putting all the anons in one post because they are all cool, but i can’t flood my dash with forty asks!!! these are all so amazing omg.
this is weird but my low-key superpower is making random insignificant predictions that come true? like 'leave home early there'll be a traffic jam' and 'you're going to get experiment 9 for your exam' but the predictions are never for me? and only happen when I'm not thinking.
Regarding the secret super powers!! My brother's godmother can always find a parking space no matter how busy it is. even if people have had to leave the car park and they couldn't find a space, as soon as she pulls into the car park someone will be leaving and pulling out a space so she can park.
car parking space wizard is a legit skill to have
im really really good at fucking things up at one go. flawlessly, incorrigibly fucking things up.
Mundane superpowers: I have an uncanny ability to guess the next song on the radio and win trivial luck-based games
One of my proudest tiny superpowers is , 9 times out of 10, I can guess the time within a 5 minute window. Even waking up from a nap or just waking up, no alarm, I can do it. I will admit, the time changes and the changing day light can trip me up a bit for a week or two, but then I adjust and it’s just as accurate as ever.
i also have this skill and it’s my fave
If you’re still doing tiny super powers, I’ve always been really good at singing along to songs I don’t know very well. My mom asked me about it once and all I could say was “I just sing what rhymes and makes the most sense.” Also, while entirely useless, on almost multiple daily occurrences the song that is about to come on, 1 or sometimes 2 songs down the line, pops right into my head. Even on the radio, I’ll have a song in my head and turn on the car to find it just starting.
the best ones are generally useless though? so many to do with music!
Little super powers- I can get any baby to fall asleep within 10 minutes no matter how cranky/ over tired/ sick that child is. I think I must have a very soothing rocking/ bouncy walk. Also, I'm weirdly good at standardized test. I can usually just tell which answers are wrong. This was great in high school and significantly less useful in grad school.
i do not have the skill to soothe babies and i envy yours
I’m convinced I have some sort of timing superpower. I get into/become aware of media things just in time. Decide to watch a cult classic 80s movie and get into it a week before the announcement that it’s getting a broadway adaptation. Decide to check twitter again after forever just in time to load the page and literally watch Ed Sheeran come back from his isolation to announce the new album. Check out and get into an old band I’ve vaguely heard of...days before the reunion tour announcement.
You know the voice in that back of your head that goes “haha what if this mildly bad thing happened”? Mine just seems to be right too often + in the weirdest situations. Example- I was going to a game at school and had a fleeting thought “maybe i should change. Wouldn’t it be funny if I wore the outfit I happened to be wearing all day and that ended up being the color of the other team. Lol that would be funny.” And then of course that is in fact what happens. Coincidence? Ya probably but idk
it sounds like you have great intuition tbh
My lttle superpower is somehow having just enough obscure knowledge for whatever ridiculous situation my friends and I get in.
you are the Most Valuable Friend
oh, also, i am really good at drawing straight lines. like i never use a ruler to draw straight lines because they always turn out super straight. i'm weirdly good at drawing perfect circles and triangles, too, which really came in handy once i started taking geometry! :D
if i hear any piece of music/melody, i'll never forget it. when i watch tv with my family and i recognize a piece of obscure soundtrack/background music, i'll immediately recognize it, hum along, and identify where it's from. family members won't believe me until i find the original music on youtube and play it to them. i never forget.
i love that so many of these are musically minded!!
my superpower is, i can hold my breath underwater up to like four mins on average, five is my record. :D
my superpower is getting those around me to smile and feel happy. i am the person that is called and texted when things are sad because i am, as one friend put it, "sunshine funneled into a person"
My lowkey superpower is oven timing. A solid 90% of the time, if I am cooking something in the oven, I will get the urge to walk to the kitchen and see if it's done, and it's usually within 15 seconds of being correct, sometimes around 45. However, I feel it's pretty useless because that's the exact function of the oven timer itself :c
PLEASE COME BAKE COOKIES @ MY HOUSE
My lowkey super power: Stealth. I have unintentionally scared a lot of people, some of them multiple times because I just don’t make much noise when I walk and then I’ll just be in the same vicinity as them and I’ll say something and they just jump out of their skin. I’ve taken to knocking on walls as if they’re doors when I enter a room. Or sometimes I’ll intentionally stomp as I approach so I don’t have to deal with shrieks of surprise.
i love that you have to KNOCK ON WALLS to announce that you’re there
dk if it counts but I'm really good at reading and listening to music at the same time and then hearing a unique word as I'm reading it (instead of just like "a" or "the")
i’m not sure i follow? like a unique word from the book is in the song?
My superpowers are that I have a horrible memory generally but have an uncanny memory for fun facts I always have one handy for pretty much any situation, and I dream about places I've never been to before then forget the dream soon after I wake up and then go to the place years later and have a flashback to the whole dream
i have had dreams about places so specific and familiar that i 100% feel like i’ve either been to before or i will eventually visit
