If the page you are on "looks fine," it is most likely (but not certainly) because its theme is overriding the SCP Wiki's default Sigma-10 theme. If you were to then navigate to a Sigma-10 page, such as the Front Page, it would likely appear broken.
Alternatively, if you know for sure that Sigma-10 is loading, the error is most likely mistakenly appearing because you switched the Sigma-10 theme to a different theme using the ThemePreviewer module or another similar feature. If this is the case, and you are the author of the page, add the following code to it to remove the warning:
[[module css]]
#top-bar .ios-cache-issue-notification {
display: none !important;
}
[[/module]]

Part 2 of Jude's Bizarre Adventure.
Temple of Love is a song by Sisters of Mercy. It's worth a listen, imo.
This part of the series is about gender and (as always) religion.
Edit: Thanks to everyone in my discord, including but not limited to scarhaver and communismwillwin.
I think the focus on religion, especially religious people who are also anomalous, is vastly important, doubly so with a group with as many religious members as GAW. So I'm glad you had a story with Esther's point of view instead of making it about Jude again. If you keep this series up, you should do it from JJ's point of view.
Also, World's Greatest Grandpa. Fuck.
Surprisingly enough, I enjoyed this, even if Esther was characterized as a dime-store Valerie Solanas.
Well she is younger; this whole tale series is meant to be in the past.
Plus, unlike the SCUM Manifesto, she actually respects and doesn't hate trans women. And not all women who hate men are radfems; that does a great disservice to us women who hate men.
This is earning one of my few no-votes, and it's hard to put in to words why.
I don't dislike this, but this series doesn't appeal to me very much, and as I see more and more entries, they tend to be escalating, while at the same time not expanding very much.
I think if I had more attachment to the characters, I would be more in to this, but I can only really view this from the writing perspective, and I didn't get much of a dimension on Jude or Alexander here. Just one dimensional slugfest with powers, and what flirtations with depth happened were cursory.
All of that being rambled, this is good work, and deserves recognition for that. It's just not my taste.
Isn't writing that doesn't make you grow more attached just another aspect of bad writing? If the first two chapters of a novel don't hook you, then it's bad writing, even if it's not grammatically and technically flawed.
If there were more dimension to it, wouldn't you be more likely for you to form an attachment than you would if the kept acting like straw men? That is just my idea of how it works.
[nah]
That's a fucked up thing to say, and I'd genuinely like it if, in the future, you don't comment on my stuff if you're going to say this ignorant shit.
th4nkyoub3n, review the criticism policy again, especially the part asking you to be constructive in your feedback. Avoid being so insensitive about topics like this in the future.
i am a trans man. that is what the fuck is up.
i am not a fan of the essentialism posited by jude and esther
And I am a trans woman. You're still being fucked up about this.
What essentialism? Them talking about their religions? Esther is proven wrong about her gender assertions, so I have no idea if you mean that.
And I was serious about requesting that you no longer comment on my shit, Ben.
Setting aside…let's call it poorly stated opinion…and in the interest of meeting ignorance with education:
Not to speak for Kinch, but I believe you miss the point entirely here. I'd suggest reading up on the concept of Authenticity vs. Bad Faith.
Of course I can't say whether it actually is or not, but this reads very much like an author tract by a garden variety bigot. Not a good look.
I accidentally stumbled onto this tale with no background concerning the characters, no knowledge of the series, and no fucking clue what the hell is going on.
I'm surprised I liked it as much as I did. It's usually really hard for me to stay focused on prose — especially more abstract stuff. I always end up skimming. But reading through this was one of the few instances where I actually found myself bothering to read just about every word, from start to finish.
ETA: The characterizations and voices are probably what did it for me; Esther's in particular. I was also super-impressed with how smoothly you jumped from perspective to perspective within the prose without ever leaving me confused.
