My favorite HC ever is Dick Grayson just. Acting dumb. In all aspects.

Richard John Grayson is perfectly fucking capable of cooking. Is stereotyped to be capable of burning water and is banned from the manor’s kitchen. His brothers have no idea he knows how to make a three Michelin star steak.

Dick Grayson is bisexual. He knows this, has known it for forever, and is 100% comfortable with it. Based on what others would tell you, though, he’s completely straight and is actually a little uncomfortable with being considered gay. 100% a fierce ally to his queer family and friends tho.

What’s navigation like for Dickie Gray? A master. Can track anything, navigate anywhere, knows a dozen methods for any given survival scenario. To everyone else? Dick cannot do it. Incapable. Directionally challenged. You’d think a trapeze artist would know which way is up, but no. He gets it from his parents.

Dickiebird? Excellent manipulator. We know this. His family knows it. Some of his friends know it. They pray for any poor soul who has no idea how manipulative Dick can be. They watch in the distance disappointedly, knowing that Dick’s victim just thinks he’s an ordinary, honest, standup guy, all the while not even knowing that despite being aware of Dick’s true nature, they are being manipulated in equal measure.

Related side note: Good ol Richy? Incredible conversationalist. Everyone knows this. It’s his whole persona. Wears that fact on his sleeve. He always finds a way to make everyone feel like he’s interested in the conversation, even if he would rather die than talk about the current topic for a second longer. And this goes beyond just giving occasional sounds of acknowledgment and peppering words like “cool” or “yeah”. Someone could be talking about the most boring topic imaginable, and he’d have a dazzling smile on his face, his body language signifying that he’s completely engaged, will even ask proper clarifying questions in an attempt to learn more. When he exits the conversation, someone asks, “wow, are you really that fascinated by (insert inane topic)?” and while Dick’s smile doesn’t even falter, he immediately drops the pretense and says, “Oh, absolutely not. That was the most boring conversation I’ve ever had in my life.”

Dick Grayson has gotten this far in life because people consistently underestimate him. He’s made himself come across as juuust incompetent enough (in very particular ways that don’t compromise his image as a capable leader), leaving everyone absolutely fucking blindsided whenever he pulls the rug out from under them about what they thought he was capable of.

And we love him for it.

billy batson feels like hed be an owl city girlie

[abandonedpuppyengery]

“Yes.”  

Billy tried to sound resolute.  Level-headed.  But he could feel himself shaking.  

“What was the other option?  Risk letting you all die on the off chance we could have figured something else out?  What about all of the other people that could have died that day?  Have you thought about that?”  

Billy closed his eyes and bit the inside of his cheek, attempting to center himself.  

“Freddy, you have to understand... You have a future.  Mary has a future.  Darla, Pedro, Eugene, Mom and Dad - all of you have futures.  You’re all intelligent and talented and special in a way I can never come close to.  You have things to contribute to this world.  Maybe even make it a little better.”  

“But me?  Outside of this family, I am worth nothing.  I have nothing to contribute.  I don’t know what I’m doing with my life, Freddy.  There are enough superheroes in this world.  More deserving ones.”  

He looked Freddy right in the eyes, praying that he was getting through to him.  

“So yeah, maybe it’s selfish, but I’d do it again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  Because the only two things I’ve ever managed to do right with my life were giving you all your powers, and dying to protect you.”

Billy knew that Freddy had been upset with him.  It hung, thick and uncomfortable in the silence that filled their days since, well, since Billy had died.  Died and come back.  Something that he hadn’t planned on.  

After the initial joy of reuniting had passed, it didn’t take long for everyone to start treating him differently.  Like he was this... fragile thing.  That looking at him wrong would cause him to keel over.  He was just glad that somebody was finally confronting it.  

“I don’t regret what I did.  I would do it again if I had to.”

[abandonedpuppyengery]

Wait, wait, wait! Wait, Billy, Billy. Can I just see you before you go? Not this version, you… you. My Billy.

[abandonedpuppyengery]

@envychosen

Rosa didn’t know what she hoped to acheive by looking into the doctor.  Perhaps it was a sense of control.  After all, when you find out that your children have the power of gods, it’s difficult not to doubt your ability to protect them.  

Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.  He was the first man to threaten the lives of her children after they got their powers.  And she wanted to understand why.  She needed to know what her family was up against.  She needed to know how to protect them.  

And so, perhaps foolishly, she sent the letter.

He was a hero and a god. And he should be laid to rest like one.

[abandonedpuppyengery]

I used to think that I couldn’t do anything right, that I didn’t deserve my powers, but… there’s something that I can do.

No!

I can save all of you.

[abandonedpuppyengery]

It just scares me, thinking of him out there all alone.

[abandonedpuppyengery]

Billy rolled his eyes, but there was no heat behind it.  He couldn’t conceal his smile as he reached for another onion ring.  

“Whatever they had to do to make them back then,” he started before taking a big, overly-dramatic bite, “it was definitely worth it!”  

Billy laughed with him, then pulled out his phone.  

“Huh, google says it was some dude named John... Mollard?  Mullard?  Mall-ard?”  He half-shrugged.  

“Woah, they were invented in 1802.  That’s like...” Billy tried to do the mental math for a moment before just settling on: “hundreds of years ago.  Crazy.”

"well, i mean, who really knows," he said as he leaned in to dip his onion ring in the ranch that was on the side. "for all we really know, hades might be the one who invented it or something." not that hades was that much of a bad person, least not in the mythology he's read. "or it could just be some guy from a little town in montana." and with that, freddy laughed.
