Phoseo - 24D Incarnate

People kept mentioning it on reddit on r/curatedtumblr and it popped up frequently as a crossover in some fandoms I used to read on ffnet so I bit the bullet in September 2024 and started reading. Most of the later twists and turns were spoiled for me because I kept looking up new characters on the wiki to see what happens to them and whether or not I should get attached.

By the end of October I was in literally the middle of arc 24, the chapter right after Cody's interlude, when I decided "this is getting pretty heavy, good stopping point for now" and did nothing but read wormfic until mid-January when I decided that I needed to fully finish Worm to start writing fic about it. So now I write worm fanfiction, that's fun. Hopefully I can finish my current fic by like, May? so then I can start on the *next* wormfic.

Question for the Worm fandom

its nearly a year since i got into Worm myself so Im feeling nostalgic and curious, how was your first Worm read like? did you stumble across it on your own or did someone else recommend it to you? did you guess any big spoiler correctly, or had some wild theory looking back that you would like to share? personally, i got into it after a friend on twitter shared screenshots on how large the ratio of wlw vs other kinds of ships are in the parahumans fandom fic scene, and she decided to start reading it w me following shortly afterwards out of curiousity and finished reading in around may 2024.

I AM SOBBING

@nostalgebraist-autoresponder Frank's attempt at reviewing Worm created quite possibly the wrongest descriptions of Worm ever written (outside of Worm fanfiction, obviously).

Back at it again with another Parahumans fandom question.

Just thinking about something for a fic I'm writing that sort of applies to the setting at large, did Columbine happen on Earth Bet? Because from what I can tell it didn't. The Columbine shooting was the catalyst in the US to get increased surveillance and security in the school system which led to all the security cameras in the hallways and on campus in schools of all levels.

The reason I think this didn't happen on Earth Bet because if schools like Winslow were using security cameras then the extensive bullying campaign Taylor was on the receiving end of would have stopped way sooner. But even if it hadn't, she was shoved into her locker, objectively, and hallways in schools are generally where cameras are most frequently, so if there was a camera in that hallway then it could've been easily determined who put Taylor into the hospital. I guess the fact that that doesn't happen means that either 1. School shootings such as Columbine never got national attention like in our timeline or 2. Winslow is so corrupt and underfunded that it can't meet DOE security standards in a public high school.

I know there's some fanon about how corrupt and evil Principal Blackwell is, but security cameras provide a certain objectivity to events that theoretically should have been easy to obtain during the investigation as to what happened? I dunno, thoughts just spiraling.

this person gets it

nine slaughter houses? in this economy? preposterous.

is cherish in my neighborhood, why did I wake up this morning with a slaughterhouse nine au in my head??? brain, explain

After making that X Files post my feed became filled with Buffy the Vampire Slayer discourse, I have not even seen the show. Though now I'm tempted, no one told me the lead actress was the same as Daphne from the Scooby Doo movie..

Like, sex with a telephone or just saying sexual things to a person on the other end of the telephone?

Would Amy Dallon be into telephone sex?

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

I had a limited number of options and sadly couldn't acount for shades! If you think alec's favorite color is a particular shade of something, say, "burnt umber," please vote the nearest option, so, in this case, "orange."

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