Character Flaws And Their Meanings

Bad influence

And *that* is why I can't read the story again past the start of the Moon Gems arc. It's too tragic for me. The ending is so bittersweet and unsatisfying; I'm glad that it's the way it is, but I still can't ever read it again.

sometimes i think about when phos was torn to shreds by her own family, being manipulated by the lunarians, and buried in a hundred different holes for hundreds of years

and like

everyone just moved on. no one cared. not the lunarians she was trying to help, not the family she loved. just left with her own hatred to soak in.

there really isn't that much i find relatable about phos. i'm very solitary. but that stuck with me.

never put any stake, positive or negative, in others. it will inevitably fester and leave you worse.

Killed that bitch Agheel! Kicked my ass several times a few days ago, but I'm 20 levels stronger and with better gear, didnt even use Torrent or ranged attacks, just a sword and a dream

You ever spend a few years trying to mould yourself to suit someone else and what they like but it doesn't work? And then you get out of that, because its obviously unhealthy, but then youre stuck not knowing who you are or what you like, romantically, so you just sort of flounder. Then you dont meet people ever or know how to meet people, so its less like digging a hole deeper and more like standing in quicksand. When your only standard becomes "someone who likes me" because you've already experienced being with someone who didn't and learned not much else.

I feel like wormblr doesn't need a week to deliberate this one...

Bouba/Kiki context

Note that this is Taylor as Skitter, not as Weaver or Khepri, since those are different cape identities. I will post polls about her as Weaver and Khepri later

Just a little fandom rant-

For some reason a lot of wormfic seems to feature a trope or piece of fanon centered around a "Dragontech cell phone/computer/whatever" and it bugs me. Doesn't Dragon's power explicitly prevent mass production? And wouldn't her breaking into the tech sphere with Tinker-made cell phones have issues with NEPEA-5 or whatever? And being Tinker-tech, wouldn't it be impossible to be commercially viable due to maintenance? I know it's a convenient way to handwave the lack of visible tech companies or recognizable products, but it feels like a lazy workaround. Earth Bet can have a little Steve Wozniak, as a treat. Or a Bill Gates, or whomever. And like it's *always* Dragon, there's never another Tinker who specializes in telecommunications and commercial touchscreen devices.

Just a little irksome thing.

(poll suggested by @germesthegenie)

if you're wondering what THE BUG MEANS (no relation to the slug), i'm referring to the point in the oil rig battle where taylor gets turned into a giant bug by her lab rat vial.

i love spoilers so bizarre and vague that they don't actually explain anything. like these people just saw a tv adaptation of 1.1 they don't even know what a trigger event is like why are we explaining how contessa dies

make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

Oh wow any holiday celebrating a marginalized community is being targeted by Trump and Elon’s White House?

Who could have guessed?

Who fucking could have seen this coming?

Who would have expected the rapist, the sex pest, and racist duo would do something so cruel???
