hey guys why are you building a gi
so called "free thinkers" when khepri
Ok the part about tinkers and steampunk got me thinking what would tinkers do in like medieval times or like hunter gatherer times. Like I know in scions interlude it talks about Earth being the ideal time for powers in early 2000s and I guess this is why. Also for 1800s would there just be a tinker with a regular modern day pistol?
Worm but it takes place during a cicada year and/or in the 1800s when there were mile long swarms of locusts or just like have a tinker genetic engineer locusts back into existence
Taylor really deserved the name Pestilence and this is exactly why.
also, I would highly dig an 1800’s au. like, imagine: the undersiders are a merry band of outlaws and they pull off the bank robbery like a classic wild west holdup. Foil would be an Annie Oakley-style sharpshooter. I wonder how the tinkers would operate without advanced tech? steam-powered machinery, obviously. this is now an 1800’s steampunk western worm au

I had a talk with the guys at work about the sheer amount of superhero media available right now, and one of them came up with the idea of "Post-Marvel".
I like a lot of the MCU, but after all this time it's become repetitive. They give a somewhat grounded depiction, but it's still played pretty straight.
What draws me in now isn't superheroes played straight. It's superheroes deconstructed, new concepts explored, not the massive franchise-building heavyweights that have been around for decades.
Worm is set in a world where powers develop after traumatic experience. Naturally, there are way more villains than heroes, and the main character ends up becoming a villain just because she was that desperate for friends.
The Boys is a scathing critique of corporations and celebrity worship. The heroes work for money, so they get merchandising deals, ad campaigns, and good enough PR and Legal that they can literally get away with murder.
Invincible is more loving, but it doesn't shy away from showing how brutal things can get when superpowers are in the mix.
Dreadnought is a great book that shows a lot of nuance in the morals, and the sequel Sovereign is very vocal about how mainstream media rarely accept minorities unless its something they can catch a ride off.
I still love superheroes. I just want something besides Marvel.
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

its a shame how ryoko kui managed to make a series with such a realistic portrayal of sistemic and internalized racism only for people to have it fly over their heads and go 'x character is racist!! how dare you like them!!!' when like. literally every single character has said something racist. your blorbo is racist. my blorbo is racist.
marcille hates orcs. kabru has dehumanized kobolds. mithrun said a slur. laios and falin treat mountain people like savages. analyse these traits meaningfully or perish
