“in her civvies” Which also happen to be her skivvies. Might be best if no one showed up.

True that. Imagine the teasing Regent would get up to, for instance!

I’m going through the backlog catching up, and you mention putting trigger warnings in the relevant posts. I feel like there’s a lot of trigger-worthy stuff in Worm – people make the joke, but I’m pretty sure that it’s a deliberate naming coincidence. And as you said, people might stumble on these posts by accident for a number of reasons. Is there an effective “Trigger Warning: Everything” tag that’s used frequently on tumblr? If so, I think you should use that tag regularly, over any others.

I don’t think so, unfortunately.

Also, if you mean the joke about trigger warnings and trigger events, yeah, that’s probably not a coincidence. After all, trigger events do tend towards being the sort of scenario that’ll lead to someone having genuine PTSD triggers, phobias, etc. (It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Taylor turned out to be claustrophobic, for example.)

Risqué abstract chicken art? Check out “Thunderheist- Jerk It” (thatg0) on YouTube. (Content warning: strobe effects. And of course risqué abstract chicken art.)

Sharks: He is NOT kidding about the strobe effects.

Huh. Well, that was… something, alright.

I guess that’s abstract art for ya.

Regarding nightmares vs terror dreams- I’ve never heard of the second one either, but I have heard of night terrors, which are distinct from nightmares in that night terrors do not occur within rem sleep and so don’t involve any sort of dream, and instead just involve an intense feeling of dread. If “terror dreams” is a synonym for night terrors, then it’s something of a misnomer, and Taylor’s dream is a nightmare.

Oh, huh. That’s interesting!

Before you ask, I don’t know of any fics where Danny is actually Coil, though I do know one where Coil makes the PRT think Danny is Coil

You know me well – I didn’t mention it, but I did think about the fanfic potential of that premise. I’m genuinely surprised to hear you don’t know of any.

I mean, sure, it requires some bending of characterizations to make it work, but still.

New fanfic idea: Taylor reads Worm – well, more importantly, the interludes – so she’d know about stuff like the way Coil uses his power.

Hm, nice. There seem to be a few ways you could go about it… Does Taylor read in real time and adjust her actions to what she learns in the Interludes? Or does she liveblog her own story, Interludes included, after the fact?
