My Ideal Revival of the Disney Heroes Franchise
Tumblr media
What you’re looking at is the official logo for a now defunct franchise known as Disney Heroes.
Disney Heroes was basically meant to serve as the sister…..or more appropriately, the brother franchise of the Disney Princesses, with the focus being placed on the male heroes of the Disney pantheon.
Tumblr media
The franchise initially started back in 1999, but under the name of Disney Adventurers. Not only that, but the line-up was rather small, consisting of the titular protagonists of Hercules, Aladdin, Peter Pan, and their most recent film at the time, Tarzan.
The franchise mainly existed through toys, with some notable merchandising besides that here and there.
The franchise remained this way until about 2003, when it got a notable revamp.
The franchise would get its current name and it would expand the roster quite a bit. The new members included Merlin and Arthur from The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty, and Li Shang from Mulan.
I also think Simba from The Lion King was a part of the roster as well, I think I remember seeing him on a backpack done for the franchise.
But in 2005, the Disney Heroes franchise had a another revamp…this one notably different from the previous ones.
Although the franchise mainly existed through toys and play-sets that more or less stayed faithful to their respective films, these however…..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your eyes are not deceiving you….these were actual action figures created and designed by Disney for the Disney Heroes franchise…..and I couldn’t be anymore happier.
Hercules looks like an ancient Greek warrior with the golden armor, plus he’s carrying a big xiphos and a golden shield with the face of a lion.
Peter Pan is now sporting some tan gloves, boots, and ever a mask, carrying a bow and quiver of arrows alongside his trusty dagger.
And Captain Hook has a more swashbuckling look, and his rapier has been replaced with a big ass cutlass!
Prince Phillip and Maleficent were also apart of this line-up of action figures as well.
Phillip had a more knight-like appearance, even having a helmet with a golden falcon on top.
And Maleficent…well, she was in her dragon form.
Sadly, only five action figures were made in this style….
And it’s a shame, given that there were plans to revamp the franchise with a more action-oriented style.
These designs by Disney animator Ruben Procopio for planned future figures for the franchise really highlight this…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aladdin was gonna look like an Arabian Knight, complete with a dagger and a huge ass scimitar that would make Cloud Strife impressed.
Tarzan was gonna go for a Conan the Barbarian-esque look, complete with a headband, a vest, a tooth necklace, boots, and even a quiver filled with spears, knives, and arrows.
And as you could see, they were even gonna introduce The Beast from Beauty and the Beast as a new member of a roster, with the appearance of a warrior prince and a mace as his weapon.
Unfortunately, these figures never came to be....
Although Disney Heroes franchise was doing decently fine, it was nowhere near the level of success of the Disney Princesses.
As a result of that, Disney slowly but surely phased out the franchise over the next three years.
By 2008, the Disney Heroes franchise silently ended, only merchandising through coloring books and their only new addition since 2003 being....of all characters....Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
So yeah....that's pretty much the story of the Disney Heroes franchise.
It's honestly a shame because I could totally see this franchise being pretty successful today.
And given the rise of nostalgia and crossovers in media over the last decade, I could see this being an absolute goldmine for all parties involved.
And today, I'm gonna share on how I think a revival of the Disney Heroes franchise should play out.
.It would aim more towards a older audience, mostly teenagers, similar to the Disney Villains franchise. It wouldn't really focus all that much on toys like the Disney Princesses, though there would be some figurines here and there, instead focusing on media that's more accessible with a older crowd like novels, comic books, video games, and even animation.
.Unlike it's previous iteration, and to that extension the Disney Princesses, it would be more gender-neutral, featuring male and female representatives of most of the represented films as members of the roster.
.Also unlike the Princesses, this franchise has its own backstory. Various Disney villains have joined forces in other to further their respective goals. In retaliation, a group of various Disney heroes, led by Merlin, have united to fight against the villainous alliance and protect their respective realms. I know it's a pretty simple premise, but I think it's the perfect that way.
.The franchise will have a major focus on action and adventure....which for a franchise like this, should be expected.
.Many of the characters will be receiving redesigns in the veins of the ones done for the franchise back in 2005, which give off a fantasy warrior, almost Dungeons n' Dragons vibe. While these wouldn't be to the extent as say, Disney Mirrorverse, they would clearly by different from the characters' usual attire and makes them come off as more like warriors ready for adventure and battle.
.The series will essentially expand on the worlds of the films and bring in elements from their original source materials, official continuations like the TV shows, and even the cultures they represent.
Okay, now that we got the major elements out of the way, I'm gonna briefly share who would be apart of the roster for this new franchise, and list them in chronological order of movie release.
.Alice
.Peter Pan
.Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip
.Merlin and Arthur
.Mowgli
.Robin Hood
.Ariel and Eric
.Belle and Beast
.Aladdin and Jasmine
.Simba
.Pocahontas and John Smith
.Quasimodo
.Hercules and Megara
.Fa Mulan and Li Shang
.Tarzan and Jane Porter
.Milo Thatch and Kida Nedakh
.Jim Hawkins
.Tiana and Naveen
.Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert
.Merida
.Anna and Elsa
.Moana and Maui
Just imagine.....seeing this iconic heroes going on various adventures, from the hottest deserts to the deepest jungles. Fighting against mythical monsters, thieves, wild beasts, villainous knights, deadly invaders, mysterious spirits and swashbuckling pirates!
Anyway, that's all for now. I'm planning to go more in-depth on this idea, fleshing out the characters and their worlds.
If you have any ideas for this franchise, let me know.

Movie idea time. So it starts like a regular Disney movie where there is a teenager who lives with there family and doesn’t get along well with them and makes it seem like its all the teens fault for being moody and stuff. then on the teens birthday or something (cause its always the birthday) they make a wish that there family didn’t exist or something like that. It starts out rocky for the teen but the get better and they get a grip on everything. Then comes the part in all the other movies that the teen realizes they miss everyone and want it to go back instead the teen realizes how toxic her family was and when the “wish” or whatever reverse they go to college far away to be free and just start living their best life.

Some of my ideas for a Disney Magic Flute :
. It's gonna be like a bit of Wizard of Oz and Encanto in some ways
. So a young lad ( around 18 ) in mid 1940s Egypt, after WW2, is helping his family in Cairo to recover the traumas and stuff after WW2
. He eventually stumbles upon an Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic mirror presented to him by his grandfather, that was in the attic
. And he stumbles upon a wondrous and magical fantasy land that has influences from Olden Egypt ( like, from Ancient Egypt to 19th century Egypt )
. The music defo be using Mozart's Magic Flute score
. And then similarly with Mozart's original idea, the Sun Pharoah and the Night Queen are embroiled in a bitter custody battle that eventually led to war
. The Princess Pammenes is gifted with solar and lunarkinetic powers, and is a free spirited and charming woman who wants something more of the Royal life she grew up in ( and honestly wants to get away from her narc mom )
. And then turns out Papageno is smitten with Papagena for some time and while Papageno ( who is a magical jinn bird catcher in that idea ) helps Tamino for that quest to join in the Comradeship of Sun, Tamino also helps his jinn friend to win the heart of Papagena, who is a lady in waiting of Pammenes in that adaptation.
. And then at the end, Papageno and Papagena got married
. Oh and guess what?
. Tamino and Pammenes started dating AFTER the Night Queen is defeated
. And they have their first date exploring the streets of Cairo in the 40s at the end ( since Pamino also wants to explore Tamino's world too )
. It is implied that Tamino and Pamina plan to marry after Tamino finishes college in Cairo University
. But for now, Tamino and Pamina ( who was 17 then ) are a happily dating pair
It's a little bit like the Nutcracjer Prince and Clara's case in The Nutcracker in spades
Where Tamino and Pammenes eventually adopt their human personas in Cairo while still carrying out their Royal duties in the Pyramidus land
I know the libretto of the Magic Flute says it sets in ' Ancient/Olden Egypt '
But it didn't say WHEN in Olden Egypt
So I thought of setting Disney's Magic Flute in post WW2 40s Egypt out of sheer creativity
FYI Freemasonry originally came from Ancient Egypt
And it's still a practice in Egypt after the Pharonic Era of Egypt ended
So it must be so amazing for Disney's Taminos, who aspires to be a cultural curator one day, to embark on a land that has influences from Olden Egypt - from Pharonic Eras up till 19th century Egypt
Srsly Disney's Tamino x Pammenes be kinda like Aladdin x Jasmine, Glinda x Oscar ( Oz the Great and Powerful ) and also Marc x Layla in some ways
🤩🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺🥺

some musings on transmasc mulan:
i think the reason why Reflection & mulan as a trans man is impactful to me is the fact that mulan appears as a woman and has the social role of a woman. i love rep of transmascs who are fully transitioned/present masc or male! but ive thought a lot about the erasure & invisibility of transmascs throughout history. the bits of our history we do have tend to be people who had the ability to pass as men, but there were undoubtedly so many trans men&mascs who lived as women, who could not pass well enough to live full-time as a man, who were wives and mothers! and idk i find it really impactful to read Reflection as the pain of a trans man in the closet, or who doesn't even realize that being a man is a Thing they can Do. i love how it touches on the pain of failing to be a woman. i think part of it is how often people want to dissociate trans men from misogyny, or at least control how we are "supposed" to relate to it. again, the mainstream (queer) narrative around transmasc history (and present) is trans men who could/can pass as cis men, who live their lives fully stealth. but there are and always have been many transmascs who live as women, most or all of the time, and who have to struggle with the demands of misogyny to be good daughters/wives/mothers, and the knowledge that to be a trans man would make you such a disgrace and disappointment ("if i were truly to be myself, i would break my family's heart"). i think its important to give a voice to the trans men past and present who live as women and their gendered experiences! i desperately want to give a voice to every trans man throughout time who lived and died in a dress, who had children, who thought they were the only one or who didn't even understand what or why they were.
obviously mulan does crossdress and does pass as a cis man, but specifically "Reflection" to me means a lot because i love how it can be read to be an expression of closeted transmasculinity. with transmascs, the bits of history we do get are constantly scrutinized by everyone; there's an unspoken rule of "cis woman until proven otherwise, why do you want to erase women?" and again! thats just when it comes to "women who crossdress" situations! people are so stingy when it comes to who they will "allow" transmascs to claim, seeing a "feminine cis woman" expressing transmasculinity feels transgressive in a very good way to me. also, i think we need more recognition that there are a lot of feminine women who really wish they were men (because they are), and its important to represent that experience and make it clear that being feminine (while presenting as a woman, or in general) does not mean you can't be a man.

Disney Heroes Franchise Revival (Part 1)
Chances are most of you reading probably remember I post I made a couple of months titled "My Ideal Revival of the Disney Heroes Franchise".
In that post, I talked about the forgotten Disney franchise known as Disney Heroes and how I feel like a modern-day revival could work.
If you want to check it out, I already put a link to it above.
And for those are reading this for the first time, I suggest you check out my previous post first.
Anyway back on topic, I mentioned that was planning to go more in-depth on this franchise idea, but I procrastinated like Hell on that since I was doing other posts and being busy with college.
But now I'm ready to continue this idea of mine's that from what I've seen, you all really like.
This franchise idea is going to be multi-part, with the first few parts going over specific movies and how they would be represented in the franchise.
And so to start this off, I'll be discussing the four films that used were to kickstart the original franchise.
Hercules:
The two main representatives from this film would be Hercules himself and Megara.
As for their appearances, Herc would have his appearance from the later years of the original franchise, aka this.
Tumblr media
Meg would also be sporting a warrior look to her to fit the more action-focused tone of this franchise.
Her outfit would look a little something like this.....
Tumblr media
Personality-wise, they're the same as they were in the original film.
Hercules would still be the lovable, kind-hearted himbo of a hero, and Meg would still be sassy, witty and just all-around iconic.
As for what each of them are capable of.
Hercules still possesses his god-like physical strength and often fights with a special xiphos (that has a blade shaped like a lightning bolt) that can emit powerful electricity and an indestructible golden lion shield (both of which were forged by Hephaestus).
He's also decently skilled in physical combat, since he has both the skill and especially the strength to back him up.
Herc tends to use either a simple brawler style or Greco-Roman style wrestling.
Meg, as you would expect, is much more ready for combat than she ever was before.
She's now decently skilled in physical combat and predominantly fights with a dory (which is a type of spear used back during Ancient Greece).
But Meg's greatest strength lies within her mind.
She possesses some rather impressive tactical skills and is pretty crafty in battle.
Basically, Herc is the brawns while Meg is the brains.
Their part of the Disney Heroes franchise would focuses on them going on adventures all over Ancient Greece.
Their main adversary would be none other than Hades himself, still aided by Pain and Panic!
Essentially at some point, Hades eventually escaped from The River Styx and to say he was pissed would be an MASSIVE understatement.
Other adversaries of Herc and Meg would consist of various monsters of Greek mythology include centaurs, hydras, cyclopes, the Titans, the Minotaur, the Manticore, the Chimera, Medusa and the gorgons, harpies, Typhon, Echidna, Circe, griffins, Cerberus, sirens, the Laestrygonians, and giant beasts like the Nemean Lion and Erymanthian Boar.
As for their allies, Philoctetes and Pegasus would undoubtedly be the most prominent.
Others would include Zeus and the other Gods of Olympus, Agamemnon and the Spartan Army, Icarus, Achilles, Chiron, Odysseus and Tempest and the Amazons.
As for notable locales....
These would include cities/city-states like Thebes, Arcadia, Athens, Sparta, Crete, Troy and Delphi.
Mythical locations such as Mount Olympus, The Underworld, Atlantis, The Elysian Fields, Themiscyra, Laistrygon, Hyperborea, Tartarus, and The Garden of the Hesperides.
And there would be plenty of naturalistic settings such as forests, swamps, plains, mountains and seas.
Aladdin:
The two main representatives would be none other than Aladdin himself and Jasmine.
As for their appearances, Aladdin would have the same design he was suppose to have for the short-lived relaunch of the original franchise back in 2005.
Tumblr media
Jasmine would also be sporting an Arabian warrior look as well, which would look something like this.
Tumblr media
Personality-wise, they're pretty much the same as they were in the original films and tv series.
As for what each of them are capable of.
Aladdin still possesses is nearly unmatched cunning and wit, impressive speed and agility, and fights with a huge ass scimitar and a dagger.
Jasmine also possesses some impressive speed and agility, but is more focused on martial arts, and usually fights with a long wooden staff and throwing knives.
Their part of the franchise would be focused on them going on adventures while protecting the kingdom of Agrabah.
From who you may ask?
Well it's none other than their arch-nemesis Jafar.
As for why he's here, this ties into the over-arching story of this franchise.
You remember how I mentioned in the previous post that a major element of the overall premise of this franchise was various Disney Villains having joined forces in order to further their respective goals?
Which admittedly is a little strange since a good chunk are, you know, dead.
Well that's all thanks to Hades, who brought the villains featured in this franchise who had originally died back from the grave.
Other enemies of Aladdin and Jasmine would include Abis Mal, Haroud Hazi Bin, Mechanicles, Mozenrath and Xerxes, Destane and the Mamluks, Mirage, Chaos, Narisa, Saleen and her mermaids, the Al Muddy people, skeleton warriors, giant cobras, golden Shiva monkey statues, jackals, mummies, ifrits, living Egyptian statues, Rukhs, the three-eyed Giant, a tribe of mischievous monkeys, pirates, King Yunan and The Forty Thieves.
As for their allies, Abu, The Magic Carpet, Iago, Rajah, and of course, Genie would be the most prominent ones.
Other allies would include Scheherazade, Ali Baba, Sinbad the Sailor, Chandu, Fasir, Dhandi, Eden, Queen Thundra, Sadira, The Wizard Pharaoh Very Ankh-Amman, Prince Zayn Al-Asnam, Maruf the Cobbler, and Duban.
As for notable locales....
The kingdom of Agrabah (and its landmarks like the palace and the bazaar), along with its surrounding locations like the desert, the oasis, an ancient city, and of course, The Cave of Wonders.
There would also be other kingdoms and nations such as The Land of the Black Sand, Getzistan, Isle of a Galafems, Morbia, Odiferous, Quirkstan, Upanistan, Thundra's rainforest, The Subterranean World of the Al Muddy, Pakistan, Persia, Egypt, Jerusalem and Pei Ling City.
Peter Pan:
The main representative of this film would be, who else, but Peter Pan himself!
For his appearance, just like Hercules, Peter would have the same appearance he did during the later years of the original franchise.
Tumblr media
Personality-wise, he's also the same as he was in the original films.
As for what he's capable of.
Peter's fast and agile, incredibly cunning, possesses the power of flight, can command his own shadow, and fights with his trademark dagger, a bow and arrows, and a tomahawk.
His part of the franchise would focus his adventures and defending Neverland from danger.
And said danger is none other than his nemesis, Captain Hook.
Other adversaries of Peter would include Mr. Smee, the rest of the Jolly Roger pirate crew, Tick-Tock Crocodile, the cannibal tribe, and the various dangerous animals and creatures of Neverland.
Yeah, Peter doesn't exactly have a while lot of foes.
His list of allies is not much bigger either.
The most prominent would be obviously Tinker Bell and The Lost Boys.
Others would include The Darling Siblings, The Indian Tribe (who will be portrayed much more respectfully than they were in the original film) and the mermaids.
As for notable locales....
Peter's part of the franchise would be set entirely in Neverland.
As for Neverland itself, its notable locales would include Hangman's Tree, Mermaid Lagoon, The Never Woods, Skull Rock, The Indian Village, Blindman's Bluff, Cannibal Cove, Crocodile Creek, Marooner's Rock, Coral Beach, The Wild Jungle, The Misty Mountains, and The Never Sea.
Tarzan:
The two main representatives would be, who else, but Tarzan and Jane Porter.
As for their appearances, Tarzan, just like Aladdin, would have the same design he was suppose to have for the short-lived relaunch.
Tumblr media
As for Jane, she would wear an outfit that just screams badass explorer, ala Lara Croft.
That outfit would consist of a tan safari hat, a open green safari vest over a yellow short-sleeved shirt that exposes her midriff, green shorts, black fingerless gloves and brown boots.
Personality-wise, they're both pretty much the same as they were in the original movie and tv series.
As for what each of them are capable of.
Tarzan still possesses his near ape-like levels of physicality, skilled at surfing on tree branches, and carries a quiver filled with various weapons include a spear, a knife, a bow and arrows.
As for Jane, she's a pure brawler, using the boxing skills she learned from her father and the animalistic moves she learned from Tarzan. She does fight with a few weapons like a sling and a boomerang.
Their part of the franchise would focuses on them protecting the jungle and its inhabitants from all kinds of threats
And their biggest threat would be none other than Clayton, another one of the villains brought back from the dead by Hades.
Other foes of the duo would include Clayton's henchmen, Queen La and The Leopard Man, Tublat, Lieutenant Colonel Jean Staquait, Professor Samuel T. Philander, Lady Waltham, Histah, Mabaya, Zutho, Sheeta and Nuru and other dangerous animals like baboons, leopards, pythons, crocodiles and dinosaurs.
As for their allies, Terk, Tantor, Professor Porter, Kala and Manu would serve as their most prominent.
Other allies would include Renard Dumont, Hugo and Hooft, Moyo, Mangani, Basuli and Kiwazi.
As for notable locales....
The Jungle itself, along with some landmarks within it like the treehouse, the watering hole, the swamp and Waziri village.
There would also be the kingdom of Opar and the lost world of Pellucidar.
Well that's all for now! I knew it took a while for this to happen, but I finally decided to buckle down and committed myself to continuing the very idea I shared with all of you.
Definitely planning on make a part 2 to this, which will hopefully be out by next month.
Let me know what you guys think about this so far, and what ideas you may have for the movies I talked about for this post, or for the movies I'll be talking about next.

i know people are good because of this: the universe often assigns me side quests. in a circular strangeness; despite my inability to locate my-own-anything, i am almost-always finding someone else's lost things. dogs, coats, phones, cash, laptops. it happens so often it's almost tiring; suddenly being looped into a tiny amount of detective work.
but when i'm with other people who are not used to this: the response is almost invariably delight. yes, maybe they are simply thrilled by the mystery. it's just... they light up so much. i think maybe more... i think they like the opportunity to do something kind.
a few weeks ago, i was at a bar and i found a wallet as soon as we stepped outside. i felt nervous to ask for help, worried i would be holding up the night. i picked it up and said go on without me, i should help this get back to its home.
instead, three people pulled out their phones - to find him on facebook, to help cancel his credit cards. two people went back into the bar to tell the bartender, two others went calling down the street. group texts, facebook posts, instagram stories. people, without even seeing what happened, start offering help to me. fifteen minutes and: someone knows someone who knows the guy. the cheer that went up - just for finding him, just for this small thing. someone gets him on the phone. strangers dance around me, hopping on their feet - are you the girl that found that wallet? good for you, that's a good thing you're doing/same thing happened to me and somebody did what you're doing and i thank god everyday for people like you/i can't believe you found him so fast this is so exciting
i gave it back to him in a parking lot. i watched his shoulders sag with relief. there was cash in it still - he checked the pocket, and then sheepishly held the money out to me. i didn't take it. i held up my hands. "it's no problem, man. i know you'd do the same for me."
i don't know him, to be honest. i don't know if he is the same kind of person i am. but he nodded at me.
and i know people are good. i know people are good, because the way this story ends isn't surprising. we wave goodbye awkwardly. my friend loops their arm around me.
"i can't believe we got it back to him," they said. "i'm going to be riding that high for weeks."

Lockscreen background
Malleus x gn!reader
i seem to have a thing for characters who are clueless abt technology hahaha, this takes place before we actually find out his real name btw
(also i apologise if malleus is ooc in any way i'm still in the early books of the game😭)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Hello." You heard a voice behind you as you exited the classroom. You turned around to find... uh, Hornton, was it? You still can't get over the stupid nickname that Grim picked, but he seems completely okay with you calling him that, so you keep doing it.
What could he possibly want with you?
"Uhh, hi...!" you greeted him back awkwardly.
"I have a somewhat trivial yet important matter I need help with." He opened and you tilted your head slightly. Now your interest is piqued.
"Let's go somewhere more... private." he suggested at your confused expression. You nodded slowly. Though this whole conversation is strange so far, he looks anything but malicious. And knowing him, he never is.
The two of you went to a more secluded part of the school and as soon as you got there, he pulled something out from his pocket, handing it to you. It looked to be a brand new phone.
"Could you help me with this object? I have no idea how to use it and you are the only one I can approach about this." he looked a little worried.
"Sure, what do you need help with?" you offered and his expression softened slightly.
"Turning it on, for starters."
A silence fills the room.
"Ahahahaha, oh jeez... I'm- I'm sorry- hahahaha...!" You couldn't help but laugh. He didn't even know how to turn it on?
Needless to say, he was not amused by your laughter. "If you will laugh at me, I will not be needing your help anymore." He crossed his arms.
"No- No- I'm sorry, I really am." You had to hold back a few giggles. "I'll help- I'll help you, you just shocked me with how little you know about a.. p-phone." He suddenly seemed like a 90 year old grandpa who bought a phone to talk to his grandkids and didn't know the first thing about it. What a funny mental image.
"You're talking strangely." He commented, and you quickly turned the phone in his direction before he could question your attempts at stifling a laugh.
"Here, see this button? You press it and the phone turns on, like this." You demonstrated, and his face lit up.
"I see. But, the salesperson informed me that this phone is unlockable by something called 'Face ID' as well. Do you know what that is by any chance?" The genuine interest in his voice was actually kind of cute.
"Don't worry about all that. Actually, why are you buying a phone only now?" You thought it was strange. If he was this clueless about technology, why buy a modern cellphone all of a sudden?
"During class, some of my classmates were discussing about these so called phones. They talked about something called a 'magicam'. And I... became curious." the little pause at the third sentence made you think that might just not be the full truth. But you have no reason to be suspicious or question him on it, so you just told yourself to forget about it.
"Magicam might be a little too... advanced for you right now. Here, let's start by exchanging contacts." You showed him the 'contacts' app, opening it and inputting your number and your name.
You handed the phone back to him. "Here, now press this green button on the bottom left and you'll call me." he did as you instructed and your phone started vibrating in your pocket. You pulled it out, answering the call.
"Hello!" you said cheerfully.
"I can... hear you twice. Is there magic imbued within a phone?" his eyes were widened slightly, even more so when he heard his own voice from your phone.
"You silly goose, we only hear eachother twice because we're standing right next to eachother. Stay here and place the phone next to your ear, okay?" you smiled at him, walking away.
"I am not silly and I am certainly not a goose. I thought it was obvious enough by taking once glance at me."
"It's not an insult, Hornton. It's like a silly little thing you say to someone when they say something, well, silly." you smile, now completely out of his line of sight and standing in a different room.
After a few moments of silence, he spoke again "I can still hear your voice."
"Yup, that's what a phone is, in essence. Nowadays we use it for a lot of things, but basically, you can call people on it and you'll hear their voice and talk to them, no matter how far away from you they are. Isn't that cool?"
"How very fascinating." you could hear his amusement through the phone.
"Oh, I just have one more thing to do! I'll come back in a moment!" you ended the call, running back to where you were before.
"I got suprised for a moment. The phone made a strange noise and I couldn't hear you anymore." he cleared his throat. He must have panicked a bit when you hung up. How cute. "Calling someone is definitely much more convenient than sending them a letter."
You just realised that he's probably been sending physical, handwritten letters to everyone up until this point which makes him even more charmingly old-timey in your eyes. How funny is that?
"Give the phone here for a moment." you requested and when he did so, you opened the camera app and turned it towards the two of you to take a selfie. You could see him inspect himself through the phone.
"I see, so it functions as a mirror, too. What a marvel."
"Well, do I have news for you. This is the camera app, and we're going to take a photo together. Now smile!" you nudged him slightly and he smiled very awkwardly and unnaturally. Oh well, you'll take it.
You snapped the photo, setting it as his lockscreen.
"Here, now you have a photo of me and you as your background!" he took the phone back, staring at your face on the screen.
"I actually have something I have to be doing right now, so I'll continue teaching you about phones later! Call me if you need anything! Oh, and I'll save your number too, don't worry!" You waved to him, running down the hallway.
"Goodbye." he said back, immediately looking back down at your picture with him. Your face is truly precious in it. He is very glad to be in possession of a photo of you.
He knew you were the right person to ask.
.
The reason he decided to buy a phone was that he felt sad because he couldn't talk to anyone without a disconnect. Ignoring the fact that most of his classmates are afraid of him, they wouldn't be able to find common ground in hobbies and conversation topics regardless.
So he thought that maybe he could start by getting a phone upon hearing students discuss phone cases and the like. Surely, understanding what the masses currently enjoy would make him more approachable.
He is eternally thankful to you for helping him out.
You're very welcoming to him and that makes him indescribably happy. One day he'll repay you with all the things you could ever want. He has the abilities to do that, after all.
Maybe he should give you something as a thank you next time you meet, actually. What did you say you enjoyed again?
That's what he thought about as he looked at his lockscreen on his bed that night. If only you saw the way he smiled at your photo.

Dick and wally were sitting at the wayne family dinner table with their joint families announcing their engagement. Just before desert their was a knock on the front door. Alfred went to tend to it. Nobody thought anything of it till Alfred came back to dinning room with a large meta with him and two scruffed young kids hanging from his hands.
"I believe you have a guest master dick, master wally." Alfred said looking at the red head with a bit of judgment.
"You." The large meta with a goatee and flaming seemingly flaming hair. Motioned to wally with one of the kids who protested. "Well shit you are all here." He looked around the table. "Good I only need to do this once then hopefully. Quit fucking with the time stream." He ignored the throat clearing of the butler and the half raised from the seat posture of most of the dinners guests. "I'm tired of cleaning up all these timeline collapses you speedsters cause. So here is the deal." He sat the protesting kids down in to wally's lap. By phasing through the table. "I'm going to pull all your kids who would cease to exist from the now failed timelines and drop them all in your laps. And I don't care how many it ends up being. You want to cause me problems. You're getting all of yours 10 fold." As he backed out of the table. He pointed an accusing finger at the speedsters. "Do not try me! Oh and By the way. Congratulations on your engagement." He gave a rough pat to alfreds back. "Thanks old man." And then he vanished from sight.
The bats stared at the speedsters. "Care to explain that?"
"Who was that guy?"
"OH my god I'm a dad!" Wally said in shock looking down at his two kids. Ignoring Barry arguing with half the bat clan.
"What are your names?" Dick said all smiles at the two little kids sitting in wallys lap.
"Jai"
"Iris"
