This isn’t commonly known but one of the rings of hell is actually being in a fandom wherein the popular bloggers have the worst opinions known to man that everyone else parrots
here's something I haven't asked, I'm not so sure anyone asked either:
So, superhero stuff, do you have any favorites? Me personally I like Jessica Cruz GL, specially in the fatal five movie, is there any team or character you enjoy a lot?
Static Shock, especially the new comics.
The web serial "Worm" which you should read if you haven't.
And I can't not mention X-Men given how much I loved the 90s cartoon and X-Men Evolution as a kid.
....And not to shamelessly plug, but my original writing that I'm starting behind the scenes is shaping up to be pretty fun.
Reading worm! I love it so far, I’m on colony 15.2 (just after the slaughterhouse nine arc) so no spoilers, but I’ll be joining the fandom as soon as I’m done!
ik wildbow said aura-theory wasn't real, and while I do enjoy stories that handle the concept well I agree that it probably isn't to blame for amy's crush. (my belief is that she was adopted late enough that her brain didn't unconsciously mark victoria as familial so ofc her lesbian ass was attracted to a gorgeous girl.)
but consider: there ain't no damn way having your brain chemistry regularly played like a banjo during puberty doesn't affect your neurological development.
maybe it took a normal crush and heightened it with a feedback loop of chemical reinforcement, leaving amy unable to get over victoria and move on. maybe amy's brain literally got addicted to the aura from being in it's range while her brain was going through crucial neurological development. maybe it did both, maybe it did neither. but it sure as fuck did something.
hell, mark dallon's depression was probably affected by the aura in some way. even if maybe only on a temporary basis, because he wasn't subjected to it very often and his brain is fully developed. but amy's is not and she spent the majority of her time around her adopted sister.
yes amy dallon is a hot mess for a trillion other reasons but john c. mcrae is wildin if he thinks victoria's aura didn't affect that girl in some way.
i wish the arcs leading up to speck were better tbh… 26 is a little bit of a slog and hyper-intense, 27 picks up hard at the end, 28 is just okay, 29 is a good set up but unfortunately its a little long and 30 is fucking peak
Everyone hates you. You think you're such hot shit, above it all, but we all know how stupid and shallow you really are.
god, i fucking wish. if everybody hated me, and i mean really fucking hated me, i wouldn't have to deal with teachers trying to date me, middle-aged pedophiles catcalling me every time i leave the house, suburban dads trying to cheat on their wives with me, guys following me home from school, all the male students at school staring down my shirt every time they see me, fucking everybody thinking i owe them my time and attention and my body just because they're standing in front of me. it's like you hit puberty and all of a sudden there's blood in the water and everybody in the world turns out to be a fucking shark
but they don't really hate me. i mean, they might think i'm a stuck-up bitch, but they don't really hate me, not really. i don't think they actually can hate me.
because you hate a person - you don't hate an object.
you either want or you don't want an object. and the real problem is that people want me way, way, too much
