Senshi: Hmm... I don't have much cream on me, since it spoils easy, so let's cook both methods and see what we like better.

*cooking montage*

Senshi: Hm, you're right Marcille, this does taste better. It's sharper, and the butter provides all the creaminess it needs

Marcille: ^w^

Chilchuk: I dunno, I don't really taste a difference

Marcille: >:O

Senshi: Butter and cheese are both more stable than cream... thank you Marcille, now I can make alfredo even if I haven't visited the orcs recently

Marcille: Wait, I don't remember seeing any cows in the orc village...

Sorry if it’s a little cramped- had to make this all fit in ten photos. Hope you guys like it….. and again…. sorry Andrew

BUT

Shards seek out hosts with the potential to trigger and the temperament to use the power they would get. But obviously there's a limited number of shards looking for hosts and plenty of people considered too passive to be picked. I'd be very surprised if for every parahuman there weren't at least five people that went through roughly similar shit but didn't trigger.

How many Taylors never met their undersiders and ended up dropping out of school. How many Amys had their sisters die in their arms. How many Vistas never got an escape from their shitty home lives. Hell, how many would be brutes just died from whatever injured them.

It's important not to downplay the severity of what capes go through to trigger. Their powers don't solve their problems and getting them isn't worth the pain. Having everyone that gets hurt get a power just wouldn't work, that would be like 10% of the population. The plot necessitates triggers being rare.
