steve & the others found a plane crash containing the script for the next Fast & Furious movie. To make a long story short, apparently there's a ton of gay sex scenes that get cut before each movie's release. Except in France, they get the whole thing.

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people
Recently Overwatch released a new character, citing complaintsof a lack of ‘body diversity’. Now, Idon’t like the character but that’s for a variety of reasons and that’ll becoming at a later date. No, what really botheredme was this argument and the implications for a common trend in representation of women in video games.
To add some context, I’m a gay woman and I want to be a game dev. I’ve loved video games and been a gamer for close to 15 years. And I really feel there are pressing issues with the arguments for ‘representation of women in video games’. I’ve made similar rants about this general topic before and you can find my most successful one here.
If you’re concerned with women, body types, representation, etc, I suggest you give me a fair shake and read all the way to the end. More under the break.

Antis on tumblr are so cringey with their hatred of characters mixed with performative activism, it is all like:
"Lol you like this BLAND!! Pallle ass wHiiite character" and then they simply stan a different white character themselves.
Or the typical:
"I headcanon everyone in this show as lgbtq except this one character I hate, they are straight because I personally headcanon them as such and it totally gives me a suuper valid motive to hate them for some woke reason" or worse, they headcanon the characters they dislike as homophobic or racist with no canon evidence.
If they lack imagination, antis will just give the character they hate a different nickname based on a distortion of their real name, you know, like children in kindergarden.
I am not even against essays explaining why people hate (Or love) certain characters, I am all for the drama as long as there are actual arguments based on canon and not petty insults.
Well, I found your problem. You have minor water damage… Probably due to a leak somewhere. It might take a while to find it.

Can you share that interns tweet?
1. Sam Maggs claims credit for naming Rivet
2. Intern at the time (now programmer) calls her on her bullshit and brings up how much of a toxic element she was (in a polite tone).
3. Maggs has to backpedal about being the one who named Rivet and pivots to "I'm angry because it was a team effort" when, in reality, she was clout chasing.
4. What Maggs hasn't done is address is she's been lying and trying to steal credit from the person who actually came up with the name for at least a 5 months.
November 2021. She was called out on March 2022. She's a shitheel who is purely out for herself. And remember, she left the project (possibly fired because she's toxic) 1.5 years before the game was finished, with other writers taking over for her.
Which means that anything she said about Rivet as a character is null and void. Her claims about both named Rivet and that Rivet is actually gay are both attempts at grabbing attention.
Why, you ask? Because the game she just finished working on, Tiny Tina's Wonderland, was just released and nobody is talking about it. She's desperately trying to farm clout and look progressive to get invited to some other project because that's how she operates.
She jumps from project to project, acts like a toxic bitch, leaves halfway through and then tries to act like she was a bigger influence on the game than she actually was. She's a leech.
Nobody should hire her, period.
Edit: She was stealing credit for at least 5 months, not 16. I have no idea why I put 16 down.
