Buck: *Holding a Fire Grenade* This here is my favourite piece of firefighting equipment. It's cal-
School Child: You've said that about every single thing you've shown us so far.
Buck: Said what?
School Child: That the thing is your favourite. You can only have one favourite thing. That's, like, the definition of "Favourite".
Buck: Says who? I can have more than one favourite thing. Anyway, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. This is called a Fire Grenade. Despite its name, it actually stops fires when it explodes rather than starting them...
Fable superhero au with reporter!Ven x superhero!Icarus
The cities favorite Golden Child superhero and their favorite journalist
Do you see my vision (bonus thoughts under the cut)
them getting teased by both superhero and newspaper coworkers about it and both insisting that it is a strictly professional, business relationship!totally and completely! No buts about it!
(Everyone still thinks they're hooking up regaurdless)
(They're not wrong i mean what who said that wind is crazy today haha)
Also I wanna throw Ari in there somehow because, um, shock wow I REALLY like the coworkers
Icarus is a corporate sponsorsed superhero. We all know this. Fables corporation, founded by fable aka a super powerful former hero, has their own little hero, Icarus, whos identity is not a secret.
Now, part of me is saying they have bird wings and that is they power but also consider they do not use superpowers and use mechanical wings and honey lemon from big hero six style "potions". The public thinks they just didn't inherit any power from fable and uses them as an example of "oh anyone who has enough determination and wants to help people can be a hero!"Which who knows maybe they do have powers actually but they are VERY VERY dangerous and volatile bc quixis.
Ven works for the city newspaper that is probably owned by Fable because most major things in the city would be at that point, and had been writing articles basically making Fable look really good and sweeping bad things under the rug. Journalistic integrity for them has basically gone out the window now that Fable is the one choosing who gets hired and paying peoples bills.
For fun, I think Ari could be Icarus's 'guy in the chair' not because she wants to or she's good at it pre because she chose it but because Fable needed somewhere to put her.
personally i enjoy getting into philosophical debates online especially on instagram because it means that when someone brings up my age to imply that my views mean less because i have spent less time alive, i always get to go well you sound like a fucking dick dude. bye. i have teen girl shit to go do. like damn dude you want to bring up hitler in a debate that has nothing to do with the holocaust? and when i’m like dude i’m jewish please stop using my peoples genocide as a political pawn and you’re like well i could be considered disabled as a result of this surgery. well i’m sorry about that. have you considered not bringing up hitler? you, a grown ass adult male? anyways, i have teen girl shit to go do. i have to figure out what to wear to my winter formal that i look good in but doesn’t violate the dress code. byeeee <3
low key can’t wait until some of you all grow up and realize that calling these 18/19 year olds “kids” or “boys” or whatever really isn’t unreasonable at all
