(this is for the divine twitch chat au my beloved)
captain marvel, at 3am: *preparing a goat for an ancient sacrificial ritual in the watchtower kitchen*
jl member of choice who just wanted a quick break from watchtower duty: hey uhh.. cap? buddy? whatcha.. what are you uh doing there?
cap, basically hissing: the voices, they’re winning
queue misunderstandings and rumours spread among the heroes
This ask had me cackling like a mad man ever since I got it, omg 😂😂😂
There's some hilarity in Billy holding a goat 🐐 like the Billy goat, hahahahaha
This is both hilarious and horrifying, bc if a JL member saw that, it'd be an immediate report to HR or batman. Does the JL even have a HR? Oh man
Also
Memes!
The divine twitch chat AU certainly is expanding and I am here for it!
Also, I hope that goat ends up being safe in the end and getting taken care of By Damian.

Wyatt: I feel like this place is tainted now, like we need to open all the windows and just…
[Wyatt wafted his hands as though he could dismiss Kian’s lingering presence as easily as the wind displaced sand]
Brynn: You forget soon enough.
Wyatt: I need some air, you coming?
Brynn: Tch, like I can run anywhere-.. I am huge sea creature.
Wyatt: A whale?
Brynn: Oh, you dig your own grave-.. I stab you whilst you sleep!
[Wyatt chuckled as Brynn smacked him upside the head, only somewhat gently]
Wyatt: I don’t doubt it. Remind me to hide the knives when I get back…
…
Darien: But it was cathartic, right?
Wyatt: Hm.. you orchestrated this on purpose, didn’t you?
Darien: I’ve no idea what you’re talking about-.. enlighten me.
Wyatt: Well, let’s just say that I’m certainly less likely to regret not reaching out.
Darien: Ah.. so, it worked?
Wyatt: You’re a shrewd man, Mr. Moore.
Darien: Why, thank you!
Wyatt: So, when’re you going to visit again?
Darien: Ohh, I don’t know-.. I figured I’d let your anger dissipate a little first, I like my neck un-strangled thank you.
Wyatt: Ha-ha.
Darien: Really though, it’ll be nice not having to wonder.
Wyatt: It must be exhausting, being right all the time.
Darien: Nope! Speaking of-.. reckon he’ll wind up on Kaden’s doorstep next?
Wyatt: Probably. He doesn’t know what to do unless someone’s telling him.
Darien: Mhm, prison won’t have helped matters-.. do this, shit there, suck that, bend over.

i gotta say, going to your first day of school in a new town, bravely taking a seat in an overwhelmingly busy classroom, being confronted with a girl SO pretty you almost tumblr off the chair you're sitting on completely normally (but don't, because she catches you) and then fainting, waking up on top of a table surrounded by classmates staring at you, and eventually fleeing because the girl is STILL so pretty she makes you hiccup and you accidentally said that out loud, is, like. both a minor nightmare and something for legends only. ongsa, i see you going places, and i don't just mean the bathroom to hide and scream!!

I feel like for the first few years of guardianship Darius and Hunter really struggle to figure out how to refer to each other.
Like it's easier for Hunter, he pretty quickly settles on "guardian" for explaining their relationship to other people and just referring to Darius by name when talking to the man himself. Overtime the phrasing gradually warms, becoming "foster parent" and eventually, once Hunter's already an adult old enough to move out, "Dad".
(Sidenote: he doesn't move out til he's in his mid to late twenties, bc he's under no obligation too, Darius low-key doesn't want him too, and the two of them want to make up for lost time in a sense, since Hunter only had 2 years of legal dependency on Darius before aging out of the system. Darius adopts Hunter retroactively as an adult)
Darius on the other hand has a real conundrum on his hands for those first few years. He has a lot of options! But "ward" is too formal and makes it sound like Darius picked him up off the street like after his parents were murdered, "apprentice/student" isn't really accurate considering the focus of Darius and Hunter's relationship has less to do with Hunter learning magic and more to do with Hunter being housed and fed. "Kid" and "foster son" are there...but...
Look, Darius isn't going to refer to Hunter more familiarly than Hunter refers to him! He's not gonna make it WEIRD. He's not a dad, because Hunter doesn't want/need him to be (and also parenthood is scary <3). Darius doesn't know the first thing about being a dad, despite how his friend group teases him.
Eda and Eberwolf are the two who are worst about it. They torture him with how 'fatherly' he's allegedly being (allegations Darius will DENY til his GRAVE!!!) And Eda specifically compares his journey to hers, saying it always starts off with you referring to them as your apprentice (again, Darius doesn't plan on doing that), as your roommate (...kinda weird in Darius' opinion? But okay Eda), or even your pet (????HELLO???). But eventually, they always become your dumb kid when you least expect it.
She's had a couple cups of appleblood by this point, but Darius knows on some level she's right and he's steadfastly ignoring that fact, even as Eber continues to refer to Hunter as his "cub" (kinda cute but Darius doesn't know how Hunter would feel being compared to an animal). The only people who are even remotely reasonable about all this (besides Lilith who's a bit disinterested in kid talk) is Raine and Alador, who both sort of neutrally, a bit awkwardly refer to Hunter as Darius' Boy.
Darius referring to Hunter as "my boy" is funnily enough what sticks the longest before it evolves to son boy. Hunter's crushing it at a derby match? Darius is whooping and cheering, yelling "THAT'S MY BOY!!!" At the other parents in the stands. Hunter is doing something dangerous or inadvisable where others can see him? "Darius, your boy-" "AHH! MY BOY". Hunter, a year into his stay with Darius finally comes clean about everything to do with him being a grimwalker, and is afraid that he's going to go back to seeing him as just an inferior replacement for Darius' beloved mentor? Darius (who has just had to process some of the most bonkers, emotionally heavy information in his life) gently, hesitantly puts a hand on his shoulder (the 'good' one Hunter doesn't mind people touching), and says that Hunter's much more than that. He's Darius' Boy and he's not going to kick him out or get angry or love him any less for things out of his control. It's good. They're good.
Like I said, it evolves over time and 'boy' becomes somewhat obsolete as the two get caught up in the joy of finally feeling able to explicitly refer to each other as family. But unlike "guardian" or "ward" the word never gets fully retired. Even when Hunter is 30 and is arguing that he's more of a man than a boy now, he is still getting referred to by Darius as "his boy", the way some parents never really stop calling their adult kids baby or kiddo (Camila and Eda respectively btw).
Hunter makes one of those corny matching shirt sets at some point for a father's Day gift when he's 17/18, where the two shirts say "if lost, return Boy to me" (Darius) and "I'm Boy" (Hunter). Hunter mostly did it so he could own a funny shirt that says "I'm boy". Darius openly weeps upon seeing them. Like Oh my Titan he's boy. He's my boy. Oh wow
