Wip of Spiderman's berserker mode-

When Spiderman is in a legitimate holy fuck life-or-death situation, (or when his spider senses go from 0-Thanos Just Popped in and is Gunning for me) his body automatically burns its entire store of venom in one big burst, giving him a massive boost in all his powers for 10-15 minutes.

This is the ultimate state of fight-or-flight. He can't control when or if it happens.

When he's in burn, Spiderman's only objective is to survive- either by putting down the threat or getting away from it as fast as possible.

During burn, everything is enhanced- his speed, his strength, his healing factor, etc. He feels little to no pain and fights with the single goal of coming out alive on the other side. He's not necessarily mindless, but he also doesn't hold anything back and will fight to kill if that's what he thinks will give him the best chance of survival.

In this state, he's powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with a fairly serious Thor. However, going through burn is EXTREMELY traumatic for the body, and coming out of it is just as dangerous as going in.

When it's over, Peter is pretty much catatonic/comatose for a few days while his body heals- and basically as powerless as a civilian while his body restores enough venom to put him back into a balanced state.

To date, it's only happened twice (and is the original reason he caught Kraven's attention.)

TLDR: Spiderman's venom works on himself as well, but in a more extreme fashion.

anti-abortionists and pro choicers like me can agree on one thing: whoever creates the life can destroy the life. only the former have the male-self-insert god character who metaphysically acts as the one "knitting" the fetus in the womb, while those who observe the world as-is without invoking yahwhist lore rightfully attribute that ability to the woman.

whilst dallas was out at work zara showed up to drop off some papers but lola and her had an argument. kody calmed everyone down and encouraged zara to speak to dallas, so when he got home they did & argued a bit, then they talked about the kids for awhile, but then things got a little out of hand and they hooked up leaving dallas VERY confused 😣

we get a lot of really great stuff in system collapse about murderbot's relationships with ART and ratthi, which makes sense, because it spends almost the entire book with them. but i also love how even though mensah isn't there for most of the story, other people keep reminding mb of her:

chapter 2, page 25: “From ART’s personnel file, she [Karime] was older than Mensah and she didn’t look like an intrepid space explorer, either, even in the protective environmental suit.”

2, 27: “It took Karime three seconds to process the abrupt statement. (She was almost as good at not looking annoyed as Mensah was.) She kept her expression neutral and patient.”

2, 28: “In the underground colony room, Karime lifted her brows. ‘Another occupied site?’ I thought she was being careful not to show too much reaction. It was the way Mensah would have played it.”

4, 70: “Iris looked at me and I saw her hesitate, because her hesitation looked a lot like Dr. Mensah’s hesitation. And I realized I really didn’t want to go down there.”

5, 104: "Iris has that same thing as Dr. Mensah, the thing where she’s able to look and sound calm under circumstances where shit is possibly about to go down.”

it's spent so much time with her and it knows her so well and respects her so much that she's the model against which it compares all other humans. it thinks about her when they're not together. it's protective of her. it has such total faith in her competence. it (non-romantically) loves her and doesn't want to not see her again. idk man, it just gets to me! and they were teammates (oh my god they were teammates!!)

bonus:

I said, aloud, "You have to be kidding me." (ch. 2, p. 28)

seven pages later, in reaction to the same thing:

Mensah had had time to review the feed video. She muttered, "Oh, you have to be kidding me." Yeah.

Something about a Pygmalion take on Jaceporter is so appealing to me… in that way that Porter reveres power and domination… the tension between his desire to seek out and keep a Jace as a perfect spineless compliant lackey vs a need to remake Jace in the image of someone who is powerful and dominant and assertive. Jace that is complacent and cowardly and passive is a Jace he can use and control but never respect, and he loves what that Jace can do FOR him. But as Jace is transformed by rage, a Jace who is furious and oppositional and autonomous and actualized and powerful and is able to stand in the face of Porter and tell him he cannot stay even if it means death is a Jace he can respect and maybe even admire but no longer control. In the same way Henry Higgins cannot truly make a Lady until she has outgrown him, (“Eliza you’re magnificent. 5 minutes ago you were a millstone around my neck and now you’re a tower of strength. A consort battleship. I like you this way Eliza” “goodbye professor Higgins”). Because conflict is at the heart of war, Porter cannot truly anoint a Saint of the God of War until Jace has outgrown him.

knitting, but with a friend this time

I'm new here but very curious about your upbringing being spent more on the sea than on land!! how did that come about?

my dad is a captain and my grandfather owned a sailing school, so my first sailing trip was when i was one month old! my dad just used to hang me from the ceiling while steering the ship while i slept, rocked by the waves. this has given me the superpower of never having been motion sick in my life - you have to start early, i guess.

when my brother and me were little, we spent almost all our summers and autumns sailing on the baltic sea with my grandfather's students. these summers are some of my most treasured memories, sitting on the jib with my cousins and watching the baltic islands pass by. i always loved numbers and graphs so my dad taught me traditional navigation, and i have been yelling at grown men telling them to go where i want them to while waving a compass at them since i was eight, which i think really shines some light on adult me's authority issues.

we still go sailing every summer, but on a smaller boat, and it's very often just my immediate family or my brother and me sailing up to denmark or sweden for a few days. my brother is studying to be a captain and uses our excursions for navigation practice, so i have now become the grown man steering the ship getting yelled at and threatened with a sextant, so it all comes back around.

Shoutout to child hosts of teen/adult-bodied systems. System spaces tend to be inherently not accommodating to people like us, and there’s still so much stigma surrounding child alters being “allowed” to do “adult things” in adult-bodied (and adult-minded) systems.

imagine your body being designed to turn against you. you're a weapon on a genetic level. violence is woven into your bones.

Mitsubishi HSR VI, 1997. The last in a series of Mitsubishi HSR (Highly Sophisticated-transport Research) vehicles, the HSR VI featured four wheel steering, active yaw control, traction control and an autonomous driving system. Presented at the 32nd Tokyo Motor show, the entire passenger cabin could be raised for ease of entry and exit and to improve visibility when the car was being driven rather than driving itself. It was powered by a 2.4 litre GDI 4-cylinder engine driving all 4 wheels

Sara "-can you roll around? Like this-"

Duke "Wrrfh."

Emil "I feel like we ought to get him to understand the difference between a dog toy and a chair leg before other commands."

Sara "Aw. But chair legs are yummy too, amirite??"

Emil "Chair legs for you then, more fish for us-"

Sara "Blah, blah. Can you hear a word of what he says, Duke? 'Cause I sure can't."

Becca "Oh... Emil, you didn't need to cook."

Emil "I wanted to try this recipe! Smells good, at least."

Sara "Uh, it does. Figures you're some kind of cooking prodigy, just your kind of nerdy thing to do."
