Starchaser where James is the snobby popular guy who could date anyone he wanted bc everyone trails after him all the time

People are expecting him to go for someone like Emmeline (most popular girl in the school) or Lily (an actual genius obviously) or maybe just mess around with as many people as possible just because he can and there would be nearly no repercussions

So when Sirius finds out that he is dating Regulus- who'd always had trouble with social cues, especially when so many people expected him to be a perfect pureblodo son, and was always a bit mean and proud when he was talking to people because he was never taught otherwise, and didn't really stick out at school because he was a bit more of a recluse than many other Slytherin purebloods and was 'very good' at school but not a Barty, Severus, or Lily level genius- he can't help but be so happy

Because despite James having so many people he could date, he fell for the one person everybody else would be disappointed about when they heard. And Sirius KNOWS it was NEVER a matter of James pulling out the name of an adoring fan from a hat. He knew he'd have had to connect to Regulus, see past the bitter cruelty of his mask, break down his walls, and earn his trust unwaveringly before he was able to ask him out

He knew that his best friend had settled for who he wanted instead of who everybody else wanted him to want, and he knew that his brother got to know what true care and understanding felt like from somebody who had so much to give

The Justice League have a problem, one that needs some level of knowledge and expertise of a being from the Infinite Realms to give them a better chance of actually solving this problem.

However.

Every ghost they have summoned, without fail, took one look at Constantine. Squinted (yes, squinted). Then decided to go back to where they came without a word.

This. Would have been useful, nice even. If it was a situation where they needed the summoned being of a cult to head back to where they came without a fight.

But alas, that is not what is happening.

The Justice League, obviously, ask him why the ghosts keep fleeing back to their Realm at the sight of him, but Constantine can't answer because he genuinely has no idea why they keep leaving when getting a proper look at him.

So they keep trying and they do find some success in it. They summoned a boy, most likely older than he physically looks yet it still puts some of them off because of, well.

You know.

A boy with white hair and toxic green eyes. The boy stops short, as if not expecting to be randomly transported to somewhere else, takes a look around the room, then the Justice League. His eyes settle on one person.

Constantine, in particular.

He squints (Why do all of them squint? Nobody knows) and then a sudden looking of realization passes on his face. Different from the looks of vague fear and genuinely want to not involve themselves any further, his face held slight disgust and a heavy amount of disappointment.

Thankfully, he didn't leave immediately after that.

Constantine asks what's with the look on the ghost boy's face, the ghost boy in question squints even further. Stares at Constantine for a moment or two, buries his face in his hands and brings his knees to his hand and groans out.

"He could've done so much better."

What's the next clue?

LECTURE 7: MEET THE BEATLES (PART 2): Back in the 1980s, the American television network CBS had a popular newsmagazine program called West 57th, which was sort of like 60 Minutes for younger, hipper people. West 57th ran from 1985 to 1989. One of the segments on one of the episodes profiled George Harrison, who was interviewed by West 57th correspondent (and fellow Brit) Selina Scott in October 1987 for an episode that aired on December 12, 1987. The episode offers a fascinating glimpse at Harrison later in his career, yet it also touches on his distinctive personality traits that made him . . . well, George Harrison. His intense shyness, his aversion to public attention, and his reclusive nature are all on full display here. There is a reason why Harrison was nicknamed “the Quiet Beatle” back in the heyday of Beatlemania. His natural reclusiveness dates back to his childhood. What makes this interview all the more fascinating is that Harrison – as Selina Scott points out – so seldom granted interviews. I urge you to watch this interview from beginning to end. It is a compelling snapshot of a shy man.

Baby recluse, you can start to see his violin shape.

You know how people say giving Sunny more NightWing like features would give her away as a hybrid? SandWing's canonically have black markings and since we're already playing around with designs anyway yeah that can extend to markings beyond the diamond pattern. Split down the middle black and gold Sunny can just be seen as a weird case of melanism/natural SandWing patterns before the reveal be free have your cake and eat it too.
