Ok consider:

A new hero emerges and the Justice League watches him for a while who make sure he’s not a threat. They see this giant clumsy man who moves like he’s not used to his body, smiles goofily every time he saves someone, and is clearly inexperienced with his powers and they’re all just like. Ah. This is a child.

Except they don’t think he’s a ten year old or however old Billy is at the time, no no. Clearly this hero came into existence shortly before his first appearance, just a few months ago. They don’t know how or why but It’s not the weirdest thing they’ve seen so it’s pretty easy to believe.

But they can’t just leave this toddler with the powers of a god to stumble around and potentially hurt someone by accident, nor go down the wrong path and become a villain. So of course they decide to ‘subtly’ guide him without alerting him to the fact they’re onto him.

They introduce themselves but instead of inviting him to the league they pop by every once in a while to ‘subtly’ teach him about responsibility and power, but also about love and humanity. They try to teach him to enjoy life and that he doesn’t have to act like an adult around them, instead encouraging him to enjoy his childhood even if it’s not an ordinary one.

(Too bad the Justice League suck at subtlety.)

Billy is certain they somehow found out he’s a kid before they even met him, probably because of Batman’s freaky know-it-all powers, but he isn’t very worried as they seem nice and don’t treat him like he’s dumb or fragile. They respect him as a hero despite his age so he lets himself act like a kid around them after a while.

When he gets comfortable enough to detransform Billy thinks that’s his identity reveal. The league thinks that he magicked himself a body that’s more of a representation of his true self and fits his developmental age better, possibly as a way to blend in with humans and experience what it’s like to be a normal child. Good for him!

Basically Billy gets a bunch of super powered parents and the Justice League get a newborn man that they think they’re raising from scratch lol

#billy batson #shazam #dc #dc captain marvel #justice league #fanfiction #fanfic #dcu #Diana’s idea of subtly teaching responsibility is to attack him before ever introducing herself #Billy’s happily helping a cat out of a tree then sees a sword rapidly approaching his face held by a terrifying woman #it ends with them both getting ice cream and discussing his tactics #Clark was one of the very few reasonable ones and just gave advice #hes not very subtle though #I mean have you seen him? he’s the most recognizable figure on earth #he’s often spotted on rooftops sharing homemade sandwhiches with Marvel as a way to encourage him to take breaks and be social #Surprisingly the most famous group of people in America who do flips in colourful spandex all day aren’t exactly masters of subtlety #Bruce tried to do an irl trolley problem to see how he would handle it #it was rigged so no one would get hurt and all the victims were well paid actors of course #but Billy didn’t know that #he stopped the trolley with his bare hands #he didn’t even consider any other option #he did not go to school so he's never heard of the problem and didn't even realize there WAS another option #Bruce nodded approvingly but was honsetly kind of disappointed #he wanted to know how a toddler with above average morals would solve it the intended way #maybe he’ll try it on Jon next

Thinking back on it, Danny probably should have been more wary of being given the title ‘Ender Of Timelines’.

(this ask is about earth au🌎)

why the age difference between the alpha kids and the beta kids? shouldn't it be the other way around

the alpha kids and beta kids are canonically the same age. i made them different ages because i wanted there to be some older/younger sibling dynamics, and i chose to make the alpha kids the younger ones because i see them as older siblings a lot and wanted to try something different ^^

#archlinux-official #ask #obviously not saying it's wrong to make the alpha kids older i just wanted to take this approach #earth au 🌎

*vomits this* i hate them so much

Nakey version and Lore below the cut in case people dont like alien boobs

"Humans* were a bipedal species that rose from the depths of the glacial caverns to colonise the surface of their frozen world. Their ancestors had splayed feet for the snow and horizontal pupils for scanning the ice sheets, lined by dark markings to protect their eyes from the glare of the light scattered everywhere. Like most ancient fauna, they were typically dark in color to shield against the ultraviolet rays of their unstable sun.

Human hair evolved from sensory tentacles that helped navigate the underground, covered in bioluminescent photophores to signal to companions. It's not uncommon to still have feeling tentacles above the eyebrow and around the mouth.

Like most fauna, humans were simultaneous hermaphrodites. They possessed four mammary glands—believed to have eventually influenced the association of the number Four with abundance and later gluttony.

Most human societies frequently modified their bodies, decorating themselves in body paint, with any "impurities" often cast out and replaced with cybernetics. Sometimes, appendages were deliberately removed and replaced in the belief that an artificial body inspired less attachment. Children had their ears cropped in anticipation for frequent mask usage: a necessity in the iterator cities, where higher elevation means thinner air. Surface dwellers were able to get by without masks for a while until the air below became suffocating with the increasing humidity, not to mention a breeding ground for air and waterborne disease.

Most masks double function as headphones and AR interfaces. The modern human would have experienced the world in a way only accessible by their mask; an AR internet that disappeared along with the rest of them."

*I call them humans because there arent any real names for them. The basic etymology for 'human' is 'of the earth,' and it could be assumed that they had their equivalent. But im not gonna conlang for rain world nuh uh so yall get the translation instead

So apparently the only way to have some nice moments between Solar and Lunar is to take Earth out of the picture

I like the character, but I also understand that when she's around, the audience's favorite interactions just can't seem to happen

I- I kinda disagree??? I just think they wanna keep Earth in the picture more. And frankly depending how her return goes... could spell some trouble in her future as a character or not. Lunar had NO prior history with Earth, a fresh slate of a sibling tbh that isn't fully tied to like His Everything. Where as Solar is tied (quite terribly) to his past. Before Lunar was just getting over his trauma in a sense. And Lunar's actually doing better. He's letting solar help him more. Albiet maybe with Earth around. But again like it makes sense since A) Earth finds Solar reliable AND knows he cares for Lunar B) She's aware Lunar is handling things, remember he's in her care due to Sun and Moon not knowing how to help. (A change in environment and people helps). C)Solar's own shenanigans where he WANTS to bond with Lunar, but like everything else is wild. I'm sure they'll give us Solar and Lunar bonding times later one on one. (Heck if they REALLY wanna push it, they could have that Earth being there actually not helping but like... yknow)

#alas i think theyre trying to do an... maybe realistic approach to this but theyre... picking and choosing for sure #plus UH... SOLAR COMFORTING LUNAR WAS SWEET BUT ALSO. lunar was very stressed still. #plus i personally like solar and earth interacting theyre so silly #sun and moon show #if anything i think theyre squandering her character a bit BUT ALSO this is beginning of the channel still #shes got her own stuff and depending on the direction they take her return here #i would say this may spell some interesting things for her

Saw this post and got inspired. These two dorks are on their way to decorate their tree but as if they could do that in any other way than this. Lovia makes for one yassified tree.

Thinking about a society with mixed sizes most likely also means a fair amount of trees with mixed decorations, little trinkets of all kinds of sizes, a lovely display of embraced differences.

Anyway, Hyvää Joulua! Have a good Yule <3

Anyway on the subject of the Ainur being Higher Forms Of Life, things I think would be hilarious: Morgoth/Sauron lowkey finding it difficult to tell the elves of the First Age apart.

Like. Human beings can tell lesser primates apart very easily...by species. Gorillas are massive. Orangutans are orange. Mandrills are brightly coloured, and tamarins are tiny and cute. But if you ask a human to tell apart the different individuals of a gorilla troupe - unless that human has spent a lot of time observing/interacting with/studying the gorillas - they're gonna struggle. Because to the average human, gorillas all look the same.

Perhaps that is also true of the Valar and the Maiar. Little babby Mairon knows the races of Arda as well as any of his kind: elves are tall and fair, dwarves are short and hairy, men are a scruffy bunch who multiply faster than rabbits, and ents are trees who talk. Easy-peasy.

But like. While the Ainur who live in Valinor shelter and protect - and therefore, spend a lot of time with - the first elves, and come to know how to tell them apart as their own kind do, Mairon spends that period of his life metaphorically sneaking off to smoke and set fire to things with Melkor, so he doesn't get that extended contact. Most of his interactions with the early elves take place either from a distance - as in, he's directing Morgoth's troops and keeping track of intelligence on the opposing army - or on the battlefield, where a) he's wearing a helmet and b) so, if they have any sense, is his enemy.

So like. He still thinks they all look alike. One tall, blond, fine-featured elf is much the same as another, honestly, and their fëar don't look that different to him either.

(If Galadriel were to show "Halbrand" a memory of her childhood, of herself with her three golden brothers, Sauron would not be able to immediately pick out which was Finrod, despite having come face to face with Finrod before. Nor, most likely, would he be able to tell Aegnor and Aegrond apart.

Galadriel herself, on the other hand, he'd be able to pick out instantly, even though elflings all look the same to him. Because he's spent long enough with her that he knows her mannerisms, obviously. It's got nothing to do with being able to identify her fëa among a crowd of other fëar. Sentimental? He's not being sentimental. You're sentimental. Shut up.)

Bonus thought: When it comes to men, though, the board probably flips. Men are not taken to Valinor when they awaken, they are not sheltered by the Valar, they do not go there after death. Sauron has had more close contact with men than any other Ainu save the Istari - he rules them, treats with them, leads them in battle, learns to whisper in the ears of their kings and play them like music. His human disguise is virtually faultless; he can feign humanity so convincingly that he doesn't trigger the uncanny valley effect at all until he knows he's been caught out, and we see him drop the act.

But most of his fellow Ainur have rarely (if ever) directly interacted with the race of men. So I think it would be deeply funny if, when Elrond and Galadriel show up to Valinor with two hobbits in tow, the Ainur react like...well, like that one tumblr post of well-meaning angels unintentionally getting Real Fucking Weird about trying to set the humans they appear to at ease. Or their idea of mannish customs has been influenced by the stories told by dead or returned elves who met a weird man once, and so they're expecting and trying to accommodate some really odd behaviour that has the Hobbits like, what? No? Why would we do that?

#tolkien #tolkien headcanons #my approach to middle earth is basically taking saubrand/saurondriel away from amazon and shoving them into the movieverse #so there is no way this is like. not riddled with lore errors but w/e #I Do What I Want #sauron #saurondriel #like the valar are probably acceptably human-savvy but some of the lesser maiar? weird as hell #haladriel #halbrand #lotr trop

Princess tutu speaks to me on a personal level because I’m like yea that’s exactly what would happen if you gave 16 year olds swords and magic powers.

The flip flopping between “ahahahaha im evil now >:D” and pathetically laying on the floor for hours was IMMACULATE and captured the experience of being a teenager better than any old high school drama ever will

#princess tutu #like if I could’ve been an evil magical girl in high school the world would’ve been so fucked #‘fakir is a horrible person’ well. i mean kinda but have you considered he’s 16 AND gay AND in highschool #hell on earth #the only reason duck is so well adjusted is because she’s slightly younger #but she is approaching her event horizon #rue doing her evil blood rituals while crying KIN

i truly believe that neither half of angelbutter is the "afraid of bugs" one; angel is a seasoned cop and definitely doesn't mind if there's one crawling about, but danny has elected himself nicholas's defender anyways. everytime he sees one of the wee buggers, he gets all like "NICHOLAS, WATCH OUT! DON'T WORRY I'LL GET RID OF IT!" even though he's probably more scared of them than nicholas ever has been.

you may be wondering why nicholas is down a shoe. well, the honest truth is that i was simply unable to draw the shoe right at that angle today,,, it just wasn't coming naturally enough, so i decided "fuck it, it's sock time." you get to come up with your own story as to why he's not got it on.

i did a good chunk of this while rewatching Star Trek (2009) for probably the billionth time now. it'd been a while since i saw Scotty Simon Pegg; was wondering what he was up to :)

also watched the first mission impossible movie with my roommate! i've never seen any of them, though learning that simon pegg is in all of them past III has inspired me to change that. my roommate's just watching with me bc he enjoys them as movies. he's well aware why i'm seeing them, don't worry. slowly inching my way towards becoming a true simon pegg girlie 🫡💪💪💪

#if you're wondering how on earth angel has a pint while danny doesn't #it's bc danny dropped his as soon as he saw the insect approaching his mate #they're at The Crown in this drawing meaning they've caused a scene (not an uncommon occurence) #running my mouth #made this with my hands #my artwork #angelbutter #hot fuzz #the cornetto trilogy #cornetto trilogy #nicholas angel in pink my beloved 💕
