I Think "no Child Labor Laws For The Chosen One"/"forced To Grow Up Too Fast" Readings Of Captain Marvel/Shazam

I think "no child labor laws for the chosen one"/"forced to grow up too fast" readings of Captain Marvel/Shazam come from retconning Captain Marvel to be 100% Billy. Older readings have him as a separate but overlapping consciousness, almost like an imaginary friend.

OG Billy Batson, street kid, was for kids growing up through the Great Depression and WWII. At that point you've already grown up too fast. The power fantasy feels more about having an adult who could never leave you, never hurt you, never restrict your freedom or tell you what to do, but would always come when you called to protect you. Maybe I'm rambling but I feel like it's not really "what if a kid had to fix the world's problems" it's more "what if a kid had access to a Magic Word that meant adults and Gods HAD to help them fix the world when they asked. and also the kid got to go to space and meet aliens and wizards and cool things like that"

LAUNCHPAD MCQUACK MAY ACTUALLY BE IMMORTAL!!!

So here is another Ducktales fan fiction for thought. I love Ducktales both the old and new. Plus, I love playing Dungeons and Dragons. This theory is how Launchpad survives every crash without injury. If you dont play D&D, here is what you need to know, the game has its own lore, gods/goddesses both good and evil. If you watch the show, Launchpad has romantic interests all over the world. Both normal and mystical. He is kind of a lovable goofball player. In “The House of the Lucky Gander” (season one) to save a family member. You see him call out to one of his former loves and the episode ends with him in samurai armor looking he just came out of battle. UNHARMED! Then in the episode in season two where Duey and Huey trick him into stealing a sub you hear a mermaid calling out to him and he replies, “Ocianica? My love?” I believe that Launchpad once dated a “luck goddess” it was a good relationship and ended on good terms and so she blessed him with luck. Then, afterward, he dated a “chaos goddess” kinda like Eris. This was fun for a time but Launchpad couldn’t take all the chaos and so he ended it. this made her angry and so she cursed him with bad luck. This is why he ALWAYS crashes the plain but lives and can walk away from it.

Hamilton (with Fenton’s face): Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?

Gyro: .....

Time Traveler Gyro Au

Ammmm. I think I have to explain this. Is an Au I’m working on lately.

Ok, this Au is based on the “Timephoon!” Episode.

Gyro was stranded in the 1800s, looking to go back to his time trying to build the Time Tub again, but to be able to fulfill his goals he will undoubtedly need the help of a young inventor. His attitude with Fenton has become strange since he returned and it is the chestnut's duty to discover what happened since that day.

I don’t want to spoil so many things so, sorry if I am being vague on the description but I really want to do this and that you have intrigue on this one. Xd
