One day I will write a story about the marshmalcontent.
This is tangentially related.
I saw this tumblr post talking about how magic probably exists, but it only manifests itself in the most mundane and boring ways.
Like... if your microwave popcorn never burns, or you always manage to get up right before your toast pops and jump scares you. Or if you're never late for stuff, even when you leave 10 minutes later than you should. Or if you're really good at catching things when you drop them. Mine was a super-human ability to make random guesses.
But anyway, it made me think about a story about people who get completely ridiculous super powers. And how for some reason in both the Marvel and the DC universe, if you have powers, YOU HAVE TO BE A HERO THERE IS NO OTHER CAREER PATH.
So I just imagined this group of people who have powers like a super human sense of smell, or the ability to memorize really long numbers, or the ability to mentally control items with the exact size and density of marshmallows. Having to fight crime because of course they have to fight crime, they have super powers. But the super powers suck.
