If Shaper imposed a Leet-style restriction on Amy's power, they'd both be better off.

I feel like introducing Taylor into a hunger games environment would go really well

She'd flourish there, moisturised, in her lane.

so when superman flies up into the atmosphere to avoid being asphyxiated by things crawling into his lungs, its a good and effective strategy, but when I, alexandria

How does anyone take him seriously

I have a bad habit of calling things "loathsome" if they mildly inconvenience me, which usually isn't that bad, but today I spilled my drink and said "loathsome juice..." under my breath without realizing that's not a normal thing to say

everyone started laughing

post worm taylor working at an animal shelter using what she learned from helping rachel. send tweet

this made me imagine rachel and taylor going to an animal shelter together and rachel criticizing everything like gordon ramsay. even though that's not actually true because rachel is apparently on good terms with animal shelters according to worm (very cute). ok i just realized you meant post worm as in taylor after the end of worm and not as an imperative. That would be so cute....I don't want her to call the undersiders a bad crowd i want her to volunteer to help ouppies as a way of getting back in touch with a normal life whilst remembering rachel:(

on a simpler level it’s just kind of nightmarishly disgusting to me that we all reblog like 20 posts a day about the variety and depth of nonbinary identities and potential within questioning but everyone so obviously exclusively brings this acceptance to nonbinary people who were afab, to the point that a lot of people don’t even blink at the “oh yeah he has pronouns but it’s just performative so people think he’s progressive” shtick and just nod along unquestioningly. like this shit is soooo fucking common with so many people suffering from it it’s an absolutely maddening double standard that everyone just pretends doesn’t happen

What if you drew contessa

no one is called that. shh.

Woah...it's da smurf..

it's weird how there's a whole thing in worm about how there's no such thing as a "healing power" because there's no objective standard of physical health that the shards can refer to but also if you're mentally ill the cauldron vials are more likely to turn you into a Creature, right? like there's an objective standard of mental health that makes your powers less fucked up... am i being uncharitable or is that kind of hypocritical

Spinning Taylor and Alec thoughts for a second:

As funny as it is to joke that Taylor doesn't pay attention to Alec early in Worm for comic reasons, I think another big thing with Alec is that Taylor doesn't view Alec as a problem the way she does the rest of the team.

Rachel: physical, but not emotional, threat. Clearly a liability to strategy. Rachel is a big interpersonal issue in the team Taylor is compelled to solve because Taylor fixes group dynamics due to obsessive need to make everyone work together. Arguably her highest immediate priority in practice even if she would tell herself that it's actually Lisa.

Brian: emotional danger, member of the Undersiders Taylor thinks she most admires for being so cool and controlled and put together (this goes to show you that Taylor is not immune to crush-based optical illusions).

Lisa: emotional and strategic danger. Undersider most likely to figure Taylor's shit out in the sense of her totally amazing, not wildly ill-conceived undercover infiltration and in the (much scarier to Taylor) sense that Lisa might Perceive Taylor, which would be an unbearable vulnerability. (Too late!!)

Alec: is actually relatively...fine, in the Taylor lens of perception. Some of his comments have weirded her out and he's not her favorite, but she finds his ambient shithead insults easy to shrug off compared to her bullying because she can tell they aren't malicious, he seems content to go along with plans and not cause problems, and she thinks his power is limited in application (and I'm sure to a degree subconsciously thinks that as the swarm queen, what would it matter if Alec messed with her human limbs?) He is her lowest priority concern.

As a result, she is completely missing numerous warning signs about what Alec's actual deal is. The way he behaves doesn't match Taylor's early threat detection system criteria. The extent to which she misreads things that should be all but screaming at her Watch Out is very well executed - and because this is close first person, it's also a narrative sleight of hand for us, the readers. If you're watching Alec closely and know what certain things look like, as trauma sequelae, you'll be feeling the hair on the back of your neck stand up. If you're looking at what Taylor is looking at, assuming Taylor's judgments are solid, though? You'll get the jump scare.

Very effective horror movie haunted doll writing.
