I'm honestly not sure what to make of Tommy's homophobia. It *feels* like it's supposed to be the central focus of the plot, but then it's basically 90% resolved in the first chapter. If the tone were more comedic, then I'd understand needing to sideline the main conflict so the raunchy "team bonding exercises" and whatnot could get underway, but as things are I'm just kind of scratching my head here.

@Anonymous Thank you for your comment. I appreciate all feedback. Positive feedback is good for my ego, but I also feel like constructive feedback or questions help make me a better writer. What if I told you that Tommy's homophobia is just the initial conflict while the audience learns about the world. And as Tommy (and the audience) gain more clarity on how the Marines operate, different conflicts arise. I intend Tommy to be the audience avatar and eventual hero of the story. But that means he needs to develop from a shitty homophobe to someone the audience actually likes pretty quickly. That is the goal, anyway. I appreciate feedback on how well I'm actually pulling it off.

@[Naedre](/user/show/931338) Well I was definitely getting "main conflict" vibes from it, so if that's not the case, then I'd expect similar themes to build on it later on. So for instance, one of the other things that stuck out to me here was the repeated use of the term "human" -- I could see that expanding into some kind of fantastical racism(speciesism?), which would play off Tommy's initial homophobia in an interesting way. But if, on the other hand, the later conflicts have little to do with identity politics, then it does feel kind of unnecessarily emphasized. Before I give the wrong impression, I should probably add that I do like what you've written so far! I wouldn't bother with any of these comments if I didn't. It's interesting that you envision Tommy as an audience avatar. It feels like anyone with even a shade of intolerance would usually be immediately relegated to the "unsympathetic victim" role on this site. I'm curious to see how you develop him going forward.

Hit buttons for sure. I can see others who don't have those buttons feeling a bit baffled but... well they're the ones missing out.

Isn't this one fun? There's so much to unpack here. In Jamie's dream, we get to see inside Dusk's head and into his past. We have his confrontation with his former mentor, and Dusk helping to make sure that "fucker got what he deserved," as Dusk so eloquently put it in Chapter 2. Then there's Minotaur's admissions regarding the incident that sent Midnight over the edge, followed by Midnight's bargain with Master, and the beginning of his true submission and slavery to Master. The next part puts us squarely back in Jamie's unhappy present, where he's trying to make sense of what he just dreamt. There's another confrontation between Jamie and Kane about the escapade of a new Villain or Vigilante. And the irony is that neither knows that the new supe on the block was in fact Jamie, and the event described in Cape News is Jamie's likely future starting to take shape. The League may have an idea, though, because in comes Mentat to interrogate Jamie, with more than a hint of creepiness. The final elevator scene wraps it up so neatly. First Mentat confesses that he (and by extension the Tribunal) now sees Jamie as lost, and fit only to bait a trap for Master. Like that'll work. It does sort of lead one to think that maybe the League **hasn't** cottoned on to who the new "villain" really is, because if they had, would they actually risk letting Master get to keep him? The closer is Mentat blackmailing Claymore, seemingly just because he can. You gotta wonder what's up with that. But it does establish that yet another one of the League's leading "heroes" is as evil as any supervillain. Of the four we've seen so far, the best one is the self-centered, glory chasing jackal, Valour. We haven't yet met Dauntless in person, but given that he is the founder of this fundamentally corrupt organization, and the utter nastiness of his cohorts on the Tribunal, it's impossible to think he'll be any better when we finally do. I can hardly wait to see what comes next. Thank you Neon Demon!

I really liked this one! I would have loved to see more of his partners reaction to what was going on. Also would be good to see more of the hypnotists escapades. Great story 😁

I love the mind control aspect and the fact that the man's step-son is a brown-skinned Indian whom he hypnotizes to be a boi where. Almost like he's pimping the boy out for other white men to enjoy. Also, the involuntary discovery of pleasure is always a real turn-on.

He is now dumb and simple, like an animal, without posessions. Would love to see how he lives like a caveman in the Backyard of his master, with all the other victims :D
