fuck i hate living in an area with possums. i see one and my sleeper agent training forces me to do the soy point and scream 'PALE REFERENCE' at the top of my lungs. fml

[liliennacht]

pale did have cool character ideas thou.

like the Tearaway -Kid who could transform into anything and the Girl riding a City Bird he was in Love with.

an when the Tearaway Kid transformed into a biblically accurate Angel to impress her.

" what can i say? she was a girl and i was a being of infinite glory"

i lived that bitch. he was great

The use of the classmate ranker app to find victims for the hungry choir is actually subtle nod to the fact that the internet is evil in real life too!

I know it is 3 million words long, but I still believe that Pale should be longer

Avery is representation for normal boring gay people

I love her but if she was anymore basic she'd be a harem protagonist

[selamat-linting]

gotta be honest, charles is a complicated character that i lost track of after i fell off the pale bandwagon, im sure i barely know him now. but still, i will forever remember how he came in the judge contest wearing nothing but the fur of the carmine. slut behavior.

That's already a thing in Wildbow's Pale. There was a character named Sharon who was something called a Skeptic that had that effect on magic around her due to the raw power of disbelief. There's more than one in that universe too.

Supernatural creatures are baffled, confused, distraught or even terrified when all of a sudden their powers and magic stop working, reducing them back to basically being humans. The source: A human so disbelieving that all magic and supernatural effects stop working within a certain radius.

Which WB characters would fall for a crypto-scam?

[goattypegirl]

It's funny how all through Pale Verona keeps thinking 'man if I didn't have my friends I'd be such a powerful wizard and so fucked up and evil' and then she's shown what would have happened if she didn't have her friends and she's just. Kind of mediocre and lonely. It's very 15 years old of her.

Wildbow Titles, Explained

Worm: Named for how as a bullying victim, Taylor sees herself and is treated as being as low and insignificant as a worm--Nevermind a giant space worm shows up at the end. Pact: About makin' pacts with demons. 'Nuff said. Twig: The modern word "clone" is derived from greek word for twig. Also, something about how one of the main themes is about growing up, and effectively growing into a different person from your younger self. Ward: The main character spent a formative period of her life in a hospital ward. Also, she was on a team called the Wards for like a day. But all of this happened before the actual story. Pale: The archaic sense of the word "Pale" means a boundary or limit, survives in phrases like "beyond the pale". The main recurring theme is about the ways that people try to bring about social change, and the reasons that some attempts might be successful while others aren't. Also, the word "pale" in the color sense evokes death as the apocalyptic pale rider. Also also, there's a giant pail at the end. Claw: The climax of the story is a dude literally getting his eyes clawed out.

People are in the comment section of Pale handwringing over whether or not it was okay for Lucy to lay a hex on the guy who left her mom after 5 years bc he couldn't handle the way his family treated them as an interracial couple 💀

I love Pale

[echoingobserver]

Pretty sure she was indicating she's even more messed up about the boogeymen, what with all three of them being very human-looking and also the part where she and Ribs burned one of them alive. And also the nailgun through the brain.

[lucy voice] i hurt all of these Others that could have been people...............and bogeymen i guess but fuck those guys

[unbeknownsttomen]

here they are, since we are going to hav some time before the next serial lets do a look back at how far we've come.

one thing i noticed out of all the fanart that grabs the protags and makes them pose as a team because shit just got real is that they never really interact with each other. each one is doing their own thing, so i wanted to explore how would they look like if they actually DID have to interact with each other. who would get along with who, who couldnt be able to stand the other. lots of fun.
