Remember that fanart you got of Weld listening to music while wearing a jersey with the number 53? Makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Yeah, I remember that well. Not gonna lie, that piece of art definitely contributed to my desire to know more about Weld, even though I was aware (an became more aware as Arc 8 continued on, especially after Shielder died) that it might not be based on any canon knowledge of his personality and interests.

I really appreciate that “casual Weld” turned out to be an accurate representation of his personality.

(That’s one of the ways he contrasts with Taylor, by the way. Taylor is anything but casual.)

Alabaster and Crusader were Purity’s other subordinates. Alabaster’s stuck in time thanks to Leviathan and a Bakuda bomb, so Crusader’s the fourth one with Purity.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense.

So Crusader is classified as a Master 6. Looking back, his power was making ethereal copies of himself… I suppose it’s reasonable that controlling those would qualify as a Master power.

“Back when you were either a hero or not a hero, I suppose.” *Spits off the back porch while sitting in an old creaky rocker.* I tell you what boy, I miss those good old days when the heroes were heroes and the villains were villains.

These days, in this story, it’s not that easy anymore… whippersnappers.

“Yes, I’m absolutely implying corporations in the U.S. have way more power over the government than is healthy. At least that’s how it looks from over here.” It looks that way from the inside too, but as long as 27% of the population is convinced that any alternative would inevitably lead to bread lines, Death Panels, the thousand-year reign of the Antichrist, and (worst of all) fluoridated water, the rest of us will just have to suffer while evils are sufferable.

Dammit, people.

Since our PoV character for this chapter is Weld, that adds a new dimension to the jokes about metal detectors he was glad not to have to endure.

Hah, yeah! That line makes a lot more sense now.

…I wonder if Hookwolf had trouble getting through airport security pre-Buzz. Unlike Weld, his metal biology isn’t immediately apparent on sight, and he presumably used to have a secret identity (wait, did he wear any sort of mask when we last saw him? I don’t remember, but that was also after his identity went public anyway). He couldn’t exactly reveal his secret to the security staff, either, being a known murderous villain.

“There’s people going fucking crazy out there, and you’re talking training.” This reminded me of Allen Iverson’s rant about basketball practice. It’s on YouTube, and you should look it up. (I’d link it, but I don’t know how asks handle links.) 

“we talkin’ about practice, man”

Hah, yeah, I can absolutely see why the line reminds you of this. 😛

(For the record, Tumblr won’t let you send anything it recognizes as a link through an ask. However, sending links with the dots replaced with spaces or asterisks is not uncommon. Also, submissions do allow links.)

For the record, the 12 classifications in Weld’s rhyme are currently all that the PRT recognizes for classifying Parahumans. There were previously more, but apparently, over time, they were collapsed into the other classes to simplify things. “Shifter” is the most recent collapsed category, having been combined only slightly before the events of Worm’s first chapter; anyone previously classed as a “Shifter” is now rated as a “Changer”. The paperwork’s just not all up to date yet.

Ahh, I see, that makes sense.

Merry Christmas Krix! Hope you have a great rest of the year!

Thank you, and the same to all of you! 😀

(Or happy whichever other holiday you prefer to celebrate around this time, or even happy no-holiday if there is none!)

Aaron submitted an updated map of Brockton Bay as of Arc 8, presumably still by Ridprime! I’ve included the previous map on the left for comparison. I really appreciate that the destruction caused by Leviathan is visible not only in the forms of the Leviathan Crater (or Lake Heroic, as I’ve dubbed it for now) and a […]
