My love, might I request headcanons for my most beloved stupid Black Beetle. He is not on your list but you love me (hopefully) and I may be his sole fan. My most betrothed it will bring me immense joy.

PS I love you pookie shmookie mwah mwah xoxo I hope you recover from that time I hit you in the head with a cast iron pan <3

Black Beetle Headcanons

(Only for you pookie bear, I will write headcanons for your boy.)

————————————————————

[General Headcanons]

Probably over seven feet tall, I’m just getting that out there, he likely has sharp teeth as well.

If he liked anything about Earth, I feel like it would be music, specifically jazz or old timey music, he just gives off those vibes. That or metal.

The moment any Reach stepped onto Earth they immediately had a sneeze attack because they are not used to the pollen.

I think the closest thing you could possibly compare their species to, is a reptile, I don’t know why, it just feels the most accurate. (Or even a reptile-bug mix)

I think the Reach in general have slit pupils like cats instead of circle pupils.

Black Beetle has two expressions, angry and angrier. Or on the rare occasion, very very smug.

Black Beetle is a warrior so he has a very strict schedule and he won’t deviate from his routine for anything that isn’t a threat. He’s very meticulous with his training and work, he makes sure he’s doing everything with the intent of it being perfect.

He probably doesn’t really like Ambassador (even before the final episodes of season two) because he finds him incredibly incompetent but he had no proof so he needed to wait before taking away his title.

If there’s any Reach he actually likes, it's the Scientist, and that’s only because he actually knows she’s intelligent and is thinking about the Reach as a whole, especially when she was insisting on trying to find out why Blue Beetle’s scarab was off mode.

Black Beetle just does not show interest in anything or anyone because it’s not in his training and he is just not good at being nice.

He has a resting bitch face. That’s it.

Likely has really cold and cool skin and body temperature.

[Romantic Headcanons]

OH BOY! Now trying to romance this big fucker is a challenge for the gods.

Black Beetle doesn’t really think much about love as he’s very warrior mindset driven, so if you managed to catch his eye, you’re very lucky.

I feel like the Reach would have a sort of courtship thing, like providing the person they like with food or gifts, and he’d also partake in it.

If you didn’t know anything about their species, you’d probably be very confused when Black Beetle starts bringing you food or random trinkets he found, even if you asked him about it, I don’t think he’d explain what he’s doing, you’d have to ask Ambassador or Scientist about it, then you’d get your answer.

After that the realization that he’s trying to court you would hit you like a truck, especially if you’ve been subconsciously accepting the offerings.

It’d be a few months of this courting before he finally asks you out, and even then it’s the most blunt way possible.

A relationship with Black Beetle would definitely be interesting, he’d likely be very protective if you aren’t a Reach, like a human, though he’d likely be subtle with his protective nature.

Oddly enough, if you are smaller than him (which is likely true), he’d be very gentle with touching you in any manner due to having claws.

On his breaks or days off, he’d probably spend them resting or training, and if he’s resting, you will be laying next to him, he is actually really cool to the touch, so if you’re human then you’re like his own personal heater.

He likes when he can compare his hand size to yours, and your hair (if you have any), he finds it interesting and soft.

ABSOLUTELY HAS NO CLUE WHAT KISSES ARE. He does nuzzle though, that’s his species version of kissing, but he’ll indulge your kisses as well.

[welcometogrouchland]

my Stephanie Brown hot take is that she should get mad bitches now that she's single in comics. Yes yes shipping BUT the one time she had sex she was punished by the narrative via teen pregnancy. I think she should be allowed to have as much sex as she wants with zero consequences. Could be a lot of sex, could be a little. Point is she should get to do it without getting narratively baby trapped this time. she should get them pregnant, actually.

Guess who’s watching Young Justice for the first time and having WAY too much fun mocking it…. #sorrynotsorry heeeheee

Batman danger scale

From this by @arkangelo-7

Nightwing usually treated these exentric training missions more as a vacation. And they practicly were. A few days in a forest or a cabin in the woods. Sometimes, he does it specifically because there's a serial killer loose in the area. Safe to say, Nightwing is disturbingly comfortable in horror movie situations.

But something was off this time.

For starters, he's an adult. Batman is not his boss anymore. So why was he so insistent on this? Then there's the bunker. It's clean and modern looking. And there's a concerning lack of threats. The last straw was when Nightwing, Robin, and the rest of the Titans got to what looked like the main room in the Tower and Batcave combined. Because Young Justice was there too, and the Minor Leaguers with their non super parents.

That set it. No way did Batman send toddlers and civilians to 'survival training'. This was something else.

The Titans seemed exited. Gar was already playing with the kids (and managing to flirt with Stargirl at the same time). Raven found Black Alice and Lilith. The Wonder Girls and Supers found each other too. Kid Flash and Blue Beetle had made their way to a pile of other legacies in front of a TV playing some old Scifi movie.

No, not all legacies. Some of them were kids he hadn't even met yet. He only knew them from files. And he suspected there were more in other rooms.

Handing it off to @caffeinatedhearts12 , @perpetuallyconfuzzled , @lunar-fandom-eclipse or @yoopsity to continue

To that one person in my asks who said they also like Black Beetle, idk if you’ll see this but you inspired me to post more, I thought it was just me so I didn’t really bother posting him, but now I know I’m not just posting into the wind <3

Btw this was supposed to be a warmup but I decided to finish it (I figured out how to paint clouds)

Mongol vs Black Beetle

How Blue Beetle is the Hero James Gunn's DCU Needs

It is no secret the DC Universe has had its fair share of setbacks when it has come to live action films.

From trying to start a universe with Green Lantern, to Man of Steel starting the inconsistent DCEU, it has been hard to watch so many heroes wasted by studio interference, failed universe building, and let's just say, unorthodoxed takes on famous characters (I'm looking at you Joker and Lex).

Now we have an opportunity for a fresh start.

Director James Gunn has a new lineup of films consisting of big swings and fan favorite characters, hoping to build up the DCU we know and love.

In this new marriage between Warner Bros and Gunn, he has inherited 4 children from the previous marriage. The previous box office bomb Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the current box office bomb The Flash, the sequel to one of the biggest DCEU movies Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Blue Beetle, the attempt at a new hero for the DCEU franchise who is somewhat left up in the air between DCEU and DCU.

While some have already chalked this up as another potential bomb, of the 4 movies, this has been my most anticipated.

Unlike the others, Blue Beetle I believe is in a prime slot as the right character, right time, not only to the general public, but to the DCU. Here's why:

1. The Flexibility of Blue Beetle

Unlike the characters Shazam, Flash, and Aquaman, Blue Beetle is not directly attached the DCEU.

Besides a mention of Batman, and the gear of (the probably late) Ted Kord, Blue Beetle doesn't have many connections to a wider DC Universe. He can exist in either, if they wish to continue one or both.

2. The World Building Potential

Blue Beetle opens up another part of the DC Universe in multiple different ways EARLY.

As the Scarab is a part of The Reach, this opens up a whole other side of DCU we have never seen, and potentially sets up an invasion storyline.

The Reach also have a deal with The Guardians of the Universe of Oa, setting him up for a potential Green Lantern crossover nicely.

But unlike many other heroes, Jaime Reyes isn't just a member of the Justice League...

He's a TEEN TITAN!

Jaime opens the door to young heroes existing already! The Teen Titans are a fan favorite, but he is also a member of Young Justice, who are equally as fun.

This is currently an untapped market for both DC and Marvel (though I'm sure the Young Avengers are coming). Jaime can act as a door between both, offering a perspective as the youngest member of the Justice League, and the senior member of the Titans.

3. Legacy Characters are IN

A particular kind at least.

If I had a nickel for every legacy character who is (vaguely) attached to a hero they admire, who take on that hero's name, with a similar but different set of powers, who then makes their old costume better, and who happen to be a person of color, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it has happened thrice.

The most famous of course is Miles Morales AKA Spider-Man, who has headed two incredible movies and a pretty sweet video game, along with several appearances in animation.

The second is fan favorite Kamala Khan AKA Ms. Marvel, who had a pretty solid show and also headed up a video game. While these are not as good as Mile's, they are both in the zeitgeist, and with her big film debut coming up in The Marvels, Iman Vellani has a bright future ahead of herself in and out of the MCU.

And finally, we have Blue Beetle! While he is a legacy character by name, he becomes Blue Beetle AFTER Ted Kord dies in comics, similar to Miles and Peter Parker. He carries the weight and legacy of a hero he never knew, and tries to do it his own way.

That is something audiences are loving right now, and Blue Beetle can tell a similar story.

and finally...

4. Xolo Maridueña is Perfect

You think I'm overselling him, but I'm not.

If you don't know his name yet, you will soon. As the star of Cobra Kai, Xolo plays Miguel, a kid from nowhere trying to live up to the legacy of man he deems great. If that isn't Jaime, I don't know what is.

Xolo plays every role he has with heart, charm, and has comedic timing to beat. As one of its leads, Xolo helped take Cobra Kai from a YouTube Red Series to one of Netflix's BIGGEST Shows.

And at only 22, he is young enough to play a late teen, and to be in this role for years to come.

In Marvel talk, we can very much be looking at DC's Tom Holland, and Blue Beetle could be Spider-Man Homecoming.

The bottomline is, I am beyond stoked for Blue Beetle, and as a Latinx fan, I know I'm gonna be there day 1, rooting for its success.

I hope to look back on this 10 years later, as the Justice League unite with Jaime up there with em, three movies under Xolo's belt, a fan favorite, with more to come.

Guess who wrote 41 main bullet points about episode 3 of the Payday Webseries which is more bulletpoints than episode 1 & 2 had combined.

Me, I did, in large part due to Jordan Griffin and also trying to figure out how Hector's drug trade worked

[choism]

Would y'all hate me if I said I'd let black and green beetle hit it just once
