New fic from me! This is a Worm/NieR Automata crossover fic, with the crossover mainly being in NieR elements and ‘powersets’ appearing as parahuman powers, focused on Taylor Hebert. No Locker trigger, but also not starting with a trigger at all. The ship is Taylor/Parian though it’s a slow burn romance that takes a long time to get anywhere, but I like longfics so that works out.
Feel free to come check it out if you’re interested!
Frankly, I think power systems and power scaling are dumb as hell. And setting out to write with an intense focus on making this whole complicated and detailed Sandersonian Magic system is a recipe for disaster or burnout if you don't have an actual plot in mind.
Like, clearly it *can* work, hence the 'Sandersonian', but the circumstances surrounding things require more specificity. The best "power systems" are loose as hell and prone to changing with the next issue or novel in a series, or they're of a particularly random variety to the point its just a setting with powers, rather than a setting built to serve a power system.
I get that I'm a Worm fan so this may sound hypocritical, but my least favorite aspect of it (beyond a lot of stuff introduced in Ward and specific peculiarities in Wildbow's online behavior and fan interaction) is the unification of the power system. It's a well done system admittedly, but I couldn't care less for how shards pick hosts or the Entity cycle or any of the sci fi frosting to the story. The good part of Worm powers are in how they tie into character trauma, and the good part of Worm is in the characterization and development of relationships over time, not in the drawn out fights or cape matchups.
Not going to say people can't be obsessed over power systems or power scaling, and I wouldn't stop them even if I had the ability, but its certainly not for me and this blog is a place to share my thoughts on things anyway.
Official Footprints on the Moon update for those who follow me for it!
January 7th, 2026 is when Arc 4 is going to start releasing. Sorry for the longish wait, December is like that sometimes, but progress yet continues!
Just for anyone following this blog for my fanfic stuff. Arc 3 of Footprints on the Moon is going to start releasing on October 29th!
Its definitely been a slow-going process and I need to finish the last two chapters still, but im confident I can do so over the course of the next week.
Interesting trend with both my currently unfinished fic and the fic im working on right now instead of it: I gravitate towards complex discussions about violence and death and how my protagonist feels about those things, how their opinion may change or how they may force themselves to change due to necessity.
I just think thats neat, its neat that my brain goes there, that it cares about these fictional lives and deaths of fodder characters, that its important to an inner part of me that the character i write the perspective of *needs* to think about it.
Man, I wanted to get *some* writing done today. But its so fucking hot out and my shoulder hurts and I just want to read some fanfiction. Ive laid down 5k+ words in the last week, I can recharge for a night.
Sounds healthy
