Norse disabilities

I read Percy Jackson as a kid and always liked disabilities being hidden supernatural perks. So this is what I made for heathenry

I haven’t read the Magnus Chase books, so I don’t know if they have anything like this

Ginungagap? The yawning void in which existence sprang from? The abyss from which things fade out of existence? Meet dissociation and depression, bitch. It can’t hurt you if you’re as empty as it

Dyslexia? Guess who can naturally read runes. Can’t read a book for shit, but you can clearly define the true forces behind reality

Audio processing issues? That’s because your familiars are across the realms, picking up info. You just can’t discern it yet, you need practice

Adhd? That’s the hunger, the breath of life, the fury that Odin gave. He’s got plans for you and you can’t just sit around and wait for them

Selective mutism? Vidar, the god of silence and revenge, became silent as part of his vow for vengeance. Pay attention, because when you lose your words, it means you have some pretty heavy shit to prepare for. Prep for that destiny, it’s coming. Watch. Listen. Actions speak louder than words

Asthma? You weren’t built for this Midgard air. You were made for the wide open skies of Asgard. To you, this air is suffocating

Sensitivity to light? That’s because you are supposed to be in the land of dwarves

Color blindness? That’s because the land of elves have different colors altogether
