I'll be adjusting that post slightly.
I will be retconning that date too. You saw nothing.

Hey, everyone saw Atropos offer to change it, and Rav didn't take her up on that. It's even written on her jacket now. Seems legit.
On a different note, I wonder what she did to the gun with her angle grinder?

Reply: Taylor getting old.
She is eighty now and so loved by her power that it has pushed restrictions back for her and allowed shenanigans that are borderline just acting like path to victory. But that is not today's topic. In fact today lands perfectly within the rules.
Taylor woke up and said path to ending unhappiness in Brocton Bay?
Her power responds put seven hundred dollars in your pocket and go for a walk in the capital hill graveyard. So she follows the instructions as is usual.
She spots a woman crying over the grave of a loved one and offers a hug. While Taylor is giving comfort her power whispers in her ear, slip six hundred dollars into her pocket.
Taylor doesn't care what the money is used for but if she had asked her power would have told her that the woman was a struggling single mother who just lost her wife. The six hundred dollars was enough for rent and food.
The mother was so inspired by the kindness of a stranger that once she was able she vowed to give back to the community. And give back she did, becoming a business owner and a moral pillar for those who needed help just like she had.
In her old age, Taylor no longer has to kill to bring about change and revels in small kindness.
Lol sorry but I read the chapter and this just appeared in my head. Had to get it out.

An asshole villain being given a joke name? You can bet everyone would find that hilarious. There would be talk show hosts and stand up comics working that into their shows.
As for the shotgun ... mwahaha.

And Theo was born out of wedlock, wasn't he? Bastard sword from a bastard son.

Offhand, I'd say low. Bastard Son is planning to conscript innocents to send against Atropos as an attempt to ruin her image. And we already know how Atropos feels about brand dilution...
Personally I think it likely that Atropos counters BS's multi-target attack with her own variety of 'shotgun method'... And that her use of the sword will be to 'make a point' with the remainder of the Elite.
That said, the trolling author has been known to leave a Chekov device sitting around for a few chapters on occasion.

Theo Anders never saw The Lion King the same way ever gain.
...Huh. That is a bastard sword. Owned by a man who had lot of illegitimate children.
More violent Carmen Sandiego.
A very sharp point.
So where are the long awaited "Atropos Facts"?
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HAA!!! It actually happened!
Oh, this is fucking hilarious!
That was nice of her.

If we hadn't seen what happened to Ravioli, this would be a Noodle Incident.
But I think Atropos went far pasta that line.

Hah! Timeline jokes!

So, what did she do with that remaining hundred?

"Vice" is the word you're looking for I think, unless it's a regional spelling.
The flower-watering bit reminds me of Mauling snarks, where Contessa has a path running to keep a set of special plants watered.
Also a nice setup chapter before the next bit.
Hmm, maybe she turns it into a bastard shotgun... that shoots swords.
So she's gonna kill Bastard Son with a bastard sword, borrowed from a bastard's son, shot from a bastard shotgun, taken from a bastard sow.

As far as I can tell, 'vise' is the American English spelling.

It is. They're pronounced the same way, but we renegade colonials spell the clamp differently to distinguish it from our Puritan forefathers' idee fixe. (I have no idea whether that's the case actually, but it's funny.)
Also, poor Amy, still so warped by Carol's obsessions that she thinks allowing her power to flex a little will result in her drawing Atropos' ire. I know trauma and brainwashing isn't so easily overcome, but it's still painful to see. At least she's taking baby steps.

Carol: "You're going down the path of villainy!"
Amy: "I'm not and I can prove it!"
Carol: "How?"
Amy: "I'm not on Atropos' kill list."

Atropos: But if you keep on, Carol... You will be on my embarrass horribly list. We all know how that goes. Just ask Ravioli, Brandy.
(Implication is that she'll ruin her using booze, giving her the reputation of an awful alcoholic)

That was my first thought too. Surprised it hasn't been brought up more already.
I could be incorrect, but I always thought Theo's mother was Max's first wife, Heith (killed by the Teeth). Also, as far as I'm aware the only other child Max has is Aster, and we know he was married to Kayden. So no bastards involved there.
Edit: Aside from the sword she borrowed.

Atropos just acquired a Bastard sword from a Son.
Heith was married to Max, and nothing I recall indicated that Theo was born out of wedlock.
