Mods note: Jesus christ. I got at least 6 different versions for the owl house fam. I've just choosen the one that includes the most people now. If you disagree, feel free to tell me.

Submissions are still open!

Shazamily:

They're a big foster family who all love each other SO so much, and Billy's arc from "you are not my family" to embracing them as his siblings and parents is THE best arc ever in a superhero movie

Clawthorne-Nocedas:

Camila has one daughter. Daughter wanders into Demon Realm and is immediately replaced by a shapeshifter who wants a safe haven. Shapeshifter is revealed and Camila loves her and lets her be herself. Daughter returns from the Demon Realm with four traumatized teenagers. This single mother tries to understand their culture, and keeps them under her roof and never asks anything of them except to pitch in around the house. Embraces them and loves them, despite the strain on her wallet. And helps her OG daughter embrace her deepest desire and become a witch.

So freaking adorable

I fucking love Luz and hunters sibling dynamic, they’re all so silly and precious and they make me want to cry, Eda and Camila are both such mother figures for Luz and I just BCHSJSHSIDHDUOSNDHD

unapologetically weird

one of them is literally a living house and he's possibly the funniest being alive

gay af, neurodivergent af, and as culturally diverse as it gets

character styles are adorable

actual exploration and resolution for daddy issues, alcoholism, etc

illegal activity encouraged, they're one step from being communist revolutionaries and literally would/do commit arson for each other

fantastic character development in learning how to take care of each other

perfect balance of "cool parent" vs "unfit parent" slippery slope (there may be gambling

exploration of found family within bio family and how those relationships evolve

ALEX HIRSCH DOES ALEX HIRSCH THINGS

massive extended family not fully listed here

THEY HAVE MERCH (both in universe and irl)

they don't try to do too much or be too perfect. They're all traumatized people with wild experiences but they're what each other needed at the time -did I mention they're super cute

THEYRE MISFITS. WEIRDOS. WHO HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER.

They are super cute and have all gone through enough trauma and deserve to just live their lives in peace.

saved the world with the found familyness

I need more fics where the JL witness Captain Marvel (Shazam) get angry for the first time.

Like that dude would be absolutely terrifying.

Imagine, JL are on the regular mission and suddenly it’s revealed that the villain has two kids tied up and gagged as hostages (Freddy and Mary)

And the JL don’t even get to react before lightning starts to crackle off of the Captain and his eyes are practically glowing. And this dude just starts absolutely TEARING through every defence almost as fast as the flash and with more strength than superman. And if it weren’t for his morals you know he’d kill the villain on the spot just for laying a finger on his family.

So JL are just standing still in shock as Captain Marvel’s rage turns off immediately as soon as he’s with those random kids, bonus points if he’s on the verge of tears of relief that they are okay.

[thebeefsteaktomato]

The idea for this comic is from here and by @billymarvel !!!

and here’s a bonus!

I love the trope where when characters have a double life they know others who are apart of both lives but neither of them are aware of this. cough cough billy and clark. I mean they are both reporters/involved with newspapers so i’m surprised they don’t have there secret identities interact more

Dad-Coded Billy

Consider, if Billy had been dad-coded even before he'd gotten his powers.

He's the eldest (he's 12) of the street kids.

He ends up gathering the Shazamily over time, either abandoned, lost or having run from home and he keeps them safe and out of CPS hands.

Eldest child syndrome (i.e. parentification) except he's done it to himself.

He tries so hard to keep them fed and clothed and with some semblance of a roof over their heads.

He buys clothes from the thrift store in bulk, gets coats sized for adults so they can bundle up more, steals leftovers and has them take turns at the local fridge to get them canned foods, fights off bullies and other people for the right to live in condemned buildings for them all.

The older kids had a couple years of school and he teaches them to read. They frequent the library a lot and use public toilets to wash up.

It isn't perfect, but they've survived this long.

The one that nearly broke the camel's back was Darla, a toddler (about 2ish?) who got really sick. Billy debating so hard on whether to willingly bring them to CPS if only to get her help because winter is closing in and he's SO scared she'll die.

But he PROMISED.

He ends up getting his powers when he ran into the subway after stealing from the local pharmacy.

Honestly he nearly refused because this kid has been in survival mode for so long and his entire focus is on keeping his family alive and possibly giving them a better life.

And then the Wizard promises him magic and spells to help them if he accepts the duty and like a man signing up for the army Billy agrees for their sake.

He's a little more closed off to the JL maybe? He has more regular hours compared to his Canon counterpart bc his focus is still on his family.

They call him big brother, but after he'd gotten even bigger, they accept the truth they'd always had subconsciously, that they actually consider Billy their dad.

Billy’s Expressions

There’s two things I can see for this.

For the first scenario, Billy barely goes out of his way to conceal his facial expressions when he’s transformed as Marvel. Like if someone even utters the word “cop”, he’ll make the most disgusted expression and look them up and down judgementally. He can’t even control it too. He just does it. It’s an instinctual reaction. Or like, one of his siblings does something good, and before he knows it, he has the proudest smile in the whole wide world. (It embarrasses them cause half the league thinks he’s their dad). Like, he also can’t be included in pranks cause his big ‘ol sunny, bright ass smile will give it away. Or whenever Flash or Green Lantern are doing something stupid during a league meeting, his face is red from trying his best not to laugh and trying, yet failing to keep a smile off his face. It aggravates Batman a lot too because one, it interrupts meetings, and two, for a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, how can he know so little about Marvel?

For the second scenario, Billy still isn’t good at controlling his expressions, but instead whenever he processes something, his face just goes blank leaving everyone wondering what he’s thinking. Like a new villain is telling him, either the hostages or the bomb. Then, his face goes completely blank and stone cold. The villain’s completely befuddled because why isn’t Marvel smiling? Captain Marvel isn’t smiling, oh my god. Is he angry? Can the Captain even get angry? But no, Billy’s just processing how he’s gonna do this without anyone, the villain included, getting hurt. Or like, let’s say Marvel just joined the Justice League, about three months in, everyone knows him as this happy go lucky guy who’s always either smiling or making other people smile. Then, Flash asks him to get drinks after work and Marvel’s smile fades almost immediately. That scared the speedster a little, meanwhile Billy’s wondering what drinks, if he was even free after work, and if he could do this without letting anyone know he’s a kid. Before Billy could even answer, Flash said never mind and sped off while wondering what he could’ve done to piss off the most smiley guy he knows.

I don’t think, as a fandom, we have utilitiesed the concept of immortal Alfred along side the Fawcett time bubble.

Now, I know for a fact that it canon Alfred is not immortal and has intact died, I also just don’t give a shit

I’m also fairly sure that time bubble fawcett has never been canon, and at the very least isn’t anymore, I still don’t care.

Just picture, Itty Bitty Billy Batson (orphan whos entire support system from when he was younger is just entirely gone) hears a familiar voice coming through Batman’s personal comms, and just kinda thinks,

Holy Shit that’s Uncle Al

Now he’s obviously very confused, last time he heard anything about his Uncle Al was approximately in like 1954, and he was around the same age as his parents who I imagine couldn’t be any younger than like 30. So how tf is he not brain dead and being fed through a tube by now? (I’m sure there are some very functional 90 year olds but like… what are the chances?)

I imagine that Billy would eventually figure out that Alfred works for the Wayne family in Gotham (I also imagine that he now vaguely know Batman’s identity but he’s also like 12 so why would he care?) and finds a way to get there as soon as possible.

I’m picturing just like, Tim or someone opening the door to this tiny little boy whos holding a box full of pictures and letters and is politely asking if he can ‘Speak with uncle-err, Mr Pennyworth?’

My Take On Evil Captain Marvel / Shazam / Shazamily

In an AU where all the heroes are villains, and all the villains are heroes, I like to think Captain Marvel is like the Poison Ivy but for the Magical Community.

So we all know Captain Marvel is the Champion of Magic, and as such he has duties, be it a hero or a villain. Now picture this:

Homeless Billy Batson, fresh out of being struck by a Magic Lighting, gets taken in by the magical community (be it the fae, a witches coven, magical creatures, or smt). He develops a love for the mystic realm and is thus more active as Champion. They have shown more love and kindness than any human ever has, and eventually sees himself as a magical being / well of magic more than he sees himself as human.

But then, tragedy, and he sees people hunting down members of his beloved community for the sole reason that they have magic. They see creatures under HIS domaine being captured and sold in the black market. He sees butchered remains and fur of his friends being hung as trophies.

So seeing as that there are NO magical protection laws, and knows deep down that Adults Cannot Be Trusted (if his time on the streets taught him anything, it’s that), he takes matters into his own hands.

He hunts the hunters for fun. He rips apart ANYONE who DARES hurt those under his protection. He destroys countries who normalises the destruction of the mystic. He sends plagues and lighting. Those so called ‘Heroes’ who try to stop him aren’t any better, for they stop him from doing his Duty as The Champion.

He gets noticed by a group of individuals who wish to recruit him (evil JL). He joins, not because he actually cares about their goals, but they promised to leave anything magic alone, and even help him take down his adversaries. Morality is something he has long given up on.

The Gods don’t care either. From their point of view, humanity has long forsaken them, and makes a point to destroy what they have created. Hecate is especially supportive, she created most of the magical creatures, of course she has a fondness for them.

Mary, Freddy, Tawny (who in this au might be a creature that Captain saved) and the rest of the Shazamily join in, as they too much prefer magic over humans. Maybe in this au, they were put into more abusive environments.

Fawcette becomes the center of the magical world, and is known as the most protected place if you are of the mystic.

It’s a shame that cursed Black Adam did not join them, his time trapped made him soft, and developed a fondness for people (it’s what his son would have wanted). And really, he ought to get over Kahndaq. Sure, they destroyed the country, but they had it coming! They were trapping a bunch of Gods!

Anyways, this is just me rambling. I might make a part 2 if the inspiration comes to me.

[chaoticallyfluffy]

When he realizes he’s the leader of the Shazamily, I’m pretty sure Captain Marvel canonically started panicking and trying really hard to be a good leader.

I think one of the things he would do in this time is make a swear jar when he notices his team being ‘unprofessional’.

Everyone hates it, but never more than him. He is the one to put the most money in and he ends up spending all his savings on the swear jar every day. He still keeps it though, because he feels like he has to stick to his decisions as a leader.

He starts using silly phrases instead while in his Captain Marvel form like ‘holy moly!’ and ‘oh geez!’. He is horrified when he realizes he accidentally conditioned himself to never swear in that form while the rest of the team just pays the fee when they swear then continue on with their lives.

At least he gets to keep the money in the jar, but when his siblings laugh at him every time he says some cheesy non-swear, he can’t help but think it’s not worth the cost.

[fandomfive39]

can someone mansplain the entire history of Billy Batson Captain Marvel, the Shazamily, and Fawcett City to me??? or at least like. . . the main parts

[the-brash-spud]

Billy fic idea where all the heroes and their close ones get kidnapped/transported, and after JL frees itself, there is the questions of where's Marvel and who the hell is that random family - and is that a tiger? Anyway, the Vasquez family tries to play dumb but they're too casual around heroes and other weird stuff.

Idk where the story would go from there, but I can imagine Billy lying his ass off the next time he sees the Leage like "Oh, yeah, they. Eeeeemmmm. I kinda time travelled? Like I'm from the future. Yeah. That's why they're all full of magic like that. They're... they're gonna be the new wizards?" And that either causes him more problems or helps him a bit bc in the eyes of others it explains a lot!

[wolfsbanesparks]

Hey y'all!

I'm back with another oneshot! This one was written for @pantheonofcoffee as a part of @dcufans4palestine

Summary: Billy wasn't entirely sure how he'd managed it, but somehow he’d convinced just about everyone— his teachers, classmates, employers, and even the entire Justice League—that he was a single father of six rather than a semi-homeless preteen.

Oddly enough that might end up being a good thing

[toobytoobs]

I need a fic where all the magic users know that the Champion of Magic is a child so they just start unintentionally co-parenting Billy.

Like, John Constantine will take him on outings to hell. Billy will run off and come back with a piece of Constantine’s soul that had been gambled away and Billy will refuse to explain how he got it.

Dr. Fate (against his better judgment) sets up a playdate between Billy and Klarion the Witch Boy where they are just running around causing chaos (nothing harmful thanks to Billy)

Zatanna lets Billy come to her shows where he’s putting every other audience member to shame with how loud he claps and cheers whenever Zatanna does a trick.

Give me a scenario where magic users are regularly teleporting into the watchtower just to give Captain Marvel a packed lunch, and telling him off —in front of the JL�� for forgetting it.

BILLY BATSON TEXTPOST DOODLES!!

he’s literally a silly billy.

[timdrakecoffeemug]

Freddy begging Billy to take him to Justice League's meetings bcs he wants to meet the League as his first act of superhero-sibling-nepotism.

[howdoidothiss-blog]

I feel in my heart that BatFam enjoyers should love the Shazamily more but society is scared to have that conversation 😔✊
