*wonders what reaction they'd get if they told Saddes that Scion is a two-Bell problem, giggles*

[an entry on the list of people Sith!Nacha intends to kill on the way to ruling the galaxy] People who put raisins in oatmeal cookies instead of chocolate chips as the Force intended.

I agree completely.

It's not necessarily a two-Bell problem. Promise managed fine on her own.

[Adelene]

True. ^^

Honestly, even after seeing your setup and knowing it was planned, it still feels like an asspull that you decided on right before writing Cam's version of the Behemoth fight.

Um, sorry?

I don’t mind the existence of raisin cookies as long as they are clearly and properly labeled. Chocolate chip is a default, don’t make something that looks like that but is not.

The worst, which I have encountered once, is raisin cookies clearly labeled as chocolate chip.

Re: do not be late

Both Shell and Sarion were broken in ways that made them temporarily more subbish than dommish. I don’t know if that counts as a Bell actually being a sub. Even if it does, that’s two, and there have been at least three Mays, so yeah, firebreathing dragon is more likely.

Beila is a masochist, and it's not obvious to me to what extent Eclipse society groks that power bottoms are a thing.

[Alicorn]

Hit and miss on society getting that; it's sort of a "there are straight dudes who like pegging" concept. Beila did explicitly say that she's not subby (she used "moon" and "ocean" but the idea's the same).

I don’t agree, but I think I see where he’s coming from. It’s that, even in retrospect, most of those clues were too subtle. Most of them would have required me knowing more about canon than I did to catch (I didn’t know that the good Elite really weren’t that bad, for example, and AFAIK it’s perfectly canon-compliant for even the good ones to be bad even if that wasn’t mentioned in canon) or were in the Behemoth fight. Of the one remaining hint Nemo mentioned, Kithabel could have put a city back on the map and it might not have even been worth mentioning.

I can understand not wanting to give it away before you’re ready, but I think in this case you erred too far on the side of subtle for it to really work that well.
