#some seriousness in this chapter though

[cairavende]

Worm Arc 11 Interludes thoughts:

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Ok. Just in order I think. Sorry for the chaos.

Started off with puppies. I was happy.

Then the puppies started getting a little more violent than needed. I was less happy.

Then Victoria got clowned on a little and I was little bit more happy.

Then the unkillable naked zebra lady showed up everything kinda went downhill. For everyone.

Bitch do not join the supervillain serial killer group, please and thank you.

Seriously though, The Siberian is a bit scary. Just, completely invincible as far as anyone can tell. And super strong.

Theo is having a bad day. And unless someone takes care of Jack Slash for him he's gonna have a bad few years.

Jack Slash is such a poser oh my god. Dude. Come one. You aren't all that.

Also. Jack. Do not toss a loaded baby! That baby had a full diaper. You toss that baby and you are liable to have a containment breach. Speaking from experience, you do not want a containment breach. (Also just don't throw babies of course.)

I hope Theo gets cool powers and is able to become a super amazing hero like he dreams of. On the plus side, probably gonna be lots of opportunities for trigger events coming up. On the minus side, he didn't trigger when Jack Slash was planning on killing him so I don't know if he's gonna be able to.

They were obviously going to go for Labyrinth. She has such amazing powers for mass terror. Though I guess Burnscar never tried to actually recruit her. I assume that was the plan though.

Also Burnscar needs to stop excusing her actions. Just be evil or don't be evil. You don't get to be evil and say it's not your fault (that sure will come up again in these interludes).

I fucking LOVED the description of how Labyrinths powers work. Just the details of everything. So good!

Fucking Colin. Of course they had to go for you. Why can't you just go away and leave my robot daughter alone?

Mannequin is fucking WILD. Like, god damn. Those are sure choices you made. Helps you be creepy as shit though. And get through air vents.

Mannequin writing out "U ME" to Pocketknife Man by laying keyboard keys down on the table one at a time has cursed meet-cute energy.

In the end, Colin survives cause my robot daughter saves him. And I guess she's gonna tell him the truth about being an AI. Fiiiiiiine. I will be polite to Colin if he comes over to dinner. He still needs to apologize to my other daughter though.

Also I'm sure glad the Slaughterhouse Nine won't have any use for the magic pocketknife that can cut through anything that Mannequin took. No worries at all I'm sure. It won't do jack shit for them. Might as well just slash the idea and toss the knife out.

Cool. Some Nazis died. That's great!

Not enough though. Disappointed in Shatterbird.

But if one good thing can come of this whole Slaughterhouse Nine thing, maybe Hookwolf can die. I'm not holding my breath though.

Shatterbird has a very interesting power set. Being specifically glass focused like that. Definitely can see how she would terrorize a city.

Dinah PoV. DINAH POV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok well first off, I obviously hated Coil for Dinah already. Enough that I don't really know if the Dinah PoV can technically make me hate him more. But that said, I hate him more. WTF.

The description of her power was so NEAT though! Had a minor moment of "oh hey this paragraph of this precog talking about her power works inside her head is an almost perfect description of how my brain works" which was wild. I don't actually get to see the future though, which is a major difference.

She can actually just full blow see a possible future holy shit! Wow. Like it hurts and she hates it but it's still crazy.

Also I guessed that Crawler was going to come for Traveler in a Vault (that is Noelle's cape name until I am told different) after the Bitch interlude. I was very happy I got that right since I really knew almost nothing about either.

So Crawler just basically can't die and gets stronger every time he gets hurt. I wonder how long it will take him to reach Endbringer level power?

And Traveler in a Vault is just a large monster that is always hungry and can be driven to the point of eating people. That sucks a lot for her.

Also Leviathan came after her too huh? Well that's probably fine and won't matter in the future.

Regent's sister is worse than he is. That's impressive! Like, not good impressive. But impressive.

Getting real close to the "can't exist" physic power set. I guess it's not quite it though.

She should keep a better eye on her phone battery.

AMY DALLON! I knew it would be you.

I knew you were destined to be a tragedy from the moment I met you. You were always going to become a villain. So once I knew the Nine were recruiting it was a guarantee that you'd be recruited.

Specifically, that you'd be recruited by Bonesaw. She is an artist and obviously she is obsessed over the art you could make together.

Holy shit though that chapter.

Lets see. FUCK CAROL. Victoria gets some excuses, she's a kid, she's following her mom's example, etc. But FUCK CAROL. You are partially responsible for what Amy is about to become.

Despite being terrified, Amy seemed to have a dark fascination with everything Bonesaw was doing and saying. Really listened as Bonesaw explained things.

The more detailed view of what Amy's power does is crazy. She really can do just about anything to someone.

“Why not fix your dad?” is where Bonesaw won. It's about 3/5 of the way through the chapter. And she won at that point. That was the killing blow. The rest of the chapter, the remaining 3.5k or so words, is watching Amy bleed out to drive the point home. It is Panacea's death monologue. It is beautiful and tragic and amazing.

All that said, since she is losing anyway, is it bad for me to want more of Bonesaw's notes? SHE HAS LORE! GIVE IT TO ME!

Dad at least seems pretty good. He made the perfect response after getting healed. Unfortunately she was already gone.

AND THERE IT IS. THERE IS THE THAT FINAL STEP. Fucking rewire your adopted sisters mind to have romantic feelings for you. No you don't get to say it was an accident! You chose to do it. Holy shit Amy. You are going to be an amazing (terrifying) villain.

Callback to Burnscar and blaming her power for her actions.

If Worm was a Disney movie Amy would end up with the best song, 100%. Hellfire or similar levels.

#Worm #Worm Web Serial #Parahumans #Cairavende reads Worm #The Slaughterhouse Nine #Panacea #Amy Dallon #Holy shit there was so much in those interludes! #Bonesaw #Jack Slash #Crawler #Shatterbird #Burnscar #Mannequin #The Siberian #Cherish #The Amy chapter was just so good. The fact that I basically knew it was coming and knew what was going to happen just made it even better. #New Wave was already considering disbanding. I assume after this they crack like an egg. #I'm a little worried about some of my babies though. Bitch. Labyrinth. Hmm I guess mostly just them. #Seriously though the Amy chapter is possibly my favorite chapter in Worm so far. Definitely favorite to live read. #Ever live read Worm so fucking well that a cute girl admits to having a crush on you? #Though despite what the Nine said I don't expect everyone who doesn't join to die. Some probably will die though. #And all that information to process. Stuff from Dinah and stuff from Bonesaw and stuff from Labyrinth! #Oh and I'm sure it's nothing to worry about that Dinah said 2 years is when Jack Slash might trigger the end of the world #and 2 years is the timeline Jack gave Theo to get ready to fight him #I'm sure that won't mean anything. #Oh god and Traveler in a Vault (TiaV)! She is more than just a monster. She is important and I want to know more!!!!!!!!!

if you're reading canto v and wondered 'huh, ishmael and queequeg have pretty strong thing going on between them. i wonder if they played up gay subtext present in the original novel', you'd actually be wrong! limbus actually dumbs down the intimacy of their relationship a lot.

and by a lot, i mean a lot. these quotes are direct from moby dick.

Chapter 4, The Counterpane:

Upon waking next morning about daylight, I found Queequeg's arm thrown over me in the most loving and affectionate manner. You had almost thought I had been his wife. [...] At length, by dint of much wriggling, and loud and incessant expostulations upon the unbecomingness of his hugging a fellow male in that matrimonial sort of style,

Chapter 10, A Bosom Friend:

He seemed to take to me quite as naturally and unbiddenly as I to him; and when our smoke was over, he pressed his forehead against mine, clasped me round the waist, and said that henceforth we were married; meaning, in his country's phrase, that we were bosom friends; he would gladly die for me, if need should be. [...] How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning. Thus, then, in our hearts' honeymoon, lay I and Queequeg—a cosy, loving pair.

Chapter 11, Nightgown:

Be it said, that though I had felt such a strong repugnance to his [Queequeg's] smoking in the bed the night before, yet see how elastic our stiff prejudices grow when love once comes to bend them.

there's some really interesting analysis of their relationship by richard norton here:

In the opening pages of Melville's greatest novel, Moby Dick (1851), the narrator Ishmael and the cannibal Queequeg go to bed together, and symbolically marry and even give birth. The bed in which they sleep at the Spouter Inn is the landlord's marriage bed; Ishmael plays the role of the terrified coy maiden, waiting in bed while the bridegroom gets undressed: "This accomplished, however, he turned round – when, good heaven, what a sight!" Queequeg springs under the covers with his tomahawk (!) and Ishmael "shrieks." There is some "kicking about" and Queequeg begins "feeling" Ishmael. Next morning Ishmael awakes with "Queequeg's arm thrown over me in the most loving and affectionate manner. You had almost thought I had been his wife." Melville emphasizes the point by referring again to "his bridegroom clasp" and "hugging a fellow male in that matrimonial sort of style." And they even bear offspring, rather more quickly than heterosexuals: "Throwing aside the quilt, there lay the tomahawk sleeping by the savage's side, as if it were a hatchet-faced baby."

sadly, queequeg (and his relationship with ishmael) gets sidelined in the novel once ahab makes his appearance, but he still serves an important symbolic role.

#renaming the kjh misogyny dungeon to the kjh misogyny and homophobia dungeon #limbus company #seriously though a game published in 2023 has significantly less gay stuff than its original novel written 170 years ago. boggles the mind. #if you want some queer lit analysis: hero captain and stranger by robert martin has a chapter devoted to moby dick #anways that's why if i find kjh i'm challenging him to a fistfight. winner gets his company

Han Sooyoung who had to endure the time frame of 50 years – could she still maintain a normal, functioning mind? Was she able to maintain the ego of the Han Sooyoung that I know of? "This is all because I made a deal with the 'King of Reincarnators'." ⸢It 'd b een be tter if I sac rificed myself ins tead.⸥ I turned my head to discover Yoo Joonghyuk glaring at me as if I was a pathetic fool. His lips bobbed up and down several times, but then, squeezed his eyes shut as if to suppress his anger and leaned his back against the couch's cushions. "I'd like to say something, but it seems that someone else will do that for me, instead." "What?" Right in that next instant, fiery pain shot up from the back of my head.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Joonghyuk just swallowing his anger and letting Sooyoung smack Dokja upside the head and yell at him while he just sits there and silently seethes is everything I never knew I wanted.

Ughhhh, and Dokja once again thinking that it should have been him to sacrifice himself. Dokja, you have such a "sacrificing yourself for other people" thing going on, and I know that cannot be healthy mindset as noble as it may be.

Not that Joonghyuk's plan was stellar in comparison. Joonghyuk, my guy, you are hundreds of years old and Dokja is like...thirty. And completely and utterly softhearted. As you well know. Please forgive him if he rejects the "let's spend who knows how long in this roleplay scenario orchestrating the perfect succession while everyone's minds continue to degrade" plan.

Sooyoung literally said that these idiots were gonna mess everything up and she was right. I swear, she can't take these two anywhere.

These three mean everything to me, guys. There is currently nothing I want more from ORV than to see them interact as much as humanly possible.

#orv #orv spoilers #orv liveblog #omniscient reader's viewpoint #orv novel chapter 380 #kdj #yjh #hsy #seriously I'm kind of joking but also really not #I love seeing the three of them come together from their different perspectives and ORV even pointing this out - reader writer protagonist #and now that they all have their own versions of 'future knowledge' and there's no secrets as to them having it #I'm looking forward to some of the schemes that might be cooked up #or in the case of this scenario no scheme and them deciding to just follow yjh's idea of fighting now that that's the best option #...though I still do worry a teeny tiny bit that dokja will end up feeling useless since he's already thought that his companions #would be better off without him or that they're doing well when he's not around...if he starts to think 'yjh & hsy have got this covered'..

Writing fanfiction on the computer is so much more fun to me because from afar, it looks like I’m working on something very insightful and important when I’m actually just writing the fluffiest scenes known to man kind

HiMERU was fuming when he walked into the church. His brother was just sitting here this whole time, not even bothering to look for him or do anything useful? HiMERU needed to stay calm. His fists were clenched at his side. He walked up to Tatsumi Kazehaya and asked him if he had been keeping Kaname against his will, which was met with a negative response. Kaname had stayed of his own free will. I would never force someone to stay, Tatsumi said.

HiMERU stormed over to his brother seated in one of the pews next to Amagi’s younger brother and the other child he couldn’t be bothered to learn the name of and grabbed him by the wrist. Let’s go, there’s no reason for you to stay here. Kaname resisted, though HiMERU was stronger and continued walking out to where Rinne, Niki and Kohaku were sitting outside. 

Onii-chan I can’t leave. That priest said he wasn’t forcing you to stay so we’re going. He isn’t but--onii-chan please just listen-- 

HiMERU took one step outside the chapel, Kaname’s hand breaching the doorway, still in his grasp. It suddenly felt… 

He looked down and saw it begin to rot away. 

I can’t leave, Onii-chan.

I’ve heard you mention a few theories involving something demonic and Nevin. Care to elaborate?

one day i will post me and @ups3tti ‘s theory doc & slides but for now it will stay a work in progress

#i will not elaborate off of my own whim. but i will be updating the theory doc shortly #seriously though the biggest hints towards this theory are A) the party chapter B) some things mentioned by Pink Sephiroth (gregory) #and C) some stuff ive talked to ky about on discord #chrisdom #doodles

...damnit. Why did I end up getting attached to Citrus? Lhclhfo

#will say. the anime is way more non con and uncomfortable than the manga #i do appreciate that these disaster lesbians later find solace and stability. but you dont get to see a lot of that in the anime as #they only start dating at the end of the anime. aka manga chapter 16. the manga continues for 41 chaperts iirc. #and then there's also citrus+. the step sisters thing did also throw me off at first #however they only met at the start of the series when yuzu transfers into the all girl aihara academy #and they only learned they had become step siblings when they both come home to their mom #and she reveals that she (yuzus bio mom) married Mei's bio dad #seriously though. the anime went overboard and extended some of the assault sequences as fan service and just yikes. #they were there in the manga to a lesser extent. for instance the first kiss lasted like 3 panels and a two page spread. #while in the anime it was like 40ish seconds (i went and checked the timecode after reading the original chapter to compare) #oh well #at least it wasnt the first yuri media i encountered? still not entirely sure why ive officially gained citrus brainrot for a week now tho #citrus #meiyuzu #saburouta #if you do plan to check out the series. read the manga unless you're comfortable with 'assault as fan service' #...i will admit to kicking my feet. squeeing. and squeezing a pillow like a schoolgirl reading some of it tho hkrkbfhkd

'It’s like the sun has entered Gary’s very soul. Every part of him burns with those words as they pound with each beat of his heart. Engulfing his body in divine flames, he is consumed entirely. This is all that exists.' - Chapter 1 of Better the Devil You Know

finished editing the first chapter of a project I wrote 2 years ago and plan to finish in November. it's a wordy, indulgent fic about my two favorite traumatized men from a campaign long, long ago.

it is explicit in nature, though the first chapter is mild, the content warnings are marked in the tags.

#[static] #wolf writes #dnd fanfiction #18+ Seriously please and thank you #I've been wanting to select some fics to work on for NaNoWriMo since those have been nagging at the back of my mind for some time #so I thought it'd be a good time to dust this chapter off and get excited to write and complete the other two #and yes i know the difference between incubi and succubi #oskov's got only succubi on that side of the family tree so though he's mostly a human man he's got a quarter infernal from his mom's side #it's all just fantasy fun #not my go to kind of writing but it was interesting to do! i do prefer eerie horror and spooky stories which i have plans for in the future #fingers crossed the link works it is giving me trouble on my computer but i can access it on mobile just fine

[oh-meow-swirls]

it's the most filler chapter of all yo-kai watch filler chapters but anyways. here's chapter 2 of my 2 rewrite. this chapter is so useless plot-wise but it was fun to write still-

#puppy rambles #puppy's yw rewrite #yo-kai watch #yokai watch #youkai watch #ykw #yw #seriously though this chapter's only point is so you don't immediately get a d-rank watch in the second chapter- #which i sort of get but. kinda useless #also you ever think about how the only one of nate/katie's friends who's relevant in any of 2's chapters is eddie #cuz i do. they never hang out with katie/nate or bear other than briefly in the first chapter #and also during some quests and very VERY briefly at the start of chapter 8- #no nate and katie being besties for me </3 oh well at least we have katie whisper n jibanyan bestie moments-

[mkstrigidae]

Apparently, the solution to my APWH writer's block was just opening up a new word document and rewriting the whole damn next chapter.

#I've been going back and doing some minor edits to older chapters recently- it's also been a necessary reread #because there are a lot of fucking details in this story #and it feels like i'm doing that thing where you spin plates on a stick but i'm spinning like 200 plates #just apwh things #this isn't just me being like 'i'm making progress again!!1!' for the thirty-fifth time either #like I have a full complete draft of chapter 16 that I'm about to start revising #shit's getting chaotic #there's not so much a chekov's gun as there is a chekov's whoopie cushion #i.e. a previously mentioned aspect of life at winterfell causes an objectively silly situation #but because this is me we're talking about- that silly situation quickly brings a lot of simmering things to the surface #there are a couple of fun mya conversations though which is good #sansa and mya's conversations are some of my favorites to write #because they're the only scenes where sansa isn't constantly second-guessing herself and kind of just is herself #the outside world is beginning to encroach on the Winterfell Bubble™ and ho boy is it a doozy #seriously i rewrote this entire fucking chapter and i'm so mad that THAT's what it took #anyways am definitely in the market for some beta-ing soon #and kind of need someone to bounce ideas off of because i am desperately trying to figure out #how to commit a hypothetical crime #and how to solve a cold case #send help lmao #I am prob going to make everyone extremely angry in a few chapters so enjoy the Winterfell Bubble™ while it lasts

October this year has felt kind of vague and adrift for me, no real festive spirit to speak of--or at least nowhere near how last year felt, when it was Year of the Vampire and all.

BUT I am remedying that now with a combined pincer attack of 1) relistening to Night Vale from the beginning on my commute to work and 2) rereading Warm Bodies on my breaks/in my spare time. Things are getting increasingly spooky up in here

#consider this a heartfelt rec for both of the series mentioned #for anyone who might not know: Welcome to Night Vale is a fiction podcast in the form of a community radio show #the host of the show gives news and commentary on the happenings in a small desert town #... a small town that's regularly besieged by cosmic horrors and shadowy government agencies and various other monsters and phenomena #it's extremely chill and relaxing! which is funny to say because it sounds like a joke but it's actually true. #the residents of the town are used to all of this strangeness so it's described in the same tone as the results of the schoolboard election #seriously even ten years later this podcast has me giggling like a maniac every few minutes #it's very funny and heartfelt despite ostensibly being horror themed #and as for the other series--Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion is SUUUUCH an underrated book series #the tl;dr is it's a zombie-human love story #there was a movie based on the first book several years back and it was pretty good imo #it plays up the romcom aspect a lot. which is fair but not EXACTLY accurate to the book. as you might imagine lol #the actual book though??? god I'm only two chapters in on my re-read and I had underestimated how much I love the way this protag thinks #it is HEAVY on philosophical discussion and even digs into some societal/political issues later on #and the supernatural/sci-fi worldbuilding is so incredible that tbh I can barely take any other type of zombies seriously after reading thi #it's just. it's good. check it out if you're not afraid of a little gore in your star-crossed romance #(I'd say more but I don't want to spoil the end of the first book! it's a fairly predictable twist but it still feels so good)

the damn things overlap, ch4 - transfiguration

chapter summary: valentine does a little hardware hacking and is unhappily reminded of her own corporeal form

“Alright,” she said, when she’d finished. “Hold still. This is going to sting.”

She propped herself up on one knee to get better leverage, before she gave the command to eject his board. Goro flinched, and she patted his tense shoulder sympathetically. Hot swapping felt like getting kicked in the back of the head.

Still, she couldn’t help but take a moment to marvel at the sight of it as she tugged it free, feel a shiver of jealousy at the elegance of the red and black silkscreen, at the intimacy of holding the warm circuitry of an organ in her bare hand.

“Ready?” She braced against his shoulder. “Here we go.”

Her old deck slotted in perfectly, and with a little force, anchored itself in a satisfying click. She connected her jack from her right wrist into the exposed port at the back of his head. They were truly, completely entangled now, but until she could verify everything was working she was loathe to prematurely disconnect the rest of the mess, after the work it had taken to get them all in place.

But the deck booted successfully in the first try, and she felt a sudden burst of mortification as the custom banner she’d created scrolled past her view. Goro made a low noise.

“Higurashi,” he murmured. “The sound of summer. This is your symbol?”

“No, it’s uh–“ She bit her lip, tasted blood again. “It’s a joke. There are cicadas out east, that spend seventeen years underground before they finally emerge. Took me a while to get this thing working.”

you know that thing where you go outside for the first time in several weeks and the sunlight hits your face and you go to a coffee shop and suddenly life feels manageable again?

yeah

I beat Chapter 23 of Engage (spoilers ahoy)

I hate hate HATE the fact that Zephia’s more compelling of a character than like half the fucking playable cast! Like shit, I knew she was a bad bitch this whole time, capable of just about cutting out anyone’s throat at the slightest inconvenience, but the writing of her character really did convince me that in some twisted way, she truly does love the other Hounds. And that last convo between her and Veyle, and then between her and Griss (Who had a fantastic fucking exchange by the way) really just solidified what it was that made her choose to call her and the other Hounds a “family”. Like it wasn’t just some “dommy mommy” fan-service, she really did like seeing herself as mother to the other Hounds and due to just being a dragon saw a much harsher purview of the way family dynamics worked.

Fuck, dude, I kind of hope they’ll do some DLC a la Awakening’s Spotpasses and make her playable somehow. I know everyone hated the baddies becoming Spotpass characters (and for Walhart I agree it was stupid), but if Gangrel, Aversa, and Yen’Fay could get mountains of lore added to their character by being playable, Zephia would get the same. All I know is that when she gets added to Heroes, I will absolutely do a build/merge project on her. ALSO, ALSO... I’m super pissed that we didn’t get to see a Dragon form for her, since she’s supposedly a dragon. We were CHEATED!

#Fire Emblem Engage spoilers #Fire Emblem Engage #spoilers #Seriously though the moment I first saw her character I was like 'Oh damn I'm gonna like her' and sure enough I was right #She's so fucking awful but this final chapter really just drives home some sad messed up kind of sympathy for her
