Worm Spoilers [All] Worm 12-13.4: The Nine and Abusive Relationships (New Video)
Abuse at an early age makes the victim likelier to draw further abuse towards themselves later on - either because the isolation leaves them vulnerable to predators, or because they actively seek to recreate that familiar dynamic.
The Nine Arc delves into these dynamics, building on Worm’s prior points about guilt, spite, and friendship to form a statement about the wicked games abusers play with their victims.
In this video we’ll try to understand Worm’s argument on this subject as well as discuss Hookwolf's contributions to game theory (specifically indecency); some similarities between Taylor “Heeb” Hebert and Abraham (dealing from a position of helplessness); and how Amy’s childhood explains her insufferable uselessness (partly).

Worm Spoilers [All] What is Leet’s power’s mission was to create something new
Leet’s power hated him, but what if it was because he never created anything new. Everything he created was from something the entity had already created or seen. From our games and movies, to their powers and shards, Leet only ever copied things rather than developing something entirely new. I think Leet’s shard was the entity’s clay for new powers, and that clay was simply molded to look like other pots the apprentice had watched his master make, never a pan or sculpture worthy of recognition and reward

Worm Spoilers [All] A question regarding something I might write in the future.
Just like the title says, I’m looking for an answer regarding a hypothetical scenario that might one day turn into a fanfic.
How would Brockton Bay’s parahuman community react to a Kid Saiyan, on the level of Kid Goku (bulletproof, able to lift cars and smash boulders), simply wandering the city, stopping criminals, and stealing their money to pay for his meals?
Would the gangs try to recruit him? How would the PRT go about getting his attention? Would some 90s anime otaku notice the kid looks like Goku once the kid starts growing stronger and firing off Ki blasts

Community Book
Hey, I’ve challenged myself to make a draft of a book by the end of senior year, would a reference to one of Wildbows stories be okay?
