In love with the idea of captain marvel being Billy's imaginary friend. Like, it'd be so easy. Early depictions had them as almost fully separate people sometimes, like one soul with two minds, rather than just two filters like we mostly see now.
But imagine a Billy down on his luck, hurt and hiding from police and criminals alike, daydreaming the hours away as children do, taking inspiration from all the superheroes rising to fame, making little stories to play out his dreams of saving the world with a generic action doll he found while dumpster diving once. Most of the paint's rubbed off.
Red's his favourite colour, his comfiest jumper is a bright ruby even after all the grime and washes. Gold, too, it's shiny and warmer than silver! A hero cape is a must, big and eye catching! And he can fly, of course, like superman, and in his daydreams, when he's sore and frustrated after a long day's grind, his superhero is smart enough and knows all the right words to get the bullies to stop without resorting to fighting.
His superhero fantasy is one he spends a lot of time on, the first one he goes for when struggling to sleep at night, and he can picture it so clearly. Captain marvel is big and bright and kind, strong enough to lift the boxes for the old lady up the road who's moving all by himself, fast enough to catch Jamie who fell out of the tree on Saturday and broke his leg and couldn't come to class for weeks. He appears at the entrance to alleys when Billy is cornered, he steps up behind to cover for him when he gets caught shoplifting, he sits at the bus stop with him when it's pouring rain and the right bus doesn't seem to be coming.
And then the wizard comes, or rather whisks him away, and like a magician from a fairytale breathes life into his imaginary friend until Billy feels thrice his size and a million times more invincible.
From then on, captain marvel is a real hero, just like Billy is a real boy, and as one they save the whole city, and then the whole world, and get cats down from trees and help Mrs Victoria move the last of her boxes and she gives them a pinch in the cheek and cookies for the road and sometimes it hurts but it's so much better than he imagined.

What are some ideas you have floating around that you don't have any plans on writing but like to entertain as a thought?
Many of them, in fact! Though they sort of vanish from my memory if I don't make a record of them, here's a few ones I jotted down when they came to mind.
For a domestic one: Bill thought he'd hate a lot of being married! Even though he loves Dipper, he thought he'd rebel against the chains of domesticity - and in some ways he still does - but one major benefit he's found is not having to be 'on' all the time.
No need to be perfectly performing all the time! No shoving around for social influence, no intimidation, or clever tricks. No commanding attention or taking up the room. Hell, there's surprisingly little upkeep! Bill can undo his tie and pick his nose and bitch about his day to someone who isn't bending over backwards to agree with him on everything. Someone who doesn't give him a weird look and sneer if he, god forbid, actually wants to sit down, read a book, drop the grin for an hour or two.
The concept in question is Bill's very first moment of great surprise. That when he isn't being the most charming, terrifying, and exciting guy in the universe, and just chilling out for like, five minutes, Dipper comes over and snuggles up to him on the couch, or wraps his arms around his shoulders and kisses the top of his head. And when Bill asks 'what was that for?', Dipper shrugs and goes 'eh, just felt like it'. It's both baffling and extremely compelling.
A short where Reincarnated Dip is Definitely Sure he's Not Gay!!! Especially not for this Hot Demon Man who is getting so close and touchy with him with his big smile and horrible wiles. Yep. Just keeping an eye on him to make sure he's not up to something Nefarious ™.
A discussion between Dipper and Bill where Dipper insists that Bill should understand this, or not do that, because, like. Y'know, Bill's a guy! There are guy things! Making Bill stare at Dipper like he's an idiot. He proceeds to informs Dipper how that's stupid for multiple reasons! First, that Bill's Not Human to begin with, his gender can't be put into a little box! And frankly, he never filled out the paperwork for his original one, come to think of it. Sure, he/him's fine, but c'mon, sapling, thinking of the whole shebang like a binary is dumb as hell. Now Dipper has to do some mental readjustment re: his own issues with masculinity/gender.

I love that Ephemer’s first conversation with Player is like “Thanks for the help! Did you know your life is a lie?”
There’s no way he’s not knee deep into conspiracy theories.
This was prior to Data Daybreak Town and the glitches, before the Keyblade War even. Did he come from one of the worlds being portrayed? (I don’t think so but it’s a thought) Judging by Player’s reaction they have no clue what the hell Ephemer is talking about (to quote the novel “It was the part about the world being holograms that had you stumped”) so where holograms even a piece of technology that was common knowledge? What evidence did Ephemer have to even make that claim?
Like I don’t care wether or not he was right (though for his sake I’ll say he was half right, it was just data, not holograms [which I think is further evidence for my whole no one knows about computers headcannon]), how the hell did he come to that conclusion? What happened to him that made him figure that out?

BUMP OF CHICKEN - 「Aurora」
もうきっと多分大丈夫
どこが痛いか分かったからね
自分で涙拾えたら いつか魔法に変えられる
i'm sure everything's gonna be okay
'cause you realized where it hurts, right?
if you can gather up your tears, they'll transform into magic someday
ほんの少し忘れていたね
とても長かった ほんの少し
お日様がない時は
クレヨンで世界に創り出したでしょう
you just forgot for a little while, is all
for a really long little while
on that dark, dark day
didn't you use your crayons to dream up the sun into the sky?
正義の味方には見つけて貰えなかった類
探しに行かなくちゃ
呼び合い続けた あの声だよ
even though your knight in shining armor never came
you still gotta go look for
that voice that always called out to you
溜め息にもなれなかった
名前さえ持たない思いが
心の一番奥の方 爪を立てて
堪えていたんだ
触れて確かめられたら
形と音が分かるよ
伝えたい言葉はいつだって
そうやって見つけてきた
those nameless thoughts
that couldn't even muster themselves into a sigh
they lay deep in your heart, lashing out around them
and they waited
if you can reach out and touch them
then you'll understand just what they are
that's how you always end up finding
the words to say what you want to say
振り返れば途切れずに
歪な線を描く足跡
悲しいくらい分かりやすく
いつもここに向けて伸びる
if you look back, you'll see the the footprints you left behind
still in that unbroken, crooked line
it's sad, how easy it is to understand
that they'll always be there, heading towards today
大切にするのは下手でも
大切だって事は分かっている
せめてその白い手紙が 正しく届きますように
i'm not good at treasuring things
but i know this is important to you
i hope at least your letter will get to where it needs to go
考え��ぎじゃないよ
そういう闇の中にいて
勇気の眼差しで 次の足場を探しているだけ
you're not overthinking it
when you're in that dark place
all you're doing is being brave
and looking for the next step to take
解き放て あなたの声で
光る羽根与えた思いを
その足が向かうべき先へ
そうしなきゃ見えなかった未来へ
諦めなかった事を 誰よりも知っているのは
羽ばたいた言葉のひとつひとつ
必ず届きますように
your voice gave all those thoughts and feelings you kept bottled up inside their shining wings
now it's time to set them free
and for you to go down the path you're meant to take -
to that future you've never been able to see before
each and every one of your words knows better than anyone else that you didn't give up
now look as they take wing
i pray they'll reach where they need to go
もう一度 もう一度
クレヨンで 好きなよう��
もう一度 さあどうぞ
好きな色で 透明に (Aah)
もう一度 もう一度
クレヨンで この世界に
今こそ さあどうぞ 魔法に変えられる
one more time, just one more time
pick up that crayon, and draw whatever you want
just once more, go ahead
use any color you like, that transparent sky is your canvass
once more, just once more
make the world what you want it to be
now's your chance, so go ahead. it'll transform into magic
ああ、なぜ、どうして、と繰り返して
それでも続けてきただろう
心の一番奥の方 涙は炎 向き合う時が来た
触れて確かめられたら 形と音をくれるよ
あなたの言葉がいつだって あなたを探してきた
そうやって見つけてきた
you kept on asking yourself, "why? just why?"
but still you kept on going, didn't you?
in the deepest depths of your heart
your tears burst into flame
and now it's time for you to face them head on
if you can reach out and touch them, then you'll understand just who you are
your words have always been looking for you
and that's how they found you
もう一度 もう一度
クレヨンで 好きなように
もう一度 さあどうぞ
好きな色で 透明に (Aah)
もう一度 もう一度
クレヨンで この世界に
今こそ さあどうぞ 魔法に変えられる
one more time, just one more time
pick up that crayon, and draw whatever you want
just once more, go ahead
use any color you like, that transparent sky is your canvass
once more, just once more
make the world what you want it to be
now's your chance, so go ahead. it'll transform into magic

ShinKami headcanons?
thank you for waiting, legend!!! i haven’t written headcanons in so long tbh so i hope these are alright <333
also, do we prefer the regular tumblr bolded list dots for headcanons, or when they look like this:
---
- I’m not sure where to begin... so please pardon how this starts LOL
- Shinso + Denki are honestly great in a throuple because they literally never, and I mean NEVER, make you feel left out. Whether you start the relationship with them or join after they’re already together... there’s never a moment when you’re not included in whatever their needs/wants are... or need to feel like that’s so.
- If they talk about needing to cuddle, going somewhere, getting dinner... you better assume you’re included + respond enthusiastically or they’re gonna pester you about it. To no end. There is no “Denki + Shinso time together without y/n...” it’s all three of you or BUST
- You’re like: “aw okay have fun together” in a text about something and they both nearly call off work b/c they’re so upset you thought you weren’t part of it (you get like forty texts about it and at least five phone calls). Same w/ cuddling. You don’t catch the hint they want you there... then they’re literally DRAGGING you to bed.
- And If there’s a party and you don’t want to go for some reason, they’re not going either. Could be fully ass dressed and ready to leave and everything, but if you express hesitation the jackets are coming right off.
- In fact, they probably end up a lot more annoyed at each other without you. It’s not really noticeable to someone who doesn’t know them, or even all that common normally... but if you happen to ignore them for some reason, purposefully or not, there’s like a 75% chance Shin + Denks will end up at each other’s throats for some reason or another (though it’s really just sadness in disguise).
- And you’re probably the only person they listen to in arguments + can get them to stop bickering. Not even Bakugo has shit on you tbh, when it comes to one word being enough to make them be quiet.
- You get home late from work one night (on a night neither of them are on patrol)... and there’s a full ass canyon between them on the bed and they have grumpy faces on even in their sleep.
- That’s another thing, though... it’s great if you’re like this, too... terrible if/when you need to go somewhere........... but they’re always gonna do the most when it comes to cuddling you. “y/n” more like Shin + Denks’ joint teddy bear they have to share, every single night.
- Except it’s not like... normal ass spooning... it’s like, Shinso’s armpit over your forehead and Denki clinging to your belly. Or Shinso’s arm around your neck and Denki’s leg over both your thighs...
- Which is funny because they’re actually really horrible sleepers (we knew this, though)... so this all ends up occurring at like... 4am when everyone is finally tired enough to stop moving. Otherwise, there’s normally at least one of them awake at all times, even if they’re in bed.
- And I’ve said this before but... Shinso watches TV on his phone in bed when he can’t sleep....... and now that I think about it, Denki does, too........ so sometimes you’ll just randomly wake up in the middle of the night to find both of them sharing earbuds, eating a snack and watching something on a tiny ass phone screen that’s held literally right above your head. Get them some help.
- LMAOOOO and they’re so bad at eating. Not just because they literally always forget to and are bad at cooking (so they just end up eating junk), but because... they consistently eat off of your plate. Every single meal. Like, at this point... you should just stop setting the table because they don’t even want their own food.
- It sorta makes a little sense because you often don’t get mealtime together because of their work schedules, so yeah, sharing is nice........... but it’s still like ??? whenever one of them is getting ready for work and literally yoinks your half eaten piece of toast right out of your hands and leaves with it.
- (You might be like, “Caitie, they both do that?” Yes.) They honestly have jealousy problems, too. If Denki gets your half your sandwich in the morning, Shinso is absolutely complaining about how rude that is....... and then trying to finish half of your lunch. There is no meal where you are ever fully left alone. They’re just lucky they get paid hella good so cooking/ordering in abundance is not really a problem anymore (and making all your dinners family style is pretty easy).
- Same with spending time with each other, too. Denki is more babyish about it than Shinso, but if one catches the other cuddling without them... they’re throwing a whole fit. Denki getting all whiney about how “Shinso always get the front!!” or Shinso trying to hit Denki w/ a pillow for taking up “too much of” you. Or even pinching and tickling at you for always “getting everything.”
- But literally... you should probably just start saying no to cuddling at this point, and esp. if you plan on trying to get anything done after, cuz spoiler alert: you won’t, and never will (cuz then they’re mad at you for leaving them and finally teaming up to mildly guilt you).
- Which like... what do these boys even want at this point😭😭😭 (gotta love them, though).
