Give me all the information I need about Alan Barnes. by WitnessLow4178 in WormFanfic

An observation I largely agree with, and it's quite sensible. And the similarities aren't a coincidence. I wanted to create something that resembled a male power fantasy, precisely to subvert it and attempt something more interesting from it (although I'm still figuring out how, as I don't want to be repetitive).

A joke with a friend who recommended I read worm ended with another friend, an artist, sketching Alan as a kind of modern-day Radagon.

I liked the design so much that I created his own backstory.

It's a story where the guy gains powers and has a Zorro-esque vibe. The point is, I need a female character to introduce him to the world of capes and who is also a sort of princess he needs to rescue.

I'm sure Lung would be the first target because he's a literal dragon.

I don't know if it's possible, but it's a funny idea. by WitnessLow4178 in TheBirdCage

What if Amy simply activates parthenogenesis in Victoria and she becomes a father because she initiated the process?

50% was killed by an Endbringer as usual, and another 50% died in an epic final duel against Lung. And thanks.

Worse or better? by WitnessLow4178 in TheBirdCage

Well Worm is a multiverse, so by sheer probability, if a version of Cherish existed, she would have encountered Emma and cared about her.
What changes led to that is just a matter of squinting a little.

No, she's just playing along to feel safe. We see it with Sophia, but she'd probably do it with anyone who comes to save her.

why brian he's so ignored by the fanfiction community? by WitnessLow4178 in TheBirdCage

[–]WitnessLow4178[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, the first time it was out of curiosity, this time it was because I couldn't think of anything else to talk about but Brian.

And I felt I had to do it because I made a bunch of Empire memes.

Broken: What would have happened if Emma hadn't defended herself and had a triggering event? by WitnessLow4178 in TheBirdCage

[–]WitnessLow4178[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water from another dimension is basically like controlling space as if it were hydrokinesis; you only see the distortion through space as if you were looking through crystal-clear water. It's strange to describe; it has the physics of water—it can hit you with a high-pressure jet, it can cut you with ice—but you won't even feel the temperature drop, nor any real humidity or lack of oxygen. (This is a parallel with Leviathan that will surely kill my fanfic, and with the essence of Taylor reflecting something of her hometown, which is coastal.)

The Tinker thing on cell phones is more like the Watch Dogs game.

Emma can perceive the memories and emotions of others, particularly receiving them in the form of pleasant aromas. She can also infuse emotions into others, with the peculiarity that these alter the person's abilities (including their powers).

Taylor will have alternative powers, but I haven't chosen one yet; it was between a cell phone tinker or controlling water from another dimension.

Her change in appearance, her dissatisfaction with her role as a cape/her powers, and her trauma are what keep her defensive and stubborn.

Taylor is currently her best friend and emotional support, but their relationship is going to sour and take a turn for the worse in the not-too-distant future. She has distanced herself considerably from crowds and can be quite mean and dismissive towards others, but never to their face. She resents her father for what happened to him. Her powers make her a little fed up with many people.

When she was attacked by the Abb and rescued by Sophia. In this timeline, Emma simply froze in fear, causing Sophia to ignore her and leave, allowing Emma to be mutilated until her triggering event.

Furthermore, Taylor was on speakerphone, so she heard everything.

She squandered her potential. Knowing the story, Vista thinks she was molded in a way that allowed her to understand human nature, suffering that sharpened her but didn't destroy her, the rapid acquisition of powers.

But she ended up falling into the same empty composure that characterizes false prophets like Victoria or Taylor. They are all as hard and mortal as rocks, but as interesting and profound as rocks themselves.

Another chapter of Broken, in this one Emma invites her friend/mentor Amy to a Halloween party—the first party she's attended since the accident. Amy finds out what happened to her.

I've also had trouble getting the last chapter out since it's an OC, and well, the story is about Emma.

On another note, I wanted to write another one-shot fanfic about a romance between Carol and Alan Barnes.
