In my heart I know that Mary and Lillian were doing Farcille bathing scene shit on a biweekly basis

Sylvester how do you keep fumbling such baddies. They are falling at your feet and you don’t even care. You fumbled Mary Lillian and Jamie in the same arc. Wtf.

philosophical ask game: Lillian Garey?

This game is so extremely my shit, I never thought I would ever get to think about Frankfurt cases after I graduated.

SEND ME A WILDBOW CHARACTER YOU LOVE. I WILL TELL YOU WHICH PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT EXPERIMENT YOU SHOULD GET REALLY OPINIONATED ABOUT (SLASH DEVELOP A PSYCHOSEXUAL FIXATION ON)

Well the obvious answer is that Lillian fans would enjoy Bernard Williams' George the Chemist thought experiment: George is offered a position developing something he himself finds morally repugnant. He knows that if he doesn't take it, someone else who is more eager to get it developed will be hired, whereas if he was hired he could save lives by slowing it down. Williams claims that utilitarianism is wrong because it prescribes that George should take the job, whereas his integrity demands he refuse it.

That said I already answered with George the Chemist while talking about Taylor. So I'm gonna say that Lillian's reoccurring disconnect between what she wants and what she wants to want makes her a prime example of Frankfurt's model of first-order and second-order desires.

Not cool Lillian

Lillian dryly commented, “I saw you kill someone last night with just your legs.  I know for a fact you can very literally kill people with both hands tied behind your back.” “My fingers weren’t behind my back, they were in the other man’s eye sockets, silly.  That’s leverage for twisting around and moving!” “It’s true,” Mary said. “Don’t.  No, enough of that,” Lillian cut in.  “When you two gang up on me, bad things happen.”

thank you @heart-shaped-pupa for indulging me and chatting about twig minecraft au

Sy's relationship with Lillian is interesting and I have nuanced and reasonable opinions on it but reading her interlude instead of his POV it really is just. That's not a fair or OK thing to do to a 14 year old girl! Stop! Get away from her!

compilation of lambs sketches

Yeah I really like how it doesn't shy away from showing how well-meaning people can be deeply complicit in horrific wrongdoing. Lillian is such a powerful character because, in addition to being complex and ambiguous, she's so much like so many well-meaning liberals who are "good people" but who nonetheless have a material interest in maintaining the catastrophic status quo. In many ways twig takes a sharply different approach to worm when it comes to portraying injustice, insofar as it deals so much with how little personal morality really matters--what matters, instead, are the ways in which our economic and libidinal investments are controlled.

One thing I really like about Twig is how the lambs don't immediately defect as soon they're made aware that The Crown is bad. I love that Wildbow acknowledges that leaving and rebeling against those kinds of institutions is actually really fucking difficult and that for many characters such as Lillian serving the crown benefits them in many ways.

Also love that the rebel faction aren't 100% good and that many of their leaders are probably just as power hungry and self interested as the people their trying to overthrow.

“If you were in my shoes, Ms. Garey, how would you completely and utterly destroy him?” that deep voice asked her.

Her vision swam.

There was no good answer.  She had to satisfy him, or the Lambs would be deemed useless and wiped out, but answering…

No.  She had to give him exactly the right answer.

“Lord Infante, in your shoes, I would first ask how to completely and utterly destroy each and every last one of the Lambs, and then I would see it through.”

Oh very cleverly answered, Lillian.

Discussion time. Compare and contrast the ways in which Taylor Hebert, Lillian Garey and Valentina Hurst handle confronting their high school bullies.

[insert if I had a nickel etc.]

As a bullying survivor(and I use that term intentionally), Worm's bullying is probably the best depiction of it I've seen. It really captures the crushing despair and the inescapable nature of bullying, but also something else.

I think, looking back on it, the bullying can be divided into 3 segments. Initially, with Taylor being bullied in school and being a complete victim. Taylor trying to fight back(the bus ride makeout, the fight at the mall), and being destroyed due to her opponents having more power than her. And Skitter's day back at school, where she has achieved enough power to win the fights and doesn't want to.

But let's focus on the second part. Taylor starts fighting back and keeps losing to Emma's crew, which is great for showing how there is no way to win, that bullying is inescapable and a function of the system that Taylor can't beat until she achieves power outside of the system. Great leaning into the themes of the work, also a great example of how much bullying actually sucks for the person trapped by it.

But it's relevant that Supervillain was not the only way to build power outside the system. ANYTHING other than High School quickly ends the bullying. Taylor starts skipping school in earnest pretty early on, followed by summer vacation, and Emma et al are just irrelevant to her as soon as she does. Taylor doesn't realize it, because trauma, and the narrative doesn't mention it IIRC, but the instant Taylor builds any sort of life outside of High School, she's free. And that's an important thing to hammer home in any discussion of bullying. Alexandria and the S9 are awful, sure, but the instant you aren't in HS anymore, no one can pull HS-level trash on you.
