Skippy McPants posted:I was also surprised to see Grue get put out to pasture. It makes some sense considering what he's been through, but it isn't too often you see major characters get taken down by PTSD. It's something of a special situation. He's been heading down this road ever since Bonesaw turned him into a one-man meat locker.

K Prime posted:Random stupid ideas that pop into my head: I'm going to be disappointed if this isn't brought up, like how they eventually explained the origin of the unfortunate Assault & Battery name pairing  With other odd thoughts, am I the only one who's just a little bit happy that Canary got let out of the Birdcage? Of course, I just caught up, so it's fresh, but I was thinking, while they were letting folks out "I hope they're going to let out that poor girl who got indefinite detention in Hell because her powers went cuckoo."

Lord_Pigeonbane posted:This wasn't recent, but why was Taylor able to shoot Jack when they were at the school? Well, they've mentioned that when two clairvoyants fight, their powers cancel out, so it might be a similar, though lesser effect because their shard-related powers don't perfectly align. Or maybe Jack was just loving with her because he knew the mesh would catch the bullet.

TOOT BOOT posted:I'm not sure powers coming from Zion was ever the biggest secret in the world. I kinda thought that might be the case when Zion was first talked about in the first couple arcs. He shows up before anyone in the world has superpowers, floating in the middle of the ocean, the terminally ill guy on the ship touches him and becomes one of the first of many capes, etc. You would think someone in-universe would have guessed at it. It was offered as one of the in-universe theories pre-freakout. One of the weaknesses given for the theory was that they couldn't establish a chain of "infection" for powers from contact with Scion in a number of cases.

"I turned my attention to Scion" And he turned to Taylor and said "Where have you been all my life you absolutely ravishing assortment of shards, you!" Not sure what the practical difference is between her and one of the entities is now because she has essentially formed a new one, minus the mountain of extradimensional flesh, but hey, there's still time.

Skippy McPants posted:Yeah, the more I think about it... Ending a chapter (or whatever you call these sections) earlier would have been better if she's actually dead. She's used up everything of herself in the fight; her body is failing, her ability to communicate is long gone and her mind is fading. With Scion gone it seemed like that was the last thing holding her together.

NecroMonster posted:And it does it while being so much better written as well. Gurm is such a loving hack. And having a production rate that puts any writer (let alone Martin) whose name doesn't rhyme with Sandon Branderson to shame.

I'm going to be optimistic and say that the bad triggers are due to Scion's shards getting loose and not because the whole process is broken or something.

I suppose it all depends on how many shards the Fairy Queen nabbed--I wonder if they still mature and split off while she uses them? But nevertheless, the plan still had them basically releasing all the shards and just waiting for a few centuries. They would manipulate events (as per Eden's vision) but it seems that the shard maturation process largely maintains itself.

NecroMonster posted:You didn't miss anything. I figure it's almost certain with the comments about the thing's appearance. It's pretty consistent with Eidelon's descriptions as below average, disappointing, stuff about his nose and ears and so on.

NecroMonster posted:On the other hand she receives no great absolution, she is left to deal with the things she's done, and with the things she can no-longer do. Once again, Taylor has to deal with the consequences of her actions, and the actions of others the best she can. That's not exactly the salvation I deep down wished for, but it is a HELL of an appropriate ending for this work. I imagine the worst part is that after relying on her powers for so long, it's like being half blind, not being able to rely on insects to feel out her surroundings for her.

TOOT BOOT posted:Wildbow says he's going to redo the timeskip area when he's editing it. This is what I'm most exciting about. That will get filled out and the content in general will be evened out and like Skippy said, giving it some parity with how at the beginning so much happens over like three weeks. All that, if Wildbow follows through, will ensure that I buy when Worm goes to print.
