#Song is Superman by Five for Fighting

[torchflies]

In June of 1964, Nicky Bradshaw is six years old — his Mama and Daddy are real sad after his big brother Jack went MIA in a place called Vietnam.  

A doctor told Mama a long time ago that after Nicky hurt her insides coming out, she couldn’t have no more babies. 

Two months after Jack dies — Nicky wakes up to a fire in the cornfields that surround their Nebraska farm. He wants to help, but Mama tucks him right back in bed, telling him that Daddy will handle it. 

Come morning though, Daddy’s dug Nicky’s old crib out from the barn and there’s a baby in it, a little boy with dark hair and big green eyes, looking at Nicky with a gummy smile. Mama says that’s his little brother, Pete. 

Daddy says he named him Peter cause he came a long way.  

Nicky won’t know just how far, until he’s sixteen and he finds strange metal out in the cornfield — stamped with a big funny looking S.

Sing Me A Story> Two Takes On Superman

BW Media Spotlight is unusually disappointed in what was learned for this installment Sing Me A Story> Two Takes On Superman. Usually the research makes the song better--NOT WORSE!

I’ve considered doing an article series just for Superman songs. There are so many songs that reference or outright discuss Superman but I’ve had a hard time finding one that I feel really understands the character, nevermind speaking to what I love about my favorite superhero. It doesn’t help that currently Superman’s values are either ignored by writers, editors, and directors, or looked down…

Superman (It’s Not Easy) by Five for Fighting

is Toshinori Yagi's song

“It may sound absurd, but don't be naive / Even heroes have the right to bleed / I may be disturbed, but won't you concede / Even heroes have the right to dream? / And it's not easy to be me”

Day 19: Blood Trail

There was always blood.

It wasn’t always red or distinctly human, but after fights like these Alex usually found herself following a trail of something dripping and sticky. Sometimes the drops have sprayed after a high fall. Sometimes the trail is thicker and spreads along the ground. But there is a trail nonetheless. 

Alex walks between the ruined buildings and craters, following the steady drip drip drip along the ground. It isn’t too thick today, but that meant it might be longer. People bleeding heavily don’t tend to make it that far. 

It’s probably not even Kara’s. Sure she’d been spotted in this area, but it had been a bad fight. Lots of people got caught up in the destruction. It could be any one of them. 

But it had been a bad fight. And Kara had been close to solar flaring when they lost contact. 

Alex picks her way around a smashed sign and continues along the eerily empty street. The other teams were busy rounding up the last of the combatants, some children of liberty wanabees juiced up on harun-el. After crossing 4th street, the only people Alex had encountered were a few firefighters. The only living ones, anyway. 

A particularly heavy smear marks one of the exposed pillars. Alex glances at it and continues on her way. The handprint was around Kara’s size.  Anyway there’s no point to worrying. Kara’s fine. She’s always fine. She’ll be there after a few more minutes all dusty and singed and talking about how badly she needs a shower or a pizza or to crash at home and watch some stupid musical — Bootprints. Kara’s size.— And it will be fine. And that’s if it’s Kara. Which it might not be. 

Alex isn’t sure when this little routine started. The Daxamite invasion? When Kara had shrugged her off without letting Alex check her wounds to go help find survivors? No. Maybe Reactron, when Superman had brought her in. Or was it earlier? Before the fighting. Before the blood. When she’d just been running after some annoying new interloper to her family, hoping she hadn’t said something weird and gotten them all caught. 

Maybe she started chasing after Kara the day she’d arrived, and just never stopped, even as Kara made it increasingly difficult to follow. 

Alex climbs over a boulder that might have once been the top edge of the McCoy building. There’s another handprint. Same size. Alex steps inside. 

The blood has become thicker here. Instead of a few drops here and there, a steady spatter tracks its way across the atrium and towards the lefthand doors. Alex steps carefully to avoid disturbing the trail. 

Rocks near the exit crackle and shift and Alex freezes, hand on her weapon. Kara may be out here, but there could be enemy stragglers too. She hears a distant moan, almost keening. Someone is hurt. Someone is hurt badly. 

Heart hammering in her ears, Alex tiptoes toward the noise. As she does, Alex hears something else. Singing. 

All caution forgotten, Alex sprints toward Kara’s distant voice, stumbling over rocks and rubble. The words to the song are incomprehensible, but Alex recognizes them all the same. 

It’s an old Kryptonian lullaby, one Kara had sung to her the night Jeremiah died. She’d sat with her and rocked her and sung until the sun began to rise out the window and Alex could finally breathe without wanting to retch. 

She knows this song. And she knows the way Kara’s breath hitches mid-line and voice shakes. 

Alex launches herself around a corner and sees a flash of red in the gray rubble— 

Kara sits against a wall on the opposite side of the street. She looks up as Alex arrives, stops singing. 

There is a boy in her arms. He can’t be more than five. His leg is tied in a makeshift tourniquet. His eyes are open. He is not breathing. 

There is a moment. Just a moment. Just a fraction of a second. Alex looks at that limp, bleeding body, and all she feels is relief. 

And then she looks up at Kara’s trembling hands and tear stained face and Kara begins to speak. 

“I found him when I crashed.” She says. She’s still rocking. “I tried to bandage him up but he just kept bleeding.” Alex approaches slowly, gently. The boy’s lips are purple. His leg still leeches blood onto the pavement. 

“You did everything you could. A wound like that is hard to treat in the field even with the right tools.” 

“I though maybe I could find him some help. But there’s nobody around. I called and called--” 

“You did everything you could.” Alex repeats firmly. She starts to peel the body away from Kara’s tight grip. “It’s okay. Come on, let’s get you home.”  Alex spares a single glance at the body as she leads Kara away, before reaching for her comms.

“Alpha team this is Danvers. Supergirl is located and unharmed. I repeat. Supergirl is located and unharmed. Send a body crew to my location. Civilian casualty. Over.”

I was in Pittsburgh when I saw Superman in the backroom He was doing lines or something in the bathroom I barely recognized him at all I saw him doing things you shouldn't do with all that power I wish someone would have thrown him in the shower I barely recognized him at all That night I put my youth in a casket And buried it inside of me That night I saw through all the magic Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero I burned all the pictures in the attic And threw away the magazines That night I saw through all the magic And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero I tried to look away but you can't look away from a trainwreck

Their closest relationship: Soldier - Gavin DeGraw

I'll get it if you need it, I'll search if you don't see it, You're thirsty, I'll be rain, You get hurt, I'll take your pain. I know you don't believe it, But I said it and I still mean it, When you heard what I told you, When you get worried I'll be your soldier. Funny when times get hard, At the last moment when you're supposed to charge, Always on the longest yard, Oh, they feel their feet getting cold. Hiding here, hiding there, Find them underneath the stairs, People hiding everywhere, Trying to be still like a stone.

Another day in black and white One, two, three, four, five Another week goes by I'm half alive I'm getting sick of faking this I'm over it Don't wanna wear no suit and tie Gotta live before I die So I'm done, done, done With this ordinary life What happened to the someday? What happened to the dreams of the wide-eyed kid? Don't tell me that it's too late Don't tell me that I can't cause you never did

Event that defines your character's past: Fallen Angel - Three Days Grace

Late at night I could hear the crying I hear it all, trying to fall asleep When all the love around you is dying How do you stay so strong? How did you hide it all for so long?

How your character sees themselves: Numb - 8 Graves

All I want is to feel a bit We could fall in love, you could slit my wrist I could tell you now that they both 'gonn feel the same I've been wide awake, I've been blacking out I've been locked away, could you let me out? 'Cause I've grown so tired of existing in this cage I remember when I used to feel (it was beautiful) But I guess that's something you can steal (and I lost it all) Now nothing seems to feel too real (unbelievable) What have I been running from? How did I become so numb? I'm so numb I give up What have I been running from? How did I become so numb? All I want is a night of sleep You could knock me out, I could rest in peace I don't mind if I get to close my eyes I've been day to day, I've been dying slow If you find a way, could you let me know? My confusion no longer comes as a surprise

A major fight scene: Russian Roulette - Tungevaag

Event that defines your character's past: Tag You're It - Melanie Martinez

Looking at me through your window Boy, you had your eye out for a little "I'll cut you up and make you dinner You've reached the end, you are the winner" Rolling down your tinted window Driving next to me real slow, he said "Let me take you for a joyride I've got some candy for you inside" Running through the parking lot He chased me and he wouldn't stop Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it Grabbed my hand, pushed me down Took the words right out my mouth Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it Can anybody hear me when I'm hidden underground?

polywar dating hcs

- I mentioned before that I think Izzy is the one who thinks everything is a date, her preferred love language is quality time so for dates Duke always likes to walk home with her or just sit in a park together

- more often than not they will lose track of time and talk for hours. they never seem to run out of things to talk about either, from that movie Duke watched last night to the dumb meme Izzy scrolled past this morning or even a surprisingly heated debate over the objectively best pokemon (eelektross vs lucario)

- they'll always end up talking in the weirdest places too (like the middle of a roundabout or the elevator to a fancy hotel neither of them have heard of) but they don't really mind or notices when Izzy's hour 2 of her 'why all her partners need to binge watch cowboy bebop on their next movie night' rant or Duke ranking all his fictional crushes (Storm is number one followed closely by Ben 10)

- Duke and Dax have the most similar music taste of any of the group, most of their dates are looking around music store (cuz when your in a poly relationship of five at least one of you collects records) or going to live gigs together. Duke has consistently been to every single frown clown gig (except a few that he missed due to missions). Dax usually invites any of his partners in the audience onto the stage during the last song of every show and at this point any frown clown fans or regulars in the gotham hardcore scene recognise at least one or two members of the polycule.

- even tho Duke and Dax have the most similar music tastes Duke still prefers metal while Dax prefers punk music.

- Duke and Dax's first kiss was definitely at a batman's @#$& concert

- Dre and Duke butt heads most out of all the polycule, they don't really connect in the same way as the rest of the partners, and didn't really consider themselves dating until the polycule had been around for about a year.

- despite this they did work hard to improve their relationship and ended up falling for each other just as they fell for their other partners.

- Duke and Dre's dates are usually in the gym or doing some kind of physical activity, it started with Dre teaching Duke boxing when they were both robins and later Duke showed him fighting combos he practiced with Cass, eventually they started some different sports like rock climbing and trampolining (idk if those are considered sports tho) they always have this level of competition between them that they don't really have with any of their other partners. but it's sorta Duke and Dre's weird brand of love

- i think it was in my last post i mentioned that Duke has the weirdest date ideas, well Riko isn't far behind.

- a lot of the time their dates start out normal. they just rarely stay that way.

- like the time when they planned on having just a regular lunch date and ended up with them in metropolis, head to toe in superman merch and getting storage looks on the bus back to gotham. or that time they tried to recreate iconic kisses from movies and they ended up stuck on the roof of the wayne enterprises building with Harley Quinn and a box set of Powerpuff girls.

- people outside the polycule never believe them when they explain their dates to them but Izzy, Dax and Dre have gotten used to the special brand of chaos that comes with Riko and Dukes dates

Author's Note: Forty-something year old Eric's playlist. This is the decade the gang makes fun for him for his music taste. To be fair, he kind of deserves it.

Bonuses:

"Hey Ya" by Outkast is Eric's default "let's embarrass the kids by blasting it loudly" song. "In Da Club" is another good one.

If I included 2010, he would totally insist he's got the moves like Jagger.

Super Doo Au Prompt #1

So, as I mentioned in an earlier... ( I don't know the term. Post? Tumbl? Crack? Blog?), Superman only got his super powers after eating some of Ma Kent's baking.

For this prompt, the Kent's live in/around Coolville/Crystal Cove, and Clark became friends with the Scooby gang while growing up. Through a number of events, the Scooby gang receives powers, and forms the core of the justice league with Superman.

Characters:

Shaggy is obviously a speedster, taking the place of the Flash. He can run real fast, and has to eat far more than a normal human can.

Scooby could be a Kryptonian super dog. If he is, then he belonged to Clark growing up, until Shaggy and Clark "married" and raised Scooby as their son. Eventually, Shaggy and Clark "divorced", and the judge (The school children) awards equal custody. (It was a highly controversial decision, and regular fist fights still break out even though none of the children are still in school)(Shaggy and Clark are best friends though)

Alternatively, Scooby could be able to transform into other animals, as well as be an excellent mimic. He could also turn into a larger version of himself.

Velma could be the girl in the chair. However, I propose something different. Hot Dog Water is the girl in the chair, and Velma is a cyborg-like character. Hell, both Hot Dog Water and Velma could have enhancements. They are also dating b/c obviously.

Daphne is Batman. Flat out. She funds the gang, knows a ridiculous amount of unique topics, and has a bit of a ditzy public persona. Either no additional powers, or maybe something that makes her really lucky.

Fred is difficult. On one hand, he could be Batman with how much he loves traps and in certain timelines is rich and acts like an absolute himbo. On the other, he is a bit of a himbo. So instead, he gets powers to control metal, somewhat.

Something that will let him tinker with the Mystery Machine, let him fully construct traps, let him lift large objects with ease. Eventually someone thinks to put some metal in a rope, and Fred now controls ropes. (The amount of sex/bondage jokes are outstanding, and Fred just smiles and nods along. He has no idea what anyone is talking about. People make a comment about kinks and he's just like "??? there are no kinks in this rope???". Fred is a human golden retriever.)

Scrappy could be a Bizzarro clone of Scooby, or just be part of a junior team.

The Hex girls absolutely get saved one time, and make custom theme songs for each of the gang as thanks.

Vincent Van Ghoul is like John Constantine. He uses his acting career as cover while he deals with demons. He is also unimpressed with the... lackadaisical attitude of the gang.

The Parents:

Ma and Pa Kent have that midwest farmer attitude. If you're there, you'll do your work and eat your fill. Family is the most important thing, and you leave 30 minutes to an hour after you say goodbye. You also leave with about twenty various leftovers. (Oh, we'll never eat this pie. And I know chocolate chip is your favorite. I made too much mashed potatoes, take some, etc.) They never throw anything away (It could be useful), and they always tell people to watch out for deer as they leave.

The Kents know Clark has super powers, so when he starts having helpers, they figure out who it is pretty quickly. Que Clark telling outrageous lies to protect his friends and his parents pretending to believe him. Ma Kent always piles Shaggy's food much higher than everyone b/c "he's a growing boy" and not because she knows he needs way more calories. Pa Kent asks for Fred's help around the farm because Fred can move tractors easier. Etc.

For the rest of the parents, they should be caring, but a little oblivious. except Fred's parents. Fred's parents being evil and him not realizing because he can be very oblivious to his loved ones is funny. Like, "Oh, my parents aren't evil, they just *insert terrible excuse that a five year old wouldn't fall for*"

Ages:

I would say it could start 14-15 for that sweet, sweet puberty angst. and also to start the threats small. As the gang gets more used to their powers, they can start going further afield.

That's all I've got for now,

Tune in next time for more cracked out ideas.

[overdevelopedglasses]

trick or treat 😈

Gah! Lexi!

Okokok.... something a bit different.

Anyone want OC songs?

Just gonna limit myself and do 1 each.

For Shinumi:

This is the first song in his playlist, and I totally imagine a MV/animatic just. Going through his life. Special shout to "choke the dark down" and "kill the body, not the memory"

For Fekami:

I'm kinda surprised about this one. Fekami doesn't really *have* a playlist, but i need to make him one. I was just trying to scroll through songs and im not sure why, but this one clicked.

I'd want to do my Essence Cast but that's a lot of explaining. I'll talk about Lily's song, and just kinda. Leave everyone to make sense of the other 6 XD

So for Lily:

This just. Wailing.

This is 100% in the second half of the story (uhh shit happens) and this is definitely when like. Everyone is wondering where "the hero" went and where they could've gone and just. I listen to this song and think "poor Lily" without fail. Shoutout to "I may be disturbed, but won't you concede, even heroes have the right to dream?"

Finally, for the rest of the gang:

Enzo

I was tagged by @rose-of-pollux. Thank you!

"One of Us" as sung by Cher (I love Cher's ABBA album)

"A Nice Boy Like Me" by Barry Manilow (Sandy Duncan sang this song on The Muppet Show, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that it was originally a song by my man Barry. What's even worse is that this is the one and only Barry Manilow record that I personally own; I'd just...never got around to listening to it 😅)

"Make Your Own Kind of Music" by Mama Cass (look, I already adore "California Dreamin'", so when this song became a meme, it was only a matter of time before it ended up on my playlist, because it is a bop (and my students thought so, too))

"Grandma's Feather Bed" by John Denver (another song performed by the Muppets! But this one I knew already before watching the show; a recent rewatch just elevated it to playlist status)

"Superman (It's Not Easy)" by Five for Fighting (when I was about 5, my dad started burning me CD mixtapes of songs of my choosing; this song made CD number 2, which probably would have been a few months (to a year at most) after it came out. It has remained a constant on just about every other playlist I've made since.)

I tag anyone and everyone who wants to share some music!

Whoa; mind blown

3 Doors Down wrote a song called “Kryptonite” 

Five for Fighting wrote “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” 

Remy Zero wrote “Save Me,” which is the theme song for Smallville, a TV show about Clark Kent as a teenager 

And all these bands have numbers in their names!
