Sounds are nice but silence is my real superpower.

A funnel of fun (we're all just tubes, right?)
Tapping in to the artistry of communication and language, my superpower is flow, creativity and jacked up muscles - as long as you regard the brain as a muscle. Hyperspeeding through this planet Gaia, friction is lessened and things manifest. ’Let me at it’ is the attitude, and building on site is the platitude.
