Bingo 21: Liberate John and Seraphina both want to be free (liberated) from social strictures and expectations somehow. But the rules of the world they live in are not developed. But is you sort of imagine a My Hero Academia world where more people are un-powered than not, it makes a little more sense. They both seem to think that you should judge folks for who they are. Not whether or how much power they have. Sound familiar? Unordinary is highly cliché; this is the […]
