#augh. tide. fucked up in the club at 4am thinking about him......

[intertexts]

have we talked about new haven wards tide yet i can't remember. oooooo im distracting you again im gracefully dodging all the things you are throwing at my head from the tranches (im intangible) (ghost powers)

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE!!!!! ohh u r so evil & distracting... making me think about new haven wards somethink i notoriously never think about everr.... all the things im throwing at u are goofily passing through ur intangible ghost head... ANYWAY. TIDE.

everything i have for him is super loose.. i think i said earlier that he's very similar to legend, in that he's one of the few really genuinely good capes out there, as idealistic and hopeful as you can really be, in. this setting. he's definitely very popular and maybe isn't at the top of the new haven protectorate, but he's really up there!! & also. grabs u. bounce this shit back n forth with me dude. u have Knowledge now. what do u think. i.... don't. Know. if he even Gets depowered in this au. like, as u said!! really the only way to depower a parahuman in this world is fucking lobotomize them, & even then-- that doesn't really work, it just breaks their control over their powers. we could definitely do some power nullification shit, or like, an arm master type beat & send him to a farm upstate on house arrest... & then again, the overlord situation that led 2 his depowering, like, would Not be as big of a deal in this world, i think? like sure it would be a fumble, but i really don't think it would be grounds for anything major...

anyway. also. in this world i think he's also much more of an unofficial mentor? since the wards are overseen directly by the prt & not the protectorate (they're lateral or whatever the word is) and they definitely have an unpowered prt boss & handlers. & also maybe because they r So Powerful they want someone to be a good example for them & tide is. the best example!! or maybe he just has a personal interest in them n wants them to do well. & also i think. y'know. he's their fucking fish dad :((( literally nothing terrible has 2 happen to tide ok. idgaf. if we brain soup tide i Will cry. these guys (nhw) have two things goin for them n those things r each other & him!!

power wise.... this is possibly the most woke up at 330 ass thing i have ever said but i do Not have brain to think about power specifics rn...(gasp). i think honestly his entire powerset just. fits neatly into worm exactly as it is. & i stilllllll need 2 watch the elementals oneshot!!! but he n his siblings are cauldron capes for sure... maybe they are clones maybe not. but. i will not touch on either the cauldron or the clone thing for now i dont wanna spoiler u.... what r ur thoughts???
