Kind of building off of Silvia Norton's post from a while back but if I read another line in a wormfic where an authority figure or like, actual serious adult individual mentions the "unwritten rules" as a hard concept that everyone just *knows* I am going to bash my face into a wall.
It's literally just how Tattletale described the social contract of capes to Taylor, it stops being "unwritten" or just a polite fiction when people like Piggot or Coil or whomever actually treat them as something tangible.
"But ma'am/sir, wouldn't that be breaking the Unwritten Rules?" Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut-
Losing my mind
I mean, Taylor straight up says it's a reference she isn't aware of? I don't know how it can be interpreted as Taylor getting the joke
How taylor got that was a previous poll of mine, but a lot of people didn't seem to think she got the reference at all! So now we're asking if she even did!
Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.
That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.
glad I took some time on a monday night to use the discovery setting on my pandora station
music I like: ^
I don't agree with it or anything, but I'm surprised Sophia/Taylor isn't up there considering how many fics are made of that pairing. I've not read any, but still, if we're talking fanfic then that one has more rep than half of these combined.
note that this poll is meant to represent romantic (though not necessarily sexual) ships, not your favorite QPR. If you like, say, Aisha/Alec or Lisa/Taylor as strictly platonic partners, but only in this scenario, then please don't pick it as your favorite ship!
Other less popular taylor ships (like Taylor/Alec) are not included in this poll, I will be posting a second poll with Taylor-specific ships later
make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!
fuck my wormpolls are queued out to april
I wish this had an explicitly "atheist" option. She never gave off any big religious vibes, and I think the setting in general is pretty a-religious due to the whole Scion+superpowers thing that *some* religions have tried to weaponize, but broadly religion is in decline on Earth Bet. Like, her mom was a hardcore feminist and her dad is a union bigwig, I dunno if church was a big thing in the Hebert household.
Tell me what you think and why you think it!
Okay I tried it with Bonesaw and stumped him too, no way in hell was he getting Shatterbird
i like worm characters so obscure that i consistently stump the akinator
I did a double-take while scrolling earlier and checked a post I scrolled by because it surprised me and now tumblr thinks I'm into women wearing mid-thigh high heel leather boots
The curse...
i use tumblr and ao3 quite often, and while they aren't in the same category of website really, one being social media platform while the other is an archive of internet fiction, using tumblr makes me appreciate ao3's lack of algorithm every day.
sometimes i'll zone out while using tumblr, staring at something on my desk or just getting lost in thought, but i had stopped scrolling on like, an nsfw post or whatever so now the hyperactive tumblr algo assumes that that is the only content i want to see so thats what my feed becomes. im very glad ao3 doesnt do this, i can ponder a fic and consider it heavily and when i scroll to look at the next one, it is not at all just recommending similar content to the one i happened to be staring at last.
I know they're like, necessary for the economy to function, but who let the trains run at "fanfic reading hour" (3am) don't they know people are busy?
I figure it's a criticism of people who think that Taylor "bullied" either of them, that part of the post reads more---to me---as asking people to have reading comprehension and better takes
Listening to some podcasts it's wild to me to hear people bearing down some of Taylor's actions like she wasn't doing those things to ACTUAL DESPICABLE PEOPLE.
I just hate the purity culture of it all, like, are yall really criticizing someone for not going easy on NAZIS, SLAVE OWNERS, ABUSERS etc??? Boohoo, poor them
"Aw, Taylor rotted Lung's junk off / took his eyes out" GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE, it's ON TEXT that this asshole enslaving a bunch of vulnerable people and putting them to absurd hardships.
"Aw, she cut Bakuda's toes" Toes she was using to MELT FUCKING PEOPLE.
"Aw, she bullied Panacea and Glory Girl" ............. please --'
"Aw, she punched Emma in the mall, not very hero of her" She should've done worse to this bitch who caused her fucking trigger
FUCK YALL, honestly
Victims are ALWAYS blamed for reacting, for doing something
Taylor isn't any less of a hero for not taking it easy on DESPICABLE PEOPLE.
She's only less of a hero when going hard on a bunch of people who didn't deserve it, but people bitch and moan way more about her actions towards WORSE VILLAINS than innocents. Seriously, annoying as SHIT
