life can be so full of love when neither of you have superpowers or have committed any crimes and are not involved in any superpower-related crimes

well, you see, the dynamics of the relationship between the twins and their dads is such that jethro is the overly indulgent dad whos just happy to be here but is also overly aware of the way society will perceive them, whereas Alec is the awkward-but-loving dad-who-stepped-up who isn't self aware enough to fully avoid repeating his own parent's mistakes. simple

👑i know what they look like as regular ass people, put them in some unpractical formal wear of some royals :'D

👻alex and jethro in bad disguises pleaaase

i was eyeing 'what would they look like in a prison uniform' one but they all skirt the law too much, that feels like tempting fate or something. (do you classify as fate to your characters??) anyways there are many fun suggestions on that list i limited myself to two

Fantastic thank you! (the prison uniform thing probably is. tempting me fate a little too much.)

Blatantly using the first prompt to draw art of the fantasy AU I've half-written where Jethro is prince-regent and Alec is a wandering seer. Jethro has spent a good portion of his internal monologue complaining about how scratchy the fancy clothes he bought for himself are. Whereas Alec entered the narrative wearing the same clothes he'd been wearing for several weeks, but with an illusion spell on them to look clean.

They are trying to get into a movie theater to see a premiere on opening night. Alec heard 'assistant' and dressed as a lab assistant, but at least he put on a fake mustache. Jethro thinks all directors wear berets, based on absolutely nothing but cartoons and old movies
