There’s something I’m very much missing with dark souls and it’s not just the mechanics and lore.

Why do people infantilize themselves like this... like I get it's meant to be funny like "haha look at me I cant even complete a simple task because i am too socially incompetent" but its not healthy to normalize this kind of ineptitude

The OP scans like they are making light of an anxiety disorder or executive disfunction order that they possess. Yeah, I am sure it isn't healthy to have a mental health issue, its kind of inherent isn't it? But a lot of the time, you cannot just will yourself into being healthy.

i made up a she/its leftist trans woman to play online in order to infiltrate your circles but now that i've been fired from the cia the voice i would write posts in keeps talking to me. is this normal

A not so funny thing I’ve noticed in the Worm fan space is that there are people who seem to genuinely think Worm showed the Nazis (Empire 88) as “civilized” villains

Just a reminder, that claim is bullshit. This is what actually happened in Worm:

- First interaction is a Nazi mook fresh off beating a black woman to a pulp and who laughs at all the dead people the gang war will cause

- Purity interlude has her randomly assume two Asian women outside are hookers and then claims that “at least the Nazis are civilized” (gee, wonder where the fan group got the phrase from) and joins the Nazis (again). She explicitly mentions not going after white criminals when she tried doing “hero” stuff.

- Also her fucking name is purity, she goes white, and shoots double helix beams

- Hookwolf is mentioned as being Birdcage material and only isn’t there because he was rescued. Also he runs illegal dog fighting rings.

- Kaiser begins torturing Asian people who were hostages of Bakuda’s brain bombs and starts calling them “animals”, then threatens Skitter when she tries to stop him

- Nazis visit Bitch’s dog pound, threaten to poison her dogs, and has a child prepare to shoot her in the face until Taylor saves Rachel

- When Purity loses custody of her child due to being a murderous Nazi, her reaction is to blow up several buildings filled with people and then have her minions eat a man on live television

- Oh she also claims to target “genetically impure” because she’s a fucking Nazi

- Empire 88 Nazis literally wreak havoc across the city and kill untold numbers of people. Even Rune, who is 14, tries to kill heroes and Undersiders.

- Kaiser supported all of this btw

- We learn that Hookwolf randomly attackers grocers and carved up Vista

- Hookwolf Interlude. Just… just read that interlude. He’s a fucking Nazi who thinks women are weaker than men, even with powers. He gets scared of killing a single S9 member.

- Hookwolf also tries to steal territory in the city during the S9. Cause he is a fucking Nazi

- We learn that the E88 enforce arranged marriages and also will call you antisemitic slurs based purely on hair style

- We learn that Crusader - another Nazi piece of shit - triggered because he got caught trying to murder his sister. He’s also trying to come up with torture methods on a 15 year old child

- Crusader interlude is also where we learn that Night and Fog were human trafficked and tortured into becoming Nazi parahuman soldiers, with their minds broken

- E88 is allied with the Gesellschaft, who not only engage with human trafficking, want to kill thousands of Americans, but also want nuclear weapons to use in Europe

- Defiant and Skitter both talk about how the E88 would raid marginalized people’s homes and harm them or worse.

I can go into detail about how Ward has Victoria going over various flashbacks and details of how evil the Nazis are, but I think I will end it with Wildbow talking about how awful of a human being Purity is, and how Nazis in general are bad and should not be defended

> You're whitewashing Kayden a lot there. She was a bad person. She stood by while a cameraman was murdered. She leveled buildings in an act of terrorism. She cooperated with an asshole like Kaiser, helping him to secure power by acting as his enforcer and right-hand woman. These things took much more precedence in-story over her saying she loved her child.

Heck, they took precedence in-character - at one point she leaves her child in the custody of a babysitter so she can attend to her business as a cape. She doesn't quit being a cape to focus on her child- she founds the Pure after the fiasco in Buzz. She's still keeping the company of the Pure when Gray Boy gets her.

She had ulterior motives and hopes to do more good in the long run... and it's worth saying that 'good' can be as loaded and mixed a thing as 'bad' - would she have done good? Look at what she called her team and allowed to pass after taking half of E88 under her wing, and infer what she might have done if Kaiser had stepped down. She supported and sheltered absolute monsters even within her contingent of 'the pure'. Crusader, Night, Fog. And beyond that, that long run never came to pass.

People think E88 were written as sympathetic like the most you could argue is that there around the longest so we see them more than say the abb who are first arc starting antagonists but even then the entire point of purity’s interlude is to blatantly tell the reader that the book uses unreliable narrative povs

And every arc involving them shows how terrible they are.

Aisha goes on a rant even about how much she’s suffered under E88 and why she wants them all gone

I feel like people just took purity’s words at face value and assumed it was true because we don’t see a trigger event thunder dome or bakuda bombing spree equivalent because arc seven has to do a lot more than just the undersiders fight nazis

I this there is something to be said about how visceral the evil is in the various factions. Lung is a belligerant asshole, but personality-wise, doesn't feel out of step with how someone might imagine a gang boss to act. Running drugs, human trafficking, exploitative sex work, it fits the preconceived notions of what a gang is and should do. Similarly Coil with white collar financial crimes and mercenaries and blackmail, the Merchants with drug dealing, and of course, the Empire with being a bunch of racist neonazis.

But it feels like each faction had some act of visceral onscreen evil to really kick it up a notch. Bakuda mass implanting bombs and liquifying people in sadistic glee for an audience is so wildly beyond the pale that I've really only seen one fic ever make her a main character with good character development. People REALLY hate Bakuda. The merchants had trigger thunderdome, which is pretty fucked and a clear escalation for their modus operandi. And Coil of course was drugging the shit out of a small child to exploit their power.

The key is that they all, gang members, drug dealers, and bond villains, are framed as doing something abjectly worse than normal gang members, drug dealers and bond villains.

The Empire? I might be missing something, but I don't remember them ever really going above and beyond on screen. Like, they are racist bigots who shake people down for protection money, do human trafficking, and run dog fighting rings. Which is all unquestionably evil, but it feels like they never took the narrative step to frame them as worse than your average run of the mill nazis.

I will say in fanfic land I think its interesting the way the Empire gets framed compared to the Merchants. Objectively speaking the former is far worse than the latter, yet the latter seems to get a disproportionate amount of disgust. I am tempted to chalk it up to classism and possibly racism, but I think its interesting that the Merchants all get trashy names fit only to mock them and denigrate them, even if in theory they have a double meaning and could be read as describing their powers.

Do you think Krouse ever fucked Noelle after her body got like that

wait i'm curious

Help me. Help. Please.

fairy tales become so much more interesting when you add political intrigue. the firstborn princess was locked in a tower after losing a war of succession. dragons regularly kidnap heirs to the throne as leverage for land rights treaties. sleeping beauty was doomed to sleep for a century bc of erstwhile trade disputes.

If you have fae like Maleficent actually living in or near your kingdom then appeasing them in the manner of fairy tales constitutes good political policy. You invite the damn creepy mega-powerful fairy to your childs' christening and welcome them like the insanely powerful foreign delegation/internal political faction they are.

If you piss off a normal neighboring ruler they might invade you and kill your peasants, piss off one of your most powerful vassals and they might take your castle and kill you and your family, if you piss off one of the fae they might curse your crops to fail for fifty years or put your entire castle in a magical slumber for a century.

More fantasy rulers dealing with fae and other incredibly powerful magical beings should be acting a lot more like your standard Ruritania or Kreplachistan dealing with the US, Russia, or China. One wrong move and the whole country gets to be "liberated" with a truly impressive amount of explosions.

Isn't it basically subtext that the witches and fairies who always be bargaining for first-born children are doing so because those kids have a claim on the wealth of the family? Like yeah some of them eat children, but that first-born caveat comes up a ridiculous number of times to not be coincidental.

one time someone online got mad at me for drawing porn of oddish. disregarding any and all discourse about whether or not pokemon pass the harkness test, im sorry, thats an onion. thats a root vegetable. if you truly believe that rule 34 of a sentient onion creature speaks to a desire to have sex with the real life equivalent, you dont have to worry about me commiting beastiality. but keep an eye on me in the produce section

many tears were shed that day

We locked a child in a basement for 30 years to read what ideas it came up with ex nihilo & tabula rasa and it only made derivative slop

I raised a child in a lightless cave, then at age 13 I gave them a lamp, pen, and paper, and they just instinctively drew a "cool S" and amateur Kim Possible hentai

if u are a sensitive boy with long hair or maybe an oddly desensitized boy with short hair and feel some gnawing yearning deep inside urself from a place u don't understand, or maybe u don't feel anything at all besides an implacable pain, or maybe u don't even feel the pain and it's just a sheet of noise and numbness, and u have been waiting for a sign, this is it. it's time to start smoking cigarettes. rolling your own is way cheaper than prefabs, filters are a scam that's just fiberglass. but u can smoke fiberglass if u want. i love you.

it's actually really irresponsible to tell people to start taking estrogen without warning them of the health risks

the big mans a lad i have fuck all, he lets me have a kip in a field he showed me a pond 

im not a cuck myself but i like observing their culture from the outside, like say, from a chair in the corner

I find “rational” Worm fanfics amusing

Because the authors never realize that Worm already has a “rational” character and his name is Accord.

And everyone in setting hates Accord because he’s a smug asshole, and his optimal way of thinking ends with him cut in half by his own actions.

It’s almost as funny as malicious compliance fan fics that make up the rules for Taylor to use against the PRT, as though they are trying to “gotcha!” a fictional organization

We literally see how canon Taylor does “malicious compliance” as Weaver and it’s not “lol so smart” rules lawyering, it’s just being a corrupt hero and not getting caught for it lmao
