what kind of bug do yall think he found
When a black character is rightfully upset to William who is, as far as he is concerned, is sneakily having some affair with Tanya, then being a snarky, vague asshole who won't tell him where his missing girlfriend is, it's "bullying", and being mean...
But when a white character that makes fun of William's facial expressions to his face multiple times, lashes out at him for that same thing... suddenly the relationship is given complexity and nuance... suddenly, it's interesting...
I just think it's always a little strange when people do the mental gymnastics to find reasons to dislike seeing character interactions that just so happen to involve a black character when it's obvious that the other white characters are not held to the same standards.
I'm not trying to single out any particular person here, because the truth is that this happens in basically every fandom I've ever been in with a black character. People find weird ways to explain away their discomfort with interracial relationships in ways that clearly wouldn't bother them if it happened between two white people. Like, be honest with yourself here. Why does it really bother you?
Are you alright, honey? You've barely put your blorbo in situations
Truly nothing brings me more unfiltered wrath then this
The worst thing in the entire world is when you’re sweeping a big pile of dirt into a dustpan and it leaves that little coke line of grit behind. No matter how you position your pan or your broom and no matter how many times you sweep over it your outcome cannot change. As immovable as fate. I hate it so
in which a sphere regrets teaching a square how to write
The amount of stress I would live with daily if this was my bed would be astronomical.
GOOD MORNING LIFE 🌲🌴🌿☀️

Thavma and Billy have been separated for about two weeks now.
Without Billy, Thavma is simply the Living Lightning. Sure it’s alive, but it doesn’t have morals, opinions, none of that. Instead, all of that is shaped by its host. So, without Billy, Thavma doesn’t really care for anything.
Though, that doesn’t stop it from trying to care about the stuff Billy does.
Thavma: *standing outside of a burning building*
Mother: “My baby! My baby is still inside!”
Thavma: *closes its eyes and takes the biggest breath, sounding so done because he does not want to help*
Baby: *wailing*
Thavma: *floats into the building to save the baby and anyone else with an annoyed expression*
To be honest, all Thavma wants to do is protect the Rock. And Billy. But mostly the Rock. The reason for this is because of the fact The Living Lightning was solely made to protect the center of Magic. It does not care for saving people, but it does care about eliminating threats to the Rock, which most of Billy’s villains are. If that ends up helping anyone but the Rock, that was an extra bonus.
Speaking of villains, like stated earlier, a few of them are threats to Magic. Such as Black Adam. In Thavma’s mind, that means he automatically has to be eliminated. No mercy.
That’s how Black Adam was greeted with the Champion actually trying to kill him and almost succeeding. He’s never seen the man so bloodlusted and silent during a fight before. He’s also never seen the man use the full extent of his abilities. In other words, Thavma is much more in tune with its own strengths and weaknesses and was whooping Black Adam’s ass with extreme efficiency. This is because while Thavma doesn’t have any morals and such, he still has memories from previous champions, and although they had different gods as patrons, their strengths and speed and all that were the same.
In short, this was a guy with about 5000 years of experience fighting a guy with over 100,000.
Anyways, the fight got so bad that the JL pulled up as Thavma was literally about to force Black Adam to say Shazam with MIND CONTROL MAGIC that neither Adam nor the JL have ever seen him use before.
Supes: *sounds disturbed* “Since when can you do mind control??”
Thavma: *looks over to them with a judgmental eyebrow raise cause why’re Billy’s little friends here*
Batman: “Captain, please step away from Black Adam.”
Thavma: *torn between protecting the Rock and not wanting to mess up Billy and the JL’s friendships*
Thavma eventually decided that when Billy became his host again, the boy might be upset about losing these people. The boy being upset could affect his ability to protect the Rock in the future and so he reluctantly stepped away from Adam.
Thavma: *steps away but does a little annoyed sigh reminiscent of a moody teenager*
Black Adam: *flies away, glancing over his shoulder every now and then*
Flash: *zooms over* ”Cap, buddy, what was that?”
Thavma: *really doesn’t want to talk to these guys at all* “Nothing. I must take my leave now. Good day.” *tries to speed walk away*
Flash: *wondering why he’s talking like that* “Dude, wait up!”
JL: *all follow after him kinda like ducklings*
Thavma honestly didn’t know how his host put up with these mortals. They ask so many questions.
GL: “Cap, you haven’t shown up to the last few meetings. What’s up with that?”
Thavma: “I forgot.”
Supes: “Forgot? I thought you never forgot things. You said something about the Wisdom of Solomon making it so that you couldn’t. Has something been making you that busy?
Thavma: “Yes.”
Wondy: “What is it? Some kind of villain?”
Thavma: “It’s nothing, and no.”
The “nothing” in question has just been it lounging around the Rock because that’s what it was made to do: protect the Rock. Being around it often is the easiest way to ensure that. The Champions not staying often was something Thavma always found idiotic. Why did they care about their villages or cities when their duty was to the Rock? At that thought, Thavma could only sigh and shake his head. Mortals.
