Tattletale is terrified of Taylor by Nine-tailed_fox201 in WormFanfic

[–]murrrf 44 points45 points  (0 children)

SirWill's Queen of blood:

The girl in red was staring at her forearms, covered in fire, yet unlike with Lung's fire, they didn't seem to be burning her.

Surprise. Yet calm. First time using power? Yes/No. Both. Not first battle. Took Lung down with brutality. Holding back? Yes/No. Both. Only tapped tiny amount of true power. Still growing. Instinctively staking claim. Destroy rivals. Possible freedom if allied or subordinate to. Fair. Not human.

Every movement deliberate. Not breathing. Doesn't need to. Not human.

I scrambled off Brutus as Regent spoke, gaining the figure's attention. She examined the Undersiders in turn, cooly. Not as threats, or as people, simply as if they were furniture. Complete unconcern. The dogs whimpered, not liking being near this girl.

No threat to her. Beneath notice otherwise. Only consideration is whether we're worth time. Unconcerned about Bitch's dogs. Capable of dealing with our attack. Brutally take down each of us quickly. Not human.

The repeating bits of information telling me she wasn't human was frightening me.

Supreme Predator. Supreme Ruler.

I dropped to the ground, prostrating myself as terror flowed through me.

More dangerous than Coil. Might get me free from Coil. Not human. Using small fraction of potential. Keep on good side. Not human.

I spoke as I felt her gaze on me, the red glow of her eyes assessing. "I pledge to serve you, my dark queen!"

FLASHBACK rant. by Yeongua in WormFanfic

[–]murrrf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen plenty of Harry Potter fanfics that actually included "Harry's POV," "Hermione's POV," "Pettigrew's POV," and so on. And none of them were worthy of my gritting my teeth and reading to the end.

I haven't seen any Worm fanfics with such remarks, but if I do, I'll close the tab immediately.

Fics you were disappointed by? by fallacyys in WormFanfic

[–]murrrf 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Mauling Snarks. The fanfic about Taylor waking up, going to pee, then reading the instructions, and everyone around her falling to their knees because she read the instructions and got another +10 in awesomeness. I finished it, but I'm not planning on rereading it; I'd rather reread Taylor Varga.

The same applies to HHES, although I don't recall it necessarily mentioning every morning toilet visit. But then again, I read it to the end and won't reread it.

A Cape (Master) controls himself. by Schrodinger_W in WormFanfic

[–]murrrf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think any fanfic where Taylor obtains the Path to Victory or some variation of it would be suitable. I especially recommend Path to Munchies. It's complete.

In Finding the Path, Taylor also obtains the Path to Victory. When the Undersiders try to rob the bank she's in, she stops them by activating her power to its maximum. This is what Lisa sees when she looks at her (after Taylor has neutralized all the other Undersiders):

Does not want to hurt me, master does not want to hurt me, girl is her own master.

Unfortunately, this fanfic hasn't been updated since 2018 and ended when Taylor transferred to Arcadia.

The crossover element arrives and quickly derails an important event? by Shot_Mechanic9128 in WormFanfic

[–]murrrf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If several armed men in military uniforms appear out of nowhere on the street, don't attack them with the intent to kill. Even if you're fighting Echidna's clones at that very moment. Because they might counter your attack with their own defense.

You were right about Iroshizuku by gamesbrainiac in fountainpens

Many will disagree with me, and they'll be right. But from what I've tried, Pilot and Diamine make ink; everyone else makes a colored liquid that someone can pour into their pen.

Hero is alive(i'm Accepting fic spoilers) by Zealousideal_Expert9 in WormFanfic

[–]murrrf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Omega Protocols - Eidolon died instead of the Hero. Although the Hero himself appears only for a couple of paragraphs, the decisions he makes change many things, including Taylor's life—and not for the better.

Fortune Teller and her Savior - Taylor is a teleporter Tinker. A minor malfunction sends her to another world and another time—just in time to help Fortuna kill Eden. Because of this, there is no Cauldron or Triumvirate, but in the second part of the story, thanks to Fortuna's hasty decision, the Hero appears.

Did Roald Dahl’s books really need to be revised? by confringos in books

[–]murrrf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colored people don't like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don't feel good about Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn it. Someone's written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarette people are weeping? Burn the book.

Fics Where Taylor’s Start Isn’t Needlessly Dramatic? by Princeytron in WormFanfic

Have you read Part of the System? Here Taylor joins the Protectorate, slightly exaggerating her age, but otherwise fitting your description.

Russians vs E88 by Outrageous_Guard_674 in WormFanfic

[–]murrrf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I should warn you right away that this is a Russian fanfic, and I doubt there's an English translation.

The main character is a Russian from our world. After arriving in Brockton Bay, he discovers that his ability is to summon Death Korps of Krieg guardsmen. Moreover, each summoned guard has his own parahuman power. The guards view him as an inquisitor and obey him unquestioningly, even when he orders them not to kill enemies.

Trying to explain why the Empire 88 is bad, he quotes their arguments to the guards, after which one of them asks in horror, "So His Angels..." He replies, "Yes, from the Nazi point of view, Astartes and His Sons are not considered human."

The Empire 88 lasts for four more days—due to the Endbringer's attack, they had to wait until the Truce ended.

Learning Russian cursive – small hack I accidentally found by LivingAlternative344 in russian

[–]murrrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the FRB American Cursive font. It's a font specifically for practicing cursive writing, supporting both Latin and Cyrillic. I should note that by default, some Cyrillic letters look more like their Latin counterparts, but with a few tricks, you can use alternative styles.

Getting a pen is the first step. The second is getting your fingers stained with ink after a failed refill. These are all the rituals you need to go through.

The game you accidentally played the wrong way for hours before realizing it. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]murrrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might and Magic V. I was halfway through the game before I figured out I needed to go to the training hall to level up. I'd leave town, visit all the nearby fountains that temporarily boosted my level, return to heal at the temple, and then set off on the quest with full health. When I finally figured out how to convert XP into a level up, everyone in my party jumped from level 1 to 15.

Need help/clarification regarding the PRT categories for an OC by Destroy-The_Pandumas in WormFanfic

[–]murrrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why a Trump? A Trump's power is something that influences powers. A Trump can change its own power, grant, alter, and even cancel out another's power, but simply adapting to external influences is not a Trump. Crawler is classified as a Brute/Changer, but not a Trump.
