IT CHOSE ME

but we can choose what to do with it.

#BLUEBEADLE ⸺ here lies my independent, private, semi-selective portrayal of one 𝐉𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 / 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐞 ( the III ) drawn from detective comics. Inspired by comic run Blue Beetle '06-'09, Warner Bros. Blue Beetle (2023), and Young Justice (the tv series), with my own headcanon being developed as I work my way through comic appearances.

𝐀 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘 𝐈𝐍 : becoming  something  other  than  human,  learning  to  be  the  hero,  getting  used  to  never  being  alone,  sharing  your  body  &  mind  with  other  entities,  being  a  weapon,  familial  bonds  &  loyalty,  finding  yourself.

[bluebeadle]

Sorry for not being around everybody. I've been overextending myself with blogs because my mind is overactive with what it wants to do, and pretty unfocused. So I'm going to give myself a mental break before I'm totally burnt out. Plan on being around by 6/6/26 - see you then, thanks for the understanding! Of course, anyone with my discord are free to reach out to me. I do some writing there, too.

[thrownsoul]

"Okay. That's a lot," she offers, with a flicker of humor. She wasn't expecting him to share something so personal, but she isn't fazed by it, either. Her arm drops, letting him in closer. Trying to get him to look at her, she touches him lightly on the shoulder. "Guess so. I'm not going anywhere, though. And I definitely don't feel abandoned."

Her scarab is... doing its best. Usually, no one is allowed to criticize except her—Khaji Da probably wouldn't like it if she started commenting on its performance, right? But Alice is already exhausted.

"Yeahhh... I missed out on a lot of training from early on... Apparently I'm 'too defiant.' " So she wouldn't respond to Peacemaker super well, although her technique is not great. "Thank you."

Another wave of heat washes over her, flushing out toxins before the internal mending can start. Alice lets her eyes close, breathing through it. Shakily, but deeply. "It's normal. This rate of healing. For us. Can—Can Khaji Da stop scanning us? It's kind of interfering."

[bluebeadle]

“Sorry, did I bring down the vibe for the woman who is near mortally wounded?” he asked with a ghost of a smile. He was making too much of this; he'd seen more than his share of heroes injured in action. Jaime always thought that he'd eventually become desensitized to it. Yet, every single time, he was the one worrying too much about his friends getting harmed in the thick of it. So sure that he could have taken more punishment because Khaji would heal him better.

Shoulders shrug. “At the time, I sorta had to accept whatever help was being offered, given everything going on. We also had to deal with the entire deal of him having all the scarab programming in his head. Safe to say, it was a messy situation for a high schooler to deal with alone.”

“Khaj,” he muttered in a disapproving tone. To which, the scarab immediately recognized the request and ceased its scans, for the time being. Though it was planning to continue later, as long as it wouldn't affect the healing rate of their partners. “You're good now.”

[livingsymbol]

“ BULLSHIT, NO WAY is that true. ” it was definitely true. “ alright, fuck it, whatever. did you know that their one of the most anxious animals on the planet? they need, like, xanax or something. ”

[bluebeadle]

“ CHEETAHS ARE KNOWN for being so nervous that some zoos have gotten them literal support dogs in captivity. Cows aren't known to be that nervous of a species, I don't think. ” Where did this guy get his facts from?

[psionicburst]

“ THAT'S MORE REASSURING that you know. some days it feels like no one needs me. ”

[bluebeadle]

“Find it hard to believe that there is often a time when no one needs you. Between heroing and family, sometimes it gets tiring feeling needed.”

[ladybrohawkeye]

"Oh my god." She leans back from her concerned posture and shoves his shoulder. "Nevermind, you can choke actually."

Contrary to her words though, she reaches out to feel the bump on his head. "Doesn't your alien bug tech do something about this?"

[bluebeadle]

“Joke joke! Don't go pushing me around too much while my head is throbbing.” He snickers before flinching at her touch. That bump was still tender.

“It will, give it a sec to catch up. Been expending a lot of energy today, so it needs to recoup.”

[ladybrohawkeye]

"I have no idea what you're talking about." When he immediately concedes to her favor she grins, hooking her arms around his shoulders just in case. "I'm always serious, Mr. blue bug man."

Maybe it says something about her that she isn't really afraid when the suit grows a pair of wings and takes off, about her level of trust. When he sets her down she glances around, humming in thought. "Graffiti is cool and food trucks are absolutely on my life of favorite things, so I'll give youuuuuu-" She pauses for dramatic effect, "B+. If I gave you some cash would you pick some food up from down there for us? I'll give you a five star uber rating and a tip."

[bluebeadle]

“Like always, I'm underappreciated.” He grumbled at her less than A+ grading. He'd taken her to a spot with a great view, pleasant music, and the smell of amazing food wafting up from below. B+ his butt.

“Now not only am I regular Uber, but I'm Uber Eats, too? How low a guy will stoop when a girl is asking him for favors in a sweet enough voice, caray.” Jaime had already sat down to take in the view, deciding which one of the trucks below was catching his interest over the rest based solely on his nose alone. Plenty of options today. “You don't even know what's down there.”

[ladybrohawkeye]

"I have no idea what you're talking about, I would never do such a thing."

Okay, so she absolutely has done such a thing, but right now that isn't the case! "Can't a girl just hang out with her favorite alien armor buddy? With no string attached at all?"

[bluebeadle]

“Mhmmm.” Jaime didn't believe for a millisecond that she wouldn't do just that on a busy day. “Just suspicious that you told me to come over so outta the blue, is all.”

“You didn't have to use food to lure me here if all you wanted to do was hang, y'know? Not that I'm complaining.”

like for a lyric based one liner.

[bluebeadle]

jaime, what do you like about freeze girl?

“ Have you not met her? ” Serious question, he was certain that the things that drew him to her were universal. “ @freezegirl ... she's the sweetest person that I know. Emotionally, she's just so damn strong. Can you imagine the strain put on someone by powers that prevent them from touching, probably 98% of people in the world, likely including members of their own family, and yet they are still somehow this amazing human being? Graceful too; if you've never seen her ice skating, then you've really deprived yourself of something amazing. ” He should stop now, right? Jaime's already done a ton of talking. “ I can find a lot of other reasons, honestly, and take up more and more of your time. She's great, that's all you need to know. ”
