Was this what a kleptomaniac felt? A hoarder perhaps. The negative side told me, urged me to pull things in. I felt it on the edge of my mind, a constant tug of war between two polarities like positive and negative charges of a magnet. What would you do, jump right into a cape fight? Back to why this was my first crime.
muggings were incredibly common so you couldn't really start elsewhere. Starting small sounded nice, similar to how a fresh hero would start on muggings or, well.
Tv tropes slay the spire professional#
Making it sound professional does ease the guilt of knowing it's a crime. I decided on a bank because this is the first, most important step of my career. I could've started with something easy like a jewelry heist, something else common in fictional media because that's the only type of villainy I know of.
Something real villains absolutely didn't do and were something only from comic books or stories. Where was I going with this little introspection about costume life one might ask? Well.Ĭrazy, isn't it? Taylor Hebert, an ostracized victim of bullying, not even fully a young adult yet even if I'd comment that fifteen easily qualified, doing the biggest common crime of all? No jaywalking doesn't count as a crime and I meant something along the lines of famously done. I suspect it's also why secret identities and cape names were such a big deal. Symbols, really, instead of making it about people. Television and media had made it easier to target masks. With the PRT putting out their public relations and propaganda to the masses that propped up the image of Heroes, capitalized for dramatic effect, who would actually believe they were human beneath the masks? That they were just people at the end of the day trying their best, and failing sometimes, to do the right thing? Because it was easy to dehumanize those that don't show their faces. Well, that last one may be true considering what Brockton Bay's gang reputation is like, but I'd put my doubts on it being a one hundred percent case now. Where the heroes are knights in shining armor, Gallant notwithstanding if the rumors were anything to go by, and villains were all dastardly and wicked. Oh how I wish that view was actually true. I realized that not everything is so black and white in the view of things. Sure they were just labels that the media put on. How else would you explain a girl, by all rights wanting to do good and be a hero if she ever had the chance, psyching herself up for her debut as a villain? Sometimes it's ironically funny in the right light but mostly it's a dark, sarcastic humor that catches you. It wasn't that it was genuinely funny, for life is rarely that. It was the only thought that came to mind as I readied myself for what was to come.

Thanks to them for writing a wonderful masterpiece.įor the impatient: Taylor triggered with the ability to seal things into cards and unseal them. This story is in the Worm universe which was written and is owned by Wildbow. Alas that's just unimportant information y'all readers don't come to this subforum for, right? We all came for Taylor (or SI's if that's your kick) to mash it up with superpowers. Still I've been playing games like Slay The Spire, Warframe, MTG and other games that inspired this particular power. I've always wanted to do a game crossover as an alternate power but never found games I knew enough or liked to do it. I've read Worm twice in total and millions of words combined for fanfics which inspired me writing in general.
First time posting and showing writing? Jeez.
