(It’s not like I’m innocent of that kind of avoidance myself. I haven’t made a clear-cut spoiler policy for Minda, which gives me a freer range to make decisions based on more than what’s “technically a spoiler” or “technically not a spoiler” without people complaining. I don’t know if Sharks has made a public spoiler policy, but he has the same freedom as far as I’m concerned.)

Ahh, “the spirit of the game”, what a wonderful phrase to avoid having to specify exactly what you mean while writing the rules. 😉
Ohhh, right. That’s also how she was able to sneak up on Taylor to whack her. …it’s been a while. It’s been over six months since Panacea knocked Taylor out at the bank robbery.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that. The question makes a lot more sense now. Re: already knowing the real reason, I don’t remember that either, but I suppose it has to do with the proximity to the brain and her hangups around manipulating someone’s brain or putting them at risk of brain damage?
And on top of all that, she’s probably been running back and forth healing for a couple hours. That’s probably been quite exhausting, though judging by Interlude 3, that part’s not that different from business as usual. Also, I’m fairly sure her dad’s dead too, for that matter. So yeah, you’re right, it’s not exactly the […]
Huh, nice. I’ve seen the video around in recommendations from other videos I’ve watched, but I haven’t watched it because I figured I might read Act Omega at some point and should start from the very beginning, but never got around to it. Let’s take a look… (…jeez, MSPFA is slow to load images today… […]
Hehe. Sorry to have disappointed the two of you, but I’m glad you’re enjoying the liveblog in general! Also, to be fair, figuring it out moments before the confirmation isn’t that impressive in this case, I think. It’s not like Taylor knows all that many girls that are relevant enough to her to make her break down […]
Yeah, at this point, it’s looking like that’s going to be a necessity. Some of my recent ask sessions have wound up almost as long as the liveblog sessions, though less work-intensive. That said, that will lead to a reduction of liveblog frequency. I still need my off-days, and asks are becoming less of a […]
Chances I’m going to stop calling it a “worm thingy” when I do find out what its deal is, provided I remember the spoilage: Low.
So someone just forgot they were talking to a Worm liveblogger and briefly brought up a potential Homestuck-Worm parallel in Minda’s main chat.
(I’d normally have a screenshot for this kind of thing, but I had to immediately delete it because it was spoilers for Minda too.)
What I learned amounts to that there’s some kind of giant “worm thingy” that may or may not have space/time powers and be indestructible.
As usual, I’ll try to avoid speculating on too much on spoilers, but my immediate thoughts are a) that this might be Behemoth, though the space/time powers are probably not relevant to him, and/or b) that this could be relevant enough to be the real reason the story is called Worm.
I’m sorry to say that the crack was widened a bit: A well-meaning fan began to complain at me over Discord about people who are careless with spoilers, but wound up indicating things about how important this spoiler and the one about shards were and when in the story they become relevant.
Apparently the worm thingy doesn’t become relevant until late in the story, but some people had started correctly theorizing about it not that long after the point I’m at. Similarly, the shards are a late thing.
On a more humorous note: After sharing screenshots of this person’s rant with Sharks, he told me that someone had just sent him an ask reminding him to not pass on any asks about, well, that. Irony at its finest and most frustrating. 😛
