I was talking to my friend about Ward and we were losing it at how funny some of the fucking insane-ass lines Rain will drop out of nowhere are. Shit like
Just the most OUTRAGEOUS shit to say Rain. No one was thinking you were homophobic until you brought it up like that!!! Rain should have dropped that line and Tristan just abruptly swapped to Bryon without saying a word.
So.. Is it just me or does Wildbow use the term 'playing ball' insanely often in his writing?? Or is this a.. Canadian thing???
Thoughts on Victoria x Lisa?
Victoria x Lisa is so funny to me because like... they absolutely would never ever ever date. The idea would never cross their minds, because their pride/egos/orientations (Lisa being ace and possibly aro) would get in the way.
But!
They have that vibe, ya know? Like, if you watched them from a distance, with no knowledge of their history you'd think, "Oh, they totally dated in the past".
They are absolutely, absurdly catty with each other, but then you'll also see them enjoying light teasing, or pet names (honey and hon are TT's faves) or comforting each other with words and physical contact.
This only increases by the end of the story, where Vic has just accepted TT as her (Not) Friend and TT is literally too shy to admit how much she cares about Victoria (even though she is making sure Vic will never have to worry about her abuser ever again out of the goodness of her heart).
And people notice! Sveta wonders why Vic gives TT so much leeway, Imp constantly jokes that Vic and TT are flirting/an item, and even Vic is like, "Yeah, we are both Ex-Wives".
EX-WIVES?!
It's not even that they are physically attracted to each other (Lisa makes several remarks about not caring about how attractive Vic is; She's grossed out by potential nudes that Teacher might leak, the idea of Vic and Anelace hooking up, and the "I don't care about your boobs" joke in the final arc), or emotionally attracted to each other either (Vic really does not like how TT handles the kids sometimes or any sign of emotional weakness really)...
It's just that they have such a vibe that you could imagine that they had some sort of fling or something that went down in the past, and now they are just in this... Ex-Wife, (Not) Friend, limbo state of being.
I kind of wonder if WB ever considered making them like... actually an item or broach that relationship, before deciding it worked a lot better for them to be Respected Partners.
It’s not brought up much but Manpower is like seven feet tall. How on Earth did this man keep a secret identity before New Wave went public?
I assume he’s built like Kingpin from Spiderverse
No one ever talks about Victoria's most egregious crime: braiding wet hair
Why does she do this. Why. Victoria nooooo it's going to be so brittle you are going to have so much breakage and split ends
hey so it's finals week and I have done nothing but fuck around for three days please send affirmations

I haven't read all of them myself, but the few I did were always worthwhile and interesting, so I thought I'd index them here for anyone who hasn't heard of them or checked them out. As I recall, these were written by Megafire as the chapters were coming out.
