Wow. Wow. That was amazing. I was able to figure out who most of the people were from the descriptions, too, which is pretty amazing in and of itself and a testament to Wildbow because he's created so many different characters. I thought maybe the guy with the rods that pinned her neck? was Trickster at first before I understood what he was doing. Also, Trickster was killed last chapter. *moment of silence* I'm not sure who the rods guy was. I LOVE that Imp was doggedly following Taylor around, helping her out. Glastig is a terrible person, I can't believe she killed poor Doormaker right after he got the ability to talk, poor guy.

Blinks77 posted:I think it was a case of Glaistig being more than aware that her objective of simply putting him to sleep wasn't viable anymore. She'd lost and knew it Glaistig made Taylor take control of each of her ghosts individually. Maybe she couldn't shut the gates or disintegrate Taylor because the manifestations of her power were under Taylor's control.

Parian as transportation and defense, and Foil with her power. And, of course, Imp hovering like a guardian angel, esp. funny given her cape name! quote:Glastig is a terrible person, I can't believe she killed poor Doormaker right after he got the ability to talk, poor guy. Although his shard juice was out. Without her to kill him and use his powers as a spirit, everyone would have died when Scion did his golden enrage power thing.

Man I feel bad for Bitch and Tattletale. How loving terrible is it to see your former teammate/leader burn her humanity away like that

I really hope the Simurghs gun is going to be important somehow in the last chapter, because right now it makes no sense for her to have even built it.

Hawkgirl posted:I kind of get it but I need someone to walk me through it. Oliver was important because he drank half a potion, right? Did he drink the other half of Noelle's thing? I forget. Anyhow, he drank the "balance" half, and that makes him like the entity because...I can't quite put it together. Because his appearance and identity changes on some variable that I can't decipher? That made him seem like the partner entity to Scion? berenzen posted:And to think this all started with a girl getting shoved into a locker full of used tampons. Come to think of it, she did that. Pretty much exactly that, right back at Scion.

Fuuuuck, that is so  the first few chapters REALLY got to me because of the bullying, and that makes me depressed D:Astonishingly good chapter, though.

hollylolly posted:I'm not sure who the rods guy was. I don't remember if his name was Sifara like someone said, but it's the guy who connects two things together so that when one moves, the other moves with it. He connected capes to Khonsu so that when it teleported they were taken along, and connected everyone to that rock or orb or whatever and then when it was turned the people spun like the rim of a big wheel.

A nice touch is that while she can't communicate with then anymore, it's still very much an Undersider style operation in the end. Tattletale coordinating the efforts, Taylor gathering information on an immense scale and handling the frontline tactics, Imp providing the right nudge at the right places. They don't NEED to talk, they just work together regardless.

I feel conflicted, I want Taylor to get better but at the same time it would be pretty contrived for all this poo poo to happen to her and then she goes back to normal in the final chapter.

Anyway, just wanted give give a hearty "gently caress You!" to whichever inconsiderate rear end in a top hat drive-by-linked Worm in the Dresden Files thread ages ago. Now I've spent god only knows how much time reading half a trillion words and compulsively hammering f5 on update nights.

No you see more women have super powers in the wormverse than men do, ergo he's a feminist or he's a lady!. Ain't got nothing to do with oppression, nope, nothing, please ignore the huge numbers of minority and third world capes over there, nothing to see.

    And http://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/1p92nq/speck_306/ There's also a rant about how Scion is really taylor in the future and how tattletale is really eden, but it was too long to screencap. Just do a search for user Node in the comments section and you should find it.

Someone posted it in the Brandon Sanderson thread about the upcoming Steelheart book, and I ended up spending a week binging Worm. And then afterwards, I felt like Steelheart was good and all, but fell a bit flat after reading Worm(Not that they can be compared when Worm is massive).

I think the thing I love about Worm is that the story is so interconnected. If something or someone is mentioned it's probably important and will come up again. Even the Travelers showed up again for the finale.

New chapter is up! Sweet gently caress, this has been intense. Thank you for getting me to read it. Looks like Taylor got an ending, even if "happy" as a concept is beyond her now

Wow. Just.. Wow. That was a hell of an ending for Taylor- as much as I love the character, I'm very much glad that they didn't go for redemption, or rehabilitation.

I saw this thread a few weeks ago. A week ago, I decided to start reading. Today, I came to the second last chapter. Disappointed, I got up from my chair to grab a drink. I sat down again, hit refresh, and the final update was there. I will never be so lucky again. That was a really good book. Taylor's descent into madness was amazing to read, and the final chapters were great payoff to the entire story. I can't help but think that the gunshot at the end is a fakeout. Could be wishful thinking though. It was a great end either way.
