VICTORIA DALLON - Heyyyy Ames, I was just thinking: aren't I a biokinetic too? 'Cause with my super strength i can impart kinetic force onto living things, y'know, biological things. Don't you think that makes me a biokinetic? Y'know? At least a little bit?

PARAHUMANOLOGY [Medium: Success] - *Obviously* not. Biokinesis is a very specific ability. According to the PRT Special Engagement Classifications Guidebook (2006), to be labeled as biokinesis, a Parahuman ability has to directly effect organic matter, without need for an intermediary. Even *Bonesaw* isn't technically a biokinetic.

SORORAL INSTINCT [Easy: Success] - She knows this. She was the one who made you read the PRT Special Classifications Guidebook (2006).

ANXIETY [Easy: Success] - She's moving to poke you in the arm, *sororally*. Don't let her touch you. Who *knows* what you'll do.

SHAPER [Impossible: Failure] - C'mon, Amelia... just a little change wouldn't hurt, would it? Just look at her chest cavity, it's so *spacious*, you could fit one, two new organs in there, maybe optimize the lungs a little so they take up less space, I'm *sure* no one would notice.

TRIGGER TRAUMA [Challenging: Failure] - She doesn't go to any other doctors because she has you, so nobody would find out, and really, it would make her so much better in combat, you'd just be keeping her safe. Honestly, what kind of sister would you be if you let her get hurt?

GUILT [Medium: Success] - Amelia. If you do that, then you will need to throw yourself from the nearest rooftop afterwards as penance. And you are going to deserve it the entire way down.

- "Victoria. I Do Not Think That Is How It Works."

- "God, please, Vicky, I'm so sorry for everything I've ever thought. I'm so so so sorry. Do you want me to kill myself?" (Gesture at nearby tall building)

- [Sororal Instinct: Formidable] "Have you ever considered extreme body modification? I ask for no reason in particular."

- [Anxiety: Medium] Flinch and writhe away from her touch.

- [Shaper: Easy] Go for it. You know you want to.

Accord in Worm doesn’t have literal OCD, like normal people do. He instead has much weirder power induced OCD-like disorder where he is constantly plagued by hyperrealistic hallucinations of how he can fix every problem he notices no matter how small. Similarly Rachel doesn’t have literal autism, she has power induced dogbrain that is similar to autism. Metaphorically autistic but also very literally neurodivergent. And obviously these are metaphors, like superpowered larger-than-life exaggerations of real problems, but are also literal concrete and meaningfully distinct brain issues. And these are probably related to issues that they had before, but afaik theres no textual evidence for that.

Parahuman psychiatry must be ridiculously difficult compared to normal psychiatry (which is still hard). Each person with an issue has a literally bespoke, completely unique mental illness taylored to be impossible for them to overcome. Like you can’t treat Accords problems the way you would treat regular OCD, because the problem has a completely different source. The wiring of his brain is different! I mean we already don’t understand the workings of our regular flesh brains, and Worm psychologists are trying to model and explain and cure these mental illnesses without the knowledge that an intelligent interdimensional parasite is integrated into this persons mind and actively disrupting shit. They don’t need Jessica Yamada, they need speculative biologists and 80 years to get the fundamentals down!

It’s just a completely intractable problem. Fascinating for neuroscientists to have literally infinite unique diagnoses, but realistically impossible to achieve any kind of practical general solution. And this isn’t a niche problem either! Parahuman psychology is the number 1 driving force in the development of human society from like the 1990s to forever. 1 billion parahumans and each of them have completely different brain wiring, and you need to be able to understand them if you want them to function in any kind of social group without them all killing each other. If i was in charge i would have let Scion kill me

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

[ichorandpride]

#they really said “you can’t use wiki as an academic source-use our garbage AI that’s even less reliable”#and you can’t even opt out of it

no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)

you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results

there are ALWAYS ways around stuff. it's just a matter of looking into it and asking around

Utopian techno-futurist concept: a tofu container which has a peel-away lid which is not bonded more strongly to the container than to itself, and as such can simply be peeled away rather than being iteratively torn into shreds or cut with a knife.

yesterday I had the thought "visual novel for normal people" (?) and halfway through making this image (which I thought would be really funny) I realized it was completely meaningless

[freakoutgirl]

sorry for being annoying [remembers that practicing gratitude instead of shame is better for my mental health and my relationships] thank you for letting me be annoying with you

People of Brockton Bay, I have some tragic news.

Lisa "Tattletale" Wilbourn-Hebert passed away tonight, at age 31. The lifelong supervillain stopped by my house and made some smartass remark, and I regret to say I lost my temper and melted her into goo.

I'm sorry all.

Rest in Power, Tattletale.
