On wings of hope. Fanart for Necroepilogos
being 5'7" is so fucked. AND i'm a top. i suffer more than you could ever know.
The thing about Alexandria’s death, right, is that I’m not sure if it’s, like, possible? If Skitter could literally have pulled that off given how their respective powers work, or whether you can justify Alexandria having lasted this long at all without someone pulling off something similar. It’s been a while since I’ve read Cell, and I should probably read it again.
But I’m inclined to be charitable because of all the other levels on which it works very very well thematically. Skitter meeting (and killing) the woman she once looked up to the most, albeit at a distance and as a civilian. Skitter killing the personification of everything she’s come to hate about Authority, but then functionally taking her place as the person in authority strongarming and killing to advance the goal of saving the world. Skitter going apeshit because of how strongly Alexandria’s behavior maps onto the kind of person she hates most in the world, going apeshit because she believes her friends are being murdered, and at the end of the day, what else does she care about? Skitter consciously choosing not to rescind the kill order her bugs are carrying out before she passes out. On that note, the fact that Skitters bugs can operate independently of her, and that she’s abnormally difficult to read due to offloading her emotional reactions into her swarm, both coming back with a vengeance in a chekov’s gun kinda way. I like everything surrounding the killing! And I like everything that spills out from it. So if the killing itself does not work I Do Not See It.
New story, new Tattletale🖤🤍💜
OBSESSED with how Ward dives into Tats and how she’s changed since GM. Get this woman some industrial strength excedrin and a therapist please
Also just got to her interlude in my read through and lord, love me some good Ace rep. We do not get enough and I love her story’s subsequent focus on other types of bonds (familial/platonic). Anyway: she!

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
Had a dream that absurdist memes about Pale became super popular. The text was always out of context stuff starting with "when the", like "When the candle milf exits the ritual through the coin" "When the goblin loses a fight with a cigarette" "When the horror is a sexyman" And it was always overlaid on this image.
A kid I went to middle school with showed me a video that was just a bunch of these. I went "wait a second, I know that possum." I explained what Pale was and he said "oh cool, I'll check it out." And then I woke up. Apparently that was the most unrealistic part of the dream, successfully convincing someone to read Pale.
Dungeon Meshi...AH! Dungeon Meshi!
can you imagine being lisette worm??? you start chatting with this homeless guy who tells you that not only can he talk to god, but god listens to him. whatever, that's obviously not true, but who cares? you're chilling, hearing his life's story, when Actual Real Life God shows up and starts hanging out?? offhandedly the guy is like "yeah, i think god's autistic" then goes up to god and tells him he's dying and god should listen to you now. AND THEN, a few years later when the world is ending, the illuminati asks you about it. god never listens to you, not even once.
