You're right, cap, you're right
Not to be obnoxious, but like, I always say this! First, to get this out of the way, the only one I might argue on is Kamala, just because I'm pretty sure there have been team ups and stuff, but also because the young avengers each stand for someone who has lost something. Nate feels like he's going to lose his future, his choice. He stands for people who are shoved in a box and left to rot. Cassie is for those who have lost their tether, who need to climb away from their pain. Kate is for the people who feel like they don't have tge right to feel this way, who feel wrong about their pain. Eli stands for those wronged by rascism, and Kamala could fit there, because unfortunately there are people who ignore that rascism is a lot more than just being mean to black people. Billy and Teddy are those who feel like who they love is wrong, and personally I feel like tommy represents people with mental health struggles that most overlook, such as ADHD. Even Vision 2.0, he represents the people living in a shadow, expected to be someone/thing they're not. They're also teenagers. They're YOUNG. They were there to remind everyone that we struggle too, that pain can take many forms and to believe in the kids. Yelena is a fully grown adult. Peter, while he starts at 17, is about a good 5-7 years older than the original team when they first start out. I don't know enough about Harley to point anything specific out, but riri, she's part of her own group, doing their own thing to help young readers feel comfortable. Let different teams be different and let each hero be one in their own respective right. Everything these characters do shapes us, but we need to respect where they fit in, and what the catagories we want them to fill actually mean and do for the people who read these and connect, who find a little bit of themselves on those pages. Billy eas the first Jewish Queer character I had seen, and i felt seen. And when I first read Ms. Marvel, I saw a young girl about my age struggling with the same mental health struggles and persevering. These characters are special each in their own right, don't take that away by doing the very thing all of them fight against, don't stick them in a box they don't fit in. Let them thrive, and let them stay special ♥️
MCU Young Avengers blogs are why I'm heterophobic actually

the wretched abomination known as the minotaur has discovered some chalk
This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.
I've gotten to a point where I know my two best friends like me, it'd be like impossible to not know that at this point with all they've stuck with me through. but now I have this fun new insecurity called "I don't deserve them liking me"
May the fourth be with all those who honor it 😋

people don't talk enough about how fucking funny it is that bruce can sub in his kids as batman when he's too busy. like can you imagine it from the league's perspective? imagine you have this really mysterious, geniusly scary guy that you know next to nothing about, never cracks a smile and yet always comes out on top, and one day he shows up to a league meeting and there's just something... off. about him.
you can't pin it down because he's literally acting exactly the same as usual and there's no reason to think there's anything wrong, but maybe he shifted in his seat one to many times, or he looked just a tad bit too bored during green lantern's case review, but something's just... odd. so you quietly ask superman after the meeting if anything's up with the bat bcs you know those two are closer and also clark can hear heartbeats so if something's wrong surely he'll pick it up? and without hesitation he leans over to you and mumbles 'yeah batman was busy, that's his 17 yr old son. he's a crime lord and kills people sometimes though so we're not allowed to let him into the weapons department.' and then walks away like it's normal.
like the whiplash the league must go through every time they realise that no, this is not their fearless dark and brooding leader, this is in fact one of his dipshit kids being forced to sub in bcs the real batman broke an ankle, is incredible.
wonder woman: so that's my proposed plan, what are your thoughts batman?
batman: hn. i think that- *voice raising two octaves* oh shit hold on my phones buzzing
the league:
batman, answering the phone and immediately dropping the Bat Posture™: what do you mean- aw come on little wing that's not fair! but- no, NO DON'T YOU DARE TELL ALFRED I'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU- IM SORRY OK I'LL BUY YOU MORE- *catches sight of the league watching him, baffled* *stiffens* ok listen i promise to replace them but i gotta go, please show me mercy iloveyoubye *hangs up*
the league:
batman:
batman: *coughs awkwardly*
superman: *sighs*
batman, to superman: ...red hood found out i ate his chocolate pretzels-
superman, shaking his head: just... just stop.
the flash: so this isn't batman either, is it?
wonder woman: if this one's also a criminal im losing my mind.
superman, tiredly: no no, this one isn't a criminal. this one's actually a cop.
batman: *sinks down in his seat* b's gonna kill me
green lantern, mystified: where does he keep GETTING you all from!?
'batman' dick, who made a pact with jason to Always Fuck With Bruce Whenever The Opportunity Arises: batman is a whore.
they think they've finally sussed out all 2 of batman's kids and then one day during a meeting 'batman' ends up on a 30 minute rant about different hacking methods this tech villain could be using that results in him half way through a sentence breaking off to say '-oh uncle clark could you pass me that pen- thanks, anyway so-' and then five minutes after that when the league have all been exchanging incredulous looks he finally freezes and is like. SHIT.
wonder woman: you're different from the other two, aren't you?
batman: maybe i am maybe i'm not, you can't prove it.
wonder woman:
green lantern: so like, are you new or have you just managed to avoid sub duty up until now?
superman, coughing: actually, this is this ones ninth occasion of replacing batman. you've just never realised before.
the league:
batman: yeah actually the other two are kinda mad i lasted longer than them...
the flash: how the fuck does he keep getting kids with the exact same build as him!??!?
'batman' tim, spent 20 minutes padding the suit out so he would look the part, still mad that bruce keeps palming WE work off on him: oh he forces us to take steroids for it.
the league, concerned:
superman, pinching the bridge of his nose: now come on red robin-
batman, fully tearing up and looking distraught: PLEASE uncle clark, it HURTS, you can't keep COVERING FOR HIM!
superman, frantically to the league: this one lies.
bonus
the league, squinting at batman:
the league: ...
superman: *head in his hands, too disappointed to do anything*
the league: *silently exchanging looks, wondering if anybody's brave enough to say anything*
duke as batman, fully aware this is fucking stupid but jason and tim fell on the floor laughing when dick came up with the idea and frankly, he wanted to see if anybody would have to guts to call him out: so, are we all ready to start the meeting?
I have officially decided that I am going to rewrite Frankenstein as an amazing YouTube movie titled Vicky F and Creepy C
My friends will star in it, I will be the screen writer... It's going to be a hot mess!!! :] can't wait to start filming, all I have to do now is... Well, write the script!
That feeling when you're surrounded by people you're not sure actually like you and you say something random and basic and they get like obsessed and start kinda laughing like you missed a joke but they're still being nice so you really can't tell if they're being nice or not...
just your friendly neighborhood gremlin probably won't post too much, just because I don't really know what I have to offer to the platform. my goal is to be as chaotic and funny as possible, while still spreading knowledge about my special interests. Said interests include, but are not limited to: The Scarlet Witch, Young Avengers, Keeper of the Lost Cities, words, etymology, random knowledge that I don't know what to do with, wonder woman, Hellenistic Polytheism, writing, art, and other things that relate to the above topics please message me if you have any questions about the above topics, or wish to be friends! 😃❤️ thanks, Seraphina ❤️
