Fantasy should be about special people and non special people, it should allow the reader to feel special and not just part of a mass. Anyone can be special stories are just ways of saying that you never will be.

Any hidden orphan can be a prince/ss is far more satisfying to me than how everyone can be a wizard if they study enough. I hate studying.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, me too. I usually give the "normal" protagonist powers in my fanfic daydreams (i. e. the fic I write in my head that I will never actually write because it's the lowest form of idfic lol).

[(Anonymous)]

It's been ages since I've seen Frozen so my memory may be foggy, but did Anna ever even WANT magic in the first place? Because I don't seem to recall that she did. I didn't think she cared about magic in the slightest, she just wanted her sister back.

[(Anonymous)]

Encanto I get. It would suck to be the only family member without magic (it did for her). In Frozen isn't Elsa the ONLY one with magic? Elsa is the weirdo.

[(Anonymous)]

I love subversions of this, like Mashle, where the non-magical person is more powerful. It's always just funny as hell.

[(Anonymous)]

I liked what they did with it in Encanto but I get what you mean, if anything I think the grandmothers hypocrisy could have been shown even more if Mirabel had powers because she would likely have suddenly changed her tune and actually included Mirabel as part of the family when she had been shunned before for not having powers. But at the same time I don't know for sure.

Frozen is different however as Elsa was the outlier, not Anna.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel completely differently. As enjoyable as it can be to follow a character with powers, I love stories where an ordinary person among superpowered/magical folks manages to do extraordinary things. I find them hopeful, in a way that the alternative is not.

[(Anonymous)]

I totally get you, OP. I tend to feel the same way. It didn't really bother me that Elsa didn't have powers because only Anna had them, and Elsa didn't even seem to want powers, so it's not like she was left out of the extra special powers club.

But in general, yeah, I usually dislike when the main character is a normie in a world where powers exist. It makes me sad and frustrated for them, because frankly, I would want powers in their place and be really bummed that I didn't have any.

IMO it's fine. There's nothing remotely weird or bad about finding the idea of being special and/or powerful appealing. Power fantasies and specialness fantasies are some of the most popular kinds of fantasy for a reason.

Magic vs. no magic isn’t the only defining factor of “special.” Sometimes a character with no powers can still do cool things the other characters couldn’t pull off.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't hate the trope like you do, but for Encanto specifically I headcanon that not only did Mirabel get powers when she restored the magic, so did everyone else in town, which is why the visible magic ripple thing didn't just stop at the house and her family, but kept going across town.

I've only seen up through ep 4 so far, but I must shamefully confess that the size difference with him and cousin chet is enough to make me go "hm." Plus chet's thing for Lucy...potential for confused/guilty feelings about "am I actually into you or is it displaced lucy-feelings coming out?"

I would love a Highlander reboot! They could do some interesting things with modern technology and staying hidden in the age of social media that's different from the original, too.

Still rooting for a Sentinel reboot as well.

This is one of those things that definitely depends on the fandom.
I did use to read a few Ymir/Historia written as trans women in an ABO AU way back when the first series was popular - unfortunately the author had deleted all her works when the series took a turn and I regret not saving them.

Another thin weekend on the secrets front, glad I wasn't at work. None of these, from Friday onwards, would have seen me through a shift.
