The sad part is it could have worked if they put more work into showing how what Joel did fucked Abby's life up. Maybe if the prologue was longer and we got to see everything fall apart for her instead of just being told about it, people would have responded better. Also felt like they played favorites in a weird way with Abby as well.

Ellie: "She was pregnant?! Oh no!"

Abby: "She's pregnant?! That'll make murdering her EVEN BETTER."

What?

What really fucks me up is there are some GOOD episodes in there that let Jodie portray a really faithful yet unique version of the doctor.

It really was just the writing.

EDIT: It was the haunted house episode I was thinking of. It was written by Maxine Alderton.

It took Baby-Woo hundreds (maybe even thousands) of deaths to get past himself. Don't even bother bringing him up.

Racism? Sure, but I hadn't heard about the eugenics. Lemme read this shit...

Humanity has spread to the stars and splintered over the course of thousands of years, with each world superpower colonizing a different part of the galaxy. They run into the Cielcin, who are a huge problem because they are MONSTROUS assholes. Be warned. It gets pretty fucked up in the middle.

I think a really good example of this is the Celcin from the Sun Eater series. They are probably one of the most evil-presenting races I've seen put to page. What makes it stand out though is that the author puts in work to show just how far removed they are from the human experience. One part that sticks with me is an attempt at negotiating with them. They responded to an explanation of the idea of "cooperation," which they have no word for in their own language, with a level of disgust humans reserve for extreme sexual perversion.

Oh dear that is MUCH worse. Just explode me for God's sake.

"What does it even say?"

"I... prepared... Explosive Runes this mo-"

Wait they have horns too? I thought it was just the Baraka claws.

So THAT'S what Damsel looks like when she wants something. Oh my...

Energy drink/beer that was outlawed in the US. It turns out making people drunk, reducing their inhibitions, AND giving them a shitload of extra energy was a bad idea.

Is Four Loco even legal anywhere in America anymore?

So testosterone doesn't make people more violent, but rather less inhibited? Mind sharing where you learned that? I'm not disputing your point, mind you, I've just never heard that before.

She's the one that got the most spice, so...

Spear Wood Flora

I've only just recently learned about this myself, those in higher castes generally have lighter skin tones, while those in lower castes generally have darker skin tones. I once heard that the CEO of a large company was not allowed to stay at a hotel owned by an Indian because the Indian in question viewed the CEO as being of a lower caste because they were a bit on the darker side.

2x? Oh no. It would be AT LEAST a 5x multiplier. Plus manipulating various different materials and "material manipulation" are not the same thing, so there wouldn't be any synergies.

June is probably the strongest since the two actually synergize with each other. Multiplicative power increase and whatnot.

THERE we go! Thought I was gonna have to post this myself. And it's coming out this year? Didn't hear about that. Thanks for the good news!

I heard about this somewhere before. Because it's somewhat common for men to not really open up about their emotions until they find a significant other, that means that they don't really know how to be emotionally vulnerable. Rather than letting the vulnerability trickle out in a manageable way, like some have learned how to, it's a dam bursting with emotions and frustrations that have built up over years, or even a lifetime.

NOBODY wants to deal with that.

Is THIS how women want their men to speak to them???

Be good because being good makes you happy, and being bad makes you sad.

I just think it's a little fucked up that some people looked at adult Hex Maniac and decided to call her Hag Maniac.

Generally speaking, I don't think people consider Parahumans to be too different from baseline humans, at least before the appearance of Case 53s. Nazi parahumans might consider themselves the "first among equals" type. Baseline humans are part of the arian race, but parahuman arians have the right to lead or rule because they were... well... chosen.

Plus there aren't really enough parahumans for them to go full Magneto just yet.

Just popping in to say "Back the the Führer" is REALLY good.
