I was catching up with a friend and told him about Worm, and he said "oh, some of my friends had to read that for a class they took"
???
I tried to clarify. "There are two webcomics called worm, are you sure it wasn't one of those?" And he said "yeah, it has superheroes right? My roommate hated it, she read it out loud to me, I remember the main character being on public transit?" I asked if she was in a sundress and he said yes.
So to be clear. There is a professor in Florida who is making their students read *the entirety* of worm for a freshman media studies class.
I polished both my Taylor design and Lisa's.
As you may have noticed I like giving characters clothing that reflects the larger world around them... I also think Lisa would wear a shirt of their rivals as a mocking gesture :9
Bonus: Skitter.
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.
Worm? Worm.
themes and such
Shit man, this parahuman war is fucked. just saw a guy slam back a Cauldron vial and say "sample F-one-six-one-one 'Deus'" or some similar shit, and summon an invulnerable naked projection of his dead daughter that proceed to eat a man alive. The camera didn’t even go onto him, that’s how common shit like this is. My ass is out here controlling insects. think I just heard “path to victory" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.
If Gold Morning happened in today’s internet culture the slander would be insane
