SE: whenever you stop time, one random person on the planet will be fully conscious and aware of time stopping, waiting in agony to gain control of their body again

SP: no media can ever be spoiled for me. if i see or hear spoilers in any form my brain simply blocks it out/forgets it immediately

SE: As a natural SE of the SP, every media you watch/read/hear is essentially in ‘trial mode’ but you’ll have no ‘payment’ to ‘unlock the full version’ so after 1 chapter/episode, the media just stops abruptly, if it’s a book the remaining pages are blank, if it’s on a screen you’d see the screen go blank and the audio just suddenly muted, so it’s a curse. But here’s a tip, at least you can cope with non-canon fanmedia, which technically spoils nothing.

SP: I was born to be immune from schooling and chores, have an identity card attached to me saying that I don’t need to go to school or do chores, and as a result I’m spoiled with any and every entertainment I want. Relocating me to locations suggestive of schooling/chores generates a force field that shields me from others ever intending to impose schooling/chores upon me.

SE: You never learn. Also you and your living space are always unkempt, to the point where your “living space” is barely livable and you have difficulty not being noticed (and promptly avoided) in public. But like- no one’s gonna *make* you fix all that, I guess

SP: I am immune to bullets, specifically. I’m not immune to being pierced, or bleeding out, etc., unless it’s by a bullet. As a further example, I’d be immune to tetanus if I contracted it from a rusty bullet

SE: Well, it makes no difference if you live outside that one notorious land of bullet weapons, or even if you live in it, anyone who’s your arch-enemy would immediately notice that bullets don’t work on you and quickly grab other weapons such as knives.

SP: I have infinite attempts to change my height, weight, gender, hair/eye/skin color, like video game avatars, but it’s in real life.

SE: anytime you shapeshift, you feel the pain of all those cells dying and regrowing in an instant. the pain is indescribable :D

SP: i wanna be able to adjust individual people's volumes (like you can in a discord call for example) and adjust the volume of anything else making persistent noise

SE: others can adjust your volume too (depending on the extent of your powers, they may be able to deafen you too — essentially whatever you can do to those around you, they can do right back, but only to you specifically, as the one with the power)

SP: i can see and distinguish the entirety of the electromagnetic spectrum (without it harming me to do so). i can also choose to isolate my vision to only what is considered the “normal human” visible light spectrum so that i may still interact as i ordinarily would with society in my daily life

SE: it doesn't physically harm you to do so, but being able to see colors that are unimaginable to any other human causes you to gain a superiority complex and act like you're some enlightened god compared to everyone else (maybe you are but we don't know that). As a result your social life is ruined, however, the news stations like your crazy words!!


SP: my brain can generate truly random numbers (in cases where i need help making decisions)

SE: Truly random, and with no limits. no upper bounds, no lower bounds,  no natural numbers only, it doesn't even have to be rational. Or a real number for that matter. -2569.8782iπ for example.

 

SP: I can stop procrastinating all day and actually do something.
