Shoutout To The Maned Wolf, Which Is Technically Neither Wolf Nor Fox But Has Its Own Genus Called Chrysocyon!

I'm always a little sad that Evelyn so rarely gets to win her battles, so I really do hope she gets to fuck Edward's grinning demon wife

chicken little vision vs reality

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

noelle is the best character ever. she’s socially anxious/shy. she’s a gamer and has a cringe blog where she posts all about obscure video game glitches and easter eggs and stuff. she’s a lesbian. her family is all sorts of tragic and fucked. she’s got angel imagery/symbolism going on. she’s got a WHOLE thing going on with her old childhood friend (not elaborating lest this post be 5000 words). her outfits are cute. you can make her murder countless people including one of her best friends and then psychologically damage her even further by proving it wasnt all a dream like she thought it was. she’s transgender. she’s an anthropomorphic deer. she is my beautiful daughter and she is cringe and weird and I LOVE HER! 

RIP Victoria Dallon you would have loved that stupid blue cop from League Of Legends

there is a wasp called the "beewolf" that hunts bees

(theres over a hundred species of beewolf actually)

I remember reading beewolf epic poem in college and he did do all of that

They make me insane.

despite it all worm is good and understands trauma like basically nothing else i've ever read
