dude idk. i still think about young avengers, the original comic series all the time. how everything started out as super powered kids trying to follow in the footsteps of the greatest heroes (currently inactive bc of a horrible accident that left a bunch of people dead...) bc they were all so different and didn't fit in until one boy gathers them together and they just immediately full send go against drug dealers, armed robbers, and terrorists all by themselves until they get caught by Dad 1 and Dad 2 but then the boy who brought them all together, who started them down the path of friends (and more, nearly every1 pairs off in this series) turns out to be incubated villain # 1 and the reason the apocalypse starts and while Dad 1 and Dad 2 + Jessica Jones try to stop all these literal children from getting hurt, there's no possible way to stop said apocalypse without someone dying. and then the youngest character (14) dies, mirroring the death of her father (previous hero) so the story ends with these teenagers who bonded through blood sweat tears and serious trauma, breaking up because they lost 2 friends. they are dead. gone.
not to mention also one of the boys watched his mother be burned alive in front of him and then had his entire identity ripped from him and casually tossed aside (while this is a character whose initial character arc is centered around him struggling with his identity and being semi-nonconsensually pushed into many identities he didn't want over and over again) and his arc doesn't even really get resolved because it's solved by a sleight of hand trick against the Universe's (yes the universe, not the world's) two most prominent military powers
two other characters are the children of wanda maximoff so you can imagine how fucking great those two start out/are perceived throughout the series with so much layered prejudice and violent history both ethnically and generationally (romani, jewish, mutant)
and there's another character who's family was fucked over and forgotten about because of systematic racism that leads to the youngest member taking experimental superpowered steroids just to try and get his family's honor back and essentially throwing away his own future and health in the process
i just. think about these kids a lot.

Candles (and candle-y products) I think the Young Avengers would have:
Context: I came up with this while being in a Yankee Candles with my family for 45 minutes or so. I got bored, took a bunch of photos of candles, and spent another 45 minutes on this vaguely unhinged Young Avengers post. Also this is just the comics team, so V1 + V2 team. :)
enjoy?
Nate: Coconut Beach - He’d probably have a basic beach candle like this, mostly based off the panels of him on the beach
Eli: Seaside Woods - Not technically a candle but it was in the Yankee Candles so. I think he’d have these solely cause someone else bought them for him and he didn’t want to throw them away.
Teddy: Singing Carols - I think Teddy would have one of those vaguely festive candles with the strange names, and he probably enjoys them too. Maybe they remind him of his mom. Mary-Jo Altman seems like a festive candle type lady.
Billy: Edelweiss - I mean, come on! It’s named after a Sound of Music song, of course Billy would have it! Probably bought multiple, I just imagine him performing spells with the Edelweiss scented candle.
Kate: Hinoki Dahlia - I honestly picked this solely cause it’s purple, but Kate would totally buy it just cause it’s purple also.
Cassie: Movie Night Cocoa - absolutely bought for the ridiculous concept, but turns out it actually smells good so she bought more. I’m sure Kate helped in buying this.
Jonas: Catching Rays - Listen, he’s a robot, I doubt he can actually smell this, but I think it’d be funny if he had it (also I didn’t wanna leave him out, I love him)
Tommy: Ice Banana Pop - He’d buy this just to piss everyone off, especially Billy and David though, he probably thinks it’s hilarious
David: Vanilla Bean Caramel Biscotti - It’s vaguely yellowish-orange and is sort of professional looking. I bet he seriously likes it too, it’s like the anti-thesis of Tommy’s monstrosity of a candle.
America: Cafe Al Fresco - Kate bought it for her. It smells like coffee and America swears she doesn’t like it, but she does.
Noh-Varr: Sunset Disco - I laughed for a solid 2 minutes seeing this candle display, and thought Noh-Varr would totally own this candle just cause it has “disco” in the title
Loki: Mistletoe - Look, I have an awful sense of humor, and Loki probably does too. Maybe Verity bought this for him, maybe he got it himself, who knows.

Normal bullshit you see in the young avengers HQ in the AU I made but is never going to actually finish that just makes sense.
Tommy running around at full speed because he got the zoomies.
Clint and Kate arguing over an arrow even though they have so many arrows
Billy and Teddy hiding somewhere very odd from Tommy.
Cassie being too small and sitting somewhere you could literally sit on her
America either beating the shit out of Loki or running after him.
David dissecting dead bodies for science in the garden.
Eli studying for college in the middle of the living room.which isn't weird intill you question why is he even studying?He's a hero,hero's don't study.
Noh-var using Jonas as his own music player
Evil future Loki or kang fighting the young avengers somewhere in the HQ.
Billy,nate or and loki sitting in the corner having an identity and or an existential crisis.
People that isn't even on the team hanging around just because.
Holy shit is the kitchen on fire?? Yes,yes it is.
