A Happy House: Part 1

Headcanon that when there are any quarrels or fights between league members, they cool down at Billy’s apartment.

I see this happening in the future when Billy’s like, early to mid 20s. He’s finally settled to the point where he doesn’t always worry about becoming a homeless kid again. People in the League know him as understanding to a fault, and always willing to listen to both sides of the story. His apartment is homey, and there are always magical creatures or family walking around, like his sister, best friend, or uncle Dudley. Maybe a celestial or a god is visiting. Maybe the universe’s higher ups are having a meeting in his dining room. Whatever is happening, it calms everyone down.

Sometimes it’s Connor, coming in from another fight with Clark. Sometimes it’s a fellow Magic user who feels ostrisized because of their power. Other times, it’s a Batfamily member who wants Bruce off their tail, and Billy will gladly use a shield spell to give them privacy from Batman’s detective skills. Other times it’s members of the Team after arguing with the JL. Or the JL sorting out a quarrel amongst themselves with Billy’s careful judgement.

Billy doesn’t know why he’s such a calming presence to them. He’s known them since he was a child, yes, a kid who hadn’t even hit the double digits. But he tends to be blunt. Straight to the point. He makes sure to show he cares, but the feeling can feel foreign at times when the world keeps biting you in the ass. And he can get mad when people are so obliviously stupid it hurts. He’s seen and heard more than enough arguments between adults to know when they’re pulling bullshit or saying something that shouldn’t be said. It’s an art at this point.

But he’s mostly quiet when someone comes over, and when the other person is permitted to enter, he lets them hash the argument out themselves, offering nothing but privacy and a smile when they leave.

…So yeah, he’s confused. But he’s just happy to help.

And the JL, Team and Titans are grateful too. He’s their relationship wingman! The guy who you know to go to when things get heated. His home is an oasis of calm and care.

They can watch as the Batson siblings banter in the kitchen. They can watch Billy bring John Constantine in by the ear and rip him a new one. They can smile in amusement as Billy puts one over on his fellow higher ups in the magic community on a freakin ZOOM call!

He’s easy to be around. There’s no pressure from him, no questions needing answers. He’s also not biased(unless it’s more than obvious who’s in the wrong).

So yeah, the heroes love their not-so-little-anymore magic man.

They love him so much that they immediately clock onto when things go horribly, horribly wrong.

See, Billy doesn’t like to get angry. When he’s Cap, he’s afraid of the power he possesses. He gets nauseous when someone bows to him like he’s their boss or something(which you are Billy bean, you gotta deal with it). Even when he’s in his mortal form, he doesn’t go beyond a flood of curse words or a couple jabs built off stress.

But there are a few people who know what buttons to push, and they push them. A lot. So much so that he tends to get a little…loud.

Oh and did I mention he didn’t exactly TELL his coworkers that he had an uncle? Hell, that he did have a family, they just didn’t care enough to be with him?

Yeah, that’s not gonna lead to anything, I’m sure.

My Uncle Dudley said that he was smart because he had lots of brains but since he took them all from people who were still using them, and eventually got caught I’m not sure that he was.

A Marvel Family What-If : What If They grow up normally?

If the suspendium event and the rest of the shazam 1970s comic series didn't happen, i wondered what the future would be for the golden age Marvel Family

Billy: Mr Morris would probably hand over Whiz station to Billy, so he'd be the new owner of the station. Happily married to Cissie Sommerly

Mary: based on my previous headcanon on her being a fashion model (because i kept seeing mary being used as a model for back to school advertisements or clothing advertisements in fawcett comics), I'd like to think she'd own a Fashion magazine brand or continued the Shazam.inc business after Uncle Dudley's passing

Freddy: He'd probably open a comic book shop. In future days where he is in his 70s-80s, he'd write comics based on his previous diary entries of his adventures with the marvel family with a fake pen-name, as the newer generation are not familliar about the family and thinks of his comics as fictional

Kit: He tries to spend as much time with his brother after revealing himself accidentally, going out everyday to fish in a boat or to admire nature. It was a bit sad seeing everyone grow old as he stays the same, but it saddens him even more when Freddy started forgetting past events in his older years, it was why he would often read Freddy's diary back to him

Tawky Tawny: Tawny had a pretty long and famous life, still relaxing with the marvel family, being a businessman, a hollywood actor once. He was incredibly famous that they tried to make a documentary on his life! Sadly, there weren't any young tigers who could talk and walk like him to play the role as Tawny (let alone a tiger who wouldn't maul the camera crew), so they used CGI despite Tawny's complaint about the tiger being uncanny

idk, it's just these headcanon that popped into my head if the family grow up normally without the events of the 1970s shazam continuing the golden age, sorry if thid had reached some light-angsty territory (i know my angst writing is bad, forgive me for the cringe :>

Hear me out.

Gravity Falls. The Mystery Twins. But they're Billy Batson and Mary Bromfield. I had more coherent thoughts but I'm suddenly busy, so I drop this here

I would love this!

Gravity Falls is one of my favorite cartoons and dropping Billy and Mary into that world would be so easy. They love solving mysteries and dealing with the paranormal/supernatural!

Magic and monsters and weird scientific inventions are par for the course for both of them. They probably be equally obsessed with the secret magical journals and helping out random magical beings. Tawky Tawny would definitely be there, probably as a walking talking bipedal tiger in a suit who works in the museum (as tour guide like in canon).

You could have Uncle Dudley in the role of Grunkle Stan, just a bit more chipper and goofy. He still can run a tourist trap scam (he was a con artist when he was first introduced. He wasn't even their uncle he just pretended to be for money and clout but they all cared about each other anyways)

And you can mix and match Gravity Falls and Fawcett City weirdness for a lot of fun wacky adventures!

I really enjoy this idea! If you have time I would love to hear your more coherent thoughts!

Last Day Of Pride Post (Billy and Cissie Edition) 💖

No thoughts head empty but I am vibing with the idea of T4T Cissie asking Billy out to her school's Sadie Hawkins dance.

I think about this cute dance date as being in the beginning of their relationship and the first real date where Cissie is the one who makes the first move. Billy had been having a crush on Cissie since the moment he met her at the Whiz Radio station, thinking she was the prettiest girl in the world, so when he finds out that Cissie feels the same way that he does, the kid is jumping for joy :D

At the same time, he's like so nervous and shy though, because this is his first date ever! Of course he needs help getting ready! So, queue Billy going around asking everyone he can for advice on romance and dances.

Billy goes to Freddy to break the news and celebrate with chocolate egg creams.

He shly asks his twin sister Mary for help picking out which flowers to get for Cissie.

He smiles when he finds out Scott was also asked out by a girl at Cissie's school to the dance, relieved he won't be alone.

He studies a book of pick up lines that Sunny Sparkle gave (and promptly gave back because it was stolen).

He gets embarrassed when Mr. Bromfield helps him pick out a nice suit and tie while hearing his adopted father's dating stories from back in the day.

He laughs when Uncle Dudley tries to teach him how to dance with moves from decades ago.

He takes notes when Joane Jameson, his coworker at Whiz Radio, gives him polite advice on first dances.

He rolls his eyes when the wizard says he should be focusing on other important matters, but is grateful for the magic flower he's given for the corsage.

He groans when Tawky Tawny helps teach him the right elegant manners to use when on a date, Billy feels like he enrolled in a finishing school.

He asks for Solomon to give him the wisdom he needs to not embarrass Cissie.

He prays for Hercules to give him strength to be the best boyfriend he can be.

He begs Atlas to give him the stamina to dance every dance with Cissie.

He tells Zeus to mind his business 👋

He wishes for Achilles to grant him some courage to hold Cissie's hand.

He requests for Mercury to allow him the speed to help him get to the dance on time, not a minute or second late, to not keep Cissie waiting.

In the end, at the Sadie Hawkins dance, Billy and Cissie spend their first date holding hands and dancing along to bad music chosen by the chaperones and sponsor (Mr. Morris).

Billy calls Cissie beautiful. Cissie calls him handsome. Neither of them can take a compliment and go back and forth saying the other looks better.

Cissie is wearing an adorable pink and fluffy dress, wearing the flowers Billy got for her in her hair. Billy is wearing his first suit ever, and is so proud of it (although he hates the tie). They goof off and laugh at their awkwardness, smile at how good they both look in their suit and dress respectively, blush at the comments Scott makes about them being a good couple, and ultimately, know this was the best first date they could hope for.

The dance ends for everyone else at the end of the evening, but for Billy, his heart continues to dance for Cissie.

@wolfsbanesparks thought I would tag you since T4T Billy and Cissie

Forget about Captain Marvel vs Shazam or Mary’s hero name: I wanna know If and how these two are related.

Dudley Dudley and Darla Dudley. What’s their story?

I am always here to give Windy bad fic prompts. Considering my post about Uncle Dudley beating up Uncle Ebeneezer took off last week. (YJ) Billy is walking down town with Uncle Dudley chatting away when he suddenly goes quiet and hides behind a corner, Dudley H. Dudley asks his foster son what is wrong and Billy has to explain who that skinny old man that just walked by actually is.

"- and I know it's just an internship, but being at WHIZ is so cool! I get to help with stories, and I'm even given a small section to do for other kids once a week." Billy grinned, skipping down the street. Luckily the lack of crowd made that easy enough to do. "I'm even paid!"

"That's great Billy! But it's not taking up too much time?" Dudley said, eyes scanning over the store fronts and the old man walking down before turning to Billy.

"No, I can't work more than sixteen hours a we-" Billy paled, and then ducked into a nearby alley.

The skinny old man from earlier walked past, muttering about money and people who were so ungrateful. Only when the man passed did Billy come out from the alley and turn to Dudley.

Billy had fought legends and monsters without a flinch. Sure, the courage of Achilles probably came in handy, but that didn't change the fact Billy never hid for no reason.

"Son, who was he?"

A wash of feelings stole over Billy's face. He looked down at his shoes. "Uncle Ebeneezer."

Crouching down a little despite his old knees, Dudley tried to look Billy in the eyes. "Who?"

"He took me in after my parents died, and threw me out once he had the money."

Dudley nodded, but noticed the way Billy made himself small at the memories. "And?"

"And he treated me badly, so I was happy to go. But I have you now so it's alright, okay?"

Knowing better than to push, Dudley nodded. Still, if Billy noticed he was getting an extra nice ice cream sundae that day, he didn't mention it.

It seems weird to me that there’s such a line in this era of stories between “real” superheroes and the fictional superheroes that exist in comic books. It would be so odd to me to be reading comics in a world where real life superheroes actually existed to fight real villains.

Darla needs more time in the spotlight, and this little girl shall shine! I know how a lot of people will call Captain Marvel a boy scout, so that got me thinking, what about Darla being a girl scout? She'd be so cute! She'd even go around with the speed of mercury selling as many cookies as possible (taking money from the wallets of bad guys who were mean to her, and then giving them cookies for a proper sale).

Maybe while she's on a personal mission to earn more badges, Darla stumbles upon a mystical threat, and ends up doing her own solo mission, possibly up against Arson Fiend, Captain you-know-who/rhymes-with-yatzi, or the rest of the Sivana family. This girl has so much potential to show off just how powerful she is, and I'd bet even the JL would be impressed by her (one of these days I'll write a fic of her teaming up with Batman or Wonder Woman, or even both)

Also!

I just remembered about uncle Dudley, and then I remembered, hey, Darla's last name is also Dudley. Do you think there's a chance they're related??

I completely agree! I love Darla so much! She is such a sweetheart, but we rarely get to see her be the hero of the story.

I always low-key headcanon Darla as a girl scout, so it's so easy to picture her using her powers to collect badges and selling cookies (and getting into some trouble too of course).

If you ever write about her I would be so excited to read it!

You know, I don't think anyone at DC plans on having Darla be related to uncle Dudley, but I think it'd be cool if they were. Like if he was her uncle or grandpa or whatever (they'd be part of a mixed family so they don't really look related but they are) and Darla’s parents gave her up (like in canon) and he never knew what happened to her. Or maybe he wanted to take custody of her but couldn't financially manage it or perhaps he has a record (OG uncle dudley was a con man after all, just a lovable one) and the state wouldn't let him.

I just think it would have been a cool way to highlight some of the complications of foster care and family with a character that classic fans would already know and love. (And then he could be Uncle Dudley to the whole Shazamily because they are Darla’s family which make them HIS family too)
