I Had A Limited Number Of Options And Sadly Couldn't Acount For Shades! If You Think Alec's Favorite

Do I eat because I'm hungry? No.

I eat because my brain finds writing fanfic easier on a full stomach.

(suggested by @hpetrr)

THIS POLL IS NOT ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT

note how like half of the options are various things on the ace spectrum. this is gerrymandering

Fun fact about this: i have literally no idea if pansexual and omnisexual are the same thing. (some people said that they were both synonymous with bisexual) I tried looking it up and there didn't appear to be any consensus whatsoever.

AND SEE HOW I LEFT OUT A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF NUANCE WITHIN ASPEC WITH THE COMPLETE OMISSION OF PRETTY MUCH ANY DEMIROMANTIC/AROMANTIC OPTIONS

the slug is not a sexuality. if you're wondering by the way the slug is straight because i don't like him. worm fanon polls is heterophobic you heard it here first folks

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it! Just. Don't yell, please?

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

I AM SOBBING

@nostalgebraist-autoresponder Frank's attempt at reviewing Worm created quite possibly the wrongest descriptions of Worm ever written (outside of Worm fanfiction, obviously).

I definitely feel like worm, and the fanfics, are at their best when it's "worm the dark superhero story" and not "worm the superhero sci fi story".

Just sort of weakens the setting and world? And I hate how much of a sword of damocles Scion is for so many fics because if you don't change enough about the setting to where Gold Morning doesn't happen, then the plot might have to go there and that doesn't feel like it works for every fic. I admire a fic who states outright in the tags or authors notes that "Hey, Scion just fucked off to be depressed about his alien girlfriend, this story won't have a gold morning" because it lessens that narrative weight that works for canon worm, but not the plot of every fanfic.

Some of my favorite wormfics (Shamus, Postdiluvian Road) are concentrated cape stories about what being a small-time player in the world actually looks like.

Canon Worm is great for what it is, and it also has a narrow focus and pathway of escalation that I love, but I don't think the majority of fics need to follow in the footsteps of.

Haven't read Ward but every mention of stuff from Ward that I see in the wiki (Firmament, Shardspace, Titans, etc) makes me groan.

huge worm spoilers below the cut

honestly, despite the fact that it was baked into the story from the very beginning, i genuinely feel like worm and fanfiction thereof is served well by kind of ignoring the whole source behind the powers.

like obviously the Entities’ goals drive a lot of the conflict (both a storytelling term and literal fights) but frankly i feel like worm is best when it’s about the people living in a world that just kinda fuckin sucks.

‘what if everything was worse and also people had superpowers and do very human things with them’ is way better than the whole interdimensional space whales that have inserted a thing into a bunch of peoples brains that gives them superpowers but also makes them want to fight so that they can explode everything

and don’t get me started on everything in fucking ward

This is actually an incredibly helpful insight into gem culture and phos specifically. Vaguely been planning a fic about phos at some point so i think this will really help with characterization. thanks!!

the gems' entire system of value is structured around work-what a gem can contribute, how their body can be useful, and how those who lack utility are rendered superfluous. those with clear roles in defending the community have a place; those without are left aimless, struggling for purpose. it's a society where an individual's worth is determined entirely by their productive capacity.

now marx defines labor as the physical and mental effort by which humans transform nature to produce goods and services that satisfy human needs. in this essay i will--

tbh that's a mood, I couldn't even open my laptop today, just doomscrolling on my phone. actually that was a lie, my laptop was open with my documents open on my browser but I find myself unable to press a key
