- i don't remember the full extent of it already
- it was a nap dream
- stuff is already slipping away but here's the best i have in my memory
- i was a kid who had superpowers in a school where people learned how to use superpowers
- like sky high but a little lower powered
- not quite as prevalent as BNHA
- i also wasn't me
- i was just playing this kid
- anyway, superpowered people have a different thought process called "zooming" that keeps them cool and introspective during moments of high anxiety
- kind of like in the percy jackson series how everyone has ADHD because that's their "warrior instincts"
- supers have said super instincts, which manifests as Zooming
- Zooming is universally a Good Thing, because it allows them to make high tension decisions in moments of stress with clear thoughts
- and it is a good way to decompress after a long fight, by letting your mind wander and going to Zoom sort of like a nap in a couple of minutes
- Anyway, my character couldn't Zoom
- he could, but every time he tried he was struck with this immense anxiety and started hallucinating incredibly badly
- which, in retrospect, was just dream logic kicking in
- but stuff like collapsing on the ground and being unable to get back up
- and his hoodie crawling over him and beginning to smother him
- very real, full-sense hallucinations
- so Zooming was, obviously, not good for him
- but it was also something that can't really be avoided, only trained
- it just happens
- (which is why i compared it to percy jackson adhd)
- So here this kid was, a scholarship case in one of the better super schools, constantly hallucinating and tripping over his own feet and freaking out all the time
- (there was a little BNHA leaking into the dream)
- so at some point he goes home and tells his mom to stop buying this luminescent, thin liquid medication thing that's for superheroes
- i dont remember what it was for but i think it was a kind of eyedrops
- and he had a suspicion it was making it worse
- and then it, uh
- turns out his mom is possessed by this ancient villain spirit
- and that's why he has such bad zooms
- and his dad is possessed by that spirit's antithesis and has to keep the villain down
- and it's not like he was some kind of special kid for this, the spirits were just kind of taking a trip through his parents momentarily
- anyway then Dream Logic happened and i sort of warped back to before the whole spirit nonsense got involved
- so this is near the end of the dream but i spent a while wandering around on this boardwalk
- while this spirit thing was chasing me and taunting me
- similar but not the same as the one that possessed my character's mom and then didn't because dream retcon
- like, appearing in the corners of my vision and fucking with me when i was zooming
- my character was concerned because a lot of villains apparently had a problem with zooming
- that drove them into villainy because it fucked with their heads
- and he was like "no i don't want to be a villain"
- so then i was back at Hero School having a talk with my friend that was a lady
- a real Urakara type
- and she was reassuring me, like "you aren't a villain because you have bad zooms, you're a hero because you want to be"
- and then i got called down to the principal's office
- and it turns out there WAS a villain in the school, hiding out amongst the students, and they wanted me to find it
- because i had the brain of a villain but the heart of a hero (or something)
- and then i woke up and rushed to write this down
- the end
