Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Coil is one of those hypocrites who gets really, really mad when other people do to him what he constantly does to them. And lacks the self criticism to even realize it.
Which is a good explanation for them, but rather falls flat with written works for which the term "special effects budget" is meaningless. Really, I like fanfic that takes advantage of the fact that it's not constrained that way and adds in all the cool non-humanoid aliens that a TV show or...
If one presumes an infinite universe - not even a multiverse - then there are an infinite number of copies of you. As well as infinite near-copies of you with slight variations. If an infinite multiverse exists then there's even more infinities of you.
It's funny that not only does Coil have no intention of actually cutting his losses and staying away from Tattletale, but he's so predictable about it that everyone involved just knows he'll do that.
Correct. But that was written around nine years ago (wow), so @Ack apparently forgot.
Fortunately him personally being alive isn't of particular importance to the plot so just a little rewrite will fix it.
It's good that Cherie appears to have recovered enough from her experiences under Heartbreaker's thumb that she has more than a flinch reflex response to sexual attraction.
Hmmm. Glory Girl's power, PtE, Vista's power, Dragon's power and Damsel's power. I wonder if there's any significance to the "punctured cylinder" on Dragon's power avatar?
Considering the kind of collateral damage Scion tends to do, an epic battle would be something she'd avoid; Scion laying waste to Earth Bet would be bad for Brockton Bay after all. Plus, he's got the advantage in raw force even if she gathers up a bunch of other Parahumans for support. He's the...
I actually sympathize with Armsmaster; I hate having to sleep too. Unfortunately for him I'm pretty sure that whatever brain function add-on lets them stay awake indefinitely is handled by Taylor's Shard and is simply inaccessible, so studying the Awakened probably wouldn't get much more of a...
Outside of him leaving the Triumvirate basically no details in-story.
However in (I think) the Spacebattles story thread it was stated that since he wasn't dealing with the trauma of Hero's death in this timeline he paid more attention and caught on to the darker parts of what Cauldron was...
Being a predator is high risk/reward, they tend to default to being cautious.
And a "self described apex predator" - a being aware of their status and able to think about it - is going to be unused to facing actual threats and challenges. Heck, look at how much human fiction is about monsters...
The latter likely wouldn't work, her Shard would just count that as death and transfer to some other Parahuman. The former on the other hand might work.
That fits given that she was arrogant enough to court getting Butchered in the first place. If ego had gravity she'd be a black hole of self...
More of March's arrogance making her act stupid (it fits her personality yes, but still...) She's ignoring that if she dies and someone else becomes Butcher she won't be in the driver's seat even as much as she is now; she'll just be one "voice" among many. But even more so she's ignoring that...
Heh, screwed over by arrogance; if March!Butcher hadn't been so high on "I'm invincible!" nailing her like that would have been far harder. It's awful hard to grab somebody with a teleport power if they actually try to stay away from you after all.
Kind of ironic given that her original success...
Also, it was in part his own fault, not mere bad luck. As I said after that chapter it's an innate risk of his practice of using "safe" and "throwaway" timelines that at some point he'll guess wrong and disaster will strike in the supposedly safe timeline. Heck, at least it wasn't a fatal...
