Lets Be Real, The Only Reason The League Doesnt Know Captain Marvel Is A Kid Is Bc His Villains Dont

Let’s be real, the only reason the league doesn’t know Captain Marvel is a kid is bc his villains don’t want anyone to know that they get the shit kicked out them by someone who hasn’t even gone through puberty yet. They keep that shit on lock down, any ‘outsider’ villain who tries to look for it gets the whole monster society on their doorstep, Batman steps foot in Fawcett once and almost gets mauled by every criminal in the city at once. When word got out the “world’s greatest detective” was on the look out for Marvels secret identity they all mutually decided that they had to find him and chase him out the city before he found billy. This leads to Marvel himself having to show up and put a stop to it

Unfortunately for Marvel this means the JL is very curious to know why his villains are so unusually protective of him, Billy genuinely has no clue and assumes he’s grown on them in some weird way but he just gives them a shrug, saying maybe they’re just territorial

You go through the Sumeru Archon quests thinking Alhaitham is a huge nerd because he brings a book to read in his spare time everywhere he goes...

...then you finish the Sumeru Archon quests and that one NPC outside the library tells you that physical books haven't even been in regular use in Sumeru because everyone has been using their Akasha Terminal instead.

This man is bringing books to read when books aren't even really a thing in Sumeru to begin with.

Nerd. (Affectionately, of course.)

wildly unpopular opinion maybe, but every time i see something about jason "moving on" or "getting better," it just pushes me further in the opposite direction & i want him to go even more off the deep end. going back to being a weird little anti-hero isn't enough anymore. we have to balance the scales. he needs to start burning down buildings for fun. start framing heroes for his crimes for literally no reason. start eating people again. brothers in blood 2

Khoa! You can't just burn a man alive like that!

Personally I always like to think of Billy Batson's hometown Fawcett City, is magically cursed. It's stuck sometime between 1947 and 1953. By which I mean everyone is aware it's 2023, and they still get news from the outside and they can leave, but everyone dresses, and talks like it's 70 years ago. If you move to Fawcett City your clothes will slowly transform themselves into 1950s versions of themselves, by the end of the month big ticket things like your car will have transformed, your TV will become a radio, your computer and cell phone just gone. Now everyone is magicked to just not mind and indeed think this is all very normal in fact the whole world is magicked to not think Fawcett is anything other than "a little odd" so people move there or away etc. Though people from Fawcett (like say Billy Batson) sometimes struggle with the oddest of our modern world. Also no one can explain how emails still manage to get in and out of Fawcett even though there are no computers (or texts for that matter) but again everyone is magicked to not question it too much

Sorta interesting thing I noticed while reading Kavetham / haiveh fanfiction is that the most popular fanon seems to be that Kaveh is into make-up and has a whole beauty/skincare routine, but -

If you look at their faces, Al Haitham is the one obviously wearing make up? Like he has his peachy eye shadow situation and the same liner Kaveh has. Kaveh does have more pronounced eyelashes (mascara maybe?) but Al Haitham is definitely also wearing some make up, if not more make up.

I sorta like the idea that Kaveh, distractible architect extraordinaire, has the same insomnia I do and so doesn't get out of bed until the last minute before leaving. So he actually never plans time to do complex make up, if any at all, and his hair is stuck with a million clips and no sense of cohesion. His shirt is half unbuttoned cos he literally walked out of the door still pulling it on.

In contrast, Al Haitham has his life (and morning routine) in order, so he has time for a splash of eye shadow in the morning. He's very efficient and bare-bones about it, just a couple of products to look a little more presentable, but it's there. And ofc looking good is important when you're so recognisable.
