theres so much potential for this; i could imagine these scenarios happening when billy’s /w the older league members (it’s all vine refs tho)
~
billy: *playing with a toy in the watchtower caf*
green arrow: *accidentally knocks the toy off from billy’s hands*
billy:
billy, looking at GA dead in the eye: ADAM
GA: *confusion*
~
*at a JL meeting*
superman: captain marvel, did you even pay attention?
billy, on auto-pilot: what up, im Jared, i’m 19, and i never fuckin’ learnt how to read
everyone: 👁👄👁
billy: wAIT NO-
~
billy to batman and superman: 2 bros, sitting in a hot tub, 5 feet apart cause they’re not gay
~
billy, sparring with wonder woman: i’m a bad bitch, you can’t kill me!
wonder woman: *confusion*
~
nobody:
billy, in a high-pitched voice: wHeN WiLl YoU LeARn?! WhEn WilL yOu LeArN THat YoUr AcTiOns HaVe COnSeQuEnCeS?!
i love the idea of all the younger heroes making vine, tiktok, and tumblr meme references and all of the older league members being confused af whereas Billy just be dropping refs right in to everyday conversation like it's nothing making the young heroes lose their minds cuz his comedic timing is impeccable
here are a few things that could help if you’re looking to get into comics because it’s very confusing at first (and every moment after)
the dcu guide lists characters’ appearances in chronological order
comicvine lists every appearance of a character
comicstorian is a youtube channel that summarizes comic arcs/character origins in short, easy to understand videos
lornahs has a lot of good character reading lists, dc & marvel
comic book reading orders has reading orders for almost all events & characters, dc & marvel
r/DCcomics’ wiki has a large recommended reading page & a newbies section for people looking to start reading for the first time
comic book herald has a list of reading guides as well as a where to start with current dc & a beginner’s guide to comics
the dc database has a recommended reading section
comics back issues has a list of reading orders as well as their guide to comics for new readers
and if you’re looking to get into lanterns, be sure to give my own, comparatively puny rec page a look!
good luck!
another crack(ish) prompt but do you think that billy would solve things peacefully/casually??? ppl expect him to be flashy or punch a lot because of his personality, powers or something but NOPE
like think about it
-he’s having a fight with a villain and he just wants to talk instead of fight
-a god/dess shows up, wanting to destroy something/the world and billy’s like: “sup, want some burgers?”
-“what are burgers?” (cue the JL, billy and the deity eating burgers in mcdonalds)
-another take on the burgers one: “do you want burgers?” “champion of magic, what the fuck”
-*villian goes on a rant about how their life sucked*
billy: do you need a hug,,, wanna get a milkshake,,,,
esoteric friendships that i’m certain exist in mtmte but we just don’t see them:
rodimus and tailgate have a big brother/little brother style relationship. like in the “rodimus is a rowdy jackass” way but also he allows himself to express like 0.004% more genuine affection towards tg than other people because i mean cmon look at the little guy. the symbiotic return that tailgate receives in this relationship is being carried places like a purse dogy
swerve and cyclonus rewatching 80s slasher films “why does tailgate call you babygirl” “how about we stop talking for a little while”
cyclonus and ratchet’s mean old crotchety bastard solidarity. in the back of the club arms folded cuz i don’t agree with the music selection
tailgate and first aid will occasionally meet up just to sort of go “ohhhh my gooooddddd oh my fucking GOOOODDDDDD OHHH my GODDDDDD FUUUUUCKKK oh my gooodddddddddd” at each other. they both know exactly what they mean but it’s impenetrable to anyone else
drift is operating under the delusion that he can fix whirl (platonic). whirl is having a GREAT time fucking with his head by pretending to have spectralist visions that entail him getting free drinks
skids is surprisingly very open to being climbed on physically. another free ride for tailgate
chromedome and ratchet’s “oh my god my husband is so fucking exhausting oh my god” solidarity
speaking of which, rewind and tailgate bond over their mutual struggle to unravel their husband’s 27 million emotional firewalls and also watch early 90′s anime reruns
swerve and whirl argue with each other like letterboxd users on twitter. there’s a lot of screaming but trust them it’s a bonding exercise
chromedome and skids have occasional “i have done unspeakable things. we are not going to acknowledge this and instead i will watch you play fallout 4 in total silence” meetings. they both benefit from this experience somehow
magnus and ratchet’s mean old crotchety bastard “oh my god all of you people are fucking insane oh my god” solidarity
putting rodimus and swerve in the same room is an occupational hazard (positive connotation). they are known to escalate games as minor as uno into ship-spanning wagers, usually involving other people’s stuff. rodimus once punched a hole through a wall over wii sports
fortmax and the minibots are bestieeeesssss :3 (they help him forget about The Everything and he lets them be like 50 feet tall)
once drift and cyclonus get over the whole “sorry i played bad cop with you in a misguided attempt to impress the guy crushing on me” thing they like to practice swords with each other. drift always offers to get him a drink afterwards and cyclonus is always like “no” and then shows up an hour later and doesn’t talk to anyone but he’s still there so that counts
tailgate and drift rewatching jidaigeki movies “why does ratchet call you babygirl” “how about we stop talking for a little while”
tailgate and nautica, in a moment of drunken unfiltered weakness, discover that they both have the same sort of “i feel like no one takes me seriously and my emotional openness is offputting to people when all i want is to make genuine emotional connections with others and also when left alone i have a tendency to spiral from feeling useless and like people are only tolerating my presence and don’t actually care about me as a person and my self doubt is tearing me apart internally” thing going on
she also likes carrying him around
everyone likes carrying tailgate around
probably should have saved a handful of these for december but i’m not about to wait that long
Dc: Fans made wayne family adventure comics surpass regular dc comics
It’s inconceivable how many instances there are of Captain Marvel’s kiddish tendencies being used in conjunction with blind obedience towards authority or in making rash split-second decisions when in reality there should be way more moments of him being a rightfully stupid preteen. Billy should get to stop and play with a dog while a villain recites a melodramatic speech in the background and he needs to laugh so hard that he cries over fart jokes. Bringing balance to his mythos by making him fry open watermelons with his thunderbolts.
explaining white hair hc sappy as fuck slowburn love story between bruce and hal where hal is the spectre but heal slowly/regain control while messing around with bruce something like that he’s ok at L3 but his hair are still white i like to think they’ll stay white and he gets offended 24/7 because everyone calls him an old man (and that random people helps him cross the road GJELGJZE)
Jason is really trying to distance himself as Bruce’s kid, when his name literally has ‘son’ in it.
Peak son behavior
