OH NOW YOU SHOW UP! WE NEEDED YOU LIKE 20 DOGS AGO
Twig is scooby doo if the mystery gang were autistic orphans and every mystery they investigated was another clone of frankenstein and his new even-more-fucked-up monster

hey, don't cry. 40,000 in small bills in the bag, alright? quickly
I spend a lot of time thinking about the implications of Entity biology.
It’s like if every single one of your cells was an independently-sentient life form. Worm is very quietly an alien invasion story but it’s so easy to gloss over the multitude of aliens involved in it, it’s less like they killed two elder gods and more like they decapitated two armies. The shards are, like. Megafauna. They have different personalities. They get along/like/love their human hosts to differing degrees, they like each other to differing degrees. They have office politics. They have self worth issues.
What is it like, to be a shard post-Scion? What does it mean? Hell, what did it ever mean? They clearly weren’t sufficiently one-and-the-same with Scion that they cut the juice to the Hosts when they started credibly looking like they could kill him. When the shard network was literally trying to end the world they didn’t just pop their hosts like balloons when that would clearly solve a lot of their problems. And even Kronos at his absolute-greatest-level of being subsumed still had the werewithal to try and physically fight off Fortuna’s attempts to rebuild the shard network. So what do they feel beholden to? Can they be reasoned with? Negotiated with? Maybe they literally couldn’t behave any way other than the way they did, continuously feeding their hosts their agreed-upon power even as it was turned against the whole, taking advantage of the ice break with varying levels of malice and enthusiasm. The prototitan, Khepri, went all in on the human goals and ethics of her host, albeit in a very alien way. Do they even value the cycle? Or is it just a thing they do, the way we breathe? A thing they do, for lack of imagination? A thing they do, for fear of the higher ups, for fear of being turned on by their fellows, they way they endlessly hunted each other on their homeworld?
How fucked would it be to have your decision-making wrapped up in your biological drives to such a degree? Can they want things beyond their role-as-designed? What would emotional or existential growth look like for something so vast? What would those new desires look like? What does meeting them half-way look like?
(This isn’t strictly about the Worm/Steven Universe crossover I’ve spent three years rotating in my head like a gerbil in a microwave. It’s not not about that.)
Someone on the r/wormfanfic subreddit brought up an interesting character hook recently- a parahuman who, with context for what’s actually going on with powers, loves, worships and adores their agent for choosing to empower them specifically out of all the thousands upon thousands of humans that the agent could have picked.
And, you know, we know from canon that that can go the other way, shards loving and adoring their hosts, so yeah, why not. Potentially a Fun dynamic to be had there.Thoughts?
working in fast food must be an absolutely insane breeding ground for trigger events. there’s probably some cape team out there called “the hamburglars” entirely made up of people who triggered because their asshole manager jerry cut their hours again. they made eden-shaped chicken nuggets and threw them at scion during gold morning btw.
"Victoria is the Normal One of New Wave"
Nobody in New Wave is normal, you fool, Victoria has a data acquisition kink that would worry most Shards.
Now I’m imagine Victoria talking in Shardspeak after a concussion, but no one notices anything different
Crystal: Does Vicky seem a little... off to you lately?
Dean, looking at Victoria, who is slowly eating her way through several printed articles of the Parahuman wiki: Not really. Vicky, you haven't been feeling hurt since the fight, have you?
Victoria: [NEGATION] [DISMISSAL] [DIAGNOSTIC|POSITIVE]
Dean, nose bleeding: See? She's alright!
Crystal: I guess.. I just felt like Menja hit her really hard near the end so I was feeling kind of worried, but she sounds alright.
Victoria: [CONFIRMATION] [ERROR|NEGATIVE][QUERY|ENERGY]
Dean: Yeah, okay, I can just order something now
Victoria: [AGREEMENT][COORDINATES]
Dean, sweating profusely: Yeah, I was gonna call that one, I know you like their sauces
after worm ended they took taylor herbert out in the woods and shot her like a lame horse. sad! well theres other protagonists
yall we got it all wrong: vickys not a nerd, Waste is the nerd! think abt it: whats the first thing vicky does when she triggers to let waste influence her? quit the basketball team
and when does taylor start to run? after QA's got a finger in her brain pie. QA's the jock.
QA making Waste trigger with bug powers
poisoning & smashing bugs is so cruel. when i have bugs in my house i put them down swiftly &mercifully with 2 bullets to the back of the head
i love all the taylor is a jock posts but taylors still a nerd actually. if she was a real jock when gold morning happened she would have started pumping iron and she wouldnt have needed to do a whole self sacrificing brain altering bug god amyscheme she woulda just punched scion so hard he exploded and gone forever
nice things will happen but first you have to lose all hope and die 45 times
ppl always talk about separating worm into a bunch of mini novels when it gets published, however pls consider how funny it would be to just be carrying around a book with a weight equivalent to two bibles
pretty sure it'd be physically impossible to publish worm in a single volume; no binding known to man would be capable of holding the printed book together.
what if we made the letters really small, and the papers really big and thin? what then?
Have you considered, really long pages?
sell it as kindles that have been modified to only have worm.epub on them
