>> Very much ECR, so this might just end up being a lot of rambling. <<
That's okay. It's a very intense poem.
>> On one hand, yes. Seeing the police work with the capes and knowing that they all can trust each other and if something goes wrong it will be addressed. <<
:D I try to show the different ways of dealing with challenges. While there's been little progress on official collaboration between the police and SPOON, for various reasons, there has been plenty of unofficial collaboration. It is much safer to plan a raid and make sure you have both combat-capable superheroes and naries trained in policework, than for either group to try handling it alone. Of course, no matter how careful you are, mad science labs are inherently dangerous. It's not rare for them to have stuff that will cause problems if not shut down properly, the mad scientist usually won't do that, and you don't always have someone else who can. I think they did pretty well here.
>> Seeing limits being stated and then immediately respected. Having EFA and competence and acknowledgement/validation of feelings. All of that feels so nice. <<
Yay! This is why T-America doesn't have whole asylums full of supervillains or superheroes who snap and smack each other around for 2 hours.
And I just had the creepiest idea: a nation making L-America's mistake with de-institutionalizing people, and in the process, releasing a bunch of supervillains. 0_o
>> On the other hand, ow. <<
Yep.
>> There is this universe where I wouldn't have to worry about my friends ending up dead or injured or anything like that and there being nothing done about it. And there was a connection between the universes. <<
Lots of people wish they could move to Terramagne.
>> (Before I had only thought about it in terms of "I'd really prefer living there", somehow this ended up being different) <<
I can see that.
>> But then also, I would hate it if I switched places with Hype or anyone there without them having a choice and a way to switch back. At least I'm used to dealing with this, being dumped into it, well, this happens. And this was only for a couple minutes. <<
That would definitely suck.
>> Slight side note, I'm not sure it would be worth updating the warnings over or even how you would. I just noticed that it sort of blindsided me and I think the main component of that was the direct comparison between T-America and here, showing some of the specific things that go ow. I guess I usually think of the two universes as pretty separate and hadn't compared specific parts so much before, just their effect on the universes?<<
Yes, that can happen. I'll update the notes.
>> Anyway, so much ECR, thank you for writing it! <<
