Wildbow said Taylor is straight.

That's obviously because he's a Straight trans man. Use your critical analysis smh

Gregor the Snail is such an odd cape name. Honestly it's kind of funny on the surface, because like, fuck he sure is. But I think it's one of my favorite names in the series after I looked into it. All of the other case 53s (except sveta) only have cape names to speak of, in large part because they have no memories and were likely assigned these names by the PRT because they all have powers. None of them get to choose their names or even choose to be capes, they have no choice from the moment they begin to exist as C53s. The exception is Sveta, who chose her name because she wants nothing to do with her cape persona of Garotte with an unwilling triple digit body count. Gregor though, he took whatever C53 cape name he was saddled with and he made it his own. He's not just "The Snail", he's Gregor. He had no name and he chose one for himself and forces everyone who fights him to remember that he's not just a crusty slime man, he's a person, he has thoughts and feelings and a name. His interlude gets into how he can't fully separate his cape and civilian lives because he's so strikingly abnormal, and this lack of divide is why he only has one name that has aspects of both parts of his life. Gregor The Snail is a kinda funny name, but it's also a mans attempt to establish an identity for himself and be seen as a person when the world seems to be against both those things.

Worm Arc 17 thoughts:

Travelers backstory!!!!!!!!! WOOOO!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT THEY ARE FROM EARTH ALEPH! That really explains the mysterious nature of their backstory up to now.

Would have loved to get some PoV's from some people who aren't Trickster but I'll live.

He's just such an asshole! Like I already knew he was but god DAMN did this arc remove any doubt.

Just the worst type of asshole that can be found in MOBA games (I say this as someone who played MOBA games for years). And then given superpowers. Ugh.

THE SIMURGH FUCKING HELL OH MY GOD I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!

SHE IS MY FAVORITE ENDBRINGER AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS EVEN IF SHE IS SUPER DUPER EVIL AND TERRIBLE! BUT SHE JUST SINGS IN EVERYONE'S HEADS AND THEY SEE THINGS THAT SHE WANTS THEM TO SEE AND SHE SEES THE FUTURE AND CREATES A CAUSE AND EFFECT PLAGUE BASICALLY AND I LOVE HER!!

Just the level of planning ahead she does, the number of moves ahead Simmy is playing. After the first few times she shows up they start quarantining where she attacks. Which ends up being exactly the right situation needed to push the Travelers to the choices she wanted them to make. Like, is quarantining even a counter to the Smurph or is it exactly what she wanted?

Sure precogs mess with precogs. That makes sense. But I don't know that it is as clear cut as Coil presented to Trickster. He implies two precogs just cancel each other out, but I assume it's more of a strength thing - a strong precog will cancel out a weak precog, but a weak precog will only make things a little fuzzier for a strong precog. So having Dinah would have helped against the Simurgh but I don't think it would be enough to just cancel out the Simurgh's power. Coil and Tattletale would probably also help. But I'm not convinced the last few months in Brockton Bay hasn't been more or less what Simmy wanted to happen.

Cody is the only person here that is probably more of an asshole than Krouse. Just could not get over the fact that Noelle didn't want to date him. Unbearably entitled dick. Possibly dead now, if Accord got his way. But very possibly not. Won't be surprised if he shows up again.

Cody's power is fun. I think it's the first "time travel" power I've seen. I mean Clockblocker does time freezing which is basically the same category but still, curious to see if we get any more level of time travel than this.

Marissa needs someone to make her some cookies and give her a place to hang out that isn't the house her mom lives in. I mean, I guess the current situation handles that but not how I meant.

I already liked Jess and now I like her even more. She's a cape geek! Wonderful.

Luke is interesting cause he was the only person besides Noelle who was close to Krouse at the start, but he's the first (well, aside from Cody I guess) to leave him. Really went through a character arc. Also Krouse lists Luke's "individual tragedy" as "not getting to fly" which is hysterical.

Oliver is a trans girl. Headcanon 100% established. It just fits so well. She just needs to find herself! And once she does and realizes what she actually wants to look like her power will get her there and won't need to keep adjusting! Right now Oliver's power is doing performative masculinity for them.

Noelle has had a bad time. God damn. She was having a bad time before everything happened and now she's having a very bad time. Damn. I had some guesses about her correct. Figured she was like, monstrous bottom half and normal top half. And figured touching her was bad. But I didn't foresee "touching her creates mutated evil clones". I'm sure that won't be a major problem in the next arc or two. I'm sure there won't be evil mutated clones of a bunch of capes to deal with . . .

I had long figured Travelers had Cauldron powers. It just fit with their power levels and such. I had also figured whatever Noelle's condition was, it was related to having a Cauldron power. I had a lot of guesses. None of them were "only drinks half a vial". For some reason I thought everyone would be too smart to do THAT! (I have no idea why I thought that.)

Current guess is Noelle is sort of in a never ending "trigger" event. Her power is constantly in the "building and gathering" phase and is not reaching the "lock things down" phase that normally happens (Bonesaw talked about this). Definitely a lot of other things it could be, this is just the best fit I've found so far.

This goes for Oliver too, which is why their power keeps changing how they look. Oliver just got lucky and has much less significant troubles compared to Noelle.

Got to see lots of new Case 53's. That was fun.

I expect to see more of Accord in the future. Just cause like, he gets smarter the more complex the problem. And the world is supposedly going to end due to (I think) the actions of higher dimensional entities. That is a very complex problem. And at the same time, he seems like the kind of person that might see "billions die" as a good way to reduce chaos. To simplify the world. Not saying that is what he will do, just that it seems a shame to not bring him up again.

I knew 40 people had died due to actions of the Travelers. I did not know Noelle had eaten them all! Because she tried to starve herself. I can see why it's important to keep her well fed. And why it's going to be an issue that there is no longer someone providing her with thousands of dollars of meat a week. No waste though, she has a very efficient digestive system.

The ending, with Trickster just staring at the bloodstain left behind by Coil's body while Genesis stares out at the ocean ... very good. I mean, really sucks for them, but it was a very evocative arc ending.

I wonder who won the Ransack tournament? One team disconnected because the building they were in disappeared into a space hole. I wonder what the rules are for that?

Wildbow's canon trans characters: "uhghg I Hate my bodyy. Andi have a Pronoun.."

Wildbow Protagonists: "I don't hate my body but feel alienated from it or seperate myself from it. I have image issues but they are a lens I view the world through and not the root of all my suffering. My hair is the only part of me I like. I have small tits and am miffed about it. *Waving transgender flag violently at very hihg speed*

Guess who finished this little guy!!!! hmm he kinda looks too happy tho... Better fix this

Yeah more trauma is enough

i think if i were a breaker in worm id be so transgender about it

yes i am a she no not while im made of energy. could you really look at my breaker state and try to gender me? take a glowing nebula of force and crackling thunder and say 'yeah, ill call that ethereal void a man to make my day easier.'

gender is a spectrum and as Legend goes faster and dives deeper into that state of light he nosedives directly from a gay man into a nonbinary woman who uses exclusively pronouns that have never been thought of before

superpowers make me so transgender. man.

HEY Y'ALL, NEW WOLFSPIDER FIC

Worm background character Headcanon.

Strapping Lad from the Houston Wards, that Cape Name isn't just "A Texas thing" like Skitter was told. Strapping Lad is actually trans, FtM and the "Strapping" part of his name is a pun which even Clockblocker has to respect the audacity of.

[trans-queen-administrator]

Sometimes I wish I never got into this fandom because when I first read Worm I just assumed that Taylor was intended to be bisexual and never exploring her obvious crushes was another part of her tragedy, she never had the time or energy or willingness to look into and assess herself because of the stress and utter hell she was going through, so she never figured out what was intended to be obvious to the reader and what could have been genuine romance and self acceptance fell to the wayside. I fully thought that was the author intent, and then I got on wormblr and then I learned apparently that's not the case. I also just assumed wildbow was transfem for like two thirds of the book because of the uniquely fucked up vibe and how Taylor was written which. Idk technically I could still be right on that one. Just gotta wait and find out. Anyway I wish I could go back to that blissful ignorance.
