This is what I imagine is happening on the outside when taylor uses her bugs to speak

[lord-numbskull]

encountering an inconvenience while my hair is greasy: im just a pathetic worm and everybody knows. everybody is pointing and laughing at me, the worm.

encountering an inconvenience while cold: damn that sucks, oh well, i’ll figure something else out!!

encountering an inconvenience while hot: we all deserve to die right now, come on everyone, lets all go die

Oh, oh! Could we perhaps get some nice land planarians? I think people get very mean about them due to the invasive instances and forget how neat they are in their original contexts + how pretty the endemic species are. Love the blog, thank you!

ARE YOU READY TO GET FLAT AND SLIMY?!?!?

Love you too kitten.

i think ward would have been a lot better if it actually committed to being post-apocalyptic tbh. a lot of the half-baked nonsense worldbuilding feels like wildbow not wanting to actually write a post-apocalyptic setting despite the apocalypse having litcherally happened at the end of the last book kind of sticking him with it

It'd be gauche to keep turning every post about indie cape things into a rumination on how Worm is the best to ever do (whatever the idea is under discussion) but unfortunately it keeps being true

[rhapsoddity]

Been rotating the idea that Worm sacrificed himself for his friends a lot when they were experimented on as kids,, not that it lasted for long. Worm can only take so much before Jeff starts rotating through his subject again

Hiii could we get any virus/malware themed ones?

Somehow, the only ones I could find were these computer worms by Animation Factory.

The only biokinetic in the Parahumans saga who is chill with doing what he does is Blasto. And he gets fucking killed.

WORM WORM WORM

I didn’t mean for this to be a worm on a string

I've become so Worm-brained in the past few weeks that I thought that was Glory Girl.

The thing about Aura theory is, I'm glad it's not canon but there's no real mystery about why people find it compelling, right? Because it would dovetail with a lot. Half the point of Amy's character is that being adopted by the Dallons is the familial equivalent of sticking a guy in a very slow trash compactor, and having her spend all her time next to the emotional-manipulation-equivalent of a cracked fuel canister is the perfect power-driven reification of that. This is a kid who's whole deal is that her brain is getting cooked by simplistic, judgmental narratives about good and evil picked up from her family, and over here you've got the perfect golden girl she can never measure up to, with a power literally designed to make everyone around her buy into traditional narratives about superheroes- a power she wound up with because of her own fears of failing to live up to those impossible, unrealistic narratives. And "Oh, I'm immune to your Aura via overexposure" is a very don't-upset-the-status-quo kind of lie for Amy to be telling herself. Altogether, if everyone involved is getting cooked like a hotdog by this thing- it's not thematically necessary but it would be aligned. The main reason not to do it, and the reason I think Wildbow went so far out of his way to shut it down within the text of Ward, is of course the implicit victim-blaming angle, the implication that if only that gosh-durned Victoria hadn't been so trigger happy with that aura of hers we could have avoided all that mess, she was "asking for it". And, fair's fair, a lot of bottom-of-the-barrel fanfic that came out between Worm and Ward worked that angle and it was as obnoxious and bankrupt as it sounds. But of course once you've committed to this plotline to the extent that Worm and Ward did you're kind of cooked on the unfortunate implication front anyway, too little too late

Regent: Well, in Canada, the dress code for funerals isn’t that strict, eh?

Grue: There you go, acting like a Canadian whenever it’s convenient for you.
