Well hello everyone, another completely superfluous thread from your friendly rainbow manatee ( ShuddupIknowIamnotreallyamanatee).
And today's topic is as useful as ever:
"What is your completely cartoonish superpowerweakness?"
You know, the one weakness, by right, one should not have.
Are you especially ticklish, but only between your first and second toe?
Are you susceptible to superflous synonyms or annoying alliterations?
Do you have an innate fear of bicoloured waterfowl?
Can you only remember two facts about ducks and both of them are wrong?


As is tradition, I shall start first:
I am easily jump-scared by unexpected text messages. And only text messages.
If I get a call I didn't expect, no problem.
If I get a response to a text message, or maybe a text message I have sort of been expecting (like when you make plans with a lady and she texts you that she can't make it #Hunkofburninglove)

But if I get a text message I did not in any way expect, my heart fucking stops.
Point in case:
Today I called up a female friend of mine and she didn't answer.
Now, given that I knew that she might be working, I of course wasn't too disappointed and stopped crying after only 2 minutes.
AND THEN SHE FUCKING TEXTED ME!
Good LORD, I nearly died right there.

I could feel my heart skipping a beat, right before going into fucking overdrive. When I woke up again, paramedics were performing CPR on me, apparently I had been dead for a considerable amount of time.
(I may or may not have made that last part up.)

My point being: I really shouldn't be this fucking startled by getting a text message.
BUT I AM. And I can't help it. I can't help it at all. So if you ever want to mildly annoy me, send me an unexpected fucking text message.

Now it's your turn: Fess up, what is YOUR cartoonish weakness?
(Please nothing serious, keep it light-hearted, nothing that will make me feel like an arsehole for having posted my pitiful excuse for a weakness).

My cartoonish weakness?

Cartoonish weakness.

No really, I'm 6'3", 140 lbs. I work out three times a week, and I benchpress 95 lbs. I would trade my super power, my endlessly vast knowledge of nearly everything, just to become the second weakest guy at the gym.

holy fuck, you're a stick. definitely need to get more protein flowing through those veins of yours.

OT:

I hate incredible soft things with a passion, as soon as i pick something up or rub against something that is soft, my skin/brain freaks out and i want to immediately go wash my hands and/or touch something with lots of friction.

fucking weird, i know, i can't help it. I nearly cried when my dad made me put on these pillow covers for the couch.

Magnets. I become incredibly paranoid that my belt buckle or any other metal on my clothing will become magnetized and that they'll erase any data on my computer or digital camera.

I have a wider range of hearing than average, and i can hear distortion and tones some people can't. Voices and noises past a certain pitch physically hurt me. Mostly it happens with high pitched whining from poorly maintained cars and speakers though during a very painful period of my life when i had to watch the third season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic one characters screeching left me with a feeling like i had just survived a cerebral bore attack.

I am creeped out by raw tomatoes and having things in between the big toe and the next toe.
Seriously, I can't look at people's feet if they're wearing flip-flops.

Yeah, that as well. Although it might be because I'm comparing myself to people a lot older than me. My grandparent's tv makes this high-pitched noise they can't hear, but that makes me unable to be in the same room.

Also certain scents. There are soaps and other cleaning products I can't use because they make me nauseous.
Oddly enough, I'm not bothered by many animal-smells a lot of people find bad, for example I like the scent millipedes make to drive you away, and of course my ferret.

Also I don't like bright lights.

Scraping ice, the sound will destroy me.

That goes for both natural ice (frosted windows etc.) or people 'biting' on those frozen water with foodcolouring things...

Driving makes me all kind of nervous. I could just be driving for a quick jot to the grocery store I grip the wheel real tight and hunch over real close to the window like a cartoon of an old man driving. Good heavens if I ever have to drive for longer than an hour my back is always so sore and my hands so sweaty.

I really don't like driving.

I literally can't touch butter
I don't like butter or cheese, but for some reason touching butter to me is like a bath of spiders for an arachnaphobic
(arachnaphobic is a word right?)

I know what you mean. Scraping ice off a window is fine for me, but I cringe whenever I hear someone chewing on the stuff. Whenever I eat popcicles, I have to slurp on it for a while so the ice becomes mushy when I finally bite down.

I can only eat and drink cold or lukewarm things, since I scald myself really easily. I've been told my shower temperatures are "freezing" and that I am immune to cold. I cannot get too close to a flame or heat emitting things (which sucks, because I love cooking). I burn very easily (both by hot things and by ordinary sunlight).

I have since concluded I am an ice elemental, with the corresponding fire vulnerability.

Also, you are not aware of how saturated our lives are of heat-emitting things. Trust me, you aren't. I've been burned by things others find pleasantly warm.

Though I guess that, as far as "cartoonish weaknesses" go, fire is a very sensible one.

Captcha: muffled rap music. So that's yours, huh, Captcha? Interesting.

Hmm... I'm gonna have to go with my attention span. Seriously, its the oddest thing. I know a bunch of stuff and can piece stuff together, but I can not ever pay attention in class. Ever. Whether its because I'm sleepy, uninterested, and even if I'm interested I simply can not pay attention.

Otherwise my cartoonish weakness whilst playing video games is teleporting enemies. Whenever I'm up against a enemy that can teleport anywhere at any time I simply freak the hell out.

My love of actor Jude Law. My dog divorced me, my wife ran away from home, and my children won't speak to me, all because Jude Law is the perfect human being. They'll never understand!

My cartoonish weakness is calling something then doing it anyway.

"Oh if I teleport behind him he's 100% prepared to instantly punish it, calling it. So obvious."

*teleports anyway*

"OH GOD! HOW DID HE KNOW?!"

I take obvious traps as challenges. I will knowingly spring this trap and STILL win dammit!

Or my Vergil is literally that bad. They know how to quickly swap sides to block a cross up teleport? OH FUCK! GOD DAMN! WHAT THE FUCK?! I'M DONE!

Well Phoenix has instant teleports with no start up time. It's a joy to play her really... For all of 5 seconds before she gets instakilled in 9 hits or less. Best balance EU by Capcom. I would love an alternate Phoenix where it's the same but with more health but you don't have Dark Phoenix to fall back on. You could only have one or the other on the same team of course.

My ability to injure myself. Mostly it's just small scraps and bruises, but occasionally (like a few hours ago) I do something stupid.

I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but what's really weird is I'm 6'3", 150lbs, and I bench 195 pounds. HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK!? BLARGH! I'm almost twice as strong in almost every muscle as I was last year, but I'm the exact same weight and build (a skinny guy, basically). Again I say, BLARGH! Frustration and rage plague my every vein!

My cartoon-ish weakness? Styrofoam against cardboard will produce a sound that is worse than kryptonite to me. Every limb will collapse, I will swallow my tongue, and my eyes will sink into my head and fade into darkness. It's a horrible sound, is what I'm saying.

I would say that my cartoonish weakness would be that I get hilariously mad when I drop something on accident. I'll be sitting around and accidentally slip a paper off my desk or something and I just lose it. Doesn't matter if I'm having a good day, or a bad day, or whatever. I just hate it so much for absolutely no discernible reason.

Car horns.

They startle the crap out of me.

I'll generally be lost in thought whenever I'm on my bike, and a loud sudden honking noise will immediately and brutally snap me back to reality. Resulting in me quietly pissing and moaning for the next few minutes.
