Have you heard of this Ladybug/Worm tone-swap by tumblr user Pabel and Nine? I remember you saying you were a fan of Ladybug at some point. It doesn’t spoil anything for Worm you haven’t already reached.

That sounds awesome and ridiculous. 😛

The cuteness, shipping fuel and banter of Miraculous Ladybug applied to the characters and setting of Worm… the gritty gray and black morality of Worm applied to the characters and setting of Miraculous Ladybug… I’ll admit I’m more interested in the former half, but the whole thing sounds great.

I can’t actually go to Pabel and Nine’s blog, due to spoilers, but if I could I’d definitely go there to check this out. 🙂

Also, the person who introduced me to Worm used “#Panacea needs a hug and a Starbucks gift card” as his Worm tag.

Ahaha, that’s very appropriate. 😛

All the hugs for Panacea!

“Ah, yes, Guts and Glory. Had that been released to the public before this reveal made it into Worm?” I don’t think so. He posted it (and several other drafts) on his blog during the gap between Worm and Pact. You should definitely read them after you finish Worm.

Ah, okay. Makes sense to post the drafts after the full work, to ensure they don’t spoil anything.

And yeah, the drafts sound very interesting to read between Worm and Ward. 🙂

Post-bank robbery, what Gallant actually said was “Does this have anything to do with your strong feelings for me?” He was referring to her distaste. He knew what was really going on, but the whole mess with Bakuda, the Empire, and Leviathan distracted him. His last thoughts as he realized Leviathan’s wave was about to kill him was regret that he hadn’t done more to help Amy.

A closer reading reveals that Gallant *doesn’t* think Panacea loves him—that’s just how readers are supposed to interpret it. He only references strong feelings on Amy’s part, but never actually says what they are. Rather than romantic feelings, he was probably picking up on jealousy or hatred. 

Ehhh. I could see it, but if that was the case, he worded himself badly. Having strong feelings for someone is very different from having strong feelings about someone.

I think I prefer the interpretation that he was picking up on the love for Glory Girl that caused the distaste, rather than the distaste itself, because it was a stronger emotion, and assumed it was directed at him because it tended to come to the forefront when she was around him specifically.

To kick off today’s asks, we’ve got some content from @incorrect-wormquotes, sent in by cedeelbe:

Skitter: Does this feel like a nightmare?
Skitter: Like something out of a bad dream?
Skitter: Because that’s the effect I was going for.

She’s quite skilled at that. 😛

(Under. The eyelids.)

Imp: [In Skitter’s chair in her lair] Hey, look at me, I’m Skitter!
Tattletale: She doesn’t generally spin that much.

Imp: Right. This is Skitter: “Oh, no, I can’t do anything fun tonight. I have to count my past sins, then alphabetize them. Oh, by the way, I’m thinking of snapping on Friday." 

Ahaha!

Sounds like Imp knows Skitter rather well. 😉

So, about Amy’s interlude… Yeah, fuck off Vicky. I get that you wanted an explanation, I get that you were worried about your sister (emphasis on ‘were’), but if the person with touch-based absolute, near-subconscious control of biology tells you she’s not in a stable frame of mind so you shouldn’t touch her, then you don’t get to get away with blaming Amy for the consequences. No way, no how. Not with your aura probably worsening the whole situation on top of that.

Yeeeah. Amy did warn her, and it’s not like Victoria wasn’t fully aware of Amy’s power.

To be fair, Victoria may have momentarily forgotten about the power and interpreted it the same way I did at first – as essentially “don’t try to comfort me, let me go, don’t make this harder for me via physical contact”. But even under that interpretation, she disrespected Amy’s request personal space in the moment.

I’ve been waiting for you to get to 11.h basically since you started. That reveal at the end is probably my favorite moment in anything, ever. I never saw it coming, yet in retrospect it makes everything click into place perfectly. Plus it’s just extremely tragic. Where do you think Amy’s story is going to go from here? Would she ever join the S9, even having lost basically everything?

Reveals that you don’t see coming but that make perfect sense with all the foreshadowing are the best kind!

I don’t think Amy knows where she’s going herself. On top of that, she’s going to be a target for the Slaughterhouse Nine, and Cherish can help them keep track of her movements.

There’s a good chance she’ll get in trouble pretty quickly.

I don’t think she’ll end up in the S9, but she will continue to be troubled by her growing resemblance to her father. If she survives the trials, she’ll need to find a new place to stay. Maybe she’ll join the Wards? Except she knows Victoria is considering that, so that might be a bad idea.

I would expect this one more from fanfics than canon, but it’d be pretty fun if she somehow ended up joining the Undersiders. 😛

Now the question is, would Mark really have been so forgiving and understanding? Or did Amy do that subconsciously? We can never really be sure, and I think that’s the most terrifying part of Amy’s power.

Hmm. I got the vague impression that he was forgiving and understanding even before Amy healed him, but we know she’d been healing little things for him. So the next question becomes whether she would be liable to accidentally do something like that before Bonesaw forced her, without noticing it herself.

But yes, it is possible.

“So it’s Glory Girl up in the sky, then. Excellent. I like their dynamic and Victoria is the one Amy felt closest to and whose rejection she took the hardest.” Where to begin…

Hehehe, yeah. Their conversation did fulfill part of what made me say this, though: It was very interesting.

krixwell-liveblogs:

Panacea’s power *definitely* doesn’t work on herself, and I’m pretty sure this has already been made clear; it’d be hella fucking overpowered if it did.

Hm, I suppose it would be. Good point.

While making my way to the relevant portion of Interlude 3 for the previous post, I came across confirmation of this.
