Something about the wizard dying right after giving Billy the title Champion of Magic hurts me.
Billy isn’t told what he’s supposed to do, he wants to help people with his new power and status, but no one’s telling him how because the only one who could died in front of him.
Now he’s stumbling blindly through life trying to get it right while everyone judges him because “clearly the old wizard Shazam picked another dud, this person isn’t doing anything he’s supposed to!”
Stephanie: You know what? When you think about it…. Tim just dipping and randomly popping up with another blonde was fucked up. I deserve better than that shit man.
Cassandra: Yeah, me personally, I could never do that to someone I love… you deserve someone that would never do that to you
Cassandra internally: please take the hint please take the hint please take the fucking hint
you know what really gets my goat?
Headcanon that Mary walks quietly. Like, she regularly scares the shit out of people and Freddy’s like “we gotta put a bell on her, goddamn”
Not quite Batman level of stealthy, but up there
Rules: You will be given a word. Share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that start with each letter of that word.
Saw @wolfsbanesparks’s post about this and decided I may as well put all my google docs full of unfinished fics to use!
Word: HEART
H: Hal raised his hand and let his ring scan the image for a moment, but the ring couldn’t translate it. “Well, whatever language it is, it’s either a dead one or one that is isolated enough that the Green Lantern Corps doesn’t have any data on it.” He stated with a shrug. (From unnamed Billy Batson-centric fic)
E: Everything faded into the distance as her mind went blank. She could barely feel the rain that usually calmed her, that was supposed to calm her.
Her father was in Gotham.
Her father was in Gotham.
Her father. (From ‘A Childhood Defined By Violence’)
A: And when she wrapped herself in that blanket, it felt like it could shield her from the oppressive fluorescent lights that were nowhere near Duke’s warm glow, the looks people gave her that projected worry-annoyance-disgust-worry-worry that greatly contrasted the love-enjoyment-happy-curious-happy look in Damian whenever he was around animals. (From ‘A Childhood Defined By Violence’)
R: Relief flooded through Billy’s body. The fact that they thought he was just turned into a kid meant Billy could just go along with it and not technically lie. Though the relief faded away as he quickly remembered he couldn’t transform back. (From the unnamed Billy Batson-centric fic)
T: The urge to break-destroy-hurt-break-sob-break-break washing over her body as pure panic started to force her mindset into what she was raised to do.
To be violent. (From unnamed whumptober fic)
I haven’t actually got any released fics yet, so don’t expect any of these to come out for a long time (except the whumptover ones, but I dunno if I’ll have those done in time anyway.)
I don’t really know anyone who hasn’t already done this game, but if you haven’t done this yet and want to try or maybe you want to do it again;
Your word is: HANDY
Wonder Woman Vol 1 #600
Friendly reminder Cass is more familiar with pop culture than Diana. Unfortunately.
Ive seen this be done a few times, but I want more of it so I’m spreading the word.
Petition to introduce the trope of cuddle pollen. Like sex pollen but way more wholesome. Imagine your touch starved fave getting all the cuddles.
Billy, talking to a war criminal like Mr Mind: “Hey! Can you please stop that?”
Billy, talking to his siblings after they mildly annoyed him: “do that again and I’ll fucking end you and your bloodline”
Let him have that Cain instinct
Shoutout to Cassandra Cain for having two sets of parents and getting differing forms of issues from every last one.
David Cain is… David. Worst guy ever. He loved Cass, but in the worst toxic girldad way known to man.
Shiva was absent for most of Cassandra’s life and views her more as a person of interest who shares her blood than her daughter.
Batman at first projected onto her as someone who was as dedicated as him to The Mission without considering her feelings. He gets better, but, man…
Barbara was by far the best parental figure, but she wasn’t perfect, unable to completely understand or connect with Cass.
We love complicated parental dynamics and Cass is out here playing gotta catch them all.
She/HerAutistic, queer, and (according to all the unfinished fics in my docs) an aspiring fanfic author!
