I do genuinely love Verona actually. She thinks she’s way smarter than she is and is unfailingly arrogant about it. She loves doing the practitioner doublespeak lying-while-telling-the-truth thing so much that it actively is a detriment to her life and yet she continues. Out of the trio she’s the one who just genuinely loves learning for the sake of learning and magic for the sake of magic more, which makes her fascinating to read because she’s so interested in everything thats going on (except when she isn’t. Either 110% interest or 0%). She never compromises on what she wants out of life no matter what. Her neuros have diverged significantly and she truly could not give two shits. She only feels negative emotions once a week and it physically cripples her. I have so many thoughts and yet can articulate none. Maybe one day. Anyway absolutely the favourite of the three and honestly she’s the one who makes the most sense to me. I can fully see where she’s coming from and where she’s going. Absolute rejection of humanity girlboss
i don’t know how to politely put this but i’m not gonna read the ~3 million words and counting web serial
Number one takeaway I had from worm was... damn these bitches gay
concept: tristan decides to teach rain how to cook. rain is wary but the first attempts go well so they escalate to pan frying. tristan takes his eyes off the stove for two seconds and rain manages to start a fire. tristan, panicking, immediately switches to byron, who dumps a bunch of water on it (making it TEN TIMES WORSE). byron’s just like “fuck it, i’m out” and switches back to tristan and suddenly the entire kitchen is encased in stone
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
One of my favorite genres of post
so looking from the perspective of like, a random mid-level prt cape in brockton bay ~2011, right. you know marquis and heartbreaker were both villains active semi-locally in the 90s with powers related to manipulating human biology. heartbreaker is known to have a lot of kids and there's no way marquis wasn't sexually active. marquis has a royalty-themed name and dressing style. heartbreaker's power doesn't apply to himself.
and there are also these two teen capes in town, regent and panacea, both of mysterious origin (regent just showed up out of nowhere and panacea is an adoptee whose powers clearly didn't bud off the dallons'), both with powers related to manipulating human biology. regent has a royalty-themed name and dressing style. panacea's power famously doesn't work on herself.

If breakthrough started a youtube channel what absurd drama would they get into
Victoria - Incredibly detailed lore videos about Parahumans, Case Files, Endbringers, Titans etc. Constantly gets into arguments in the comments because no one cites their sources
Kenzie - VTuber except she mass follows every single person in her live-stream and has gone on multiple day streamathons on accident
Rain - Knife making videos but he keeps forgetting to include audio so no one can hear what he's saying
Sveta - Body painting and is frustrated that the Youtube censors keep removing her videos despite all her naughty bits being tendrils when she paints them
Capricorn - Lots of dude-bro challenge videos (Dropping A Giant Goat Statue Onto A Bouncy House!!!) and general appeal to soft prank stuff. Byron gets editor credits
Ashley - Guest stars on Victoria and Kenzie streams, but doesn't actually know how to work the camera, so it's always zoomed in on her eye or off-center
Chris - Gamer stream. Compilation of heated gamer moments and trolling other youtubers.
Accord literally solved world hunger in under seven hours and the Number Man ran the economy in worm. I don’t think it is that unlikely for them to be able to build a stable city together.
Even if it weren’t connected to other worlds.
like 90% of the fatal flaws in the worldbuilding of ward come from the fact that wildbow ended worm with an apocalypse but evidently did not want to write a post apocalyptic story so the world ward takes place in makes no fucking sense
