I think wildbow should’ve stayed on track with Switch Hitter and kept introducing more lgbt characters named after increasingly controversial gay slang terms

i think important thing to note in worm is that Cauldrons plan fully succeeded. It wasn’t a very defined plan, but i think it’s worth mentioning that Scion was eventually stopped by Taylor (1) , who lived in the USA on earth Bet (2), who was a supervillain (3) for the first few months of her career, joined the Protectorate(4), was modified by Panacea (5) and managed to become incredibly powerful through her synergy with Clairvoyant and Doormaker (6), and defeated Scion using an army of every cape in existence (7).

(1) A character who was raised in a society indoctrinated with heroic values by cauldron)

(2) A society that only exists because of constant active intervention by cauldron

(3) A stable position in society that only exists because it was artificially created by cauldron for non conforming capes

(4) An organisation founded and maintained by cauldron

(5) An inhabitant of the birdcage, which was created by cauldron to store powerful parahumans in case their abilities could be used for situations like this

(6) Two very powerful capes specifically created by cauldrons human experimentation

(7) Several thousand of which only exist because of Cauldron directly

Like, there’s often a perception especially with new readers that Cauldron were incompetent and committed a bunch of human rights violations for no reason, until Taylor had to step in and use her mega cool powers to show them how it’s really done. But that’s just not accurate, because it’s not accounting for how much of the setting is directly tied to Cauldron. Without Cauldron, Taylor grows up in a post apocalyptic world, where capes have no expectations of using their powers to help others, and live even shorter and more brutal lives than in canon. Cauldrons plan was to maximise their odds of a bullshit power interaction being able to defeat Scion, and it worked! Everyone say thank you doctor mother right now

my new beetle arrived after an entire month of waiting. Ordered the little guy during early march. Cost me nearly 1k to get my hands on a species this rare! theyre not super well suited to Brockton bay's climate so i had to spend another 500 on equipment like heaters and stuff. But it was so worth it!!! God i love being a bug collector in 2011

if worm was written by a fujoshi instead we could have at least 3 interludes dedicated to uber and leet going at it sloppy style. but alas...

But I’d sort of explored enough to discover that last night. It hadn’t been a perfect night, not even excellent, but it had been nice. Considering all of the other humiliating or awkward possibilities, I was happy to take nice.

I love this description of first-time 16-year-old sex it’s so evocative with so few words.

Lily's catchphrase phase, before Sabah told her to stick with the taciturn bodyguard thing

I don’t blame Doormaker’s shard for running out of juice imagine being told “Ok so can you make like a million portals and keep remaking them so it looks like they’re moving and like make them rotate with me so they don’t block my vision (yes ik i have clairvoyant but it looks cool bear with me) also make them all hexagons pretty please :)” I’d bluescreen right then and there

this whole time... i thought it was me but it was actually the ghost of my insufficiently potentiated sibling making me slouch

Thinking about him again (the Teneral e.5 Eidolon ugly baby clone)

I always kind of wonder how Mannequin feels when he looks at the moon.

Made in Blender 3D - first time trying Cycles, actually! Like the lighting, hate the render times.

I know this is a really reductive question, but for lack of better phrasing, is Worm.... good? Is it worth reading? People go back and forth between praising it and making it seem like it's the worst case scenario of Adult Man Writing As Teen Girl. Is it a case where the setting/world has potential and the story itself is badly executed? People just seem really invested in it while also making it sound really really bad

don't get it twisted: wildbows other work is of variable quality, but worm? worm is fucking incredible

its really really great that that one particular fandom has decided to characterize that one lesbian character as fundamentally perverted and evil. Like its really fantastic reading comprehension to take a character who was forcibly adopted into a WASP family and treated like shit and then say "yep she's actually evil due to her nature👍!" It's really great news for her abusive family that a decade of raising her like she was born tainted and an outsider to their family had no effect on her actions because she was just like that from the start. Oops! Shouldn't have been born to a badguy, then maybe she wouldn't have developed an incredibly rigid black and white moral code that sent her into a spiral of self-hatred! I think its really wise of the fandom to focus on how she's a sex criminal by (lesbian) nature instead of how her environment pushed her to her breaking point over the course of a decade!

Best genre of image to me is Character with Also The Character But This Time It's Their Older Self/Alter Ego/Persona Developed To Protect Themselves together in one image

And I feel like we as the Parahumans fandom need to Lock In and start drawing the worm characters with their cape self together like this

[leet-died-in-argentina]

is this what most wormfic is like… my only exposure to wormfic was this batman one i read one time so is all wormfic this ooc

staggering quantities of worm fanfiction read like an intentional parody of the idea of out of character worm fanfiction

[leet-died-in-argentina]

i think chum is reaching the point where it's almost as long as worm? that's kind of scary... we're not even halfway through yet... waugh
