Au where Taylor reads her mother's diaries in the basement, learns her mum was a serial killer groupie and her dad is jack slash. Triggers as a result and goes through the rest of worm canon with worse levels of catastrophising than amy.

"ooooh I'm gonna turn evil, it's in my blood"

"ooooh jack's gonna make me join the slaughterhouse nine"

"ooooh people are right to ignore/hurt me"

Finally confronts jack when the nine come to Brockton Bay and turns out her mum just wrote weird self-insert fanfic in her diaries. Danny is her dad and jack's gay as hell...

It was incredibly awkward for everyone involved.

Bonus points if she uses it to justify every somewhat shitty thing she does.

You don't get it, planning to betray the undersiders was just in her nature...

Dumbass

[al3xand3r245]

I’d argue that ‘doing something shitty and then blaming their innate nature’ is very Jack Slash-y of her. Maybe she was onto something…

[anendangeredspecies]

Oh my god... Jack got Danny pregnant

I’m actually so hot is the thing like damn that woman in the mirror is me?? Sure she has a very limited wardrobe, zero fashion sense, and doesn’t know how to do makeup, but she’s still so attractive sometimes that it catches me off guard

[elliespectacular]

wanna hang out [remembers it's rude to put expectations on people] it's cool if not [remembers people like to know they're wanted] but I'd really like it if you did [remembers selfishness is bad] we can do whatever you want though [remembers that handing someone a blank canvas isn't as effective as providing a suggestion to bounce ideas off of] like sucking each others fingers for example

shaking my head when a girl does something self-destructive because as a proud powerscaler i know that people can only act completely rationally

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

I tried searching your blog for "clone" and "murderfuck" and "deregulated the entire industry" to find that post and i cannot. Could you please reblog it again i need it so bad it's haunted me in the best way

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

we've been doing this every year for your birthday. this will be the fourth year. you love it. you love hearing me call and book the appointment, you love waiting together with me in the clean white lobby, you love the special electrolyte drink i always give you to help you feel your best, you love the way the samplescanner puts you gently to sleep as it works, you especially love that it knocks you out so thoroughly that by the time you wake up it's been two days or more of dreamless sleep and IV nutrients, and by then the clone is ready, and i've already set us up comfortably in the hotel room. just us three.

you're sipping the electrolyte drink as we wait. i'm quietly reading the screamticker headlines. your hands won't stop fidgeting. your fingers find a brochure on the table in front of you, advertising the service you're already here to receive, for the fourth time. you half-read it like a cereal box. "SAMPLESCAN CLONING IS PERFECTLY SAFE" it says in handsome blue font. "ASIDE FROM A SMALL SCAR ON THE THIGH WHERE THE SAMPLE IS TAKEN, MOST CLIENTS REPORT ONLY MILD SCANNING SICKNESS AS A SIDE EFFECT. CLIENTS TYPICALLY REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN TWO TO THREE HOURS."

your eyes catch on that last word. you read it again. then again. your eyes drift from the brochure to the drink in your other hand to the unblemished flesh of your exposed thigh beneath your skirt. you taste your own mouth and try to remember how to breathe. you watch as i put my hand on your thigh, firm. you turn to look at me. my stare is flat and utterly without warmth. "happy birthday, baby." i say. "how does it feel to be one?"

in the pause, the receptionist calls your name.

This has been a most insightful operator background story

[mephostophilis]

are non brits aware of count binface.

[mephostophilis]

to give some entirely bizarre context, nigel farage (extreme cunt) has stepped down from his position as MP for clacton (due to a scandal where he received £5 million from a crypto billionaire that could have been laundered) only to run again so that he can prove people like him. and the only person running against him is count binface. who has been a staple of british politics for many years. and now the british press is forced to interview him seriously while he sits there with his binface.

[hidingfromlaw]

he's also a neo nazi. can we not forget that nigel farage is a neo nazi. cheers.

[aachen404]

I feel the need to also add this

[ID: Tweet by @PoliticsUK reading: "NEW: Parliament has confirmed Count Binface will not be allowed to sit in the Commons wearing his sapce costume and bin head. He remains the only main challenger to Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election.". This is quote-tweeted by @Annnemarieward saying "The joke isn't the bin. The joke is pretending the man inside it is some random eccentric. Jonathan David Harvey is an Oxford-educated writer with three decades at the heart of the BBC comedy establishment, writing for programmes such as The Thick of It, Have I Got News For You and Yes Minister. He's won awards, been celebrated by the media, and is hardly an unknown outsider. So let's stop pretending Count Binface is just a bloke who wandered into politics wearing a wheelie bin. The costume is the gimmick. The career behind it is anything but." End ID]

P.S. @ PoliticsUK as far as I'm aware is run by a Reformist.

Stephen King released a novel last year with just a straight up uncomplicated uncritical rendition of the plural tranny psycho killer antagonist and in the afterword was like "i wanted to do something like Psycho :)"

these things have not been reckoned with

[sexualencountersatwalmart]

this isn't directly related to the ongoing discussion of this trope in horror and the transmisogynistic legacy of seminal horror films like Psycho, but i think it's worth talking about as a larger illustration of the narrative roles afforded to transfeminized characters:

there is exactly one other explicitly transfeminized character in this series by King (the Bill Hodges/Holly Gibney series of detective novels). she appears in the climax of End of Watch (2016) as one victim in a montage of victims coerced into suicide by the antagonist. she is described very clearly as a trans girl, but is directly referred to by the text as a gay boy. i won't go into detail, but her on-page suicide (unlike the others in the montage) is a dark comedy beat, played for laughs

[sexualencountersatwalmart]

yes! nail on the head right here. like yes, it's worth it to be like "fuck stephen king" and criticize the particulars of his transmisogynistic writing, but the broader point is that this is what transfemininity looks like in pop culture and it's what it looks like right now!

this isn't history or a settled issue, it's our current reality

this post is worth more than your entire gimmick blog

[pgwodewose]

My stance is that before you embark upon writing your own mythology retelling, you should actually read the source literature you're basing your retelling on as opposed to simply relying on other retellings.

[pgwodewose]

So, places online you can go to look regarding sources:

Here on Tumblr, @arthurianpreservationproject has a wealth of Arthurian PDFs
