Don’t get me wrong, I love content where the Justice League don’t know Billy’s identity and all the shenanigans that come with that!
But something about the JL just causally knowing they have a 14 year old on their team fighting universal threats and being okay with that is so funny to me
I see a lot of fandom media of Super boy(konner) being “adopted” by Captain Marvel/Shazam (Billy Batson) or just them being friends
but I can’t seem to find any canon interactions between them so I’m wondering where fandom have gotten this relationship from?
I’m cursed with this thing where I can’t get into a media without knowing the ins and outs of it >:(
Thinking of if Captain Marvel (Shazam) turned (sorta) evil and how that would happen.
I can’t actually see him going full evil cause Billy to me is a little ball of sunshine. But in the end he is a child therefore is more vulnerable than any of the adults.
So I can see revenge driving him to kill a villain, not inherently turning him evil, but definitely against his morals.
What if somebody kills someone close to him? What if he is forced to finally see the evil side of the world that even the adults can’t always handle? If he were to have a villain arc it wouldn’t be black and white. He’d be driven to do things by corruption and the idea that he was protecting someone else.
Billy is good, but in the end he is also a vulnerable child who has been given a great power that shows him the hidden evils of a world that has already done him so wrong. He doesn’t have the judgement of an adult as Billy, maybe he might as Captain Marvel with the wisdom of Solomon, but he’s also Billy half of the time.
Idk my brain is just making me sad thinking of a world where Billy was given to much power for his mental health to handle and then someone close to him was killed, nudging him off the edge into a pit of grief and revenge.
Love batgirl 2000 cause sometimes its just Cassandra bests another foe with minimal effort but can she best the perils of dyslexia? find out next time!
Arcane is a story about the horrors of war
How no one is safe, no one is free from it, even after it ends
How war can destroy everything if it’s not quelled
There were so many names in that bowl
Arcane is a story of caution
It’s also a story of devotion
Singed is so devoted to his daughter he destroys countless families and nearly brings his people to ruin
His devotion is rewarded
Ekko is so devoted to his people and his land that he takes on more and more and more until he breaks down
Ekko is so devoted to Powder and to Jinx that he leaves a perfect life to save her
That he tortures himself, watching her die over and over until he can find the right words to save her from herself
He is punished for his devotion
Caitlyn is so devoted to the memory of her mother that she is willing to tarnish it to try to prove her love for someone no longer there to receive it
She is so devoted to the past that she is willing to let go of her future with Vi for it
She is both rewarded and punished for it in the end
Violet’s devotion to her family, bled into her devotion to Powder - Powder’s devotion to Violet bled into Jinx’s devotion to Vi
Vi’s devotion to Jinx is found in Jinx’s devotion to Isha and is reciprocated in kind
Vi’s generational devotion can’t save them but it does save her
She would trade places with Jinx in a heartbeat, just as Jinx would have for Isha
Vander is so devoted he places his family above his principles- working with those who oppress his people to keep his family safe
It’s not enough
Silco is devoted to his cause to the point that he is willing to go to the same depths as his adversaries
He’s even willing to kill his own people in the name of saving them
Sevika is also devoted to the same cause, enough so that she was willing to go on the frontlines, willing to throw the first punch against a much larger opponent
In the end her devotion leads her to working with the same people she’d once planned on attacking, for the benefit of her people, in honor of those she lost
Ambessa has a twisted understanding of devotion, so devoted to her daughter’s legacy that she kills in Mel’s name, a child just like her, breaking their connection in that very moment in the name of devotion that she was afraid of
Mel is devoted to her own principles, come by naturally and inherited from her brother, even after she is punished, banished for it, she remains ever devoted - not even Kino’s death or Ambessa’s makes her falter in her conviction- but it does change her
Viktor is so devoted to being good, over being great, over being remembered, he is so devoted to being good that he tells Jayce to destroy the one thing that can save him no matter he fears the ticking clock and Jayce, so devoted to Viktor, can’t
And when Viktor’s devotion is corrupted, Jayce takes it on
In their final moments Viktor, the truest version of him, tries to push through his fears and do one final act of good - save Jayce, he’s on the brink of death and he tells the most important person in his life to leave him
Jayce who had so much to live for, who could have done so much good still, so devoted to Viktor refused to leave him, no matter the consequences
Ximena is so devoted to her son she will do anything to save him, even stand up to the most powerful people in her city for him
It gives him time
It does not save him
She is still left alone in the end
Several background characters weave in and out of the main character’s stories, and time and time again we see them do everything for the people they love
Some are rewarded
Most are not
Arcane is a story of how war shows us the depths of our devotion, the lengths we are willing to go for it
Arcane is a story of caution
I’D lose my shit is Alfred shaved his moustache
imagine the bats genuinely losing their shit after alfred shaves his mustache
Idk where this thought came from butttt….
Batman entering Fawcett only to see Captain Marvel Jr and Mary Marvel screaming the lyrics of the Duck Song into the ears of a somehow asleep Captain Marvel on the floor.
Batman turns around and leaves after seeing that
I’d read that
so i was thinking about how bruce and ollie have the reputations of being the most dad-guys of the jla (although technically clark might have more than ollie depending on how you cut it) and i was thinking about doing of fic of them arguing over who should get custody of billy before roy decides fuck this and sweeps him up while they're distracted
I want more of Cassandra Cain trying and failing to use slang like an out of touch middle aged man
Like, let her be a girlfailure (affectionate) once in a while
Yes, I have like 20 random posts in my drafts that I regularly read for no reason.
And no, I will not be posting them anytime soon unless Jesus himself rises from the ground and beats me up until I overcome my very little confidence.
Yes, this is from my drafts.
