Ace-is-undead - Can’t Wait To Tear My Face Away And Reveal Myself

One thing I’d love to touch on one day, probably in a “Batman adopts Captain Marvel” fic, is how Billy went through what would’ve happened if Bruce wasn’t taken care of

Specifically, where Billy had wealthy parents, pillars and stewards of their community, who died tragically when he was young and left him in the care of someone who he was supposed to trust, so did Bruce. But their situations went differently

Bruce was left in Alfred’s care and was taken care of, Billy was left in his uncle Ebenezer’s care and neglected and then thrown out with his inheritance taken away from him. Both at roughly the same age and both having enjoyed a fairly idyllic childhood that’s suddenly torn away from them, with Billy it’s either his parents murder at the hands of Theo Adam or a sudden lightning strike that causes them to crash their car and die.

Bruce lost and reacted with righteous fury and anger at the world, resolving to do good and make sure what happened to him doesn’t happen to other people ever again while fixing the issues that helped cause his tragedy. Billy lost and reacted by staying the same and by showing all the kindness the world failed to show him, never stooping to the level his villains go to because he has to be better or he’s just being another bully. The grand difference being that Bruce still had someone holding him up and giving him a shoulder to cry on with a room to isolate in, Billy had none of that and had to work to keep himself safe and fed.

Idk, just with all the focus on putting these two characters together makes the angst brain go full throttle

im loving the difference between the magnus archives slow burn, dread filled story vrs the magnus protocol which is like being shot with several different chekhov's guns all at one

Shazam should be so much more popular and it’s a crime he isn’t the most beloved character ever. I need a constant stream of Billy Batson content or my brain will actually implode. everyone in the world should make content of him just for me I think. Dying rn.

Anyway new chapter of my fic is almost finished and should hopefully come out tomorrow and I’m halfway through writing a new one shot, it’s keeping me alive but just barely. To anyone who still makes Shazam content or even just enjoys him, you are the best and thank you for seeing how excellent he is.

Hello everyone, sorry for disappearing from Tumblr for a month (it's happened before and it'll probably happen again) but I finally broke my two-year streak of Not Writing!!!

I wrote 9000 words of a Magnus-verse crossover between Archives and Protocol that I'm very proud of actually!!! (And posted it like, two minutes before episode 8 dropped, so it still counts lol)

Spoilers through MAG200 and TMAGP 7 !!

“We fell through a crack within the fabric of our universe, and landed here in yours—”

His companion groans. “Oh, don’t start with this again. It’s time travel—”

“—I’m sorry I’m ’pedantically splitting hairs about the very nature of our existence in this universe,’ Martin, but if I—”

Sam blinks, hard, as something trips that sense of deja vu again. The way he said that, even more stuffy and academic than before, sounds incredibly familiar in a way that’s almost within his grasp.

“Wait a second,” Alice says abruptly, her voice pitching up. The strangers pause their bickering, turning to frown at her as a huge grin spreads across her face. “Are you Chester?”

Martin cuts the tether; two strangers appear out of nowhere in the OIAR break room.

I'm proud of myself for writing it and y'all should be proud of me too!!!!!

(also, I am SO sorry to everyone who follows me for Gundam, I promise I'll get back to the Dylandys eventually, but Jon Sims is my entire life now)
