Most Read Stories

Planescape: Reading a fiend's mind is dangerous. Even the lowliest of manes has experienced and caused more pain and suffering than most mortals can dream of, and trying to look into a demon's thoughts can drive a man insane from the horrors he sees there.

Monsters : In Maldoror's Mobile Suit Gundam Wing AU fanfiction, the pilots are vampires, werewolves, and so on. Except for Quatre who (as in the series) is an empath. The "steady diet of fear, greed, lust, anger, and the occasional nugget of happiness" makes him the most scarily psychotic of the lot. It is also not recommended to read a mortal's mind without permission, unless you want to lose your head. Not because of the mind-reading, but rather the angry, sword-wielding Wardens who know too well this kind of thing will almost inevitably turn you into an out-of-control psychopath. The best way to empower someone is to educate them. Education is not contained in a single format but can take many forms. It does not just empower an individual, but all others in their environment as well. Telepaths in the show hate hanging out with normal humans — both Sookie and the bellhop-telepath in Dallas have actually mentioned their preference for the vampire community because of their power out loud, on-camera. Similarly, Level Up has a short in one of their literal Pokemon moves videos. Medicham uses Mind Reader on Mr Mime and learns Mr Mime’s Google search history.

Invoked by Batman in " Only a Dream" when almost the entire League is incapacitated by a Dream Walker villain. Batman is the last of them to keep himself awake, and warns the bad guy that his mind is not a nice place to be— as in, even a hostile intruder would take damage from the kind of thoughts Bruce lives with all the time. This year is going to be quite a beast for the genre. I’ve read a couple of the titles here already and they’re fantastic. A Light Most Hateful releases October 10, 2023 from Titan Books.
