    Well, probably. After all, he did more-or-less try to live his whole life as a reference to Siddhārtha Gautama, the man who made the smug contentment of knowing a religious.

    I rarely cry at sad. I always cry at epic / amazing / awe-inspiring. And when something happens that means "And the world moves to follow the pattern the characters create". Needless to say, I had to wait to get to my computer to write this, since my tablet is too soaked with tears of awe to...

    And I really love the naming of this Entity. They are the people who took the real and made it magical, mythical, legendary. Just as they reinvented themselves as gods, they reinvented a place-being of the past as one of myth. It fits perfectly, and I can't believe that we didn't see this...

    It's funny, because it was more different that just depressing to me. It felt like the counterpoint to Worm's "a billion dead is horrible" story, in that things turned out alright for humanity overall and badly for Taylor than the other way around (which is what Worm itself sort of did). This...

    Interesting thought. Maybe Rapture sees the same problem as Lisa, but sees a different part of it as a problem.

    I feel a sudden sympathy for Lisa, mainly through Rapture, since Rapture is basically the Best End for Lisa, except that she was more blatently evil at time and got a more direct intervention from someone with a better-defined sense of morality (not particularly a better one, just a more...

    We need to get Akaihana and Ingenue in the same room, STAT! Either they'll have a major power interaction (one can copy others' powers completely, and the other can alter powers), or they'll provide the ultimate dirty joke fuel, which Zach will use in combination with his "secret" Thinker power...

    So here's a link the part of Silencio that has the "What should Amelia and Taylor wear?" debate (at least 5 pages, including suits). Because everything old is new again, especially ridiculously discussions of Taylor and Amy's clothing choices for significant romantic events that require them to...

    It's funny, the Anubis-like aspects are what made it the most horrible to me: Pantheon has escalated far enough that what would be an Endbringer in and of itself in another story is just an Endbringer's mook here. Also, the people are still alive, aware, and in control of their own faces enough...

    I have to say that Alexandria/Lisa chapters are some of the best. They are by far the most immersive chapters, where I really feel like I'm seeing from the perspective of the viewpoint character, and find myself barely reading the actual dialogue partway through the chapter, just as I image the...

    It's funny, if I didn't know better I would think that the Imposter-Emperor was one of Heartbreaker's kids, what with the mentions of Canada in the last chapter (possibly as foreshadowing?), and since his/her motivation is the exact same as Regent's. Would be an interesting, if not completely...

    It's amazing how even Coil is living the dream. Sure it's intense, hard work, but I have no doubt that his current role is almost exactly what he was hoping for with his own smaller schemes. Sure, there's no precog tied up in his basement, and he doesn't get to flex his power as much (or at...

    Seconded on all of this. Also, it's really great when you have characters see / read / otherwise absorb a narrative (book / movie / play / whatever) that mirror their situation, and I'm glad you chose the Glass Menagerie for this. Because it embodies those three different characters in different...

    Do you have some sort of superbreath? Except, instead of ice breath, you fill the air with pure cuteness and feels. Also, the snow started the first weekend after the latest chapter of Copacetic was posted. So it's like the weather is going "No Copacetic? Well then, we'll have snow this...

    Avalon's constitution is amazing! This seems particularly well-designed, with fairly simple language and completely reasonable propositions, which means that it probably will take an hour more than usual for people to start finding flaws in it. Metric is a pretty good system. And given that...

    Or maybe it's their new codename for Nilbog? Because of the way he stays in a single place and believes himself to be a god-king? Alternatively, it's the name for their Groot / Ent (mobile form of the Yggdrasil), because Amy misheard when Taylor wanted an army of giant ants, and now they don't...

    Ah, Missy, irony is sweet and turnabout is painful. Now she's in the position of being the girlfriend, and having a different one of her teammate crushing on her boyfriend. Hope she's figured out a better solution to the problem than Victoria did (which is "blast them with mind-altering powers...

    That is exactly correct, thank you for saying so. I don't know where either of you got the idea that the Eden-Shard powers come from anyone but Cauldron. It's very specifically stated in canon that both of these cases (The Travelers and Skidmark) are cases of someone who was not supposed to...

    Then it sounds like a wonderfully original and well-developed story in the animism sub-genre. Something that I've never seen before in modern fantasy. Good on you. Ah, English, you're so frustrating sometimes. What I meant to say was that as long as you have history for about a century before...

    This is only tangentially related, but I can totally imagine Carol squeeing when Amelia makes her Attorney General of Avalon, only to find herself having to write a new set of contract and tort law from scratch. And watching Carol Dallon and Allen Barnes fight it out over the laws of either all...
