could you link some worm livereads? favourite format for psyching myself up to go back and finish worm
Krixwell is the only liveblog I ever read much of. It's not a format I've ever used much but Krixwell was fun while I kept up with it.

@disgustedorite I don’t think so!  I might read them and post my thoughts, but I don’t think I’d be comfortable liveblogging the written word.  For those interested in seeing someone liveblog text, though, check out Krixwell, who does Worm and a few other things.

Hey there!
Just wanted to let those of you who haven’t been paying attention over on the new site know that I just finished migrating Arc 14. We’re on the homestretch now!
I hope to be back to liveblogging proper by next week at the latest.
Damn, how I’ve missed it.

So here's a thing I just found out...
In the English dub of Madoka Magica: Rebellion, Madoka's parents are voiced by Taylor Hebert.
Sorry, I mean, they're voiced by

a Taylor,

and an Hebert.
Tumblr media
That's a thing.

So here’s a thing:
I have a friend with whom I tend to discuss linguistics and translations. This friend, Glass, speaks Spanish as a second language, non-natively, which means that language comes up a lot.
I also sometimes talk to them about Worm, which they haven’t read (this makes me feel a lot safer about discussing it outside the blog than I usually do).
So when I encountered an Anglo-Spanish pidgin in Worm, of course I had to talk to them about it!
Krixwell: So here's a thing you might appreciate The last chapter of Worm I read included some lines in an Anglo-Spanish pidgin 
Glass: Huh What'd it sound like?
Krixwell: ----- “To gustaria livir?” She asked, in the local’s anglo-spanish pidgin.  Do you want to live? His eyes widened as he seemed to realize she was there.  “Eres an gwarra engel?” “No,” she replied.  She brushed his hair out of his face with one hand.  “No an engel.”  Not an angel. “Livir,” he breathed the word before slumping over. -----
Glass: "Livir" That's... weird to hear It's an English word with a Spanish sort of conjugation
Krixwell: And later: ------ “Eres okay,” she said, in his language.  “Eres livo.” It’s okay.  You’re alive.  She forced herself to smile as reassuringly as she could. ------
Glass: Now that I think about it that's just the actual word for live/alive (vivir/vivo) but with an L
Krixwell: Nice.
Glass: If "live" were directly used in Spanish as a loanword it would probably be "livear" “Eres an gwarra engel?” Something like "are you a war angel?"
Krixwell: I interpreted it as "are you a guardian angel", but you'd know better than me and "war angel" makes more sense with the setting of the specific scene 
Glass: In Spanish I believe it would be "¿Eres un ángel de guerra?" The U in "guerra" doesn't get pronounced, but I guess that's where the pidgin part comes in
Krixwell: There and in the construction of the compound using the English format
Glass: Oh, and in Spanish "eres" means "you're" so I'm surprised "eres okay" didn't get translated as "you're okay"  And in fact I'm surprised it's not "estás okay" or whatever the pidgin variant of "estás" would be The actual way to say "you're okay" would be "estás bien" which uses another word for "you're"
Krixwell: I did translate it as "you're" before the POV character gave her translation.  Honestly, "you're" makes a little more sense.
Glass: I wonder if this is an actual pidgin
Krixwell: It would be like Wildbow to use an actual one
Glass: The words "an" and "engel" are intriguingly ambiguous about which language they come from "an" could be from English "a"/"an" or Spanish "un"/"una"/"unos"/"unas"
Krixwell: I like how it ends up getting spelled like in Norwegian. The latter, I mean
Glass: "Engel" could be from English "angel" or Spanish "ángel" Would probably be clearer if I heard how it was pronounced, though Spanish one is very roughly pronounced like "AHN-hell" (I need to learn IPA one of these days.)

Migration clarification
It's come to my attention (via Sharks) that there's a bit of confusion about the current hiatus and the WordPress migration, so let me clarify a few things:
I'm currently manually mirroring the blog's contents to WordPress, due to Tumblr making stupid executive decisions and being quite likely to die as a site within the next year or two.
(For anyone not in the know about that: Tumblr suddenly went "no porn, guys" and entrusted their bots, which have long proven to be completely incapable of identifying whether something is porn or not, with identifying whether a post contains porn or not. Any post they flag is blocked from public view and requesting a review by a human on an old flagged post is a pain in the ass. And it doesn't even stop the porn bots because they can just tag everything with #sfw and, for now, the bots believe it.)
There's a lot of blog to go through and I have limited time each day to do it, so it might take a while. I'm currently at 6.9 after about a month of this, so I hope to be finished around March. Ideally earlier.
The reason I'm not blogging more chapters while I do this is that I can't trust my Tumblr posts to stay accessible anymore. I have multiple backups from before the NSFW ban took effect (December 17, 2018), but anything I post after that is unsafe, and any further backups taken afterwards would potentially miss any posts (new or old) that have been flagged.
The WordPress site is already available to view, but since I'm not finished mirroring it (and fixing the mess left by the automatic Tumblr mirroring suddenly partially working after I'd dismissed it as broken and started doing it manually), I consider it under construction.
The site can be found here.
When the migration is finished, I will continue liveblogging on the new site.
I will also update this blog with links to new posts on the WordPress site as long as Tumblr stays functional enough to let me do that.
Comments are, for now at least, enabled on the WordPress site, but I will not be reading them.
I hope this clears things up a bit. :)

There's still a ways to go for the migration, but in the meantime...

I saw this awesome Captain America cosplay by Dania "Hijabi Hooligan" Khalil and was immediately reminded of Worm's Miss Militia.

End of Interlude 15c
This was a big one! Lots of great stuff:
Alexandria’s backstory
Further proof that she’s a lot like Taylor
Good stuff about communication between a victim and her relatives (communication really seems to be a theme of the Arc)
The Doctor portrayed in a positive light (though her less scrupulous side shows too)
Cauldron backstory
Evidence suggesting the quiet bodyguard (Contessa?) - who’s apparently been with the Doctor since she was a teenager - is more than she seems
Protectorate backstory
Meeting Doormaker
Confirmation that Cauldron has long-term goals besides making money
Behemoth
Getting to see Case 01 from an internal perspective, even if Alexandria didn’t really have much of an immediate reaction to Hero’s death
Some clarification on Manton’s situation
Alexandria of all people collecting lab rats because all that matters to her is that they live
Confirmation/reveal that Coil is somehow important to Cauldron’s ominously-named plans
Where do I even begin to elaborate? This Interlude was awesome through and through.
I appreciate that the dates were given for each section. It helps make not only this chapter’s, but the entire story’s timeline a lot clearer. A lot of this chapter’s events were things we knew happened sometime within the last 10-30 years, but exactly when each thing happened was unclear. Now we know, for instance, that Case 01 took place in 2000, and even that it was September 15th. Nice.
I think my only complaint is that the obvious dangling book-end bait of fake smiles to keep up morale was barely tugged on at the end. It’s not a big complaint, though, at all.
Next up... mayor mission? Maybe also the conversation with Coil about Parian, if any of how that goes down matters. See you then!
