Christ, man. None of those are remotely "realistic." They're all ludicrous over-reactions, shard-fuckery be damned. And more importantly, what part of this quest being comedic in nature wasn't clear?

For Panacea? This is pretty muсh in line with her character. She struggled with what she perceived as her nature, which she considered to be inherently evil, and was living under the assumption that she will, inevitably, become a monster. She set all those rules for herself to avoid temptation of using her power in ways that she didn't trust herself with. Now, she broke her rules. Why? Because what is the most scary thing she knows at the moment made her to. And it felt good. The girl is likely suffering a major psychotic break at the moment.

How do you think she's going to react? Because to me these are not overreactions.

Worse she decide to go all : "I AM THE GOBLIN QUEEN AND MY GOBLIN CREATE ICE CREAM".
Not everything is in fire. Including your face.

In canon she needed JACK FUCKING SLASH to go insane. Crazy girl here won't be such a problem.

Man, for a crack Worm quest things here just got seriously heated. Why so serious guys? Not sure overthinking a character's trait is a good idea for a crack.

...hm, then again it'll be fun that way too I guess. Maybe the QM might consider a change to a more semi-serious theme?

She turned a house plant orange. It's not like we made her change a brain, or even modified a person. I'm sure she's done worse if she's ever had to rebuild an arm or borrow biomass from something else.
 
[X]Go help Radiance. You're already in the same building; you might as well.
-[X]Congratulate Radiance on her host's successful brainwashing of Queen Shaper's host, and offer a few tips on how to make it more effective in the future.

Because we haven't quite destroyed Amy's sanity yet.

It's still breaking her rules. And I'm betting that it felt GOOD. Because QS would want to encourage this behavior.

This was actually why I wanted to make an ice cream creature / plant. It's so innocent a creation, that Panacea wouldn't be able to think herself evil for making it. Also, comfort food for her during her breakdown.

Eh, for me it's just a personal preference, really. Yes, this is cracks, and light hearted and good fun. But it doesn't completely disregard all the canon and all the stuff in it. Choices have meanings and all that. Take that away, and what's left?

I hope Panacea turns out ok, I really do. But, if choices have consequences... Well, I am interested in those consequences.
 
Consequences of breaking one's self-imposed rules of morality, becoming an insane medic and turning Crack into Grimderp...
Abominations that should not exist...


Hmm...
Hmmmm...
HMMMMM....







THE YANDERE MEDIC!

Not me! I'm actually hoping to see her snap and whatnot. For all her talk of going Villain Nilbog-style I have yet to see a single fic that depicted her turning that way. Hmm, hang on, there was the Mirrorverse, where Amy Dallon played the evil Pandemic and...one of Ack's ficlet, I guess?

Well, whatever. Point is, I wanna see Panacea with Nilbog-route!
 
Let me run through the internal thought process you seem to be proposing here real quick.

...is she gone? Oh thank God, she's gone. Damnit, I can't believe this. This fucking power. I thought the last guy stalking me for it was bad, but of all the people I could've healed this morning, I had to run into the crazy power-reading God-cape. Of course.

At least she doesn't seem to want anything too insane from me. If that's all it takes from my power to impress her, I might be able to deal with this- wait, shit. She's not going to just accept the same trick over and over again, is she? <Not if I have anything to say about it.> When she comes back, she's going to want something new. Shit shit shit. Ok. Alright. I can handle this. She was satisfied by changing chlorophyll into betalain, for fuck's sake. How hard could this be? <Not at all. Come on. Come on. You can do this, Host! Don't you puss out on me now!>

Still, I don't want to mess this up when she comes back. I guess I should probably... practice? <Yeeeeeeeessssssssss> It's better than the alternative, anyway. It's still dangerous, but... I'll just stick to this one plant. Nothing else. Ever. That should be fine, right? <Right. :drevil:> Right. Now, let's see. A pigmentation change is a good start, I guess, but these leaves are kind of boring. Awfully uniform. I wonder if I could... ooh, that's much prettier. Goes much better with the new stem, too. Though this reproductive system is a bit inefficient? What if I...

...

<ECSTASY>

Huh. This is actually kinda fun-

*Carol bursts into the room in full costume*

<GODDAMNIT>

"Amy! Get dressed, we- what on earth are you doing?"

*Amy flails, throws plant through window*

"Gah! Nothing! What!?"

"...nevermind, there's no time. Titania just kidnapped Victoria. We need to leave."

"What!? Why? What the hell for?"

"We don't know yet. Mark thinks he overheard something about "improving understanding of human social interactions," but-

*cell phone rings*

"Brandish speaking. News? Oh, thank God - wait, the PRT Headquarters? The Ward's base? Why... a tea party?"

*Amy, halfway into robes* "What's going on? Tea party!?"

"They're watching them on the security cameras. She teleported with Victoria into the middle of the Wards common room with a full Victorian-era table spread, then invited them to sit down and- oh, great. Clockblocker elected to say something before the negotiators arrived and now she's taken them all to Fugly Bob's. Which somehow currently resembles an 80's diner."

"Oh. Well, I've fallen into total despair, now. I've become a monster. My life is over."

*Carol is halfway out the door again* "Sorry, what was that?"

"I suppose I'll just go find a gun and blow my brains out. Nothing better to do. Except maybe turn myself into a hideous Nilbogian monstrosity. I guess that might be something worth doing for some reason."

"Amy, what the hell are you talking abou- oh, seriously? MARK! MASTER/STRANGER PROTOCOLS, STAT!"


Yeah. Not seeing it.

I find I lack the vocabulary to express just how bad of an idea I think that is.

Well, you ain't gonna see it here.
That's about the opposite of Crack.

Though I think we have a 'Grim Dark' section of the library.
Methinks it's in room 666. That's six floors below, by the way.
This is room 1337, just in case you forgot.

As I said, I personally hope for it to go a bit like that, yes. The problem is that if it feels good to break her rules? Amy might feel very bad about it feeling good, and take it as proof of her inherently "evil" nature. I really hope it isn't going to go that way.
 
You know, it just occurred to me what this story actually is. All those pics of Alivaril's cat posted here, the way Alivaril has Titania acting, .... This is a cat-insert story, isn't it? QA is how Alivaril believes his cat would behave if it was turned into the QA shard.

Didn't Amy get a cat at some point? So she should be able to handle QA's antics just fine since she has experience.

We'll just have to visit her and pimp slap Queen Shaper into apologizing.

Whether this is anywhere near truth or not, you get a Like just for actually thinking of a theory like that.

I am going to help people with my power !

First thing, famine kill people, let's eliminate it. Let's create monster that produce food via photosythesis. I CAN HALP.
Second thing, lack of sanitary, habitation and clear water. I can help with that. GIANT FLYING HABITATION MONSTER. I CAN HALP.
.... some time later...
3021th thing, Lack of friend can push people to scuicide. I CAN HALP.



Point of this : Amy power is really versatil. And so, crack is possible.

Then you really should not name that route 'Nilbog Route'.

As in, you should not name a 'Creative, confident, selfless and curious biokinetic trying to help the world and humanity while experimenting with her powers' route after the biokinetic who created an army of goblin-like, self-replicating creatures with which he butchered the population of his entire city and turned their bodies into raw biomass for food and more creations, before promptly proclaiming himself a god.

People tend to make assumptions when a biokinetic is compared to him, you see...

I started reading this after watching the first ten episodes of Cardcaptor Sakura. The shards are Clow Cards, and Titania sounds like Tomoya. Everything is designed by Clamp.

Can't unsee it.

Ha ha, no. This is the most fun I've ever had writing something. The most serious sections will likely be:

1: When QA learns of :Mother:'s death.

2: When the S9 shows up. Briefly.

Even though this is totally wrong, it made me laugh so hard.

Good lord, man. I'll reiterate. Even were this not a comedy, turning a plant orange and having her sister "kidnapped" for a play-date with the Wards does not a crowning moment of despair make. I can't even begin and honestly don't want to imagine how you're getting "I have to go to the Birdcage now" from this, let alone "The only way out is to kill myself."

Nonononono.
I just managed to turn this thread into a funny one again!
Don't start an overly serious discussion now! C'mon!

It's honestly disturbing how I had to personally intervene here and make a fool out of myself just to make a Worm Crack thread be lighthearted again.

Normally when I show my ugly nerd face, people burst into laughter right then and there. I'd find it annoying and depressing if it weren't for the fact that I, too, start laughing whenever I look at a mirror.
No wonder my only girlfriend's last name was '.jpeg'.
But I actually had to TRY TO BE FUNNY here.
*tears his hair out in frustration*
