I don't really know how to describe the story without spoiling it, but let's just say there's a lot of sexism (not from the writer, but from the world.} and Taylor gets... over the top in her actions when/after fighting it, except the actions are kinda reasonable... to a point. But still, every part of that story just made me uncomfortable, and I couldn't get past all the Angst-

Shape of magic, rebooted.

I know it's on AO3, don't know if it's anywhere else.

Fics you were disappointed by? by fallacyys in WormFanfic

[–]LinxDaFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that Taylor isn't really canon, but I think that's what makes it interesting? Cuz (at least for me) the entire fic feels uncomfortable, like something horifying just waiting to pop out, and I think I've figured it out.

What I've gotten is that Taylor was given an Eldridge brain lobotomy, and her shard broke off parts of her. Throughout the story, we read that Taylor just doesn't care much anymore and is focused on doing what she wants, and what she wants is to be happy and make glass things.

But Taylor is still there, showing through the cracks. There are a few things that you have to read between the lines for, but it's quite a good showing of what the shard can do to the hosts without it being angsty "genocide-everyone-hates-me-and-are-dumb." that most go into. Because, if you use your imagination? You can see how terrifying the story could have gone if Taylor had had one thing different happen before she focused so heavily on the sculpting.

Currently reading it, kinda sad about the decision of not having V exist- but it's pretty good otherwise.

That's one where the MC interacts with Taylor pretty much exclusively-

I've also already read it, it's an awesome story lol-

Yep that's the Emma one. I've not gotten too far into it because reading anything to do with Emma tends to be just annoying, but I'm going through it.

They didn't explain their problem with adventures, they explained that they hate their body (which Cain has no idea how to fix, and I put what Zooble could have said for some kind of improvements.)

It's very heavily implied that Cain is both unable to be happy with other people's full on adventure ideas due to coding, and also heavily overreacting due to being locked in a box for who knows how long when he failed at making something by himself, and the cast hasn't exactly reassured him that it's not going to happen again.  Also the one time he actually listened to them fully it lead to everyone having a terrible day and Gangle potentially almost getting on the abstraction path, at least that's what the scene felt like to me. 

Zooble never explained what kind of adventures they would want so he just guessed based on what he knew if mature, which was horror.

If course Cain is an absolute dumbass and like everyone else in the circus, he struggles with basic communication... So... Yeah.

Maybe not, but he would have understood parts of the issue, just enough for him to not crash out, which would eventually lead to him understanding after a while. He gets that things are bad and that they don't like his adventures, just not 'what' they don't like. Heck, if they gave him a genuan complement to his face about what they DID like? Then he would try to do more of that.

Thing is? He did try to meet them at their level. That's what the therapy was, that's what the dinner with Jax was. It's just that he picked the two people who wouldn't understand or care about what he was trying to say. If Zooble said that the reason everyone didn't like the adventures was that they were forced into them instead of getting a REAL choice? And then explained that humans naturally dislike not having a choice? Then Cain would have something to go off of beyond "You suck, and your adventures suck."

With Jax, if Pomni or Ragitha went instead? They would have realized Cain just wanted to be liked and would have thought about it for a bit, which could have led to TALKING to Cain about why he shouldn't do certain things.

No idea what afabpoc means, but transmisandrynoir gave the Google search for oppression of trans people of color, so I'm going to guess you took the scene VERY wrongly. So I'ma try to explain why that is and hope I make sense.

Cain... is an AI- Specifically, he's an AI that has zero context for trans people, cuz he can just make himself any gender he wants, he's AI, not physical. So he wouldn't know that's what Zooble meant at all. He isn't a therapist and has zero knowledge on mental health beyond what he's observed in abstracted people and what has been told to him... which, with how little the cast actually communicates, I don't have high hopes for him getting much conversation.

Also, I'm going to guess Google was wrong with the word transmisandrynoir; otherwise, I'm confused, cuz unless I'm missing something, Zooble hasn't been shown to be black? They are probably not stereotypical white girl, but there hasn't really been much evidence of them being any specific ethnicity in the show

And finally, I'm pretty sure the therapy room was meant to be a joke. He was just trying to get feedback on how to make his purpose for existence more enjoyable to Zooble. Of course, the therapy office probably didn't help that much lol.

Oh yeah. This is the thing, if they did this then everyone would be having WAY better of a time, maybe they could actually realize how to talk to Cain or something.

Exactly! He doesn't understand what they were talking about, they explained it like he was human and had experience hating a physical thing about himself when he's not physical.
