Skitter: If I Stay The Course And Follow Tattletale's Plan, I Can Either Become Coil's Trusted Lieutenant

Skitter: If I stay the course and follow Tattletale's plan, I can either become Coil's trusted lieutenant or we can supplant him. Either way, Dinah will go free.

#Not sure if it was my post in question but thank you for this piece of poetry it soothes my dismayed soul#youre right…rachelxtaylor tongue kiss saved lives…

Rachel x Taylor's kiss saved their lives. Rachel goes on to learn how to handle people more. I haven't read Ward in full yet, but I can easily see her and Cassie figuring out that they like eachother, even if it doesn't appear in the text.

Even if Cassie doesn't become her wife, Rachel will be capable of finding love, making friendships, and attaining peace because of the groundwork that Taylor laid.

She builds a community thanks to Taylor, she has the Sons of Bitch (a fucking kickass name) because of Taylor, and she builds Taylor a memorial. Not because of the body one usually leaves behind when one dies, but because of the possibilities lost to them both when Taylor had to go save the world, despite everyone else fighting against her.

All except for one person, in the end;

I saw a post cross my dashboard about the poster discovering Bitch and Biter's relationship in Worm's epilogue and their dismay at Bitch somehow being hetero (and I'm sorry I couldn't find you again, I forgor to like the post) and I just want to let you know that it's okay.

She used him like a dildo. That's how much she thinks of Biter (who also has partial expansion jutsu as his power btw) and their relationship. He's a good fuck. He scratches an itch. Yeah. That's pretty much it. He doesn't really get Rachel, or Earth Gimel, and misses civilization, so he fucks off. He never spends the night, she doesn't like him holding her afterwards, and there's very little romance, not that Rachel would care for romance anyway.

But compare that to Taylor? Her first kiss. A kiss that broke an evil witch's spell and reminded her who Taylor is, and what they as a relationship are. She asks Rachel to remember the Greek food, and how she felt. And Taylor gets up in her face, deep into her personal space, touches her for maybe the first time in Rachel's life in a way that wasn't gnashing and biting and violence to survive foster care and on the run. Taylor fights tooth and nail every step of the way to get closer to Rachel - who acts exactly like an abused dog would, by barking and biting at anyone who gets too close - just because she can't stand by and let Rachel disappear into her loneliness.

Rachel punches her for it, and Taylor takes it in stride. Taylor's been punched before, both by Rachel and by people who have been close and intimate with Taylor. She doesn't resent Rachel for it, and even expected it for crossing her boundaries unexpectedly. She was ready to die if this didn't work. She would've preferred to die.

Bitch takes a while to speak up, and the first thing she brings up is that she'd've used Bentley to break Taylor. I always read a lot of regret in that. Lisa and Taylor both talk about how Rachel would've found her dogs, turtled up in her territory and continued to be isolated and paranoid, something that would've fulfilled the S9's goals of ripping apart everyone's connections.

But their bond prevails, despite Rachel's fear of intimacy, and Taylor's terrible past involving girls she loves.

Tattletale specifically requests no tongue.

Correct me if I'm wrong and it actually happened at some point in the text, but it would've been really funny if Weaver was talking to Shadow Stalker during GM and said some stuff about passengers/shards (in relation to Sophia's potential conflict drive canon/fanon theory stuff (I personally don't think it was more than a little 10% nudge compared to a victimized person in a racist city suddenly gaining powers and the Power to do something about it and becoming a vigilante)).

And Sophia pulls her up and goes "Huh? Where'd you find out about Passengers or whatever this is?" (she's not concerned about conflict drive rn)

And Taylor goes "Oh, while Bonesaw was opening my skull up."

HUH? What do you mean?!?! Bonesaw? Bonesaw?

Funnily enough this happens between Victoria and Taylor during Silence is Not Consent and there's an accompanying bit of fanart that was drawn about this situation.

But I would've loved it for Sophia to find out that little tidbit, ontop of all the other unhinged shit that was going on during GM, with Lung working in Weaver's personal squad, the Simurgh latching onto Tattletale.

"I used to bully this girl, what the fuck?" - Sophia.
