Where are you, Rumiko?

Imagine at this, Simon and Jack don't talk to each other because Jack knows about Simon reputation at school and so on while he keeps his distance, they have the same class together which is chemistry.

Of course Simon is failing chemistry, and Simon needs to pass this class if he wants to graduate and so the teacher decide to place Jack and Simon together. Telling them that Jack would tutor Simon so he can bring his grades up.

Now Jack doesn't want to be a tutor towards Simon because of how monotone he is and doesn't seem interested in learning, let alone learning about his reputation about being a bad boy, while Simon on the other hand doesn't want to be near Jack (for obvious reason, because he good boy and girls are flocking over to him so a study lesson) But alas their hands are tied, It would be awkward just neither of them saying anything while working on the chemistry assignments. 

Of course Jack would get annoyed with Simon because he doesn't seem to care (in his eyes) and Simon would get annoyed with Jack because he doesn't understand a single thing. Which would cause them to butt heads with each other, and steer clear away from one another with how much they annoy one another, or at the very least annoy each other. But it'll get to a point where Simon grade is dropping drastically in his chemistry class and he has to bite the bullet and ask Jack for help. Which Jack wouldn't want to do it but he does help in the end. 

Though it would be a slow development between them, just studying during lunch time at the library or in the hallway, even to the point of after school activities, where they slowly go to cafes for their study lessons or their homes as well, they start to enjoy each other presence. (Even though Jack doesn't like riding with Simon on his motorbike) Anyways they soon actually start to become study partners in the end, but maybe become something more with a little bit of flirting here and there. (From either Simon or Jack)

And soon after, Jack tests Simon on his knowledge for an upcoming test/exam and Simon is so nervous and scared that he tells Jack what if he fails to which Jack would respond with he won't. Only for Simon to say how does he know and his answer?

"Because I trust you, we've studied and practice for this. I have faith in you. You've got this, I believe in you."

And so when the test/exams begin Simon is nervous at first because people are whispering that he's not gonna pass and so on. But he takes the test and does everything down to the tea while double checking his work while being anxious. So he hands in his worksheet and the rest he'll have to wait. Then the next day from the exam/test, everyone is seeing their grades while Simon is with Jack looking for his grade and Simon is freaking out until Jack find out his grade and the moment of truth is that Simon actually passed. They just both cheer with excitment and hug each other...Maybe Simon kisses Jack or Jack kisses Simon, maybe both of them kiss 👀

Its awkward when they realise what they've done but they just smile looking away bashfully although they won't mind being study partners, but more over they've gotten used to one another. (I have no idea what I'm saying at this point TvT)

This idea, of Simon being rebellious, got deliciously out of hand and I'm fascinated.

I think it would be great if, in the process of getting to know (and hate) each other, they both discovered things that destroyed the cruel ideas they had about one another.

I can perfectly imagine Jack thinking, "This guy... Absolutely indecisive, with no purpose in life, doesn't think about anything, he's just a brainless freeloader." All so that Simon can later demonstrate genuine activism and a desire for justice. Jack would be surprised, somewhat captivated, but his ego would prevent him from acknowledging that, and he would simply maintain that passive-aggressive tone, he would tell him it's not a big deal.

On the other hand, Simon would believe that Jack is an arrogant boy who looks down on others because of his wealthy background and good grades, All so that, to his surprise, Jack would ask him to take him to a party. I imagine Jack there, drunk for the first time, confessing the pressure he feels, his longing for freedom, his need for explore.

I don't know, I'm imagining a lot of cute scenes with the two of them.

I like the idea, too, of Simon giving Jack a ride on his motorbike. I can just imagine our poor boy trembling, his face buried in Simon's leather acket, scared to death.

ALSO, WOULD THEY BE SUPERMEN HERE OR NOT? I imagine both of them, if they are, hiding it until something triggers them to be discovered, or I don't know.

Anyway, I LOVE THE BEAUTIFUL PLOT YOU CREATED, OH MY GOD.IT'S ABSOLUTELY SWEET, WONDERFUL, AHFHAYF. I imagine an epilogue with Simon and Jack, now adults, living together. Simon was cooking when he hears laughter in the background. There appears Jack, who was tidying his bedroom closet, laughing as he looks at an old photo album. He shows Simon pictures from their teenage years, which embarrasses Simon but makes Jack laugh.

"I can't believe everything that's happened. We've changed so much, Si".

"Don't remind me. The only thing I don't regret is asking you for help."

Jack snorts, smiling. "Don't be like that. By the way, leather jackets always looked good on you. You should wear them again."

Simon thinks for a moment and smiles somewhat mischievously. "Oh, really? You should wear those silly shirts tucked into your pants then. And those ties pulled all the way up to your neck."

Jack, expressionless. "Simon, you dress like that right now."

They both laugh, recalling anecdotes from the past. The idea that they once hated each other now fills them with a certain nostalgia.

Anyway, I'm fascinated by this idea, oh my god, it's so cute. I love these AUs that deviate from the canon (like the artist AU) because they allow us to explore very novel and sweet things.

Bonus points: Imagine Jack follows Simon because Simon has been acting weird and he's like. "Oh no...He's doing some illegal." Only to find out that Simon is volunteering at an animal shelter or just feeding a few strays which Jack catches him. Like:

"You know instead of sneaking off and looking like a criminal, you should have told me what your doing. But from what I can see if that, you don't wanna ruin you bad boy status" He says while having a lopsided grin, just starting Simon, seeing him get all flustered.

It would be so wholesome that Jack see's this but Simon's embarrassment because Jack caught him and wants to crawl in a hole and wither away.

Imagine at this, Simon and Jack don't talk to each other because Jack knows about Simon reputation at school and so on while he keeps his distance, they have the same class together which is chemistry.

Of course Simon is failing chemistry, and Simon needs to pass this class if he wants to graduate and so the teacher decide to place Jack and Simon together. Telling them that Jack would tutor Simon so he can bring his grades up.

my Gazerbeam redesign 💖

he's just a silly guy!!!! i also do have HCs!!

• Owns a 1960 Lincoln Continental III [in the color black]

• Also has a motorbike, though Jackson considers that thing a death trap and refuses to ride on it with him!!

• Finds Jack VERY socially exhausting to be around, but it's welcomed and appreciated. [In turn, Jack finds him to be a bore- though they have this mutual understanding of one another.]

• Outside of being a superhero and pro-bono lawyer, he enjoys crosswords and word searches. Same goes for simple tabletop games... if anyone is willing to play with him.

• Has a small collection of vintage pens!

• Keeps a list of foods and or dishes that Jack can eat. It's pinned with a magnet on his refrigerator next to a shopping list with the same things

Hear me out.

Simon Paladino, if he were a Disney princess, would be Elsa.

Imagine Simon, finally accepting to be Gazerbeam, singing Let It Go.

IT'S LITERALLY HIM.

THE CONFLICT OF FEELING SHAME AND FEAR OF HIS POWER, UNTIL HE FINALLY REVEALS HIMSELF AND MANAGES TO ACCEPT HIMSELF, DISCOVERING THAT HIS STRENGTH AND CONVICTION ARE WORTH IT.

The conflict and fear he would go through because he doesn't want to hurt anyone which probably had happen before, but Let It Go will go exactly the way you said, he would finally accept himself as Gazerbeam and also the fact he has people that care for him, which is Lucius, Bob and Jack.

And in return I do believe that Simon would also care for them as well because those three were his very first friends because Elsa did indeed care for her sister Anna so they have a tight bond and care for one another. (if that makes sense...Again sorry I'm still waking up TvT)

I have only read bits of if but I have done like one dumb little doodle 🫶🫶🫶 the idea of apogee making hot chocolate for Jack is just beautiful

Of course he's not dead but holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot wait to see what they have in store for Doom, because this is exciting!!! For many reason the reason being...He's paralyzed!!!!!! Lost the gauntlet and moreover I wonder if he knows what Vendetta is doing to Talon!

This is!! Wow!!!! I have no idea what to say but all I know is that, he'll have a rematch with Vendetta, while there's a high chance that all of Talon would watch them.

Although I do have a theory that Sombra, Widow & Reaper might find him, because those three fucked off in a hurry. Which might correlate inside to the fact that since Genji will stay with Hanzo and Kiri, the idea of Cassidy leaving Overwatch will happen and possibly Baptiste will follow him once it's revealed that Bap was once apart of Talon. (If he tells Sojourn)

It would create a new story line with Bap, Cass bumping into 76 and Illari, before crossing paths with Sombra, Widow and Reaper before they end up finding Akande or rather starting a rescue mission for Sigma.

I'm throwing things at the wall at this point, but we'll have to see where this goes, but damn...Sombra really did tell Doom that, Vendetta was coming and he needed to prepare and instead what he got in return was being tossed out the window and surviving the fall paralyzed which fucking sucks but also phantom pain when she slice off his "Arm".

And them saving Doom would certainly be interesting. He's the main villain of the game, the Megatron, the Thanos, the Doctor Doom, the Vilgax, the Garmadon. You can't help but like him as the antagonist. But compared to Vendetta, he's less of a threat. His conflict has purpose; hers is unbridled rage.

But nonetheless, it could be a cool concept to see and again it might not happen unless a new hero whether or not who they are will come across Doom and help him regain his strength or the ladder Sombra, Widow and Reaper will find him. Or it's Illari & Jack.

But I do agree that Doom is an interesting villain. I adore him, he's very I want to say straightforward, he makes his point across and won't attack/fight unless provoked.

And I can agree that Vendetta is a wonderful villain!!! She amazing but like what Moira stated, she's rushing things, while Doom waits and plans things out.

Honestly A rematch between Vendetta and Doom would be amazing and this time Akande will have prep time.
