Hiya!! In your fantasy au (I’m sorry I forgot how to spell what the actual name of your au is 🥲) do the gang including the curtis’ have any weaknesses? And if they do how do they affect them? would they need help if they came into contact with their weakness?

(Literally obsessed with your au man 🤭)

Ooooh thank you!! I love hearing that people enjoy my au 😭🫶🏻

But yes!! The gang does have weaknesses! To even things out I decided that if a human cuts a piece of a Wretched off (for example taking one of Darry’s feathers) would give that human the ability of that Wretched. So if you cut off one of Darry’s tail feathers you would be able to control fire. So that could count as a weakness say if someone with a fire bound’s body part went up against Dallas—

There are small things though too! Like Pony is light bound, and if he’s in the dark for too long (like pitch dark-he gets energy from sun and moonlight-artificial lights somewhat but not really) he’ll get seriously sick and will end up dying or becoming Unspoken (which basically means his powers took control of his mind)-maybe i’ll do some angst w that lol

similar with Soda, like he can use his electricity for all sorts of things-he can act as a generator and can jumpstart cars like no other, but if he expels too much he ends up getting really sick and needs a bit of a “recharge” which can take a few days, or another electric bound could transfer some energy. Soda can also “overvolt” to which he becomes impossible to touch because he has so much electricity stored in him and it hurts a lot

Darry can’t really go into the water for too long-he also can’t really be in the cold for too long either. This part’s kinda based off Pokémon but Darry has a flame at the top of his tail that if he lets it go out he’ll end up getting so incredibly sick and could even die. Same with his chest fire-the reason they made him the shed he sleeps in now aaa because when he outgrew the house it had rained real bad that night and Mrs and Mr Curtis walked outside and saw that he was hardly breathing and the flame on his tail was so weak—it took days to get it to regenerate but he was practically in a coma. Real scary.

With Johnny since he isn’t necessarily your run of the mill element bound tends to be a little bit stronger, but it’s easy for him to slip into hallucinations, especially if he’s scared. He was actually given Alora and Almos (his little squirrel companions) because The Celestials thought he would need it and need the help regulating things, especially since it’s that much easier to slip into insanity when you’re bound to something that isn’t an element (dreams, time, sound, etc.) but with him pretty much any element can be used against him just the same and it would hurt just as much. I’m still working on a design concept so i’ll have to get back to you on him and two bit haha

But Dallas is much like Darry. He can’t be in the hot for too long and is absolutely hurt by fire and heat. Him and Darry have to be careful when hanging out sometimes—it’s how his brother Rusty was killed, Dallas has this ice chip embedded in his chest and if he gets that thawed somehow he’d die or get sick. Rusty was killed because they shattered his to the point he couldn’t regenerate it. I’m still kinda formulating him lol

Once I get an idea of Two’s design I’ll get back on him-

Steve and Ace are very much similar to Darry and Soda—Steve can’t be in the cold and Ace runs the risk of over or undervolting. Despite them both being metal bound it’s still a possibility. They’re also magnetic to an extent so do with that what you will.

It’s still a work in progress!! I didn’t have much time to do the rest :( but seriously i LOVE hearing that people enjoy my aus 🥺 This made me so happy to answer—if anyone else has any questions feel free to ask!! I’d love to answer!!
