Eddie posts a Tiktok of old home video. In the video, Steve is standing in the kitchen at the trailer with the phone wedged between his shoulder and his ear as he made coffee for two.

Someone must’ve answered because Steve perks up and says, “Hi, yes. I’d like to request a song. It’s - yes, the new Corroded Coffin song called….well, how was I supposed to know you have caller ID, Christine? Can you play the song or not?”

Steve hangs up the phone and immediately picks up his walkie-talkie like, “Earth to Dustin, use *67 when you call. They’re memorizing phone numbers. Over.”

Eddie behind the camera says with so much amusement, “You do this often?”

Steve smiles at him, finally bringing the coffees over to Eddie, “Every day. Gotta get your song out there so more people can hear it.”

Please tumblr help there was a humans are space orcs story that was about war and how originally the aliens thought we were easy pickings (because we don't have a tough exoskeleton, I think?) but then discovered we're fucking cyborgs and we don't die and we don't stop. I think it was written from the point of view of one of the warlike aliens

Ooooh I love this

But now, I am thinking, and I have soooooo many weird ideas

They become very popular because it is funny as hell to the point where the league finds out

just imagine:

Clark was taking a break in the watchtower, he was finishing his last article when Barry and capital marvel enter. Barry is talking about these new podcasts that he finds hilarious and Marvel's face is completely red as Flash puts the last one over the speakers.

Barry smiles at Clark, with that evil and knowing smirk Clark has learned to take seriously. “You are gonna like this one Sups”

It starts with two voices doing an introduction, claiming that the theme of that evening is aliens. Apparently because of a request from their fans.

The first voice full of enthusiasm starts listing the different theories about life in the solar system.

“ those are total lies, I mean how can you believe such faerie tales?” there is some amusement in his voice as he interrupts his partner. Clark can nearly hear the smile he must have. He glances toward barry whose smile has grown immeasurably and to Cap who is hiding his face in his hands, body shaking in amusement as he looks away.

“Aliens clearly don't exist” they insist, again the amusement bleeding in each word.

There is a gasp, “what do you mean? You do remember that Superman is an alien, right? And what about Marcian manhunter? You are gonna tell me they aren't aliens?”

“ of course, they aren't! They are both probably metahumans or something like that, I bet superman was a government experiment or something like that, you know? He is far too... I don't know... Perfect! That is the word. He is just so unnaturally perfect and sooo impossibly patriotic with his red and blue suit, totally the government’s fault!”

Clark couldn't help but chuckle, it felt like a weird compliment and insult at the same time.

“AAAAAAHHHHHRG,” the first voice screamed in frustration, only making Clark laugh more as Barry joined him on the sofa. “Let me get this straight, you are saying you don't believe in Aliens, but you have a complete conspiracy theory blaming the government for the existence of Superman?” the frustration in the voice wasn't exaggerated but was definitely hiding fondness, and by the lack of surprise in it, Clark could already tell it was a normal occurrence.

“Yes!” they answered with a monotone voice.

“I hate you”

And Clark hadn't laughed so hard in so much time

---

I was also thinking of wonder woman and wonder girl going to a restaurant together when the speakers start playing Billy’s and Freddie’s podcast.

This one is the one about magic, I am just imagining Diana's surprise and how Cassi would make soon much fun of each of her reactions, just pure domestic fluff. (But I don't know enough about them to feel comfortable writing something)

---

And young justice(the tv show) the team spends so much time listening to this podcast while Billy is their den mother, just imagine one of them making an offhand comment about how much they would like to be a guest in the podcast. And billy of course decide is a good idea to mention it to Freddie, And Freddie thinks it would be a good idea to invite the team over.

And then there is chaos when they are suddenly there and billy, who did not know they would be there, just stares at them. I can not even imagine the chaos, I will come back to this one later. (please ignore the disaster with timelines)

Soooo yeah that is it, but sooo many ideas!

Freddy & Billy have an unsolved mysteries/paranormal podcast & common themes are

1) Freddy getting increasingly frustrated when Billy’s being sceptical about something Weird bcos he can’t use his usual retort of ‘Billy a WIZARD gave you LIGHTNING MAGIC but you won’t believe in spontaneous human combustion??’

2) Freddy becoming Incandescent Withith Rage when Billy pretends to be sceptical about something they both know for a fact is real

Summary:

“It was raining, dull drops falling into the dark alleyways, bathing the dirty streets with the thick smell of wet trash; the gray sky and the heavily polluted air made that morning the perfect setting for a terror movie.

And standing in front of the sad old building in front of her, with her hair and clothes soaking wet, Cass felt out of place. The butterflies in her stomach were stating a war inside of her. “

Aka Cass learns how to make friends and finds support as a volunteer in a refuge

Notes

I have no idea what I am doing, but I wanted to give Cass more civilians friends and this is how it ended.

Hope you like it,

I will upload a new chapter every two weeks

Billy Batson Week 2022 Use #billybatsonweek and #bb82week to participate!

This February marks the 82nd anniversary of Billy Batson as Captain Marvel debuting in Whiz Comics #2. Here’s seven different prompts to commemorate the occasion!

Day 1 ✦ February 20, 2022 Golden Age + Fawcett Comics

Where it first began! This day celebrates the inception and legacy of Captain Marvel by Fawcett Comics.

Day 2 ✦ February 21, 2022 Iconic Team-ups + Dream Teams

From brownstone buildings to towers in space, Billy has had his fare share of home bases. What are some team-ups you adored, and ones you wished could have happened ages ago?

Day 3 ✦ February 22, 2022 The Boy and the Man + “Henshin Hero”

A “Henshin Hero” has distinct normal and powered forms, and can actively switch between the two — there’s none more iconic when it comes to Billy and his champion form! This is a day to celebrate the duality between both of them.

Day 4 ✦ February 23, 2022 Big Red Cheese + “The Cape”

The embodiment of the classic Golden era superhero, “The Cape” is a trope used to evoke admiration amongst other good guys. Boy scout. Good-at-heart. Whatever term you use, today’s a time to appreciate what really makes Billy the Big Red Cheese.

Day 7 ✦ February 26, 2022 Say the Word, Feel the Power!

Be sure to use the tags #billybatsonweek and #bb82week so everyone can appreciate your work!

There were moments in his life Bruce allowed himself to drown in memories, allowed himself to break down just a little bit. It was not like he couldn't get himself together, but occasionally, the weight in his chest would make his back ache and it took everything in him to not close himself off (it took him years and the new responsibility of having a kid to learn).

So instead, he forced his heart to beat, to remember and feel every emotion he could. Instead of distancing himself from reality, he obliged his mind to feel, it was the little moments like this that made being alive so painfully overwhelming and yet still so worth it.

He couldn't help the warm feeling in his chest at the sound of his laughing children. He closed his eyes as the music in the ballroom started to fade into a melody he knew by memory. The violins were playing a nameless piece in the background. His mother's gorgeous blue eyes looking over at him, the beautiful golden dress with green and red decoration she used that last new year gala, the warm and comforting feeling of her hands holding him while they moved around the room.

“One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three.” his mother's voice encouraged as the music keep playing in the corner of the room.

Bruce can remember so much about that little instant, starting with the sweet vanilla perfume his mother used, a perfume that brought back the fondness in his heart and tears in his eyes, it was the perfume she always used, it had a small hint of coconut and roses, but to him, it smelled like love. (He still had a bottle in the back of his closet.)

He Remembers the sound of her heels in the wood floors, the beautiful elegance in which his mother was able to dance never seemed to change, not even in the most painful heel. She danced in joy as her feet hit the board surface in perfect rhythm, as her feet moved with grace through the dance floor.

He remembers the itchy suit he used, made just for him. His mother had helped him put it on and even with his distress over having to use such an outfit Bruce had smiled for the shake of seeing her happy.

He remembers his father's warm laughter as the sound of a flash echoed around the room. He could still feel his own laughter bubble from his throat as his father watched them dance together, he remembers seeing Alfred from the corner of his eyes smiling as he held a camera. Still remember the twinkle in his mother's eyes, the most stunning smile on her face.

He remembered all he could, afraid he would forget that feeling.

But Feelings like this didn't last, even if he wanted, even if he tried his best to remember.

(-Because there was still the constant memory of that alley, the unmistakable smell of gunpowder, the sound of pears hitting the ground.-)

And even as the sound of his children having fun echoed on the back of his head he found his mind drifting to his parent's room, he had stayed there the night after the first gala he had assisted without them. The scratchy suit pressed his chest, his breathing was coming shorter than it should as he struggled to find some air.

He had cried and hipper-ventilated over their bed, His heart beating fast and in rage, thumping in his head, crushing his chest as everything faded away in the darkness of the night.

He remembers the Mist in his eyes as he trowed everything in his vicinity around. The sound of breaking glass as he shoved a pillow away. The tears in his eyes as he picked up the framed photo from the floor.

He remembers crying to not end, staying in that room until Alfred found him that morning. He remembers hugging Alfred and staying with him as the snow fell outside the window and as his heart broke just a little bit more.

But there they were, his family, reunited under the same roof, dancing around in their gala outfits. It was hard to feel sad when their faces lighted up in such genuine smiles.

So he took a second to appreciate the moment,

Cass was in the middle, dancing in her so unique and so expressive own way, (cause she was now safe to show her emotions, safe to dance and laugh) with the beautiful white and golden dress they had chosen together. She looked gorgeous, she looked happy.

Steph (who was technically not his daughter but was still family) and Damian were dancing together.

Damian was still trying to figure out how to dance properly, looking a bit tense every time he made a mistake (probably still expecting a punishment but only finding the fondness his new family was giving him). He was wearing a green suit as dick had convinced him to.

And beside him, Steph, who was using a long baby blue and lilac dress, was gracefully holding Damian as she encouraged him slowly through the steps of the dance. ( just as he had done for her not so long ago) A warm smile on her face and affection reflected in her eyes.

Dick was smiling from the table, observing his siblings with an amused look. The tiredness under his eyes left and gave space to the love written all over his features. He was using a way-too blue suit, one that the other kids chose for him.

Jason was leaning over the table, still wearing the fake mustache and the waiter uniform, talking with Alfred, both of them relaxed and open.

Tim and duke were trying (and failing) to dance with Cass, deciding to dramatically interpret a salon dance, all of their movements were messy and big and each one of them nearly made both of them fall. But they were smiling from ear to ear, their laugh echoing all over the room.

And if he happened to catch Barbara lifting her phone with a smirk on her face, he did not mention it.

As the Honduras elections are happening very soon I would like to remind everyone what happened in our last ones.

“In Honduras, the marketing team for conservative President Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH) “openly admitted” to operating hundreds of fake accounts supportive of him. Despite this, it took Zhang over a year to have the profiles removed, only for them to reemerge “within two weeks”; she adds that “the activity is still live and well.” JOH won Honduras’ 2017 elections by a narrow margin, but widespread allegations of electoral fraud led to protests which were met by state violence that resulted in dozens of killings, as well as a ten-day national curfew. In the brief period following this election, research found that a majority of Tweets which tagged JOH were sent from TweetDeck, a type of software used to send Tweets automatically. Despite domestic and international calls for a new election due to the statistical impossibility of the results and clear evidence of manipulation, the US government recognized JOH – a Trump ally – as Honduras’ legitimate leader and pressured other conservative allies in the region to follow suit. He has since been implicated by US prosecutors in drug trafficking activities.”

“The US government recognized JOH – a Trump ally – as Honduras’ legitimate leader” this is what you need to remember, the US government made this, and yet when Honduran people try to find aid, the same damn country that helped put us in this situation refuses to help us.

““Christmas no longer exists for us: not this year, not any year,” said Ramos as he leafed through freshly printed pictures of his oldest son. José Ramos, 22, was killed by military police officers last month, at a protest over alleged fraud in the country’s presidential election.

The contested results triggered the country’s worst political crisis in a decade and have led to the deaths of at least 30 people, according to the Committee for the Families of the Detained and Disappeared in Honduras (Cofadeh), a human rights group. Most of the victims were opponents of President Juan Orlando Hernández, who they say rigged the vote to beat the opposition candidate, Salvador Nasralla.

According to Cofadeh, at least 21 people were killed by the military police, (PMOP), which was originally created to lead the government’s crackdown on violent street gangs.

Relatives of the dead say they fear that there will be no justice over post-election violence: some say they have been threatened by troops; others point out that human rights prosecutions involving security forces are overseen by the same taskforce that helps coordinate PMOP operations.”

This happened nearly 4 years ago and these families still don't have justice for their loss.

It doesn't matter who wins, there is going to be a disaster and we all know it
