Perhaps it is not an actual prison but the bars behind which a bumper car sits, in which case... he really doesn't have cause to complain.

It's loving terrible. It's using the wheels as feet and toes. There's also a disproportionately large car sitting behind it.

Talking about lazy and thoughtless, look at this:



I just realized what was bugging me about this picture. The thing is, he's wearing a coat. The problem is, there are four to six limbs that are under the coat. Someone makes this whole different monster kind of thing, then forgets all the real details about them.

Holy poo poo, look at the left side of that picture. I was only looking at the dressing gown-clad coaster on the right but he's reading a loving book.

e: and I thought his nostrils were his eyes on the left one. Actually looks a lot like a lazy panda.

Just making sure... she's writing a second one, right? At least she's doing what she loves - writing self-insert fiction about how she'd sleep with a rollercoaster if she could.

He has gravity control since he descended upwards. And also, it doesn't matter that Thunderdog asked him to stay outside because he can hear everything - that's another of his powers.

I wonder if we should make bets as to what power he gets next. I am going to go with "time manipulation", since it's not ridiculous enough already.

Oh jesus gently caress there's a picture of a rollercoaster in a wedding dress

And... and two of a pregnant rollercoaster, one of the pictures has another rollercoaster feeling the pregnant coaster's belly

Bonus: Miranda complaining about people complaining about sexualized anthros.

Bonus 2: This barely legible poster says Miranda published Twisted when she was 16. The Amazon page of the book claims she wrote it "with the tender age of 17". :psyduck:

Bonus 3: Miranda is doing a QnA. At least ask her semi-serious questions, the least we want is some goons cyberbullying her leading into the subsequent gassing of the thread.

66 Chapters. We're close to being one third done with it.

There are two possibilities.

1. You are right and this will continue for ~40 more chapters and I should start finding some more dog pictures. (Unfortunately I could only find three of his dog drawings; I don't know if he did any more)
2. Surely, surely the book does not continue for that much longer. A few chapters more at most.

I don't know how you people find these things.

This sounds like a challenge. So lets all list our top 5 things we think couldn't possibly happen in the story.

1. Clare becomes Shadowtrack (Please christ loving no)
2. Detective Black returns (Please christ loving yes)
3. The Wizard of Yendor Rodney actually uses the powers he got in previous chapters to defeat Ironwheel
4. Ironwheel is actually just a giant wheel
5. Rodney dies

I can't wait until he shows the sword to the others and they immediately gasp and identify as some kind of legendary magical sword that grants him further unnecessary superpowers.

I hope it has a name something like...the Railbliterator.

I'm going to go with some variation of "Blade/Sword of the Red", the "Red Blade", or something butchered with a thesaurus.

He can always continue the saga with Special Agent Captain. Especially given that we haven't seen the last of him.

My bet? Unlike human infants, rollercoasters are aware of their world and surroundings from birth, because they weren't enough of a Mary Sue race already.

Speaking of which, I took a Mary Sue Race Test for Miranda and her coasters as presented so far. A score of 11 or more indicates that your fantasy race is "Most likely a Sue race." Twisted coasters get 29 points! Congratulations Miranda! :downsbravo:

I applied this test to how I envisage dwarves and my constant reaction was "oh christ no".

Also how did you apply the rollercoaster attributes to this test? They get retconned every few chapters so I'm not sure if you're going by past or current.

Railrunner can travel through time, right? He's probably Ironwheel. No wonder everybody hates him so much - he even hates himself, which is the only good thing he's done over the whole book so far.

He lies down on the bed? On his side? And rolls onto his back? Isn't he a roller coaster? How would you do that?

Also, he drinks some water. Again - roller coaster. One glass of water hydrates a human, and he's... 100 times the weight.
