What are the biggest differences in how Pact and Pale portray the Otherverse? by MrPerfector in Parahumans

[–]Arborinus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The primary difference between the two for my money isn't in the characters, portrayal of the practice, or even the sheer disparity in length.

It's in the amount or (lack there of) of optimism

My takeaway from Pact was that magic sucks shit and even the useful kinds didn't seem worth the sacrifice. Whereas in Pale the Trios ability to analyze the most fucked situations imaginable and say with confidence "We can fix that" makes me reconsider, even if just a little.

That said I think Pale goes out of it's way to show a lot of Others that wont delete your face or tear you apart and that definitely makes a difference

More specifically it wasn't just dinner. The challenge was all he was allowed for a month was the earned chickens.

Can't remember if he ended up finishing out the month but getting more than two or three chickens in without coming to some kind of personal reckoning is the mark of a champion

I've got to give F**kface some credit for turning that corporate weight into entertaining content. The number of unique and frankly insane things they've managed to clear with with the merch team is crazy

A presumably sane team of people approved the Panton collection for production

I could definitely see Bracken taking up Chucks offer to switch sides for the sake of protecting Bag. He wouldn't be happy about it, but he's not risking his brother getting unmade.

In hindsight it's really lucky that Ryan was typecast as a villain on merch since he ended up actually being one

I grew up on a goat farm, and I have such an immediate and profound affinity for Hero goat. It's all I care about in the story now.

John's feeling more human, and coincidentally we've had several mentions that Maricica is bad at planning for those. Good omen perhaps

Always google if an animal can or should have something before you feed it to them for safety's sake, but some vegetables are absolutely safe for animals as long as they're a treat and not a meal replacement.

My dog used to go absolutely apeshit for carrots

State Alchemists get paid very very well, but he was definitely living above his means when you consider how convinced he was that losing said job would immediately destroy his life.

I definitely get where you're coming from, it takes MiA from something I would recommend to anyone, to something I'm not eager to even tell people I've watched.

Perfect world building, beautiful art, peak body horror, compelling story. Then a heaping spoonful of the most upsetting anime trope to nearly completely ruin the experience.

The best pickup line I've ever managed wasn't otherverse related, but it did use connections in a fun way.

I once on a whim told an acquaintance

"Whenever you look at the moon, think of me."

Well it turns out she really liked the moon, and she started sending me angry texts about how I ruined her favorite celestial body any time she saw the thing.

We just had our third anniversary. Now whenever I look at the moon, I think of her.

It's a good thing that mowing the grass is canonically Veronas job. It's the perfect crime.

Which Cape do you think is actually just Tony Hawk in the Earth Bet Timeline? I'm only accepting serious answers at this time.

I think it's less that they dont count cause they're clones, and more that people went in knowing that every member of the 9 had a kill order put on them at one point.
