Worm Arc 15 interludes thoughts

Carol interlude:

Holy shit you really were just a fucking TERRIBLE mother!

Like I get it, you had lots of horrible childhood trauma. And you didn't want to adopt Amy and let yourself get bullied into it by your sister. But that doesn't give you an excuse for how you treated both your kids.

Got to see another trigger event!! Fuck yes. Give me more. I want to see more details on those higher dimensional beings.

Fucking hell seeing Marquis's powers in play is pretty crazy. Dangerous boy.

Carol was just going to full blown stab right through that closet door without even looking inside! She almost killed a child! God damn.

“No.  He’s just my daddy.  Reads me bedtime stories, makes me dinner, and tells me jokes.  I love him more than anything else in the world.  You can’t take him away from me.  You can’t!” Fucking ooof that's a line.

No seriously though this can't be the first time there has been a young child of a cape that needed to be adopted because their parent was arrested or killed. Is there really no system in place for this? Cause Amy should not be going with Carol.

Just the way through most of the present sections of the interlude that Carol thinks about her daughter and Amy. Not her daughters. And this was before she knew anything about what Amy had done. Terrible mother.

HOLY SHIT AMY OH MY GOD YOU MADE IT EVEN WORSE! And I thought flesh coffin Victoria was bad! FUCK!

Vic is going to need lots of therapy.

Fucking Carol basically deciding Amy is her daughter now only because she doesn't want to think about Victoria being her daughter. Damn. Bad mother.

And Amy is in the birdcage (Hellfire playing in my head the entire damn time I'm reading this part). I'd be rather terrified to see what she becomes except no one ever gets out of the birdcage so obviously there is no worries. She is never going to be an issues. (I shouldn't need the /s but just to be safe.)

Brian interlude:

Not much to say here, most of my thoughts on this relationship was said in my last post.

I do always love seeing Taylor from the PoV of someone else. Just shows how fucking badass she is. And kinda terrifying.

"She conveyed an eerie kind of confidence that he knew she didn’t have at her core." This is just incorrect bud. When she isn't thinking about how she is portraying herself she conveys the confidence she does have at her core. The stuff she hides from herself.

Alexandria interlude:

DATES! DATA! LORE! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Date of first Endbringer attack!!!!! Strong estimation of the number of capes in August 1986! Knowledge that Cauldron was working in 1986! Their "success" rate at the time that I can compare to now! (Success in quotes cause I don't personally think tentacles is a failure. I want to meet tentacle lady.)

Obviously I'm not a big fan of any of the Cauldron people on the surface. But I think I like Contessa within those boundaries. I technically have no idea what she can do but I'm almost positive she is some type of precog. And I kind of ship her and Alexandria.

Behemoth is fucking scary. Just light people on fire from the inside, shoot lightning. Full energy manipulation. Damn.

Alexandria is the head of the PRT! Damn! (I assume at least.)

I want to know more about the Terminus project!

And Coil is a product of Cauldron! But he doesn't know it (supposedly). Damn. They list him as an alternate to the Protectorate which is very interesting. I'm super curious what Cauldron's goal with the Protectorate was and how Coil can do the same.

Fucking Alexandria just going and grabbing people to be experimented on and it's "ok" cause they were dying. Holy shit! She even manages to make the comparison to her chemo treatment and still does it! Fuck lady. You can justify anything.

Triumph interlude:

See? Triumph is fine! So Skitter didn't do anything wrong.

Triumph is Cauldron created too. Cause he was only good enough at baseball for the minor league but not the majors. God damn fucking privileged ass rich white boy. And he describes it as a traumatic thing! God. At least later he does kinda call out that he got stuff from having a rich dad with connections.

Assault seems to be doing great! Sure was a good idea to let him join the Protectorate just cause he wanted to be a creep to this one girl. Turns out when that girl is gone he doesn't have any motivations to be a "good guy". Great decision Legend.

Robot daughter! Good to see you again! And you built yourself a bio body! Or a head at least. Still, fun!

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Defiant.

Definitely isn't Polearm McGee! Nope! Absolutely a different person. That also likes really long pointy sticks.

I am glad Frank Miller's Armsmaster was able to remove the restrictions on robot daughters code. She deserves freedom. Pretty much served his purpose now and she basically just keeps him around to humor him. "Oh yes I need Defiant to help me, even though I built his suit and could just control it directly myself."

Seven Dragon suits in Brockton Bay huh? I'm sure that won't result in anything next arc. What with Dragon specifically on the lookout for Taylor and Taylor planning on going with her dad to the town hall on the election.

Triumph gives in to the weight of not speaking up about Defiant being Armsmaster but then he gets mad at Prism for not speaking up! My dude! You didn't speak up, you can't be mad at her for the same thing!

Fucking LOVED the ending of this interlude, and thus this arc, though. Absolutely perfect. Just with the inherent comparison of Defiant to Mannequin, especially considering Colin called Mannequin a "monster" in his interlude and said "I'm nothing like you!" And then Triumph thinking how he could see the reason for every step Colin made and could see himself justifying each one. And the previous chapter had Taylor dealing with how far she had let herself go. All that and then ending this chapter with Triumph staring at the bodies of Crawler and Mannequin (finally confirmed dead) and the line "Maybe it was to find some clue, some sign he could watch out for, that would let him identify the monsters from the men."

Just fucking. So good. I think it's my favorite quotable arc ending so far. I might like Arc 11's ending more (it's close) but not in quotable way. "All lies" at the end of Arc 14 is a close second, but I like this one more.

[shrimpalbuspotter]

I was thinking sad Albus thoughts (as one does) when I went to thinking about the Prophecy Rodolphus gives Delphi, specifically the line,

"when unseen children murder their fathers"

At first I was just thinking, "huh, that really is sad! Albus was destined to be the blacksheep of his family!"

...And then I thought deeper. I thought very loosely about Voldemort, which caused me to think about Tom, which caused me to make a connection that I'm 100% sure people have made before, and I'm 80% sure wasn't on purpose.

That specific line in the prophecy is comparing Albus Potter to Tom Riddle. "When unseen children" aka, Tom being an Orphan and cast off from the Gaunts and the Riddles, "murder their fathers" because, as we all know, Tom did indeed kill Tom Riddle snr!

It's such a stupid thing for me to be happy about realising but it's simply because it piles onto the list of people/scenes comparing Albus to Voldemort. And I am a sucker for a good "Albus becomes the next Dark Lord" trope when it's done correctly.

It doesn't help that RIGHT after this the line is "then will the Dark Lord return." It's all just such an insane thing that I wish I saw other people mentioning so I could've freaked out about it earlier. I love you CC

Ok I'm obsessed with this AU as much as I am with the puppet AU. So I'll give you some context as to why my friends are sick of hearing me talk about strawberry short cake:

Context of the series: they are tiny little inhabitants that live in a small fruit orchard where the inhabitants that dress in their corresponding fruit take care of their orchard from an evil wizard and have cute and tiny adventures.

My au is based on the 80s series (I need someone to send me the whole season plssssss). I made some modifications to adapt it to Pinescone so it's not 100% canon based on the series.

And if you needed to make this AU why MY GOD WIRT AND DIPPER FEEL SMALL WITH CUTE FRUIT OUTFITS AND GIVING EACH OTHER A LOT OF AFFECTION AHHHHH

By the way, I like the strawberry shortcake X orange blossom ship. They're very cute.

(PDT: two likes and I'll make headcanons of these two in this universe. You don't know how much I want to but I have no more space left)

okay but Burn by David Kushner is so early cc!cupbros's relationship w devildice. 2nd verse is mugman to dice: "you can use it [your pain] as a weapon / but i won't ever let it pull me back under again / i let'chu fool me once, but now i'm dead and gone". mugsy's sympathic to dice's plights (him wanting to know dice's past, dice's pains - maybe in an attempt to relate more/get over his leftover fear of dice?), WANTS to know the man even though he killed and hurt him (mugs), but he's still standing strong in the fact that you hurt me, you KILLED me - i can't just unlearn three years of fear and hatred at the drop of a hat. he "won't ever let it pull [him] back under again"/fool him.

the 1st verse is cuphead to devil: "all you ever caused was pain / you can say you're sorry, the evidence is on my body / but i never complain / i wear it as a lesson, a curse and a blessing". cuphead DOES wear his scars as a lesson, because while he's a wild fuck and does chaotic shit, we've never seen him do anything to threaten his or mugsy's life after the fights in cc. hell, HE'S the one saying they (him & hilda) needa make a plan before bursting in to save cagney from the flower gang; HE'S the one who's suspicious of gabriel while mugman's the one who's being too trusting. he's cautious about the shit that matters to him, and that is BECAUSE of the fights, BECAUSE of the devil.

and he never, ever 'complains' about ("the evidence is on my body / but i never complain"), never actually SAYS "i learned my lesson, now praise me for it" - he doesn't expect brownie points or anything, he just does it BECAUSE he cares. and sure, cuphead's grateful he learned that lesson, but it still HURT. still scarred and pained and killed him even at the best of times, still does, to an extent, and he can't just ignore that. NEITHER OF THEM can ignore that.

anygays the main 4's dynamic is so much more complicated then just the plain old "awwww classic enemies to found family" trope, which i LOVE, don't get me wrong, but. ihhh. there's SO MUCH MORE & dear god but this song just PERFECTLY catches that, that mix of hatred/fear but still caring for the person(s) & aAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
