Watched Blue Beetle Showcase

As u can see I really liked it

nothing especially interesting sorry but i keep thinking about how when Ted talks to Vic about Dan in L.A.W. that's literally one of the only two times i can remember Ted opening up like that about his feelings. and the other time was to Booster about being reminded of his own moms death when Max was in the hospital. and Vic said he didn't even know who Dan was but he just let Ted talk and was there for him. they make me crazy they really truly do.....

OHHH MAN well here are some i've thought up thus far. i'm going to warn you that i admittedly know more about Ted than i do Vic since i've just read a lot more Ted focused stuff. so i apologize if the characterization feels off. nevertheless i hope they're to your liking anon..

- Ted is a lot more physically affectionate than Vic is. this doesn't mean Vic at all minds the affection though. Ted will do a lot of casually leaning on Vic or putting his arm around him and neither of them will really acknowledge it and just keep talking like normal. this happens before they get together too i think, with extra emphasis on neither of them really acknowledging it

- i said this in another post but Ted would 100% bug Vic into doing the upside down kiss from Spider-Man (2002) with him. he already has a habit of hanging upside down from stuff and he's too geeky not to.

- i feel like their relationship would be a long slowburn. both in terms of the feelings developing and the time it takes for them to actually get together... i think Vic had a sudden "oh. i am in love with him aren't i." moment where it just abruptly clicked in his head. probably after spending a long night trying to puzzle out wtf was going on in his own mind. while for Ted he can't really name a specific moment where he realized it; his feelings just grew until he couldn't Not notice it anymore.

- following that up, i like to think they both already had feelings for each other by the time the events of L.A.W. occurred, though hadn't realized it - Vic is one of very few people that Ted has confided in like that in any comic (and i can't recall any other time where he fully opened up about his feelings about Dans death like that), and i think the concern Vic shows him throughout the comic and the freakout he has when he thinks Ted is dead is notable. so please imagine Peacemaker having to deal with their romantic tension that they don't even seem to notice.

- you know how Ted calls Vic 'Q' (short for Question obviously). well after Vic finally reveals his secret identity to him i think Ted starts calling him V when they're hanging out as civilians together. i have no justification for this beyond i think it'd be cute

- Ted is consistently shown to be kind of obnoxiously flirtatious with people he's interested in/people he's dating. of course this does not stop with Vic, whether they're in their civilian or superhero identities. he is only spurred on when Vic tells him to knock it off while they're actively investigating something/fighting people lmao. he loves mildly annoying him

- this one is already pretty much canon but. although Ted and Vic do have a funnyman/straightman dynamic going on, Vic can easily match his humor and they riff off of each other very well. see: in Teds 1986 solo, like 5 minutes after they first met they already were literally finishing each others sentences

- Vic canonically will go days without sleeping just so he can do more superheroing. and while i think it's only mentioned maybe offhandedly once or twice i imagine Ted is very much the same way, both in regards to superheroing and his day job. they both try and convince the other to stop that, fully knowing they're being hypocritical. post-getting together once they are both too exhausted to function they'll just kind of pass out together at home. it's almost sweet
