Billy: This is my villain origin story, fuck you.
WIP excerpt: Billy and Damian and the whole soulmate thing.
“That could be considered a security concern,” Batman says very, very neutrally, which is when Billy realizes Batman hasn’t actually said anything to him since he said “Shazam”. 
Shit. 
“So what?” he says, edging a little bit away from Batman as he eyes him warily and debates “Shazam”-ing himself again. Like. No reason. Just this might be an easier conversation to have on eye-level, that’s all. 
Also it’s Batman, so . . . 
“It’s true,” Superman says, wincing slightly. Billy shoots him a dirty look. He still hasn’t forgotten that Superman apparently thinks he shouldn’t be allowed to risk his literal life and soul, like he thinks he’s bad at this or something? He’s really good at risking his literal life and soul, actually! Like, he’s really good at it, and it’s his whole literal thing. Superman didn’t even get hired to do this, he just showed up one day and started punching people! Billy at least had a job interview! 
Such bullshit. 
“Seriously?” he says with a scowl. “I’m good at secret identities. Nobody knew mine ‘til I told you! That’s the same track record as Batman!” 
“It’s technically superior,” Robin says. “Red Robin and Black Bat both deduced Father’s identity as children. And also–” 
“That’s unnecessary information at this time, Robin,” Batman cuts in while Billy’s still appreciating having a supportive soulmate. Robin rolls his eyes. Or Billy’s pretty sure he does–he can’t really tell through the mask, but Robin moved his head like he was rolling his eyes. 
“The list would require some time to go over,” Robin says like he’s agreeing. Billy hides a snicker in his hand. Batman eyes him. 
“. . . you do realize I'm going to be taking you in now, right?” he asks. 
“Dammit,” Billy says. 
“Holy crap, Cap swears?!” Flash yelps. 
“Oh yeah, it’s actually like a magic thing,” Billy says. “I literally can’t say bad words when I'm Captain Marvel? So no, technically, but also yes and all the fucking time.” 
“My entire life is a lie,” Flash mutters as he buries his face in his hands. Green Arrow pats him on the back. 
“You can’t ‘take me in’,” Billy says, scowling up at Batman. “I've gotta protect Fawcett. And you’ve got like, so many kids! There’s no way you have space for another one! They wouldn’t even let you, anyway, as soon as somebody noticed I was there I’d just end up in the stupid system again.” 
“I’m a licensed foster parent and there are seventeen bedrooms in my house,” Batman replies dryly. 
“Bullshit!” Billy sputters. “That’s not a house! Nobody’s house has seventeen bedrooms!” 
“Technically that count includes the servants’ quarters and guest wing, but it is accurate,” Robin says. 
��Guest wing?!” Billy demands. “Why do you have a guest wing?!” 
“For guests,” Batman replies matter-of-factly. Billy scowls at him again. Just because Batman’s funny doesn’t mean he’s gonna laugh. Or get stuck in the system again. 
Like, he’ll just run away immediately, obviously. But getting to the point where he can run away is gonna be a pain, and the League is obviously gonna be a pain about it too.
Ugh. This is so dumb.

@suzukiblu Bet you never guessed MBT stood for Mainly Billy Thoughts!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
It's finally done! That took forever but I'm happy with it now.
Match's hair was an experimental journey since I've never drawn him and I didn't want him to look too similar to Kon but he needed to still look like him to try and steal his identity. Plus it does not help that Google has almost no idea who he is, I could barely find pictures of him. Think I've officially drawn the first piece of Match based fanart.
Due to my marker selection, I was left unsatisfied with some of my colors (mainly skin colors, I wanted Clark kinda lighter than his kids) and the length of the sweater so I touched them up digitally. This is before I touched up the colors, before I colored the skin, and the sketch + minimal coloring and line work.

Ko-fi thank-you sentences for Karam, plus a cut for more; Billy adopts Conner and it actually goes pretty good!
The walk over to the diner is quiet, mostly. Billy tells Lynn where some things are in Fawcett and points some stuff out in the neighborhood, but Lynn doesn’t really say much back. He nods along, though, and Billy's pretty sure he's listening. 
Maybe sure, at least. 
Worst case scenario, he figures he'll just repeat himself later. If Lynn's a little too stressed or overwhelmed to really be listening right now, well, he definitely wouldn't blame him. He's a baby, basically! Everything's gotta be so new and weird and overwhelming for him right now.
Billy isn’t gonna push. Not on day one, when they don’t even know each other yet. Lynn can take his time all he wants right now. It’s not like he’s hurting anyone, or even himself. So Billy just has to be patient with him while he learns stuff, same as any little kid he’s met in the system or on the streets. 
They get to the diner and Lynn hangs back a little bit. Billy suspects Cadmus did really not prepare him for restaurant etiquette and stuff like that, considering. He’s pretty positive it didn’t, in fact. Billy doesn’t go to many restaurants himself, but . . . 
It’s fine, he figures. He just needs to be a good example for Lynn, that’s all. And that’s what he always needs to do right now, so it’s no big deal. 
He hopes he’s being a good example, anyway. He really wants Lynn to be able to trust that he is one, so he can know he has someone to learn from, so . . . yeah. 
Billy goes to the counter, politely gives their fake last name–Batman would not appreciate them half-assing the new secret identities–and tips the waitress twenty percent and thanks her. It’s kind of a lot of food, but they have super-strength and a fridge for leftovers, so he figures it’ll be fine. 
He does feel a little nauseous over how much money he just spent, though. 
Batman gave them way more money than that, Billy reminds himself as he gathers up the bags. And there’ll be more next week. And if they actually somehow run out or just have an emergency, he can just fill out the League paperwork to requisition funds to make up for it. They could spend way more than this and still be fine. 
He’s pretty sure takeout is still gonna be a special occasions only thing, though. And couponing. Couponing is definitely gonna be a thing. 
It’s just a lot of money. 
Billy gets all of the bags juggled into his arms. Lynn looks awkward again and shifts Tawky under his other arm. 
“I can carry it,” he says stiffly. 
“Well, if you wanna,” Billy says. “We could split it?” 
“. . . sure,” Lynn says, still stiff. Billy smiles at him and offers him a couple of the bags. Lynn frowns, but takes them. Billy figures it makes sense Lynn wants to help; that’s pretty normal with little kids. Like, they always wanna do what the older kids are doing, or the adults, or just whoever. So it makes sense Lynn would too, especially if Cadmus didn’t teach him this stuff to begin with. He’s learning, basically. So yeah, it’s normal. 
And also a good sign, Billy hopes, if Lynn trusts he knows what he’s doing enough to copy him. It’s even sorta cute, actually. 
. . . okay, it’s really cute, but Lynn’s kinda a teenager so he might not appreciate hearing that. 
Still cute, though. 
They walk back to the apartment–back home, which is a weird thought, Billy recognizes fleetingly but tries not to focus on right now–and Billy unpacks all the food onto the coffee table in the living room. He figures that’ll be lower-pressure than the kitchen table for their first meal together, and they can put a show or a movie on if Lynn doesn’t want to talk too much or anything. 
Lynn sets Tawky on the end of the table, looking a little awkward about it. Billy smiles encouragingly at him. Tawky doesn’t really need to eat either in his stuffed animal form, but it’s nice that Lynn’s including him at lunch. And food does still taste good, obviously. 
“What do you wanna try first?” he asks, nudging the open box of onion rings over towards Tawky. He knows he likes them. Lynn frowns, looking a little wary. 
“It doesn’t matter,” he says stiffly. “Just . . . whatever.” 
“Okay,” Billy says, figuring that means he’s a little overwhelmed by the options. They did order a lot, so . . . yeah, that makes sense. “How about the soup, then?” 
“. . . sure,” Lynn mutters, and warily pulls the takeout bowl over to himself and takes the lid off. Billy offers him a spoon. Lynn frowns, but takes it. “. . . thanks.” 
“You’re welcome,” Billy says cheerfully. Setting a good example, and all.

Ko-fi thank-you sentences for a guest; Billy adopts Conner and it actually goes pretty good!
Lynn stares at him for a moment. Billy waits just in case he wants to say something, but Lynn doesn’t. He just stares. 
Then he looks down at the soup and frowns again. Billy glances down at it too. It’s just normal chicken noodle soup, as far as he can tell. Well–a little nicer than the canned stuff he’s used to, but still. Just, like . . . soup. 
He wonders if Lynn’s ever had soup, actually. Cadmus definitely taught him a lot of stuff, but that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be any weird blind spots, and he’s only been out of his pod for a few days on top of that, so even if he knows what things are, that doesn’t mean he’s experienced them. 
Billy eats a zucchini fry, mostly to let Lynn figure out the soup situation. He figures he’ll let him ask if he’s having an issue. Though maybe it’d be better to just tell him upfront . . . ? 
Admittedly, it’s soup and Billy already gave him the spoon. He’s not sure what else might be tripping Lynn up. 
The zucchini fries are pretty good, at least. 
Lynn hesitates a moment longer, then puts his spoon in the soup and takes a bite. 
“How is it?” Billy asks, hoping he likes it. Or at least doesn’t hate it, anyway. 
“It’s hot,” Lynn mutters before taking another bite, which isn’t an answer to the actual question, but that’s fine. He’s learning. And he’s still eating it, so he probably doesn’t hate it, at least? Right? 
. . . Billy really needs to have the “no” conversation with Lynn as soon as possible. 
They split up the food and eat. Tawky gets most of the onion rings–in polite little nibbles when neither of them are looking at him, specifically, because he’s a gentleman and has very nice manners like that–but Billy pays the most attention to what Lynn eats. Just about all the soup, though he barely touches the applesauce; a couple of the zucchini fries, but only with a lot of ranch on them. About half of the pancakes and the burger, and most of the fries and hash browns and bacon. A little of the eggs, though he makes a face about them. Billy tries not to either push anything on him or keep anything from him, and Lynn frowns through most of the meal, like it’s all weird and new and strange. 
Well, it is, probably, so Billy figures that makes sense. 
He should definitely buy chicken soup when they go grocery shopping, he decides, and probably some pancake mix and burger stuff too. Those’ll all be good to have around, if Lynn likes them. 
When they get to the cake, Lynn stares blankly at it for a long moment before glancing up at Billy again. Billy tries to look encouraging and easy to talk to. Or like . . . at least kind of easy to talk to.
He knows how hard it is to talk to a new foster family, and he doesn’t mind talking nearly as much as Lynn seems to.

Has Billy told Lynn that Tawny isn’t just a stuffed animal? Regardless it’s adorable that he’s taking Tawny with them to the store and at the table
Oh, he has not told him a DAMN thing, this is a FULL reverse!Calvin-and-Hobbes situation. 😆

Is nobody gonna offer him the childhood joy of falling asleep somewhere and magically waking up in bed?? Unbelievable.
i want to believe that the other batboys get so caught up in how damian NEVER acts like a normal child, that whenever they see him engaging in regular kid activities™ everyone is on high alert whilst trying to preserve the moment.
tim's with kon and they walk past jon's room to see him and damian playing toy cars? they start walking faster until they're a safe distance away, to stop in their tracks and share a mutual "what the fuck???"
jason and damian are arguing, something jason says strikes a nerve, and damian just stops and breaks the stoic act. jason has NO clue what to do with himself, because nothing he's ever said has gotten a non-violent reaction out of the kid.
dick's taking damian to the cinemas, and lets him pick what they watch. damian picks a kids movie, and doesn't make comments about it seeming 'childish' or 'boring', instead he looks genuinely interested. dick goes along with it but is really taken aback.
damian's patrolling with the other boys, and sustains a mild injury. everyone's used to him fixing himself up and never making a big deal out of it. they've seen him break bones and refuse medical attention, mainly because of how the league trained him. so when they get back to the batcave, and are all getting fixed up in the infirmary, everyone's shocked when damian, sitting to the side about to patch himself up, starts crying, because he's exhausted and hurt.
whenever the boys see damian asleep anywhere but his room, they make sure to tip-toe past and tell the others not to wake him. usually when this happens it's because he's been so exhausted, that he's sat down to watch a show, been playing with titus, or doing schoolwork, and he's just fallen asleep in the middle of it. afterwards, dick especially, makes sure that damian's sleeping enough, which is hard, because no one can tell that he's tired until he physically passes out.

the worms and me
ao3 link
Summary:
In third period biology, they learned about the food chain. Mrs. Johnson made everybody create diagrams, color them in like they’re kindergartners. Billy drew thick, wobbly lines connecting the consumers to the decomposers to the producers. Eventually, everybody’s plant food. Billy was almost plant food. He wonders if he’d grow a Tree of Life or a weed.
process behind posting this culminating in just "fuck it we ball" so have this super late post fotg oneshot

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.

Goodbye, multiple year long hyperfixation on a traumatized boy with blue eyes who grew up far too fast
Hello, brand new hyperfixation on a traumatized boy with blue eyes who grew up far too fast
Perhaps I need therapy
Anyway, I’m out of the Dream Smp and into the Shazam fandom now and I started writing fanfiction again for the first time since I was like 11!

Ship: TimKon
Starter sentence: "But I just don't understand," the Kryptonian clone's eyes darted between his hands as his mind fumbled over itself, "what about me makes it so worth it to care like that?"
Take it away, champ.
"But I just don't understand," the Kryptonian clone's eyes darted between his hands as his mind fumbled over itself, "what about me makes it so worth it to care like that?"
Tim thought about destroying, like . . . just a couple of labs, government-funded or not. And maybe just a few people. Like–just a few.
Maybe just the government entirely, if he has to.
"Do you want the list or the manifesto?" he asked, curling his own hands into fists underneath the table as his heart squeezed painfully in his chest.

Tysm!!
Something I need to learn, that you obviously have down, is how to loosen up with my style. I'm so stiff and strict with my line art that I kill my mood for the rest of the piece.
What brushes do you use?
speedpaint request
@dcmainlybillythoughts This was a speedpaint of a doodle i did for my favorite character, but sadly due to the quality of the video and the overusing of halftones, the speed-paint ended up being low-quality…
Tumblr media
Sorry :p
