Hii, sorry it’s been a while, I am unfortunately inbetweeen hyperfixations and it suckkkkss lol. I also haven’t been able to get my adderall refilled since December due to a mix of supply shortages and moving to a different state.

Hopefully I’ll be able to continue working on my story and finish it soon? Idk. Currently feel as though I am living in a haze, not really awake, but not dreaming either. It’s very strange, but I believe it’s because I am almost never without a fixation. Hopefully something will spark my interest soon.

Just posting this here because it was a sketch I was doing to practice adding more 3D forms and thought into my drawings and character designs. So far I’ve been lucky and my brain has been up to the challenge and it hasn’t been too overwhelming.

Ok yeah that’s not much of an update 💀 but it’s all I have for now lol.

Cheers! ~ 🥂

Kinda a more interesting post for tonight. This is a comic page mock-up that I did for the third act of my Shazam story! ^_^ ⚡️

The idea here is that this is kinda the “inside” of the spell that allows Billy to share his powers with his siblings. In this scene Billy’s has just gotten ahold of The Wizard’s staff, causing it to activate its magic. So, we see a glimpse of Billy and all his siblings starting to magically float off the ground during the final battle against Black Adam. Showing that they are being affected by a spell of some sort.

Then, suddenly Billy is transported into this “mind palace”, that is a kinda like a shared liminal space to represent the connection Billy has formed with his siblings over the course of the story. When Billy is transported here, he finds shadowy figures of his siblings standing in the middle of a black, shadowy, fog.

He quickly approaches them, scared and confused. He’s unsure of what is happening, because he’s just not that familiar with magic yet. He’s trying to talk to Freddy, and ask him for help, but Freddy is not able to respond/interact with Billy. This shadowy figure is kinda like a “placeholder” for Freddy, and the other siblings as well. So, that’s why he’s unresponsive in this scene.

However, while this spell is happening, Tawny is trying to get through to Billy. Shouting at him to say the magic word, “Shazam” and complete the spell. Then, once Billy hears Tawny’s voice echo through this liminal space, he says the magic word, completes the spell, snaps back into reality, and sees that he’s temporarily empowered his foster siblings with the powers of living lighting. Meaning, this is my introduction to the Shazamly! Yay! 🎉

Once the spell is completed these shadowy “placeholders” for his siblings will be replaced with their actual consciousness, and they’ll look like their normal selves. Meaning, that when they all are using the powers of Shazam, they’ll have a shared liminal space where they can sense each other’s connection. However, we don’t see this “setting” again for the rest of the story, because it’s not really relevant once Billy has successfully opened his heart, and shared the powers with his siblings.

It will be relevant again if/when I write more stories in this universe. But for now, I’m just focusing on Billy’s origin story and putting the Shazamly in the third act.

But yeah, I just wanted to share this little snippet from the third act of my story. I have pretty much finished outlining my first story completely. I just don’t want to post it here yet, until I’ve turned my outline into like an actual screenplay or something lol. If you’re wondering what I’ve wrote,so far, it’s basically like if the 2019 Shazam film had more of a focus on fantasy and found family, instead of a focus on horror and wish-fulfillment. Which are all good themes but, I just wanted to tell my version of this story, and double down on my favorite tropes. :^).

So if you like Shazam, fantasy, found family, or just fan made stories in general stay tuned, I should have time to format and post my story, in its entirety, pretty soon!

Enjoy~✨

Trying to re-work my Shazam character designs. Obi first up is Billy.

I didn’t want to modify them too much because I like what I’ve done so far. However, I really wanna try and them them all model sheets, so that requires a lot more focus and intention with my lineart than I’m used to lol,,,

I was also inspired to work on this today specifically because I read the new chapter. At first I thought it was gonna be the same, “Billy’s long-lost parent ruins Vasquez family adoption” plot line that the new52 had, but I was pleasantly surprised. I can’t tell which run I like better so far because like,,, I’m really confused on why Billy & the Captain are 2 different people??? I have a hard time following that part. But, I enjoy the characterization a LOT more in this one. In the new 52 Billy is a little too much of an asshole imo. 💀

Like, I think in this new Dawn of DC version of Billy would have never yelled at Darla, and wouldn’t have picked random fights with Mary. Unlike his 2013-2019 counterpart lol. I really DO like characters who are a bit jaded & a little snarky though. I guess it’s a fine line that writers have to try and not cross.

Anyways that was my little ramble. If you would like to discuss the new run with me, or maybe let me know which version of Billy you prefer both my DMs & comments are open, as always. :)

Enjoy! ~ ⚡️❤️

Some random Billy & Darla sketches tonight because I want to get more comfortable with posting unfinished art,,, 🌻🩸⚡️💜🎉

Maybe I’ll post some more sketches soon also just to practice storytelling by using my art :p yk how it is.

Okay bye!!~ ✨

Thinking of a concept,,, you know how sometimes in the Shazam/Captain Marvel stories they refer to the magic that the wizard gives Billy is called “the power of living lighting?”

Well I was thinking what if,,, possibly, maybe his “adult” form was actually composed of living light.

What does that mean? As for combat, I think it would mean that Marvel/Shazam cannot bleed. You know, because his body is not made of blood and organs; it’s made of magic lightning.

I drew a quick edit of my Shazam drawing to try and explain this lol.

I also think that if Marvel/Shazam were to take too much damage in his superhero form then his body would “poof” and force him to transform back into Billy. Who is a mortal and can bleed.

I was gonna give each member of the Shazamly a different color for their lightning emblem on their chest. I think this would indicate the color of the “light” that their body is composed of.

Billy’s chest emblem is blue so if you hypothetically chopped off his arm, you would not see blood. You would see blue light. ~✨

PLEASE let me know what you guys think about this lol this idea has been in my mind for a while now I just didn’t know how to articulate it LOL

Added Rosa to the lineup!! 🌹💕❤️

She’s such a sweet and loving mother figure to all her children and is a big believer in second chances. She’s got some pretty artsy hobbies and loves her husband Victor! :D

Also her dress? I have no idea if anything like that dress exists in real life, but I figured it would be a cute sweetheart cut neckline with a nude mesh for the long sleeves. Then the design on the skirt kinda is supposed to give a rose petal vibe to it. SooOo yeah! :D

INT. SUPERSTORE - NIGHT (YEARS AGO)

A young BILLY, no older than four, stands near a shopping cart. His mother, MARILYN, a tired woman in her early 20s, rummages through her purse as she stops pushing her cart. She glances at Billy.

MARILYN

Stay right here, baby. I'll be back in a sec.

Unbeknownst to Billy, Marilyn is a local weed dealer within her community. She begrudgingly brought Billy along for a late night “meetup” since she wasn’t comfortable leaving him home alone at his young age.

As Marilyn rushes away, Billy's attention wavers, captivated by two young children playing with action figures and dolls. Their laughter fills the aisles as they run around, screaming and cheering.

Billy walks away from his mother’s shopping cart and approaches them with wide eyes.

BILLY

Woah! What toy is that?

CHILD 1

It’s Star Commander Ultra! He’s the bravest hero in the galaxy.

The younger of the two children chime into the conversation to brag about their toy as well.

CHILD 2

Well my doll is Princess Butterfly Sparkle Glitter, and she’s the bravest and the coolest in all twelve galaxies!

CHILD 1

There’s only one galaxy, Macy.

CHILD 2

You don’t know that.

As the two children settle their differences, they agree to let Billy in on their game as they run around the store shouting and having fun.

Suddenly a mother rounds the corner and shouts for her children to come. She makes a vague comment that she’s done shopping and they’re leaving the store now. The children hurriedly say bye to Billy as they run off to go catch up with their mother.

Billy is suddenly left alone. Anxious, confused, and unable to find the shopping cart where his mother told him to stay.

Billy frantically looks around. Panic sets in as he realizes he's lost.

Billy hurriedly rounds a corner, running face first into the legs of a police officer. A young blonde woman, OFFICER LINDSAY as he falls onto the floor.

OFFICER LINDSAY

Oh, whoopsies! Haha, that’s alright bud. You okay?

Although Billy is too stunned to reply, Officer Lindsay helps Billy off the ground. Her concern deepens as she looks around the store, realizing this child is unattended. She takes it upon herself to help Billy find his mother.

As Billy and Officer Lindsay roam the store looking for Marilyn, they eventually find her in a heated discussion with some of the employees at the store, supposedly about her suspicious activities. Marilyn’s face drops, as she realizes her son is being escorted by a police officer.

As Billy runs up to his mother to give her a hug Officer Lindsay is giving Marlyn a deep, powerful scowl as they are locked eye-to-eye.

EXT. SUPERSTORE - NIGHT

As MARILYN is led away by other police officers, OFFICER LINSDAY returns to BILLY, kneeling down to his level.

OFFICER LINDSAY

Hey bud, how do you feel about coloring books? If you want we could color together in this book that I brought with me.

She pauses for a moment as Billy looks around kind of confused, supposedly unsure of where his mother is.

OFFICER LINDSAY (CON’T)

I could really use your help with coloring these tigers, if you wanted to help me out.

Billy agrees, as is unaware of the circumstances that are going on around him, but he follows Officer Lindsay’s lead as she distracts him from the situation at hand.

Officer Lindsay takes Billy's hand, leading him away from the arrest of his mother. The shouts of the night slowly blend together as we fade to the next scene. Between scenes we timeskip to ‘current day’.

INT. SOCIAL WORKER'S OFFICE - DAY

As we transition scenes the sounds of the night slowly blend together into the sound of Billy’s social worker’s voice, MRS.KELLY. She is calling Billy’s name, trying to get his attention. BILLY (14) sits in a worn office chair outside of Mrs.Kelly’s office. Arms folded, staring off into space.

MRS.KELLY

(echoing during scene transition)

Billy… Billy.

Billy lightly flinches as he snaps back into reality, realizing he is being called.

MRS. KELLY

Come on in, let's talk.

Billy haphazardly tosses his backpack onto the open chair next to him as he does some light stretching, making himself comfortable, as he is evidently in no rush to sit down.

BILLY

Ah, how could I forget, ol’ reliable. You know, instead of you guys spending all this time and money trying to put me into a foster home, I could just live here instead.

They sit across from each other, the atmosphere charged. Mrs.Kelly is clearly annoyed with his snarky tone.

MRS.KELLY

Billy, you know we're running out of options here. I’m really gonna need you to get your act together.

BILLY's eyes narrow, a trace of bitterness in his tone.

BILLY

Uh-huh.

MRS.KELLY

You already know why you’re here.

BILLY

I do.

MRS.KELLY

And you already know what I’m gonna say.

BILLY

True.

Billy loosely crosses his arms as he settles in his chair, getting ready to imitate Mrs.Kelly as they speak over each other.

BOTH

(synchronized)

That I brought you in here today to tell you that you’ve been assigned to a new foster home.

Mrs.Kelly sighs, clearly familiar with Billy’s tone.

MRS.KELLY

Look, I know it's been a tough year for you. But this time has to be different.

Mrs.Kelly shoots Billy a serious look, piercing through his playful demeanor with an authoritative gaze.

MRS.KELLY (CON’T)

This time, you've got to give them a chance.

Billy's gaze hardens, his frustration bubbling beneath the surface.

BILLY

(challenging)

A chance? How many chances do I have to give? How many "homes" will I go through before you guys actually start listening to me? I don’t need a fake family to play pretend with. I have a family, I have a mom, they’re out there, looking for me.

Mrs.Kelly's expression softens, a mix of empathy and weariness.

MRS.KELLY

Billy, We’re not going to have this discussion again, we’ve been over this. You can do whatever you want when you’re 18, but for now the state is responsible for you. Which means I’m responsible for you, and I need you to try and play along, just a little longer.

Billy's guard waivers for a moment, feeling frustrated and unheard. His snarky attitude now takes a backseat to his more quiet exterior as he momentarily exposes his feelings of rejection and helplessness.

BILLY

But I’m tired of it. I just wanna make my own decisions instead of you guys and your “agency” shoving fake families and broken homes onto me like I’m some sort of charity case.

Mrs.Kelly leans back, sighing. She knows she's dealing with a determined young man who’s clearly had a rough start to life.

MRS. KELLY

You’re not a charity case, you’re a young man. A young man with a bright future ahead of you, and we’re just trying to do what’s best for you.

Mrs.Kelly pauses to make sure she has Billy's attention despite his sudden drop in bravado.

MRS.KELLY (CON’T)

I’m trying to do what’s best for you.

Billy nods, a hint of a reluctant acknowledgment. He lets out a sharp scoff.

BILLY

Yeah, I've heard that one before too.

End. ⚡️
