Lily Got To Brockton On June 2, And — Assuming She Was Being Exact When She Said She Had Two Weeks

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.

kick the jesse :)

having audio processing issues is so humiliating like yeah i heard you and yeah i was actively listening but the problem is i dont know what the fuck you sayed

shawty got them evil bottom jeans

the more that i think about it, the more i feel like the undersiders are a really good litmus test for ability to understand/be sympathetic towards neurodivergency w/o reacting w/ hatred when it’s unpalatable. like, yes. they do in fact do a lot of violent and terrible things. but they’re from “trauma viscerally literalized as superpowers which are taken to extreme usages to better represent how devastating and emotionally total being traumatized feels” the book–it makes sense that every character is messy, it makes sense that every character does and thinks shit that extremely fucking sucks. trauma extremely fucking sucks! bitch literally tearing a man’s arm off because she’s been taught her entire life that people will always mock and hurt her for who she is and has learned to use aggression as pre-emptive defense feels significantly more relatable to what i was like when i was an autistic teenager than any quirky-funny representation of autism out there, and she’s not even explicitly autistic. 

like, yeah, taylor has a paranoid and irrational worldview. lisa is hypervigilant and secretive and manipulative. brian can barely function & still refuses to be vulnerable. aisha acts out and it being for attention doesn’t make the behavior any less grating. rachel is aggressive and stubborn and violent. alec doesn’t understand ethical or social boundaries. those are all things i’ve seen people complaining about, saying they hated those characters for it, saying that it was fucking irritating to read about. which is like…Yeah, That’s How Traumatized Teenagers Act! 

taylor had any ability to be “rational” about social interactions eroded from the years of irrational cruelty she faced. lisa micromanages her loved ones’ wellbeing because the last time she didn’t, her brother died. brian genuinely doesn’t know how to function at all if he’s not trying to be strong because it’s the only coping mechanism he’s been taught. aisha, chronically abused and neglected, is trying to assert autonomy & gain attention in the only way she knows how. rachel has learned that the only way she’ll be afforded any respect is if she takes it by force. alec says & does wildly inappropriate things because 13 years of grooming taught him it was normal. 

& yeah, all of those things suck to deal with, but that is in fact because trauma sucks to deal with. litmus test for ability to realize that and be reasonably generous about the fact instead of shitting on the involved teenagers for having a hard time being perfect people after experiencing things built to make them feel less than human.

So, it seems like the fandom consensus on Pale is that you shouldn't bother reading it, because it is "too long". I'm going to push back against this. Yes, it is "too long". Yes it does loose focus near the end, and become a bit thematically muddled. Yes, it has it's share of Wildbow's patented Boring Action Schlock, particularly near the end (but not any more, proportionally, than Worm or Pact or any of the other ones that the fandom has decided are the "good" ones). But it is still 100% worth reading. The highs are just that high.

Dungeon Meshi...AH! Dungeon Meshi!

why is the worm wiki timeline so passive-aggressive toward scion
