What's your superpower?
-
supe name: The Ductator!
I love it because at first you think hey, it is a play on Dictator, which must mean the superpower is being able to psychically control an army of ducks, which if I could choose which animal I could mind control with my super power I wouldn't choose ducks but sure, take what you can get right? There are after all ducks everywhere so there is probably some angle you can play with your super power there.
Nope though, keep lowering your expectations.

I have two superpowers:
Mosquitoes don't find me delicious. When everyone else is getting hammered, they generally leave me alone. When I do get bit, the bites barely swell and they don't usually itch.
Rock star parking- Anywhere I go, I always check out immediately in front of the place I need to be. There's almost always an empty spot, and if there isn't there's someone just leaving that I pull into. I dunno how that helps me fight crime, but it sure would be useful if I were a bank heist getaway driver.
I am not very desired by mosquitoes as well. I am bit if there are no other options, but I have no problems if others are with me.

Hyper-compartmentalization. Everything can be falling apart around me, high stakes, emergency, danger, but I just proceed calmly and steadily toward the goal. I am a rat in a maze, and each decision is just an ab node in a tree. I make best guesses and don't shoulda woulda. If I can't make it and everything is horrible, that was the outcome, I did the best I could with the knowledge/data given, or I put in what I felt was right, and if I'm wrong, oh well.

I'm able to predict when Holes, starring Shia Labeauf, is about to air on Disney Channel. If I have a strong desire to watch the movie, odds are it's about to air. I was able to do this for years.
I no longer watch cable tv. This power is vestigial. Nowadays when I have a strong desire to watch Holes, I just watch Holes.

I can sometimes see auras around people. It's fascinating stuff, but the strain of it can cause debilitating pain.
Western medicine calls it "migraines", but what does science know?

What else do you expect eating spoiled food? Am just curious.

In movies and tv people's throats close up and they need an epipen - so i am totally immune besides the stomach pains and toilet issues

Never considered this to happen I have to admit.
Always thought it's more some allergic reaction to food. -
I prefer music without vocals. Not sure if the Synesthesia is the cause. But my Synesthesia doesn't trigger on voices, which is an interesting way of showing that speech and sounds are processed differently in the brain.
The only way that voices trigger my synesthesia is when I can't speak the language and it's all just "gibberish noise" for me
The language thing is fascinating to me, thank you for sharing

Like based on the position of celestial bodies like the sun and stars or ?
At the start yes, because i was interested in survivalism and stuff and i love astronomy, but in the long run, i became so used to deduce orientation from celestial bodies I don’t need to see them anymore to find the north.
Kind of like some musicians who intuitively hear the music when they read sheet music, its due to habits (this skill is far more useful than mine though ^^').

I have extremely sensitive hearing. I can tell when there's an animal scarer nearby.
This brings me to Microsoft Teams. You might have seen people mention that their dogs know when someone joins the call before they do. That's because they introduced "ultrasonic howling" to detect if they're in the same room as you, and mutes their mic.
It hurts like fucking hell with headphones on.
I'm partially deaf but I can hear those really high whines anyway. I can pretty much only hear high notes.

I can't imagine how infuriating that must be. How do you live with it?

I can mimic sounds and voices almost perfectly after hearing them a couple of times. Although as a kid i mostly just did do that to troll people, it did prove useful exactly once when me and a bunch of people i was with were at a forest edge and were gonna get attacked by a troop of monkeys so I barked to scare them off (they often had dogs patrolling that area that the monkeys were afraid of) The monkeys ran away but it was equal parts funny and embarassing to have to explain to these people I barely knew what that even was since I had never told them that i could do that
