DON'T CUT THE BAT CHALLENGE, GO ✷ b. wayne

summary. you shave your boyfriend's beard. contents. close physical proximity, sexual tension (not explicit), kissing, fluff, banter, ooc (? hopefully not). age gap but not mentioned, reader is implied to be hyper-feminine. speak now. First fic eeeeeek!! This was supposed to be out last month but finals were killing me. Not proofread! Nor am I sure if it's in character. But @spcherryygirl and @yeoniverseee read it(my girls fr). Layout is also by vivi! English isn't my first language so there's probably some typos and some grammatical mistakes

"Stop moving," you demaned furrowed brows drawn back as you lift the razor up to his jawline once more. "Seriously. if iI screw this up, you'll be a half-mowed lawn."

"I'm not going anywhere," he says, stupidly smooth and low, voice hoarse. "You're the one who's trembling."

"I am not," you whisper, and you are. just a little. maybe. “Jeez, let me concentrate."

It goes silent after that, and it's worse somehow. his hands are on your thighs, and it is not helping you concentrate. you pick up the razor once again, and trace its edge under his chin like you've seen in the movies( a.k.a your source ). Shaving cream is everywhere. On your wrist, on his neck, on the stupid robe hem.

"Damian would really kill me if I cut your throat," you mutter. "He already glares at me like I'm trying to replace his mom." (Well, chill.)

Bruce exhales a gentle laugh, head cocking slightly so you can brush the corner of his jaw. "He's just protective.”

"you don't say," you replied, not wanting to smile because he's still staring at you and it's only not fair the way his eyes get crinkly soft when he's being gentle. It's unfair. Is he even aware of how beautiful he is? "He almost stabbed my thigh with a batarang the first time I brought cupcakes."

"you brought pink cupcakes," bruce says, and now he's real smiling, like, actually smiling, which is about once every five years. "with edible glitter."

"excuse me for trying to bond," you laugh, drawing back a little to brush some cream from his chin with your sleeve. "at least now he tolerates me feeding him without pretending that I'm poisoning his food."

Bruce hums, and the hum is so low it vibrates in your chest. "he's attached to you. in his own way."

"Says the man who taught him to fight blindfolded underwater."

You draw the blade lightly down the final patch of stubble on his jaw, your lower lip caught between your teeth.

And finally,when you're finished, you sit back and inspect your handiwork.

"Huh," you remark. "not terrible for a first-time beard serial killer."

He laughs, then tilts his head just a little, close enough that you can smell the light cologne he always wears.

You don't even hesitate to think about it. You lean in and kiss him. A quick one, hardly even two seconds, before you pull back with a blegh.

"Ugh. gross. Why does that shaving stuff taste like battery acid?"

His eyes linger on you, amused. "You kissed me."

“And you've tasted battery acid?” He added.

"Yeah. and i regret it," You answered, running your lips across your sleeve. "What's in that stuff? motor oil?"

He doesn't say anything. Anyway, he leans in closer — impossibly closer, like he always seems to do — and presses two fingers against your chin and nips at you.

This time it's slower. Softer. And gets your entire body quiet. And still as a statue.

When he stops, your eyes are half-lidded and your lips are still buzzing and perhaps your head is short-circuiting a bit.

"Better?" he whispers.

you blink. "Yeah. Okay. That— yeah. That was better."

He smiles. The one you reserve for each other kind of smile.

"Good," he says, his thumb stroking your jaw. "Next time, I'll show you how to do the aftershave."

"Bold of you to think I'm putting hands on that weird alcohol liquid," you tell him, but your arms are already wrapped around his neck and you're already leaning forward again.

Actually, you're totally down to do it again.

I have an idea for a request

This is mainly meant for Sebek, Lila, and Malleus

So you know that myth about silver, iron and fairies?

Imagine a reader who's insecure about their teeth since they have a silver tooth crown (or multiple) in their mouth. They think they can't give no kiss kiss to their fae pookies T~T

I call it The Fae-tal Kiss

cast ✧ lilia , malleus , & sebek.

contains ﻌ fluff / lilia having a high pain tolerance mentioned / general lilia mentioned / lmk if i miss something.

✏ 𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 _𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚍𝚢𝚋𝚛𝚒𝚍𝚎 — this is kind of short... And this idea is so yummy btw!! Thanks for requesting <3

—. ( lilia ) ︵⠀⠀⊹ ⠀⠀ ꒰๑ ´` ๑꒱

Honestly, I feel like lilia would have a high pain tolerance due to him being a general. So, he'd mostly be willing to risk it just to get a few kisses from you. In this moment, Lilia would replay the saying of no pain, no gain inside his head as he cradles your face in his hands while stealing a few short kisses from you.

The metal does sting, yes. But the pain wasn't something that he wasn't used to, and besides he wouldn't let a few burning sensations stop him from getting a kiss from you. THIS MAN IS ON A MISSION!!

He'd also soothe your worries and insecurities by reassuring you that he's fine and that the blood on both of your lips wasn't that big of a deal since he can just use some healing magic.

To be honest, I think lilia would also love silver tooth crown(s). He thinks it's pretty and would totally get one too if only the metal didn't burn him <//3

The kisses he gives you might not be long ones and only lasts a few seconds but he does make sure to attack you with a barrage of smooches!!

—. ( sebek ) ︵⠀⠀⊹ ⠀⠀ ꒰๑ ´` ๑꒱

He was confused when he first saw your tooth crown(s), why would you wear something so... insignificant? it doesn't serve any real purposes and for a moment he actually thought it was some armor for your teeth. You have to actually explain to him that it does have some purpose, and yes, it's somewhat of a protective armor for your teeth.

Unlike Lilia, I think he'll be a bit hesitant when it comes to kissing you because of the silver/iron and how it affects him. BUT!! I also think he would actually pretty much risk a few peck kisses when he realizes that the fact that you couldn't kiss him due to your silver crown teeth actually saddens you.

Lilia DEFINITELY told him that kissing you might build a pain tolerance towards silvers/irons as a way to tease him but Sebek took his words seriously since he thought that it might be one of Lilia's advices/tips for him to better himself as a guard.

It didn't work. He tried kissing you for a longer time but the pain got to him too much and he had to pull away and apologize to you. ( He 100% wrote a poem/letter expressing his guilt and he also reassures you that he likes your silver tooth crown(s) and offers to take you back to his home in briar valley to see his parents and get your teeth checked or if you want to change up the design. )

I'm pretty sure he'd also find it cool that you have armor for your teeth. He won't try to get any silver tooth crown for himself because he knows he's not suited for it but he does compliment yours!!

—. ( malleus ) ︵⠀⠀⊹ ⠀⠀ ꒰๑ ´` ๑꒱

He would kiss you and will disregard the fact that your silver tooth crown(s) is practically burning him. This man would literally just use his magic to heal himself and since he's a powerful mage, the burn mark and blood would just disappear in an instant once he uses his magic as if it didn't even exist in the first place.

He would definitely be intrigued by your silver tooth crown(s) since this is the first time that he had seen one like it—he lived in briar valley after all, the city that's brimming with faes so seeing such an accessory wasn't common for him.

He'll be curious about the procedure for getting it and he'll ask you questions—just normal questions like, was it painful? Do the designs of your teeth crowns have any meanings? When can you take it off? Stuff like that.

Malleus would comfort you and soothe your worries away by assuring you that you could kiss him anytime you want and that no, he doesn't care about the silver/iron present in your teeth crowns. He'll also be much happier if he gets smooches from you and would also be the type to compliment you from time to time about your teeth crown(s).

I’m sure I’ve already said this, but I just can’t not say it again.

I keep seeing this take: “Yes, Nick loved June, but he was a villain (because he was a Commander in Gilead, and all Commanders are Nazis).”

the writers shoved this idea down our throats using Luke as their insightful narrator (lol)

“All he cared about was you, and that’s why you think he’s some kind of hero?”

And some people ate it up. I keep seeing posts with that exact message:

“He loved June, but he was evil.”

And I NEED to unpack this because WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT.

If someone is chasing power, if they enjoy control, being above others like Nazis do, if they lack empathy then they are literally incapable of selfless, sacrificial love. Like Nick loved June.

Evil doesn’t love like that. Evil tries to own and control.

Especially when we’re talking about a system where every Commander has patriarchal garbage in their heads, how could Nick give June so much freedom? So much choice? So much emotional support even when he himself was hurting? He’s not “like them” not even close. If he were truly a “Nazi,” his ego would’ve snapped in half multiple times in this story.

If a man is a Nazi meaning he believes in oppression, hierarchy, control, and dominance, then he is incapable of truly loving. Because real love isn’t about power, or control, or domination. Real love is about seeing the other person, accepting them, giving them freedom of choice, even when that choice isn’t you.

Nazi “love” isn’t love. It’s possession. It’s the need to keep someone beneath you. Men like that only “love” when their partner submits. The moment a woman shows independence, says no, or leaves they turn on her. She becomes the enemy.

But Nick didn’t just tolerate June’s freedom, he supported it. He encouraged it. He didn’t use their child to manipulate her, didn’t threaten her, didn’t stalk her. He didn’t retaliate when she rejected him. He endured the pain, stayed silent, waited without asking for anything in return.

(On top of that, Nick was repeatedly shown being empathetic towards others but let’s not even get into all that right now, because the point here is: you can’t love like that and still be a villain)

This whole narrative they’re trying to sell us? Absolute nonsense. A villain doesn’t pick and choose when to have a soul.

You can’t live a double life with two different moral codes, two different sets of emotional instincts. That’s not how human psychology works.

The writers forgot their own show and think we did too.

And, yeah, it worked on some people (the ones watching the show with their ass), But Jesus Christ, we have the scenes. The episodes exist.

How laaazyyyy

I can’t deal with it

Or do the writers seriously believe you can be a Nazi and still love like that? What absolute idiots.

It’s basic psychology. Don’t write a show about people if you don’t understand how people work.

Just saw some posts about how all the recent irritating changes at tumblr were made for the purpose of chasing growth.

And all i can say is, there's something kinda beautifully ironic about the possibility of tumblr's eventual downfall being due to their endless need for Biggering driving the natural wildlife away.

You know, I was thinking about an idea I had then realized just how angsty it would be on one side and how much fluff it would be on the other and I'm curious about other people's ideas too ngl

So like, I was toying around with the idea of Shanon coming back to Gardenview and snatching up the loser lesbians and bringing them home with her to save from... Whatever happened. Shanon has no idea, she was never allowed to know, so she just has two VERY traumatized toons now. She'll know how to keep Shelly entertained and happy, she was ALWAYS with Shelly, but I highly doubt she'd know how to keep Vee in check at all.

Vee would probably quickly spiral into a mental crisis about it too, as now everything has been destroyed in her eyes. Nobody remembers her gameshows because they ended years ago, nobody remembers her because Gardenview closed years ago, nobody's interested in learning about her as she's outdated technology to them now. She'd be alone, only able to quiz Shelly now, but she's heard all her questions and knows all the answers by now. She'd probably start self isolating because she just doesn't know what to do with herself, lashing out at Shanon because she genuinely doesn't understand why people aren't fans of her anymore and wants to blame someone except herself. She would be such a wreck and probably have major beef with any new technology Shanon brings home because it replaced her in her mind. Vee is now just... Vee. She's not a celebrity any more, she's not loved by anyone except the toon handler who took her in and her now popular dinosaur girlfriend, and she would not have a clue what to do about it.

Shelly would most likely have the opposite problem, she looks like a living toon just wandering around like she's a common sight to see - of course people would notice! Kids would ask her about fossils and she'd happily tell them all about what she is and their minds would be blown by how much she knows, she'd probably be asked to play by kids who think she looks really neat and be dragged to the sandbox to 'fossil hunt' whenever Shanon takes them to the park. Shanon very much would hide plastic fossils in there too just to see Shelly smile, like she used to before her museum shut down. She'd be such an interesting sight to see that she'd get stared at, often asked what she actually is, and probably would be the talk of the town for a while. Eventually everyone would know that Shelly is just there to have fun, don't bother her too much, but at first everyone would be so shocked by a living breathing toon they'd swarm the poor thing! I'm sure Shelly would be just a little irritated by the constant unwarranted attention and stares, but so happy she's no longer forgotten.

Their roles would reverse is what I'm getting at here. It gives so much Vee angst to work with and Shelly comfort... I am brainrotting over this idea if that's not obvious

[yourgamemasterthewhiterabbit]

Both my parents actually suffer from HORRID emotional dysregulation and are prone to snapping and going into rages. My sister is the same way tbh. I am now realizing this is why they are constantly baffled by the question of whether or not I am mad at them.

I don't have external meltdowns.

I could. I don't let it happen.

I keep my rage on the inside and stay pretty quiet about it. It's just as strong as theirs [physically shaking nose bleed from high blood pressure kind of bad], but like as a kid I saw how terrifying it was to be around [dad breaking dishes, mom putting our lawn chairs into walls] and I just internalized that I wasn't going to wear that anger on the outside.

So my mother genuinely cannot tell if I am just being quiet or if I am silently hearing the dial-up noises of pure rage. This has lead her to both making strong and confident statements like "You are a pacifist who would never hurt a fly U.U" but also acting like I am secretly dangerous maybe... It's because she has never seen me snap.

She knows what her temper is like [throwing chairs through walls], she knows what my father's temper is like [pick up child and toss out door], and she can tell I am being tested, but she doesn't know what happens when I snap or where that breaking point is.

Her -perhaps unhinged- solution to this, my whole life, has been to do things that should obviously enrage me or shut me down completely, like ignoring important boundaries, repeatedly, punishing me for expressing emotions or needs at all, etc... And then to constantly ask me if I am angry with her when I get too quiet [right after near directly telling me to shut up].

It has occurred to me now, they have never once seen me lose my temper, so they literally just can't tell if I am angry at them. My sister is easy, my mother fights and screams with my sister constantly, my mother understands this. My mother doesn't have any grasp of feelings or boundaries that are not screamed at her [apparently, and I fear my sister is the same way]. Her and my sister are close despite constant fucking fighting because they understand each other.

They are trying to get me to engage the same way and it is not working. I realize now that this has been hard for them.

I was so successfully taught to suppress my emotions, by being punished for any outburst, that rage quiet looks the same as any other kind of quiet from the outside. To them anyway.

I did tell her. For the record. I used my words. I did tell her very calmly that my response to rage, in order to avoid doing the things that terrified me as a child, was to simply leave [the autistic urge to GTFO]. When a situation or person causes too much of the dial-up rage noise, I simply extract myself from that situation, up to and including never speaking to a person again. I explained this calmly. I explained it calmly 100 times and I explained that I explain myself calmly as my rage response 1-5 [also pretty much every other negative emotion tbh], and I told her that what came next was me simply opting out and fucking off. I told her this. I couldn't understand why she never took me seriously, or why she never fucking understood.

I couldn't understand what made her like this.

But it's the same problem I have with everyone else multiplied by a factor of 10.

If I am explaining myself calmly, they can't understand that it's actually serious or that I am actually upset. ESPECIALLY because they read me as "female" and women "aren't that rational" so if I am not screaming and crying about something, which I never do, people assume I can't be upset and it isn't serious.

And then after having my boundaries ignored too many times despite having calmly explained how and why it's a problem [shaking inside or not]... I leave. I leave and everyone gets upset like this is unexpected behaviour, even though I told them 50 times that is how I would respond if they kept doing *the thing.*

And for neurotypical people especially, they are expecting there to be a disconnect between what someone says they need or feel and what their actually boundaries and feelings are, and they expect the latter to be demonstrated with emotions. Telling them bluntly you do not function that way somehow never helps?

My mother isn't just looking for normal yelling or a few tears to know I am serious, whether or not I do those either [I don't], she's looking for an explosion to know there's a problem at all.

Fucked if I know how she proceeds through life this way in general or if this is just her expectation of her own kids???

And I couldn't get why my mother couldn't read my emotions and didn't seem to think I have any. It's because she's testing for the rage limit to see where my 'actual' limit is instead of taking my word for it. Never the fuck mind that she could simply *not* test at my boundaries instead of letting me have them. Separate issue.

I couldn't figure out what made her *like this*

She's expecting me to throw a giant meltdown violent tantrum at people when I have 'actually' had enough. Maybe she got away with those being like 5'4" in another time, but I am the size of the average man, I do not get to have giant screaming rages, whether or not people perceive me consciously as a woman, and least of all because a lot of people -at least unconsciously- read me as 'masculine' or at least always "they guy" of the situation compared to all other women and some men [bigger stronger and more rational, more able to just absorb the damage and let it go so the less rational screaming/crying one doesn't have to be dealt with]. Even if it was in me to be willing to terrify people [usually never], there are such limited instances where it wouldn't just blow back on me. Potentially very dangerously.

I am going to be the quiet calm one. You are going to have to let me use my words, bitch.

So she kept ignoring my boundaries until I had to cut her out of my life, and she probably doesn't understand and probably thinks it feels sudden -after 36 long years of bullshit- abrupt and unfair.

But I told her hundreds of times.

I probably should have just screamed at her.

[king-spite]

genuinely believe that the only correct way to approach the whole marecal vs mareven deal is to adore all three of them with your whole heart. and see them as a trio rather than a love triangle. like sorry but if you don't lowkey fw all of them and like each of them as a character on their own AND accept the many layers of the relationship they have with one another you're not getting things right :/

[selfship-confession-box]

to be quite honest. shipping with CANON (not headcanoned) exclusively gay/lesbian characters as someone of the gender they are explicitly not attracted to is a form of erasure and lowkey homophobic. 'just make them bi' is a bad take. bi people are amazing and valid but not everyone is bisexual??? 'theyre not real' is a bad take bc representation matters and i feel like that doesnt really need to be said. obviously the character isnt real and isnt offended but gay/lesbian selfshippers can see how much you dont gaf abt their identities. gay people exist in real life too!!! homophobia is still so acceptable in fandom spaces and its kinda wild.

Actually this one gets to skip the queue because we just had another anon push their luck about this. I WAS originally going to leave this in queue but now feels like a better time to nip this in the bud.

This is the LAST thing I'm saying about this topic because frankly it's the majority of what we've been getting recently and it's exhausting. All future asks about this topic WILL be deleted. AS STATED ABOVE. DO WHAT YOU WANT FOREVER. YOUR EXPERIENCE IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE.

TAKING POTSHOTS AT EACH OTHER IS NOT A CONFESSION.

THAT'S CALLED BEING AN ASSHOLE.

k thanks bye

[teamfursonaaa]

I got Cyberpunk 2077 despite several people telling me not to and omg I am having so much fun. This game is great 10/10 would recommend

[alltheoutsinfreeeee]

is there any magical girl anime still out there that doesn't have any fanservice? Shows like Precure, Cardcaptor Sakura or Madoka?

And if there isn't, are there at least any shows where the fanservice isn't with elementary school girls?

[perpetuallyconfusing]

Do you know what dihydrogen monoxide is? It sounds scary doesn't it? Well jokes on you it's fucking water. We know water by water, or sometimes if we're being scientific we'll call it H2O

WELL H20 IS ITS FUCKING INITIALS

It Stands for dihydrogen monoxide! Dihydrogen means two hydrogen, monoxide means one oxygen

Its 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom! Aka WATER

Sodium chloride is table salt!

C12H22O11

AKA Dodecacarbon duokaieikosihydrogen hendeka oxygen

AKA 12 CARBON, 22 HYDROGEN, AND 11 OXYGEN ATOMS

THATS FUCKING CANE SUGAR

If you're afraid of chemicals you piss me off!

Chemicals are just combinations of multiple atoms!

Atoms make up everything!

Everything is fucking chemicals!

Your fucking SPIT is a chemical!

[strangerchurby]

Looking for some fanfic recs and would love for our community to help me find a variety of things to put in my back pocket for my bedtime story fixes. What I'm looking for is the general theme of 'Reunited Years Later'. I don't care if it's canon, in fact it's probably better if not given the other desires. Oh, minor note, they should be on Ao3 please, I just work better with keeping track of things there. Which are: Characters: Any combination of Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Billy Hargrove (all others welcome around the edges, but one of these three should be MC)

Ships: Let's start with Gen is fine. I love Gen Fic (especially if in this case it's getting people back together for more USD fighting many years later or maybe a 'getting the band back together' theme). But I'm happy to have any combination of the above characters but also Stancy (but only if they were not romantically involved in the years apart), Munver (Jason has to have some background emotional improvement), Hellcheer, Tommy Hagan and either Steve or Billy.

AUs: Bonus points if it's 'getting the band back together' literally or metaphorically, Everyone Lives AUs, drawn back to Hawkins to fight the USD shit again years later, or No Upside-Down but reuniting after becoming successful/settled. Also bonus points if any of the boys has a kid.

Length: Either 4k+ if completed, or any level of WIP (including seemingly abandoned fic. Not that I don't like short short stuff too, but for bed time I prefer at certain length to let the sleepies settle in, and I find that hits at about 4k or more. Rating: Any is fine, but if it's higher rating i'd prefer it not just be a PWP. Any advice anyone has is just the best. Thanks! Just throw a fic name or link in the comments, or reblog with a link. You're all heroes.
