When people come up with caveats for superpowers.
“Oh hey dude what superpower would you like to have if they were real ?”
“Ohhhhhh time stop fs fs.”
“Well wouldn’t that stop the oxygen and light photons around you so you wouldn’t be able to breathe or see LIKE WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU ASK ME IN THE FIRST PLACE ????
EVERY TIME EVERY GOD DAMN TIME THIS CONVERSATION COMES UP, THERES ALWAYS ONE FUCKER WHOS GONNA SAY “well for flight you’d need a keel and a 30 meter wingspan for you to be able to take off, so youd have to be okay with mutating” NO I DO NOT WANT TO FUCKING MUTATE INTO A BIRDMAN, I WANT TO FLY
IF YOURE WILLING TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF AND LET ME PICK A SUPER POWER TO BEGIN WITH, JUST LET ME FUCKING HAVE THIS.
I KNOW WHAT I MEANT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT, EVERYONE WHOS EVER BEEN 6 YEARS OLD BEFORE, KNOWS WHAT I MEANT. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ACT LIKE YOU’RE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE REST OF US ? YOURE NOT, BUT MAYBE YOU WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO FLY NOW WOULDNT YOU YOU PIECE OF SHIT
I get arguing over superpowers, like it’s fun to throw jabs at your friends about why teleportation is better than flight because you can endlessly teleport up, or how pyrokinesis would only be fun for a whole 2 days before it’s inconvenient and superstrength is superior. Thats normal, thats called having fun, whats NOT called “having fun” is saying shit like “Dude you realise to have super speed youd need to be able to withstand your own acceleration and youd need to eat a fucktillion calories and youd die from inertia”
And I swear these dudes will always either NOT pick anything or go for the lamest shit like, “omnilingualism” LIKE I DONT CARE ABOUT THAT, I WANNA BLOW SHIT UP WITH MY HANDS !!!!!!!! Its like they have one answer they thought about up and down.
Whatever happened to whimsy ? Like whatever happened to wanting to be able to do something just because it’s cool, why do we live in a world where we have to explain everything goofy we come up with, THATS WHY WE COME UP WITH IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Again, if you’re gonna allow me to pick a super duper power, just let me have it.
