teeh's swamp

im drying up out here like its not even bc of the angst that i need it, its just because its so so SO interesting as a somewhat psychological horror type thing.

like tell me you’re not interested about what is going on in supes head when he kills billy, or what billy is thinking, or EVEN what mary is thinking and she isn’t even there.

like you could even throw in sunny for good measure, how would he react when he learns that his old friend billy has died? it was already a shock hearing that fawcett’s local hero joined the regime, even more to find out that it was one of sunny’s friends.

how does freddy react after billy died because of supes after freddy said he was against it in the first place? would he regret not convincing billy enough? or would he think that it was billy’s own choice that caused his death and not feel guilty, just grief that billy had died in the first place? (reference to that one panel where freddy is captured by regime because he was protesting against it, which i think is a thing but i forgot so dont take my word for it)

does superman genuinely think that he was in the right for killing billy, or was it the heat of the moment? in the chance that it was in the heat of the moment, does he convince himself that he is right, that billy was a casualty of war to avoid the regret that came along from his actions?

and dont EVEN get me started on mary’s reaction, imagine the long lost brother that you’ve been missing for your whole life is taken away from you just a few months/years after you found him. did mary already know that it was going to end badly by seeing how much worse the regime got, or did she just trust billy to handle everything?

You’re all I need.”

“Surely, he’ll listen.. After all, I’m the only one he can count on.”

Floating, bouncing back

And one day I am gonna grow wings
