    The Long War

    it’s part of a setting that I’m worldbuilding. I keep lying to myself and saying that one day I’ll actually write the book. Think star wars, but with a pinch more cyberpunk, an entire shaker of grimdark, a not insignificant amount of nsfw content.

    It’s my life’s work, and I’ve got jack shit to show for it.









  • Depends on who gets superpowers, and how such powers are acquired.

    The broad strokes of The Boys makes some degree of sense if we start with the premise that some megacorporation controls the manufacture and publicity of all supers. However, if supers can come from other sources, then what limitations are we putting on the premise?

    I am of the opinion that most people are inherently good. Most people are also inherently stupid and cowardly, but keep in mind that these circles on the venn diagram are independent of each other despite some overlap. However, if given an opportunity to choose between helping and hurting, without any fear of repercussions either way, most people would choose to help.

    There’s a popular quote: “power corrupts”, which is a shortened version of “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. I think this quote misses something fundamental: “power attracts the corruptable”. In a world without gods, no one I’d ever trust to be one would ever actively make the choice to become one unless it was forced on them somehow.

    If superpowers were distributed more randomly, then the odds of us getting a superman instead of a homelander improve greatly. Still a dice throw though.
