ive never actually been outside new york before so im wondering
what do people even do for fun in michigan?
stand at the bank of lake huron and yell insults at canada?

ive done some searching and this universe doesn't even have jupiter jim!! which obviously makes it inferior to my own universe
u guys are missing some prime cinema

[He won't even start on the lack of Lou Jitsu movies because that's his dad and thinking about it bums him out.]

less important question: does anyone else who fell through the weird sky hole have powers that aren't working right?
asking for a friend

exactamundo

kung fu hustle and back to the future obviously
haven't heard of those other two

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

oh MAN

Ok, Princess Bride: peak 80s fantasy, lots of witty banter and swordfights, also hilarious

Pacific Rim: Giant robots powered by FRIENDSHIP, one of them uses a container ship as a baseball bat

[faceguy]

ok they both sound rad
ill have to check em out

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

pretty sure they're both on Netflix!

to answer your 'less important question': it has been known to happen, sometimes confluences can mess with your powers or give you totally new ones

[faceguy]

give totally new ones?
man that's lame why didn't I get any
hold on im gonna see if I can shoot lazers out my eyes

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I believe in you and your eye lasers!

also, just guessin from the icon that you like turtles, try chatting some up! Talking to animals is a VERY cool power and it's always worth checking if that's a thing!

[faceguy]

[She can't see it but he has a good laugh over that one.]

oh yeah turtles are my favorite thing
especially red-eared sliders, they're objectively the best kind of turtle
snapping turtles and box turtles are pretty great too
not softshells though
the losers of the turtle world if you ask me

ill see if I can talk to any [He's sad she can't appreciate how funny he is.]

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

ok, weirdly hot take on softshell turtles, did not anticipate you having a beef with them

but seriously, go to a zoo, try talking to some of the animals! NGL, it will absolutely get you weird looks, but if it works, it'll be totally worth it!

[faceguy]

one bit me when I was a kid

[It was his brother and he probably deserved it.]

I guess nothing ventured nothing gained
is that what u do?
talk to animals?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

[ listen, no jury would convict donnie ]

squirrels specifically, yeah! working on chipmunks too, but I can't quite figure out the accent.

[faceguy]

[Only because they're afraid they'll get bit next!]

chipmunks have an accent? well now I gotta know what its like
hick? jersey? midwestern?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Nah, it's... it's not a one-to-one translation, but it's kinda like the difference between North American English, and English spoken in a really thick Glasgow accent. Like, you can tell it's the same basic language underneath, but the pronunciations and dialects are totally different. Maybe France-French and Quebecois-French would be a better comparison.

[faceguy]

oh so like real different different
im learning all kinds of things today
I bet different turtle species would be like that too

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Oh for sure! If I ever meet someone who talks to turtles, I will tell them how amazingly cool they are first, and then ask for all the linguistic deets. They'd probably go by Turtle Teen or something!

[ she is firmly convinced that alliteration and rhyming are vital parts of superhero names! ]

[faceguy]

turtle teen? surely there's something better
like
terminator turtle
or turtle-tastic

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

oh those are REALLY good!! you have a knack for this!

[faceguy]

thanks! if I need some extra cash maybe I should offer my services as a superhero consultant
