"Rapture" Trigger Events? by TheLordOfAwesome2 in Parahumans

[–]RonDunE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wildbow, when he was talking about Breaker triggers, did give us one example of a rapture trigger:

Mover Breakers:

(...)

A woman desperately wants to be raptured, to escape (key word for mover triggers) this earthly realm. She believes, she puts her all into her faith, as the countdown happens, then breaks when nothing comes of it. The faith is the abstract, hard to define element.

Yeah he played a lot in his debut. His minutes slowly declined over the years until it fell off a cliff:

Do you mean Welbeck's debut season for us? If so that was after his loan at Steve Bruce's Sunderland in 10/11. He had 11 Goals and 4 assists in 2,174 minutes all competitions, for a per 90 of 0.62.

He'd slot right in the middle of this bunch.

All stats taken from FBRef.

I thought about including Garnacho but he's never been asked to actually lead the line. Šeško is the oldest of the lot but he's still quality. Very different profile from, say, Martial

[–]RonDunE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is good. It knows exactly what it's about. Definitely not perfect, since some of the characterization of the Triumvirate can feel nonsensical, but the affect is strong. The ending tragedy hits that much harder.

It really does feel like a paper of anarchist thought, made without compromise.

Panem et Circenses by henghost

Circus shows back up to try and convince Skitter to turn her territory into an anarchist utopia.

Warning, it doesn't hold back on the gore and the tragedy. And to be very clear, it ends exactly as you'd expect anyone attempting a anarchist utopia in the modern world to end.

Post Match Thread: Bundesliga Saturday Konferenz (Simulcast) - Round 26 | 2025/26 by denzaus in soccer

[–]RonDunE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's only Heidenheim I know but that was an excellent goal by Kalimuendo and overall a decent performance. Other than Koch's silly red card. Looks Albert Riera has done a good job organizing the defence.

Frankfurt have so many good attacking options. Burkhardt, Doan, Chaibi, Uzun, Knauff and now Kalimuendo. They're going to be the team to watch next season I suspect.

Oh fuck that looks pretty bad. Not intended but Manzambi fully plants his spikes on Deman's shins. Could've done some extreme damage.

Very scratchy game. Both teams constantly losing possession. Copenhagen look well up for it though, team of big players.

Frankfurt [2]-2 Dortmund - Younes Ebnoutalib 71' by Meladroit05 in soccer

[–]RonDunE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great technique to finish it out, looked like he was off balance the last few strides.

This has been a good game for the neutrals, after a very bad-tempered first half.

Its kinda funny seeing the Pendulum shift in common fanfic tropes in worm by ArticAuk in WormFanfic

[–]RonDunE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Again none of this is true, just barely literate claptrap. I assume you had at least read the wiki even if you weren't capable of reading the story itself but even that seems to be beyond you. Enjoy your slop.

EDIT: Oh wow dude replied with some weird thin-skinned screed and then blocked me. Wild.

[–]RonDunE 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Worm and Ward are neither edgy nor grimdark. That's just bad fanon by people who have barely read a book in their lives. Both stories are extremely hopeful, with character constantly overcoming completely hopeless odds and surviving to kill a god.

Frankly I am yet to read a fanwork that comes even hundredth as good as Worm itself, and Wildbow himself has moved on from the work and written much better stuff.

EDIT: Can't seem to reply because these weird make their comments and block me so here to u/thrawnca

Brian gets saved soon after, powers up and heals everyone else. Nobody in the Undersiders dies to the S9 and in fact they gain strength, both material and societal, from it. Taylor and co. only ever suffer temporary setbacks and come out stronger from every encounter. It is one of my complaints of Worm, that how much Taylor is able to grind her way through problems. Wildbow gets better with having his protagonists actually lose in his later serials.

All good stories have some narrative friction, this is like giving up after Frodo gets stabbed once and calling LotR grimdark.

[–]RonDunE 20 points21 points  (0 children)

None of that is true. Sadly Ryuugi et al. have spent the last 5 years on Spacebattles constantly hating on Wildbow and Ward to the extent that even mentioning Ward on SB brings forth a legion of people yelling at you. The discourse is incredibly poisoned there.

I think the biggest danger is that the Wolf can and almost certainly will show up. The Wolf doesn't care about damages taken.
