I knew the Serpent's Hand would be jumping up and down at this. I fucking called it. I can imagine some sort of, I don't know, welcome/fuck normalcy party in the Library or some shit. I can literally see that in my head.
In other words, +1 with gusto.
This is some damn fun worldbuilding. Seeing all of the reactions different people have from different groups is wonderful, and I like the foreboding hints at what could have caused this anomaly. Your Doomsday team fails to disappoint.

Th-the Wandering Jew? Wtf? I-is this a thing?
but seriously, +1

I was referencing this medieval legend, pretty much every seemingly throwaway line in here is a reference to something concrete. Glad you enjoyed :D
I'm assuming it's the writer's name for Nobody, as the High Priest of the Worm likely is the writer's name for Grand Karcist Ion
I don't know if it's because 3396 is written in a particularly obtuse manner, or if I am just obtuse myself, but either way, it's kind of sad I needed a Hand article to explain that one to me. ._.
That said, hot damn, I am way on board with this. :D
I guess you could say this article… gave you a Hand…
(There’s an additional joke in here somewhere relating to you being the author of the hand milk skip but I’m not clever enough to make it at this particular moment. Either way, glad you enjoyed!)
Serpent's Hand vs. Soft Hands.
Why did I never think of this before?
The wiki does not need this
It's not what we deserve but it's definitely what we need.
God damned excellent. This is my favorite Serpents Hand format out of those produced recently.
The world-building is stellar. The level of detail on the subject matter and the way its conveyed perfectly captures the nature of the Hand.
Between the overview of of events, as well as the eclectic cast of commentors, this does a great job of showcasing a major paradigm shift and the ripples it sends through the anomalous community. It does in a single page what some Canons don't manage across a dozen.
This team continues to exceed my expectations. +1
Thanks Shaggy! You're one of my main metrics for determining whether something I've written is good or merely decent, so to hear this high praise feels awesome. Thanks for always holding the community to a high standard and encouraging us to be better.
Now that Thrive is out, you can see what exactly that painting was foreshadowing :)
The emphasis on "THRIVE" is stellar, setting up something undoubtedly really cool. It's such a powerful word as well, so good job with that. I like the humorous approach taken here. It lets the series loosen up, which I greatly appreciate.
I am translating this article now. And I wander what "Plermomic" is.
Even google doesn't know it, and syllables don't hit anything in etymology dictionary.
What do you assume with this coined word?
Whoops, that was a typo. I meant to type pleromic, as in the Gnostic Pleroma. Thanks for the spot, and the translation!
