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.

That's one of the worse arguments out there, equating a strong character who doesn't make any critical blunders with bad writing. An overpowered character can still be entertaining and believably flawed. This did not read as believable, this read as failing because someone said so. In-setting...
Ughh, Simurgh and Contessa being assholes to people while making them squirm isn't an entertaining read. With the (pseudo) Exalted powers in play I was hoping to see them neutralized, but it seems that it won't be happening.
PST is so good. See, THIS is how you set up Sophia redemption/befriending Taylor arc convincingly.
She may even become the cutest maid in the world along the way.
Taylor's about to cuck the Emperor with her lesbian friend, too. I swear, this fic reads like she's collecting achievements.
*ding* - "Took on Clockblocker in melee, and won."
*ding* - "Yeeted a dragon"
*ding* - "Escaped from Protectorate holding cells by you own"
We should make a list...
I think that's how it went: back then after WWII, everyone understandably didn't want a repeat performance. So studies were commissioned to determine as to what made the Reich so evil? What made regular people participate in atrocities by the thousands? Answers were obtained, but then it turned...
It is bizzare how people equate fascism and racism. IMO fascism uses racial discrimination as a tool to divide people and sow hatred and unite the affected masses under one banner. Racism is neither sufficient nor necessary for any given government or movement to have pronounced fascist...
If you're an architect working for a gang in a semi-lawless area where you also live full-time, and that gang likely has a thinker or two on call, you're not gonna cut corners in the construction. That's basically a death sentence in that situation.
Oh, yeah, her "daddy" can pull info from Panacea's shard about interesting stuff to tinker with. Methinks Taylor needs some precognition/divination blocking charms, or the story's gonna change into torture/trauma porn.
... you do realize that Piggot is basically about as racist towards all capes as the Empire higher ups are towards the minorities? She knows that PRT cannot work without using parahumans, so she tolerates them, but no more than that. Given two otherwise equal choices, she would always pick one...
There's nowhere to run, and panicking is useless. Because if Taylor's a Ziz bomb, so are the Triumvirate, and a great many capes that stayed near the Winged One for only a "safe" duration during the Endbringer fights.
Odds of Parian dying not being random = *trollface* percent
Now I'm envisioning a timeline where Simurgh regularly torments PRT analysts by remotely substituting that emoji for quantitative estimations in their reports.
Aaand either Piggot is oblivious to Armsmaster's backstabbing, or is a...
Simplifying and lumping together different cultures while burying inconvenient details is a common tactic for any ideology that appeals to a baser human nature. Fascism tends to be somewhat more blatant about it.
Really, few groups ever educate their members about the darker parts of their...
Remember, Always Be Sandbagging. His armor does have a golden lining, so he actually has all that you wrote above, but it's hidden by the metal suit and by accentuating the Blaster aspects.
Which method of plugging the emotional holes would she choose? Surely not something our culture provides for the purpose, like a hobby, also she's incapable of true friendship right now, and influence from her parents and E88 precludes substance abuse (that's degeneracy). All that's left is...
Since Nekomancer didn't have plot armor, and actually murdered several people in horrific ways while caping, she wouldn't have lasted long on the streets anyway. Death by an anonimous sniper maybe?
