every time i think i know what worm is about i see a post like "did [character ive never heard of] effectively utilize girl power when she [horrific human rights violation]?" and I have to try to figure out how tf that fits into anything
#from what ive gathered#its about a girl with bug powers who wants to be a superhero but semi-accidentally becomes a supervillain instead#her hometown is full of gangs#i think she ends up taking over and/or destroying most of the gangs?#every so often giant horrific eldritch monstrosities attack and everybody with powers has to team up to fight them#theres at least one shady government(?) organization giving people powers that turn them into monsters#the multiverse is real and they sometimes import media from a universe where superheroes dont exist#theres a group of government sponsored teen heroes just sort of hanging out#theres a gang of serial killers led by the joker if editorial mandates were a canon superpower#theres a family of superheroes but the girl with healing powers has serious issues and i think goes evil?#also all of these people get powers by being traumatized which means theyre all wildly unstable#(this is deliberate)#the main character changes her codename at least once possibly twice im still not sure if the second one is a name or a title#i think a few people change their codenames actually#i still dont know why its called worm#i also dont know whats spoilers and whats just information presented up front when relevant

IF YOU LIKE THIS ASOIAF CHARACTER, I THINK YOU’LL LIKE THIS FARSCAPE CHARACTER
i did a “all gays” thing for my birthday last year but i was too lazy this year. instead here is my opinion of farscape & asoiaf characters, comparing characters i think are similar.
if you like theon greyjoy…i think you’ll like john crichton (he’s the main character).
Conga Line Of Trauma
Very loose grip on reality
Struggles with choosing between the family he’s been kidnapped into and the family he was born into
Top Two best story arcs about male victims of sexual trauma imo
Copes by imagining himself as a character in a story rather than face his reality
Pathetic wet cat of a man
if you like jaime lannister…i think you’ll like aeryn sun
theyre hot shit and everyone knows it even though they hate it - the ☀️ radiant aeryn sun☀️ and “was there ever a man as beautiful and terrible”
Well known for being good at their job (which is killing people)
Idealist that got that idealism beaten out of them
constantly repressing emotions
an arc that is very romance centered but atypical as a traditional romance
if you like brienne and/or sandor…i think you’ll like ka d’argo.
Young, experienced but not too experienced military type
Struggles with idealism and what being a soldier/knight should mean
Not forthcoming about backstory
Struggles with temper
Cool And Important Weapon And Mount
Considered mindlessly violent by many
Very weird about romance and sex
if you like catelyn stark…i think you’ll like pa’u zotah zhaan
religious and maternal
pacifist tendencies but also will cut a bitch if pressed
Infamous for being unpleasant
Traumatic death scenes
Questionable relationship with the concept of dying and staying dead
MILFs
if you like sansa and arya stark…i think you’ll like chiana
Their Series’ Hottest It Girls
Idolizes rebellion leading older brother (who ultimately abandons her in favor of his rebellion)
Desperate for family
Holds emotions close, but highly emotional
Taste for finer things in life
Baby of the group
Struggles with grief and anger
Spunky go getter
Questionable taste in romantic relationships
if you like tyrion lannister….i think you’ll like scorpius
mother died birthing him and he struggles with this immensely
tormented by a crazy ruthless woman in power
feels betrayed by a lover of a lower social status just trying to get by and gets real violent over it
The Anti Villain - has very good reasons to be insane but holy shit is he insane
Always survives despite all odds against him
If you like Joffrey Baratheon…I think you’ll like Dominar Rygel XVI (hear me out!)
Absolute ruler who faces civil war
Wildly misogynistic weirdo
Weak grasp on morality
Turned into a violent, selfish asshole as a trauma response
Hates women yet his deepest, most profound and intimate relationships are with a woman he’s not even fucking
Remains selfish and violent throughout the story but also, if you talk shit about him i will throw hands
if you like samwell tarly…i think you’ll like Pilot.
Couple of sweet fools
Underrated for being a bad ass
Intimate relationship with a Very Cool Lady From A Bad Situation (gilly/moya. moya is a living ship btw).
Just wants to be a nerd and hang with his gf (again, gilly and moya)
Doesn’t believe in himself the way he should
if you like stannis baratheon…i think you’ll like bailar crais.
Is he a hero? is he a villain? is he an anti villain? is he an anti hero? you decide!
loses his everloving mind after his brother dies
sad traumatic childhood backstory
an arc focused on what service and leadership means
[SPOILER REDACTED]
HE thinks he’s the straight man in a circle of freaks and he thinks this while being objectively the biggest freak there
and last but not least let’s go to my babies!!!!
if you like bran stark…i think you’ll like stark.
Overwhelming magical abilities
Connects magically in intimate, voyeuristic ways
Potentially unkillable
Considered a sweetie by Local MILF (his mom/zhaan)
Struggles processing a personal loss
A narrative focus on the importance of bodily autonomy
Doesn’t have as much screentime/page time as he deserves
#anyways happy birthday to me#valyrianscrolls#farscape#getting on my soap box#obviously there’s several big characters missing from both sides but i didn’t want to force any comparisons#farscape is also a lot funnier but when it’s serious it’s SERIOUS and arguably george is underrated for being p funny#also if u think i make everyone gay and trans in asoiaf farscape was my gateway drug#best example of this is the first time john & aeryn have sex. and it’s john in his feelings & scared & wants comfort.#we don’t see them fuck you just see him sit next to her and very sadly kiss her shoulder and up her neck & aeryn returns the kiss.#way sexier than actually seeing it tbh. then three seasons later there’s a mirror of this. aeryn is drinking & upset & wants comfort.#and kisses john’s shoulder and up his neck and remembers the first time. i was like eight when i watched this it blew my mind akskdk#long post for ts
