Lip Balm

Summary: Hook insists you need some lip balm
“I love this weather.” You told your boyfriend, laying your head on his shoulder.
“Really darling?” Hook asked, fingers absentmindedly trailing through the back of your hair.
The two of you were sitting at a tree with a beautiful view of the enchanted lake. You were turned sideways, knees bent over his legs as you snuggled close to him. His body heat -along with his coat- was a comfortable thing to lean into, and was something you took advantage of whenever you could.
“Yeah,” you nodded against his shoulder, creating a rustling sound right in your ear. “Especially the light breeze.”
“I dunno…” you heard clear amusement in the deep voice right above your face. “It dries out my skin; especially my lips.”
Shifting back, you looked at the aforementioned area. You frowned. “Your lips look fine, James.”
He had a little sparkle in his eye.
“Yours don’t.”
“Rude much?”
“Not to worry,” he gleamed something mischievous. “I have lip balm.”
Sighing at your boyfriends antics, you pursed your mouth comically for him. If he was going to claim you had chapped lips, then he was the one who was going to do something about it. He did not, however, do that; instead opting to apply the waxy substance to his own lips.
“Hey,” you complained, pouting. “I thought you were giving me some lip balm.”
After rubbing it all in, Hook gave you an impish smile.
“Of course Dearie.”
The last thing you expected was to feel pushing on the back of your head where his hand had been resting.
Pushing your face towards his, Hook leaned in as he captured your lips with his own. Throwing away all previous annoyance, you closed your eyes and fully embraced him; your fingers in his hair this time. He kissed you fervently, each one never enough and leaving him starving for more.
You began to feel lightheaded despite your meager return of affection, mouth pulling farther and farther away with each kiss. At last you parted from him, breathy.
Gliding your fingers over your now-tingling-lips, you felt them coated in the lip balm Hook put on.
You gave him a look.
“You’ve been waiting to do that!”

Thank God for the modding community, fr.
I still don't get why, despite there being plenty viscera, detail, and body horror in the ghoul models for New Vegas, far be it from Bethesda to make the Burned Man look burnt.
Either way. God bless the modding community.

Batman #149 by chip zdarsky is mostly unremarkable, but I'm really fascinated by how it makes a great case for 'good' endings not saving 'bad' stories*. Because there's a lot of interesting concepts in this issue (bruce having to deal with his rapidly aging and decaying clone making him think about his own life, re-establishing a 'nest' so to speak for his family after pushing them away, etc) but bc of the OOC slog that came before it, almost every moment w/ the batfamily comes off as unearned and disingenuous imo.
Like, everything with Damian is the perfect example in this. Because in isolation it's...fine. admittedly it's a missed opportunity to not go deeper into how Damian would feel about a clone of his dad who tried to kill considering Damian's relationships with clones of himself (the heretic rejects and respawn) or with former enemies who wanted him dead but who were manipulated and/or brainwashed (like suren and maya).
Zdarsky doesn't go into any of this but you could maybe excuse it as the issue not being about Damian. However, coupled with the previous bizarre characterizations of Damian in 147 and 148, it ends up not being fine- instead it starts to feel...icky how Damian (who, despite often being drawn and written as white, will never have his connection to the non-white al ghuls forgotten and will always be effected by racism even when not portrayed as a poc) is constantly written as overly violent, uncaring and narrow minded in this run. Coupled w/ trying to recanonize the morrison origin for Damian it's like. OH this is badly written and laden with subtle bigotry, sick**
That's me going into detail on it with Damian but it's applicable to other things in this issue- the way Cass, Steph and Duke have all been ignored or turned into jobbers makes their inclusion in the 'family' here feel hollow instead of satisfying. Bruce proclaiming that Zur was still a part of him and he needs to accept responsibility for his actions (when it means taking in clone son) wrings hollow when just last issue zdarsky was bending over backwards to separate Bruce and Zur bc otherwise the Jason thing would get really awkward. Ends are achieved through means that feel hollow or strange. I'm at my destination but damn why'd the bus have to do all that???
I only really have opinions on this latest arc of zdarskys Batman bc it's the one I've read the closest (bc I'm a hater, masochist and avid follower of even the bad damian storylines) but it's not saying great things.
Bc zdarsky can do one thing good in this book, and it's write Bruce and Tim. And yet this entire story, whether of his own volition or editorial mandate, includes other characters who aren't Bruce and Tim, the fabric starts to unravel in very telling ways.
(p.s, I think pennyworth manor is an interesting idea but I feel like in execution it's just gonna be 'bruce living in a house haunted by the memory of the people he couldn't save' but with a different dead guy this time. Illusion of change and whatnot)
*whether or not the ending is good is up to you ofc, as is your opinion on the proceeding arc! I saw some ppl complain that the ending was too "WFA" for them, which I get even if I dont think it'll literally be the same premise. If anything it's probably a lead into the new tec run. Likewise many ppl who aren't in the weeds of Damian and Jason characterization liked the previous arc! But I have my opinions and rest my case before the bench
**disclaimer, I'm white and portrayals of bigotry in comics are complicated and subjective, but I am basing my point here off what other poc comic fans on socmed have been saying about 149. Also the "sick" is sarcasm incase that wasn't obvious
