Captain Marvel Adopts Superboy AU
TW: Angst and a little violence
Imagine an angst fanfiction where the Justice League is put into an impossible situation where Superboy has to die in order to save the whole universe. Everyone is arguing about the ethics and what they should do. Dad Captain Marvel™ is absolutely against sacrificing Superboy or anyone but Superman thinks it's a necessary evil to save everything in the universe!
Superman talking to the league: All of creation is about to be wiped from the world! Do you know how many lives wouldn't have happened, how many people wouldn't have lived!
Superman: Connor isn't more important than the whole universe! 
Captain Marvel furious turning Superman around and sucker punching him in the face:
HE IS TO ME!!!

Part Five
Rainbow and Sweetiebelle trotted after Twilight, who was leading them to Scootaloo' cell. The orange pegasus filly did nothing, just... stared straight ahead. With that horrible grin. It made Twilight wonder if the infecteds' mouths could even close.
Tumblr media
"Here she is." Twilight said, stepping back so that Rainbow and Sweetie could see what had used to be Scootaloo.
Sweetiebelle shrieked in terror, covering her eyes with her hooves. Rainbow looked... stunned. "...What happened to her?" She said, looking at Twilight.
"Applejack's video wasn't a prank. It's an infection, a... a virus, maybe? I'm not fully sure." The purple pony replied.
"...She looks like a zombie..." Sweetiebelle whimpered. "Or a decayed apple... With all those sores on her body- c'mon, someone needs to patch her up!" The unicorn whined.
"A decayed apple?" Twilight chuckled. "I suppose we have a name for our little ailment now. The Decaying Apple infection." She said playfully, in an attempt to make Sweetiebelle smile.
It didn't work. So Twilight sighed, clearing her throat. "I'll let you two have some time alone with her. Just don't get too close. I think this stuff spreads through the bloodstream, Scootaloo was infected through that cut on her side."
Then she left.

Ignore the eyes and just keep walking. Just keep walking. Just keep walking. Just keep walking. Just
What eyes? You look back, and before you know it she's right on top of you. Your back pinned against the ground. Fuuta and Mahiru scream as Amane's claws dig into your shoulders. You try to get away but she's so much Stronger than you.
You look straight into her eyes. Her pupils slit and her brows furrowed. She looks so.
Scared.
Tears stream down her face and drop onto your skin. "I'm sorry....I'm so sorry....I can't stop..." She seems to be struggling just to talk. "I just can't...it won't let me....Please..."
Please save me.
You die before you're able to answer her.

TW: mentions of blood/bodily harm
The following is a transcript between Thatcher Davis and [REDACTED] Heathcliff, recorded on September 22nd, 1992 on Heathcliff’s account of the recent disappearances of Mark Heathcliff and Cesar Torres. It is to be noted that Heathcliff has chosen to stay anonymous to the public, requesting to have her name censored on all public documentations of this event outside of classified MCPD files. Interview goes as follows:
[DAVIS BEGINS RECORDING, AUDIBLY SIGHS.]
Davis: State your name for the record.
Heathcliff: [REDACTED] Heathcliff.
Davis: Do you know why you’re here today?
Heathcliff: It’s…because of my son, isn’t it…
[ANONYMOUS OFFICER IN THE ROOM SPEAKS]: I’m sure you’re aware of his recent disappearance, along with his friend, correct?
[HEATHCLIFF REMAINS SILENT.]
[NAME REDACTED]: Do you know of anything that might’ve…gone wrong between them, Miss Heathcliff?
Heathcliff: They…they were best friends, Mark…he…didn’t have many people like that; Cesar was like…a brother to him.
Davis: He was at the Torres household a few nights before Cesar’s disappearance, correct?
Heathcliff: I believe so.
Davis: Do you know why?
Heathcliff: It was a visit…staying the night.
Davis: Visiting…for what reason?
Heathcliff:…He…mentioned that he wanted to talk to Cesar. He didn’t say what he wanted to talk to him about.
[DAVIS WRITES ANSWERS DOWN. OFFICER IN THE ROOM SPEAKS]
[REDACTED]: You mentioned that your son has been acting…strangely, correct?
Heathcliff: Yes…but…not violent.
[REDACTED]: I wasn’t implying he was. Why do you mention that?
Davis: I can take care of this myself, [REDACTED].
Heathcliff: I-I don’t know, he just…felt…I don’t know.
Davis: Can you describe these behaviors?
[HEATHCLIFF REMAINS SILENT FOR AROUND FIVE SECONDS, PRESUMABLY THINKING.]
Heathcliff: He…seemed more distant; more than usual.
[REDACTED]: Do you believe it has to do with his diagnose?
Heathcliff: He…never acted that way before. He liked staying in his room and kept to himself but…it almost seemed like he was…avoiding everyone, even his sister. Though, I don’t…think his depression had to do with it.
Davis: Is there anything else you’d like to mention, regarding these changes in behavior?
Heathcliff:…He started…sleepwalking. Knocking on his sister’s door and…talking, though I never knew what he was saying.
[DAVIS SIGHS AND SLIDES NOTEBOOK TOWARDS HEATHCLIFF]
Davis: This seemed to have belonged to Mark, is that correct?
Heathcliff: Yes. He liked writing in a journal…it was a suggestion by his therapist.
[DAVIS GOES TO SPEAK BUT IS INTERRUPTED.]
[REDACTED]: There are multiple entries inside that imply that he and Torres’s friendship was starting to become potentially toxic. Were you aware of this?
Heathcliff: N…no.
[REDACTED]: Ma’am, it seems that…Mark had…been feeling bitter towards Cesar shortly before his disappearance, stating things like “he won’t listen to me” or “he’s ignoring me” and similar things.
[HEATHCLIFF APPEARS WORRIED, AND REMAINS SILENT.]
[REDACTED]: If you don’t mind me asking…was Mark a particularly…violent person?
Heathcliff: He…n-no, he wasn’t. He…got into a few fights at school, but he wasn’t naturally violent or-
[REDACTED]: Ma’am, that could be a sign of an underlying problem. You mentioned on his report that he had problems regulating his emotions, including anger. It could be possible that he was particularly angry at Cesar that night, the night the supposed visit took place.
Heathcliff: My son is not a murderer. I came here hoping that you could stop all the rumors going around town that my son is some sort of…twisted psychopath. Do you know how many calls I get, yelling at me about how my son killed one of the most popular kids in school?
[REDACTED]: Now, I’m not making any conclusions, I’m simply stating that…it’s certainly possible.
Davis: I’ll take care of this myself, [REDACTED]. You’re free to leave.
[REDACTED]:…Lieutenant, I must-
Davis: That is an order.
[OFFICER LEAVES THE ROOM, SHUTTING DOOR BEHIND HIM.]
Davis: Apologies…as I was saying, your son—
Heathcliff: It doesn’t matter what I say, does it?
Davis: Pardon?
Heathcliff: No matter what, you’re going to…pin all of this on Mark, aren’t you?
[HEATHCLIFF APPEARS TO BE HOLDING BACK TEARS.]
Davis:…No. Not enough evidence to pin anything on anyone. Your son is not being accused of anything…I’ll make sure of that.
Heathcliff: Your friend seems to disagree…
Davis: Are there…any…particular events you’d like to mention before we wrap our conversation up?
[HEATHCLIFF AVOIDS EYE CONTACT. APPEARS NERVOUS.]
[THERE IS SILENCE FOR AROUND 10 SECONDS BEFORE DAVIS CLOSES FOLDER]
Davis: Then I suppose you’re free to—
Heathcliff: Yes.
[DAVIS PAUSES AND SITS BACK DOWN.]
Davis: Can you…describe them?
Heathcliff: He…for a period he…God. He was so…polite.
Davis: That sounds…like a good thing.
Heathcliff: Not this time, no. He was…too polite, before that he was so cold and…irritable, but for a day straight he was so…soulless. I don’t know what got into him; Sarah even told me he was banging on her door one night…asking her to…follow him somewhere.
Davis: Did she tell you where?
[HEATHCLIFF REMAINS SILENT.]
Davis: Did Mark say where he wanted Sarah to go?
Heathcliff:…Home.
[DAVIS WRITES ACCOUNT OF EVENTS DOWN.]
Heathcliff: It all ended when…I…oh God…opened his bedroom door.
Davis: What did you see?
Heathcliff: He was…kneeled on the ground…almost like he was…praying. But he wasn’t, he was…biting his hands until they bled. There was blood all over his face and arms and…I don’t…I didn’t know what to do—
Davis: It’s alright, Mrs. Heathcliff. Was he…typically this…self-destructive?
Heathcliff: No. I…don’t…believe so. After that he seemed…normal. As normal as he had been lately.
Davis: Ma’am, you have been told of the gun found in his nightstand, correct?
Heathcliff:…yes.
Davis: Do you believe he may have been…contemplating—
Heathcliff: I wish to go now.
[DAVIS PAUSES.]
Davis:…Very well. I believe we’re done here. Contact me if you have anything else you’d like to mention.
[HEATHCLIFF REMAINS SILENT AS DAVIS RETRIEVES EVIDENCE FROM THE TABLE. DAVIS FLINCHES.]
Davis: What did you say?
Heathcliff: I…didn’t say anything.
[SILENCE FOR AROUND FIVE SECONDS. DAVIS APPEARS PERTURBED.]
Davis: Very well…you’re…free to go.
[END TRANSCRIPT]
Notes: Will investigate the Torres household with Ruth in three days. There has to be something more to this case, I know it. I’m not letting a young man be blamed for a crime he didn’t commit.
I heard something. I know I did. But it didn’t sound like her.

my extremely corny and indulgent but satisfying and symbolic ideal scenario for Kazuya and Jin to fully Break The Cycle™️ would be for one of them to grab and save the other from falling off a great height. perhaps even a cliff.
#LIKE YEAH ITS CHEESY AND A BIT OOC AS OF NOW#BUT IMAGINE WITH THE PROPER BUILD UP FOR THIS TO HAPPEN#cause jin already *kind of* accepted his father by accepting himself. he's not *there* yet but he left him alive after all#and kaz has a lot of work ahead of him before he would even take that action but PLEASE. PICTURE IT.#i dont even know who i want to save who bc both works so well regardless#if its jin saving kaz. not only has jin never participated in the cliff-tossing curse of the family but he's actively preventing it#and as for kaz: for the first time someone is NOT letting him fall. kaz who sees falling as a proof of weakness.#of course he would probably see him getting helped as an humiliating form of weakness but just as jin learned in t8 that hes not alone#well maybe he could see that wow someone (other than jun) his blood- his SON is helping him despite it all. must be a weird feeling.#that right here right now for arguably the second time in his life- hes not alone.#and as for kaz saving jin... well frankly i dont even have the words.#it feels too indulgent to imagine kaz preventing his son from suffering a similar fate as him. and would confuse the hell out of jin#smth about both of them having lost their wings but still not being at risk of falling if theyre willing to have each other in this fight#or in their lives.#also its kaz willingfully breaking the cycle HIMSELF even after hes convinced himself that family hurting each other is part of their blood#idk. i love on-the-nose symbolism#ok im done being sappy#tagging later#tekken

I've been seeing lots of takes lately with people feeling hatred towards part 2 Speedwagon for being a greedy capitalist who probably exploited people and done some shady stuff to become wealthy because there was '''no way he could have become rich just from oil money'''... thoughts?
it's so disappointing to see some bad takes about the Speedwagon Foundation being some "acshually nasty organization" and about Speedwagon supposedly becoming some heartless rich man popping up again. And like, I shouldn't even be surprised at this point considering how the average "Jojo fan" mistreats Part 1 and 2 and alllll the misinformation they love to spread about them and about some characters in particular, often bastardizing them into wildly out of character versions and pretending those fanons are canon for whatever reason (being Speedwagon one of the characters that gets bastardized like that the most), sometimes just to make Blorbo Of Their Choice look better by throwing every other character under the bus, sometimes just because people can't be bothered to pay attention to the og if there are no punching ghosts on sight (and even then, Jojo parts featuring stands get misinterpreted a lot too).
This is gonna be long, so let me start by saying that if y'all really believe that Speedwagon somehow became some nasty ass rich man, then you're completely misinformed and you (and I say "you" in general and not specifically you anon) might benefit from rereading/rewatching the source material and actually paying attention to the plot and details this time.
Like, I've seen people assuming that the Foundation only researched the stone mask and eventually stand stuff, and completely forgetting that one of the literal main goals and also one of the biggest things the Foundation does is seeking for the betterment of the planet as a whole (preserving nature, wildlife, etc) as well as for the betterment of medicine and health care, actually seeking for the best for all humankind, this in addition to all the secret branches it has for the research of supernatural phenomena like stands, stone masks, pillar men, and so on in order to prevent as many incidents with them as possible and prevent the loss of as innocent lives as possible.
Sure, the people working for those latter branches might get into deep trouble sometimes whenever some jerk with a stone mask or a stand starts some shit, but, another thing jojo fans tend to conveniently forget is that those employees are working for the secret/non-public branches of the Foundation. We as audience know about them because we are let into seeing them working as part of the narrative, however, the public in general within the story DO NOT KNOW about the existence of those branches or what they do. Pillar men, stone masks, stands and the research around them are kept in secret in order to prevent any sorts of chaos and ensuing panic, among other safety reasons.
The people working for those branches are specialized or at least have some prior knowledge on those fields they work in (you'd think it is a MUST considering they are being let in on sensitive information that could be super detrimental for the planet and for humankind if it fell in the wrong hands), meaning that those employees already know and are fully aware of the kind of stuff they're going to deal with there from the start. They weren't deceived into it, and the fact that the employees remain loyal to Speedwagon from start to end and respect and follow his will, even long after his death, denotes that there was some deep and mutual respect and appreciation there, something you can't earn through exploitation, and definitely something these people wouldn't have done had Speedwagon been the heartless tyrant rich old man some people with a lack of media literacy want to believe and make others believe he was.
If people paid just a wee bit more attention to earlier Jojo parts, they would have realized it was all spelled out from the beginning too! Speedwagon expressly states from the very start his disgust and hatred towards the rich, being the Joestars the only exception to that due to them being genuinely kind persons, unlike most other wealthy people out there. He was also implied to have been dirt poor for most of his life and was also stated to have lived in the slums at least up to PB's main timeline. There were never any indications or signs that showed that he ever betrayed those roots of his by siding with the rich against the poor over the years. Instead, he's been using his funds to make the whole world a better place for everyone, not only by improving health care and access for all people as well as the environment (which would actually show a sense of duty from him as he is counteracting whatever negative impact his oil company may have had on the planet), but also providing all the aid he can against supernatural threats.
And not just that, but he's also kept some of his connections with the crime world over the years. However, rather than using those connections for selfish goals, he makes use of them to workaround the system in cases like Lisa Lisa's, where he used all those influences he had to help her go successfully into hiding after killing the zombie that murdered George (an undercover zombie that was actually a higher up within the army and who everyone believed to be a regular human, hence their chasing after her to make her pay for that "crime" she had supposedly committed). Additionally, if you know anything about big companies and organizations, you'll know that the law is also not always there to protect regular people, and sometimes, it will cater to the more profitable goals, as well as some businessmen actively being shady af and "hindering" their rivals for their own benefit. The Speedwagon Foundation being an organization that vouches and actively works for the wellbeing of people would have probably ruffled countless feathers among those who seek for a personal gain, to say the least (think of the hijackers that tried to kidnap him, as shown in the flashback in BT, i.e). This is also where those connections he keeps with criminals come into play, as there are never any mentions about Speedwagon doing shady stuff through them nor using them to pursue some personal goal, which hints at the fact that he keeps and uses those nexus as means of protection against actual enemies. Defense rather than offense, if you will.
Also, lets not forget that Speedwagon found his reason to change his ways when he met Jonathan, and that a lot of the things the Foundation does are things Jonathan himself would have gone into had he not passed away (the archaeological research, the deep studying of the stone mask -which eventually led to the discovery of the pillar men just in time before their awakening-, all in order to prevent more incidents like the whole thing with Dio from happening, and so on). It's downright silly to think Speedwagon would even think of betraying Jonathan and his memory by using not only the second chance he received from Jojo himself, but also using the literal monument Speedwagon built to honor the deep bond and mutual affection the two had back when Jonathan was alive for some selfish goal.
And also, lets not forget how disgusted he was with Dio and every single vile thing he did to everyone. Do you really think he would want to follow a path similar to his, in which people are just another step for him to walk all over?? If so, then you sure are completely wrong about who Speedwagon really is like.
Those "he became some nasty capitalist lol", pretending that Spw became some heartless and selfish wealthy man along the way for no reason, all despite the heaps of constant evidence the canon has presented, even long after Speedwagon's passing away in the story, that shows that that was never the case only go to show that people are lazy and that paying attention to the story and the details in it is just something some Jojo fans will actively refuse to do and then will make the worst bullshit takes up about it.
Also?? People do realize that it's possible to become rich and not be some piece of shit?? Like, sure, I do agree that most wealthy people irl ARE shit and scummy af, but there will always be a few exceptions, you just don't always see them because the real kind ones don't go around telling everyone about every single kind act they do, they just put their money to good use to make their own employees lives better, or invest/donate money every chance they get to some organization of their trust and so on. Adding to this, do you all even realize people can't just throw money out of the window and that as a business person you always need to keep some capital to actually make your business thrive and so you can continue helping other people out in this case where BIG SUMS of money are being put to use in favor of actual civilians and people from all walks of life??
((Edit to add yet another Very Obvious display that Speedwagon never sided with the rich, not even in his older years: Smokey Brown! The kid is literally a mirror of Speedwagon’s own younger self in that both were criminals from the streets in a large city (London in Spw’s case, NY in Smokey’s), immersed in crime and poverty and most likely having to resort to crime as a mean to survive in a society that was even more classist (and also racist, and this can actually be seen in BT when one of the mafiosos starts spewing shit towards Smokey due to his skin color) than it is nowadays, both having no known parents or family either and having been most likely orphaned/abandoned. Had Speedwagon been this nasty ass rich man, he could have simply ignored Smokey or treated him poorly, or could have even turned him to authorities, considering Smokey’s criminal record just for the sake of “preventing him from stealing from him” or whatever. There was literally nothing Spw could benefit himself from by keeping Smokey around like he did, which is a core trait in abusive/exploitative people. However, he never did any of that. Instead, and despite the reigning classism and racism at the time, Speedwagon along with Erina always embraced Smokey from the start and basically became his godparents, never letting the kid go back to his life in the streets, providing him with everything he needed and making sure he received a proper education, which was something very few people of color (black people, specially) could receive. And yet, Speedwagon and Erina made it happen, very likely using some of Spw’s influences to allow Smokey go to the school (and eventually college too) of his choice without any stigma or trouble at all and covering all expenses for him. -end of edit-))
If this was, idk, the Metal Gear series or some other media that revolves around the topic of politics, then the whole "cRaPiTaLisM!!! >:O" thing would have some weight and be plausible as it directly impacts the main plot of the story. But here?? In Jojo's?? Where the main focus as stated by it's author himself is the strength of the human spirit overcoming obstacles in the face of actual evil??? Try harder.
And, before I get That One Type of fans yelling at me that "people don't just get rich without exploiting people in real life!!"… do you guys realize we're talking about animanga series where vampires, funky stone masks with spooky powers, pillar men, stands, people who can use some ancient sunpowered martial art, plankton that can turn into a sentient person, and so on can happen, right? And yet I don't see anyone whining that "tHaT DoEsN'T hApPeN iRl!!".
And like, if this whole claim stems from disliking Speedwagon, just say you don't like him and move the fuck on. You don't need to try to justify your disliking for him or for ANY other characters, let alone making up wildly out of character bullshit about them to try to prove to yourself and to everyone else why according to you the character is "bad". I promise you it is not a big deal to simply not vibe with a character.
