For R/wormmemes’ Monthly Prompt, “Trolley Problems.” I Was Already Halfway Done Drawing The Comic

Some things that are great about Pale, if you're unsure about reading it:

A murder mystery in which none of the suspects can lie, and yet half-truths and sneakiness make this absolutely riveting to investigate

A social justice story about working your damndest to make a better world and a serious examination of what it really takes to change the system

Three teenage protagonists who are all incredible people in rich and diverse ways - seriously, I want to be each of them when I grow up

Teens do extremely cool magic stunts

Characters who you come to appreciate on a deeper level than arguably any other work

Number one source for opossum appreciation and memes

A magic system so good it doesn't even feel fair to call it a magic system; this is just what magic is to me now

Arguably the best introduction to that system and universe because it makes it playful and fun (and doesn't spoil anything from other stories in that universe)

So many different kinds of magic!

Robust enough to accommodate any fantasy/horror/urban fantasy plotline

So many well-classified types of guy. Like, you've been through a million groundhog day style loops? That's a type of guy

Feels like a courtroom drama half the time

Maybe the best take on the "is it bad for kids to be protagonists?" question ever

The coolest trans guy in the world

Gay shipping wars (takes a while to get there, but so worth it)

Will probably make you cry

There are podcasts! Pale Reflections, which comments on Pale, and Pale In Comparison, which compares Pale to Pact, the other big work set in this universe. Both are very good and will 100% enhance your understanding of the story's themes

Judicial extrajudicial judicial murder (Is it good? Bad? Discuss)

In a sense that is totally unfair to both parties but nonetheless feels inescapably true, the antagonist is Taylor from Worm

kick the jesse :)

hello people who follow me whose interests presumably align with my own, i would like to strongly recommend to you the serial web novel Katalepsis. there's a plot summary on that linked page if you want to take a peek, as well as content warnings, but you can also start blind here (unless you feel like you need to take a glance over the content warnings!)

very nice blend of cosmic horror/urban fantasy with a dash of lesbian romance (there are a lot of lesbians in this), generally a fun story and very worth a read. the pacing is probably the best part, i managed to carve through this one pretty quick despite its volume because it doesn't feel like a lot to read in practice. so very enthralling and with worldbuilding that has me very intrigued

Pale 1.7

It's so fucked up we never got a ward beach episode

I want a bigger pale fandom (I want my friends to read pale and the fandom to stop mainly using reddit)

i'm playing fear and hunger

reading nona the ninth and shaking my head the whole time so the people on the train know i don't agree with building cow walls

Levi is unaffected by your intimidation
