Grrl Power #1495 – Motivation
Yes, you can level up your superpowers by using them. Mostly though, you’re just getting better at using them, learning all the tricks and power stunts you can pull off, and well as learning finer control. But the actual power output, in the cases where such a thing can be measured, can be improved as well. That doesn’t mean in a decade or two, the whole team will be as powerful as Maxima, but they will be more powerful than they are now. But at some point, age will start to erode that fine control, and pushing their powers to their limits will cause their sciatica to flare up more and more. Super powers don’t stop aging. Well, unless your particular suite of powers actually does do that.
Hiro isn’t emasculated by having a woman boss, or by the fact that she’s a fair bit stronger than him. I mean, that’s what he tells himself, and he almost totally believes it. All his actions support that. He doesn’t go sulk in his room or make snippy comments or anything of the sort. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t mind beating Max at arm wrestling one day. Those hormonally motivated imperatives are hard to resist. Guys don’t mind carrying in the 40 pound bag of dog food or cat litter while the wife/girlfriend carries in the bag with the crackers and instant ramen, and we don’t mind getting tasked with getting down something from the high shelf in the kitchen, because all the testosterone swirling around in our brains is whispering to us, “This makes you a man…” So yeah, Hiro would like to be stronger than… well, anyone, if he could swing it. He just doesn’t scuff his feet and pout when Max does something out of his tier.
Speaking of FTL communication, I had 4 paragraphs written suggesting that FTL travel or communication might break something fundamental about the universe, as you’d be violating the physical limits of the rate of information propagation, but… I started posting too late and couldn’t articulate why I thought that might screw things up. Not that I’m remotely qualified to lecture meaningfully about advanced physics. It was just a thought I’ve been kicking around for a while, but I don’t think what I was writing was making enough sense to spark any sensible discussion. I’ll have to noodle on it and see if I can make it make sense. So in the meantime, just enjoy the page.
Oh, look who it is in the vote incentive. The NSFW version is finally up at Patreon. Plus a bonus pic.
I think she would get in trouble for doing this. She’d mess up the… floor of the waterfall? Is that what it’s called? The receiving pool? No, probably not that. Anyway, she’d churn things up and cause a ton of weird erosion.
Since you might be wondering, Niagara Falls is about 165 feet high, so Babezilla obviously doesn’t have to be full sized. I’d say she’s about 175-180 feet tall here?
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
