some more miscellaneous Guy, Sonar (Bito), & Feste shenanigans with @arcade-writing cuz they're silly and cute and I am obsessed with this otp & ot3.

they've given me brain worms. <3

Once again this is a VERY LONG POST. be warned!!! this is like.. the longest of these posts yet. These have been piling up for awhile now lol I hope y'all get a kick out of these

===

Feste heads out to go visit Bito, but can't find him at his apartment at all. flies a bit out from the outskirts where he and Guy's places of living are and further towards more green fields and stuff and he happens upon Bito in a fenced field shirtless and playing with some sheep and goats.

ah. it's just like when he was a boy back in Modora helping his mama and papa with the livestock. he is having the best of time.

come to find out, Guy is also shirtless and helping out. he's bringing back some water and fruits for the animals. When they notice Feste, Guy explains that Bito dragged him along into this, had already contacted the owner of the place and now they're volunteering to aid in tending to them.

Guy didn't want anything out of it, but the owner insisted on at least paying Bito for the help.

Now Bito has an extra means of cash, though it isn't much. He's more just happy to help. He's very good at it. the sheep and goats love him. (too bad the goats keep trying to ram into Guy). Guy doesn't fight or hurt kids (human) but the kids (animal) keep trying to pick a fight with him by bapping their little horned noggins into his shins.

Feste is gonna stay on the fence and watch, or hover around with his ring. Bito hands Feste a little lamb to hold.

===

Guy coming back from a mission that he had to go solo (aka, without Feste. He was assigned with a group)

And he comes back bloody with a bleeding nose and blood from his busted lip just.. dripping down his face. His white gloves are coated.. got some splatter on his face and body. No one died, he sustained no concerning injury (except maybe a little mild head trauma from getting beat up and some bruised ribs)

He spots Feste who obviously spotted him first with a big shocked expression (wide eyes and concern in his brow) as he was holding his glove below his face to catch the blood dripping, and he looks at Feste, lowering that hand and giving the biggest dopiest bloodiest grin. The happiest grin to see his favorite little Pink Lantern.

He'll live, he just needs a cold drink, a rag and tissues, and to kick back and have some alone time with Feste to rest.

Maybe kiss a little. His lip may be busted up, but by golly he desires a smooch so bad.

He'll tell Feste all about the mission and what happened, what all he did and stuff. It wasn't anything confidential.

And then he'll ask Feste what he did. Wanting to focus on something else for a bit. Guy is just happy to kick back and relax with his arms around Feste.

===

….Brain hit me with the mental image of Guy and Bito getting into a heated argument that leads to Guy basically pinning Bito to a wall and leaning over him. like.. Bito's sitting down or is crouched for some reason and Guy is frustrated as always, but Bito says something that just causes something to snap in Guy's mind and now he's got his hands slammed into the wall on either side of Bito's head.

Lots of sexual tension between them. Bito is surprised by the action and just kinda goes quiet while Guy pops off.

I know Feste would be sitting and watching this play out, or would walk in and have that usual "ohohoho me next" reaction.

Bito later @ Feste: I understand now. I understand what it is you see in him.

Feste: he really gets your heart racing 💕

Bito: with annoyance

Feste: sexy annoyance

Bito: ……He was kind of… hot, though.

Feste: HECK YEAH HE IS.

===

Guy: HATE THIS. HATE EVERYTHING. THIS FREAKING BLOWS CHUNKS. DON'T FREAKING LOOK AT ME, DON'T EVEN BREATHE IN MY DIRECTION. I'M GONNA KILL SOMEONE, I SWEAR TO--

Feste: (jingles as he enters the room)

Guy: (ear piercingly high intake of air)

Guy: oohhh my gosh hiiii Feste, hiii my little lover boy, how are you, where've you been all day? I missed you, please give me a kiss I really need it rn-- 💕

===

Feste & Sonar, but it's like.. Sonar trying to show off and appeal to Feste who is actively fighting his own heart and soul in denial or something, but man he wants that talk tan balkan man so bad, meanwhile Sonar just wants to make a good impression like--

in the JLI HQ lobby:

???: Oh he's really handsome, and he's got flowers? Oh, I wonder who he's here for? He looks like a prince all dressed up like that.. wow 💕

Feste, coming down into the lobby to get away from the bickering in the meeting room: ??? the heck is all this commotion??? someone here???

Feste, seeing Sonar outside in his finest clothes and holding a bouquet of flowers that Feste actually kinda likes: UHHHH.. (starts trembling and panicking, hair puffing up with a few heart curls)

Sonar, catching sight of Feste inside looking at him and perking up and waving joyously at him as he starts walking towards the door: !!!! 💕

Feste: (LOOKING AROUND FOR AN ESCAPE)

Sonar: ? Why is he trying to hide?

===

Bito learning English from Feste AND picking up the slang and accent quirks from Guy…

Man.

That's one wild accent cocktail.

First the Modoran accent being relatively thick within itself, and then you have dashes of British English and a hint of Baltimore mixed in..

Man I wanna hear what that sounds like so bad.

Balkan man with thick accent speaking British English, but it's got a little Baltimore mixed in.

Bito going "what's all this then"

Gives Feste a jumpscare

Bro just waltzes up behind him and Guy and says it cuz he doesn't know what they're doing or looking at and is curious.

Guy: Why did you teach him that???

Feste: I didn't teach him that!!!!

Bito, who was merely watching tv/learning to use a cellphone: ☺️

===

Feste asking what Sonar even keeps inside those two pockets of his on his uniform. poking at them when he asks.

Bito just happily is like "You wanna see?" and starts unclipping them to show the contents.

in one is a little sonar device + small soni-tracker pins. he can use them to tag and track down foes if needed. the sonar-radar tracker itself can be used in other ways, like scanning a certain perimeter to see what's all there when one can't see for themselves.

in the other is both the specialized earmuffs he can pin to his hat to help protect himself from his own gadgets. And the special device that allows him to fly or float via supersonic sounds (and allows him to do those cool powerful punches). he keeps that device in the pouch at all times.

He's just happily info-dumping all this knowledge to Feste and even says he'd be happy to show him how they work sometime.

===

….man.. just imagined Feste & Bito going on like.. a little date together.. and Bito's using this as a chance to practice his english, asking Feste not to use the ring to translate.

Bito is doing his BEST to practice and learn to speak the language. learn the slang and lingo. He may say some things wrong, or get the wrong word, but he's happy to have Feste correct him.

in return… Bito teaches Feste a little Modoran.

They trying talking to each other in broken English & modoran

it's very amusing for the both of them to try and figure out what the other is saying. it's just a very fun time.

sometimes.. during these moments when Feste doesn't have the ring translating everything.. Bito will use it to say some things to Feste. things he never taught Feste what they mean. and it absolutely flusters Feste. especially cuz Bito's voice dips and sounds REALLY hot when he does that. Feste just KNOWS it's gotta be something cheesy and romantic. Bito is absolutely flirting with Feste in Modoran.

if Feste ever sneakily got the ring to translate it without Bito realizing and Bito found out?

Bito would be covering his face, going SO red and feeling so embarrassed. he wanted to be cool and smooth and a bit mysterious or something!!! now he just sounds cringe (to himself at least)

===

Feste: You're a very responsible man, Bito. Very sexy, very wealthy--

Bito: Y-You think I'm wealthy?

Feste: --I think you should take your shirt off.

Bito: Hold-- Hold on. What was that last part?

Feste: :3 ;3

Feste: so some people think you're a villain…are you…actually one or-?

Bito: what? No! I am a hero! I only wish to honor my country by showing our potential, I would never disgrace it with villinary

Feste: oh…well..i mean If you do ever become one- here's my number regardless

Bito: …do….. Do you want me to? ..Uhm.. be more… assertive? domineering? ….Is that what you want of me?

Feste:

Feste: Well I wouldn't really say no--

Feste getting that treatment by Bito only. meanwhile Bito is always otherwise a pleasant man.

if Feste wanted it, then Bito is gonna lean on the wall behind Feste, leaning over him. giving Guy a smug smarmy side-eye look as he reaches a hand around to grab Feste's hip and rear firmly before leaning further and whispering in his ear something that would have Feste giggling.

maybe Bito is also taking notes from his observations of Guy in his actions he makes towards Feste. y'know. learning what he likes and all.

===

Guy: I hate that man so much. I can't STAND that guy--

Bito: (making dinner)

Guy, quietly: Have I ever told you how much I love you?

Bito: Hm?

Guy: your food. I love your food. clean your nasty ugly ears. you're blasting your own hearing away with your own gadgets.

Bito: Feste, he seems more grouchy than usual.

Feste: Nah don't worry about it. Second to me, you're his favorite person.

Guy: SHUT UP.

===

Me: Honestly. My Sonar is very strong. Big and beefy. Meaty and it ain't just for show. If some bad guy disarmed him of his tuning fork gun, he'd be able to hold his own in hand to hand combat against them. Rush in and give them a good punch to the face. He has Guy's respect for that.

Me: Guy & Bito fight…. Bito bites Guy and Guy is shocked that Bito would fight dirty like him. Bito isn't above using all the tools nature has bestowed upon him from birth.

Arcade: "you forget I have fists!" -Punches them-

Arcade: meanwhile Feste is like "I'm just a little guy! You don't wanna hit me. I'm so small and little and-" [RAPIDLY SPEED DIALING HIS BOYFRIEND]

Me: The question isn't "which boyfriend?" It's obvious it's both. The question is "which one is gonna arrive first?"

---

Me: Feste has scary dog privilege having Guy & Bito as his boyfriends.

Me: Feste is in danger? Those two are like rabid snarling beasts ready to maul and maim. What's scarier? Guy's explosive destructive anger, or Bito's silent calm anger? Or Feste's own anger when one of his boyfriends is in danger?

Arcade: Feste's anger is only good until he's bugging out like a cat with a hairball coz it made him nauseous.

Arcade: Calm anger is terrifying , you can't anticipate that as easily as explosive types.

Me:

???: Man. Sonar is so kind. Nothing seems to get under his skin. I've never seen him get angry, even when Guy blew up at him that one time. Usually that'll set anyone off lol

Feste, knowing dang well that Sonar has gotten furious many times before and what that looks like: it's rude to talk about people you don't know. It makes you look like an idiot spouting lies.

===

Guy & Sonar patting a seat between them saved just for Feste to join them in devouring some shrimp and more.

Sonar won't shut up about some seafood dishes they have in Modora and it's making Guy angry that he can't eat them and angry that he's STILL getting hungry. he's constantly got like at least 3 shrimps in his mouth at all times. the man is FIENDING for some food and they got a massive pile of it. it's like that scene in Spirited Away of the parents grabbing all that food and stuffing their faces.

and Feste is sitting in between them nibbling on his own plate of whatever the heck he picked out from the pile on the table.

this meal is on Guy. Feste doesn't have to worry.

===

..I just had the mental image of GL!Sonar using his ring to conjure up some massive speaker system constructs and blasting the enemies away with Modora's national anthem on maximum volume. his love and pride of his home is like nothing else.

Guy: What the HECK?!

Bito: I panicked!!

Guy: Well panic some more!! We have another wave of these freaks incoming!!

Bito: Ahh-- R-Right away!

redirecting the speaker system to blast away the enemies again. Extremely effective.

Being cringe is great because I get to see stuff like this, for free

@arcade-writing I won't stop drawing nonsense of your selfship. I am obsessed with these guys and their weird love.

An angel loses it wings everytime they make a character a conventional loser instead of an ugly rat.

when they make an unconventionally attractive fictional man conventional.. it hurts the soul.

[arcade-writing]

Me when ghostie makes their followers view my self shipping bs and how well they feed me. I'm being fed so much scrumptious as always

A little something I wrote for @arcade-writing between his self-insert, Feste, and my Guy Gardner some time ago + a little follow-up and a tiny bonus bit at the end:

-----

Guy was sent out on an extended mission in space alone, a very important one that was top secret known only to him and the Guardians. Feste was left to his own on Oa, but was given freedom to head back to Earth.. So he did. And for a time, Guy and Feste would send each other little voice messages through their rings.

After awhile, Guy had stopped sending messages.. Feste sensed something but he wasn't really sure what it was, so he kept sending voice messages to Guy. Messages checking up on him and giving a little info about what Feste was up to, whether Guy cared or not. Telling him about his aid with the Justice League and others. He occasionally even checked in with the Guardians to see if they had any information about Guy's status, well aware they wouldn't tell him much, but he still asked anyway. Anything to kill time.

As well, he'd repeat the messages Guy had sent, just to hear his voice again. That stupid snort and laugh. The little names he'd call him. He'd do this anytime he got lonely.. which was more often than he'd care to admit.

Feste's messages had eventually slowed down after a year had passed. The last time he sent Guy a message was a little over 2 months ago. He missed him.. So he sent one last message--

..but then it happened. A little ping on his ring. A message. It was Guy. He sounded even rougher than he usually did, he apologized greatly, saying he'll fill Feste in on what all happened, that he was heading back to Oa, and for Feste to wait for him at their favorite place at a specified time.

"This message'll prolly get t'ya before I do, though, heh."

Feste couldn't believe it. Hearing his voice again.. a wave of emotion and relief washing over him to know Guy was alright. And that he was to be back so soon, too.

So, he got himself ready for that date. Come the time, he set out to wait as promised, even sending a message back to let Guy know he was waiting.

Guy is a little late when he finally arrives.. Feste didn't care. Heck, he could hardly breathe and stand being able to see Guy again after so long. Guy didn't say anything, he just simply reached into the collar of his GL vest and tugged out a necklace hooked around his neck with a bog toothy grin. Rings from the other Lantern Corps hung from it like little fishing trophies.

All but one ring color was on the necklace. Red, Yellow, Green, Blue..

Guy stepped forward, his uniform changing from green to.. pink? Feste's eyes widening in surprise, his mind trying to process everything as it occurred. Guy now wore a custom Pink Lantern uniform.. the ring was on his left hand, explaining why it wasn't on the necklace.

"..I've listened to all your messages you've sent. They've kept me grounded when I had the red ring. the yellow.. I'm sorry I wasn't able to send you any messages… I didn't want ya to worry.. didn't want you to hear me in such a state. Luckily.. the Pink Lantern Corps was my last stop on that mission.. Heh. As much flack as I give ya.. the love really helped pull me through it.. and I got this pretty little souvenir to ke--"

Feste collapsed to his knees as he rushed over to hold Guy. Tears falling and his aura flaring up, his hair had never been curlier. Guy was surprised and fell down to his own knees to check on Feste who simply babbled in response.

"..You really missed me, huh?" Guy says, patting and holding Feste close. "..It's alright, I've missed ya, too."

-----

Guy & Feste sharing a meal and Guy is just prattling on and on and on and-- about the whole mission. The battles he fought, the food he tasted, planets he saved, how hard he kicked Sinestro's butt, how he won a fight with Atrocitus (it was actually a respectful truce), etc etc. He's getting so animated and loud.

Feste is watching, listening, and eating every word. He has never been more maddeningly in love with a man in his life.

---(Bonus)---

(italics = Arcade's comments)

all I can imagine Guy, purple blood on his knuckles (idk it seems alien) and acid blood that red lanterns have dripping out his mouth. Panting and all crazy eyed as he just had to fight some people and then he just sits and listen to voice notes and it's just Feste trying to cook whilst talking and him screaming about the water being on fire

Local angry man listens to his clown of a bf be an absolute loser Because when Guy isn't around - Feste loses all charm and "I'm so cool and collected, so suave" air

Guy sitting on a cold rock in space, battered and bruised and bloody and so tired. Holding his Green Ring up to hear Feste's messages. He is miserable in his Red Lantern attire, but hearing Feste talk about some friend's he made in the Justice League in Guy's place, about the food Feste made..

Guy finds it super soothing. He can picture everything clearly as he drifts to sleep to prepare for another busy day of his long extended mission.

[arcade-writing]

They're morons. The safety of thousands is in their hands and this is how they behave. I love them. They are tormenting each other with each breath and they will not stop.

@arcade-writing Guy/Feste but make it an outfit swap!

it was a slow day and Guy was bored when he decided to use his ring to change his outfit into Feste's and imitate him. Only to have Feste do the same and change his outfit to look like Guy's usual uniform in return. Guy approves greatly.

they're also making googoo eyes at each other. of course :)

[arcade-writing]

My reaction to this masterpiece. I say I'd eat all your art but this? This I'm eating without chewing. Shoving it straight into the throat

Within reach

[arcade-writing]

This is quite literally been my issue recently and it's been making me hate being aroace. I hate that when I talk about my future where I'm alone; no partner, no kids - just friends and maybe pets. I'm told it sounds "incredibly lonely" and "sad".

Like no, you're making it seem like that.

Once I stopped being a child who just copied what everyone else wanted and liked and actually started becoming my own person - for so much of my life when imagining my future it was simply just living alone. In a cottage or just somewhere further away from people. For me just simply moving out was a fantastic thing - which is due to my home life at the time but even now when that issue is no longer present. I still imagine my future alone (alone in the sense of no roommates and no romantic partner)

I've grown to just teach myself to not care so much what others think. People simply won't get it but it's so frustrating when I talk about the fact I won't follow the standard conventions of having a family or a romantic partner I'm always met with people telling me I'll change my mind (even people who know and understand that I'm aroace and what that is/means) or that I just sound lonely.

They act like it's some sort of punishment. A death sentence.

I just despise it all. This attitude the world has - the devaluing of friendships. I've been told so much lately that someone prioritizing their partner will always happen and I just need to accept and cope with that. And I am but it's so unfair. Its unfair that I could be someone's best friend, someone's #1 and we could have a platonic bond that is so strong and id still be shoved to second place if not more than that because my friend got a partner. Like our bond meant so little.

It's just all so so frustrating.

being on the aro spectrum would be a lot easier if being single wasn't made to feel like a literal death sentence

[arcade-writing]

Genuinely this PISSES me off so hard when I see this happen in fandoms. It's like you're only an acceptable aromantic/asexual (as they do this with both labels separately too) if you can still follow the convenient norms. Like yeah! Some aroaces CAN be like that but here's the thing, most depictions of aroaces are NOT like that. They are shown to be disgusted or uncomfortable by these things to show that they are infact aroace. We typically do not have characters, or atleast I hasn't seen any, that in the show/movie/book go into the nuances and spectrum of these things.

It's usually "I'm repulsed or uncomfortable by sex/love/both" and the audience will go "WELL THERE ARE AROACES WHO DO ENJOY-" SHUT UP. this character doesn't apply to that CLEARLY. there has been no signs that this character is like that and so you are just being disrespectful to their identity. You just can't handle not having your little ship and also you clearly don't have any real respect for this kind of identity if you can't accept it when it doesn't follow your societal rules.

As an aroace who has had my identity questioned a few times due to my lack of repulsion to these things, it just pisses me off so much. Like, whilst I am a "no love, no sex" aroace - I will do things like queer platonic relationships. Kissing, hand holding, intimacy, ect. Because I like doing those things. I enjoy physical affection and feeling close to another person who I see as a friend or I can enjoy having no strings attached and have a mutual agreement with someone. Because either way as long as both parties are understanding and consenting and can handle it, why can't people explore these things? To still get things we want without having to force ourselves into relationships we'll never be into it.

Love to all my fellow aromatics and asexuals who are repulsed or just simply indifferent. Love to the ones that'll try it out. Love to the ones who do date and have sex. Love to all of y'all. 🫶

Fandoms are a mess and tbh I kinda just stop being apart of them. My fandom spaces is my brain and my friends. And it's because of shit like this and also the other toxicity that swarms around. People have made having interests be like fast fashion and a kill joy.

the way fandoms are desperate to make all aroace characters romance and sex positive but then dont do anything remotely similar to any other identity is astounding. hmm i wonder why

PLEASE dont derail this about shipping characters of other identities please let this one post be about an aroace struggle

[arcade-writing]

I literally made mine in a rush and didn't even bother to do more than 1 layer which is unusual for me but I did draw this as soon as I woke up and COULD NOT be arsed to do my usual drawing process so ignore how messy it is.

But the Deadpoolsona in question. We are literally twins - clearly you can tell by the fact we both have big ass weapons and are silly. ✨

@arcade-writing made a deadpoolsona and for whatever the heck reason my brain latched onto the idea and I was able to come up with this for myself.

Oh, to be an irl cartoon. Defying all laws of physics and more.

No kill. Just goofs. :>
