It really does feel like the various PoV switches in Claw are Bow forcing himself to work on his pacing. Every chapter hits, and with the Arc-long PoVs, he seems to have a solid idea in mind of what he wants each character to be doing for an arc.

On top of that, the character work continues to be excellent, and the particular double life balance makes for some incredible juxtapositions, as the story explores parenting in, ah, all its forms.

Now let's see where Valentina takes us.

One interesting thing about a tight third person limited pov that you can't do in other formats is using the names that the narration uses to refer the pov characters to convey information about the characters mental states. GRRM uses this a lot in the later ASOIAF books.

Wildbow does it as well. Reading Tattletale's interlude in Ward, I remember being struck by the fact that she doesn't identify as Lisa anymore. Which, why should she? The main person in her life who knew her as Lisa, is gone.

Anyway, it's interesting that Gio still thinks of herself as Gio, and not Valentina.

Dear Mr. Wildbow,

Thank you for informing us that these girls might not be gay. Without this caveat, I would've forgotten that while a guy and girl together can be assumed to be a couple, two girls "hanging off one another" are probably just good friends. Gal pals. Maybe even roommates, but certainly not lesbians. Thank you for helping us all avoid this blunder.

With the announcement of Claw, we're proud to introduce...

I think Wildbow should name his seventh serial one of those twee overlong self-aware hyperspecific titles in the vein of The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared or The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time, and then for the eighth serial immediately go back to doing the unsearchable four-letter word thing

This picture remind me of Claw when Graves betray her Masters

Claw : no one messing with my beloved Masters *glare menacingly at Graves*😾

But the more she glare at him the more his smirk widen

Graves 🪦: you know you're so adorable when you mad

Soap 🧼: Hate to admit but he's right

Alejandro 🤠: *curses in spanish* where is my camera when I need them?!

Ghost 💀 : *secretly snapping a picture of a angy Claw, got an album of Claw picture in a human and cat form*

Made this selenite dagger / athame. Selenite is a great protective stone for (among other things) energetic cord cutting

I think it turned out really good! 😊

I'm glad Claw is getting the moral debates out of the way early. Remember kids at home: Mia is someone to admire & attempt to emulate in your day to day life
