Reversal Nova

(Here is what I have created so far in my Reverse AU)

A alternate universe where the roles are swapped, whether for the better or the worse...

Sonic: Dr. Boom, a hedgehog skilled in speed and mechanics. He was actually a kid, Robotnik took under his wing. He had a natural talent for inventing and machinery, but Dr. Boom saw potential in power such as the chaos emeralds to advance the machines, Robotnik didn't approve of this answer terminated all Dr.Boom's work. Feeling betrayed, the Hedgehog ran away and turned against the world that deemed him unworthy to advance it to a era of peace and freedom.

Shadow: Nocturnal Eye, partner of Dr. Boom and Leader of the alien race: Black Arms, on the planet. He seems relatively harmless to the unsuspecting eye, but he is a master of illusion and chaos energy.

Tails: Dr. Cosmos, a fellow technician and mechanical genius who sides with Dr. Boom. His machinery is known to be quite efficient and reliable, a master of words and creating machines that act as mimics around other mobians. Truly a terrifying feat for someone of his age.

Amy: Vermillion, Teller of the Future and Leader of the "Rosebuds" a group of warriors who can see into the future and protect the present to prevent disasters from occurring.

Eggman: Ivo Robotnik, Hero of Station City and the world as a whole, uses his mechanical prowess and power of lightning to defend the innocent from the hands of Dr. Boom and other villains that follow suit. Has a short patience and can be easy to annoy with petty insults tho.

Rouge: Carmine, guardian of the Master Emerald, and last of the Bat Treasure Hunters, a tribe of bats that would hunt treasure and steal from the rich to give to the poor. Has to deal with an annoying an Echidna that is also a treasure hunter with a strange connection to the emerald and tries to take it for himself.

Knuckles: Titian, an independent echidna treasure hunter, skilled in many forms of combat and is quite a people person, he has fierce personality which causes him to bump heads alot with Carmine, all he wants is understand why he feels so drawn to the Master Emerald, sure he always takes the Chaos Emeralds but that isn't the case this time, if only he could get Carmine to believe that.

Silver: Ivory, a prince from an alternate dimension that tends to interlap with Robotnik's, when it does, he tends to stick around and offer aid where he can with the help of his powers of ice.

Blaze: Lustre, a time traveler from the distant future that is both in distress and at peace given its destroyed state, has the power of Umbrakinesis and Aerokinesis, allowing her to use wind and darkness together to create bendable space matter for combat

Metal Ivo: A robot version of Robotnik created by Dr. Boom, a silent robot but he very much as attitude towards his enemies

Infinite: Zero the Jackal, member of the Rosebuds. He is able to harness the power of the purple chaos emerald and create illusions as a distraction while he disarms his opponents. Joined the squad because he is in search of his missing partner, Gadget the Wolf, who disappeared several years ago

Surge: Beryl the Tenrec, another member of the Rosebuds and childhood friend of Vermillion, knows why she created the Rosebuds and sticks by her through it all. Is raising a younger brother she adopted in all this chaos, and can harness the powers of lightning

Scourge: Jules Terios Hedgehog, Dr. Boom's twin brother, he fights on the side of the heroes and is the main reason Dr. Boom truly hasn't killed anyone yet and why no one tries to kill Dr. Boom. Jules hopes one day he'll get his twin back

Eclipse: Arcane "The Ultimate Hope" , the Nocturnal Eye's aka Spectre's younger brother. Created by Nocturnal Eye's hands, Arcane is symbolized as a beacon of hope, not only for Spectre and the Black Arms on the planet, but also for Dr. Boom. He is torn as he wishes to live life on the planet but is bound by his duty to his older brother.

Maria: Maria R. Lunae, a woman of unknown origins. No one knows who she is or where she came from, all they know is her research revolves around the Black Arms, protecting the leader that resides on the planet and a young alien from the Black Arms that tries to blend in with society (Eclipse)

[howlingday]

AU idea Salem was the one who Died of illness and Ozma tries to find a way to bring her back by becoming a Lich.

Hey, a swap AU! Let's see how bad I screw this up.

--------------------------------------------------

"I am Gen..." The large, blue figure introduced itself. With a smile, he leaned forward, resting his chin on the back of his hand as if the blue clouds beneath him were a mattress. "I am a being created by the Goddess of Light to aid humanity in their pursuit of knowledge. I have been granted the ability to answer three questions every one hundred years. You are in luck, as I am currently able to answer-"

"That's enough!" Shouted a familiar voice. Cinder turned to the hooded girl, who'd now shifted from sweet, innocent Ruby Rose to Salem.

"-two questions." The group stared at the small girl with red eyes. Didn't Salem say that the relics wouldn't work? If that were the case, then why was the relic working just fine right now? Something wasn't adding up. "It's been too long, Salem."

"Cinder, please," Salem pleaded, "don't."

"Hey." All eyes turned to Hazel, standing close by with her arms folded. Emerald, Mercury, and Neo stepped between him and their leader. His face twisted as he considered what to say before sighing and waving a hand. "Do whatever you think is right, kid."

Cinder gulped. "Gen..?" A thousand questions raced through her mind, and yet none of them could find their way to her lips. As she looked at Ruby, whose eyes were changed from their usual silver to something more unnervingly red, one question did find its way to her lips. "What is Salem hiding from us?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"

Cinder whirled in place to find Salem reaching for her. She clutched her eyes and shielded herself, but soon found no impact was to come. Opening her eyes, she found herself separated from her team, lost in an unfamiliar world, totally alien to her. As if she were dropped into a blank canvas waiting to be painted.

"Emerald?" She called. "Mercury?"

"Cinder?" Mercury called, unaware that he'd been called for as well. "Em-"

'-erald?' Neo called with her scroll. She double-checked that her volume was on its highest setting.

"Merc?" Suddenly, the world began to build itself around Emerald. Greens and browns painted a path leading up to a hill, while a voice with no body began to weave it's tale.

"Once upon a time, there stood a lonely tower..." Smoke surrounds Emerald, only to be swatted away by Hazel. He could clearly see a tower in the distance, but his attention became focused on the sound of metal boots behind him. He turned to see a man with tanned skin and brown hair, looking determinedly forward in his thick, metal armor. "...with a princess to be rescued by a gallant knight."

Cinder stepped closer to the knight.

"Named... Ozma."

SCOGUE-Tember/Tober

Hi!

So, I decided to do a little something-something to motivate myself to create art and/or write. Part of this something-something also happens to involve my favorite X-Men: Evolution ship of all time 😚.

I will simultaneously be posting most of these to my instagram (same name as tumblr name) and maybe other sites.

Basically, I will try to create something about Cyclops/Scott Summers x Rogue/Anna Marie each day of or before the end of the month of September.

Will I succeed? Probably not.

Am I going to try anyway? Yes!

I will try to do these spontaneously, but if any of you are particularly interested in seeing one of these art prompts completed, feel free to send me an ask including the respective prompt!

I also might include personal random head-canon/side personal fan project ideas if I have the time, though those may be mostly reserved to my instagram 😅

Meet Flipped! Orbulon, who swaps with Dribble & Spitz!

I made Orbulon a human in this au to reflect how he uses his human disguise around D&S! Tried to make the exhaust pipe headband on Orby's head look like bunny ears, to match with their sibling!

Swift (any pronouns)

Swift is a Taxi Driver & mechanic, along as a programmer & artist at Waluigi's company. Swift was orphaned at a young age, and raised by a family of alien bunnies, which is where they met their big sibling & coworker Zip! Swift has always been a massive fan of drag racing & karting, and dreams of being a celebrity in the racing industry - but for now, they work as a humble cabbie.

Swift is very much a go-getter, impulsive and a bit scatterbrained- but a phenomenonal driver. They go into things with everything they have, being hard to reel in at times. But he is very compassionate and intelligent too! He can be rather estranged & awkward at first, but past that stage- they're a loving, passionate and exhilarating person to be around.

English is his second language and he struggles with it a bit, but he's gotten much better throughout his years of running a taxi business. He's good friends with the Cadenza family, and they often cross each other's paths- whether that be from Swift crashing his car through the wall of the lab, or them chatting during lunch break.

Zip (they/them)

Zip is a former driving instructor, now support cabbie driver to Swift & head mechanic at their business! Zip grew up in a large, bustling household with many siblings- most being younger than them. Due to this, Zip is used to being in a leadership role and has no problem with instructing Swift while driving. They're rather worried over the idea of their little brother getting into drag racing due to the danger of it, is glad Swift has taken up a more safe job for now.

Zip is more reserved, calculated and observant. Very laid back, until any sort of danger arises and they become an anxious, protective mess over Swift. Despite their anxiety, they're not opposed to confrontation in any way and will destroy anything that poses as a threat to them, their family or their business. With their trusty bazooka in hand, nothing stands a chance in their path.

They're very quiet, typically speaking around their brother or to customers. They prefer to stick to themselves and not make a fuss if it isn't necessary. They're acquainted with the Cadenza family, but not particularly close with any of them.

[sharonisthebettercarter]

I prefer if it was no powers at all and they're both mere mortals in the au

for the skater one, right?

for context and prompt~<3

lmao<3 fair i guess but also grrrrrrr~<3

i'm not a big fan of removing powers/attributes from canon to go with regular ol' humans, humans, and more humans au's. i'm just not. might be that i'm not a fan of humans as a species in general but the overhumanification of every damn character can tend to bug me

if we knew any aliens/alternate species/evolved homo races in real life? it'd be considered race/species swapping no question, which can also be done fine and i don't mind artists exploring, but still just not a big fan of it from a personal perspective

i can read them fine and even love an au when well done~<3! but if i'm writin' a humans au, you can bet your ass i'ma give them powers at some point (i probably won't do it for legit aliens like kal-el ever tho)<3<3<3

it's just too much to play with~! but also, no powers tends to bore me. i get that some love that kinda stuff but nah. there's just too much to explore *with* powers for me that i die without~!

like superman's super dick<3<3<3

lol sorry for the rambling~<3

How to "diversify" Scooby-Doo without sucking out its entire soul--and the audience's souls with it

So as the entire internet already knows, HBO's Velma was a major flop. The only views it's getting are hate views. Conservatives find it hilarious because leftists are trolling themselves by accusing the show creators of being secret right-wing trolls. Well, if they are, they're bloody brilliant.

The premise of the show was never, "What if Mystery Inc. were more diverse?" It was always, "What if Mystery Inc. were super woke? Also, what if we sexualized characters aged 15-17 and targeted exclusively audiences over 18?" So really, the show's creators shouldn't be so baffled as to why even their target audience hates their show. I guess this goes to show that when you buy the lie that reason is "too white" to be permissible, you predictably start to act like an idiot.

But what if I told you that there was already a canonically established means of "diversifying" the cast in a way that actually retains the spirit of the original show?

The series finale of Mystery Incorporated revealed that that show and every previous iteration of Scooby-Doo is canon to the others (yes, this does include the live action films, so take that as you will). It also implied that all future iterations of the franchise will be canon as well. This provides the single most perfect opportunity to explore what Mystery Inc. would be like if they were from other races, ethnic backgrounds, nations and even planets. It would present different reimaginings of the characters in a natural, creative way that the audience would just eat up. All you would have to do is create a series where Mystery Inc. explores the multiverse and meets a variety of alternate selves. Just think of it. You could have...

a Japanese or Korean Mystery Inc. that flanderizes the heck out of every anime trope (and they 100% have permission to turn the tables on us)

an African, Afro-Caribbean or African American Mystery Inc.

a South/Southeast Asian Mystery Inc. with a MUCH less sexualized and angry version of the above woke Velma

an alien version of Mystery Inc., with lots of opportunity for worldbuilding

a version of Mystery Inc. from a completely different time period, such as the Victorian era

a Rule 63 version of Mystery Inc.

a version of Scooby that corresponds to the largest dog breed in each of the above cultures/universes

There would be no need to make each iteration of the gang particularly diverse within the gang itself, unless they were temporarily mixing up members across the multiverse to accomplish a mission (e.g. the Japanese team swaps out their Daphne for the original, or the alien team borrows the original Shaggy and sends theirs with another team). No one cares if a particular AU team is comprised of only black members, and in fact it helps sell the idea that this is the same team from a completely different universe. To reiterate, the Scooby gang does not need tokens!

Of course, the real key to making a good Scooby-Doo show is simple:

Absolutely NO virtue signaling!

It won't kill you to simply tell good stories with good humor and beloved characters. In fact, you'll probably find people actually love your work. If you do it right, audiences might even start begging for a spin-off focusing on one of the guest teams.

crack Lu au idea (from a very tired rae)

a Tokyo mew mew au

So like, basic premise:

the chain (who are at least mostly unrelated to/don’t know each other) becomes a Magical Girl team to fight the aliens/the monsters attacking the city (castle town?)

each of them gets animal dna from a creature from their respective games

the cafe is run by the goddesses time is a baker/manager while the boys switch between kitchen and server jobs (eight servers for one small cafe is a bit much I think)

The bois themselves are mostly in high school, with wind in middle and time being a Married Adult and is still Dad Age compared to the rest

Most direct character role swaps off the top of my head: - wind takes Bu-ling/pudding’s place looking after gran and Aryll - warriors takes zakuro’s place -hyrule takes retasu’s place and I’m not sure who would take ichigo and minto’s places

Everything would need to be adjusted to better fit the chain and their personalities. I don’t picture any romance aspected being involved since it would be a focus on team-as-family, and I don’t know if there would be any one “main character” since they would all deserve to have some spotlight (but wind is my favorite so knowing me it’d probably end up wind-centric)

it’s probably be demise/ganon behind the attacks, with the shadow in place of quiche. But it could also be fun to swap in other villain characters like griahim or Vaati. Maybe get spicy and do a villain redemption for some of them

Marsha’s character would be swapped for a fairy companion like Navi, Proxi, or Ciela. Like either a rotation/team of the fairy companions or a fully new one.

I’m not sure if the chain would have gone on their respective adventures before any of this, but I think it would be cool. No idea how to blend them all together without them knowing each other though. Maybe instead of different eras it’s different neighboring kingdoms/countries? Idk.

now for the animals for the bois: - twilight has his wolf form or ordon goat - legend has his rabbit form, but it would be fun to explore other options for him - sky would totally get remlit. While loftwing could be really cool, I think sky fits remlit much better. (Plus the loftwings can still exist in this au. I like them too much to just remove them) - wind’s games don’t have that many animals that aren’t sentient races, so that leaves pigs and kargarok. Kargarok I think would be best. For the angst potential and air connection - four would get minish. I know they’re a race and not an animal, but a sorta minish form is too good of an opportunity to pass up. Could add multiple tails to represent the colors like my in progress minish form design - similarly hyrule could get fairy, but if the Masha equivalent is a fairy that wouldn’t make much sense. I don’t know much about his games so I’m not sure what other options there are. - warriors is a similar issue. I don’t know what animals are in his games, though something like a horse might be interesting? A lion or peacock could be fun, but I really want to stick with in-game animals. - wild has a lot of animals to pick from. Though I’m leaning towards bear or deer. a bug or lizard might be cool too if there are any that fit with Wild’s personality. (I’m not including totk here because I haven’t played it yet and want as little spoiled as possible before I do) - time is giving me some trouble too. I haven’t played any of his games. Maybe something based on his masks? Like a great fairy or deku scrub? (Again with the sentient species vs regular animal problem that hyrule and four have) definitely should be something forest-related to tie back to the kokiri/growing up in a magic forest thing.

all of their weapons with either be their respective swords, or a unique one from each of their games

and that’s about it for now

[macaroniandpheez]

[darkspace7]

Been frantically trying to shift around stuff because I wanted to play games on my phone but it unfortunately has the memory capacity of a potato so I've been looking through my notes app in search of things that could be deleted. Here's some ideas that have cursed my ever waking hours so now I foist the burden onto you!

A restaurant called "Subversion" that aims to do just that to your expectations. Food that looks all leafy and green so you'd expect a savory vegetable type deal? Nope you blue raspberry flavor. Or how about a large dessert covered in some sort of icing and now the waiter is bringing out a torch? So is it something like Baked Alaska mayhaps? No, the "icing" melts away to reveal it’s a steak. And the deal isn't limited to the food, oh no. You go in thinking it’s gotta be some fancy high end place but it looks like just a mom and pop cluttered shop. Then you get led through a door and suddenly faced with the most ostentatious place you’ve ever seen. Then the bartender gestures for you to follow them behind the counter and suddenly you're led through a trapdoor in floor. You now think you’re outside but suddenly a a door opens from behind a pile of trash bags against the back wall and then suddenly you’re in another version of the mom & pop store. The price is reasonable but you're the server now. This is your home now, you can never leave.

Bleach/Promare AU (Not gonna lie, I didn't know where I was going with this other than the potential for seeing Ichigo/Uryuu and the Zangetsu Duo in the colour pallet/artstyle. Also, shirtless fire fighters and weird fire aliens?

Candy Barrel Fairy Floss (Cotton Candy made from Various Candies? What types would work best? What would be the worst? Would they taste good???)

The Aizen from my one story idea (the one where he is genuinely the personality he presents himself as and maybe role-swaps Ichigo?) gets isekaied into an alternate past where Juhabach is his Dad. (Based on a dream I had, apperantly?)

• There's a group chat for the zanpakuto that Zangetsu was a part of before the timeline fuckery (reference to my one Ichigo/Uryuu story.) He gets pulled in again via Sode no Shirayuki and eventually gets Zanpakugo (Zanpakuto!Ichigo) in. Many cryptic memes x2 because they're both time traveling millennials. Of course they meme in various worrysome and increasingly unhinged ways. Yachiru also hops in sometimes much to many's confusion. (One of the others: "Yeah. You learn not to question it.") (This is obviously non-canon.)

•(In regards to Bleach) What happens if two people go inside a gigai at the same time???

•(Also in regards to Bleach?) What if Keigo is related to Reigen Arataka? (Reigen's his uncle)

•Pre!Canon Izuku gets isekaied into Fantasy AU decides to essentially say fuck it to his old world and stay with found friend family adventuring and doing hero shit in the new world.

•Crack Vestige AU where Izuku and then Bakugo get to haunt people with their found ghost family when Melissa finally gets passed the quirk due to shenanigans. Scenes & further shenanigans occur but not sad shit because fuck that noise.

•(In relation to last point) Fucming Vestige Bakugou & Izuku going whole ham on Shiggy, just decimating his shit. AFO steps in and then there's Yoichi coming in from behind with the steel chair-

•Also, En's coat is colour changing.

•"The Ruler" A non-binary royalty themed superhero who goes around carrying a wooden handheld rulestick. •Racecar Driver reverse isekai disaster lesbians? One day someone literally tries to invoke the whole 'bury your gays trope' on a recently disgraced Racer with their shitty lemon but apparently Truck-kun was having none of this bullshit and t-bones the fucker so instead of death we got this hot muscular dragon lady from the fantasy equivalent of the 1500's or whatever rolling out the back and proceeding to break a semi in half. Cut to her and the protag together as they proceed wreck the local illegal street racing circuit all the while trying to get back the protag's honour or something like that and maybe somehow catch up with the mysterious cryptid racer 'Truck-kun' so they get dragon lady home. There's mutual idiots in love, someone tries to murder protag by ramming them off road in every race, cars routinely defy the laws of physics in increasingly riduculou ways, dragon lady has an epic duel with a giant robot. It's an utter mess call it something equally stupid like "Speed Demon" or smth. •Jirou Kyoka x Daredevil (???)

•Doctor Stone Time Slip Theory AU but make it crack (or crack taken seriously) with mecha senku behind everything •Blackberry Syrup Orange Mango Mocktail with small crushed ice ("looks like a sunset." True but why?)

I need a Yoongi and Estelle alien au

“These guys.. there Uh.., a lot bigger than you,”

Estelle looked up at Namjoon, eyes wide. He was what humans called a half cast, born from a human parent and another species. His pointed ears stuck out from his silver hair, a pair of purple eyes conflicting his tan skin.

“How much bigger?” Estelle asked as they walked through the corridor, “Should I be worried?”

“No, no!” Namjoon shook his head, “Females typically get to be about seven foot, males can be as tall as nine foot,”

“Nine feet tall?!” Estelle swallowed thickly, “Oh..,”

Different species had different characteristics, Estelle knew this. She specialised in a autonomy based biology and culture studies, which is why she was a perfect for bridging with new species and planets.

“But they’ve never seen a human before,” Namjoon explained, “You’ll be a first,”

“To be fair, humans are a dying race,” Estelle frowned, “We seem to be intergrading with more species, only twenty percent of the human popular is fully human,”

“Can’t say it’s a bad thing, humans are idiots,” Namjoon shrugged, “You’ll be meeting with one of our other connectors, Kyra, she’ll hook you up with everything you need,”

Estelle nodded as she stepped into the inner doors. The equipment required for this mission included a breathing mask, the air in the planet wasn’t safe for full humans.

As she slipped it over her face, turning on the compressor and taking a few deep breaths, the outer doors opened.

Most of the planet was covered in forest, the species here connected with the world around them and respected the planet. Estelle could admire it, it was something humans never did.

Kyra was a bit taller than her, bright red hair and large green eyes for seeing in the dark. Her planet had eighteen months of darkness and two months of light, which made up what was their year.

She was bioluminescent, her hair and spots coming to life in the dark.

“Wow, you humans really are plain!” Kyra laughed.

Estelle smiled, “Yeah, it’s nice to meet you,”

Kyra had a wicked smile on her lips, “I’m guessing Joonie gave you the run down?”

“Something like that..,” Estelle mumbled as she watched the way the flowers swayed in the wind.

“Yeah well, just remember that if that little mask of yours comes off, you got two minutes before your dead,” Kyra explained, “Ready to meet them?”

She nodded, following the girl down to the village. It seemed cozy enough, the houses were massive compared to the smallness Estelle was used to on Earth.

Everything was hand made by the people, a tiny smile on her face as she watched as people shared and swapped their belongings and needs.

“Way of life is a give and take experience,” Kyra explained, “Just be careful though, these guys get real defensive over their mates,”

“Oh right, I forget they have a mating connection,” Estelle murmured, “But it seems nice over all-“

“Human!”

Estelle was surprised to be hoisted up in the air, held up as a tall male held her. He had dark hair and yellow eyes, canines coming from his mouth.

“I’ve seen your kind in books! You guys really are tiny! But why are you so pale? And why is your hair yellow?”

“Hoseok, put her down!” Kyra lectured the male, “She’s fragile too!”

“What’s fragile?” Hoseok asked curious.

“You’ll crush her before she can even conceive what’s happening,”

The male that had spoke had a gruff voice, an annoyed look on his face as he stood behind Hoseok. He had the same black hair and yellow eyes, long pointed ears and a scar over his left eye.

He was a little bit shorter than Hoseok but still massive compared to both herself and Kyra. Estelle gulped as she was placed down, the male looking down at her.

Something about him was both comforting and intimidating.

“Hello,” She spoke softly, “I’m Estelle,”

All she got was a slight glare before he turned and walked towards one of the buildings, a long tail swishing behind him as he went.

“That’s Yoongi,” Kyra explained, “He and Hoseok are the clan leaders here, sworn in like their fathers before them and their fathers before that-“

“He likes you,” Hoseok’s voice laughed.

“Pardon?” Estelle looked at the tall male.

“Normally he hisses, screeches and runs off when he meets new people,” Hoseok grinned, “Believe me, he likes you,”

I actually only originally planned for the first one last night, but as I got ready for bed, my mind said “Hey, what if Keith and Pidge were Galra and Thace and Ulaz were humans?” Yeah... so... I have both versions. I swear I cook with lots of wine, not drink it. My mind is just... always strange. There can be mix and match, too, with all as humans or as Galra, or whatever, but I’m not going through and editing everything. So! Enjoy these two. 

I had often thought about how pale Ulaz looks compared to other Galra we see and I had seen somewhere about someone speculating him being like an albino. So! I took to making him an albino for this. I like albino-human!Ulaz. And his marks on his scalp being tattoos look cool!

Good gods... now my mind is running in circles and thinking of other AUs. Where is the off button to my brain? Or are you guys looking for the overdrive button? Do you guys even enjoy the varying AU ideas?

AU WHERE CLARK IS A GRUMP!!! JUST A RAINY CLOUD OF A MAN!!! I want older, exhausted, i- may- feed -on- sun- but- I -ain't- no sunshine- Clark Kent.

I think being constantly alienated and casted out and honestly, despised for being an alien yet saving the human race every Wendsay is bound to make the best of us a little hostile, -

do NOT get me wrong Clark loves his Ma and Pa, but he's mostly here because Diana keeps bullying him into it, and bc his parents happen to be apart of said species that thins his patience everyday.

LIKE-

This man is giving " Absolutely would yell at Parry White for trapping him in interviews with Lex Luthor even if he KNOWS Clark hates his guts" vibes. Living for it.

" TELL THAT FUCKING MORON THAT UNLESS HE PLANS TO SAVE 300 POLAR BEARS FROM MASS HOMELESSNESS, HE CAN SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE!"

Bruce, literally shaking in his chair at the Daily Planet after Alfred grounded him with social interaction for patrolling late: hn

Clark is staring. Bruce can SWEAR there's a spot of red glowing in those ocean eyes before this titan of a man directs his attention to a tight-grinning Lois Lane, " What the fuck is HE doing here?"

" You were supposed to interview him today, remember?"

" It's honestly fine I can leave if he's busy"

" I'm not busy, Morticia Addams, I just don't wanna be around ANOTHER rich prick for hours- fuck it. Come on. I NEED to know how you knew Lex was swapping spit with those crooks from that laboratory. "

'' well some of us don't need to yell to get our point across"

" What?"

" Nothing"

Bruce of course follows Clark close and despite Clark expressing crystal clear " eat the rich and shit them out" energy, they still have a " excuse me, he asked for EXTRA blueberry" moment

ALSO GRUMPY TEAM DAD!! " Alright, which one of you failed condoms arranged this press conference? Was it you, Hal? I WILL make you hold that lantern while I fix the coffee maker again."

Arguing with Batman would be so much funnier. " You're a superpowered alien with unmatchable strength and anger management issues, of COURSE I have the right to worry!"

" Oh you fucking say that as if humanity hasn't been its own monster since, oh I don't know, - FOREVER? Maybe check your facts before you come at me, Bruce."

And Bruce is of course SHOCKED. " How-"

" I used my X-ray vision."

" You betrayed my trust!"

" Of course I did, we're not FOUR."
