my fear of abandonment? well that comes from my experience of being abandoned

[thefifthramone]

something about Tommy Shepherd thinking everything bad that happens in his vicinity is his fault and Teddy Altman having attachment issues and both of them having a (probably) unhealthy bond to Billy. Something about Billy being the only one of the three of them who can walk away from a fight injured. Something something angst and bonding because they're both so terrified about him not being able to walk away after a battle and trying to be very normal about their terror. I'm not 100 % sure where this is going but I'm sure y'all see the vision

Someone return him to David.

Tommy, the only way they're going to bring that ego of yours down is by beating the crap out of you BECAUSE YOU'RE WAY TOO OP AND THEY HAVE TO NERF YOU! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, KING!!!

No but fr, everytime Tommy gets a little cocky he always gets humbled immediately 💔💔 likeee omfg let him show off a little, damn 😭

Oh my god

[vastvastvast]

Sigh. Thinking a lot rn about when Allan Heinberg (author of Children’s Crusade, coauthor of the Young Avengers) specifically described Tommy in an interview as “every bit as sensitive” as Billy is and that the only real difference between them is that Tommy has “learned to protect himself” because of his past. Like okay gut me why don’t you. Tell me how Tommy is, deep down, every bit as kind and gentle and emotional as Billy except he is not like Billy because he has walled off that part of himself in a desperate attempt never to be hurt again. I just. Oh

Tommy literally never appears, so who knew he was still in contact with Kate. Nice to see that even if not a team, the Young Avengers are still a family

Maximoff family dynamics, they could never make me hate you.

i do usually hate when writers have sibling characters call each other “bro” or “sis” but for tommy shepherd it actually makes perfect sense. imagine you’re an only child with terrible parents and Bonus Trauma for sixteen years and then you suddenly have an identical twin kind-of-brother and now you have to like. interact with him. but you’re terrible at expressing emotions and have no idea what to do with family. i know this boy took .2 seconds to go “this is probably what siblings call each other right. cool.” and never looked back

↝ @hexsreality ┊ "who did this?"

If there was one habit Tommy couldn't quite kick, it was getting into unnecessary fights. He had never known exactly when to stop taunting and talking back to others; It had gotten him into trouble in juvie and it got him into trouble now.

He bristled a little at the concern in Wanda's voice, turning his face away from her to try and conceal his split lip and his black eye. It was no use, the bruise stuck out in a vibrant contrast to the silver hair that fell into his face.

"You should see the other guy-?" He started, quickly losing confidence in the statement as Wanda turned a disapproving frown towards him.

"Look, I got a little carried away. It doesn't really matter who it was, it won't happen again."

The lie came embarrassingly easily. It absolutely would happen again, especially knowing his inability to stop talking when he needs to.

i mean billy’s not complaining!

accepting tiddy commissions

↝ @billyandhismultiples ┊ "who did this?"

Tommy let out a hollow laugh, pointing to the large black eye spreading across the side of his face. "Oh, this thing? You should see the other guy-"

It was a little bit of a deflection. In reality, he had gotten too cocky again and paid the price for underestimating his opponent.

[vastvastvast]

truly a team of people who are all completely fine and healthy and normal

[gimmespeed]

↝ @alphafight ┊ "no, tommy, mon grand. i will not race you to australia and back. i'll take the loss in that bet and treat you to whatever sweets and pastries you want, it'll be more efficient that way. for you and me."

"ha! so you admit that you'd lose! I knew it-!" He exclaimed, grinning widely. "it'd be so fun though, so why not? are you really that boring? or just old?"
