Dire Worm! (Fanfic) | comment |
Dire Worm! is a Worm fanfic by Andrew "Lost Demiurge" Seiple, crossing over with the author's original fiction, the Teslaverse about the character's origins.The Undersiders have always wanted a Tinker for their own so as to benefit from the gifts of superscience. In many realities, they never get it. In this one, however, they are about to get something even better: A dimensionally-displaced Mad Scientist Tin Tyrant possessed of more ham than a pig farm and a peculiar sense of honour. Doctor Dire is no one's minion, however, and her presence will shake up Earth Bet. To what end, no one knows yet, but it's certain to be one Hell of a ride.See also: Your Fate is Dire! for a short from Dire's past. Tales from the Teslaverse for other Teslaverse shorts. The Thin Black Line Between Infernal and Divine, a Teslaverse novella. Keep an Ace in the Hole, a Teslaverse short story. DIRE: BORN, the story of Dire's first days.Beware spoilers for Worm canon. | |

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: By Word of God, Gamma looks and sounds like Sarah Rafferty, while Delta resembles Adele, while Beta says in-story that he asked to be made to look like Bishop. And one of Dire's more dangerous foes, Time Master Timetripper, looks like Jeff Bridges and acts like The Dude. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Subverted by Dire. When she first learns that she's been transported to Another Dimension, her initial instinct is to call it impossible, but she quickly recants it by reminding herself that the existence of "Heaven, hell, the fairy courts, [and] the darkness realm of Nyshudderath" have been proven by her reality. Played entirely straight when she meets Bonesaw. Dire point blank refuses to accept that someone could be made immune to EVERY poison | |

Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In 5.4 Lisa expresses gratitude that the Undersiders don't have to deal with anyone whose power is to choose one of multiple realities to make real. That's actually Coil's power, not that she knows it yet. In 5.5 Taylor scoffs at the idea of herself using butterflies. Late in canon, she's forced to do just that. Also in 5.5, Alec scoffs at the idea of doing a Heroic Sacrifice... which, in canon, he eventually does. In 8.5 Jack muses that he regrets missing out on Bakuda because she could have given Crawler a "workout". In canon, Crawler was finally killed with a Bakuda bomb. | |

Do Androids Dream?: Dire's own androids are divided on whether or not they're really conscious. Beta thinks that they have souls, Delta doesn't really care, Gamma apparently keeps herself busy partly to avoid thinking about it, and Sigma believes that they're not really self-aware, though some of them might have a glimmer of it, and Tattletale thinks that he's fooling himself. | |

You Have Failed Me | |
Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_474e3977 | comment |
You Have Failed Me: Dire averts this for the most part. Only outright Treason against her results in death. An honest screw up, extenuating circumstances or just being overpowered results in Dire asking them to do better. Stupidity and/or lack of skill results in a lecture, docked pay, and/or grudging manual labor. It doesn't sound as impressive without the context of how brutally and unflinchingly Dire inflicts Ironic Death on those who fail her enough to merit an execution in her own books. | |

Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_4dcfdb68 | comment |
How she deals with Slaughterhouse 9. She has access to tech that cancels the Time Dilation effects of Bakuda's bomb. When she teleports the 9 (and herself) into Outer Space a) she had the teleporter set up in the first place for the occasion, b) her throne was shielded to stop the 9 getting to her and to maintain an atmosphere, and c) when she quickly realises that Crawler, Mannequin and Bonesaw won't be stopped for long and the latter can potentially save the rest (and Siberian never made the trip in the first place), she drops the time field, loosing several more Bakuda bombs to completely disintegrate them while she teleports back out to relative safety (relative because she knows The Siberian's still about, and SHE MAD). | |

Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_50f66629 | comment |
Crazy-Prepared: All of Dire's lairs, armors and mechs have redundancies upon redundancies upon contingencies. When she erects the Direspire, she puts a veritable museum of old mechs in a locked off part of the spire, one of which comes in handy against the Siberian. How she deals with Slaughterhouse 9. She has access to tech that cancels the Time Dilation effects of Bakuda's bomb.

It's a Wonderful Plot | |
Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_551c5085 | comment |
It's a Wonderful Plot: Timetripper, one of Dire's enemies, attempted this by showing her a future where she won.... What it actually turned out to be was left deliberately ambiguous and open to interpretation, except that she didn't consider it to be what she really wanted. | |

Subverted by Dire.

Had to Be Sharp | |
Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_70dc3a86 | comment |
Had to Be Sharp: The reason Dire is so badass is because her home reality is filled with opposition that regularly matches if not exceeds Earth Bet's worst. For example, just one of her original foes' powers more-or-less is, to paraphrase a reader (and later acknowledged In-Universe), an unholy combination of two already potent Wormverse powersas in Coil's and Dinah's taken to extremes. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless: This trope is exactly why Dire became an Anti-Villain. Clarke's Third Law was almost in effect in her universe and humanity was pretty much the same. This comes up in 9.5. After setting up the Direspire, Dire demonstrates how this works by supplying people with food and mass-produced bicycles as a means of transportation in a ruined city. Her renting out her gear to aid Grey Boy's victims works towards demonstrating her ideals in practice as well. | |

Taste the Rainbow | |
Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_acff8f77 | comment |
Taste the Rainbow: In-Universe, when called out on how the Direbots make fast friends with the Undersiders (Sigma to Tattletale, Gamma to Grue, Delta to Regent and Imp later on and Beta to Bitch, with Dire herself matching Taylor), Dire responds that it was inevitable due to their intentional diverse purposes. | |

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: In her home universe, Dire is a bottom-of-the-top tier villain, based on what she tells the Undersiders, but in Wormverse, she's capable of going hand-to-hand with Leviathan (in a Humongous Mecha, of course) and killing seven actually six, but who expected Simurgh to save any of them? of the Slaughterhouse Nine as an opening shot at them.

Shout-Out | |
Dire Worm! (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Give her even the smallest amount of time to work, and materials to work with, it's like watching a Korean teenager play a sci-fi strategy game. You start constructing more pylons, and the next thing you know he's got siege tanks and the system's telling you there's a nuclear launch detected." "Well. That'll be an interesting day." "NO? SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS, YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE..." "Pft, don't make me kick your ass. I'll drop a comment on your feed about integrity in gaming journalism and watch the ensuing shitstorm." Hello world indeed. Next you'll be telling me I'm in danger of being eaten by Grue. Dire's world had a proto-Internet called the Grid. Dire quotes Moby-Dick as she charges into battle against Leviathan. In 8.1 Dire mentions Wulfenbach Protocols. It was clear from the clash that in the grimdark present of this guy's apparel, there was only war. In 9.3 Dire mentions that her lava room had Cliff Racer-bot hatches. "RETHINK HER ACTION?" I chuckled, barely keeping it back from a full on howl. "DO YOU THINK DIRE SOME PETTY PLOTTER? SOME SHORT-SIGHTED SIMPLETON? DIRE DID IT THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES AGO." "CAN'T STOP THE SIGNAL." Dire makes a bowel disruptor at Regent's request. | |
