I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.
My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813
*electric guitar riff*
And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like
TV Tropes is a website where users can add and edit entries on the various plot devices and archetypes for various fictional works. Just go to the DP page, and go to the Fanworks tab, should find it easily.
Thank you!
Writers too. There I am, on AO3, saying that I made this for myself and my own enjoyment, and if people don't like it then they shouldn't read it. And then kudos? Comments?? Time for teeth. Fanart???? Crying, screaming, baying at the moon.

"YOU WHAT-"
that ‘pakige?’ post but me, a couple hours after posting a fic, like ‘comints?’
Danny: I'm not dealing with another crazy, evil rich person!
Damian: Evil?
Dick: Another?
Bruce, concerned: I promise I'm not evil.
Danny: That's exactly what an evil rich person would say.
He's seen it in action. It's...decent. It has weapons and stuff, sure. However; it could be so much better than it is, it just needs some tweaking.
So he pulls out some tools from his backpack and bypasses the security system, getting to work. Dick, covering for Bruce and being Batman for the night, returns from his solo patrol to the Batmobile-only to see a scrawny runaway kid elbow deep in the engine.
In his ear, he can hear Jason laughing at him.

Honestly, I am both. And on writing too. One moment I'm commenting on the flow and thought provoking interactions with characters, the next I am viscerally screaming and pointing at foreshadowing like it's the zombie apocalypse on the horizon.
An observation
What a year this week has been.
Oh, oh, what it another reason he doesn't express anger as the Captain is because he knows what it's like to be afraid of an adult. He's been the victim of angry adults more than once. And he NEVER wants to be that person.
He never wants anyone to be afraid of him like he was afraid of his uncle/foster parents/police/people who've had to much to drink/etcetera.
He volunteers as Captain Marvel, and one of those places is a soup kitchen. Everytime he hands someone afraid some food with a smile, and gets them to smile back, he's on top of the world. That's what being a hero is to him.
He refuses to ruin that with an ill-timed scowl.
Billy doesn't express any form of anger in the Captain form. He's scared to. He's scared that he could hurt someone, kill someone, if he isn't careful.
The Justice League see him as a Superman type– Always happy with never ending optimism. Billy is optimistic, yes, but not in the way that he presents to the Justice League. The Captain is 'everything is okay, and everything will keep being okay', whereas Billy is 'everything is f^cked, but we can fix it if we try'.
The Justice League only see flashes of it. A glare when Batman announces spending thousands, if not millions, on improvements for the Watchtower, looks of envy when everyone talks about food and clothes. They think it's because he lives in the Rock of Eternity, and can't have these things.
They don't realise the reason until they finally meet Billy, and realise that he's a literal homeless child.
u ever have on mutuals whos so deep in another fandom that u know absolutely zero about and they make posts that look like they speaking another language or some shit
