Yep – Dog Black the Black Dog, friend of Wolf Wolf the Werewolf. Though to be fair, unlike Remus, Sirius decided on the animal he’d turn into himself, so it’s possible that he did this on purpose. But yeah, Sirius as a name for a dog is fairly normal, I think. I wouldn’t have given it […]

Yeah, parahumans are way too varied to not do it on a case by case basis. In fact, it almost seems like the majority of parahumans have unique powers – though there are plenty of parahumans carrying some of the most common powers, such as the Standard Alexandria Package (SAP), forcefields or super speed, there’s usually […]

This is one of the reasons I was somewhat uncomfortable with unambiguously calling it rape in the first place. I mean, of course what Heartbreaker is doing is rape, but what about someone in this situation? Someone who didn’t cause the change, and hell, might not even know about it? That’s a whole lot more […]

Exactly! The case described in part 1 is not rape, but it’s still a form of… enslavement, I suppose. Still terrible in its own right. And then there’s the case in part 2, in which the power dynamic is so skewed that it’s considered rape pretty much by default. That also ties in with emotional […]

The drug comparison is yet another reason why I asked the question in the first place. If you look at it more like being under the effects of the drug at all times, the victim is not in a proper state to give consent, and under all laws I’m familiar with, having sex with a […]

Hmm, yeah, that first thing is a very good point. As far as the court is concerned, she meant to do what she did – though the jury did conclude that she did not mean for it to be lethal, which it fortunately wasn’t – and so the sentence must be interpreted from that basis. […]

Another really cool piece of Inktober fanart by @apfii, this time for a similarly cool dude! It… kind of gives me a Peter Pan vibe, actually. I think it’s due to a combination of the pose and the facial features. Honestly, that’s kind of fitting for Newter’s character. Other than that, I really like the […]

(separate anons) Yeah, fair enough. Sharks also mentioned that first thing after my first response on this topic. Reminders in general are fine – might want to keep it a little vaguer, maybe (for example, pointing out the evidence instead of going directly to the conclusion), but in retrospect, this wasn’t really spoilery. That said, […]
