man you know what I want? a superhero series where they have powers that 100% contradict their personalities. a fishermans daughter who lives by the sea, swims every day, learns that she can control fire. a boy who’s mortified of heights but realizes he can use antigravity and hates it. someone who was bitten by a dog as a child, suffers extreme fear around animals, can now communicate with them. they’re all disgusted by their powers.

write a book

This would be really good!  Can’t you just see it?  It would be such a great way to show characters needing to accept who they are even if they fear it.  Not only that, but people would go about it all wrong to try and convince them to accept themselves.  Like someone would be falling from a high building and the boy who can fly, who is afraid of heights, would just stand there shaking and the crowd who knows he can fly would be like, “GO AND SAVE HER WHAT ARE YOU DOING DON’T JUST STAND THERE!!!”  And he would be so scared and so torn because he’d want to, but would just be terrified.

And you know, at the same time, there would be the “these kids are freaks” group to add to the pressure, just… wow, such a great idea, this needs to be a thing!
