My DC AU+ Headcanons' memes #3

part 1, part2 part 4

Here I am once again making memes of my Always!AU while I still can't find the willpower to write an actual fic.

You should do a tweet about Mr. Mind!! I think it’s really funny how one of his oldest nemesis is a caterpillar 🤸

Early Fish Gets the Caterpillar

I refuse to call Mary “Mary Marvel” or “Shazam” so I’m just gonna call her Mrs Marvel lol

Scenario where Mr. Mind forgets his voice amplifier and when he stands in front of Billy about to monologue, Billy doesn’t notice him and just steps on Mr. Mind, killing him.

So like a few months later, Billy’s just wondering if Mr. Mind retired cause he hasn’t shown up recently.

[im-not-buying-it-ether]

Billy has 2 dads, a mom, a nemesis that's kinda an uncle to him and kinda a brother to him, a best friend that's a brother to him, a fraudulent uncle, a tiger that's his best friend, a long-lost twin sister that is his best friend, a boss that's like a grandpa to him, and a alter ego thats like an older brother to him. Then theres his kinda dads kids that are kinda his magic siblings, and one of them is kinda his cousins magical mom after making a deal with his half uncle.

It's really not that complicated.

When Billy has nightmares, they sort of bleed into the real world. Like his magic is so potent that it works even when he’s asleep. Magic is heavily reliant on what the magician wants, so you an imagine how strong it is when paired with scary shit that Billy’s scene.

Imagine walking to work and seeing a giant old man who waves his cane around and calls you a stupid orphan and chases you until you arrive at work.

Or you’re in the part and suddenly there’s a giant caterpillar in your face asking you why you ate its siblings(goes with that one post where the marvels pretend they just…slaughtered all of Mr. Mind’s siblings).

Or the ground just…splits open and turns over and suddenly you’re in a place that looks like Hell(it’s actually the Monsterlands but idk if a Fawcett citizen knows about that).

How would you have the characters *change* over time?

When working with a story where the characters age over a decade or three, it becomes important to think how the characters change over time. Especially younger characters who haven't reached adulthood yet. But even the adults. Especially since I'm starting in 1940, and the time period in question has so much change. And change that we're far enough away from now to see in hindsight - when it happens gradually, people don't always realize it as it happens.

Some of these are moral or political issues where it might be tempting for every hero to have the "right" (whatever author believes is best) opinion from the start. And some might well do so. But all of them on every issue? Unions, communism, civil rights, interstates, redlining, gender roles, juvenile delinquency, divorce, the Korean War, beatniks, protests, Vietnam, etc. And there's something to be said for heroes who get exposed to new information and change their minds or who change as the world changes. Now, not everyone has to think about big issues everyday - most are busy living their lives and fighting supervillains. But Billy's job as a journalist does demand that he do so, IMO, and I think Alan's connection to intelligence work and spycraft means he should think about espionage and external political aspects.

Then there are the societal changes that have less moral weight to them - some that are frivolous and some that seem so, but have actual import. What are opinions on whether television rots the brain, rock and roll, on the casualization of fashion for men (in the immediate post-war era), suburbanization, change in dating culture, earlier marriage ages, shift to more white collar word throughout the 1950s? I'm not really sure most would really think about any of those, but some might. Maybe they aren't putting moral weight to to men wearing sweaters instead of suits - but how many follow that trend v. keeping the old ways. Who listens to big band v doo wop v mainstream pop...especially as the last of the old really fades from popularity in the 60s? How do they feel about their daughters wearing miniskirts (I guess Mary really can't complain) and their sons growing beards and wearing their hair long in college? Or changed sexual mores(for women, anyway)? By the 70s, of course, everyone's settled into the new aesthetic, even if they don't al prefer it.

Have there been any interactions between the Billy Batson account and the Captain Marvel account? If so I wonder the reactions of the rest of the Marvel Family XD

Loser (PM7)

Let’s politely ignore that Billy has the same color scheme.

Giving you a long one today, maybe the longest I’ve ever made! I think I only have one more post to make before I can switch to the new and much easier to use app where I’ll hopefully be able to make more long ones like this! I’m hoping to start posting on Saturdays as often as possible now that I don’t have do everything by hand anymore!

Barbara finally cashed in the favour to make Captain Marvel wear silly clothes, carry her around town like a princess, and just hangout and relax all day.

She knows he's a workaholic and that being forced to actually take a break for once would kill him. She treated him to ice cream and they relaxed at the beach for a while until the paparazzi spotted them. Dating rumours started immediately and the bats chased him out of Gotham at the end of the day because he's not good enough for her. Barbara also blackmailed some of them into doing this (Robin and Red Hood) but some did it just for the fun of it (Nightwing and Batman thoroughly enjoyed this. No one knows why Red Robin joined and he refuses to tell.).

Also I love when heros have internet beef with their secret identity lol. Mary and Freddy will also gladly take any opportunity to make fun of their brother

(I wonder if anyone has noticed the - *gets shot in the head*)

Unrelated but important:

This is an AU. I’m trying to make everything as accurate as possible but I don’t know all the characters very well so they will be OOC often. If you don’t like that, please keep scrolling or block me.

If I ever make a mistake or make a character do/say something they never would, please politely tell me in the comments. I always really appreciate constructive criticism! However, I will never tolerate people being unnecessarily rude or snarky instead of trying to help and you will be blocked if you do.

Thank you, and I really appreciate how amazing you all have been to me! I’m very grateful for all the amazing and kind asks I’ve been sent and seeing you all enjoy these always makes my day!

Billy and Mister Scarlet

So, I was reading on the wiki for Mister Scarlet and apparently, he’s broke. Or at least he put himself out of a job. As a result, he has to work odd jobs. You know who also works odd jobs because he’s broke? Billy. Let’s just say they run into each other every now and then when the two happen to both help sweep a certain diner, or run delivers for a local ma and pop shop.

Billy: “Heya, Mister Butler.” *little wave as he picks up some food he needs to deliver*

Brian: “Hello, Billy.” *also picking up some food he needs to deliver*

Billy: “How’s your kid?”

Brian: “He’s doing good.”

And let me tell you right now I think Mister Scarlet, or Brian, cause that’s his name, would want to adopt Billy so badly, but, you know, he’s not in the best financial situation not only that but he has a kid of his own already. The man prays every that odd job he takes, Billy will be there so he can check up on the kid. Because I mean, Billy is such a sweetie. He’s such a cutie patootie and he’s so nice. He doesn’t deserve anything that he went through, and as much as he wants to call CPS, Billy explicitly told him not to. Billy told him this one day when they were unloading boxes, or rather Brian was unloading boxes and Billy was checking them off on a clipboard.

Brian: “I’m just saying, maybe the next home could be better.” *unloads a box from a truck*

Billy: “I’ve thought that too. Multiple times. I don’t ever wanna go to another home again. I’m better off on the streets. *checks something on the clipboard*

Brian: “But you’re not.”

Billy: “But I am.” *says with a little more annoyance in his tone than he’d like. He then realizes this and feels bad* “I’m sorry. I just don’t want to go back. I don’t want a repeat of the last five ones.”

Brian: *sighs* “I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have pushed you.”

This incident just made him want to adopt Billy more. Then, during all of this, there was his vigilante life as Mister Scarlet. He’d met the hero Captain Marvel a few times now. The man seems friendly. Or at least he seemed friendly

It all started when the two had briefly teamed up to take down a villain.

Marvel: *staring at Mister Scarlet, looking confused*

Mister Scarlet: “What? What is it?”

Marvel: *puts hands on hips* “Well, it’s nothing really. It’s just that every time we meet, I can’t help but think you’re familiar.”

Mister Scarlet: “I don’t feel that at all.”

Marvel: “You don’t, but I do.” *stares for a few seconds* “Mister Butler…?”

Mister Scarlet: *has an almost-heart attack* “Wha? How do you?”

Marvel: “I’m Billyyyssss… uncle. Billy’s uncle.”

Solomon: “Nice save there, champ.”

Mister Scarlet: “Billy’s uncle…?” *remembers the one time Billy opened up to him about how his uncle was the reason he lived on the streets* “You… You bastard!”

Marvel: “What!?”

Mister Scarlet: “Billy! He told me about you! You scummy scum! That kid isn’t in school, working at the ripe age of 10! All because of you!”

Marvel: *hits Billy like a train when he remembers that he told Brian about the whole Ebenezer thing* “Uhm… he’s 12.” *mumbles*

Mister Scarlet: “Like that’s any better! How dare you! How dare you go and pretend to be a hero when you kicked that poor kid to streets?! What is wrong with you?!”

Marvel: *just stands there and takes the verbal lashing because he can’t really say anything without being outed as a liar*

Oh!

OH!!!

Hello best Tawky Tawny design!?!?!

He looks like a fusion between vintage Hannah Barbera and classic dot-eye C. C. Beck, kinda Georges Remi. Such an excellent direction for the tone and vibe of a Scoob meets Shazam set up. I love the decision to base him off of his classic Fawcett design, but with tight, clean, Hannah Barbera bubbly proportions and linework, while keeping him distinct by avoiding the Hannah Barbera cat muzzle / jawline.

Much much much better move than contemporary comics' preference for just making him an expensive fursona commission - which I also like, of course, but resisting that urge for this specific assignment was such a solid choice.
