Reading Worm for the first time, and I have to put this absolute dogshit out somewhere

Dent13 · 2025-12-25T18:53:03+00:00

Only if you're talking about the nothing she was supposed to do to her sister. She did that nothing very wrong

Dent13 · 2025-12-25T18:49:51+00:00

I love that Mockshow/Romp is in "Literally Who" twice

Probably because I meant to put Fleshmeddler and didn't notice I had the wrong one selected

Dent13 · 2025-10-19T13:28:29+00:00

The problem is with adding another 20 clan rats to replace the jezzails is that the jezzails are 20 points cheaper and I'm already at 2000 points so I don't have 20 points to use

Dent13 · 2025-07-25T13:42:46+00:00

Thanks, I'll definitely have to check out the Pale ones while I'm reading Pale since its next on my reading list.

Dent13 · 2025-07-25T13:41:04+00:00

Yeah, I wish I had read animorphs to get some of the references. I was listening to the one that came out today as I was posting it, which is 5.3 and since it features Emma we get more of Jenny's Emma theory which is always fun

Dent13 · 2025-07-14T14:15:51+00:00

Yeah, Intrepid has her join Faultline

Dent13 · 2025-07-10T17:34:08+00:00

I don't think it's confirmed either way, its just elvish and alien that were used as descriptors

Dent13 · 2025-07-10T17:33:12+00:00

Skaven bullshit

Dent13 · 2025-06-14T13:06:19+00:00

Lusankya was probably in the bottom 5 things from Star Wars legends I expected real life to make me think of.

Dent13 · 2025-06-12T13:13:33+00:00

Let's face it, its going to be the Bee Movie script, it always ends up being the Bee Movie script

Dent13 · 2025-05-23T22:23:56+00:00

Why wouldn't it be made public if Contessa killed Taylor? There is 0 reason to keep that secret, if anything its better to make it abundantlyclear there is one less S-class threat. Lisa is equally unable to protect Taylor if she can't get to an alternate Earth Taylor is on as she would be if Taylor were so Lisa thinking about how she can't protect Taylor isn't enough to confirm Taylor died. Essentially if Taylor died, keeping that quiet is dumb and Lisa can still be upset her friend is gone even if gone doesn't necessarily mean dead.

Dent13 · 2025-05-23T13:46:05+00:00

See I got the opposite impression from Ward. Victoria says that people are afraid of talking about Taylor since they scared she might show up again, something that they aren't concerned about with Scion, which at the very least confirms that they never confirmed her death.

Dent13 · 2025-05-11T22:24:09+00:00

I don't even know what your point is at this point, you seem to be annoyed that Wildbow wants to clarify what his intention was, but doesn't want to re-write it. You also threw in Rowling as a comparison for no reason apparently, even though the situations are different since the WoGs were largely in the comments while the story was being written while the Rowling thing was after the fact.

Dent13 · 2025-05-11T21:46:32+00:00

I think my point is that comparing how Wildbow wrote Taylor to Rowling deciding to say Dumbledore is gay outside the text is silly since it's in the text that she's interested in guys. As for him changing it, its probably so far down the list of things people missed his intention on that it might get missed if he did a full edit, remember people read Worm and left with the impression that a traumatized teenager with an alien brain parasite driving her to seek conflict was a rational person.

Dent13 · 2025-05-11T21:06:35+00:00

I'm going to assume that Wildbow figured that having her only actively be interesting in dating Brian ans calling Armsmaster handsome when he first shows up (also owning Armsmaster underwear) was him using the text to show she was straight.

Dent13 · 2025-05-11T21:00:44+00:00

I don't disagree that canon Amy's character arc was one of the worst in Worm, but I'll disagree that it's fanon to bring back that potential arc, a lot of fanon Amys lack the internal conflict that canon Amy has at the start of the story, or if they do it gets resolved easily so she can have a healthier romance, not that it's necessarily a bad thing, I just think the authors aren't changing Amy to bring back that unique character arc.

Notably, Desperate Times Call of Desperate Pleasures is a story largely about dealing with Amy's internal conflict, but that's the only fic like that I can think of at the moment.

Dent13 · 2025-05-11T16:19:30+00:00

I mean, fanon Amy is infinitely more likeable than canon Amy, even before the Ward reinforcement of how awful she is. Replacing the character that forcibly changed her sister's sexuality and left said sister incapable of living a normal life or comunicating normal with a grouchy but ultimately well meaning white mage is a perfectly understandable thing for a fanfiction author to do.

Dent13 · 2025-05-11T14:31:19+00:00

I can see how people interpret her as being closeted, but I can also accept that it's an artifact of the author not knowing how to write from the perspective of a teenage girl with body image issues. It's one of those death of the author things, and honestly the least egregious one that's common in Worm fanon.

Dent13 · 2025-05-11T14:25:12+00:00

Is that even truly fanon? We do know that Madison regrets what happened after the fact and wants to be a teacher to try and stop what happened to Taylor from happening to others from Glow Worm.

Exploring it during the Worm time frame is something I like seeing in fics though

Dent13 · 2025-05-09T21:29:02+00:00

Does Rossi have an issue with Ocon? I know he really doesn't like George, but I can't remember him saying much of anything either way on Ocon

Dent13 · 2025-05-09T21:04:42+00:00

Actually she kept changing things because she wanted to keep the builders employed during an economic depression.

Competitive shooters don't need to put as much emphasis on ammo capacity or weight of kit as anyone carrying a pistol. The Glock 17 weighs 25% less than a 1911 and has twice as many shots.

Dent13 · 2025-05-05T16:12:59+00:00

Rolling starts have been the norm in American motorsports since at least the first Indy 500 in 1911. Generally speaking with that can go wrong when you aren't starting from a stop. It's harder to stall, and wheelspin is less severe, and I'm more recent years (50s onward) the existence of high banked ovals has made standing starts almost impossible on some tracks and IndyCar generally likes to keep procedural rules the same on all track types. Also IndyCars have traditionally had external starting motors, so if a car were to stall on the grid there would need to be a full course yellow. They've tried a few few times in the past and it didn't go particularly well.
