You and your sibling have opposite powers. Your sibling can charge objects with potential and kinetic energy, while you can absorb potential and kinetic energy. Most of the time, people are worried about your sibling. That is until you lose control of your powers.

anyways as i mentioned earlier here is my absolutely nuts 'analysis' of Boboiboy having autism, and how each of the seven elementals kinda showcase a heightened version of an autism symptom-
so we're gonna go down in order (of manifestation for the elements)-
Boboiboy himself- he's just got the vibe, y'know? But also; it's been established he had no friends prior to moving in with his grandfather, which, y'know, is quite strange for a "normal" kid his age. He also tends to look at the people around him to know how to react in certain social situations (usually the person he looks to is Gopal which. Isn't always the best choice). Also the strong sense of justice is obvious (including that he goes so far as to help villains as well). (Yes this can be an autism symptom).
Halilintar (Thunderstorm). hear me out. Halilintar manifested due to overstimulation. I mean obviously the phobia of balloons is a huge factor here- but being in distress due to loud sounds is exactly one of the things that causes overstimulation for autistic people (could contribute to why he has this fear in the first place). One of the ways people might react to overstimulation is by becoming irrationally angry. Basically what I'm saying is that Halilintar spends most of his time on the edge of a meltdown-
Taufan (Cyclone). autistic joy. listen LISTEN. it's DIFFERENT from other people's joy, okay? a lot of autistic people experience emotions very intensely, it can full out take over you. also as far as i remember (it's been a while) he was the only one who had such an intense reaction to the mood changing potion- sure, the other people who had it were locked in one emotion, but none of them went as wild as he did- because he felt it a lot more intensely.
Gempa (Earthquake). i will admit, i struggled for a moment with Gempa- but honestly i think it's because he is, in my opinion, the one who's the most similar to OG Boboiboy. other than the heightened need to protect, which likely includes the sense of justice, I think Gempa is the one who masks the most out of all the elements. This is also why he seems to be the most neutral element.
Blaze and Ice. I'm doing these two together, because technically, their origin points are from the same thing: Burnout. It's just two very different responses to it. On the one side, Blaze is trying to, ironically enough considering the name, prevent burnout, by relieving stress (by doing things in the middle of night while no-one is looking and there's no pressure of social interaction). When there is too much stress, he falls into an overstimulated state similar to Halilintar's. On the other side, Ice represents the more depressed side of burnout- aka what happens after you actually burn out. It's why he's tired all the time.
Duri (Thorn). Okay so technically Thorn first manifested in battle but we're ignoring that. His tier 1 manifestation, as we all know, was mainly most definitely because Boboiboy got a concussion- but! Here's the thing; I don't think the concussion is why Thorn acts the way he does (though it's probably a part of it). I think, Thorn is just unmasked. The others all mask on some level, but Thorn just, doesn't. He doesn't really care how others might perceive him if he does 'childish' things or says things that no-one else understands because they didn't make the same connections he did, and he certainly doesn't care that deadpan telling someone their outfit is terrible might hurt their feelings, it doesn't even occur to him. He doesn't mask at all.
Solar. Again, technically manifested during battle. However once again we are ignoring that. It was established that the manifest condition for Solar (as Light), was for the elemental master (Boboiboy) to "expand their knowledge", and "read more". And, well, I know Boboiboy specifically read a bunch of science and history books and stuff, but honestly I don't think it really would've mattered what he chose to use to expand his knowledge, because Solar's main autistic trait is special interest. Because Boboiboy mainly focused on science and stuff, that became Solar's special interest, hence why he rambles off about formulas and stuff, and why he likes doing experiments. He hyperfixates on that stuff.
now. i could do the fusions... but honestly i haven't thought about the fusions enough to draw conclusions, so we're sticking with this
not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of ‘no, wrong’ and maximizing the amount of ‘yes, and?’ for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if that’s what they are, or confidently telling us that’s what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids don’t like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like “It looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, you’re right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what they’re called?” you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker
The last moments of this video is just struggling so don’t worry
And then comes in Boboiboy, who always reassures, always cares for his elementals. What is the meaning of this? I almost killed you human. Why do you care?
I gotta make a name for myself. So call me muffin anon/MA.. But I don't mind nor care if you make it canon! Also Retak'ka.. yeah I wrote him to be very very just Not Good. And a bit ooc but still imposing an active threat despite there only being Cahaya
Muffin anon!!!!
I absolutely love how your fic was written, hes so menacing, the was hes portrayed, how solar's fear was formed and how uneasy he was because of Retakka suddenly being reassuring
Knowing retakka is only doing that because his tool being damaged or damaging themself is crucial to him having power as that is the very thing giving him power in the first place
i have decied to update my boboiboy gamma design
heres the boy!
The reluctance to consume new media is so real
I used to dislike LoR because of a certain friend who adored it as well as seeing it constantly pop up in random places on the internet, but as soon as I took a bite of the devil's apple myself I found myself hooked. Both the Red Mist and Gebura themes have been mashed together and fused in this cover to try and make a more complete song.
We boutta enter “bully Amato arc” again? If so, we have:
The elementals giving Amato the stink eye in ES AU
The brothers mostly not caring about Amato’s presence, choosing to vibe with other people instead in BO AU
The only way we were able to make him stay with his kids is by blocking off the sky and technological advancements-
Eun opened people up to boi being mad at amato yes
Amato is a suckass dad and may this spread
as much as i like people making boi still dearly love amato and them still having a sweet relationship when they reunite
Let the orange boy have hatred for his dad
At this point it’s not heathcliff influence anymore they’re just insane
Funnily enough I do have a nugget OC who’s a blood fiend, except she knows she is one and mlems the blood in secret. Tries her best to hide it only to learn her circle of friends is perfectly fine with it
everyone: Your a bloodfiend!!??
The scoundrel: im a what now?
it would be SO funny if they didn't know. an ordeal ends and there's blood splattered all over the hallway and as soon as everyone else walks out of the room they black out and wake up 2 hours later having mlemed up all of it. and then someone else walks back in and they're like dude how the hell did you clean so fast. and the scoundrel's like well obviously im Just That Good (they have no fucking idea)
A backup account in case the other evaporate, you can find me lurking
