Experience Tumblr like never before
So far The Power Fantasy has largely been an excellent execution of exactly what you would have expected from the previews which does mute the effect a little.
Then Issue #4 dropped and it's as at least as heavily telegraphed as anything that came before but this time that doesn't stop it hitting as hard as possible at all.
It's one of the most horrible scenarios imaginable. Your powers go out of control when your emotions get too negative and when that happens millions die.
Nobody can ever be too honest when it would risk that happening. You can't trust anything someone says to you. You can't develop any type of meaningful relationship with someone. Your emotional, artistic and moral development is stunted because nobody can ever confront you with upsetting truths. You can't even blame anyone because it's completely correct for them to instrumentalise you and to turn every interaction they have with you into managing you.
10/10 I've been screaming internally whenever I think about Masumi since her issue dropped.
