Would these powers be supernatural, or bound by the laws of physics? Like, does glowing require extra calories? And does my electrolyte balance go out of whack when I’m in water?

"Okay but that's a bad analogy because I just turn ten stories tall when I get wet."
Would the insides of my eyelids glow? Cause fuck that if that’s the case.
No, only the outside of your body
I love to swim and the water one sounds really inconvenient. I choose glow! You would never really be afraid of the dark- like your own personal night light. Maybe i could get a job doing those nighttime ghost tours.
Damn, if I choose option 1, I'm gonna have to apply for the CIA.
spoiler
cuz "glowie"
If I put part of me in say a glass of water then would it just be the part in the glass that slowly grew and how fast and how much.
Like, a cylinder?

Do you get bigger by absorbing air (thereby increasing your buoyancy) or by absorbing water (with the opposite effect)?
By absorbing water
Do I feel bloated when I take on all this water weight?

Why can I not come to a conclusion on this decision...
Glow in the dark for sure.
Glow in the dark, since i do lap swimming for exercise and the other option would rule that out.
Inuk chuk!
I’m in Virginia. I’ll go for the water one. Get all that Atlantic up in me. Between the microplastics and bioluminescent life- I think that’s the right choice for me.
Grew up in Hampton Roads (Portsmouth, Newport News, VAB mainly, but lived all over). It'd be so cool to just walk down to the strip, step into the ocean, and slowly grow to the size that I could walk to Europe like I was walking across a small, shallow pond, then shrink back down to size, get my passport stamped, and have some German beer and sausages before coming home.
