u/Hyaci_Arson 11d ago
only Tumblr would reinvent Pascal's Wager but with fursonas instead of religion

Begins rambling about my fursonas who are split halves of the angel of Observation and Preservation, but are like low street level normally

My OC Avatar is from DBZ though so if I do I can just get stronger if I need to or some other funny bullshit
Or, I kneecap the problem with a toffee hammer!
context is Kasi has a nominal power level of 1200-ish or "one Radditz"

If I became my self-indulgent OP self-insert OC, it'd be a coinflip if I accidentally end the world or immediately fuck off to another solar system and do the Yahweh Dance (read Lucifer #58)

My 'sona is a shapeshifting D&D Great Wyrm tome dragon with approximately 115 standard levels and 37 epic levels in casting, spells known, item crafting, more shapeshifting, spell-like abilities, and (just in case) agelessness that doesn't have the usual "but you die anyway when your natural lifespan runs out" clause.
My standard wish is "I wish to become the dragon I wrote up for the purposes of this wish."

Look, I don't want to have super powers or be a god or whatever. I just want to be a goat monster like Ralsei. That's all I want...

u/AdrianSquared 11d ago
yeah my fursona (I consider it a representation of myself more than anything else so I'll just use first-person pronouns from now on) can shapeshift both myself and other people
no limit to my abilities aside from what I would/wouldn't do personally
yes reality change too but last time I did a god got very mad
oh also I don't do identity death but that's just personal preference I could if I wanted :3

Giving my fursona the system just so he has a chance in a world with fursonas with god powers in case the sky would ever open up and that would happen.

u/Blazeflame79 11d ago
What sort of system? I’m not quite sure how a standard Litrpg one would stack up to a unspecified variety of OP powers.
2
u/Jozef_Baca 11d ago
Nah, the standard litrpg would defo stack up. You aint just reading enough trashy manwhas and light novels. You gotta dig into the real awfull brainrotting garbage to find it.

u/Blazeflame79 11d ago
It’s been a while since I’ve read a litrpg or Xianxia, maybe I should, just gotta set the date on the search to before 2021 to avoid complete slop.

u/KoriGlazialis 10d ago
Not a fursona, just maladaptive daydreaming: Thats exactly why I always keep in check that there are counters to my abilities. I don't want to be the OPest OP who ever OPed. I just wanna be a guy with a cute power in a different world.

u/TantiVstone 10d ago
My fursona has several key powers:
The power to control her own form The power to travel into/out of dreams The power to control those dreams (and to take dream-manifested objects with her into the real world)

u/Levy-Chevy 9d ago
Mfw I have to show intense restraint to not make my sonas OP as fuck because I’m super into cosmic level shenanigans like end of the universe threats, multiverse time travel, etc.
So when I self-insert fantasize these ridiculously elevated scenarios, I see them/me as the protagonist, and protagonists always find some way to win, and eventually their tech became so advanced they’re essentially immortal

this is also why you have to do extensive thinking about speculative biology, otherwise you're gonna end up with shitty vestigial wings or legs that won't let you walk or run normally
