  1. i don't remember the full extent of it already
  2. it was a nap dream
  3. stuff is already slipping away but here's the best i have in my memory
  4. i was a kid who had superpowers in a school where people learned how to use superpowers
  5. like sky high but a little lower powered
  6. not quite as prevalent as BNHA
  7. i also wasn't me
  8. i was just playing this kid
  9. anyway, superpowered people have a different thought process called "zooming" that keeps them cool and introspective during moments of high anxiety
  10. kind of like in the percy jackson series how everyone has ADHD because that's their "warrior instincts"
  11. supers have said super instincts, which manifests as Zooming
  12. Zooming is universally a Good Thing, because it allows them to make high tension decisions in moments of stress with clear thoughts
  13. 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
  14.  
  15. Anyway, my character couldn't Zoom
  16. he could, but every time he tried he was struck with this immense anxiety and started hallucinating incredibly badly
  17. which, in retrospect, was just dream logic kicking in
  18. but stuff like collapsing on the ground and being unable to get back up
  19. and his hoodie crawling over him and beginning to smother him
  20. very real, full-sense hallucinations
  21.  
  22. so Zooming was, obviously, not good for him
  23. but it was also something that can't really be avoided, only trained
  24. it just happens
  25. (which is why i compared it to percy jackson adhd)
  26. 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
  27. (there was a little BNHA leaking into the dream)
  28. so at some point he goes home and tells his mom to stop buying this luminescent, thin liquid medication thing that's for superheroes
  29. i dont remember what it was for but i think it was a kind of eyedrops
  30. and he had a suspicion it was making it worse
  31. and then it, uh
  32. turns out his mom is possessed by this ancient villain spirit
  33. and that's why he has such bad zooms
  34. and his dad is possessed by that spirit's antithesis and has to keep the villain down
  35. 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
  36. anyway then Dream Logic happened and i sort of warped back to before the whole spirit nonsense got involved
  37. so this is near the end of the dream but i spent a while wandering around on this boardwalk
  38. while this spirit thing was chasing me and taunting me
  39. similar but not the same as the one that possessed my character's mom and then didn't because dream retcon
  40. like, appearing in the corners of my vision and fucking with me when i was zooming
  41. my character was concerned because a lot of villains apparently had a problem with zooming
  42. that drove them into villainy because it fucked with their heads
  43. and he was like "no i don't want to be a villain"
  44. so then i was back at Hero School having a talk with my friend that was a lady
  45. a real Urakara type
  46. 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"
  47. and then i got called down to the principal's office
  48. and it turns out there WAS a villain in the school, hiding out amongst the students, and they wanted me to find it
  49. because i had the brain of a villain but the heart of a hero (or something)
  50. and then i woke up and rushed to write this down
  51. the end
