DE: Damn you trees....

[bjornwilde]

From seat_five_girl:
Inspired by the fact that I can see pollen drifting along the sidewalk.

Allergies.

What are pups allergic to? Foods, dust, pets, silver, energies?
How badly? Itchy eyes, shock?
Just how much do they want to pave over the universe in spring?

We specifically decided at one point that sprites don't have allergies. I suppose certain types of sprite might be more susceptible to certain bugs, though.

I don't think Enzo has any known allergies as a human, either. Some aspects of that form are influenced by his sprite self (such as a preference for cool weather); I daresay that's one such thing.

Felix has no allergies as far as I know. Though in at least one of my AUs his father is allergic to pets.

Fluttershy is allergic to attention. Somehow it keeps finding her...

Kain breaks out in horrible sneezing fits when he encounters poppies. *just made that up now* *totally headcanoning it anyway*

[damncompass]

Joshua has pretty bad seasonal allergies. College was awful for him, as the state 'flower' of Nebraska is actually more the state allergen. (Damn goldenrod.) It's mostly miserable sneezing, itchy eyes, that sort of thing. He gets smacked with it both in the spring and the fall. As far as I know, he doesn't have any food problems or pet issues.

Helena is a bit prone to respiratory crud, but that's not as much an allergy as a side-effect of Victorian London. Other than that, she's not the sneezy type, nor has any food issues. She would likely tell you that she's allergic to mysogyny and idiocy, however.

Other people break out in lumps?

[1nv1nc1ble]

Lumps, bruises, and occasionally spontaneous bleeding and/or concussions. 'S weird, really. :)

Amascut, unlike a good portion of cat haters, is not allergic to cats. She is good at sniffing them out, though. There are a certain group of cats which may prove hazardous to her health, however. Well, not!cats who are stuck in cat form because of her (and then her brother's meddling Stupid death god granting eternal life to not!cats *grumble grumble*).

As for paving the universe over? Well, that's a given, but the way plants just squirt their sperm into the air in such vast quantities is sort of sickening. But underwater, even some of the animals do it that way. Ew.

Claudia has some dust allergies, but they don't kick up as badly as they used to. She still keeps claritin on hand because you never know, but she's gotten used to her work environment now.

I'm not sure if Red has a silver allergy as such, though if I recall correctly, OUaT did stick with the 'silver weapons are about all that'll slow a werewolf down' shtick. It didn't kill her outright, though. A high concentration of flowers will make her sneeze, but I think that's more due to her heightened sense of smell than anything else.

It's not an allergy (he probably has one or two of those hanging around, though), but Regulus has hemophilia. As badly inbred as his family tree is, he's lucky that's all; it's at least something he can patch up with a charm when he sees the problem.

Andrea, like all weres in her canon, is allergic to silver. It doesn't kill them outright unless it is a vase quantity gets into their system. Actually, I don't know that it would be considered an allergy as the metal is toxic to the Lyc-V virus that causes lycanthropy in her canon.

I keep thinking Hank is allergic to something but I am not sure what. I'm tempted to go with strawberries cause I'm cruel.

I've also thought about give Quinlan odd food allergies since he's not human and canon doesn't go into what the differences between kiffars and humans are.

[herr_bookman]

Canonically? Birds! Which is hilarious given that the main protagonist and the antagonist (bonus: and their minions, too) are feathered.

[seat_five_girl]

For mine, since I brought it up.
Ako: mild problems with dust. Nothing noticeable really.
Artemis: No allergies! Slightly allergic to truth? It's a common problem in her family.
Janet: Not strictly an allergy, but my feeling is that she has some off reactions to drugs. Times and strength of response are to high or too low, that sort of thing.
Tyler: His arms get itchy when he has shellfish. He's not sure if it's a real issue or if it's just in his mind and he should probably get it tested.
Robo: ...Robot. So no.

[1nv1nc1ble]

Viltrumite immune systems can conquer small countries on their own, so Mark's never suffered from any kind of allergies and hasn't been sick since he was very young. Canonically, there is a anti-Viltrumite bioweapon that will affect him, but that's not so much allergies as death.

[mnt_mike]

This guy here is lactose intolerant as a human.
It's nothing a few Lactaid doesn't take care of, which is why Mike's entire medicine cabinet is chock full of bottles of the stuff.

Aang will tell people he's allergic to sea prunes, but that's mostly so he doesn't have to eat them.
(They're gross, okay?)

I think that might be it, actually.

[boomsticking]

All of mine are thus far allergy free canonically.
