#faultlines crew

[faultlinescrew]

Ive missed them

[wormn0ra]

I always picture Newter as a full sized orange salamander and I always picture Gregore as a human sized snail dude shell included,, I am willfully ignoring their canon descriptions because I do not care and like them better in my head

And of course faultline is hot as hell,, actually they all are

faultline had some weird and badass gender stuff going on behind the scenes right?

Did Dinah travel with Faultline's Crew, or just advise them remotely? Probably the latter, but still, she must've had a lot of back and forth with Elle about which worlds to open portals to. I wonder if they became friends during the timeskip.

Faultline is portrayed as a pretty decent person in the narrative and compared to some other worm characters, yeah she could be far worse.

But her primary motivation is money, and she will put getting the bag before anything else. Not giving a shit about working with nazis as long as she and her team gets paid is the most obvious example I can give here.

Only looking into cauldron because one of her employees are paying her to do so, and from what I've read on the wiki (bc lord knows I'm not reading ward, so ward-heads if I get this bit wrong do let me know) is laundering merc money in a post apocalypse, which, y'know, that tracks.

Also, (not sure if this counts but I have to bring it up or I'll go mad) but she has a habit of picking up disenfranchised capes (case 53's, labyrinth, spitfire, ect) and giving them offers they can't refuse, so seeing as they do depend on her to pay them I do think there's a case to be made for her exploiting them to some degree.

Do I think that faultline thinks she's exploiting the rest of her crew? No not at all, (she probably doesn't consider herself morally bankrupt either).

She clearly cares for them but considers them as 'friends and employees', so as much as she likes the crew, they are assets to her mercenary business at the end of the day. And it shows in the way she treats them, pressing professionalism and training into the day to day.

Faultline is the owner of the Palaquin, owner of proxy businesses, the one handling all the jobs and money- shes their boss.

And if you go and throw out the power imbalance to found family all of them, well, I can't stop you, but I will probably click off of the fic.

She definitely underpays them too
