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.

Funny how the comments on who the Simurgh hit made me want to comment. But then it's so easy to go political, and that's no fun.
So, well, stroke of genius from Snuts for that number to sow the seed of doubt and inflame the trolls about jewish genocide, and, just like with statistics, the...
You forget that the Fairy Queen was originally not on humanity's side. Giving her Eidolon's power is giving even more power to someone that is likely to choose to restore the Cycle.
Leviathan will be easy toast I think. Fix it in place, Behemoth-felling strikes and/or Siberian body, done. Just have to make sure she doesn't get exploded from the inside because water.
The Simurgh is.... weird. She's been almost nice to Taylor up to now, and anyway Taylor isn't precog proof...
Making everything a Simurgh plot (or a Contessa plot) is bad writing. You don't need a Simurgh plot to explain being caught by a Khonsu field when fighting Khonsu AND being a credible threat to it.
The point is undecidable without a Simmy pov or WoG anyway, which I doubt we'll get.
Nice! A few things I'm wondering about and hope to see clarified in the next chapters:
Where did she see that shielding power from Khonsu?
What did she learn from her meditation? (Did her Essence level increase or was it already at 5?)
Is her decades long meditation spree in vain now that...
You don't seem to like Accord very much! There are explanations for his issues, though. The mania from his power, the fact that some humans just aren't rational and can't be convinced to listen and think (with that plus his mania, it's really no wonder how selective he is with his minions), the...
Why am I feeling nervous for Taylor and her overinflated ego? After all, it's not as if Codex, who inflicts permanent brain damage to people in order to get temporary boosts, just used her power on front of Taylor. And it's not as if she's in front of one of the most dangerous Thinkers in...
Ooh! Now I want to try guessing the right parts.
Not certain on the Simurgh part, but if she does become a Simurgh cultist, it'd be more in the "I'm fucking scared of her" kind of way. She definitely wants revenge on Leviathan, but the Simurgh hasn't given her a reason to be killed, and every...
Taylor's power is quite useless in the context of an Endbringer fight, unless Tohu has a way to copy powers at a frightening pace.
I think a Cody/Eidolon/Mama Mathers combo would be much more frightening, especially if the time reset could be used to cancel the effect of Taylor's attacks.
(As a...
Aww, you do care! I was starting to wonder, with making us hope for a good ending for the Dragonslayers, and not even waiting for the next day to ruthlessly crush them.
(Just kidding. Keep crushing hopes, that's awesome)
Yum-yum \o/
Although, doesn't having Taylor dead kind of ruin...
But then, how can she create a sufficiently adult mind to be a comforting mother? That requires maturity, experience of the outside world, interaction with people. Heck, even learning to talk takes years.
I don't see how she could create more than pets without learning the nitty gritty of human...
I see your point.
Still, a possibly problem: the S9 encounter happened differently than in canon. Bonesaw never got to Panacea before she cracked.
She never changed brains.
So, while she's definitely gotten over her "no doing anything else than healing" to go full "eldritch abominations"...
I'm not expressing myself correctly, sorry.
Yes. Having children and treating them as their own person is fine.
I was more thinking along the line of: make children or minions, give them the faces of your family, teach them to behave more or less like your family used to, and then convince...
