My eyes would bleed by the end!
What would your knack be? Let us know!
I’ve been thinking about this for a few days. After tossing the paper onto the porch to get it out of the driveway this morning and watching in mute horror as it headed straight for one of my freshly potted plants, I’m going with telekinesis. It’d be a super useful knack for a borrower caught in a room needing a distraction to send a human away from a bolt hole or hiding place!
Walt can attest: Telekinesis is amazing.
The headaches are a bitch if you try to freeze a human in place though XD

May 11th excerpt:
Rumsfeld nosed at Sam’s jacket then whined at the dark splotch that covered one arm, tenderly licking the tiny limb.
“It’s okay,” Sam promised. “It’s not my blood. I just didn’t get a chance to change my jacket.”
In the sb excerpts, Jacob’s been living at home with his family, downsized (I’m guessing his mom found him when he first got shrunk), before he got snatched by someone. Is it Dean? It feels like it might be Dean.
We were going to keep it a secret as long as possible… That 22-year-old, young and bright-eyed hunter that broke into Jacob’s house and kidnapped him… is the one and only Dean Winchester!
“Was it something I said?”
Undeterred by Jacob’s refusal to respond, Dean crept closer to the edge of the dresser, beginning to size it up to estimate if he could just reach under and grab the kid out. The space under the furniture wasn’t much, and he wasn’t sure how far his arm would reach before getting stuck.
Keeping the light on Jacob and his head sideways against the ground, Dean gave the kid a grin in an attempt to win him over. “C’mon, I just wanna talk to ya!”
Jacob didn’t believe that for a second. He took another step back, feeling crowded in even more as the guy moved closer to the edge. He could only see half of the man’s face, and it was still overwhelming. There was too much confidence in that half-smirk he could see.
I am an excellent climber so I think that would be my knack, who needs a fishing line I’ll just go up the side
That would be a fun one! You could have a telekinetic ability that makes you stick to the wall, or the static cling one from earlier could help you get up. Instead of spiderman, you’re spider-borrower. Sam won’t be able to catch up!

This one would be particularly useful against rats. No one likes a mouthful of electricity (though in their case the weird tingling in their whiskers might serve as a warning). Lets just hope it’s something they can actually turn off when they don’t need it though…
They’ll have to work on practicing once they realize they’re doing it on purpose, that’s for sure. They don’t want to accidentally be lighting up the room when they’re trying to sneak away with supplies!
Via @enby-phoenix:
I think, especially the younger kids, this is perfectly possible. Luckily, in normal cases they don’t build up enough static electricity to stick to the walls, but if someone’s power is static electricity… Someone might come home to find an annoying younger sibling sticking to the wall and glaring daggers.
I know I already have my own knack, but I caught myself wondering what other ones could be hiding in the walls. And a funny one that came to mind was static electricity. Any human that tried to catch the borrower would get a small jolt, but on the other hand they’d be a literal magnet for all the dust and other stuff that gets attracted by those energies. Plus making everyone else’s hair stand on end ^^;
That kind of ability would certainly come as a surprise to the lil guy! Imagine as they grow older and get stronger with it, running around zapping their friends with mini lightning bolts when they’re bored, and sticking stuff to the wall with static cling!
There’s certainly a wealth of possibilities for what borrowers could have in the walls, and not all of them even realize they have it, or are like Walt, and never manifested it (the extreme stress he was under during The Ties That Bind is what broke his block in the end, giving him the chance to save his family).

Im pretty good with my hands when it comes to working on cars, drawing, or fixing things. So I think my knack would be being able to make something useful out of useless items🤔.
I think Dean would be pretty jealous of that kind of ability!
If we classified this, it would probably be a very low-level version of Reality Warping, or essokinesis, one of the stronger abilities a borrower could have. It would take a lot of effort, and likely leave you with a headache and bloody nose when you’re first learning how, but it could be very useful in small doses.
I make it this because all borrowers are great at Macguyvering their equipment from very limited access to supplies, so to go beyond that is something special indeed.

I’d like to think I would have telekinesis, but probably weak, but it would help me move faster or fall slower, but I hate open heights so I don’t know how much help it would be.
If you have trouble with heights, this would be super useful! Just think, if you freeze up one time when climbing and fall, it would be the perfect way to keep from crashing into the ground! Practice enough and you could make it like hitting a pillow when you get a few inches away from the ground.

I feel like me knack would be like I could feel when someone was feeling down or something I would do all I could to cheer them up :) I mean not useful when borrowing but lol
Not everything’s going to be useful when borrowing, and that’s okay! They’re useful survival skills, whether they help get food and supplies or not. Keeping the people in your community calm when there’s a disaster happening can be just as important as being able to snag a few extra crackers, and this kind of ability is perfect for that.
