I'm going to combust. /Pos

Can’t wait to find out who Damian’s pocket is. More please 🙏

“I am not aware of his originator,” he says. He has not encountered any new strangers recently, nor gotten notably closer to anyone he already knows. No one he’s met even in passing resembles the Pocket, either, even if he were cleaned up a bit more. 

Well–Damian technically did meet Captain Marvel and his tiger the other day during that nonsense just outside Fawcett that Father had somehow gotten roped into, and Captain Marvel does bear a slight superficial resemblance to the Pocket in terms of coloring and the particular shade of red the Pocket seems to favor, but Captain Marvel is also definitely not the Pocket. There’s absolutely no mistaking one for the other.

Unfortunate, really, since Captain Marvel, again, has a tiger.

Anyway, I'm back.

Billy headcannon 2

Billy is really smart, he's just also ten and has no formal education past age seven because of homelessness. He's not been in school for three years, and if you put him back in a classroom he would struggle. He's not a Robin, or anything, he can't plan a battle or a stealth mission.

But he is street smart. He could tell the difference between two drugs in a glance and has a brilliant judge of character. He knows how long it's safe to eat foods for once they go mouldy, and he can patch a stab wound with virtually nothing.

If he had gotten to stay in school, I say he would have been a humanities kids. Let this boy write essays on books, and history, and religion. You cannot convince me of anything else.

I can't stress how much I love how you write/draw Match.

He looks so tired and pouty while holding Kon. He's just like, "Why do I have to do this? This is the opposite of safe! Do you understand how I could take advantage of this situation?" And then he proceeds to not actually do anything threatening.

And then he's just so lost in Superman's scent that he doesn't realize how zoned out he is. I can't wait for Superman to finally release, "Oh hey, this isn't Kon... This kid is presenting right now... Shit." Gonna have to give the Kryptonian version of the birds and the bees all over again.

Some fic WIP-related sketches I've been noodling at, as previously polled about.

Match and Kon and the mortifying ordeal of being panic-adopted

Clark wakes up alive and finds a four year-old about it

Kara gets to Earth on time and the Kents get a two-for-one special on free kids

Kryptonians have omegaverse genders but nobody told Match

All these links are chrono links and therefore won't work on the app, so non-chrono versions are included behind the cut, along with image descriptions.

[ Four sketches of various Superfamily characters from DC Comics, illustrating assorted scenes from assorted fic WIPs.

First sketch: Match and Kon and the mortifying ordeal of being panic-adopted. A slightly battered Match is disguised as Kon and holding a dazed and semi-conscious Kon while Clark wrecks utter Kryptonian-level destruction on the Agenda lab in the distant background. Match looks exasperated about this.

Second sketch: Clark wakes up alive and finds a four year-old about it. Clark is in costume and smiling, crouched in front of a physiologically four year-old Conner in Cadmus, who looks wary and is holding Kraig in his lap. Desmond, Guardian, and Dubbilex are in the background. Desmond is angry, Guardian is confused, and Dubbilex has no comment at this time.

Third sketch: Kara gets to Earth on time and the Kents get a two-for-one special on free kids. Kara is curled up in the wreckage of her and an infant Kal's crashed ships with him wrapped up in her arms, wearing Kryptonian clothing, with both of them apparently unconscious and laying on the El crest blanket.

Fourth sketch: Kryptonians have omegaverse genders but nobody told Match. Beta!Clark is dressed as Superman and newly-presented omega!Match is disguised as Superboy. Clark is smiling affectionately and pack-scenting Match, who he thinks is Kon, by cupping his face in his hands. Match has no idea what is happening and is currently overwhelmed by his first experience with the soothing beta pheromones whammy. A visual thought bubble depicts Match in his normal appearance being confused as fuck. ]

WIP excerpt for K; Billy adopts Conner and it actually goes pretty good!

Lynn stares blankly at him. Billy tries not to look awkward. It’s . . . awkward. 

Definitely awkward. 

“Am I not allowed to say no?” Lynn asks, his expression flat and empty and the question coming out perfectly toneless. If Billy hadn’t already been braced for the possibility of hearing it, he would actually flinch. He’s pretty sure Tawky does flinch. 

“You can say no whenever you want,” he answers, firm and immediate. “But you need to mean it, or else I won’t know what’s really a problem or not, or what you really need from me.” 

Lynn keeps staring blankly at him. Billy bites back the urge to ramble. He doesn’t need to over-explain it. He just needs to be clear and easy to understand and answer any questions Lynn asks. 

That’s–what he’d want. That’s how his dad was. So that’s just all he needs to do and be, and hopefully it’ll work for Lynn as well as it worked for . . . him, before. 

He can do that, he tells himself. He can figure it out. One way or another. 

Lynn stays quiet. Keeps blankly staring. Billy tries not to fidget or worry, and also resists the urge to maybe nudge Tawky a little. Tawky’s more huggable than him right now, and Lynn kind looks like he could use one. He doesn’t wanna assume or anything, just . . . 

He would, if it were him. Most people would, he’s pretty sure. 

He’s not even sure if anybody’s ever hugged Lynn at all, actually, he realizes abruptly. Like–ever. 

Wow. Uh, okay. That’s . . . a totally horrible and horrifying thought. 

Crap. 

“Uh,” Lynn says, finally, glancing down at the table. “What I . . . need . . . from you?” 

“Um, yeah,” Billy says, still feeling awkward, but . . . but it’s important to be clear with little kids, and make sure they know what you mean and that you really mean it. “I’m your dad now, Lynn. I’m here to help you with things you need. Like, to make sure you have food and clothes and a roof over your head and all. And, um, the Justice League’s covering the money-related stuff, obviously, but I’m gonna be, like . . . the one who's taking care of the house and you and making sure stuff’s working for you and all. So, um, I need to know you feel safe telling me ‘no’ or aren’t just saying ‘yes’ because you think it’s what I wanna hear or, you know, anything like that.” 

Lynn goes quiet again. Keeps his eyes fixed down on the table. Billy bites his tongue before he can start rambling again. Tawky is polite, and leaves Lynn the space to talk if he wants. Tawky’s really good at that, Billy’s always thought. Like–really good. 

“. . . stuff you just want, too,” Billy blurts after a moment, then has to repress a wince, because that’s not being patient and not-rambling. Lynn looks up, looking–weird, a little. 

“Stuff I–want,” he echoes.

it's a fun hc of mine that during dick's robin days, he went through the "omg i wish i had a cool secret language so i can have secret conversations with my friends" phase all kids go through. but one of his closest friends at the time also happened to be the batman, a guy with possibly the most bizarrely diverse arsenal of skills in the world. bruce sees the merit in the entire idea of a coded language to communicate rudimentary information when they can hear but not see each other. so why not make a code built on bird vocalizations? it's pretty much incomprehensible to anyone without a trained ear or comprehensive knowledge of birding and impossible to even passably mimic without proper training, so while the chances of interception are high, the chances of someone understanding it enough to interrupt during the middle of a bird-convo and feed false information are not.

it also, batman and robin come to realize, feed into the "holy fuck our vigilantes are cryptids" idea. bird sounds that come from seemingly no determinable location (ventriloquism) come to mean batman and robin are nearby. to the goons of gotham, bird song becomes inextricably connected to getting your ass kicked by the dynamic duo. the real reason why criminals don't operate during the day is because they get skittish and jumpy about if the sounds of birds chirping are real birds or some masked vigilantes lying in wait to rock your shit, and it's just easier to commit crimes during the night when all the birds are asleep so you know for sure.

ornithologists have boards on their bedrooms dedicated to the bird-bats of gotham. they've written dissertations.

the bird language becomes a bit of a batfamily bonding connection. teaching each other how to do different clicks and whistles, making up slang so bruce and barbara can't complain of clogging up comms with non-mission relevant talk, searching up birds to associate them with different people, psychologically terrorizing the criminal populace of gotham by chirping at them...

how the bird code works is that there's a bird assigned to each one of gotham's major heavy hitter criminals and vigilantes, and a few assigned to heroes out of the city (by which i mean the ones the bats associate with often enough to have a sign to address by). the only birds i've got so far are the robin (for robin. self-explanatory) and the glistening-green tanager (for the joker). i only have one for the joker bc i wanted to reference this hc in one of my fics and so searched up green birds to find the most eye-searingly annoying-to-look-at green bird i could find, and the glistening-green tanager was the closest one to fit the bill.

You know when you surprise your cat while they’re cleaning themselves and they forget to put their tongue away? And you know how Tawky Tawny is just a big ol kitty?

Even the most sophisticated of individuals can be caught off guard!

Poor guy is embarrassed! Billy is going to brag about this to the entire justice league about this for weeks.

The video turned out a little blurry but it’ll take me a while to figure out how to fix that and I already spent five and a half hours on this thing so I don’t wannaaaaa. If the people (a single person) demand it then I shall, but until then you get what you get lol.

Au where Jason Todd is sacrificed to the King of the Infinite Realms and, upon realizing Danny isnt actually interested in human sacrifice nonsense, immediately shoots his shot

Like this man has been reading romance novels for as long as he can remember and he absolutely refuses to let this set up go to waste. He has a strange new world, a kind but powerful king, a castle, and big ass fucking library right there.

Too bad his family didn’t get the memo and reverse summoned him back too early.

———

Jason: *finally seduced Danny and is about to initiate the “frantic sex after weeks of pining” portion of the plot*

Jason: *is summoned back*

Jason: *has hickies all over his neck, claw marks down his back, unzipped pants, and no belt*

Jason: …

Jason: I hate all of you, you cockblocking motherfuckers. I had him right there! I could have been his husband. HUSBAND!!!!!

Bruce:

Tim:

Dick: …looks like you’ve been having a better few weeks than we have.

Damian: Father, I believe this is sufficient proof for removing Todd from the family.

Jason: IF YOU FUCKING WAITED I COULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT ONE

Tim: sorry that we worried about you being at the mercy of an all powerful ruler of the dead???

Jason: *sighs with heart eyes* god I fucking wish. His eyes are so pretty when he’s angry 💕

What do you think Superman would do during the eclipse?

I like to think he'd run around panicking like an animal that didn't know what was going on. Of course he knows what night time is and of course he knows what clouds are, but there are no clouds and it's 3 pm and the sun is disappearing. He needs the sunlight to survive and so does Earth. He doesn't know what to do about this.

Oh thank the stars there's a set outline of how to build a pocket universe, that makes my life so much easier.

Also now that I've read how the function, my brain keeps comparing pockets to kwamii's from Miraculous Ladybug.

Thinking about making Pocket art for the Damien and Billy soulmate thing to go with my Pocket Kon work. I know that WIP isn't a Pocket universe but I just want a tiny Billy.

-MBT

Okay but I love that immediately, hahaha. Tiny Billy for the win!!

Also I just KNOW Damian would be AMAZING with a Pocket, he would fuss over them beyond all reason and it'd be so cuuuuute. 🥹

Damian would tuck his pocket in every night and draw his pocket playing with his pets and I'm literally so obsessed now.

I wish I knew more about how pockets worked so I could actually write this or something, ack.

Wisdom of Solomon in a Nutshell

Flash: "I found this civilian child lost in the middle of the battle and I can't find her parents."

Shazam: "Split her in half."

I’d like to imagine that sometimes the Wisdom of Solomon ends up being ridiculously outdated; and when it’s pointed out, Cap has to take a minute to recalibrate and install a software update.

[dcmainlybillythoughts]

I started reading the older Shazam comics and my favourite part so far is that the writers literally just went “he can transform wherever, whenever and no one will know it’s him because it’s so sudden.”

The small child you were talking to was suddenly struck by lightning and now a tall muscular hero is in his place? Sure that’s normal and not concerning at all! The man gets hit by lightning and now the child is back, safe and sound? Well of course, why wouldn’t he be when their hero was just there to save them!

Billy is so casual about transforming in front of others and will do it multiple times in a single interaction and the world is none the wiser.

Imagine he tries to reveal his identity to the Justice League by taking them out to an empty field somewhere. There’s no one around for miles and the entire field is flat and empty so nothing can get destroyed by the lightning. They all gather around him, he says the magic word and…

“Where’d he go?”

The entire Justice League is stumped about where Captain Marvel went. Barry zips around the area a few times but can’t find him. Superman uses his X-ray vision to see if he’s underground somehow. Batman, worlds greatest detective, looks up to see if he flew away.

Billy just stands there. No one even looks at him because of course there’s a kid here, why wouldn’t there be?

I love it so much.
