#Victoria dallon

So the signature powers of Goddess are an obvious parallel to those of Antares. Telekinesis to the invisible digits of the Wretch, mind alignment to the admiration aura, danger sense to Victoria's knowledge of the parahuman sciences (and a healthy dose of paranoia).

But Goddess also feels like the test run of Simurgh - a seemingly unassaible threat armed with telekinesis, an insidious master ability, and a way to forsee any threat coming her way. They're even ultimately beaten the same way, by someone they could neither control nor predict.

On one hand, it links Vicky, Bianca and Ziz into a jointed line or even a triangle of parallels and echoes, like Wildbow likes to do.

On the other hand, it means Amy could've rizzed up the Simurgh.

Only just now really considering the extent of how much it would fuck you up to declare you’re invulnerable while activating your “be impressed by me” aura, only for 1) the worst girl in the world to say “no your not” in her least impressed voice and 2) immediately getting covered in bugs. Compared to that the whole getting-shot-at part wasn’t even that bad.

Last stronghold, first breached.

This one was inspired by @quezify's work, particularly these pieces. They also have a piece called Embryology of a Wretch which feels very Victoria-core.

The thing about Aura theory is, I'm glad it's not canon but there's no real mystery about why people find it compelling, right? Because it would dovetail with a lot. Half the point of Amy's character is that being adopted by the Dallons is the familial equivalent of sticking a guy in a very slow trash compactor, and having her spend all her time next to the emotional-manipulation-equivalent of a cracked fuel canister is the perfect power-driven reification of that. This is a kid who's whole deal is that her brain is getting cooked by simplistic, judgmental narratives about good and evil picked up from her family, and over here you've got the perfect golden girl she can never measure up to, with a power literally designed to make everyone around her buy into traditional narratives about superheroes- a power she wound up with because of her own fears of failing to live up to those impossible, unrealistic narratives. And "Oh, I'm immune to your Aura via overexposure" is a very don't-upset-the-status-quo kind of lie for Amy to be telling herself. Altogether, if everyone involved is getting cooked like a hotdog by this thing- it's not thematically necessary but it would be aligned. The main reason not to do it, and the reason I think Wildbow went so far out of his way to shut it down within the text of Ward, is of course the implicit victim-blaming angle, the implication that if only that gosh-durned Victoria hadn't been so trigger happy with that aura of hers we could have avoided all that mess, she was "asking for it". And, fair's fair, a lot of bottom-of-the-barrel fanfic that came out between Worm and Ward worked that angle and it was as obnoxious and bankrupt as it sounds. But of course once you've committed to this plotline to the extent that Worm and Ward did you're kind of cooked on the unfortunate implication front anyway, too little too late

Tattletale: “I didn’t think you’d like Halloween, Hon. Since it makes finding villains difficult.”

Victoria: “That’s because you’re thinking of it from a crime fighting perspective and not from a ‘free candy’ perspective.”

Tattletale: “…Wait, are you telling me you still go Trick Or Treating??”

Victoria: “What part of free candy did you miss? And besides, I bought new buckets so Fragile One can participate.”

Fragile One: [I CRAVE HANDS FOR TREATS]

Victoria: “Not now.”

Tattletale: “Oh god, don’t tell you me you go out dressed in your cape costume.”

Victoria: “Of course not!”
