It's not literal it's a figure of speech. No one's ears bleed unless it's like a sonic boom underwater or smth idk I don't know how sound or sound powers work.
People in my world can do it but it's not magic. It's wind powers, blast powers, or body mod powers that can do that, I think. I haven't seen it done personally.
OH. Um, pretty boy what's his name... Sturmhond, he called me an Inferni. They're called pyros in my world. Hydros for water, cryos for ice, terras for earth, aeros for wind, etc. We're into Latin and that kind of shit.
Once or twice, a long time ago. Yeah, something like it. We're called superhumans or powered humans, for the politically correct. Superhuman implies we're better, somehow.
Yeah. Sort of. My parents almost sold me out. My kind, they're... pretty much entertainment. They would've gotten paid a lot had I not ran away.

I barely dodged the worst of it. I didn't get processed, but I was shoved into the military instead. I was... tested a lot. Trying to see how far I could push my powers and what my breaking point was.

A lot worse. 10x worse. Like ears bleeding probably.
no subject
Why would you make music that makes your ears bleed?

In fairness, some of these worlds have magic that could likely do this.

no subject
Windpowers? Like an Etherealki?
no subject
A what?
no subject
Apparently not...
An Etherealki is a summoner. A Squaller is an Etherealki that can manipulate wind. Inferni = fire, Tidemakers = water. All Etherealki.

You talked to Sturmhond? He didn't mention this to me.
So you're like an Etherealki? Only your world's version of one?

We're called Grisha in my world. Though powered humans is fairly accurate, too.
no subject
Uh, let's see... so there's powered humans for me, along with mutants, benders, mages, and now Grisha?
That is a lot of power.
no subject
More than we ever had at home.
no subject
So how'd they treat you guys?
[Because so far it's been either they exist and are accepted or are hated, but nothing quite so brutal as what she knows.]
no subject
It varies from country to country.
But generally? People fear us at best. They torture and murder us at worse.
no subject
So you know what it's like then.
no subject
Your world isn't any better?
no subject
Nope. idk if worse but, the same.
no subject
Then I guess we do understand each other.
no subject
Nice to know my place isn't the only place that's terrifically fucked up.
no subject
Maybe in different ways, but similarly so.
Did you ever suffer any of it?
no subject
Yeah. Sort of. My parents almost sold me out. My kind, they're... pretty much entertainment. They would've gotten paid a lot had I not ran away.

I'm sorry to hear that. I never had it as bad as others I knew. I was luckier. Still, I don't like to hear it happening to anyone.

I've always wanted to fix it in my world.

You're a better person than I am.
