Worm Arc 16 first part thoughts (through defeating Dragon and Defiant interlude) cause it seemed likely there is going to be something major happening in the rest of the arc and I might as well split it here:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

MY BABIES ARE FIGHTING!!!!!

I might not have made the best choice in adopting both Taylor and Dragon

Ok so it's not technically my babies fighting. It's Taylor fighting simple AI Dragon created. But close enough.

Drone robot fucked up a perfectly good barbecue. That's just criminal.

I love that the robot sent after Bitch was basically designed to get fucked up over and over. Work with what you have.

Also Bitch was so willing to listen to Skitter! Not just listen but "come up with a plan like you usually do, we’ll make it happen"! She fucking trusts her so much! GAAAAAAAYYYY!

You put Skitter in charge and she is just instantly "Ok we're going to attack the Wards, the Protectorate, the PRT, and some of Dragon's robots. All at the same time. Cause I always gotta go BIGGER!"

I will give her this though - solo teleporting into the middle of the Protectorate and Wards (except for Clockblocker) and having Trickster swap her around while she just FUCKED SHIT UP? That was badass.

And throwing herself out the fucking window? TWICE? I'm very glad Trickster was on point there cause I would have fucking murdered him if he dropped my daughter.

Piggot trying to be all high and mighty and superior. Fuck off lady. You just a cop. You're like, the worst cop. I already called you out for having a full blown villain internal monologue in your first interlude. Some of the PRT might be trying to do right. Maybe. But you are just evil.

I will give Piggot one thing. She is good at what she does. It's just that what she does is not "leading the Brockton Bay PRT and Wards to better take care of the people of the city", but instead "be a terrible and manipulative person who would absolutely set of a nuke if she thought it would kill enough capes".

Also Trickster don't be an asshole. Being disgusted when Piggot admits she's fat and doesn't sound ashamed about it. Fuck off with that. She's a terrible person, there are so many better things to attack than her appearance.

Like the fact that she upset Tattletale! She made Tattletale sad! FUCK PIGGOT I HATE HER FOR THAT ALONE NOW!

Sticking a bunch of glass in some doors and riding around town on them oh my god. These are like, the scariest super villains in town. And they are door surfing. I love it.

Azazel is fucking fancy! I'm sad it got melted down in the end.

Dragon just needed a guy badly cosplaying as a DS9 starship for a few minutes and then she builds infinitely better shit than he ever could. Cause she is awesome.

Ok so I know it was technically being run by an AI that Dragon built but I'm counting it as Dragon. For one reason.

Skitter asking Azazel stupid questions until it broke was just a little sister annoying their older sister with really stupid questions! She starts off with some somewhat reasonable ones and just gets wild with it. It was perfect. That is the type of fighting I can tolerate from my daughters.

I'm a little worried about Imp clearly crushing on Regent. He hasn't had the best moral character in the past.

Wasn't expecting them to just *have* the city after beating Dragon. Definitely wasn't expecting that to happen mid arc.

“She’s out of it. Tattletale broke Skitter when she said we won” - GAY. Look sure there's lots of reasons Skitter would be distracted after hearing that the city was theirs and they had won. But Tattletale said it and there's something about a girl you like telling you "we won" that can just stop brain from working. Besides I wasn't getting enough Chatterbug content this arc so I'll find it wherever I need it.

So coming into this arc I had been making lots of jokes about Monarch referencing Skitter vs Dragon (both were controlling lots of minions, want to control the city, they're siblings cause I adopted both of them so they fight for the crown, etc) but Dragon is out of the city for now. So I really should have been focusing on Coil vs Skitter. Which is what I expect the rest of the arc to be.

It'll be fine.

I'm sure there won't be any issues at city hall with her dad. Nope.

PRT squad interlude (Piggot interlude round 2) thoughts:

Nilbog is terrifying but god his power is wild.

I had Left 4 Dead in my head the entire time. First thing they killed was a boomer. There was a spitter later as well. And they got the swarm once they shot the flare up for the evac.

PRT is endlessly badly managed. Given the unknowns they could have been more careful and used a better strategy. If they have the resources to wall off the town they have the resources to have done things better.

There is no way Thomas Calvert isn't Coil (more specifically becomes Coil). There is NO way. It has to be him. I don't technically have any proof but I know. It's him. (The way he is described, the way he talks, just everything about him. I could write up an entire post just on why I'm 100% positive he is Coil.)

I already knew Piggot was a horrible person to be running the Brockton Bay PRT and the Wards so this interlude didn't really give new information there. But it does just lock that down on an extra level.

Frank Miller's Armsmaster interlude thoughts:

I'm very sad I had to have this interlude from his perspective instead of Dragon's perspective. But I'll live.

Sucks to be this small town.

PRT failure again. It was made clear that the police of this town in no way expected the SH9. But the PRT knew when SH9 left BB and had a loose idea of their potential travel speed. And they knew SH9's M.O. in this situation of staying to back roads and hitting small towns. So every police department in every small town within a certain distance of BB should have known to be on alert. Like ya they aren't going to be able to stop the Nine, but they might be able to reduce losses a little. PRT is just bad at it's job. (Almost like Alexandria doesn't have the right priorities.)

I KNEW DRAGON WAS A TRUE TINKER! I HAD ALREADY MADE IT MY HEADCANON THAT SHE TRIGGERED WHEN LEVIATHAN ATTACKED NEWFOUNDLAND AND I'M SO HAPPY IT'S REAL!

Plugging my ears when I Was Insecure So I Made My Stick Even Longer Man talks about playing "ten by ten" with my robot daughter. Look she can do what she wants, no shame, but I do not want to hear about it from him if I can avoid it.

Of course Dragon knows about Cauldron. I should have expected that she did. My daughter is brilliant (and also maybe doesn't have a concept of privacy so gets all the information she can without explicitly doing something illegal and goes has a little bit of a "Big Sister is watching you" vibe).

Slugbug.

If you're unaware, punchbuggy is a game when you're driving that if you see a Voltswagen Beetle, you yell punchbuggy (and, in my family's version "no punch back" and the color of the car) and punch the nearest person in the arm

This gives me an excuse to post my Slugbug (Paul Miller) Costume i made in LBP because i thought it'd be funny

[cpyclopse]

I am thinking about starting MLP commissions...

Just gotta find out the logistics of it. What payment methods do you think work best? Many use paypal or kofi ive noticed

[theneighborhoodcryptid]

sbi roadtrip au where phil wants to stop at all the random roadside attractions (worlds biggest ball of yarn, etc), techno thinks of it as his own personal hell (being stuck in a cramped, loud, hot car for hours at a time), wilbur just really wants control over the music even though nobody likes the weird alt-indie-experimental rock he claims to enjoy (he doesn’t enjoy it, it just makes him seem cool), and tommy has made it his personal mission to annoy his family as much as physically possible (he accomplishes this in a manner of ways including but not limited to putting cheeto-dust fingerprints all over techno’s reading material, punching wilbur and calling out slugbug for every single car they pass, not only the volkswagons, and purposefully misdirecting phil).

[slugbuggy]

felt like posting this here too since I look cute and haven’t posted an updated pic of me in a while so hiiii

[miniaturesuitgladiator]

Slugbug! No slugbug back!

Notes: this is just a drabble for my series that I'm still making. I just wanted a little story behind readers car. So this doesn't include any of the batfam sorry....

Warning: None ( readers dad might sound a little yander but he's not. He's just a girl dad.🤷‍♀️)

-💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗-

If someone asked about you to anyone in your small town the first thing they would know is your a daddy's girl. Not in a ' you get everything you want' spoiled girl way. No, you were a daddy's girl because more often then not you were spotted by your father. For example: if your father would be fixing a car you'd be the one holding the flash light ,or if you had a bad day at school everyone knew the first person you would tell was your father.

And sure maybe he did spoil you a little ,but thats only because you're a good kid(you can do no wrong in his eyes). And maybe you were his favorite kid but just by a little ( everyone knows your his favorite child by ALOT).

So yeah maybe he does spend some money on you but you're his baby you deserve it. So it was a surprise to absolutely no one when he got you a car for your sixteenth birthday.

So a couple of months before your birthday your father started looking for your first car. Now you were his baby but he always made sure not to go over board with spoiling you. After all he wanted you to grow up right ( and because your mother wouldn't let him buy you a brand new car.)

so your father went to a car lot that sold used cars ,but nothing really caught his eye. So he went somewhere he knew he could just about anything. The junk yard.....

Now Your father wasn't gonna let you drive around in some peace of junk if that's what your thinking. No, he knew that somewhere in this trashy place there was some gold pieces that were just waiting to be discovered.

So after about 2 hours of looking he found the perfect car! It was in great condition the only downside was that the motor was garbage. So he did what he had to do he bought the car and with the few months he had left he used all his spare time to rebuild the motor.

After the motor was rebuilt and the car was up and driving he still wasn't satisfied. So he had the car costume painted. After that he still wasn't satisfied so he bought new tires and rims too... he wanted to customize it a little more but he didn't have time(and cause your mother wouldn't let him..).

Anyway so after your big party and dinner with all your family and friends..you got your big surprise!

So in the middle of your drive way with a big pink bow on top stood your (practically) new car!

It was a Volkswagen Beetle in your favorite color! With new wheels and rims! It had like 5 miles on it ... and a brand new interior that your dad did! ( that your mother was not very happy with ... since it probably would have been cheaper just to buy you a new car.).

Everyone smiled when the seen the car because it was just so you! See you played this game that your dad taught you ever since you could remember. You don't recall the name but it's a simple game. Every time you see a Volkswagen Beetle you yell "slugbug! No slugbug back!" And you win there's no points... it's really just dumb but you play it with everyone... And you learned it from your dad...

So it's no wonder why when you seen your car your eyes welled up with tears.. sure this might not have been your dream car no... but this was special and everyone knew that...

So without a second thought in front of everyone you run up to your dad and give him a big and tight hug....just like you used too when he would come back from work... and he hugged you back just like he used to even he was tired from work....

Because this car meant something .... not only did it mean that you could take yourself wherever you wanted... it meant you were growing up ,and wouldn't be his little princess for much longer.........

[khaire-traveler]

do you have any unusual devotional activities? One of my favourites is doing nature photography and logging it on iNaturalist (an app/community that collects nature info used for science and conservation) for Lady Artemis!

Khaire!

My whole life is an unusual devotional activity. Jokes aside, though, I think one of my favorites is while I'm on the road, if I spot a Volkswagen Beetle, I'll "slugbug" Lord Hermes. I usually just state somewhere like, "Lord Hermes, wherever you may be, [insert color of car here] slugbug, no slug backs." It brightens my day whenever it happens, and it's not something I've ever heard of others doing.

Also, that iNaturalist thing sounds like a fantastic idea! Not only is that helpful to actual researchers, but it makes for such a great offering to Lady Artemis!

Thank you for asking this question; it was really fun to talk about! I wish the best for you in your journey ahead. c:
