Thominewt Roadtrip Headcanons !

yay!

Well, first off, Minho is the only one of these losers to even have a driver's license.

Despite this, Thomas will make up for it by... Backseat driving the hell out of Minho. "Turn right! Turn right! Oh wait, no, Apple Maps says go forward for another 8 miles. Sorry." "Minho, the speed limit is 86mph, you're going 87!!" "Minho-"

Minho ends up turning his hearing aid off for most of the drive. It's mostly for show, though. He can still hear through his right ear (which is, unfortunately, the one Thomas is shouting in). But it does get Thomas to shut up about his driving for a few minutes.

Until there's a gas station, anyway. Then Thomas is immediately forcing Minho to pull over because this man? This man is so big on snacks. He's got 'em all organized by vibes and behaviors. Chocolate-y snacks for when he's feeling tired, beef jerky for when he just wants something to munch on, gummies for when he's chatting with Newt and Minho, crackers for when he's staring out the window and listening to music...

Speaking of music, Don't. Touch. Newt's radio. Doesn't matter if it's Minho's car. It's Newt's playlist. He's going to decide the music. It's one of the few things Minho's smart enough to not argue with him on.

A lot of people think Thomas would be the one chatting away, but it's actually Newt. Newt's the one pulling Minho out of that autopilot Driver Brain Numbness to chat, Newt's the one convincing Thomas to take his headphones off (he picked a playlist just for this road trip and Thomas wants to listen to his own music? rude).

The man needs his closeness. His love language is quality time and you can't change my mind. He revels in the comfortable silence as the three do their own things together, and he basks in the amiable chatter between his boyfriends (except for when Minho starts dunking on cats during their classic Cats VS Dogs convo, but every fantasy has a few holes).

Speaking of love languages, Minho's is acts of kindness (again, you can't change my mind). And it shows when he overpacks so much.

Oh, what if Thomas gets cold? What if Newt's ankle starts acting up? Compression helps with ankle pains, right? He should bring sixty blankets for a 3-day trip, right? He brings back-up toothbrushes (because Newt forgets his at motels sometimes), brings weighted blankets (Thomas hates the motel ones; they're so light), brings ten gallons of moisturizer (Newt hates dry skin), brings a taser (a bit much, but safety is good), brings a waffle machine (a little weird, but Thomas is adamant that waffles are just pancakes but better), brings a saxophone (okay, that one might just be odd), brings a horse saddle (Minho stop-)

Newt makes everyone write a list of all the stuff they're bringing so they don't forget their things when they're coming home (Minho's list is ten miles long). The first thing Newt writes on his own list is spare hearing aid batteries. It's the one thing Minho never bothers to worry about when he's (over)packing. He knows Newt will bring it.

Thomas sits backseat. Sometimes, if the trunk can't fit all their things, they'll have to put some stuff in the backseat, and Thomas ends up a little squashed. But that's okay. Newt tries to offer him passenger seat, but Thomas turns it down each time. He likes the backseat, it's where he can kiss the back of his boyfriends' necks.

(He's tried kissing Newt from the passenger's seat. It doesn't work as well. Also he once kicked Minho in the face trying to do so.)

POV: Batboys’ when on a roadtrip

Driver: Jason. Undoubtedly. Dick drives like a total maniac and they do not want to die today. Somehow, Jason is their chosen driver. Does he drive like a normal person? No. He doesn’t even have his driver’s license. But the chance of crashing with him behind the wheel is significantly lower than with any other Batboy.

Passenger Princess: Dick. He made it an unofficial rule that he has to get shotgun just because he is the oldest. Next to that, he also wanted to be in charge of snacks and music. After trying this arrangement out twice, Damian immediately seized control of the AUX cord because he’d rather kill himself than listen to Dick’s abomination of a music taste.

Navigator: Tim. He sits behind Dick and just adores to point out any misinformation the built in navigation system gives Jason. He is the professional at getting the boys from A to B in the quickest possible way. That is, when he isn’t asleep.

DJ: Damian. The bar was extremely low after he took over from Grayson. At first Damian tried to play off how much he took his job seriously. Nowadays, it isn’t much of a secret that he regularly meets up with Steph to put together the best playlists for in the car.

task force 141 headcanons because I have free will

soap wears nothing but adidas slides when he's on leave. he's sick and tired of getting blisters from his military boots that he refuses to wear any other shoe when he's back in scotland

ghost's favorite season is spring. he loves hearing birds chirping and singing (would never admit this out loud) and enjoys hiking when the weather is just right.

gaz will cook a mean roast and is a snob about what herbs and spices go with what meat and vegetables. (this goes for soap as well bc i headcanon he was raised on a farm)

price is so fucking tired all the time but hides it really well. he'll fall asleep standing up in a heli without a problem

speaking of price, he's a loud ass cougher and sneezer and the rest of the force mimic and tease him about it

ghost has every member of the force's phone number. Price is saved in his contacts as 'Captain Price'. Gaz is 'Kyle Garrick'. Soap is just /insert scottish phone number/ and he refuses to change it just to piss off Johnny

to continue that adidas slides thought for soap, i like to think he's dripped out in any sportswear brand. DEFINITELY has a Napapijri jacket and at least three nike puffer jackets. every item of clothing for the gym is either nike or under armour and every running shoe he has is by asics

Gaz has five colognes he rotates. Soap has three (used to have four but lost one??? where the fuck is it?). Price has one that he's been rebuying for the past fifteen years. Ghost also has one (stole the best-smelling one from Johnny)

Gaz really likes board games while Ghost enjoys card games

Price knows some russian and soap is learning spanish

Ghost grew up with nothing and is now insatiable. doesn't spend that much on decorating his apartment or clothes but he sees a weighted or heated blanket on amazon with raving reviews? doesn't even check the price; it's in his cart. A new mattress made out of memory foam for his shitty back? added to cart. He sees a commercial for a 70-inch flat-screen tv? he needs it to watch soccer in 16k 240fps and 480p re-run episodes from youtube of 'how it's made' when johnny visits him.

price types with one finger (sorry to this man)

ghost rarely types out a response to a text. or if he does respond, it's just a thumbs-up emoji

soap gets down NASTY to 2000's and 2010's music. Like girl this man is breaking his neck and back and ankles on the dancefloor after three-four drinks and nobody can stop him

continuing for soap, he once got wasted and borrowed a cigarette from someone at a club and turned into a hired assassin for the night. the guy who gave him the cigarette got jumped and soap dislocated the attacker's jaw with one punch

gaz has every allergy under the sun while ghost gets the flu every five years or so

ghost has a sharp left canine and johnny nearly flatlines when he sees it

price has freckles on his biceps and shoulders

ghost notices soap is always chewing gum. they make stops during missions so the sergeant can buy (more like swipe) a pack. always the same brand, always the same flavor, and he always offers a piece to ghost. for his birthday, ghost gifts him two mega packs (that's like 400 pieces?) of his preferred gum and soap's heart swells in his chest

these are all over the place but i'm writing a ghoap fic and my motivation is dwindling so i just had to write this :')

if anyone wants a part 2 let me know bc this was a lot of fun to write!

I think Wayne Manor has been totally redesigned from top to bottom for accessibility reasons (e.g. increased doorway width, lower/modifiable countertops, ramps, flooring change, altered door handles, et cetera). It started with making the place better for Babs, then Alfred realized it was more comfortable as he aged, and Bruce realized that it was a massive benefit because family members were injured nonstop.

Imagine if it was during their road trip that Erik first realized he could levitate, and once he also discovered the metal on Charles’ clothes was enough for him to lift Charles into the air too, they had a La La Land moment dancing beneath the stars while floating above the city.

[bexcookiee]

All the Batkids failed their first drivers test. They all got too used to occasionally driving the Batmobile. (Whether they were allowed to or not.) They broke at least half a dozen road rules each minute in that car and all struggled to switch to legal driving.

Dick was first and he got so many lessons to correct his poor driving. After being a menace of a child and Bruce letting him get away with shit, despite all the lessons Dick just couldn’t get the “way too many” road rules to stick in his head when he would go out a break half of them once a week. He was fully angsting during this period and only tried the test a max of twice before Jason died and he took a long break. (And maybe drove a lot of vehicles illegally when he needed to, there was no proof.) When Tim came along he tried again. At this point he had (illegally) driven enough and was old enough to properly understand road rules and passed on his next shot at it.

Jason died too early to take the test as ‘Jason Todd’, he took the test once in his main civilian identity and was about a meter away from crashing before the instructor slammed the brakes. He forged the license and told everyone he only failed because he couldn’t stand the backseat driving. He has crashed many vehicles and sends any of his traffic violations to Bruce to pay (despite having crime money that could definitely cover it). Dick bails him out frequently when he gets taken in due to the sheer amount of repeat offences Jason’s racked up. (Jason getting revived legally would just mean he claimed to have taken the test and wouldn’t actually take it.) TLDR; Jason literally never gets his license but certainly failed first time ‘round.

Tim was pretty close, he didn’t sleep the night before and told everyone ‘this is how I work best’. He failed on account of accidentally speeding, max 10km/h, over the speed limit when he zoned out slightly. He failed the second time because he, again, didn’t sleep the night before and so fucked up his parking and failed to stop properly at stop signs. He got his license third try when he actually got some sleep the night prior. However no one ever wants to get into a car with him because he never actually sleeps enough for his driving to become road safe.

On Cass’ first drivers test she failed on account of ignoring road signs. After driving the Batmobile regularly using the quickest route she was used to turning left despite signs that say no left turn and honestly stop signs, what are those? Cass was begrudgingly a little more sensible than some of her siblings so she drove the Batmobile more often and instinctively broke many of these before the instructor could get a word in edgewise. Her instructor considered switching jobs after she crossed four lanes of traffic, very well mind you, when there was absolutely no reason for her to even go that way. (It was the path she always took to Arkham after a breakout. Instinct had kicked in.)

Duke failed for speeding. There were a couple other infractions but he managed to get those excused, no one really knows how. Miraculously he got his license on his second try. (He shouldn’t have, letting him on the road was a mistake.)

Damian got a bunch of lessons and tried really hard to show his siblings that he was the best of them. By the time he took the test he got all the normal stuff down and could probably drive better than Duke or Cass when he wanted to. He failed on account of accumulating too many little infractions. He was pissed. He took more lessons, like way more than he actually needed to, and also got his license second try. No believed he actually got it without threatening his instructor (he tried it the first time) legitimately and wouldn’t get in the car (civilian ids) with him behind the wheel for a good while.

It's been a year, so here's the wrap up!

I actually haven't posted a lot of this art- or other art that I've made this year haha. Took a major break from going online and even Sonic as a whole for a few months even.

I feel like I haven't changed my style that much, but I did change a bit. I don't color the whites of eyes anymore, I figured out how to make things glow, and I sometimes color my lines too!

[neilperrystypewriter]

my modern “if the poets went on a roadtrip with mr. keating” headcanons:

- mr. keating: drives like a bat out of hell (this man is literally airborne on the interstate)

- neil: in the passenger seat trying to teach mr. keating that google maps is easier than an actual map + has to turn down the volume of the music constantly bc mr. keating can’t hear anything (“you take a left up here-“ “WHAT?” *cranks music down* “YOU TAKE A LEFT UP HERE, CAPTAIN”)

- todd: got left at the gas station (they did turn around and get him but he just stares out the window behind the drivers seat the whole time in silence—still upset)

- charlie: behind the passenger seat on the aux and playing the most god awful music you��ve ever heard in your life (i feel like he would play a lot of underground music that no man has ever heard before except the artist that created it)

- knox: in the back complaining about the bad WiFi signal bc his awful selfies won’t go through to Chris (she definitely blocked him)

- meeks: in the back as well + binging on the snacks he brought with and watching a movie from the screen on the back of a seat (let’s be honest, he’s watching oppenheimer)

- pitts: “LOOK IT’S A COW” every 5 minutes (also in the back)

- cameron: locked in the trunk somehow?? (mr. keating isn’t aware bc they told him cameron was busy that day)

[ghost-bxrd]

Ghost, you are a fountain of incredible aus. I am impressed (and a little jealous). Do you have anything more on eldritch Jason or the Calvin Rose road trip au?

Awe thank you! I’m happy you’re enjoying all the crack content on here hehehe 💚💚

and boi do I have more ✨

Edlritch Jason 👁️

Jason has trouble keeping his true form in check when he’s excited! The happier/upset he gets, the more his outline and shape start to ooze

He has several maws with teeth that range from blunt to sharp needle points. In one of those maws hides a black hole

Jason is scared of space, funnily enough. Too empty and vast for him as he gets lonely pretty easily. He likes the crowded spaces teeming with life.

Jason loves learning new human things

Jason has no reaction to fear or joker toxin. Or any kind of substance that would impair a regular human’s health. Bruce finds out about that after he nearly loses his mind with worry following a widespread toxin attack in which Jason “forgets” his rebreather.

Pictures of Jason always end up looking a little displaced. There’s always some kind of glitch/blur/shadow in it that no amount of tech improvement can get rid of

Even though he’s eldritch at core, Jason’s human body can still be hurt, and he experiences pain just like any other human would

Calvin Rose road trip 🌹

Calvin finds Jason soaking wet and still in his funeral clothes and injuries sitting by the curb and is disturbed enough by the kid’s appearance to usher him back to his hideout.

For the longest time Calvin thinks Jason is called Bruce because that’s the only thing he will say

Taking Jason with him is a spur of the moment decision. Jason reminds him too much of himself, beaten and broken and locked away in a dog cage to die, and he looks so… lost. Calvin can’t bear to drive away from that without knowing what happens to the kid

As much as Calvin grumbles about it sometimes he’s exceptionally good and patient with Jason. He talks a lot and points out inane things even though he rarely (if ever) gets a reaction. (Calvin was lonely, not that he’s gonna admit that)

For some time Calvin thinks Jason used to be trained as a Talon when a few people try to mug them and Jason goes all Robin-training on them. He’s sure their little experiments went to far and the Court meant to dispose of him now that he’s “broken”

The first words Jason speaks that isn’t any iteration of Bruce’s name is “burger” (because he wants a burger). Calvin buys him ten because that’s literally the first time Jay has ever expressed an opinion on food.

Jason’s second word is “Dick”, and Calvin nearly chokes to death on his beer.

From there on it’s a steady improvement of Jay’s mental state, but that also means he starts getting night terrors as he remembers his death and the Joker. Once Calvin pieces together the broad picture he’s down to devising plans to dispose of the clown. He’s not making compromises where people who hurt children are concerned. Especially not if they’re family

Jason never tells Calvin about Batman or being Robin, he’s… kind of happy to be away from all of it. Especially after seeing Brucie Wayne and his new protege and Dick Grayson, a happy and smiling family, on the news together. And sightings of Robin making the front page of most magazines

Calvin knows Jason is hiding something from him, but hey, so is Calvin. All he knows is that his kid brother road trip buddy really doesn’t seem to like Gotham’s vigilantes. Something he can totally respect. And thankfully, Calvin is skilled enough to keep him safe even if the glorified furry and his acolytes were to come after Jay for whatever reason.

Jason’s favorite song to listen to while driving is “I know the end” by Phoebe Bridgers. Calvin starts out hating the song but is to endeared by how happy Jason gets (even in his early catatonic state) that he doesn’t say anything. It ends up being both their favorite song

Part 2 (I do not apologize for half baking Horrors frame)

Does anyone ever think about why the fuck Micheal went to Egypt

[saltyb0ba]

i am the one person in the universe who is a transformers universal ride evac fan. i am the #1 evac fan. if there are no evac fans i am dead. i'm the evac guy. maybe me and one other person but mostly me

[apollosothertwin]

mag lived in the city for most of her life that she can remember, so she was always amazed by the stars while Apollo and Meg had their travels around the country. Apollo would always tell her a new story from a different constellation each night when they could see them.

Marauders on a road trip

James: Drives. Gets upset when Remus doesn't compliment his parking but brightens up with Sirius praises him. Stops every two hours on the dot to reapply sunscreen. Uses the scientific names of plants when playing I Spy. Pretends to ignore when Remus blushes at the texts Sirius sends him constantly.

Sirius: Passenger princess. Drinks iced coffees the majority of the trip and stares out the window. Complains loudly whenever a song that James or Remus chose is played that he doesn't know the words to. Always buys Remus an extra chocolate bar at every rest stop. Holds a conversation with James while placing his hand behind his seat so Remus can hold it for hours.

Remus: Had a packing list ready to go months ago. Is responsible for luggage Tetris. Sits in the back seat and gives directions from the printed out map on his lap that James doesn't listen to. Refuses to sit in the front and sacrifices leg space because he knows Sirius gets car sick if he sits in the back. Ignores conventional safety and sits behind the driver (behind James) so that he can look at Sirius in the rearview mirror.

[velvet4510]

My mind is convinced that Apocalypse could only have happened if Charles and Erik didn’t act on their feelings for each other during First Class.

I’m sorry but there’s no way Erik could’ve fully settled down with some random woman if he’d been with Charles. Once you’ve made love with a telepath who can mind-meld with you, there’s just no going back; you’re ruined for anyone else. Nor could Charles have been so obsessed with Moira.

So there are multiple universes here; in one, they did get together on the road trip and were stuck on each other for life (and so, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix didn’t happen); the other, they weren’t more than friends at that time, so Erik was able to fool himself into thinking he could spend the rest of his life with someone else and Charles was able to fool himself into thinking it was Moira who was his “lost love.” And I don’t mean the timelines that diverged via DOFP - this is a divergence that would’ve happened long before that, based on their choices during those first few months of knowing each other, a choice that determined whether poor Magda Gurzsky would die old in her bed or young in a forest.

(Not that it would make that much more sense, considering Erik Lehnsherr would NEVER settle down with a human after becoming Magneto and especially after finding out humans were nearly destined to wipe out mutants just as he feared. But, yeah.)

Unpopular opinion probably but I said what I said.

(Side note: this lines up perfectly with my favorite Apocalypse fix-it fic that I recently did a whole post about where it somehow isn’t until after En Sabah Nur has come and gone that they figure out how they really feel.)

[thekitsandthekats]

okay sorry everyone, im back on my hotchreid road trip shit.

listen to me when i tell you that spencer spent a week curating the playlist. he's got everything on there. he's got all his favourite classical pieces. he's got the beatles white album for aaron (and the killers' hot fuss because i headcanon that he loves that album). he's got two audio books just in case they want something different. he's got print maps and google maps set and ready on his phone. he's got the perfect drinks ready, chosen through the art of science and what will give the best long lasting energy. he's dressed down in loose pants and a big jersey, ready to be comfortable and warm, ready for the road!!

aaron on the other hand has the most well packed first aid kit in the country. he's got everything they might need. nausea meds, bandages, plasters, patches, everything! he's prepped in case anything happens. and he's got all the snacks. good chips, sweets, cubed fruit and cookies! he knows that spencer has a sweet tooth so he wants him to have the full range of sweetness. he's dressed in comfortable jeans, a polo and easy shoes.

they leave early in the morning because aaron is an early riser and he wants to hit the road before all the cars come out. spencer hates this because he can't be up at five am when he's supposed to be on holiday so of course he's sleeping in the car. aaron knows this and loves him so dearly. he puts on some of the softer classical pieces so he doesn't disturb spencer but also he thinks its so nice to watch the sun rise to the sound of the violin.

they swap drivers at noon after stopping for lunch. and they always stop for lunch. spencers rule! because movement out of the car is healthy and good for them!

in between the music and the snacks, spencer also rambles endlessly, telling aaron about all the new books he read, the plays they've seen, the latest scientific discoveries, everything! aaron loves to listen to him, to debate and deconstruct arguments, to listen to the passion in spencer's voice.

i know nothing about american geography but they stop in open fields or even sunflower fields because spencer wants to run through the flowers. they stop in little towns and look around, seeing all the unique parts of it. they sometimes sleep in little b&bs or guesthouses run by an eldery couple or a sweet family. sometimes they drive through the night because spencer's sleep schedule is fucked and he loves seeing the moonlight on aarons cheeks as he sleeps in the passenger seat.

they don't have a specific destination in mind because its all about the trip but make no mistake spencer has a full itinerary planned. because he mapped their trip out months ago and knows what sights are on their stops.

they took a week off of work to go on the trip and that makes them both incredibly anxious and worried about the cases they aren't working on. but three hours into their first day, they both feel free and warm and so comfortable that anxiety takes a different shape, placing itself in the boxes at the back of their minds. they let themselves be in the moment, in the now, in the car with the radio up loud, singing mr brightside off key and silly and aaron thinks god i want to marry him, and spencer thinks this is it, this is home.
