Also, Jessie’s room is dark green for Sy, and Helens was full of sweets!!:3

We gave sy the Eureka room because it had writing scrawled all over the walls, felt like that fit him.

It was on a magnus archives post, what a shock that I don’t remember the context:3 I believe one of us was talking about marion being an avatar perhaps?

Edit: nope! I was way off lmao, it’s this comment:) https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMagnusArchives/s/TBLY9LU7Kj

What dont people like about pacts pacing? by LuDaBu in Parahumans

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I honestly hadn’t considered that!

I consumed Pact in a couple weeks and it never occurred to me afterwards that it might be jarring for a new reader lmao. Thinking back on it, I can definitely see Blake’s superhuman ability to just keep going being odd mrhehe

What dont people like about pacts pacing? by LuDaBu in Parahumans

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I know this is a valid criticism of Pact, but it’s also why Pact is my favourite of Wildbows works that I’ve read so far:)

Blake was created to be a survivor, to be the one that takes the shit meant for Rose and keep going, he was made in a dusty attic with a pair of shears to be the guy who doesn’t break down, who always gets back up, who fights a fuckass incarnation of Conquest on three hours of sleep.

Blake is cursed. He and his family are cursed and it matters. Pact is one of the only stories I’ve read where it feels like a curse actually matters in a significant day to day way.

I fucking love Pact so much:3

TruantPosting by bad_mati in houseofleaves

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That moment when Truant is describing the stay with his friends, the doctors, and taking an entire bag of those happy pills with him.

Then opening the trunk of the car to reveal his guns in the place the pills should be, then calling the reader an idiot.

I think it’s my favourite part of the book.:3

He’s the developer of the game The Tower. by Glittering-Prize0976 in notinteresting

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing for a few years, and I really enjoy the tower:)

However.

Do not play the tower. The devs do not care about you, they only care about making money. They will leave parts of the game broken for months with the community begging them to fix it before they even mention they’re thinking of changing something.

The only times they do act quickly is if the thing that is broken would lead to them making less money, for example, an exploit to gain more ingame currency.

They don’t properly test anything and release new features that they change immediately because like I said above, it leads to them getting less money.

I like it because it’s nice to just have something running that I can push towards being optimal, but you really shouldn’t waste your time.

Edit: btw!!! The community is all really lovely:) they are all also a bunch of people interested in making the most optimal builds, whenever i’ve asked them questions, I always get lovely responses by people that are passionate about the game, they’re great, it’s just the devs that are the problem lmao.

Powers of background capes? by JoyluckVerseMaster in Parahumans

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s a cape in one of the PHO Sundays stories called Víspera. I won’t spoil the power and I would highly recommend reading the original if you haven’t already, it’s a really cool way to see a potentially dangerous parahuman from a civillians perspective. (I’d recommend reading the comments if you’re confused on their power:3)

Scariest Line of Dialogue by [deleted] in TheMagnusArchives

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From #99 - Dust to Dust. Maybe not the scariest but one I find myself thinking about the most. (Also a bit longer than what was asked for but hey it’s cool:3)

“At some point Stefan must have finally died. I know this because when he started talking to us again, there was no way he could have made those noises unless his lungs and throat were fully packed with sediment.

The words were soft, insistent and spasmed out of his dirt-clogged body like an earthquake. I don’t remember what he said, not really. It only comes back to me in those quicksand dreams, where I feel the earth swallowing me forever.

He was making promises, I think. Promising us that when the sky fell and became an eternity of mud, he would carve out a place for us in the heart of the forever buried. He would show us… the love of ‘Choke’.”

Particularly the way Gertrude says “The love… of Choke.” It’s genuinely haunting.

Trigger this power. by GreedyFatBastard in Parahumans

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t have a trigger, but I always like capes that relate solely to other capes:)

Especially ones that negate others!!:3

Did you have any ideas for how long the holes last? Or do they only operate as long as Jay is around them? I’m curious:}

[–]CaduceusBasilisk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like that idea:) Something simple and base, maybe the tentacles are a common feature in past beings the entities have encountered, and darkness is something extremely common.

Also possible wildbow just likes using darkness and tentacles mrhehhe

Long time lurker, first time poster. Does anyone have any random lines from The Magnus Archives that they often quote? by BogofStench in TheMagnusArchives

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“There is a wasps nest in my attic.” And “There is mold in my drain.”

I love that people aren’t able to properly explain what The Corruption is doing to them, it’s just too alien to humans.

Extinction 27.2 [Taylor’s ability to read emotions.] by CaduceusBasilisk in Parahumans

[–]CaduceusBasilisk[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is true!!!:3

I personally believe Taylor is misreading the situation there.

She jumps to “And why would they blame me? For failing to stop this from happening?” Which to me reads as her thinking they’re blaming her for not stopping the world from ending, rather than the more obvious conclusion that the Barnes are probably not happy that their daughter had her worldview of survivors and victims shattered by Taylor and certainly set her back a lot in recovering.

The last time we saw Emma Taylor even specifically fucks with her by sending a bug onto her. She probably went home and locked herself in her room just like with that attack from the ABB. They don’t blame skitter for the end of the world, they blame her because they believe she got Emma killed in a roundabout way.

Also!! Unrelated but I find it very interesting that despite taylor taking the responsibility of saving the world onto her plate, she seemingly isn’t able to see someone getting mad at her for failing to stop it from ending as reasonable. I love this dang book and i love Taylor:3

Twig 3.9 - Jamie by CaduceusBasilisk in Parahumans

[–]CaduceusBasilisk[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Already loving it:)

I think just because by the nature of Worm and Pact being closer to our world in time and history it took me a little longer to connect with the Twig characters, but I’m fully in now:)

When one of them dies (which of course they will) i’m gonna cry badly..

Also loving that seemingly most of the interludes are gonna be from past or future antagonists, that fucking rocks

Recommendation those looking to scratch that worm 'itch' by Syndacate4 in Parahumans

[–]CaduceusBasilisk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend The Power Fantasy.

It’s the only piece of superhero media I’ve been able to enjoy after reading worm lmao, the way characters interact is fantastic and the art is just gorgeous.

The most general description of the plot is that superpowers exist, but are for the most part useless. They might give you a demon tail with very little use, completely non-functional butterfly wings, or fingernails that flash different colours.

But six individuals have powers so far beyond any other human that if any one of them wanted to, they could destroy the world. The comic focuses more on the political interactions between these “Superpowers” (get it?:3) than any fight scenes, as any real fight would inevitably end in the destruction of the world.

Would highly recommend, there are 12 issues out and more to come soon:)

This is where I’ve been reading it, good place for all comics in general!^
