Things That Happen in Pale

There's a quest-giver who is clipping through the floor and ceiling and is pretty much fine with that.

A man pees with such force that he is used as a jetpack by another character.

Heroes are chased by a murderous big-titty corporate executive with a croquet mallet.

There is a dead-serious plot about successfully delivering ice cream cake to a bunch of monsters without spilling any.

There is a very tense scene of the hero being outed to a family she's working with to navigate a giant game board.

A character's bond with a opossum is a deciding factor in a fight.

In an emergency, the main character uses fireflies to pull off a double-jump.

A villain catches the big bad wolf in a magic mirror and sics it on the heroes.

The main character does a magical girl transformation into a mailman.

I misled you, this all happens in one fucking chapter. And that's not even a full list.

Virgin Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor: if we explained why this rock could talk it would suck all the joy and poetry out of everything

Chad Wildbow: the complex and intricate worldbuilding on the nature of others means I can explain why this cigarette is near-sentient in a satisfying and interesting way, and then some magical teens can go interview it in a dream where they're all film noir in a smoky speakeasy overhearing local chatter

Pale is Worth Your Time

So today Wildbow posted the last epilogue of Pale. It’s finished. Which means there’s never been a better time to get into a megafictional epic about three teenagers solving a murder mystery and learning to be wizards.

If you’re looking at its word count – longer than any of his other web serials by far – and wondering if something that long is really worth getting into…

I’m here to tell you that the answer is yes.

Pale is worth it. It gets my fullest, most ringing endorsement.

There are a few fight scenes that drag a bit, but overall, Pale is the best-paced and just plain best-written of any of Wildbow’s works. Unlike some other web fiction I’ve read, and even some of his previous works, Pale knows exactly what it wants to be and is firing on all cylinders to get there.

Pale is Wildbow at the top of his game, creating brilliant, emotional character moments and a rich, expansive magical universe. And I think it’s a better introduction to that universe than Pact, which is a much bleaker story. Pale makes the Otherverse fun and accessible, in a way that enhances reading Pact, too.

And also it’ll rewire your brain? In the best way? There’s no other story about how to fight for justice, about parents and children, about how to live in the world as a person, that comes anywhere close to discussing them with as much depth as Pale does.

But the neat part is, you don’t have to take my word for it.

Pale isn’t one of those works where you have to slog through a certain amount before it “gets good.” Everything I’ve been talking about here is present in Pale from the very beginning.

So if you’re on the fence about Pale, I recommend reading an arc or two and seeing if you like it. If it’s not for you, then you can figure that out without that much time investment.  

But if it gets its hooks into you? Then you’re in for a treat. You’ve got one hell of a ride ahead of you, a story you can sink into with just as much obsession as a multi-season TV show.

Come join us in the world of Pale. Come hang out with Lucy, Avery, and Verona.

It’s pretty great over here.

I'm a few months late, but I've been wanting to paint Verona since I started reading Pale. I just want her to be happy! To do art and collect weird books and chill out with Julette! Had a bit too much fun decorating Verona's desk. I'll point out two things for free: a tiny portrait of Lucy, and a postcard from Avery.

Mixed media, but mostly watercolour, on paper.

we should all go collectively vandalize the wildbow fandom wikis i think. brians summer of the forest is real. leet “died” in brazil (began working with Lillian from Otokono Pharmaceuticals to produce DIY HRT). Blake is a trans man and Rose is a trans woman. Victoria Dallon never commited police brutality ever, actually. Rain was a cis woman until wildbow retconned it. Charles got forsworn because he miss-gendered (heh) Zed. Twig is a figment of your imagination, and was never real to begin with, have you been taking your meds?

Wildbow protags play Lethal Company:

- Victoria reads the wiki and all log entries, tries to strategize with the team on each moon, makes sure no one brings back a mask or tries to make the ship leave early

- Taylor typically brings a weapon, likely the zap gun, and constantly walkies everyone about her whereabouts and room locations

- Lucy also brings a weapon, shovel typically, and has made it a skill in killing all hostile npc except the forest giants and sand worms

- Verona likes to do a lot of voice chat trolling using soundboards, thinks the Loot bugs are adorable, RP’s elaborate trade agreements with them

- Avery isn’t very good at the game, but she loves using the teleporter to pop in and rush out with scrap. Has decent odds of success when working with others

- Blake has a mechanical keyboard and constantly sprints at all times, with a terrible mic that scuffs up and alerts dogs. Has 50/50 chance of kill a monster in a fight

- Sy has collected at least 9 different masks on the ship, hiding them in key locations, as well as plans to use whoopie cushions to attract the dogs. Will vote for the ship to leave early when he dies

More Things That Happened In Pale

A dog dies and it's so sad that the moon starts bleeding.

An army of creepy children stand watch as security for town council meetings.

A memory wipe is performed with a very passionate kiss, while the memory-wiper's wife watches on.

An important character is a mysterious faceless woman who is always obscured by her surroundings, even in plain sight, so that people can't see her non-face.

A self-aware crazy woman follows goblins to a high school hockey game, then sees her neighbors and has to make small talk with them about the weather.

To keep a murder witness from talking, a man takes her kidney damage (not cures, takes).

I have misled you again, this is just the prologue.

...Are there any Wildbow serials where "yeet the baby" isn't applicable wisdom?
