#jk i’m in the TRENCHES

[damianwaynerocks]

thinking about dick grayson and tim drake. dick was SO good to tim when he was robin. and i think there might’ve been a reason for that.

he wasn’t great to jason. he wasn’t terrible, of course. but he didn’t make near as much of an effort. and then jason died.

we know it wasnt intentional, dick not putting in effort. we know he cared about jason, but he was hurt and he was an adult and adults get so lost in their own lives that they can forget to make an effort. we know he did nothing wrong, but dick probably didn’t know that. dick grayson, the man who shoulders so much responsibility that his hands are always shaking, probably was thinking if i was there, if i would’ve done more.

the guilt probably ate him up, and then when bruce got tim, dick didn’t want to make the same mistake. so he went out of his way to be there for tim, to be the best big brother he possibly could. because he had to atone. because of guilt.

because at his core, dick grayson is nothing if not wracked with guilt to his very soul.

There’s no bigger stina fan in the werld than me btw 🫶🫶🫶

Screw “gay sacramental marriage” or whatever. True equality will only be achieved when your typical st. Benedict feast day looks like this

It’s not enough to me for queer people to be inside the Vatican teaching the pope gay slang. I need us to become the majority inside the cults of traditionally ‘conservative’ saints. Keep them on their toes

[stormblessed95]

Okay, I know this is inflammatory and if Stormblessed chooses to publish this ask I want all the weirdos out there to know this opinion stands only for me, but if there are parts of the show that lean more towards being “fanservice” (oh, how I loathe that word), it’s not the parts you think.

HYBE has no interest (and no reason to have an interest) in promoting specific ships. If you think that is what’s happening you are wrong, plain and simple. Just… what on earth could they stand to gain from that? BTS are seven or they are solo artists. Corporations care about money and there’s no money to make from highlighting one duo over another, and their content is, to a very great extent, done for the preexisting fans that already fill their coffers.

Are they making money from Jimin and Jungkook doing a travel show? Yes, probably. Would they have made the same money from any other ship doing a travel show? Yes, probably, especially if it involved at least one member from the maknaeline. (They’re simply more popular, I don’t make the rules.)

So IF there’s fanservice in AYS (aside from the members doing and filming things they may or may not have done if they were on their own and I’m not talking about their personal interactions I’m talking about playing with water guns and making up elaborate games, going climbing and riding go karts etc., they might have done those things if there were no cameras but they might also have spent the entire vacation sleeping) it’s reinforcing the OT7 brand. It’s calling Yoongi and Tae, it’s talking about missing the members, its Tae joining the show, it’s calling RM, or remarking that specific members would love this or that.

It’s easy to forget in between yapping solos and shippers fighting over crumbs in the trenches on Twitter that the single most important thing about BTS is that they are seven and that their genuine connection is their lifeblood, AND, it’s important to note, the members also know this. So I’m not saying it’s not genuine when they talk about missing members (after ten years attached at the hip I’m sure they’ve had a weird old time in the solo era) but leaving those clips in the show, highlighting them and using them for voiceovers is a conscious choice, one that flows like a thread through everything they’ve done as solo artists. There’s always a mention or a cameo, a little titbit that connects 1 to the other 6, because BTS are 7.

It's not just you. I'm cosigning this opinion. I'm also adding the fanservice was all the titties given to us 😂 y'all remember when ARMY would lose it over bare foreheads and were seeing JKs tattoos through a shitty microwave reflection 😂

Now, both anon and I are not saying the OT7 bond is fanservice, but it's highlighted within the show for a reason. I'm the reason. Most ARMY are the reason. We all fucking lose it over how much the members love each other. It's not "fanservice" but it's what pulls people in. Check how many "OT7 ARMY" accounts finally started posted about AYS when they would call a member or when Tae joined as proof. Their bond isn't fanservice. Hybe absolutely profits off it though. Let's not get all twisty and offended over y'all reading in between non existent lines here, okay?

Gift from Work

{Kwon Eunbi / M!Reader}

Summary: Eunbi comes home after a photoshoot and is in a mood to bring a gift home.

Listen to this fic!

A/N: This was a digital-only straightforward top-to-bottom writing-in-the-dark, first draft churned out in three days (~16h, plus ~7h of editing), without any notes at all, after we challenged each other to a BFH.

Direct your complaints at the regional kpop branch office. Send likes to CK. First attempt at BFH. My conclusion is, I’m incapable of a ‘haze-fueled’ thing. No, really, I don’t write when horny. I hope it’s still a delightful read.

Disclaimers: Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. I wish it were real, though (/jk my stories are not my fantasies).

You were about to beeline straight to bed, past the living room and across the hallway, when the miniscule sound of the front door unlocking stopped you in your tracks.

In walked your girlfriend, Kwon Eunbi, her features hidden by a wide hat and sunglasses as idols commonly did when incognito. Loose jeans and ankle-high boots concealed her lower body; while the upper half was covered by a waist-long trench coat—even though it was high summer, where the temperatures stayed hot into the evenings.

You turned and pointed at the kitchen, greeting her as she sorted her boonie hat. “There’s food in the microwave, should I—”

“—Ah, I brought you something from work.”

“Huh, weren’t you at a photoshoot?” You scratched your head, watching her put the hand bag away; nothing worthwhile appeared to be inside, so this time perhaps it wouldn’t be branded pencils from the agency. But what would it be, then?

“Oh, don’t worry, you’ll like it.”

With her beautiful face uncovered, her blush rosé lip gloss parted and darted forward, the wooden heels jabbed the parquet and reverberated in the narrow convexity. You were given a very short countdown and no chance to evade. Eunbi slung her arms around your neck and her lips latched onto yours. Your breath had already escaped ahead of the impact.

After stressful schedules, usually you two made it to the couch first before dropping, maybe at least the arch of the living room when she had given some steamy performances (*cough* she was still wet after coming home *cough*). But today, Eunbi seemed extra avid, already completely unhinged at the doorway.

While staggering backwards, driven by her body pressing into yours, her breasts squishing into you, your back pushed open the door already set ajar. With wobbling steps you aimed for the couch. Well, actually you were wandering around blind. Her tongue attempted to give guidance, pushing yours around adverse to wherever you steered—but your clouded brain did not pick up any patterns from her moist stirrings.

Your leg got caught on the table; although low, that would prove to be even more fatal, sending you both in a tumble. Holding onto the tightness of her embrace, you two crashed short of the couch and the fall scattered the orderly arrangement laid on top. The mess was a hindrance to easy access for what you needed next.

Eunbi pulled off. “I think we lost the lube,” she laughed. Her wide smile wanted more. She climbed onto the couch. Her voluptuous body blocked out even the sun. Her curves in the shades turned your head with her movement. She turned and sat down with your head lodged between her thighs. Your face reflected her radiant gleam, so bright not just from the exuded warmth from her jeans.

“Do we need it?”

“Fuck you…,” she said nonchalantly, raising a corner of her mouth. You were not to question her, and you’d realize soon enough. Her hands reached for her coat.

“This is the gift, by the way,” she added. Her fingers untwirled the loops with elegant and smooth motions to open the curtains with the flaps flying.

Her jeans were unbuttoned, giving a peek at the infamous lettering stitched on brown cotton. Your eyes followed her waistline upwards across her soft stomach, until your gaze hit her mounds from below. Needless to say, you did not make it as far as her face, and she knew better than to not condone you for it.

Fit, toned, shaped, voluptuous. There were many words to describe Eunbi’s body, but the one thing she deserved the most: worship and appreciation.

Every day you had her felt like Christmas. You gulped hard. “Yes, fuck me….”

With haste, you quarried for the bottle, knocked over from earlier. Her thigh blocked your view and did not let you go. Under her watchful smirk your hand fumbled for the familiar shape, going through device remotes short and long, snack cans narrow and girthy, a bottle very viscous and a few ounces—yes, that’s the one.

You had a guess what she wanted the lube for, but you’d have to start at the bottom first.

Straightening your back and shifting your legs a tad away, you pulled your head down and unlaced her boots, gently sliding them off. Black was on the menu today. She changed her nail polish as often as her schedules, but black was a regular. It may even be your favorite (though the vibrant ones weren’t far behind) due to the stark contrast with her surrounding pale skin, so strong that the eye catching dark void was glossy even in this dim light.

Your hands rubbed her soles as your tongue circled around each toe before engulfing them in your mouth, where you could suck on them in reclusion and drown them in your admiration. Giving her your undivided attention, anywhere, unabashed, provided not just you with a sense of gratification and satisfaction, it also spurred the swelling excitement within you both. Finally, having paid her toes the tithe they were due, you pulled back again, this time to tug at her jeans.

In a wave she lowered the hem, and you picked up the torch to reveal her magnificent gems that were her sizable gams. While Eunbi was one of the shorter among her (very much) taller peers, none could match her in the shape of her legs. And you made sure to show how much you wanted to appreciate them by snailing a moist trail upwards—literally legs for days. Your dedication was answered with a satisfied smile. Your hands did not stay idle in treasuring her thighs, getting a good feel along the way.

Eunbi took loving care of her body, keeping it in a fit shape (the kind that fit her, that she’d be proud of) so well to the point where she often became horny when looking at herself. It was a natural consequence that she wanted to indulge in her body together with you.

Across the valley that was her toned stomach (especially when she lifted her arms, like right now), beyond the speed bump that was the elastic band with green lettering, you hit upon a steep incline.

The highly coveted crown jewels of idol royalty.

Your teeth grazed her mounds lightly a few times, giving her muted tingles, before kneading her breasts with your lips. The pressure on her flesh was not punctured, but firm enough to evoke a nasal sign of approval. The sheen of saliva you left on her, both the trail and from tasting her breasts, evaporated in just a few moments to an airy chill, so you kept adding more, going low and up again to freshen them up. Light bites once in a while stung her, brought her out of her trance of relishing the admiration she received.

“May I?” you asked, pulling away and shook the bottle, warmed to the touch.

Eunbi nodded and shifted around to kneel on the couch, as you lost your pants and worked the lube onto your penis. Another squirt on her breasts (“Fuck, this shit’s still cold!”) and you were ready to unite your scepter with her double orbs.

The bra parted exactly right, the triangular cut was wide open (while still looking decent), allowing you to align your cock between her breasts. She filled out the cloth even more now with you lodged in-between and her hand squeezing them together. Eunbi truly deserved her nickname, she was eunbig enough to wrap around and smother your shaft in a soft embrace.

This act was not an excuse for you to watch her knead her own breasts, though you could not help delighting yourself in such a gorgeous display, with her face looking up at you, searching for a reaction, and her voluptuous flesh being squeezed and shifting around like dough in a mixer. You aided her in the strenuous work by thrusting your hips when she was moving down, which was easier in intention than done, given that you couldn’t go far when standing.

“The CK is not exactly a… sexy cut…. But goddamn it, we can keep this pair, right?”

“Lube’s gonna leave a stain,” she said, ogling the dark blots below as they grew from the seams. The fringes were already drying up.

“I… hope that won’t be a problem?”

“Ha, yeah, well, no one knows I took them home. Yet.”

Eunbi flashed you a grin, cheeks raising into prominence before diving. Her tongue circled around your tip, choking you out of a reply.

You couldn’t be sorry for ruining the cloth now, not before you took the chance to cream the queen and added a few more spots yourself. Only then would you worry about getting rid of the blemishes. Maybe try the washing machine first, give it a spin. Oh yes, your head was in a twirl, thinking about the water sloshing around into a vortex, mind floating along with the flow. She increased the pace. The feathery tingles buckled your hips from the shudders induced by her slick actions on your shaft. Gosh, the shapes she drew with her wet organs. The cresting wave was about to hit the open door, threatening to spill out, and all the things you wanted to drench—

“—ffu—whack—”

—someone suddenly stopped the drum. The colossal whirling forces of nature, with the rug pulled away, first crumbled, then collapsed into itself. The massive downward tides clashed, and from the bottom a rogue wave shot upwards—a single spurt managed to leave your cock to hit square on her chin before her fingers tightened into a ring at the base. Empty and confused quivers followed, ears rumbling from the hollow pressure, hips spasming from wanting to give, to provide, but nothing more came through.

You found a shoulder to steady yourself with jelly legs trembling. A strained throat struggled to curse whatever befell you. Her hand braced your waist, and she sure could feel the turmoil that your muscles had gone through just now.

Eunbi’s arched brow told you everything: nothing shall spill unless her will. “Don’t thank me yet ’til you get to come inside,” she chuckled.

She gave your groin a push for your weak legs to flop onto the couch. A fresh sheen of sweat darkened the surface. Eunbi followed you right after with a mellow giggle. Pulling the panties aside and swiftly ensuring alignment, Eunbi mounted herself on you. Your breath sank as she lowered herself. Only for the first descent would she go slow, then she picked up velocity.

You may not have come yet, but you felt just as sensitive. Eunbi knew that. Your groaning and hoarse muffles confirmed it.

With her body pressing you into the cushions, you gave in to the fact that you could not dictate the speed at which she took you. Her contour blocked out most of the hallway glow, visible faint around the corner. Some last scraps glimmering through her black hair. Her head lowered until the side of her face was underlined by scattered rays, bringing her ethereal beauty to light. She bent forward for her bosoms to fill whatever remained in your view; all residual thoughts of your day were squashed by her humongous tits.

Surrounded, smothered, with nowhere to go, you were in the happy position to charge in all directions. Anywhere your tongue lunged out, wherever your chin winded up for your mouth to snap at, you managed to grasp her skin and flesh. By roaming your hands and arms across her back you pressed on the attack with ferocity. But despite all your best efforts, Eunbi was relentlessly gyrating her hips on your cock, her tight muscles—concealed within the opulent body—clenched around your shaft and rubbed it up and down as her taut stomach glided on yours over the layer of combined perspiration. Any shiver caused by your numerous offensives rippled through her as a flinch, a shudder in her folds. It was not long until Eunbi matched her moans to yours in volume.

Each quiver of her core sent an electrifying tingle through your penis and your hips started twitching. Wide movements smeared your sweat all over the couch, with enough momentum to outright stamp the marks deep into the material. Dry slick soon turned sticky, but each of you powered through, the humping never let up the bouncing. Still muffled, you could not tell whose breath was hitching more.

Everything melded further together the more you focused on not yielding to whatever your shaking hips wanted to do. Was everything you tasted now actually her transpiration; maybe your own; the natural flavor of her skin; or even the glistening gold from the sovereign’s orbs? Whatever stray and irrelevant stirabouts of which tastes the liquid were carrying that your brain had concocted up would be dropped right now.

Eunbi lowered her voice slowly to your ear, luscious lips scraping across your cheeks. You already knew what she wanted, you were more than ready, and just the brush of her whisper had sufficed to let you loose.

The air carried the demand of milk for the queen’s tea. Without doubt, what better way to serve it than by her favorite regalia!

At her behest, your body was finally granted the permission to unbuckle any and all holds, to unleash the boy juices from their restraints. The rumbling of your hips churned even more ferocious waves into the already violent sea, shaking the ship that was your lap, and on this unsteady deck milk was attempted to be poured, actually more like spilled, straight into the tea pot, filling it to the brim and beyond. Mutual groans, as if thrilled following along the action, accompanied each time your penis pulsed and shot out more spurts. Copious amounts of the white liquid spilled out. What couldn’t be accommodated in time ran along your most intimate connection to blend with the abundant fluids and drip out as the purest testimony of your dedication.

Tea was ready to be presented. The frothiness of chai latte was one of her secret pleasures. Obviously, she had never divulged this favorite of hers to anyone before.

Eunbi drew her tongue across her lips. But when she took hold of the kettle, shifting higher to pour herself an aromatic cup of blissful sweetness, eyes already closed, she slipped on all the sweat that covered you both. Eunbi fell down your cock again, letting out a deep groan, and from the sudden impact the kettle was dropped. The capsizing turn of events spilled out all of her love liquids. A tide sprayed from your connection that infused with what was in the puddle.

Panting, taking long breaths, you finally had the opportunity to behold the mess made on the couch and around. The sprawled clothes barely did a thing to cover the objects thrown off the table. The intensity of your combined exertion was evident in how much the set of remaining clothes on her was soaked. A literal lake had formed beneath you, its reaches pooling in any crevice and the valley where you sank in.

All those waves and splashes were not just some lecherous metaphors your mind had come up with. “Fuck, we should have put a towel down,” you gasped.

Eunbi scooped up some with her hand formed into a cup and brought it to her mouth.

The queen was not quite amused from the spillage, yet more than content and satisfied with what she could savor.

Perhaps next time Eunbi should do a home & bath CF, then. You’d love to watch her come home in a bathrobe, still glistening wet (or provide a bucket load yourself, do we pick white or clear?).

“I don’t think one will be enough,” she said before seizing your lips once more.

[euclydtwins]

Some like…. Story stuff? There’s 2 fords in this au, the main one is the guy with the scarf and goggles, and the other has a weird haircut and a trench coat and is significantly more angry, he’s definitely not important or anything.

This is how Bill had kids in this au /j

And these two, sleeping like the ferals they are, not even a blanket smh

And while i’m here how about some content for the lost twins? Yes there are more uhh spoilers? If you read the fic and the short story by @/beetrootbuggystuff you would probably know that 🤨 (/jk)

[solarwynd]

“armys act like tae’s entire solo career never happened in the restricted playing field it did (it only exists when another member takes his records with quadruple the tools/support) and they throw a tantrum whenever jk’s solo career is acknowledged as successful and outside of group achievements. but at a certain point last year “he ended bts 😍” was happily being trended for….🤐”

This is from a Tae biased taekook account jkftkth. Jimin crashing the taekook “success” party really got them seething 🤣.

Saw the now (deleted) post somebody made that this is probably a response to lol.

But the question again is, who restricted that man?

What records did Taehyung have outside of Layover hitting 1B faster than FACE and its songs all hitting 100M first on a technicality?

Like I’m not understanding. Taehyung biased taekookers are always gonna be in the trenches cause they’ll shield JK and accept his numbers but shun Jimin’s out of hatred of him. They both had tools. Yet how is one organic with the reasoning of “well he’s popular” but Jimin who is also popular always seems to get questioned? They’ll allow Taehyung to play second fiddle to JK, but Jimin being ahead of Taehyung is what triggers the psychotic break.And all armys were doing is making tweets about how JK ended his own group last year. Hyping up articles about him being the sole breakout member and him being destined to be a star. What need is there to lie?

It’s pure entitlement as to why Taehyung stans have created a world inside their head that Jimin is the privileged and favored one when it’s simply the fact that Jimin performed better success wise. Taehyung got tools. Remixes and playlisting. Both first day for Friends. It’s not Jimin’s fault that he doesn’t have the pull nor fan interest to use them to their fullest extent. Yes Jimin got tools this time around, but LC had absolutely nothing and still outdid all the songs Taehyung has ever dropped so there’s really no victimization story they can give to make him seem like he’s being intentionally neglected label wise.

AJ’s Analysis- Week One Preview⚡️:

Raiders at Chargers

Disclaimer: I am a Chargers fan so this will obviously be biased BUT I have been a football fan for the last 12 years and absolutely love dissecting the game and making comments so I figured I would give this a try! Please feel free to make comments and let me know your thoughts in my inbox!

Players to watch:

Los Angeles

Justin Herbert QB- Oregon- Year 5🩵

Pookie. Angel. Perfect prince. Idk. He’s just my favorite player in the NFL to watch. The arm talent, the decision making, the…everything. Ok so, this is honestly his coming out year. He’s finally got a coaching staff that is competent and hopefully working in an offense that doesn’t put the weight of the world on his shoulders. He’s also coming off of finger surgery and a minor foot injury so he should be healthy and ready to take over the league. Simple. I can’t wait to watch.

Stats: carried the team on his back pretty much all of last season, lost a finger nail, lost most of his sanity and then lost his season to a broken right index finger. Best game last year by far was the week 10 loss against the Lions where he threw for 323 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Cameron Dicker Kicker- Texas- Year 3

Little angel bean. Best kicker in the league. No further comments.

JK Dobbins RB- Ohio State- Year 5

Coming off of an Achilles injury and trying to shed the “injury prone” rumors, Dobbins is set to make his Chargers debut. One important thing to note, he’s only fumbled twice in his career…iykyk

Joe Alt RT- Notre Dame- Year 1

Here we go people! Fifth overall pick, mixed reviews from the audience. I’m rooting for him and the entire o-line to be much improved so I hope this first test shows that this investment in the “trenches” was worth it.

Khalil Mack EDGE/LB- Buffalo- Year 11

Recorded six sacks the first time these teams met last year. Was drafted by the Raiders in 2014 and has 100 career sacks, last season being one of his best in the last five years with 45 solo tackles and 17 sacks.

Joey Bosa DE/EDGE - Ohio State- Year 9

Also trying to shake injury prone rumors but seems to have taken on a new outlook and a new sense of excitement and motivation due to this new regime. Played in 9 games last season, starting 5 and still finished with 6.5 sacks. Honestly, looking forward to Joey making a big impact this season.

WR Room

I’ll preface this by saying I still miss Keenan Allen BUT ready to move forward. Very excited for Josh Palmer to get his time to shine hope he can stay healthy. DJ Chark excites me I’m gonna need to see some big plays from him. Quentin Johnston needs to have a breakout season. Ladd and Brenden are rookies but I need some huge contributions from them. Simi I know will show out when his number is called and if Derius the punt return king gets some targets I know he’s gonna put on a show. Nervous but excited to see how this goes!

Las Vegas

Gardner Minshew QB- Washington State- Year 6

Played in all 17 games for the Indianapolis Colts last year, made 13 starts and somehow always seems to know exactly what a team needs to get a win when his number is called. On his third team in his NFL career, looking to prove himself so he should come out looking to make a statement to keep his starting spot over AOC. Made the Pro Bowl last year with 305 completions and 3,305 passing yards, both career highs.

Davante Adams WR- Fresno State- Year 11

Your favorite wide receiver studies his film. Six Pro Bowls, three-time First team all pro, 39 games with 100+ receiving yards and has 9,637 receiving yards over the span of his career. Will get targets, will catch the ball and will probably score a touchdown (hopefully not two but who knows) this weekend.

Brock Bowers TE- Georgia- Year 1

Rookie Tight End making his NFL debut. Voted First Team All American by just about every single sports outlet in the country last season. Had 56 catches for 714 yards and six touchdowns for the Bulldogs in a 13-1 season falling short of a 3-peat not making the college football playoff but defeated Florida State 63-3 in the 2023 Capital One Orange Bowl.

Maxx Crosby DE- Eastern Michigan- Year 6

AKA Mad Maxx, neck tats can play football. Played in all 17 games last year and started. Heart and soul of the Raiders defense with 48 solo tackles and 14.5 sacks. Did get shaken out of his shoes by Justin last time and I’m sure he didn’t forget so he’ll be coming for vengeance.

Christian Wilkins DT- Clemson- Year 6

Entering his first season with the Raiders after a very successful five years in Miami. Recorded an NFL high 9 sacks for defensive tackles last season, started all 17 games and recovered two fumbles. Wilkins makes this Raiders defense a lot scarier and this will be a great first test for the often shaky Chargers o-line.

⏳FLASHBACK⌛️

Last time these two teams met, we all remember where we were…

1. Justin was injured, fresh off of surgery and Easton’s presence in the pocket is like a kid running late for curfew, very rushed and deer in the headlights

2. Defense quit and was ready to start fresh having lost faith in the entire coaching staff

3. We were all praying on the Charger downfall on this day and got what we wanted so sorry Coach Staley but…not sorry

Had to include this because baldy is gone and I couldn’t stand him. This was very embarrassing.

That’s it for week one!!!

Bolt the absolute fuck up

[quindread]

Constanstine starts acting sober on important missions/meetings for the JLD; he has a sanity-potion dealer

Zatanna reports this odd behavior to Batman, they interrogate him when his veins are swamped with alcohol.

C: … I-I know what yer doin’ [hiccups]

Z: We care for your well-being. You have bouts of sobriety that you seem to have control over.

B: Are you on something new?

C: M’yeah… is called a pwoz—piss—poise! Poise potion, yeah das it!

B: And who makes this “Poise” potion?

C: My dealah, my busniz. G’way! [stumbles out the door]

Z: … That went as well as expected.

Sober Constantine is actually more reasonable. Batman catches him after a meeting.

B: [observes his brushed hair and very high-quality, new trench coat] You’re sober… Congratulations?

C: Uhuh. Did you need something? I have some business elsewhere.

B: With your dealer?

C: [affronted] Wha—Who in their right bloody mind would dare call Celest that?

B: You did.

C: ….

B: Who’s Celest?

C: Oh, fuck me!

Constantine gives him an address - it’s in Milan, Lombardy (Region of Italy). He specifically instructs him to come as a civ along with Red Hood and Robin with the threat that he will erase their memories if they so much as go into detective mode.

Bruce Wayne and his two wayward children enters the teahouse and is led by the hostess to a private room. They are served with tea and light snacks that they know even Alfred would more than approve of.

A door opens - they didn’t even know it was one with the way the molding blends into each other seamlessly. And out came one of the most enchanting woman Bruce has ever seen. He’s seen his fair share of attractive females but he has never been star-struck like he should be - as if he were back to his pre-pubescent days.

M: Constantine said you’d be here.

B: [realizes that this person was Constantine’s dealer and was 100% magic] You’re his dealer?

*Jason and Damian who saw the look on their dad’s face snicker at his opening line*

M: [raises and elegant eyebrow at Bruce] And you must be his work associates?

J: Something like that, lady. I’m Jason, kid’s Damian, and the one who can’t stop staring at you is our Dad, Bruce.

*Bruce grumbles and Marinette smirks*

M: I’m Marinette. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

D: [gestures at Bruce] Pleasure is all his, Marinette.

B: [red at the ears] Their Grandfather thought them better, I swear.

M: Mhmm. I guess he didn’t teach them how to not die then?

The guys: ….

Jason gets a more potent version of the potion Constantine consumes - it’s a prescription that he has to come for every month. Damian gets a charm; ear cuffs because he does whatever her wants, a spontaneous orbital piercing is nothing. And Bruce gets Mari’s number.

(Tim also gets forwarded in his fave fashion label’s waitlist from the near thousands to the fourteenth - his first consultation coincides with Jason’s next appointment.)

AN: Some posts/fics call Mari Celestial Guardian. Idk where and when that happened - I have abandoned canon a long time ago. These are all pulled from my days in the maribat blackhole (still kinda stuck there). I basically pulled this out of my archives so they at least get the chance to see the daylight.

Addressing Brucinette: I have a whole re-written MLB plot in my archives where everything is more brutal and the miraculous aren’t actual pieces of accessories. Like there’s an initiation to the order and stuff like that. I normally don’t enjoy aging up characters in crossovers but Brucinette just works. I have a secretary AU somewhere (it’s tragic and I’m considering scrapping it if I find it). And I also have deep-rooted issues that wants me to write Good!Dad Bruce who has Mari breathing down his neck when he so much as raises his voice at his children (Muminette/Mominette is another breed scary). And those tropes where Mari sees right through Brucie? Has a second sense for the when the batkids are in/causes trouble? Love those. I WILL FIGHT FOR THIS SHIP. (Jk people are free to dislike this. I get it.)

[chevelleneech]

"Because from the outside it seems like such a serious commitment when you think about how serious the military is."

Apart from jkkrs this is thef first time I'm seeing someone actually acknowledge the importance of the companion system and jm and jk using that for their military service. you might be jkk biased idk anything about you so...at the end it might be coming from a jkk bias at the end but i love that.

Don't get me wrong but when jkk's enlistmemt news hit the tl i saw only the same 3 big army accts talk about how big that is all others were busy making their typical tweets plus "how dare you separate vmin", "how dare you separate taekook", "return hobi his jm back" like okay i get the sentiment but where is anyone acknowledging the fact that jkk will be together? nowhere. saw few About jikook having jin to guide them but there was nothing specific for jkk ever acknowledged. but given the fandom's record it's nothing surprising how they hardly would acknowledge jikook's moments like that.

Idk how it looks from outside cause I'm quite a jkkr (not the one who belives they're dating cause i personally don't think so but yeah they're my bias) so for me it indeed seems important for them. if we look at all these yrs of jm providing comfort to jungkook, how jungkook would chose jm as the hyung that gives him comfort the most, and how jm would always say that he feels protected and comfortable around jungkook their decision makes sense. tbh the news was a shock to me cause i like other jkkrs always thought jm would enlist months before jk's MS so it was shocking. But if you know the history then it shouldn't surprise you.

Jkkrs say not even military can keep them apart and if you think then they haven't been apart from eachother for longer since the time the first met. not saying haven't been apart enjoying their time with other ppl cause they did but they somehow always want to be present in eachother's business lol. Even when they left the dorm jkk were one the members who left it last when some members left it early. This was the time where they definitely could have taken break from being around same ppl all the time yet they said nope.

They're also the only idols that come up when you search for "idols that have used Buddy program" so it is interesting. Other members do casually shows up here n there post things yet we Hardly hear from them both. willingly choosing to go to frontline because you're using buddy prgrm is also something. I'd rather let my fate decide where i land my training in sk than willingly go to the dangerous part of borders. but if i had the chance to do my MS with the person who is my emotional support and is my comfort I'll take it in a sec.

I don't think we'll ever get the proper in depth answer to the question, maybe they'll say that since they're the ones with tattoes they decided to go together. i mean even if tattoed there's many options open for them, far well than the frontline and as you said saying (them telling us) they needed most emotional support wont look good on them so i know they won't be too deep with their answer. They're too private like that.

Thanks for your beautiful posts.

Hello!

Just to put it out there, I am army, so I’m pretty deep in the trenches of Jikook. I don’t know if I think they’re dating with 100% certainty, but I am someone who doesn’t understand why people think it’s impossible. They grew up together, work together, and clearly really enjoy each other's company seemingly more than they do their other members. That obviously doesn’t equal romance, but acting like assuming they’re together is gross or ridiculous, it’s stupid. People date their friends and coworkers every single day. Celebrities more than anyone else, so why would presumed queer people be any different?

As for the rest, I’m glad you liked what I said! You also seem to be the only person who really got what I was trying to say. It’s clear JM and JK care deeply for each other and find comfort in one another, so them choosing the buddy system makes sense on the surface, but it doesn’t really explain anything. Which they aren’t obligated to do, but them making such a choice is a big deal when they had other options. So why make such a serious choice? What was the catalyst, when their friendships with other members are equally as important to them? What was it about their bond that caused them to decide, “We can’t do this alone like the rest of them. We have to do this together.”

Was it just them being close friends? Was it mental health related? Was it romance related? Was it work related? We’ll never know. We just know they’ve always been there for each other, and enlistment didn’t change that, no matter the missing (for us) context.

may i ask what your age is around and if you happen to be american? out of pure curiosity. bc i’m wondering what your point is going to be after making those assumptions/questions about marauders and sp. bc reading through them, some of them were vaguely interesting points but most of them gave me the impression (correct me if i’m wrong) that you condemn interaction with ‘problematic’ material like marauders/sp even if NOT financially supporting them. which… just reeks of moral purism and being out of touch with people who are not in trenched in fandom (which is of course the vast majority of people). the idea that if you like something with problematic aspects you are yourself therefore problematic- despite you yourself admitting you like sp you then still self admittedly seem to try to cast that light on marauders fans. neither of these source materials are deeply ‘problematic’. sp has had many moments of it, some of them addressed and some not, and has ‘bad’/dark humour. marauders is connected to JK and her world, so i suppose it doesn’t matter how transformative the work is it remains ‘tainted’ by her and the worldbuilding certainly had problematic roots in some things (house elves, ect). but i guess my question would be, what media have you ever consumed that did not have problematic aspects of it? why do especially younger (teens/early 20s) left leaning online activists think that fandom is activism? that even if someone acknowledges the problematic aspects and clearly demonstrates they themselves do not believe in them, they are still committing a moral failing for still liking the source material or engaging in transformative works- again, even when not supporting the creator financially. there is no perfect media and to be clear, yes you are completely hypocritical for feeling morally superior to marauders fans as a sp one, coming from someone who likes both. it just blows my mind how both immature and naive a worldview this is. the average person outside of fandom, or even the average leftist outside of fandom, do not think twice about this imaginary sliding scale of problematicness between what movies or shows you like, their activism is usually focused on material issues. there exists two types of media in this word; one with problematic aspects and one that is intrenched deeply with problematic aspects. finding moral superiority or basing your assumptions on someone’s politics over what fandom they’re in because it’s problematic aspects are vaguely different or worse than the fandom your in is sooo…. yeah no it’s just immature and naive. now, all that to say, you made references to all of this thought process in your post, so you may actually vaguely agree with me and just not be applying it to yourself? i’m not sure. regardless, i’d say that we will always have bigger fish to fry (and yes two issues can exist at once but again this ‘issue’ seems to be for young people to pat themselves on the back over) and that if you point me to a utopia with no problematic media/material, i will be forced to point you to a world without humans. we can always try to be better, try to be as moral as possible and aware of issues in the media we consume, but to feel like someone is morally impure or compromised because of that is shockingly black and white. but, correct me if you do not feel this way, though then you must explain why you hold animosity towards marauders fans then -\_(•_•)_/-

re: this post, for anyone wondering.

cw: for discussions about transphobia and neil gaiman.

(apologies if i fail to address anything, or if i don't do it adequately. i'm fucking exhausted but i thought it was important to get this out here)

hi! so, first off, i'm 19 and british.

i 100% get that the intentions of my assumptions/questions are unclear, or might suggest that my essay-type-thing's intent is to be judgemental, particularly towards Marauders fans.

granted, like everyone, i have a notion of what i think people in specific fandoms are like, and sometimes that idea is probably more negative- negative in the sense that sometimes fans in certain fandoms can be a little intense and take fandom way too seriously in a way that stresses me out, if that makes sense. none of these assumptions are personal judgements against the morality of these fans as individuals or the fandom as a whole. i think it's a chronically online take to say 'if you like this piece of media you are an irredeemable prick'. more often than not, that statement is ridiculous given how inconsequential that piece of media is to the world, and the 'irredeemable prick' in question is probably just some guy (gender neutral). people are well within their rights to enjoy things and create things based on that enjoyment.

so, i'm someone who finds it quite weird and obnoxious when people- usually younger people, in my experience- try to equate fandom with morality and moral purity. i don't consider myself one of those people for the most part.

to explain the exception to that, i will admit that, as a trans and nonbinary person, i have a bit of a problem with people who continue to financially support Harry Potter and JKR; i find it distasteful and it's frustrating because of how harmful and massive JKR's platform is. although i would rather people just not engage with Harry Potter and let the franchise die, i respect everyone's right to engage with whatever they want, however they want to engage with it. i'll direct you to a bluesky thread of mine that covers my feelings, but if you don't want to read it, to me, it feels like people who continue to engage with Harry Potter uncritically care more about a fictional teenager in a fictional world than they do real-life trans people whose real lives JKR is making worse. call me an asshole but, as a trans person, having to go to work and serve customers who would rather spend however many dollars/pounds on a piece of crap Harry Potter merch than donate it to a trans-supportive charity makes me want to just stop existing.

i'm of this opinion that 'giving money to JKR = bad' because of how JKR uses her platform unlike any other creator i've seen, aside from maybe Graham Linehan, but even then his influence and impact is microscopic compared to that of JKR, so, for me, i still feel comfortable engaging with his shows. the wider consensus of Linehan is that he's a sad little man who made good shows, so it's not like continuing to enjoy his work will do as much harm compared to showing support for the more well-respected children's author J.K. Rowling. JKR's unpunished transphobia, for me and many others, has eclipsed any good i can take from her work. call me a hypocrite, but i feel like it's my call to make as a trans/nonbinary person which gender-critical creators' work i can still engage with and whose i can't. Harry Potter is probably the biggest IP in the world. JKR is one of the world's most successful authors. meanwhile the IT Crowd and Linehan are far smaller in their reach. if i do ever give the IT Crowd a rewatch, though, i'll sail the seven seas.

i think it's a complex conversation around whose work you support and whose you don't, and how you support it, if at all. and, is reading someone's book without paying for it supporting it? it's complex and a lot of your boundaries are down to personal comfort. a lot of creators do awful things, such as disgraced author Neil Gaiman, and usually the only baseline boundary set is to not give such creators any more money. some people will be able to engage with his work still, but some won't.

similarly, i think a lot of media has problematic elements- poorly aged jokes, actors who have turned out to be awful people, plotlines that are racist, transphobic, homophobic- so it makes it a pretty complex thing to reckon with. one of my favourite shows of all-time, How I Met Your Mother, has plenty of regrettable jokes. i can see why people wouldn't want to give it the time of day, or might question me for loving it so much if i didn't call out the jokes about trans women being men.

personally, i view the Marauders fandom as being a separate thing to the wider Harry Potter fandom. i'm a little ambivalent of it because, as someone who has no attachment to it, i can't help but, to an extent, see it as another unnecessary thing that is maintaining the lifespan of Harry Potter, which means that JKR's relevancy and influence is still going strong. however, and this is a big however, seeing as it's so divorced from Harry Potter and is so fan-driven, i'm more willing to approve of people's participation in it- not that anyone needs my approval for anything. my problem will always be more with people who financially support Harry Potter, but i still have an issue with the fact that so many people continue to talk uncritically about Harry Potter, as though its creator isn't at all comparable to her story's villain. but, the fact that most Marauders fans seem to be anti-JKR and have shaped this pocket of the Wizarding World for themselves- i'd assume, in part, to reject the creator whose work they have build upon- means that i can't really see the Marauders fandom as being nearly as egregious as a bunch of wilfully ignorant 20-to-30-year-olds whose disregard for real-life trans people leads them to give money to and maintain the relevancy of a transphobe. i can't blame Marauders fans in the same way that i can Harry Potter fans.

with South Park, as someone who's watched a lot of it and has a fondness for it, i can't see it as just 'the racist little boys show' that so many people on here especially boil it down to being. i also recognise that watching it when you're young probably isn't a great idea, because, having watched it since i was 9, i, until my early teens, figured that it was okay to make offensive jokes like they did on South Park, because i lacked the media literacy to understand a lot of the show's messaging.

my essay is going to be about transmasculinity/queerness and fandom, with regards to the Marauders and South Park fandoms in particular. a while ago i was wondering why exactly South Park is so popular with young, queer people on Tumblr and AO3, considering most of them are likely progressive, and the show is fairly Libertarian (?) and not concerned with political correctness. i wondered if, for transmasc people specifically, it was because they are able to use it as a form of wish-fulfilment of getting to experience boyhood, if that makes sense. i think i commented it somewhere on Tumblr, and someone responded confirming that my idea resonated with their connection to the show.

fast-forward to last week, i started writing a blog post about the casting of John Lithgow, and within the post i wrote a bit about my opinion on people who still engage with Harry Potter, which is that i find it distasteful to keep engaging with Harry Potter as though its creator isn't spreading misinformation about trans people and financially contributing to anti-trans causes. i wrote a tangent about the Marauders fandom, going into the complexity of it compared to just being a Harry Potter fan, where it is questionable- if not objectionable- to still be into Harry Potter when its legacy is so tied to transphobia, but also a lot of its fans are probably queer- trans or trans allies- and from what i've seen compared to the wider Harry Potter fandom, the Marauders fans are more outspoken in their anti-JKR stances.

spending so much time thinking about the Marauders fandom for that post got me wondering if trans Marauders fans might also have that connection to the Marauders fandom from a perspective of getting to explore boyhood through these often queer-interpreted characters. additionally, like South Park, i connected that both pieces of media have ties to transmisogyny. so, i also wanted to ponder the complex ethics of being transmasc or AFAB trans/nonbinary and still engaging with a piece of media that has ties to the belittlement of transfems and trans women. a big question i want to consider is that, as a transmasc or AFAB trans/nonbinary person, is there anything wrong with engaging with media that has platformed the degradation of transfems. does your own transness give you the right to excuse transphobia that isn't entirely directed at you? i don't think it can be concrete 'yes' or 'no' thing. and, i thought it would be an interesting thing to explore given i'm AFAB trans/nonbinary, and i'm fascinated with fandom. my essay-thing aims to be nuanced, not black and white.

tldr: i don't think i'm better than or morally superior to anyone. other than, y'know, people who still give money to the world's biggest transphobe, which i think is pretty reasonable all in all.

full disclosure, if anyone else wants to contact me with any concerns about my post, can you try to not be so passive-aggressive? not to be an asshole to whoever this person is but i feel like they took my post in bad faith (or maybe i'm missing something; let me know). i think my post was pretty friendly and transparent in its intentions, enough for at least 5 people so far to feel comfortable getting in touch with me giving me their responses. i sort of get where Anon's coming from, because i know how judgemental people can be about fandoms, but i think this was unnecessarily hostile. it's the kind of response that is exactly why big fandoms make me so anxious. but, also, if i did come across that way in that post, i'm sorry. sometimes i don't realise how i come across (i'm probably autistic, i won't lie), and i assume my intentions are obvious when they're not, or i'll include things without fully thinking about their impact. but, my intentions with this aren't malicious, and i don't have any animosity towards Marauders fans. i'm kind of stressed out about this now after getting this ask so i really want everyone to know that i'm not trying to mock or belittle people or anything. i just wanted to write about something that i find interesting. but, i wanted to get some input from people in the fandom so i can have a more informed opinion.

thanks to everyone who has responded to my post so far, and thanks to everyone who has been kind and hasn't assumed the worst of me. i hope that my post really didn't imply that i assumed the worst of you guys. and, if it did, i'm sorry. i don't think i'm better than you.

I shaved my underarms finally after weeks (months) of ignoring self care ✌🏻 no more pits of despair babeyyyy

Jk I’m still in the trenches (depression) and the dirt (burnout)

BUT I can wear short sleeves for work again so no more sweating my soul out

[oddinary4bts]

hot take……….if jk isn’t man enough to fight for her then he isn’t man enough to be with her

i know he has his own issues but he keeps breaking her heart over and over again.his self-destruction is keeping them apart and subsequently affecting both of them. oc better move on and find herself a man because girly needs her time out of the trenches😮‍💨

also how does it feel creating a community where people share their own opinions and theories for the stories you create? it’s just so cool to see people getting worked up and debating about fictional characters. on top of that, you’re doing all of this for FREE??? we thank you for your service🧎🏻‍♀️

Oh thanks bby! Some days it gets hard bc I feel like there’s a lot of negativity but at the end of the day I’m really thankful that I get to interact with y’all😌

She really needs her time out of the trenches but… what if Jungkook is the one to finally take her out of them🫣

[ballplayersxo]

“Her family is well known and it’s a small town he wouldn’t dare 😡”

🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐

Princess Diana from the Spencer family got cheated on by the now King of the Commonwealth who has married his mistress

Kate Middleton, the Princess/Dutchess of Wales (or whatever it is) is allegedly getting cheated on by the Prince/Duke of Wales and her family was also well known in their city before they got together

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter’s family was pretty much known by not only the entire city of Houston but the state of Texas before she got with JayZ, and now they are known by the entire world, and guess what???? BEYONCÉ herself still got cheated on

Jackie O “allegedly” got cheated on by the President when she was the First Lady and her family was well known before she got with JK

Hillary Clinton literally got cheated on by the President in the f*cking Oval Office when she was the First Lady of the USofA and got humiliated in front of not just the nation but the entire f*cking world

Im sure there are women who come from well known families in their hometowns who are married to local/statewide politicians or even just regular dudes who are getting cheated on as well

And the sad part is, guess what all those women (excluding the OG Princess Diana) have in common?

Once they found out about their partner’s infidelity: they stayed.

and there are people who most likely knew this was happening, but to those people, why say something against this powerful man (yes we would usually call those people cowards with no back bone) and it has nothing to do with them and ain’t messing up they pockets?

Im not saying JB9 is a cheater, I really hope he isn’t because that shit isn’t cool at all, and I have nothing against his girlfriend, but to say that she wouldn’t get cheated on because of her family is some top tier nonsense when the most powerful women in the world throughout history have gotten cheated on.

Y’all know the saying: “If Beyoncé got cheated on what does that say about what happens to the rest of us?”

(Of course, not everyone is getting cheated on, there are good men out there believe it or not and I want to believe JB9 is one of them)

Again, I’m not saying he cheats, I really hope he doesn’t because no one deserves to get treated like that whether they accept it or not, but she’s not exempt from it happening to her. Especially when that man is the franchise QB1 that brought that team out from the trenches and is arguably the 2nd best quarterback in the league

I personally don’t think I could stay knowing my partner is out there doing me wrong whether in public or doing it quietly,

but those women I listed above have the mindset that “ a power couple is better than what else I could get or if I stay single” (which is unfortunate, bc we deserve the force that a single Beyoncé would give). JB9 & her ain’t on that level, maybe in Cincinnati I guess, but ykwim

I don’t know what goes on in their relationship it really ain’t our business, but it seems like the girl is doing just fine regardless

But y’all fans need to be so forreal

And if it helps, I used to be painfully naive too, but then when growing up and reading blogs like this or LSA or hearing things in the news, or just seeing what happens in my city……yeah, unfortunately the rose tinted glasses fall off and get stepped on real fast without mercy (and this is coming from a 24yo hopeless romantic)

Sorry this is so long but last thing:

I’m rooting for all y’all ladies out there 😘 be safe girly pops!

It’s hard out here for women, and people (including women) don’t care about us when it protects their favorite men

this is such an excellent post lmao thank you for this anon cause the girlies have lost their damn minds when it comes to speculating about athletes cheating. none of us are safe and i think that’s the main point we have to remember

hi tumblr! I’m Eve, a queer Scottish poet returning to the motherland that is tumblr.com. I very much was in the tumblr trenches during my teen years (I spent a lottt of time on this platform between 2013-2018) but thought it was about time I returned with a new account, since I’ve been hearing tumblr is a very chill place to be rn?

embarrassingly, I used to run a fandom blog (think superwholock but heavy on the Sherlock, with some HP in there before JK Rowling showed her true terf colours) and a Muse blog (they are still my favourite band and I can now happily say I’ve seen them live 3 times!).

I’m now 23, about to graduate from uni with a English Literature & Spanish degree, where I specialised in creative writing poetry :)! I write weird, queer, eco-horror narrative poetry about transhumanism, bodies, gore, and other fun stuff. I probably won’t be using tumblr for that, but if I’ve peaked your interest you can find me on IG @ devilfruitpoems. I recently wrote a book (!) as my dissertation which I feel like tumblr would really enjoy if it still has the spirit of the site I remember lol.

right now, I’m really into mcr (obviously, I never grew out of that), old patd, other emo-aligned groups, post-punk, alternative 80s/new wave, Midwest emo, shows like the walking dead, aggretsuko, the breaking bad universe (lol), and a lot of film bro movies although I do not share their gatekeepy attitude about what’s good and what isn’t. my favourite movie is literally Lego Batman. I’m really into fashion and self-expression, so probably will document some scenemo outfits here (I am lucky enough to have a job where I can dress how I like!), and of course I’m heavy into literature. I’ve been on a real Ursula K. Le Guin kick this year, and she inspired a lot of my dissertation with her eco-horror feminist science-fiction. soooo before her time. I’m honestly into a lot more stuff, but it’s hard to think of it all compactly to write in one post lol so you can always send me an ask. I’ve recently started playing breath of the wild (I’ve put it off for years) and I’m a big Nintendo head so expect some reblogs related to games as well :)!

it’s lovely to be back, and I hope to find some cool blogs here soon! I love video essays, Internet lore, stories, as well as shitposts, so recommend me some good blogs if you can!

Thanks!

Eve
