Constructed Burgers.

"Is there any way I could ask you to make a construct burger for me?"

"What a fascinating way to start a conversation." But when Hal looked at Phantom, he had to pause. For a self-proclaimed ghost, he looked a lot more worn down than usual. Kid wasn't even floating, which was highly irregular.

Phantom wasn't a kid, per se, but he was younger than most members of the Justice League. So that moniker was sticking around longer than most.

"Well- it's just-" Phantom puffed out a breath and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's not uncommon for strong spirits to... feed... on emotions."

Hal blinked. He blinked again. And then he took a breath, waiting for further explanation as Phantom ducked his head further and further down, his cheeks glowing fiercely green.

"And... you want to eat a construct burger?"

The Ghost nodded his head shyly. "If it's not too much trouble." And then the nervous rambling started as the kid pulled off his gloves and wrung them slowly between his hands.

"I've been having a bit of an off week, and my mentor said I should ask. But he's kind of a yeti, so I'm not sure if that's a quirk of his species or if all ghosts can do it. He told me I could and that it'd be good for my core if I did intake some external emotion because he said I was constantly feeding on myself. And that's kind of a form of autocannibalism, which I can only do because I'm kind of a really weird ghost who formed weird through-"

"Kid, you don't have to explain your whole life story to me. My only question is, why me?"

"We've been on a few missions together, and every time I see your construct, I get hungry. I was hoping I'd feel a little less weird if it was burger-shaped instead of trying to take a bite out of a wrecking ball or something." Phantom was glowing green again, running a nervous hand through fluffy white hair.

"Say no more. I got you, kiddo." Hal chuckled as he held out a hand with a green semi-transparent burger on it, watching Phantom's eyes dilate and track it like a cat with catnip. His nose even twitched.

Phantom's eyes rapidly moved between him and the burger as he moved to grab it, as though making sure that Hal wouldn't take it back or something. And Hal, well, he could freely admit that he was curious to see how this would work.

To say he was surprised when the construct buns squished between Phantom's hands like bread would be an understatement. And then when Phantom took a bite out of it and it deformed and tore gently instead of shattering like glass.

Hal needed to look into this.

"Oh Heavyyyy~ look at my new shirt!" 😗

Based on a horrible, horrible gag gift shirt I saw on fb marketplace XD - if for whatever reason the image quality tanks, the shirt says "My Mental Health Isn't Great - But My Tits Are!"

Best part about Tenna winning is that its thematically relevant to his character arc

adrian + special interests…

a/n: didn’t know if i was gonna write anything for s2 as i haven’t really written since, but here we are, im back bitchesssss, have some juicy headcanons:

so adrian’s talked a lot about how his special interest is owls

and spiders. and crows. and dolphins and rays and animals, etc etc etc

in my heart of hearts, it’s because he finally did a little self-exploration (googled ‘autism test’) and learned about special interests, at which point he immediately decided ‘I NEED ONE!’

so he chose animals. totally nothing to do with eagly…. he hasn’t even mentioned eagles, sooooo idek where you got that idea from……

it took adrian a little while to figure out that just because you say you know a lot about something, doesn’t mean you do know a lot about something

at first he could just brush it off. who the fuck else would know that owls’ eyes are tubes?? that’s dumb!

but after another lost battle (losing to un-checked animal facts from wikipedia half-heartedly read out by economos, that is), adrian showed up at your doorstep looking like a kicked puppy

(don’t ask adrian what kind of puppy, he’d probably say a coyote or something)

“adrian, what’s wrong?”

“i’m fucking stupid!” he’d sulk, dramatically slapping his feet on the floor as he stomps into your house and flops down on your couch, immediately hugging a pillow for comfort,

“everyone’s got their thing that they’re really smart at, like chris at everything, and economos with computers, and emilia at scaring men, or ads at having a kind and sensitive heart. but i didn’t even know that owls’ eyes are tubes!”

“whoa, slow down, th-“

“THEIR EYES ARE FUCKING TUBES, DUDE! AND I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW!” he’d yell, shaking you by the shoulders the second you sat beside him

“you’re upset because owls eyes are tubes?”

“YES… no… UGH!”, adrian slams his body against the back of the couch and hunches over the pillow being held in a vice grip,

“i just… i like animals, so i thought i’d be good at knowing a lot about them, but i’m not! i suck!”

you purposefully, but gently, place your hand on the couch, a comfortable few centimetres away from his knee

“well, have you practiced?”

“huh?” adrian asked, head lifting from the pillow for a moment to look up at you with confused, glassy eyes

“have you practiced? like, have you, y’know, studied any particular topics, or researched any animal facts or anything?”

adrian slouches further into the couch with a huff, burying the bottom two thirds of his face in the very wrinkled pillow save his Very furrowed brows

“…no…”

“hmm?” you asked softly, the tiniest tone of amusement and ‘i-told-you-so’ slipping from your tongue as you lean towards him with a raised brow

adrian lets out the most dramatic sigh ever to have been sighed before and peeps his head over the pillow only for a moment to answer,

“no!”

“mmhmm,” you reply smugly, “and how do you think john got so good with computers, huh?”

adrian blinks at you

“practice” you answer

another dramatic sigh from behind the pillow

“or how em got so good at scaring men?” you ask, slapping your other hand onto your knee, “practice!”

“how do you think lee got such a wise and kind-“

“-and sensitive!” adrian chimes in

“-yes, and sensitive heart, hmm?”

“…practice…” adrian acquiesces,

“and how chris got so great at everything?” adrian asks, finally starting to sit up a little straighter, the pillow being placed aside

“…i think thats mostly just male audacity and blind, dumb, stupid luck…” you answer honestly

“yeah…” adrian agrees dreamily, a much fonder tone than yours paints his answer

“well then, there’s only one thing for it!” you resolve, the hand that was resting next to adrian on the couch finally finding its home cupped over adrian’s kneecap

“keep lying in a really confident tone and hope people believe me and/or hope they only ask animal quiz questions i know the answer to?”

“what? no! adrian, wh- no!”

with the look he gives you, you swear you can hear the rocks rattling around in his beautiful, curly, empty head

“practice! jesus, i’m gonna go find some flashcards and some markers and we’re gonna practice until you do know some animal facts. some true ones. and no more facts about tubular eyes” you decree, only managing to stand for a moment before you’re awkwardly pulled sideways into a rib-cracking hug

adrian leverages you with his own body, his cheek smushed into your shoulder as he lifts you off the ground and spins you around, your feet awkwardly knocking against the couch and the coffee table with each spin

adrian finally places you back down but doesn’t let go, using this moment to enjoy the closeness of your faces as he looks you dead in the eye

“now there’s only one thing that explains how you got so amazing” he says, green eyes twinkling up at you

“practice?”

“your mom.”

“ADRIAN!” you scold, sensing nothing but a sharp pinch on the side of your ass and a blur of his green jumper as he dashes around the corner and out of sight

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance—whether the original agrees or not…

jupixturnus cuddles <3

look at them allll aweeeeeee 🥹 awweeee 🥹 they so cute 🥹

Individual posts here: 1/2/3/4/5/6

This was super fun to do. I drew a bunch of poses a week ago and i didn’t think I would actually draw over them but I found motivation from who knows where and actually posted them yippie!! Ive also gained many hcs while drawing these so. Enjoy!! 🙂‍↕️

jupixturnus hcs!! All sleep themed

X sleeps like someone’s gonna steal his partners in his sleep bro he latches onto people with fucking death grips.

Jupiter is the resident teddy bear he’s so used to just scooping people up or holding hands or linking arms or wtv. Uranus and X are the touch-starved members and they’re so not used to it from saturn and Jupiter.

Jupiter likes sleeping curled up. It makes him feel safe. (OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM IM SOBBING.)

Planet X doesn’t like sleeping in the middle ever, he prefers to keep a side open at all times if possible. (Leftover trust issues much?)

Saturn likes holding people. Having an arm around someone or holding them in his arms is just his natural state of being.

Uranus, being the smallest, is the resident starfish sprawler. He just sleeps on top of everyone liek a janga pile.

uranus and jupiter sleep with socks on. i dont have a reason for this it just makes sense to me.

jupiter sleeps like the dead. Completely still and completely quiet. He’s not really a light sleeper tho, he’s very used to sleeping with lots of noise and movement (being so close to the rocky planets and stuff).

Saturn is a light sleeper. He’s also a lounger and takes up a surprising amount of space hehehe. He’s a light snorer and the others find it to be the cutest thing in the world

Uranus moves around in his sleep a lot and is one of the heaviest sleepers of the bunch, he’s notorious for sleeping in. He also sleep talks occasionally but it’s always the most random shit

X is a very light sleeper, can only sleep in total silence and total darkness, and is very sensitive to movement around him. He doesn’t move around a whole lot, he does sleep talk a little bit but not as much as uranus.

Jupiter and X have the worst bed head ever. Jupiter bc his hair naturally curls and he does nottttt take care of it properly, and X bc he’s not used to brushing his hair in general so it just gets worse every time he sleeps on it.

Saturn claims he’s never had bed head in his life. He’s lying. (He also has really bad bed head he just pretends he doesn’t lmao)

Uranus wakes up mogging everyone his hair is at its best when he’s just woken up.

jupiter and X are the early risers, saturn and uranus are the ones that sleep in for hours

Jupiter is addicted to coffee someone get this man away from the coffee machine rn.

Uranus stays up the latest usually. His sleep schedule is so jacked, he’s got that artist motivation that keeps him up at night. He’s totally a night owl.
