oh nice finally time to get the payoff for the stuff set up in gregor's interlude

[rox-reads]

welp, here's our Complication

[rox-reads]

also considering that talk with lisa earlier i feel like this whole exchange is happening for the purpose of reigniting taylor's trauma and give her a boost for the upcoming Complication

[rox-reads]

ok well maybe when someone saves you from a future in which you're potentially assaulted you don't thank them by randomly digging up their trauma and phrasing it in the most damaging way. just maybe.

taylor just wanted someone to recognize her efforts and the monkey's paw curled

[rox-reads]

ok sorry this is funny. taylor was so mystified earlier when sierra was intimidated by her and now she's acting like this is the response she should've gotten all along. as if in the first case she wasn't in full on villain gear, making threats, beating up people, deliberately trying to look bigger and scarier, and in this second case she doesn't just look like a random girl who wanted to help.

of course it'll be easier for people to thank you when there's no collateral damage than when you're trying to come across as dangerous on purpose

lisa on her magician arc

gay rights!!

[rox-reads]

omg this sounds fun, you guys lucked out 🤩

[rox-reads]

yeah this was fairly obvious, but i'm a bit surprised that this seems like it's only lisa's theory and not something widely accepted/researched?

[rox-reads]

bit of a weird thing to say about a guy you met minutes ago

[rox-reads]

i just know this is the start of jaw and brooks's fake dating slow burn love story

[rox-reads]

the girlies are going out to partayyy tonight whoooooo

[rox-reads]

taylor didn't like god's take on fireflies and made her own

[rox-reads]

oh my god we're really speedrunning beauty and the beast here

[rox-reads]

i can't help but look at this whole exchange through the lens of a taylor x reader self insert fic.

POV you're a downtrodden girl who needs help finding her brother, however the authorities don't have the time or resources to help you right now and the only person willing to hear you out is the scary bug girl who just beat a guy up in front of a crowd to prove a point. next thing you know she's inviting you over to her place and making you tea and.... 😳

[rox-reads]

GIRL you just threatened people by telling them your bugs can fucking obliterate a cow in like a minute. what image do you think she has of you?? what image do YOU have of yourself 😭

[rox-reads]

did you forget you're playing the intimidating villain role right now lmao
