plus, I’d had several jerks recently leave my life and I felt like I needed a change

[somewhere, teddy altman has jolted out of sleep in a wide-eyed panic, feeling inordinately unsettled by seventies music]

It’s weird thinking about, to be honest. When I found out I could be a superhero, I thought that it just meant saving people and making sure they were safe. I didn’t think all the way through that maybe someone would be looking up to me- let alone for just being who I am.

I’m… really glad I can help people that way, too.

[Happy holidays, everybody! Thank you to all of the people who follow ask-hulkling and all of your lovely questions and commentary. I hope you have a wonderful holiday, and to those of you who asked how Billy and Teddy were spending the holidays this year, here’s a little snippet.

Teddy doesn’t sleep on the couch, by the way, he just… fell asleep there 8|a]

Just try and take things one day at a time and don’t weigh yourself down by what other people’s standards would be for a relationship. Comparing yourselves to others will only stress you out; focus on whether YOU’RE happy. And, again: be honest with yourself.

Sometimes I just look at him and I think, man, I crushed on you for literally all of middle school.

And freshman year of high school.

[Things Teddy looks for in a boyfriend:

• Snarky, deadpan humor and wit
• Geekery
• Intellect
• Bonus if Dat Ass

Teddy’s evasive virginity giraffe was Teddy’s 100th post! party time!]

[animooted!]

There was actually a girl I “dated” for a little bit in high school. It was more a her-friends-and-my-“friends”-hung-out and she would be at the basketball games, so it just… happened? It was weird. We held hands once. She was actually a good friend. I think she had an idea of what was going on. But yeah, like I said, it wasn’t the same.

I do think the tattoos would probably heal away pretty instantly, though.

[Oh, gosh. I’m flattered! I don’t mind at all! Maybe if you could put a little footnote re: inspired by callmekitto @ tumblr? I mean if it’s awkberg you don’t have to but yeah, no, go right ahead!]
