what is forbidden.

[lakesbian]

genuinely obsessed w/ taylor hebert. like. Incredible character design. despite it all, worm is still The Best Superpowered Media. the way the bug powers are entirely integral to her identity the way she is Literally a bug girl the way she’s always putting the para in parahuman. obsessed w/ the fact that she’s a crawling worm you can’t root out and a biting swarm that blots out the sun and a cockroach that loses its head and keeps fucking going. obsessed with the bit during gold morning where she’s floating dead in the water and then lab rat’s tech lets her grow literal bug legs & mandibles so she can skitter back up the oil rig and think about how much she wants to hurt an entity which can snuff billions of people like ants beneath its heel. character who is a bug both in the sense that she’s infinitesimally small and that it is impossible to really get rid of her. you can shoot her and leave her in a burning building for dead, you can snap her spine, you can blind her, you can tear her intestines out, and she still just Keeps Fucking Crawling so she can reach your mouth and suffocate you. literally the most david vs goliath character of all time except it’s cockroach vs goliath. you can nuke the planet and she’ll hide in the nooks and crannies of the barren wasteland promising that she’s going to get back at you for what you’ve done, and she always makes good on that promise. she’s the queen of the hive she’s the monarch she’s the administrator she’s The Worm That Turns she is THEE top weirdgirl character Ever

genuinely why is the bit where she turns into a literal bug during gold morning not more popular to draw. it fucks so hard. everyone else is absolutely hopeless and she’s standing there on her three legs with her two claws and gaping mandibles, staring at the sky, putting together swarm clones and spools of thread and thinking “how can i hurt him for this.” and she figures it out. she Always figures it out. she literally never gives a fucking inch. dying in the water, out of bugs, squashed, and does she give up? no. she starts putting together swarm clones out of fucking Krill to try to do Something. she is an absolutely glorious ruthless little cockroach. all hail queen administrator, monarch of all that is crawling and venomous and spiteful

funniest thing in worm so far is that a few arcs in it's like "oh btw someone made contact with an alternate earth a while back and we've been exchanging dvds with them" and im like huh that was kind of out of nowhere but ok, and then it doesnt get brought up at all for like a dozen more arcs and just when it reaches the point where i start thinking it mightve been my imagination or maybe i confused it with another story it suddenly becomes relevant and im like ohhhhhhh shit i almost forgot about DVD World

[lambda-larry]

But.. she wants to be a hero :(

[cassettecolonthree]

people have lots of pet peeves with guys being/being called grunglers. i dont care abt any of that. my annoyance is that in the original tweet the guy himself was not the grungler, the messed up dark souls character he made while on call with strange transsexuals was the grungler. ur all misusing the term

For thousands of years humanity has selectively bred chickens to have larger breasts and to have to lay eggs constantly. We did it to get more meat and per chicken, but from the perspective of the domesticated chickens they’re sorta living in a very specific fetish scenario

[tpwrtrmnky]

one of those "you beat the bad guys by finding the clever workaround to their powers" shonen stories except everyone's doing it with the main character's power

[tpwrtrmnky]

Generally when it comes to obligations wrt how you use a social media account, anything that contradicts the principle of You Are Always Allowed To Log The Fuck Off is inherently suspect.

[tpwrtrmnky]

"If you don't reblog this-" You are always allowed to log the fuck off.

"You have to-" You are always. Allowed. To log the fuck off.

"Don't do this thing on your social media account." This is fine. If you're logged off, you're not doing the thing. See how that works?

[tpwrtrmnky]

If an issue is important, that's all the more reason to say "if I don't have the time and energy to engage with this issue properly, then I should avoid interacting with it until I have the capacity to make sure I'm not spreading misinformation."

For an interesting look into the mind of a transmisogynist, take a look at this post and pay attention to who the word "you" is referring to throughout this post and how it changes

OP starts off by declaring her hatred for people who use tma and tme, confidently lecturing and reminding 'you' [trans women/fems] about the fact that while 'you' [trans women/fems] experience transmisogyny, 'we' [trans men/mascs, not trans women] experience "regular misogyny"

Set aside for now the way op implicitly positions trans women as not being subject to "regular misogyny" same as her, and watch what she does next.

She recounts a recent shopping experience with her father and then starts going off about how if 'you' [OP's father] would just do a little bit of actual research then 'you' [OP's father] would not be so ignorant about period product. Why are 'you' [OP's father] stigmatizing 'your' [OP's father] child's body!

At the beginning of the post, OP is venting at and lecturing 'you' [trans women], but by the end OP is all caps yelling at 'you' [OP's father].

We can see that her father is the actual source of her current anger and frustration, but OP takes that anger and vents it at trans women and fems instead of her father who it should be rightfully directed at.

When we talk about trans women being "girls you can hit" or "whipping girls", its not just about physical violence directed at us, its also about the way people like OP will use us as sin-eaters and scapegoats for the actions of others. OP is having a problem with her father, but instead of dealing with that problem in a healthy way she instead decides that the best thing to do is offload her anger onto trans women as a collective class that she feels an unjustified sense of superiority over.

really specific trope i like that i feel like can only be explained in a diagram

One of my all-time favorite Worm moments still has to be when Taylor meets Scapegoat. They trade injuries, he goes “you’re fucking blind?!” and spends the rest of the chapter being dragged around by his teammates while Taylor looks on thinking “I wonder if his power makes the damage worse for him?” Meanwhile she’s in so much less pain than before that she describes the feeling as euphoric. My dissociative queen 🪲

I had to mentally send myself a reaction image the other day. I ran up the stairs on all fours, said to myself “i’m such a locationpilled scampercel” and then perfectly envisioned this image

When I die I wanna be resurrected as the crab in the bucket of crabs that pulls the other crabs back into the bucket. And I'll love doing it

[evilscientist3]

if i could die i would wanna be resurrected as a crab strong enough to pull your crabsona out of the bucket. and then where would you be

the creeping allure of becoming a jax defense warrior

[mousidy]

ok so I know this is bleeding into like, fandom nonsense and isn't entirely a transmisogyny thing, but I do think it's bizarre how often I see people say ribbit and kaufmo were "just used as narrative devices" in Jax's story and were robbed of the chance to be full characters explored in their own rights. yes, absolutely, the evil trans woman is robbing screentime from the characters in her backstory

[mousidy]

see also the accusations of "character favoritism"

yes, the evil and mean author has favorite characters who she so cruelly centers the stories of

"main characters"? "supporting cast"? what do these arcane words mean?

[mousidy]

a trans woman has committed the unforgivable sin of being one of the main characters in a story instead of accepting her rightful place in the secondary or tertiary cast
