in the tags of that one fab five poly post you mentioned that you are a core four enthusiast and I’d love to hear if you have any Kon headcanons or just any yj headcanons in general, I love those little guys

!!! i love Kon so much, he's one of my fave guys. i actually got into the 90s era of comics to read his solo run, YJ(98), and then i just spiralled from there. i've got lots of headcanons about both Kon and YJ

for Kon specifically, i'm really attached to the headcanon of him and Power Girl being friends. i think the idea of them bonding over imposter syndrome over feeling like Kryptonians who don't neatly fit into the Superfam would be very crunchy. it's my Kara Zor-L stan showing, but i've got a lot of fic ideas where they end up close. similarly: i also think a friendship between Kon and Bizarro could be fun, both being clones of Superman made by Lex.

for a YJ headcanon: i hold FIRMLY to the belief that Bart knew TIm's secret identity before YJ even formed he just. never mentioned it bc no one asked him. the way they meet in Robin Plus Impulse, i see no world where Bart doesn't figure it out. i think it makes for a hilarious concept that Tim's identity real is a big deal and he uses the whole fake name Alvin Draper and Bart just blurts out that he's Tim Drake. i know we all love TimKon, but I'm a bit of a TimBart truther and i think it could be a fun little moment for them.

back to Kon: this is less of a headcanon and more of just a thought: but i wish we had more content about the Ravers, Kon's team before YJ. i won't everytime i think about Superboy & the Ravers i have to look it up to convince myself i didn't hallucinate that entire comic. but it was so fun. there was a road trip arc. a canon queer character who's arc was handled shockingly well for the 90s. (and the homophobic character was the one who got the unhappy ending while the gay man got to be happy with a bf?? revolutionary.) i personally believe Hero Cruz was Kon's gay awakening. i won't elaborate on this. anyway i wish we saw more of Kon thinking about this team after YJ formed and maybe missing some of his old party friend losers.

also on the note of Kon, i love any exploration of his canon experiences with being groomed by just about every woman he "dated" in the 90s. i'm such a fan of when a character becomes hypersexual to cope with their trauma that they haven't realized even is trauma. and i think Kon fits that bar perfectly. the first real attention he got outside of being attached to Superman's legacy was sexual attention from women, so of course he would lean into that and not realize how fucked up it was until years later. i love when it shapes his relationships in fanfiction, especially if he doesn't realize it. whether it's Tana Moon or Knockout or just about any other woman, there's a lot of material to explore.

Kon is one of the few characters i will venture out of pre-Flashpoint for because i think his complex over Jon Kent has the potential to be really complex and fun. i think everyone misunderstands Kon and Clark's relationship (i blame the Young Justice cartoon. i've had arguments you wouldn't believe over Kon on TikTok-) as father/son and that Clark is constantly pushing Kon away in favor of Jon, and that's just not true. the issue is that Kon was *forgotten* by the timeline shifting without him bc he was off on Gemworld. and to me, that's more interesting than making Clark some kind of absent father to him. it's an issue of the world he remembers not existing anymore and most of the world not remembering him either, and now there's a new Superboy replacing him. idk man that's fun. i have a lot of thoughts about the feelings Kon would have about Jon, wondering if the timeline shift was meant to "correct" Superboy to make a version of Superboy that was meant to exist and Kon wasn't. this very much ties into my thoughts on how he and Power Girl would have a lot to bond over, feeling displaced in a world that doesn't need them. that's where Kon's identity issues stem from. that said, i always prefer a Kon who actually gets along pretty well with the Superfam, including Clark and Jon. most of his conflict is internal, not external. it's what makes him crunchy.

more YJ headcanon: i think the shift from the Teen Titans to YJ from the perspective of the mentors is fascinating. YJ got a lot more freedom and less supervision, it's like how parents don't try as hard when they have more kids. so i love the headcanon that half the time the League has no damn clue what YJ is up to. they played baseball to save the universe? yeah they never mentioned it to their mentors. no one asked. the lack of supervision, sans a robot, makes them incredibly creative with how they solve problems. they don't approach anything traditionally because no one is properly guiding them. since they're a new generation of sidekicks, most of them holding a mantle that was passed down to them (or at the very least they're a new generation of a superhero family) it holds a bit of imposter syndrome. all of them are internally panicking 90% of the time while trying to appear collected around each other. they're actively a collective disaster because of it.

personally, i view the Core Four as more of a queerplatonic polycule than a romantic one? like i think it's fun to explore polycule dynamics where it's not actually everyone dating everyone, but far more complex of some people dating, some people are familial, some people are fucking, and we don't even know what those two have going on. it's complicated, you know? messy and codependent. i don't see them as a neat polycule whatsoever. it's like an on and off again relationship but with four people that also occasionally includes others. i'm personally a fan of the potential of the Young Justice (2019) team being a polycule except none of them have any clue who's dating who. every single one of them *will* give you a different answer. half of them aren't even aware of the other's sexualities. Jinny has come out as a lesbian like four times to her own polycule. i'm a big fan of this team and i wish there was more fan content for it.

random smaller headcanon: i do think Kon can cook and i think no one believes him when he tells them. bc the issue isn't he can't cook, it's that he never has food in his fridge or pantry to cook with. that boy was raised with Ma and Pa Kent, he can make a *mean* hotdish with whatever he finds. just don't expect him to ever repeat a recipe bc he will never have that exact combination of ingredients in his kitchen again. he is however, horrible at baking bc cooking is an art and baking is a science and you will never catch him following a recipe in his life.

i think Kon regularly uses his TTK to save his teammates during fights and just. never mentions it. like in small ways, such as slightly moving flying debris that's about to hit them, making a villain's punch have more resistance so it doesn't hit as hard, slightly pulling them out of the way. no one knows for like. *years*. i'm very obsessed with pushing TTK to the limits and exploring how it makes Kon hyperaware of his surroundings. it's a literal sixth sense and i think he's passively always aware of everything, even when he's relaxing. no one realizes just how much control he exerts over a fight. which means he's holding himself back most of the time, and in my opinion for the reasons of being afraid of himself, and afraid of the Luthor parts of him. so he just. balances a fight in little, unnoticeable ways.

it's one of my headcanons that if Kon started openly dating Tim Drake, Lex would immediately try to get closer to Kon bc not only would he approve of Kon dating someone from high society, but he'd want to try to use Tim's power within his family's company and Bruce's company as leverage. of course it wouldn't work, but it'd be a fun mind game if Lex vs Tim with Kon just stuck in the middle. i have a vague fanfic idea for this I'll probably never write.

this is a cursed headcanon: but i believe Kon has an incest kink. the number of times he's canonically expressed incestual feelings (both on purpose and on accident) is not on purpose in the text, but the fact it keeps happening means i'm personally just going to run with it. i think KonJayTim is fun bc even if Tim and Jason don't see each other as siblings, Kon would make it a kink anyway. i will leave you on that cursed note.

Day 4 of Blorbovember

[plasticbabyart]

THE SPYRO HCS..... hand them over

A SECOND ASK OH BOY blessed day

And YES, I have many !!! Too many..

Anyway, I mix Reignited Trilogy AND academy lore, its Essentially my own AU for CONTEXT !! I really love Reignited, and all those jammers who haven't played it ABSOLUTELY you should !! Anyway..

I think Spyros a musician! Coming from Artisans, hes always yearned to learn his craft without realising he has one already!

Because of this he started a small band with Elf (and sometimes Pop), which he performs at his parties!

He's actually a really great singer!

Everyone goes to Spyro for party planning, while its mostly his way if rebelling, he has a secret talent at throwing the best parties in all of Skylands!

He's overly secretive about his homelife, no one actually knows anything about his family because he doesn't talk about it

To add to that, Spyro is adopted, and is the biological son to Malefor (unknown to him), which is why he has such powerful dark magic, he just wasn't trained to discover it!

When everyone DOES meet his family at the Exam, Spyro is the future King of the Dragon Kingdom! Something that weighs on him

While at the Academy he was treated like "The son Eon never had"

He has a Celebrity Crush on Crash Bandicoot, a Romantic Crush on Elora back home, and a "You make me think of Elora" Crush on Elf (he is very confused)

Hes Bisexual Polyam !

I like to think Spyro would enjoy Indie music, specifically the album LDA by MGMT, but realistically hes a 2000s teenager cool kid

I like to HC they had a prom at the Academy, Spyro wore traditional Royal wear and took Elora as his date !

Dark Spyro appears in his reflection, especially in moments of doubt or high emotions, no one believes him when he says theres deep evil inside him

Spyro has ADHD, Anxiety and BPD

Spyro keeps a diary, and too keep Elf out, its enchanted

He HAS read Elfs diary, and he does it often

Hes a high tier gossiper, Artisan dragons LOVE to gossip, and he is one of them!

Spyro is an Insomniac, like Elf

Spyro often talks about Sparx, saying that if Eon let him at the Academy, he would be stronger and less likely to be hurt

Spyro is incredibly Smart, thanks to the fact he was raised by Artists and Scholars, and often understands Glumshanks literature references (and would LOVE to talk to him)

Spyro makes for a GREAT babysitter, thanks to the fact he babysits of the younger dragons back home (The ones he rescues in YotD, they are all like siblings to him!)

Spyro, is a massive Daddys Boy, much to the groups surprise

Aaaaaaaanndd thats as much as I can remember right now !! If I can remember anymore, I WILL post them !!

What’s your sign and your favorite soup?

[blissfulstatic]

i started all of these games at wildly different times, took varying levels of breaks partway through each of them, and then finished all of their achievements in the same two days

i don't know what to do with myself now

[viridian-rat]

How is your mom helping you with this? Youve been making sure to ask for her help, right?

well my mom told me it was gonna be hard and part of the deal was that she’d let me catch a wild mon but she’d be pretty like. hands-off about it. cuz she wants to see if i can be responsible. she’s keeping Slinky around to make sure im not getting hurt or nothins getting destroyed at home. but if i ask her for help i’d just be proving to her that i cant be responsible and handle it on my own!!!! she’d never let me go on a journey if i cant show her i can handle myself!!!

[thepikachusorcerer]

i adore all "annoying" companions more than anything in the world .

If you wanna throw hands, just say so.

Thinking about my Gibson/Mandarin swap AU again because I really like the idea of a villian Gibson. I think he would really like to be one of those villians that is so Intellecutal and Above Everything and Emotionless™ but he really... isn't able to detach himself that much lmao. Inside, he's still every bit as emotional as he's always been. It's just now hidden beneath a veneer of coldness.

Like I'm just imagining Gibson giving out a typical villian speech, and Sparx interrupts him halfway through with a curt "We get it, Hal" and it pisses him off so much that they just get into a screaming match like the good old days before Gibson remembers that he's "above such things" and goes back to his villian schtick (he still calls him Sparky because he's way too petty not to fire back).

Spell your URL with a song title!

Thanks for the tags @queen-of-boops and @mrsbsmooth!

Sick - The Warning Pineapple Kryptonite - Atarashii Gakko! Amor Prohibido - Selena Ride the Lightning - Metallica Xanny - Billie Eilish August - Taylor Swift Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

This is a dog's breakfast if there ever was one 😂 I had to include a The Warning song and Sick is a great one. Other than that, I wish I had a G somewhere in my URL because Pineapple Kryptonite isn't my favorite Atarashii Gakko! song. That would be Giri Giri. Which... enjoy!
