#Clarke is exhausted

[frownyalfred]

Bruce ignoring hals “you up?” Texts is killing lol

Imagine clark seeing them still bc hal doesnt know theyre in a relationship

Maybe that’s a great idea for an epilogue…Clark and Bruce happily cuddling in bed and Bruce’s phone going off with texts. But instead of getting jealous or sad, Clark just grabs Bruce and squeezes him to his chest because he can now, and yeah maybe Bruce is silently laughing at him but that’s okay, he wants to do this now. And of course Bruce takes that opportunity to make a joke about buying Hal a thank you gift…Clark gets a little tense and says “sleeping with you was a gift” and they both get a little quiet as their eyes lock, they realize how close they are, and how much this is still bittersweet because those days of longing don’t disappear overnight…..and then they fuck, because duh.

it’s so fucking exhausting to constantly see when anyone is trying to uplift a wbb basketball player, a cc fan is ALWAYS there to fucking yap and talk about all the reasons why she’s better when her name didn’t even have a proper place in the conversation

her fanbase is just so consistently disrespectful and racist no matter what app you’re on. i’m tired. we’re all tired.

paige and cc are different players. angel and cc are different players. juju and cc are different players.

the list goes fucking on

the constant comparisons and blatant hate are just exhausting and unneeded. istg i’ve never seen a more hateful fanbase. i’m all for uplifting cc and acknowledging her insane accomplishments, but my god doing that does not mean disrespecting and disregarding other wbb player’s achievements. there’s a difference and y’all need to fucking learn that

Hal: I just learned that sometimes Spooky likes to say things in hyperbole

Clark, confused: How so?

Bruce, walks in (absolutely exhausted): I'm working too much, my vision start glitching...

Hal: Well, there's an example!

Bruce, looking at Hal and Clark that are glitching (literally) in his vision: ....??

Or, Batman may or may not be an android?

Your Dad has had a long day at work, boys. Don’t disturb him when he’s sleeping.

[blushedfemmes]

Do you think it's possible for someone who isn't stone to have a respectful sexual relationship with someone who is?

oh absolutely. i vent a lot abt my anxieties over being stone and dating on here (sorry) but it’s really not that deep. i’m just a very neurotic person lol.

ofc there needs to be communication and a willingness to be open to one another’s needs and how they can be met! but people with incompatible needs negotiate and find ways to remain in connection all the time.

stone4stone is beautiful and important, but it is NOT the only option for stone folks. we can have sex and be in relationships with people who aren’t stone. all we need to do is communicate, and it’s up to the other person to decide whether they need something we can’t give 💓

*takes a deep breath*

*exhales*

if it’s not too much trouble can you write a ben x tyler fic where they’re just being soft and cute 🥺👉👈 (or ben is tending to tyler’s wound or something? idk im sorry for bothering you!!)

how dare you assume you're bothering me

The others were already asleep on the bed. They were curled up, huddled together, as if seeking each other’s warmth before midnight passed and they were brought back to reality, brought back to their own rooms.

Ben rinsed off his hands in the bathroom. The six of them were currently in Ben’s own room. He could see Aiden, Ashlyn, Taylor, and Logan were already asleep, but Tyler stayed awake, sitting on the edge of the bed. Ben couldn't blame him for wanting to watch his sister, just in case anything happened.

Ben turned off the water, drying his hands on the towel Alex had left there. The bracelet Taylor and Ashlyn had made for everyone glowed in the dim light. 

“Ben?” a voice croaked. 

Ben left the bathroom. Tyler was holding his side again. He only wore his undershirt, his black jacket tossed onto the floor. More red seeped through the fabric.

Ben rushed over to where Tyler sat. His hands shook.

“Sorry,” Tyler mumbled. His voice was raspy and dry from not speaking. He cleared his throat, swallowed, then said, “It’s bleeding again. I can't stop it…”

Ben quickly shook his head. He wanted to say that it was okay, that it was fine, that it wasn't Tyler's fault. He slowly lifted up his shirt. He was right.

Blood seeped through the wound on his side. His bandages were all soaked with red. Tyler's breaths were becoming labored again.

Ben looked up into Tyler's dark brown eyes. His own were gentle, calming. It's okay. You're going be okay, he thought. He quickly reached for the First Aid kit they'd picked up earlier, pulling on some gloves first.

I'm sorry, Ben thought. This is going to hurt.

Tyler let out a hiss, a strangled yelp, clenching onto Ben's hand as he cleaned the area around the wound with antiseptic wipes. Tyler squeezed his eyes shut, clutching harder onto Ben. 

“Sorry,” Tyler said again, voice strained. His eyes were still closed.

Ben shook his head once more. It's not your fault. He handed Tyler a cloth to bite on, pulling out a needle and thread.

Ben could see some tears appear underneath Tyler's lashes. He felt guilty. He knew this hurt him.

Another sound pained him. 

Tyler let out a short sob, before quickly closing his mouth. Ben hated how hurt Tyler was, but he couldn't say anything to comfort him.

The stitches were done. Ben quickly wrapped new bandages around Tyler's waist before gently pulling his shirt back down.

“I'm sorry,” Tyler sobbed for the third time.

Stop saying sorry. It's not your fault.

“I should've been careful earlier…I should've been holding onto something so I wouldn't fall out of the car…” Tyler's chest heaved.

Ben has never seen him cry before. Not really. Without thinking, Ben hurriedly took off his gloves, brushing Tyler's face softly, wiping away the tears.

“I hate this so much…” Tyler groaned. Their hands touched each other on the bed. “I'm so sorry for making you clean up after me…after my mess--”

Ben shook his head, motioning for Tyler to stop. He reached for his notebook.

It's not your fault, he wrote. You're okay.

Tyler said nothing. Those dark brown eyes were empty. Suddenly, his head dropped onto Ben's shoulder.

They didn't say anything.

+++++

Tyler was asleep. He either fell asleep from exhaustion or from stress, but Ben was glad he was sleeping all the same.

Carefully, he picked Tyler up, setting him down on the bed, near his sister. He probably wouldn't remember any of this in the morning.

Ben sat down on the bed, watching Tyler. His breaths were calmer now.

Slowly, he closed his eyes.

LETS TALK ABOUT JUDGE ANGELS/DINA

…More specifically the weird Se*ualization of her

This is probably something I just missed like cuz I left the fandom for a while but I’ve seriously never seen anyone bring up the weird over se*ualization of Dina FROM HER OWN CREATOR!

I bring it up one cuz seriously I see people call it out with Lazaris creator all the time but I’ve never once seen it for Dinas and two cuz I was looking at their creators deviantart for references of both Dina and Nurse Ann and oh boy the things I saw 💀

Like tell me why Dina who is STATED TO BE 15..IS DRAWN FREQUENTLY IN LINGERIE like there’s multiple pictures of it, not to mention the weird poses like that one where she’s laying in blood and covering herself with her sword with is really really weird to me.

Also the fact that the literal teenager is more se*ualized than the adult character Ann like theres maybe one drawing of her I’ve seen that’s a bit suggestive but again at least she’s an adult.

ALSO the creator does indeed have older variations of Dina, one where she’s 20 and one where she’s 26 I believe. SO WHY ARE YOU NOT USING THEM NO INSTEAD THEY USE THE 15YO VERSION!!

FUCKING LOOK AT THIS HOW IS THIS OKAY!? WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT IT! AND YES THIS IS FROM ACTUAL ART BY JUDGE ANGELS CREATOR ON THEIR DEVIANTART FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!!

Don't know about you guys but I understand Francis' depression and alcoholism. I, too, would be fed up if both my girlfriends were called James.

comic book men>>>>> real men

[kill-vonkarma-again]

a little while ago i started connecting the dots between diff iconic gay duos (goku/vegeta. naruto/sasuke. superman/batman. sonic/shadow. beacon of hope/tortured edgelord) and how that relates to My Boys nrmts. and while it 100% fits i think it's funny that phoenix takes the hilarious distinction of being the most gigantic bitch out of anyone in the "beacon of hope" column

[frownyalfred]

Love superbat but always had a soft spot for Bruce and Ollie together. How does Green Arrow rank in that jl members list of people to go to for casual encounters? Also, Hal being on top much to Bruce's chagrin is hilarious and oh so very right.

Higher than Clark but lower than Hal, he's got too much history with Ollie and the risks to both their identities are high. Plus Ollie has attachments to other long term partners, so while he gets a ton of points for willingness to hook up and leave it at that, things have the potential to get messy very quickly. Messy is not ideal.

Didn't get a reply back on this but I'm going to post a few (DC) recs anyway? These are mostly places I think are good to start. (Disclaimer that these are influenced by personal taste).

Easy mode: Short contained run, probably less than 30 issues (can be more), very unlikely to have any crossovers, does not require much (if any) further knowledge of characters.

Medium mode: Approx 40-75 issues, will have some crossovers but you won't need to read them if you don't want to, may require a little wiki-ing about some characters/events but only if you're curious.

Hard(er) mode: We're reaching 100+ issue territory, many crossovers (some which can be ignored, some which may be confusing if ignored but you can wiki those if you don't want to read them). Believe me it is fairly easy to ignore a missing crossover/event issue and barrel on back to the main story in most cases.

Green Lanterns

Easy: Far Sector, Green Lantern: Legacy - both self-contained, introduce new characters.

Medium: Green Lantern Corps vol 2(2006-2011) - a few crossovers events here, (don't feel you have to read every blackest night crossover lmao just read what you want even if that is just this comic alone), Green Lanterns (2016-2018) (Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz).

Hard(er): Green Lantern vol 3 (1990-2006) (Kyle Rayner's run) #48 onwards, long run, not all of it is amazing quality but it is more good than not. Significant number of crossovers because this spans 12 years.

Superman

Easy: The Man of Steel (1986) six issue mini reintroducing Superman post-crisis, Superman Red & Blue (2021), Superman Smashes the klan (2019-2020), Batman/Superman: World's Finest (2022-ongoing)

Hard(er): Superman (1987-2006) + The Adventures of Superman (1987-2006) + Action Comics (1938-2011 starting at #597) These 3 titles run concurrently and the story sometimes moves from one to the next meaning you will miss something if you're not reading all three. (I am currently reading these and am only in the first quarter so cannot say anything about quality of later issues).

More under read more

Blue Beetle

Easy: Blue Beetle vol 2 (1986-1988)(Ted Kord), Blue Beetle vol 3 (2006-2011)(Jaime Reyes)

Hard(er): Justice League International/America (it renames at issue #26) (1987-1998) Team book (obviously) and a long run where quality is not always consistent but is fun overall and essential for Ted's character.

Booster Gold

Easy: Booster Gold vol 1 (1986)

Hard-(er): Justice League International/America (see above)

Misc.

Easy: Young Justice (1998-2003) (if you like Tim, Kon, Bart, Cassie etc an essential read)

Medium: Wonder Woman vol 5 (2016-2023) #1-#54 a good re-introduction of Diana post n52 (side note that I've heard Wonder Woman vol 2 (1987-2006) is good but I have not read it yet).

Clarke + Bellamy separated, fight tirelessly to try and save their missing friends

[iamfitzwilliamdarcy]

Snyderverse Superman:

Doesn’t hit that kid even though he wanted to

Telling everyone to go inside when trying to fight the Kryptonians

Turns himself over humankind

Saves the little girl from the fire (no one else was going to help her) (in another country) (walks away from investigating Bruce/Batman to do this)

There’s literally a whole sequence of him saving people in BvS??

Approaches Bruce ASKING FOR HELP AND FORGIVENESS

BRUCE PLEASE I WAS WRONG
