The problem with plot armor is not that a character survives when the story needs them to.
The problem with plot armor is when a character who needs to survive has no reason to. When everything says this character should die, and the author contrives an utterly illogical reason for this character to not get killed that makes no sense in the in the narrative.
If you need a character to survive, provide an actual reason in the text that fits. If by all logic, the hero should have killed this recurring villain by now, and there’s no good reason for their continued survival, either kill them, or give the story a very good reason why they’re not dead - and this is key
state it in the fucking text!

I cannot get over narratomancy and kvasir associated heavily with poetry being the literal engine of the ratatosk express and thus the engine of the story and Story as a force personified

I said I might do this in the tags on the first post of last week's Chill Valicer Save update -- here's the full-sized images from the in-game photoshoot I had my trio do right before said update so I'd have at least one shot of them in the correct order and wearing the correct clothes for my "OT3 Math" Valicertine's Day post. And then I ended up using all three anyway because I couldn't decide which one I liked best. XD Did I really need to do this for a single silly tumblr post about how much I love my Valicer OT3? No. Am I glad I did it anyway? Yes. XD

The thing about anxiety is that it feels like a lot is happening but nothing really is happening and you somehow are aware of this but still can't help with your heart palpitations, and heavy breathing, and trembling hands, and blurry vision, and your head spinning, and those uncontrollable tears, like wtf is actually happening

Aw man, just reread my document I wrote on my speculation on how the metagene works & how modern DC could rewrite it to being a result of retroviruses & transposons and man, I really wish I finished that post.
Unfortunately, the reason I stopped was explaining it all down to the point where someone with little genetic knowledge could still understand it proved to be too lengthy and long winded of a task.
Maybe one day I’ll pour myself back into research & finish that speculative paper. Bc I had a whole fun idea that relied on that background information that was about the Daily Planet reporting on the discovery of an entire city of metas with similar meta abilities. The town faced such high levels of radiation and contamination, only the population with the meta gene survived:(
