FLAME ON !

" We're the Fantastic Four. We're so used to saving the universe, we think we can fix anything. Or anyone. Sue, we might not have the skill set to deal with this, maybe once... We should look things straight in the eye and admit we need help."

► HEADCANONS/FUN FACTS

he’s a bath bomb guy.

he is the best uncle to franklin and valeria, the fun uncle if you will. he’s constantly taking them to the arcade, to coney island, the beach, etc. anything to be cooler than ben.

he’s incredibly close with his sister; he’d move mountains for her, he became the sun for her.

after his experience in battleworld AND after being stuck with his flame perpetually on, he’s much more hesitant to flame on in situations that don’t necessarily need it.

he’s a bit of a cartoon snob. the simpsons is a cultural touchstone, though.

his favorite actor is daniel day lewis. he cried while watching lincoln.

he loves spicy food.

despite what many may think, he is an avid reader. he’s really into tom clancy’s stuff, but because he’s so active and rarely ever sits down with a physical book, he mainly listens to them as audiobooks.

► WANTED CONNECTIONS

ben grimm & reed richards ( 616 ) - the other half of the fantastic four franklin or valeria storm-richards ( 616 ) - his shithead niece and nephew whom he loves dearly

“Please tell me that you didn’t enter the Sanctum Sanctorum to discuss the Simpsons.”

“c’mon, strange — you’re telling me you don’t have one single guilty pleasure show?”

destroyrofworlds​:

“Wait, for real?” Dumb adult cartoons were definitely a guilty pleasure of Daisy’s, and there was no shame there. It was nice to turn her brain off every once in awhile.

“yeah, it’s kinda wild — it’s like the longest running scripted tv show of all time or something,” johnny shrugged, as if he wasn’t one hundred percent aware of that title and how deserving the show was of it.

“i don’t think we’ve met, have we? i’m johnny,” he gave a two finger salute, the tips of both fingers aflame like a newly lit candle.

@torchd​​

God, she had missed him. Even though the sun had burned brighter in the sky, the last two years had been some of the dimmest that Susan Von Doom had ever lived through. Her world was composed of family. There was her husband ( as busy as he was ) and the two children that they had made. There was her brother, the hot head she had almost raised. Susan would have traded all of Latverion to keep the people she loved safe; a strong maternal instinct had long been humming through her bones. As long as she had her family, she could handle the pressure that came with being the wife of the God Emperor. 

Then, it happened.

There were days when Sue wanted to shake Johnny by the shoulders. There were certain people you stood up to and her husband was not one of them. It didn’t matter if it was stupid or unfair. Victor had already cast his vote alongside Maximus Boltagon and that’s all that mattered. Crystal had been lost the second he had done so and Johnny – god, Johnny – had been stupid to fight back. Victor hadn’t been cruel enough to order her brother to death; he had listened to Susan’s pleas and acquiesced slightly. Johnny would be punished, yes, but Susan would be the one to pick it. It was as if Victor was punishing her for daring to stick up for her brother. 

What followed was cruel and unusual punishment. A two year tour of the sky as the sun. Every day Susan felt Johnny’s light shine on her face and resisted the urge to cry. Valeria and Franklin didn’t understand why their father would do something like that, but a God Emperor’s actions never needed to be explained or justified. They simply were. The punishment was never meant to last forever, though. Johnny would be let down from the sky and returned as he was. It went without saying that he and Crystalia were to have no contact; should the two ever attempt to abscond the punishment would not only be severe but would fall on both this time. Besides, two years was long enough to secure Amaquelin in the Monarchy of M, wasn’t it? She wouldn’t come around to put Johnny in danger again.

The siblings were currently seated in one of the Von Doom’s parlors. Valeria and Franklin weren’t present, and Susan instead had been left with time to tend to Johnny. There had been a lot of silence and a fair amount of tears. What did she say after so long had passed? How could she apologize for what she had been forced to do? The heat radiated off of Johnny and warmed Susan’s side. She had been sitting with her head on his shoulder when she sat up abruptly. 

“Johnny,” her brows were furrowed. “You don’t have to right now, but I hope you know you can talk to me about this. It doesn’t matter that Victor’s my – Victor doesn’t matter.” Did Susan love her husband? She felt as if she had. She must have at one point, right? Why else would they be married. The love she had for him was far overshadowed by what she felt for her family. 

“I just want you to be okay.”

johnny was quiet, stoic; more-so than his usual self — but perhaps that usual self was now gone.

he wanted to talk to his sister, wanted to let go of the cacophony of thoughts and emotions bouncing around in his head, but he was numb — so incredibly numb. if he could sit here in silence, he would.

silence wasn’t something he was particularly uncomfortable with, especially after the last two years. being stuck as the sun, one might assume, is a chaotic, roaringly loud experience.

but you can never prepare for the vast, suffocating silence of space, and the crippling loneliness that accompanies it.

susan’s words echoed through his mind as she spoke, and the sobering remembrance that they were in victor’s house, victor’s quarters, hit johnny like a gut punch before he finally decided to speak up.

“—- why are you still here, sue. with him- ? did these last two years mean nothing to you?” his tone was flat and not particularly accusatory, but his words were saturated in betrayal.

@amaqvelins​

it was a chilly fall day, but johnny was like a walking space heater — quite literally.

he was pleasantly surprised that crystal had agreed to let him join her and luna on their visit to the park as well, but he wasn’t about to ruin their day with whatever old, dredged up feelings were weighing on his mind.

that wasn’t fair.

luna skipped between the two of them as they walked, one hand in johnny’s, the other in her mother’s. every few steps they would lift, sending her flying, laughter echoing through the leaves.

after luna landed a jump inside a particularly substantial leaf pile, johnny’s gaze met crystal’s and he offered up a hopeful smile. they had reached their destination and he immediately made a beeline for the nearest bench as luna ran off to examine some particularly vibrant leaves. sitting down with a groan, he glanced back at crystal with an amused grin.

“— god this weather’s got me creaking like an antique chair.”

[torchd]

“oh fuck yes–– the simpsons is still on the air.”

invisibilias​:

“No, we’re not.” Susan dropped the mug of tea off in front of Johnny. Black, three sugars. The same way she’d made it for years before it had happened. “We’re also not going to talk about the fact that something may be seriously wrong in Latverion. Cool? Cool.” 

“is this one of those moments where — thank you,” he accepted the tea with a gracious nod before raising a hand to point at his sister, brow furrowed in slight annoyance, “ — where you try to reverse psychology me? not gonna work, sue - i’m not drunk enough for that right now.”

[torchd]

amaqvelins​:

“It feels like something we should talk about, but okay. We can skip it. You look… well.”

“yeah, lets,” johnny grinned, forcing a smile and brushing it off. he could deal with this some other time –– when he was alone, and with a bottle of something. “thanks,” he shrugged, a more genuine smile creeping onto his face this time, “you do too, crys.”

[torchd]

" – so we're just not gonna talk about any of that, cool? cool."

← ONCE THERE WAS AN IDEA TO BRING TOGETHER →

After being stuck with his flame on, it feels pretty damn good to be normal again. Johnny’s grateful that they were able to cure his conditions and get his abilities under control because he didn’t think it possible to live that way longterm. Now, it’s back to business with the Fantastic Four. He’s working on getting over Kaila and moving on, which can be easier said than done. Johnny Storm’s not new to the game, however. He has his family and a hell of a lot of friends. For now, that’s all he needs.

←  A GROUP OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY →

✗ SUSAN STORM (616) practically raised Johnny after their mother died and their father checked out. Sue did her best, but she was still growing up as well. It was Sue who introduced Johnny to Reed and started the spiral that would end with them getting their powers. Johnny doesn’t blame Reed or Sue for what happened. It’s a challenge, sure, but he likes being the Human Torch. The two siblings remain incredibly close and Johnny definitely considers himself the funkle ( fun uncle ) to Valeria and Franklin.

✗ KAILA (616) was Johnny’s soulmate, and that’s why he let her go. There’s a lot of women Johnny has been with, but what he had with Kaila was special. If he’s learned anything, however, is that he shouldn’t pull her down with him. He gave her and Citadel his blessing to be together even though it hurt. Now, in the aftermath of the relationship, Johnny’s slowly getting over it.

← COULD BECOME SOMETHING MORE  →

✗ THE FANTASTIC FOUR → They’re not just a team, they’re family – literally. The Fantastic Four has come pretty far from the scientists ( and Johnny ) who were given powers in an accident. They’ve had kids, grown, struggled and learned a lot of lessons. Even if they have disagreements ( as families tend to do ), the so-called first family of superheroes is one of the strongest teams out there.

✗ OTHER AFFILIATIONS– n/a
