marvel pride, but it’s just affronting the unspoken HORRORS only queer people with queer siblings know about (twitter) [ID in next reblog]
[ID: David Alleyne asks Billy & Tommy, “hey did you guys have the same queer awakening?” Billy scoffs, “Just because we’re twins? Come on! I mean, we didn’t even grow up together! We didn’t like, watch the same stuff or-” Tommy tries to steal Billy’s pizza, who elbows him off and uses his magic to keep the slice away from his brother, “Fuckin- get off me, you harpy!” Tommy pleas, “What’s your’s is mine, dear brother-” “My foot is about to be in your ass– Besides, out tastes are disparate.”
Tommy agrees, “Yeah. As much as I want us to be indiscernible from each other-” Billy grumbles, “Stop saying that. People are going to think you’re serious.” Tommy plows on, “We sadly have very different types. I’m not as into boy next doors’ in mid range denim.” David presses on, “So, you don’t think you have the same first gay crush?” Billy shakes his head, “Lord, no. Besides, mine is pretty weird.” Tommy nods, “Mine too, tbh. It’s-” Both boys admit at the same time, “-Tony Shalhoub in Spy Kids.”
The boys heads spin around to stare in shock at each other. Tommy gasps excited and Billy looks mortified. They start bickering instantly- Billy insists, “I don’t know who told you about that-” “Nobody, brother, we just are truly connected-” “It was America, wasn’t it!?” “We are one, brother, give me your liver!” David gestures determined, clearly confused, “Oh, okay! So we’re just moving on from the Tony Shalhoub thing that quickly, huh!?” Teddy looks a little insulted, muttering, “Mid range denim?” /END ID]
A Theory of Relativity / Tommy Shepherd and Billy Kaplan (Young Avengers) / by Aud Koch

Illustration of this meta idea: that Billy’s powers are the manipulation of energy & matter and Tommy’s powers are the manipulation of time & space. I’m gonna start calling these two the quantum physics bros!
the 2005 run of young avengers is great because vision is like “thomas shepherd is a speedster—“ and billy’s immediately just like “yeah, whatever, he sounds like a bitch” with literally zero more context
