fuck my wormpolls are queued out to april
Having seen Iron Pineapples review of Nightreign. Game looks cool, not 40$ cool. But I look forward to Elden Ring mods adding in the new content back into the game I actually wanna play.
(I expect to have a similar opinion about Dusk Bloods.)
choking, gagging, and moaning on it
And by "it" i mean the little bit of chip stuck on my tonsil
I think being a puritan, especially openly, when it comes to fandom is a bad thing, actually. How have people lost the plot when it comes to making and engaging with fanfiction especially??
"Don't yuck someone's yum"
"If you want to see it sometimes you have to make it"
"Don't like, don't read"
"It costs $0 to be kind"
All of these should be commonly understood as How You Interact In A Community, yet still, people don't get it.

Why go for one person in your head when you can have fourteen? Go big or go home, I wanna know what the Butcher experience is like.
I’m wondering what character from worm or ward (someday I need to read pact, pale or the other one) would be the best to be a voice in your head. I’m thinking this cause I’ve been playing a lot of cyberpunk recently. But trying to pick a mix of “I wouldn’t mind what they have to say or the might be fun to have around in my brain” and “their not the shittest person in the world who would tell me to do nothing but the worst things possible.” I want to know some people’s ideas about this, I’m still on the fence about who’d I pick.
I'm changing my answer to "BB was on Moosehead Lake", try and stop me poll-lady
I didn't initially want to do this, since other people have done perfectly adequate and highly popular "where is brockton bay" polls before, but I decided i simply had to have it on my blog:
look, i try really hard not to, you know, like, put my finger on the scales, or whatever, but why would you pick Vermont? It's landlocked.
Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

Denial and Decay are not options. you know full well that in this case "state" refers only to the constituent political entity and element of the organizational structure of the united states of america, buster. You better quit it or i'm gonna get mad.
do you guys think that eidolon wasn't able to find a power to heal hero because early on in his career he spent all the time he could in hospitals using the ever dwindling stock of healing powers he had and when the time came he came up empty. do you think he resented all the lives he saved through healing that then proceeded to fucking torture himself with guilt over thinking that single thought for the next decade.
I definitely feel like worm, and the fanfics, are at their best when it's "worm the dark superhero story" and not "worm the superhero sci fi story".
Just sort of weakens the setting and world? And I hate how much of a sword of damocles Scion is for so many fics because if you don't change enough about the setting to where Gold Morning doesn't happen, then the plot might have to go there and that doesn't feel like it works for every fic. I admire a fic who states outright in the tags or authors notes that "Hey, Scion just fucked off to be depressed about his alien girlfriend, this story won't have a gold morning" because it lessens that narrative weight that works for canon worm, but not the plot of every fanfic.
Some of my favorite wormfics (Shamus, Postdiluvian Road) are concentrated cape stories about what being a small-time player in the world actually looks like.
Canon Worm is great for what it is, and it also has a narrow focus and pathway of escalation that I love, but I don't think the majority of fics need to follow in the footsteps of.
Haven't read Ward but every mention of stuff from Ward that I see in the wiki (Firmament, Shardspace, Titans, etc) makes me groan.
huge worm spoilers below the cut
honestly, despite the fact that it was baked into the story from the very beginning, i genuinely feel like worm and fanfiction thereof is served well by kind of ignoring the whole source behind the powers.
like obviously the Entities’ goals drive a lot of the conflict (both a storytelling term and literal fights) but frankly i feel like worm is best when it’s about the people living in a world that just kinda fuckin sucks.
‘what if everything was worse and also people had superpowers and do very human things with them’ is way better than the whole interdimensional space whales that have inserted a thing into a bunch of peoples brains that gives them superpowers but also makes them want to fight so that they can explode everything
and don’t get me started on everything in fucking ward
i would look so hot half dead on a floor
