#Neil Pelham

[elcuervoborracho]

So, was asked to draw New Wave as they were during their Brockton Bay Brigade Days by Polar Potato and I thought it was a good time to make some of my own designs for them!

[victoriadallonfan]

The idea of Manpower having a secret identity, pre-New Wave, is very funny to me.

The dude is a 7 foot tall slab of muscle and blonde hair. He’s obviously Manpower!

Did his family just keep him locked up in the house all day and night ala Quasimodo until they unmasked themselves?

[lemurlord]

What the fuck does New Wave dress up as for Halloween? Carol 100% has opinions on what should be worn.

(Let's assume for our purposes that they would actually dress up)

[graffic17]

Do you think that Neil ever looked at Victoria, and wondered?

Do you think he scanned her face, watched as she got growth spurts, thought of how her powers resembled his more than any others (regardless of how powers actually come about), compared her to Crystal and Eric?

Did he ask Carol if she was sure of who Vicky’s father was?

Did he die regretting never finding out for certain?

TWIG:

I didn't read twig

[lakesbian]

i think wildbows main thing with heights is he's really bad at imagining characters as not being all approximately the same height. there are other things obviously but that's the only main conclusion i can draw from how taylor is written as being unusually tall for a girl while the average height in worm for all women appears to be 5'10 & from how sy is written as being unusually short for anyone while still never being described as more than an inch or two of height shorter than the other lambs (or even the same height as them in the case of lillian). now of course this theory still can't sufficiently address what the hell is going on with coil, neil pelham, and brian, but height in wildbow novels is far too much of a mystery to decrypt so easily

[shakertwelve]

why did wildbow say neil pelham is seven feet tall

[skitter-queen]

Anette was fucking Neil Pelham when Danny was out doing Carol Dallon which means she and Victoria are actually half sisters

some kind of universal law requiring that all of victoria's sisters are freaks

[joetwistmusic]

On this day, one year ago, our #queer rights oratorio “WATERSHED: The Death of Dr Duncan” received its world premiere @adelaidefestival performance by the amazing @adelaidechambersingers, @ainsleymelham (The Lost Boy), Mark Oats (Duncan/Dunstan), Pelham Andrews (Mick O'Shea/Cop). Libretto by Alana Valentine & Christos Tsiolkas, directed by Neil Armfield. Creating this with so many incredible people would have to be the most significant and wonderful experience of my life. Looking forward to more of Watershed in the future 🙏💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (at Dunstan Playhouse, Festival Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpUpagayg6y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Neil Pelham

[graffic17]

Manpower!

Again, I have few thoughts on Neil. He's not much of a character. Though I am aware of certain developments in Ward that do make him slightly more interesting.

Notes

¹ Both cuff and monokeros are noted to have dark hair in Ward while having blonde hair in their original appearances (Worm and WD Helena respectively).

² White Fairy is Mr. Gladly's girlfriend and a prolific redditor who is seen during the leviathan battle and the PHO greg interlude. deep cut. As a mortal enemy of greg veder, please treat her with appropriate respect.

³ Axehead is never seen in ward. However, Titan Skadi (who forms from Axehead) is described as having golden hair. I am presuming that this is from axehead the human having blonde hair.

⁴ Literally 1 person told me any characters from claw. i haven't read it. there's more than 2, but i haven't seen anything.

Neil “Manwhore” Pelham

all of the worm characters can lose round 1 @bestfictionalnewenglander is still going to be the most iconic poll any wildbow character has wriggled their way into. there are people who saw that and are going to believe in canonical victoria “cop” dallon for the rest of their lives. instant classic.

[shakertwelve]

would any of the Vic's like video games and if so which kinds would they like ...

victoria: does victoria play video games...? i feel like if it had been a major hobby of hers it would've come up in ward so probably not a lot. but i could see her & amy & the pelham siblings playing mario together maybe

vinny: same as victoria but even less because eric doesn't exist in vinnyworld (neil died too early) and i figure he was probably the one who was most enthusiastic about games

victor: has by far clocked the most hours in the gamer chair but his tastes are not that interesting. popular fps & fantasy rpgs that ended up influencing his costume design

vixen: they moved around too much for anything bigger than a handheld console but she had like a ds or something that she could play in the car. probably fond of pokemon
