Jenny and Ted discuss Extermination 8.x (bonus).

Episode Notes:

• The Tattletale interlude was great but we are counting the chapters until 2 Tattle 2 Tale
• Fic idea: Tiny Tim triggers with his initials-sake’s power
• The headcanon that makes Tattletale Ted’s favorite
• “Dying” in your own chapter is very GRRM
• Stories have plot armor until they demonstrate that they don’t
• It’s very Tattletale to have a whole dang interlude without letting us all the way in
• Being Tattletale is a constant performance
• Who was LiSa and what happened to her that she wishes she could have seen coming?
• Lisa’s power as a LucasArts adventure game narrator or a conversation with an LLM
• Just because she makes it look easy doesn’t mean she’s not working hard
• Living with (and doing bits with) her power
• The Undersiders have become greater than the sum of their parts
• Over-interpreting Bitch’s perceived motivations
• Unpacking “sociopath” and “damage”
• Since I am 23% fucked up, I expect you must be precisely that fucked up too!
• The “under” in Undersider stands for “under duress”
• What does Lisa really think about Coil and Dinah? And what does Jenny think about Coil’s power?
• Jenny will not hear any critique of Lisa’s methods when it comes to destroying Tasha
• Ted finally gets Lisa-pilled about how badly the heroes are doing in Brockton Bay: Good riddance, Boardwalk private security!
• Finally, Taylor is seen by an interlude character, and boy is she SEEN!
• Lisa, like, loves Taylor. Or at least won’t let herself hold a grudge
• Lisa’s safe focus on performance gets her companionship, and Taylor’s risky focus on authenticity gets her intimacy
• Lisa tightly controls how she dispenses her information
• Endbringer: Origins
• Come on, Dragon, just mass produce these mechs already!
• What difference can the less useful capes really make here?
• Jenny doubles down on her original Regent theory
• FORTY. CAPE. NAMES. /dies
