* rules.
. 001. Important . Even though I plan to follow the comics more often than not, this blog will still explore a lot of what the mcu has given us because I enjoy both sides and like to explore all the possibilities. I understand that right now that’s not everyone’s cup of tea and I respect that. So if you don’t like the mcu or its portrayal of the characters, that’s ok, but maybe this is not the place for you.. 002. REGARDING DUPLICATES . I’m totally comfortable with other Tommys—if you love Tommy as much as I do, we’re already friends, and you should definitely come and scream about him with me! I love seeing different takes on him, and I think there are tons of fun possibilities for interactions between Tommys from different universes. The only thing I ask is please don’t copy anything you see here.. 003.REGARDING SELECTIVITY
. This blog is highly selective and private, which means I'll write with MUTUALS ONLY. I may open some exceptions from time to time, this is not set in stone and I do like to give everyone a chance, but since I like to keep my dash clean, sometimes I won't follow everyone and I ask you to respect that.. 004. REGARDING FOLLOWING #1 . : I DO NOT FOLLOW JUST FOR NUMBERS. If we're mutuals, that means I WANT to write with you. I'll try my best to always start something by sending memes, liking strater calls & stuff. But, remember, THIS IS A MUTUAL EFFORT . if I notice that I'm the only one trying or if everything I answer / send to you gets ignored and if you never ever bothered to approach in any way, I WILL UNFOLLOW.. 005. REGARDING FOLLOWING #2 . PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ME TO UNFOLLOW HOURS LATER. . This has happened a lot of times before and it is very uncomfortable. Please, read the pages BEFORE you follow. And please, just follow if you really want to write with me.. 006. REGARDING ACTIVITY & REPLIES . I AM NOT FAST. Most times I will take a while to answer not only to threads but chats as well. Please, I ask for you to keep in mind that when this happens it's not because I'm not interested in something we have, it's nothing against you. I'M ALWAYS INVESTED IN OUR THREADS even though I'm slow to answer. And never forget that if you took the time to write or send me something I WILL REPLY TO THAT.
. 007. REGARDING SHIPPING #1 . This is a MULTISHIP blog and I am very open to shipping. But remember—CHEMISTRY & PLOT first are always appreciated and help me to get more engaged.. 008. REGARDING SHIPPING #2 . Please keep in mind that I DO NOT AND WILL NOT WRITE SMUT OR SEXUAL CONTENT OF ANY KIND HERE. The mun is 25+, and the muse is 18+ most of the time but I'm just not interested in writting anything sexual here. I'm just not comfortable with that. if it's that what you're looking and is a must for a shipp, then I'm probably not the partner you're looking for. Any sexual asks or content will be deleted.. 009. REGARDING ASKS . Being quite honest, ASK MEMES ARE THE BEST WAY to start things with me! I love them & my askbox is always open to everyone to send memes & random asks (development asks, headcanon asks, anon asks, ask for me or directly to scarlett, everything). I don’t care if the meme is old, you all have my permission to send how many you like! I also highly encourage people to turn asks into threads if you guys want to.. 010. REGARDING HATE . ANON HATE WON'T EVER BE TOLERATE . keep in mind that if you ever send me an aggressive/hate anon for whatever reason, it will be ignored completely. You can waste your time all you want, but I won’t waste mine. If you don’t like something you see here, YOU CAN DO TWO THINGS : one—don't follow/unfollow/block me and move on. Two—come to my chat or whatever so we can talk as adults and hopefully try to sort things out. If you can’t do any of these things… then I'm sorry, maybe this isn’t the right place for you.. 011. LAST BUT NOT LEAST . The golden rule applies here—treat others the way you’d like to be treated. Meaning: don’t be a jerk, please. Respect comes first, always.. 012. ABOUT THE MUN . My name is Beatriz, but you can call me Bea or Cat (my favorite nickname). My pronouns are she/her. I’m 28 years old and I live in Brazil so english is not my first language, so if you see any mistakes on my writing, I truly encourage you to point them out to me so I can correct them and improve!

Tommy Shepherd's life took a complete turn the night he was rescued by the group known as the Young Avengers from the prison cell he’d been thrown into, after an accident involvin his powers. Not only did he get his freedom back, but he also gained friends the chance to become a hero, and, more importantly—a family to care about and a purpose to fight for.He discovered that he and his teammate William Kaplan, were actually the twin sons of the Scarlet Witch and Vision after an encounter with Master Pandemonium. Since then, he's been spending more time with them than with his “real” family.Impulsive and maybe a little too over confident—bordering on arrogant—, Speed quickly became one of the most charismatic members (according to him, at least) of the Young Avengers. But more than that, he's a young man who, despite any mistakes he might make along the way, is always ready to stand by his friends and family.

MCU VERSE
WANDAVISION VERSE. Tommy Maximoff, the older of a pair of twins, lives a normal, quiet life with his family in Westview… right? That is, until strange things start happening. Exploring everything that happened in the series + more ! tagging : v; mcu & v; mcu / wandavision
AGATHA ALL ALONG VERSE 1 This was written/developed before the show ended and before the information we got from them. Thomas Shepherd, son of Frank and Mary Shepherd, a divorced couple, has been a troublemaker long before all this began. For the past three years, Tommy’s life has been anything but ordinary. Alongside the emergence of his powers, he’s been having memories of another life—one parallel to his own—with a different mother and a twin brother. Eventually, Tommy is drawn to the infamous town of Westview, where he meets another boy who looks just like him: Billy Kaplan. Billy is also searching for answers, and the two decide to team up, brought together by the strange events happening around them. Tommy soon finds himself entangled with a coven of witches led by Agatha Harkness and ends up (against everyone’s wishes—except maybe Billy’s) on the witches’ path, where his powers don’t work, and he feels more lost than ever. Yet, at the same time, he senses that this might be exactly where he’s supposed to be, because maybe, just maybe, if they reach the end of the road, they can bring their mother Wanda Maximoff back.
AGATHA ALL ALONG VERSE 2 With his brother’s help, Tommy managed to reincarnate, just like his twin. And his new life began in water. Confused, the first thing he when he raised his head out of the water was a name—Billy. But who was Billy? Tommy didn’t know. All he knew was that he was in the middle of a lake, surrounded by kids staring at him like he was some kind of freak. Some laughed, others looked just as confused as he was (‘I thought you said he wasn’t moving" one would whisper. “and he wasn’t” would reply his friend), and a few seemed openly hostile. Sensing danger, he instinctively tried to defend himself. Everything became a blur. Afterward, he got into trouble. His parents were called to deal with him. Frank showed up; Mary didn’t even bother. They were said to be his parents even though this seemed wrong—Tommy didn’t know any of these people. He was positive he never saw them before (what the hell happened to him ? Did one of those kids hit his head hard enough for him to be so confused ? He wanted to scream, but kept to himself. He needed time to figure that out. ). Tommy was accused of attacking and injuring those kids that were with him in the lake, and Frank—already familiar with Tommy’s, or rather, Thomas Shepherd’s, troubled behavior—allowed them to send him to juvenile detention. But once there, his powers were noticed, Damage Control got involved, transferring him to one of their facilities, where he was kept under observation, monitored, and tested. He was stuck with them for a while. Frank and Mary didn’t show up to help him. The heroes, The Avengers–if they were still a thing— didn’t show up to help him. He was on his own. While he was locked up, Tommy tried to get his thoughts in order. He didn’t remember anything from his life as Tommy Shepherd, yet he kept recalling a place called Westview. There was a woman with a kind, loving expression who seemed to care for him deeply. A funny uncle. A slightly odd neighbor/babysitter. And most important of all, a twin brother—someone who had always been by his side. His other half. These memories were hazy and couldn’t possibly be real. He was an only child. His parents were divorced; he lived with his father, who barely paid attention to him, and his mother didn’t even want to know about him. He lived with this confusion for days—weeks. Until, one day, someone came to rescue him. A boy and a…. woman’s ghost. The boy’s name? William Kaplan. Or Billy—the person who’d been on Tommy’s mind ever since this began. His brother had finally found him.
MOM/EARTH-838 The year is 2023. Everything played out pretty much like in the mcu main timeline up until the wandavision’s finale. When the hex went down, Billy & Tommy didn’t disappear, even though all the rest did. They got a chance to be together and when everything was sorted out, Tommy, alongside his brother and mother, moved to a new house where they had a pretty normal live, or as normal as they could get. They got to see the world and got to meet new people. They were lucky, despite everything that happened. Tommy and his brother grew up in a world were heroes and mutants and everything in between were normal, and having powers of their own, it was expected they’d want to follow their mother’s footsteps one day. When Tommy got a little older he trained with his powers and decided he wanted to use them to help other people (and to be popular too). He assumed the identity of Speed and now, on the present, he’s a young hero in the streets of new york. tagging : v; mcu & v; earth 838
