Note that this is Taylor as Skitter, not as Weaver or Khepri, since those are different cape identities. I will post polls about her as Weaver and Khepri later

got that "bursting with thoughts and energy with 0 social outlets" combined with the "too scared and nervous to talk to people casually or make friends"

Chevalier is the head of the Philadelphia Protectorate and Brockton Bay is canonically north of Boston

I didn't initially want to do this, since other people have done perfectly adequate and highly popular "where is brockton bay" polls before, but I decided i simply had to have it on my blog:

look, i try really hard not to, you know, like, put my finger on the scales, or whatever, but why would you pick Vermont? It's landlocked.

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

Denial and Decay are not options. you know full well that in this case "state" refers only to the constituent political entity and element of the organizational structure of the united states of america, buster. You better quit it or i'm gonna get mad.

What if BB was just on Lake Champlain and Leviathan was actually just Champ, and the other incidents around the world were a separate monster, what then

Victoria Dallon Halloween:

"uuuuhh, Console? Got some Blaster-2s here, some kinda splash attack power harassing houses in the neighborhood. Think I'm gonna break half of their bones and throw em in forever jail, over and out"

I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all

a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)

so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

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.

is cherish in my neighborhood, why did I wake up this morning with a slaughterhouse nine au in my head??? brain, explain

I want to do a series of polls, and for this I need information. Reblog if you consider yourself a part of wormblr.

So I got my father to watch Frieren, which is cool, it's neat he will watch anime on Netflix at 50+ years old.

But like, he came to talk to me and he was like "so I watching that frieren show, and it's like, about all this emotion and bonds and friendships that mean something and learning how to value your relationships in the moment, isn't that something you want for yourself? To find people to spend your life with?"

And I said "nah not really" and he was incredulous

Waking up a sister

Only wrote like, 2000 words over the last 10 hours, but that was all refining and adding to an outline so whatever! If I was writing a chapter at the moment I would probably be a lil disappointed with it, but I'm making an outline and those 2k words translates to 30 different scenes/events in the fic and progressed the plot through another month and a half.

So I'm happy :D

BUT

The main characters from the last tv show you watched live with you?

Writing Advice for Brainstorming

Mix genres and time periods: Experiment by combining elements from different eras or genres to create unique settings and narratives.

Use "what if" scenarios: Pose unexpected questions (e.g., What if time travel operated on emotions rather than mechanics?) to spark novel ideas.

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.

Back at it again with another Parahumans fandom question.

Just thinking about something for a fic I'm writing that sort of applies to the setting at large, did Columbine happen on Earth Bet? Because from what I can tell it didn't. The Columbine shooting was the catalyst in the US to get increased surveillance and security in the school system which led to all the security cameras in the hallways and on campus in schools of all levels.

The reason I think this didn't happen on Earth Bet because if schools like Winslow were using security cameras then the extensive bullying campaign Taylor was on the receiving end of would have stopped way sooner. But even if it hadn't, she was shoved into her locker, objectively, and hallways in schools are generally where cameras are most frequently, so if there was a camera in that hallway then it could've been easily determined who put Taylor into the hospital. I guess the fact that that doesn't happen means that either 1. School shootings such as Columbine never got national attention like in our timeline or 2. Winslow is so corrupt and underfunded that it can't meet DOE security standards in a public high school.

I know there's some fanon about how corrupt and evil Principal Blackwell is, but security cameras provide a certain objectivity to events that theoretically should have been easy to obtain during the investigation as to what happened? I dunno, thoughts just spiraling.

all of these options (excluding the explicit atheist ones, and possibly modern pagan ones) imply a significant detachment from serious religious beliefs, meaning she is functionally atheist/agnostic/theist(?) but was raised with nominal observance for the practices of whatever religion.

Note: Yule is a germanic pagan religion that is observed during the same part of the year as christmas, it was largely defunct but experienced a modern revival as either a secular, christmas-adjacent holiday, or an explicitly pagan celebration.

Slaughter house 9 dating sim, it would be a basic visual novel. I’m not sure if you should play a normal person or some newly trigged Parahuman. It’s either super cutesy sort of graphic horror, or leaning into the full horror that is the slaughter house nine. Who would y’all date? The dlc will include old slaughter house members

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
