sistershoggoth | station72 application this is the second I want to bring in, that app is unconscionably long but long story short she's a super powered child soldier now a dysfunctional adult soldier whose super power is broken
spider baby 🕷️
so having already had a power she and I are both a little like 'yeah whatever it is'
spider baby 🕷️
choose and perish, power-picker
Mica
ok let me pause my podcast and DO SOME THINKNG
Mica
also i wanna make fun of the phrase "flat-hipped" but even as i was gearing up to make a stupid quip i decided that was actually pretty evocative, so the whole thing was like when you have to sneeze, and you inhale, and then the sneeze dies so
Mica
thanks for that
spider baby 🕷️
hahah it was because I was working off what I had said for another girl in this verse, who is very curvy, so I just lazily inverted the wording
spider baby 🕷️
like a lazy person
Mica
why is my kneejerk reaction always "make fun of it" i am a terrible person
spider baby 🕷️
laughter is best medicine
Mica
Well, ok the way I see it is.
Mica
She can either use her symbiote power to make her normal powers operational again (in whatever limited capacity)
Mica
or, a good power for her, would be to inflict hallucinations on people
spider baby 🕷️
that's already what Ilde does, may be the problem there
spider baby 🕷️
/part of what Ilde does
Mica
See I don't know all the powers of everyone
Mica
so I was just suggesting based on this app
Mica
but maybe I can come upwith something different, let me see
spider baby 🕷️
there is always the tried and tru List of Supernatural Powers and Abilities
Mica
What if, she has a Rita Repulsa type of power
spider baby 🕷️
did Rita have actual powers other than fierce lipstick....
Mica
she was an amazing spear-thrower
spider baby 🕷️
I never knew
I never knew
Mica
but no, for real, what about that she can craft (hurr hurr) monsters from her horrible imagination, and they become alive things
Mica
The drawbacks being things like
Mica
whatever the monsters see/feel/ect, she has to experience that simultaneously with them, which is very disorienting and disturbing
Mica
and also if they get hurt, painful
Mica
and at first they don't last very long, and they're very tiny
spider baby 🕷️
I like this, especially if the method of monster crafting involves horrible green goo like A.) The Power Rangers Movie B.) When Howl has a meltdown........
Mica
it can come from her chest where the portal was, for whatever psychocomatic reason, even if they're a manifestation of her power and their actual matter comes from cough cough shut up shh psychic power vibes harvested from whatever
Mica
but as she bonds closer with her symbiote, she can pull power from her broodmates and from the nest at large so the baby monsters can be either bigger, or last longer, or can go farther from her without like
Mica
dissolving into gross goo puddles
spider baby 🕷️
disgusting gnarly scar oozes green shit... no one wants to sit with her at lunch table....
Mica
if she were to power up fully, then you'd have like
Mica
ten foot tall things walking around like they own the joint, fully autonomous
Mica
but they're not actually alive they're just an extension of her subconscious given legs and creepy little monster faces
Mica
which is why they can't get too far from her ultimately, and she can/has to always see through their eyes and feel what they feel
spider baby 🕷️
telepathically conductive goo................................. works up to a radius
spider baby 🕷️
good job, I like it
Mica
ghostbusters missed some real oppourtunities is what im saying
spider baby 🕷️
nudls wants to do a like RE7 molded power, they can be. Disgusting. Together.
Mica
she's like if frozen were a horror movie and elsa made all the monsters that were hunting the stupid teenagers in the cabin in the woods
spider baby 🕷️
hahahaha
Mica
but with titty slime
spider baby 🕷️
pretty much
Mica
instead of snow
spider baby 🕷️
I'm sure Annie probably already had TShirt somewhere that said 'titty slime' anyway
Mica
Sure, this is fun for me
Mica
And anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm not actually going to be hired just because I threw up a pushy unsolicited plurk.
Mica
50% JOKIN AROUND, 60% TOTALLY SERIOUS, I GIVE 110% not like all the time
Mica
but
Mica
sometimes, when I'm having a good day
Mica
that's a 110% day
Mica
How about she has the ability to turn into a cloud of opaque mist, like in old vampire legends, except that it's really hard to control because technically it's splitting her psyche between all the tiny parts of particulate matter
Mica
so when she first gets it, she can totally turn into a little grumpy stormcloud, but she can't really control where she goes so she often ends up trapping herself in high places or getting sucked into the vents
Mica
but as she deepends her connection to the nest, she gains more ability to control her shape and size and direction
Mica
until she is legitimately a scary indoor lightning storm and can also go into small cracks and things to infiltrate stuff
Mica
also when she turns into it, at least at first, only she changes
Mica
so her clothes fall on the ground and a little misty cloud escapes
Mica
then she's stuck in the vents like "THROW A SHEET IN HERE OR I'LL FRY U."
Mica
when she gets mad because she can't turn back, she thunders
Mica
or rains
Mica
that's how she turns back, she has to rain back into a less gaseous form
gayest uncle
This is a good plurk
gayest uncle
Anyway I'm definitely gonna make a workshop thing because there are certain things we think about a lot in terms of symbiote abilities and how they work like.... in a pseudo science fiction way when we process apps and I think having that stuff written down and accessible would help
gayest uncle
But these are all really good dang
