Incredibles Super Lore- Everseer
(All from an Incredibles DVD bonus (you can watch it on yt))
(Context Rick Dicker is interviewing other supers)
A personal favorite of mine, I like when super powers have a kinda downside that makes you think... hmm maybe I wouldn't want super powers [._.]
He is constantly seeing microscopic germs on everyone and everything. This is not a power he can turn off and on like other superheros in media (superman) This causes him to be germaphobic not liking physical contact.
I find it funny and disturbing that he can read the minds of animals and especially doesn't like mind read squirrels minds. WHAT ARE THESE SQUIRRELS THINKING?
I feel like he would be a better superhero working from the background like reading the villains mind and coming up with a plan since his very intelligence is high. But maybe not in the fight... In the voice recording he mentions "I can knock 3 people into a wall if I need to" he also mentions that he can make people perceive that they are being beaten up and win that way. So this guy can kinda mind control ppl? That's crazy. At the end of the voice recording he goes on a hysterical rant on how germs are everywhere and nothings clean. He was also part of a small team called The Phantasmics but that's another post.
Thx if you read all this interesting lore! :D

me doing the mental math of should i eat like oh its late and probably dinner time but oh thats hard to cook but also im gonna make instant ramen(safe food) because i have a bowl that lets me make it easy but also ill have to wash it(water based sensory issues) immediately after because i dont trust any dishes or utensils once my brother has 'washed' them but thats fine because its just one thing but also the sink is full which means ill be hovering over it and i dont know what those things were and thats draining so maybe i just wont eat tonight cuz thats so tiring but also i havent eaten at all yet today so i should because technically ill need the energy if i dont want to be head and stomach hurting at work tomorrow so maybe ill eat in the morning but i cant do that because if i do ill get nauseous and in pain all day because my body just fucking hates food i guess. god my ramen just finished too which means im actually gonna have to wash the stupid fucking bowl in the stupid sink with the stupid dish clutter with the stupid water and the stupid nasty ass sponge and its gonna get all over my hands and i wont be able to touch anything for awhile and im gonna feel like detergent and its gonna get inside my bones and yada yada yada my noodles have been done so long the sooner i move the sooner i have to wash the stupid bowl and stand over my brother's stupid nasty failed attempt at clean dishes like im not germophobic i love germs i literally put my hand in my mouth on the regular and would lick the floor if someone made the insinuation of a dare but that shit specifically is disgusting like omg get that away from me im gonna actually kill myself
i should go eat the noodles now

It’s amazing how people went from * coughs on you * to * coughs on you while saying “don’t worry it’s not COVID” *
Ma’am. Ma’am. I still don’t want to be sick or spread it to others. Ma’am.

Should have known I was nonbinary when my answer to "should men always put the toilet seat down or should women always check before sitting" is
EVERYONE SHOULD PUT THE COVER DOWN BEFORE YOU FLUSH YOU'RE SPREADING PISS AND SHIT PARTICLES ALL OVER THE ROOM WHERE WE KEEP OUR TOOTHBRUSHES

10:37pm — Saturday, January 27th, 2024
Also genuinely forgot it mention this
But I had an allergic reaction to something in my house last Tuesday night, and the effects of the reaction carried onto Wednesday and finally died down at midnight that Wednesday night.
And it really got me like paranoid about every little thing especially when my anxiety is high. Because it could’ve been worse like it could’ve been like anaphylaxis. I just got lucky this time. And it doesn’t help that for some reason, for the past week and a half, my eyes have been super irritated for some fucking reason. Like they’ve been super itchy and they’ve been getting red easily.
And I know it’s because in the past month I’ve been ignoring my allergy meds and that’s probably the effect of it, but it’s been a week and a half since I’ve been taking them regularly and they’re still irritated as hell. And I’ve gotten back on my allergy meds schedule BEFORE I had an allergic reaction, so it’s all rlly confusing stuff.
And this isn’t the first time I’ve had a reaction like this. I had an allergic reaction last year during my AP World History Class JUST BEFORE taking a test. The only difference was that that experience, the reaction only really impacted ONE eye making it all swollen and red. My other eyes was swollen too, but it was mostly the other eye, while my face was really itchy and bumps started appearing. And I tried using the knowledge I learned from that experience to this experience: I remembered the Secretary gave me eye drops and some kind of medication, plus gave me some ice packs to put over my eye, so I did the same. I didn’t have the same medication she gave me, so I just went ham on my primary allergy meds and hoped for the best. I also remembered my mom giving me Hydroxizine for the itching, so I did the same. It didn’t work, none of it worked and that’s when I had to barge into my sick mothers room (my mom had Covid; my life’s going wonderfully right now) and show her what was happening, and naturally she freaked out which made me freak out. My mom instead suggested that I put a cold wet towel over my entire face throughout the night, which is what I did. And thankfully the swelling went down.
Anyways all this rambling is just to try and sum up why I’ve been feeling dazed and fogged up for the past couple of days while at the same time incredibly anxious, especially in terms of Germs. My mom has germophobia, and at first I made fun of her for it, but as time went on and I’ve started caring more about my life, I’m realizing I’m sort of relating to my mother in that aspect. It’s only gotten worse with this allergic reaction, I never thought it’d happen again and the fact that it was due to something that was in my house and I still don’t know what that something is is making me more consciously aware of how many germs are constantly in the room with me.
Anyways that’s it. Bye.

this happened a while ago but i still feel conflicted about it. (tw: mention of germophobia, mention of suicidal thoughts) and this might get very long, so sry about that.
am i (18, F) the asshole for not wanting to try on shoes?
i know that this must sound super weird, but basically i have a pretty extreme phobia of germs and my dad (60s, M) took me spontaneously to a shoe store to buy new shoes.
now i’m also autistic, so this spontaneous change of plans was already pretty stressful for me, but i tried to hide that and pretended to be okay with that.
the thing is that i had only one “clean” pair of shoes (like clean on the inside, not the outside obviously) and like those got dirty/muddy when i was on a walk with a friend and it rained really extremely. the evening after that, i spent like an hour trying to get those shoes clean again bc otherwise i don’t know if i could’ve forced myself to ever wear them again. i did everything i could and even sanitized them like 5 times (i know it’s excessive but it still didn’t feel like it was enough). i can make myself wear them again now but it takes a bit of (internal convincing everytime and like even if i only had them on for a few moments, i change my socks and shower afterwards everytime because i just can’t handle it otherwise.
and basically my dad doesn’t really understand my mental health because i’m not good at explaining it (when i talk about this irl i always end up in tears, no matter how hard i try to suppress that and then i end up feeling bad for crying and then i spiral), but he still noticed my discomfort with my current show situation. that’s why he wanted to buy me new shoes, and rationally speaking, i was very grateful and thought it was a good idea. but emotionally, i was very distraught from the change in routine and i knew that this store was very small and that it’s basically guaranteed that all of the shoes there have already been tried on by someone.
i know that’s technically normal and not a big deal, but it’s honestly really disgusting to me and i don’t want to try on shoes that anyone else has ever worn (and especially not if i don’t know who wore them or when or how clean those people’s feet were). i knew my dad wouldn’t understand that reasoning, so i tried to just say that i don’t like the shoe brands that store has or that i want a different type of shoe or that i don’t like the design etc etc.
and then we came across the exact type of shoe i was already wearing but in black (mine were like dark purple) and my dad was like “great, you like black and you already like the brand and that specific model!” and i obviously had no excuse anymore for why i didn’t like that one. so i just admitted my actual reasoning for saying no to that and all the others.
my dad ended up opening every shoe box and i was right that all of them (in my size) had already been tried on. i really wanted to just force myself to look past that and try one on anyway, but i just couldn’t make myself do it.
i was on the verge of a panic attack tbh (i get those a lot from this phobia), but i managed to kinda keep it in check. my dad and i ended up leaving the store but i could tell that he was really annoyed and so i apologized but that seemed to only annoy him even more.
the car ride home was at first pretty awkward, then it developed into an argument where i tried to explain my phobia but i think i only made it worse on accident bc of the emotions and then we were just kinda silent at each other for the rest, until he tried to make some small talk and i fucked up (because i can’t control the tone of my voice very well due to my autism and i was still emotionally messed up), so then he got a bit passive aggressive again.
when we arrived at home, i hid in the living room (no one really ever goes there currently) and had a bit of a meltdown. i was really spiraling- like suicidal thoughts and googling for a painless suicide method because i felt like such a pathetic disappointment and failure of a daughter and human being. eventually after like half an hour, my mom came looking for me and found me sitting there, sobbing in the corner. she asked what happened and bc i felt really ashamed i didn’t want to tell her, so i said i’d explain later.
i wasn’t really able to stop crying completely that whole rest of the day. like i got some moments where i was outwardly calm, but on the inside, i wasn’t able to really calm down at all until the next day. usually my mom is pretty understanding of my phobia but not of me crying, so i was very surprised when she completely took my side after she heard what happened from my dad’s perspective.
by the time, i had stopped “hiding” in the living room, my dad had already fully calmed down as if nothing happened, but i still felt (and still feel) really bad about it, because i know he only had good intentions and i messed it up completely. my mom told me that he had offered that i could just look up some shoes online and he’d order them for me instead of going to an in-person store for that again, but i’m not sure if that was really his idea bc it sounds more like something my mom would propose. i do like that idea, but because i’m not sure if it was actually his idea, i haven’t said anything to him about it. i just feel really bad that my parents didn’t get a normal daughter, because i feel like my mental illness makes everything harder than it has to be and they don’t deserve that, but i don’t know what to do (therapy is unfortunately not an option currently).
What are these acronyms?

Hug them properly | Chisaki Kai (Overhaul)
Tumblr media
TW: non, just Pops scaring Kai. Maybe some OOC with Kai, but, I don't really know...
Summary: You both fall asleep on the couch, his germophobia impeding him from holding you close to him. Buy perhaps there's someone who can change that.
A/N: I'm so sorry for the shity writing and the bad english. I hate myself 😭
-----------------------------------------
Now that was interesting.
The fact that Kai had used his day off for something that wasn't more of the same work he was complaining about 24/7, was, indeed something to celebrate.
He was in fact quite enjoying his day, for the first time in... Has he ever had a day that was enjoyable?
Pulling his pitiful life aside.
He was there, just, smiling very slightly. It could be unnoticeable for someone who didn't quite knew him, but, for those who did, it was a miracle.
At the end of the day he even asked you to stay there, when normally you would force your presence and proximity. You didn't decline (you would have been a fool if you did so). You stayed there, grateful for his sudden request.
Everything was pretty good. Actually, you were surprised he was being so kind and attentive.
You cooked together, took a quick shower, you first and then him, and after that, went to the living room to watch a movie or something.
Now, there, there it was, the first inconvenience of the night. He was being so sweet, but you knew he wouldn't be willing to cuddle or anything. He just wasn't capable of that... But, you didn't blame him, after all, it was really unexpected that he had let you bathe on his shower, so, that was at least an evidence of how much you didn't bothered him.
You did want him to hold you close tho... But who did you think you were to make that happen? aside from his partner.
Well, all you could do was at least hold his hand, right? That was enough. That was all you were willing to ask, and it was ok, because he even took of his gloves. That was kind enough, right?
After a few minutes, you felt asleep there, Kai almost falling asleep too, but he wanted to take a quick glance over you and your features. How your chest slowly went up and down each time you you respired, and how your eyebrows were truly relaxed after such a cute day. He was in love... He was in love and wasn't capable of showing it on a usual way, but, after that day, he hoped he has reassured his feelings for you. He went looking for something to cover you up with. Placing a blanket over you before returning to his own seat.
He tried to get a little close, but the anxiety was starting to creep out from the back of his mind, and God, wasn't it a torture?
Then the door opened. He saw his father's eyes moving from him, to you, asleep in the couch, and then again to him, on a very weird attempt to get his arm around your shoulders but being too far away to do it properly.
He was at least half a meter away from you.
He was really a rare case, huh?
Now that was something to be pitiful about.
"Kai, is your arm ok?" Pops asked with a little smile.
The golden eyed man just trying to disguise the fact that he was in fact trying to set some contact but failing roundly on his attempt.
"Yeah, it is"
"It looks... 'funny', what are you trying to do" wait, what did he even meant by 'funny"? Did he looked that bad trying to do this?
"No, it's just, I was trying to..." what was he even trying to do? He didn't know about this kind of stuff. He was like a damn teenager.
"Cuddle?" the old man laughed down low, not wanting to wake you up by accident.
"I guess so"
"Well, you're not doing it correctly, let me tell you that" he crossed his arms, standing there like a father about to lecture his child.
"I know..." Kai started scratching his skin, the anxiety creeping closer but this time because of his father almost looking down on him.
"You have to hold them properly"
What does that even mean?, he thinks.
The elder stood close to the couch, smiling in your direction with a hint of warmth. Then he started making sings that were too weird for the yakuza leader to understand.
"What?"
"Move onto them", the elder said almost as an order, his patience being tested by the 27yo unexpected man infront of him.
Kai did as he said, looking at his father very awkwardly, and then at you, even more awkwardly.
"Now, you have to wrap your arme along their shoulders."
"Why?"
"You really didn't just asked me that"
"Ok, ok..."
He did it, finally. Holding you close.
It was...
"How does it feel?"
"It is... nice. They feel warm"
"That's the magic of proximity"
"It is kind of weird tho..."
"I hope you do it frequently enough for you to get used to it" the elder said, pointing a finger at him. "And that's not a suggestion" oh. "That's an order from your boss" the elder laughed. "Are you going to sleep here?"
"I don't really want them to wake up" he started to relaxe a bit more as he spoke, the tension going away, and the anxiety slowly disappearing too, instead, now there was an unknown feeling of warmth in his chest. "I would like to stay like this with them", your head slowly felt into his shoulder, and you snuggled up to him, flustering him even more.
The elder left the room.
He looked at you, feeling like there was nothing better than this.
It had been a wonderful day, really...

SICKNESS Part 1 - static au TW: Emetophobia/Germophobia triggering
Mark Heathcliff.
There seems to be no source to Mark's illness. Black bile overbloats his body as he begs for the pain to end. Cesar resorted to wearing a mask for general protection as he assists Mark in the bathroom. Mark weeped and sobbed, shaking from the emptying of his feasts. His vomit was dark colored, each throwing would shade to a pitcher hue. It didn't seem as if it would have the same texture as vomit, it seemed oily, dense and all grouped up.
Sarah looks from afar, outside of the bathroom, concerned; The doctors prescribed medicine intestine flora related, but everything seems to worsen. His chest aches, as if something is begging to crawl out.
Jonah payed a visit, making sure he'd be fine. They talked and chatted, Mark occasionally coughing, and once on Jonah's hand. The latter didn't notice, scratching an itch in his eye. They left the house, saluting the people inside.
Since then, Jonah wasn't seen.
