My knack would be empathy. It’s already strong enough that I get headaches in large groups of people, especially if those people are particularly miserable (retail, shopping, sometimes movie theaters or family gatherings. UGH the family gatherings), while if I’m in a large crowd like a convention, where it’s all high energy and excitement, I actually get energized by it, though later on I crash and burn and spend the rest of the day listless. I think I’d have a strong enough empathy to know just how someone else is feeling, and possibly help reflect my own emotions back at them if they need a boost.

Since we are discussing knacks, I decided to put some thought into what my own would be. I agree with everyone saying it’s difficult! @.@

I decided to start from something that comes up a lot for me, and that is Anxiety. I overthink just about everything that happens to me, and I stress over situations that didn’t/won’t even happen (my cowriters can attest to this stressing nonsense). So I think my knack would be some kind of Prescience … the ability to see several possible futures just a few seconds forward, and the clarity to know which one is most likely to happen and act accordingly. How I wish I could actually do that!

I had a tough time coming up with what my knack would be if I were a BAU borrower, and I still don’t really have the specifics down for the idea I did eventually think of. I’ve always been a pretty fast learner, I pick up hobbies and skills with my hands pretty easily most of the time, so maybe my borrower knack would be something to do with that: picking up on information really quickly and retaining it well.

Like, I could peek into a room and do a quick sweep with my eyes, then pop back into hiding and still be able to know where everything is in the section of the room I could see. Or if I had a tol buddy to help me, they could flip really quickly through a book in my line of sight and I’d know every single page by the end of it (though that kind of information dump would probably give me a headache and nosebleed).

My knack? well, I like to think I can draw/paint fairly well so all of the bolt holes would be camouflaged like crazy. A sheet of paper stuck to the wall that looks like just a random section of foot board. Hiding in plain sight. I had an aluminum camper once that I painted to look like a log cabin. Nearly everyone that commented said they thought it was real wood and wanted to touch it to make sure. :D

It’s a great way to protect your entrances and exits, yet still make them wide enough to use! Plus I’m sure there’s plenty of ways you can put an ability like that to use…

I’m not so sure I would have a very useful knack as I’m super clumsy and not very physical irl. Maybe I could have the knack of medusa eye contact like in the kagerou project! Sure it’d be great to stop a human in their tracks… until you need to run or are caught in their hands. Yikes!

Stopping a human in their tracks would be amazingly useful if you needed to get away from them! The only problem is if they’ve seen you, they might tell others about you. Better lay low once you get out of sight and hope the others call them crazy. Fun knack!

Determining your own knack is hard! I would want mine to probably be based off of my favorite super power: telepathy. I don’t know entirely how, but I would likely be sensitive to the thoughts of others around me.

It’s a very useful ability to have if you’re worried the human might have heard you. You’ll be able to ‘hear’ if they’re considering seeking you out or if they just wrote the sound off as just the house settling.

Also, if you get bored and are strong enough, you can always get into someone’s head and make them think they’re hearing voices. Get them to leave out a snack or two for you if you need some food for the week.

I agree that picking your own knack is hard! I am easily distracted (can’t multitask worth beans), so maybe I could distract humans. Oh, you see a small human? Well, maybe you should concentrate on that shiny thing over there while little old me gets the heck out of here. I probably wouldn’t even pick up on the fact I was doing it. *Shrugs* I just must have gotten lucky again. (I am pretty oblivious too.)

Attention diversion would be a fun one! Make sure they look the right way for you to go on about your business, keep them from looking back.

(One character might have something close to this for their knack >w> Future things)
