eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

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.

Kind of want to write an academic AU. Do I know for what ship/fandom? Nope. Do I have any plot besides mundane suffering and/or disturbingly specific catharsis for me? I do not. Have I written fic in ages? I have not. And yet. Here we are.

I think the only thing that annoys me about dca's youtooz plushies is their bells.
Not the sound tho! But when cuddling them. If they're not under the blanket before you cuddle them the metal of the bells gets cold and unpleasant to touch when you're all cozy. It's so uncool and not romantic at all bitch take them off >:'(

My brother, by being an overall nuisance for 2 weeks straight, got me to try playing Warframe. And ok yeah, I'm getting some strong Prototype vibes from the movement- this is unbelievably fun, even when I keep running into walls like a drunk fly.
But this just made me think of how crazy Warframe must look from non-Tenno perspective. You're chilling in your base, minding your business, when a shiny sparkly blur NYYYYOOOOOMS across the room, killing some of your coworkers but totally ignoring you because you were a bit too far to the side to bother, the alarm starts blaring, everyone is shouting, you run after the invader- oh, but they're gone. Where did they go? They're so damn shiny, how could you lose someone so shiny in the middle of your base?? You stand in the middle of the room, with the other coworkers, looking around for any signs of the thing, and then there's only about 1,5 seconds between you noticing a shiny thing flying across the far side of the hangar and your head exploding.
Anyway play Warframe, this shit rules.
