Idea!

Headcanon that Billy doesn’t say “I swear to god” or any variation of that cause if he says that and then breaks the promise, the gods in his head won’t stop nagging him about it until he fixes it

something about never being able to wash the blood off your hand

Hey you all know about that fungus that possesses ants to make them climb on the tip of grass blades in hopes of getting eaten by a cow, so that the fungus can continue its life cycle in the cow's guts? Because I think that's the kind of thing that's wrong with cave divers.

We don't know what's down there. We don't know what's gotten into their heads that makes them so determined to physically, personally go down there to find out. But I wouldn't entirely dismiss the possibility that whatever has gotten into them is very invested in getting eaten by whatever is down there.

One day a man goes missing in Gotham. Nobody special, just another unlucky lowlife schmuck who owed money to the wrong people. The kind of guy with nobody in the world to miss him. Bruce and Babs are sharing notes when Cassandra wanders in. When she notices a picture of the guy's face her eyes harden in a way they're very unused to and she insists they put her on the case. She very pointedly asks for his name before pulling down her mask and leaping out the window.

They don't see her again for the next several days. She tears through the city's criminal underbelly with an unmatched ferocity. She's always driven but this concerns even Bruce. If experience has taught them anything though, it's that there's no talking to her when she's like this so they can do nothing but wait and hope.

Eventually she puts enough pressure on that somebody gives her a location. Not an hour later she's untying the man from a chair in a dank cellar in a dive bar on the outskirts of the city. He's not exactly on the right side of law so when he pulls the blindfold from over his eyes and sees a Bat standing right in front of him, especially this bat, he yelps and recoils in fear. Then she hugs him. She hugs him tight and holds on long enough that he forgets his fear and instead starts to feel distinctly awkward. Then just as quickly she vanishes, leaving him alone and too stunned for words.

He doesn't remember, but then, she never expected him to. It was years ago after all. A cold night, even for winter in Gotham when a petty crook decided the girl huddled on a street corner with no home to go back to looked like she needed that hot cup of cocoa more than he did. She remembered though.

I just learned about this booping thing and I’m having THE TIME OF MY FUCKING LIFE!!!!!!!

IM BOOPING ALL OF YOU!

YOU CAN RUN AND HIDE BUT NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THESE PAWS!!!!

i think cass is always quietly trying to encourage her family to protect their necks, whether training in instincts during spars or by vetoing costume designs without throat protection. she knows it's not anymore vulnerable than your soft tummy and achilles tendons, but the illogical part of her will never forget her hand slick in blood watching a body do something she's never seen before and wondering why is it doing that? what did i steal from him when i grabbed? what was so important that i tore away?

Perhaps I found the girlfriend I’ve been looking for all along

you're not ascending to godhood you're just dehydrated

I love body horror Captain Marvel cause yeah, if he’s been dismembered why wouldn’t he just have his limbs move on their own like a cartoon while his fellow heroes watch on in horror
