Me summoning all the worm posters

do you guys remember when we used to say oh worm all the time. remember that

the simurgh is whipsering into my ear (screaming 1 kilometer away) and she is telling me i must start the world's first worm cryptocurrency

[oobbbear]

Okok hear me out on this doodle idea: Worm meeting Yarnaby

They’re both treated like prized hunting animals - pets, if you will - hold little to no sense of their former selves, AND have big funky hair. (Also I love Worm. Gotta see more of my favorite tragic lesbian)

I hear you loud and clear, they deserve all the love in this world (and hugs, a lot of hugs)

Omg how cute they are 💔

Remember that time in Worm when 15 year old Alexandria vanished from her hospital room for a few years before returning to her single mother as a superhero?

How grounded was she?

How would you feel about a Worm fighting game, ala Jojo's All-Star Battle?

Seems like the wrong way to go about it, to me. A huge part of the tone of parahuman's combat is dependent on radical power imbalances, dirty tricks, rock-paper-scissors counters, clever use of the environment, and, crucially, exploitation of the fog of war generated by teamfights. I just don't think you could capture any of the parts I care about in a two-player fighting game, even if you incorporated the assists/quasi-3d rotational fighting space on display in the clips I watched. 

In terms of “games I’d want to play,” you're inching in the correct direction if you make it a team-based multiplayer thing, a hero shooter or a MOBA or an asymmetrical multiplayer game, which allow for greater integration of positioning, environment, and fog of war; the bank job as a five-on-five teamfight scenario, Payday style, or the Endbringer fights as an exaggerated version of the dynamic on display in Evolve. Honestly, for years I’ve wanted a game in that space that more unabashedly leans into straight-up superheroism, even further than Overwatch does, so this is tempting. But the wall that this hits in my mind is twofold. First, a lot of the tropes, conventions, moral assumptions, etc. that Worm is commenting on aren’t as salient in the mutliplayer game space, so I think something, probably a lot of things, would get lost in translation. Second, the act of producing a novel live-service hero shooter in 2025 results in your soul immediately getting sent directly to hell without you even dying first

.................'Baby', you say?

Reading Worm for the first time (two 'arcs' in) and all I need to say is there's no way Taylor is straight. Send tweet. OH and I hope she kills someone. Send tweets.

[praxidyke]

the first time I read worm, I knew that skitter was going to shoot a child, but I didn't know which child.

so the whole time she was trying to save dinah, I kept thinking like "okay she's going to realize she can't save her, so she'll shoot her to put her out of her misery. this is going to be a difficult choice and a defining moment of skitters character for the rest of the book".

but then that just never happened. and then she killed aster? who gives a shit about aster? not skitter and not me.

[spindle-girl]

we’re all in agreement that it’s better Dinah knew what exactly she was asking of Taylor from the moment she wrote the notes, right?

[ps2-grass-texture]

I love Taylor a whole lot but I think this reading is doing her arc and her character a wild disservice. She is forced into a number of no win choices, for sure, but also chooses of her own volition, many times, to employ the most brutal and painful tactics she possibly can to get whatever outcome she's looking for, and yeah those outcomes generally are good and shes generally very nice to people interpersonally, until she isn't, until she perceives someone to be a bully, or to be hurting someone she cares about, after which all bets are off. She, in cold blood, crowbars an unconscious man's eyes (he has a regen power) out so it would be harder for him to get away from the cops, she literally drowns people in tides of insects, and most importantly, she is not only choosing to be in those situations, to be a hero or villain or just Doing Something, she's demanding it, she's constantly putting herself in situations where sometimes a hard no win scenario shows up. And sometimes she shoves capsaicin covered cockroaches up a thugs ass because they were encroaching on her territory

people like to make taylor sound worse then she is, which is fine as a bit but maybe a bad idea when comparing someone to her, Taylor is in fact an extremely nice shes just forced into scenarios where the option to help people is kind of fucked up or involves doing crime, but in most cases its hard to argue she was wrong(or at least understandable why she came to that wrong conclusion), shes kind of like cecil from invincible, except shes a teenage girl forced into these choices rather then a government agent who signed up for it, and a lot less of a dick on a personal level

yes even the time she shot a toddler i swear it makes sense in context

Read this out of context and thought I was getting hate mail about Taylor Swift

"Sometimes I feel like a discount Amy Dallon" I say to the judge about my parking ticket.

He has no idea what I am talking about, but my legal counsel whispers a few key facts in his ear, and his face hardens.

"I sentence you to death. Immediately."

Thank fuck, I barely manage not to say as he pulls out the pistol-

*gasp* Is *that* why its enclosure is so small in Eris' apartment?

Is it just a holding tank for future sushi? Wormushi? Wooshi?

what is the charge? eating a worm? a succulent hive worm?
