Hey, that ship actually made sense in context of the character being drunk and himself. As the hour of 4 AM is past, questions about fingernails no longer make sense.

Translation: Twi needs to learn that posts made on mornings when she wakes up early should be subject to extra scrutiny before posting because her overuse of the "hide" function is apparently driving her friends to madness.

Super weird question, Edge. So, according to a Cracked article on health and beauty products that don't work, cutting or pushing back your cuticles can give you Frankennails. (Google "Beau's lines" real quick. I'll wait. ... (Sorry about that image.) Anyway, Lucentia is pretty vain, and strikes me as the sort of person who would invest more time than the average person (which is to say, absolutely none) into fingernail maintenance. So what are the chances of this beauty queen developing super horrifying fingernails that even her powers can't rid her of? (I know there's a decent chance Calamity's weird mutation magic will keep her attractive and my question will be moot anyway, and that she could probably fashion gloves or something similar from her diamonds....but still. I had to ask.)

First Names (if you're comfortable sharing)

I think this plan deserves a try at least. -

Yeah, this forum is awesome enough that the worst I can imagine happening is our Vashikarian friends tracking you down to bomb your inbox with love magic emails. -
The lengths to which mankind will go for safety. In other news, I finally know where Wandersail's name comes from. I feel like I'm finally privy to a whole trove of inside jokes I never knew existed.

If phobias were weaknesses and Calamity had risen six years ago, my weakness would've been fish. And then there would be a whole slew of Epics whose weaknesses were clowns, small cramped spaces, creepy Halloween masks, and probably at least a dozen or so whose weaknesses were driving on the freeway. Now, that isn't to say those things are automatically excluded from being weaknesses; anyone could have a trauma plausibly related to any of those things (and the weirder the phobia, the worse the potential trauma becomes). I think the big thing about weaknesses is that they have to be personal and the tie to the Epic's past has to be unique to that Epic. Phobias are impersonal. The only way you could tie my former fear of fish to my past is that one night when my brother and I watched 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the squid freaked me out so badly I couldn't sleep. That wasn't trauma. That was just a quirk of psychology meshed together with a movie I might've been too young for.

I vote in favor. Flinging buildings around is a great way to destroy cities, I hear.

Thought so. I'll try to get that written tonight.

Which reminds me—I need to post for Remington, don't I?

Dear, sweet Kobold. Still mired in thinking that humiliating Lightwards is a bad thing. It's totally fine. I hadn't noticed. Maybe subtly, but with the characters it's used for—Arsenal and Lightwards, mostly—it makes sense, so it didn't feel out of place. But no, I haven't come across any turns of phrase that make my eyes twitch, a la Stephanie Meyers' overuse of the word "chagrin."

Spoilsport. I think he could revive soon. He'll be in a lot of pain (thanks, Nighthound ) but he could definitely answer.

"All right, Emma, I'm going to lead you through a visualization exercise. This helps me relax, and I think it'll help you too. Close your eyes. Now, I want you to picture a beautiful, sparkling ball gown. A gown in your favorite color, with a wide silk skirt and a lush bodice covered in intricate beadwork. Now I want you to imagine…putting Arsenal into that beautiful ball gown. You are using the Riddikulus Charm from Prisoner of Azkaban to put Arsenal in the beautiful ball gown. You are raising your wand to Arsenal, and with a mighty cry—"

With Epics, though, from what we've seen, the fear is always connected to a trauma, stems from a trauma, or both. Newton's fear of disappointing others was connected to her parents; Megan's fear of fire was connected to a childhood house fire; Sourcefield's fear of cults and poisoning was connected to her cult-obsessed grandparents poisoning her as a child. Though it hasn't been confirmed, I think it's safe to assume that Steelheart's fear of not being feared was also connected to some sort of trauma, and that Obliteration's fear (whatever it is) also stems from a trauma earlier in his life. So far, we haven't seen any Epics whose fear stems from a phobia, unless that phobia was instilled by some sort of trauma. As for David's possible power over water—I think Calamity has some way of knowing, or sensing, an Epic's fear. Or his powers know what to do and automatically avoid giving an Epic literal power over their fear, or the powers he gives are the same for everyone and the Epic's body just adapts. Otherwise, if he gave David waterbending powers with water as a weakness, David would be allergic to his own powers. Somehow, someway, I think the powers know to avoid whatever the weakness is.

Already finding character avatars for the spinoff, I see.

Except for Nighthound for, in a strange twist, he was behind the terrible Finger Puppet Invasion of Socktopia.

Wonder how the Portland Epics would react if Nathan changed his name from Traveler to Nathaniel le Sperre, Hand-God of the Northern Climes?
-
She would be quite pleased by Protector Pug finding the frog suit. Nathan and Revolution, on the other hand, would begin the plot discussed in the last few pages.
-
Right, he did. And Protector Pug is still a puppy too. Still hard to resist the lure of Voidus' pain med ships.
-
What happened to Sam x Protector Pug?
-
Protector Pug tilted her head. Suit. She knew that word. Suit meant clothes. Leader had rarely given her clothes, but he always talked about suits whenever he wore a different outfit. She had to wear the suit. She had to. But how to tell her new human? Protector Pug barked and spun in a circle. Then she did it again, spinning the other way. She wanted the suit. She would have the suit. Just because I think Protector Pug would look ten times better in a frog suit--or almost any kind of Epic outfit--than the actual Epics.
-
Nathan couldn't answer that. He couldn't think past the beautiful hippie on his lap, her eyes meeting his, lips close, so close... There was only one thing to say. One thing he could say. "You like sock puppets as much as I do?"
-
Frogsuit!Nathan/Sunburst? Is that a thing now?
-
Why??? Why must the pony creator lack a frog suit option???

To appease the Taylor Swift song, all of my characters are 22, and those that aren't 22 are feeling 22.
