#love a midwestern farm boy

[fatwithoutkatsudon]

The first Justice League meeting but Superman brings a casserole and thinks everyone is rude when they leave immediately after stating they’re going instead of lingering for an hour or two and staying their intent to leave 3-5 times.

[overlyobsessed223]

decaf

Hal might have physically made it to the emergency Justice League meeting Batman had the audacity to call so suddenly at 4 o'clock in the morning, but mentally he’s still half asleep. The room is dead silent, even though mostly everyone has arrived by now, save for Barry—who they’re expecting to be fifteen minutes late as usual—and Clark. The only solace Hal is able to draw upon is that he’s clearly not the only one royally peeved by the ungodly wakeup call, as Dinah and Oliver are both glaring daggers at Bats and Arthur has already made three snappish comments since he got here five minutes ago. 

All Hal knows is there better be a damn good reason for this.

Clark showing up a minute later with his arms full of donut boxes and coffees doesn’t exactly ease the high tensions in the room, but Hal does perk up a bit when the smell of strong coffee hits his nose. He mumbles a quick, “thanks, man,” when Clark places a coffee with Green Lantern written on it in front of him. Grabbing it, he’s about to take a long, desperate gulp when he sees, out of the corner of his eye, Clark place a cup labeled Flash in front of Barry’s empty chair. Even through the brain fog that’s severely impairing his ability to think, he remembers something important. 

“Hey, that’s decaf, right?” Hal asks, breaking the silence in the room. Clark turns and gives him a questioning look, so Hal points at Barry’s coffee and elaborates. “Barry’s coffee. It’s decaf, right? He doesn’t drink anything with caffeine in it.”

“Oh! Yeah, it’s decaf,” Clark clarifies, offering a cheery, chipper smile that burns Hal’s retinas. He looks well rested and ready to start the day, the midwestern farm boy in him making him stick out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of them. “Don’t worry, I didn’t forget.”

“Cool, cool,” Hal nods, settling back in his chair. He finally goes in for a sip of his coffee and barely manages to refrain from moaning out loud when the bitter taste hits his tongue. “Thanks,” he adds as an afterthought. 

The silence resumes. Only, Hal realizes that instead of everyone in the room staring at Batman, they’re now all staring at him, with varying looks ranging from confused to bewildered. Or, in Bruce’s case, unamused and unimpressed.

“What?” Hal frowns.

“That was just very, um,” Arthur trails off, as if he can’t find the words to complete his thought. 

“Cute,” Dinah interjects to finish the thought hanging in the air. She suddenly seems wide awake now, leaning forward eagerly whilst gripping the edge of the table with both hands, eyes glimmering with way too much knowing for Hal’s comfort. “Adorable, even.”

“Shut up,” Hal rolls his eyes, but to his horror he can feel his face begin to heat up. He fixes Dinah with a glare and hopes to god Clark will have the decency to not call attention to the way his heart has begun to pound against his ribcage. “For the last time, Barry and I are just friends. And for the record, making sure your buddy has the right drink does not mean you’re in love with him.”

“Uh, huh,” Dinah says, but the smirk on her face tells Hal his point didn’t quite land the way he’d intended it to. Meanwhile, at the opposite side of the table, Hal sees J’onn pull out a miniature notebook out of his pocket and begin carefully writing notes, as he tends to do when conversations about human culture come up.

“Why didn’t you ask if my coffee is decaf?” Oliver cuts in, sounding oddly hurt.

“Do you… drink decaf coffee?” Hal asks, confused. 

“No,” Oliver glowers, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at his untouched cup of coffee.

“Then why would I—”

A hand slams down onto the table, and with that the room goes silent as everyone turns to where Batman is looming over them, appearing in no mood for small talk or discussion of Hal’s love life. Hal thinks this might be one of the rare times when he and the Bat find themselves in strong agreement.  

“Might I remind everyone at this table that we have an emergency, globe threatening situation on our hands?” Bruce glares around the table. “We should begin briefing now; Flash can be filled in on what he missed at the end.”

Ten minutes into a very tense briefing, Barry finally decides to show his face. His face is even more shadowed with sleep deprivation than anyone else, and Hal instantly suspects he didn’t sleep at all, but he figures he’ll grill him on that later. Barry’s eyes brighten when they land on the cup of coffee and full box of donuts in front of him. 

Barry picks up the coffee, inspects it for a second, and that’s when Hal leans in and whispers, “I checked—it’s decaf.”

And the way Barry beams at him, it does what even Hal’s coffee couldn’t achieve—it has him teeming with energy, ready to start the day.

I think it would be really sweet if Clark embraces his roots and goes all out whenever he flirts and coos at Bruce, calling him all sorts of nickname in private, only in private, because he's not letting anyone sees how Bruce's eyes soften and his usual >:( turns into a :| with a hint of soft pink on his cheeks and ears. Only he can see Bruce becoming soft and pliant.

(More scenarios under the cut)

"Pumpkin pie" he purred, gently squeezing Bruce's shoulders as he kisses his neck, wanting to initiate a love making session together.

"Doll face" Clark coos as he craddle Bruce's rugged face with his hand, his beloved Batman sitting on his lap, pouting like a spoiled boy.

"Sweetie" he whispers as he tries to get Bruce to get his eyes off the screen after his dearest does a full blown all night research about someone suspicious.

"Honey" he whimpers as he begs Bruce for attention as he gently squeeze his thighs, acting like a needy puppy.

"Sugar" he lovingly call out to Bruce, who's wearing a crisp, freshly ironed suit and tie.

All spoken with that twang Bruce loves so much, something about it makes him feel warm and fuzzy. Not to mention with how natural it feels when those words of affection spill out from Clark's tongue.

Bruce's favorite must be Pumpkin, or munchkin, or maybe honey? Or that one time Clark calls him "my oeey gooey honey pie, my cute little pumpkin, I want to kiss that sugar lips of yours, by sweet munchkin" when Bruce finally wakes up around 1 PM after a rough night patrol on a sunday. His hair is tousled like crazy, bruises from fights covering his pale skin, yet Clark gazes at him like he's the most beautiful creature he has laid his eyes on.

Bruce never teases him about his accent, Clark never has to control his tongue or think twice about what he's going to say, being with Bruce makes him appreciate his accent more, especially with how Bruce melts onto him whenever he calls him "honey pie".

Then one day Clark calls Bruce "pretty kitten" with that sweet, sweet thick midwestern accent, while that is under the sun, carrying hay to feed his horses in the Farm, while he's covered in sweat, only wearing a cursed white t-shirt and a pair of tight jeans-

"Hey pretty kitten, you okay? You look as red as a tomato! Cool down in my bedroom, doll face, turn on the AC, it's old, but it works"

Bruce folded and squirms, Clark grins and teases him more. It ends up with Clark pinning Bruce to the nearest barn wall and purring all sorts of nicknames right to his ear. What a day

what is she wearing? an old t-shirt worn ragged, either once her father's or owned since high school, jean shorts that are similarly toeing the end of their lives, thrifted maxi skirts and loose dresses when it's just too hot to justify anything touching her legs, minty chapstick that just appeared on her room one day, a braid edged in a bow of string, heavy work jeans to help on the farm, a single silver cross in the hollow of her throat

what is she listening to? plastic jesus by tia blake, i know the end by phoebe bridgers, castle on a hill by ed sheeran, sullen girl by fiona apple, solid liquid gas by eartheater, ptolemaea by ethel cain, the bug catcher by haley heynderickx

✴︎ who was raised small-town religious and still is, but in her own special way - god is now a friend to talk to rather than a deity to be feared.

✴︎ who falls into a summer fling that quickly turns to be more with the boy with sparkling eyes giving her parents a hand on their farm over the summer.

✴︎ who rambles through the graveyards and the more desolate parts of her once-great midwestern industry town, sometimes on the arm of her sweet boyfriend who's happy to be with her, no matter where it happens to be.

✴︎ who is more likely to have bugs crawling over her hands than kittens cradled in them, who wanders the gravel roads leading up to the farm after storms to pluck lost worms out of harm's way.

✴︎ who is trying to learn that while home may be people, not place, it's okay to miss the places too - even if other people tell you you shouldn't

✴︎ whose first kiss was shy and quick, proceeding her prompt disappearance into her room for several hours while she tried to parse the way her stomach fluttered at the feeling of his lips over hers.

✴︎ who isn't necessarily sure she knows what love is, certainly not romantically, but knows that being curled under his arm feels safe and certain and that might just be enough for her.

love love love the stark contrast between superbat's motifs like they were made to complete each other... wdym kryptonians get power from the sun, but also look it's the dark knight his symbol is in the night sky and everything...

midwestern farm boy clark kent who was raised with lots of love from his parents meanwhile bruce wayne was orphaned at such a young age, he had to inherit all his parents' wealth and live in that mausoleum of a mansion with alfred...

the way bruce wayne's persona is this arrogant, obnoxious playboy who sits on top of the world and clark kent is a shrunken, jittery reporter meant to be pushed into the sidelines...

[lagunz]

you know what i love? i love the way that the people who meet izzy describe him. everyone who got/gets a chance to meet izzy in their life knows he's something special. he was the glue of GNR, the most meaningful lyrics came from him. he was really something different from his bandmates.

he's described to be shy when first met, but after spending time with him he gets comfortable and the conversation turns easy flowing. he's described multiple times as a cool guy, he was always destined for fame. maybe that was what made him cool, destined for fame but he stepped himself out of that and yet still stays relevant and successful. truly cool.

“I was just blown away. I mean, Izzy was just about the coolest thing I’d ever seen in my life. He had this aura about him, with dyed black hair and he was a really nice guy who wasn’t into playing a role or pretending he was someone else, like so many of those people. Izzy dressed cool. He smoked cool. He was great. You could see that he was going to be a huge rock star someday.”

— Chris Weber about meeting Izzy for the first time at the Rainbow parking lot (Watch you bleed by Stephen Davis)

'Is this the... uh, red-letter district,' he asks me uninterestedly in his slightly paranoid half-whisper of a voice. A lantern-jawed Midwestern farm boy with haunted eyes and a monumental Keith Richards fixation.

— Nick Kent 1990

Silent, introverted, pointy-chinned and meek, Izzy tried to respond, coquettishly flirting back and smirking like a shy schoolboy.

— Unknown memoir

I was entranced by his eyes, glowing with the most magical olive and amber tones I had ever seen, as the glaring sun reflected down into them.

Attempting to explain Batman fandom drama to my mom is hilarious, because her shipping takes are really bizarre. Over the course of a conversation about SuperBat, she expressed the following opinions:

Bruce Wayne can’t be bi because one of his past male love interests from his past would have showed up by now.

Dick Grayson can be bi though, despite also having no male love interests, because he’s young.

Clark Kent can also be bi, despite also having no male love interests, because he’s a midwestern farm boy.

Bruce Wayne can’t be bi because his female love interests would seem like beards. (I have no idea where she’s getting this from—she’s watched Batman: The Animated Series several times—she knows he likes Selina.)

Dick being bi is fine though because he has “deep connections” to his female love interests that seem more genuine to her.

DC can never make Batman bi or gay as long as Batman is Bruce Wayne. Anyone else as Batman is fine! Dick Grayson as Batman can be bi! Just not Bruce Wayne.

She is, clearly, extremely against Bruce Wayne—and only Bruce Wayne—being bi.

SuperBat makes no sense because Clark would never go for Bruce (and Bruce can’t be bi).

Oh, and I talked about a bunch of popular and unpopular ships with her to get a pulse on her opinions. The only one that actively grossed her out? Bruce/Barbara. The one between two 100% unrelated people well into their adulthoods without a significant mentorship dynamic. Like, I’m with her on disliking the ship, I just think it’s funny that she decided that’s the ship she dislikes most.

[ijustthinkhesneat]

Okay but…. Bruce and Clark’s civilian personas lowkey loving their superhero counterparts before they learn each others identities? Like Superman and Batman, barely functional coworkers, that are lowkey in love but can’t say it, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne? Clark eat the rich Kent and Bruce how many sides does a triangle have Wayne? No. But like Clark just is like I love Batman he’s so smart and mysterious and his voice is so sexy and etc. And Bruce is like I want Superman to be the father of my many, many children.

Brucie is being interviewed on a yacht in a tiny speedo acting like the giggly bimbo he is on the inside. Clark Kent, a sweet midwestern boy who thinks billionaires should die, is not living his best life in this interview. Like Bruce is shamelessly flirting talking about how big and strong Clark looks, obligatory corn shucking innuendo and finally Clark is on his final question and is just like “So what do you think of Superman?”

He notices a change in Bruce, hears his heart pick up just a tiny amount, notices his eyes dilate ever so slightly. Even smells the tiniest hormonal shift. And Bruce is just “I think he is the best thing that’s ever happened to this planet.” And says he wishes Batman had his empathy and sense of humanity.

Bruce starts reading the daily planet religiously cause of the pretty farm boy with the familiar jawline he just can’t place and reads an article by Clark gushing about Batman, how he fights against corruption and makes Gotham a safer place. How he is an unbeatable genius and Superman could learn from his strategic methodology.

Fast forword a few months it’s a boring JLA meeting and Clark just can’t help it. He is seated across from Batman who looks busy brooding and just has to know. He can’t wait another minute longer to know and if it’s just a tiny peek it won’t hurt anyone. And his brain just stops working. He sees the absolute image of beauty that is Brucie the bimbo boi Wayne. Is just can’t even imagine. And then he he’s like does he know? He said all those nice things about me in that interview? Meanwhile Bruce is watching Superman be shocked and is like what is this dumb beautiful puppy man up to now and a few strands of Clark’s hair fall in his face and it just clicks. Bruce needs to use all his willpower to not have his jaw hit the floor. The pretty farm boy who writes the most insightful articles in about the corporate world is Superman and he is 5ft away.

Ohmygosh. I haven't been able to stop thinking about farmer Jason since you first posted about him! It's the midwestern in me. I think the first question would be what does he farm? Do you think he would be a cattle or, like, a corn and soybean kind of farmer? More like a farmhand for those people. Alternatively, he could have his own little farm just for himself. He would have a decent acreage with an old fixer upper. He'd have chickens for eggs and grow his own vegetables. He'd work to being self sufficient. But he is a city boy so he doesn't really know what he is doing. Ooooh i just realized the weather would be so different from Gotham. One day it is 80+ the next it is hailing and oh what is that? A tornado warning the next day? But it is raining without any clouds in the sky?? The summers are like swamp heat and how is it -30 outside and people are still wearing shorts and oh gosh is that a hail tornado? I have more thoughts but I like hearing yours more >///<

yay!!! i'm so glad you're loving farmer!jason <3

what does he farm? Do you think he would be a cattle or, like, a corn and soybean kind of farmer? More like a farmhand for those people.

i think he'd stick mostly to easier farm animals, and for himself mostly! i think he'd sell some products if he ever has too much (he never wants to have too much, because he knows someone else may need it) think goat cheese, cow milk, and eggs! i think his main source of income would come from his crops! probably wheat, and then hay when it's season for it! (he hates doing hay, it's expensive and labor intensive but the profit can be fucking amazing) also corn!! he would have a cornfield and he would deck it out for hayrides and a maze for the harvest season (all the town kids love mr. todd's farm...and the candy apples he gives out for free) so basically i think he'd do mixed farming lol!!

Ooooh i just realized the weather would be so different from Gotham. One day it is 80+ the next it is hailing and oh what is that? A tornado warning the next day? But it is raining without any clouds in the sky?? The summers are like swamp heat and how is it -30 outside and people are still wearing shorts and oh gosh is that a hail tornado?

as a girl with multiple tornado shelters on her land...if jason experiences one tornado he's building one. also i just know his first summer there he'd be DYING!! it's hot in a way that's literally almost inescapable. it's humid and unrelenting. he think's he'll get a break in the winter...no. southern winter is just ice on the roads...and i don't think the city is salting any roads by his house. (cause they're all backroads/dirt roads)

ＩＮＴＲＯＤＵＣＩＮＧ — bonnie .ᐟ.ᐟ

she’s a starry-eyed, sweet smiled southern belle of a girl

ATTRIBUTES: smallville’s golden girl, high school’s resident country girl, farm girl by the clock, guitarist— well, when she gets time. all around animal lover, has a soft spot for horses and anything with big eyes, and a certain blue-eyed mystery, but who can help it? loves her old cowboy boots that her mom wore in high school, you’d rarely see an outfit without it. music’s her everything, so is seeing her sweet boy smile.

HISTORY: she’d always been a southern belle— kansas was a midwestern state, sure, but nobody could bring themselves to lose the joy of it, even though she knew it herself. once the meteors struck, she wasn’t anywhere near the worst of it, but a while later she saw the KENTS handling a small boy her age, running in the fields. with a small, gapped grin, BONNIE just knew it, that this boy was gonna be her best friend.

Oddly specific Headcanons I have for Jon Kent

Jon is aged up to between 15-17, roughly in this area

Being a retired farm boy Jon has this midwestern/southern accent that only really appears when he's upset

For example, when he's really emotional about something he'll start slurring his words into "yall" or some other southern slang

Personally I headcanon he would call Lois "mama" instead of "mom" no matter what age he is

I have a hunch that he doesn't like to sweat. He doesn't mind getting dirty with farm work or any other type of down-in-the-mud thing, but the moment he starts to sweat a little too much he'll speed up whatever he's doing and will just be a little disgusted with the sticky feeling

This also goes along with him being a very clean boy

He gets annoyed fairly easily (Damian's kind of rubbed off on him) by rude/mean people

He doesn't tolerate bullies even a little bit

He has a tendency to throw/slam things when he's angry (sometimes people, we've all seen the panels where he throws Damian into walls)

That being said, he has great control of his super-strength, but he relieves tension by physical force

Lois offers him up to neighborhood girls to walk them home from school or some event

It's like "Here, have my son. Let him walk you home, dear. "

That being said, Jon is very much a Mama’s boy and if he thinks Lois wouldn't like someone he's probably not going to be associated with them

Wears jeans religiously and definitely hates sweatpants

Loves sweatshirts and big coats and shirts but loathes sweatpants

He feels naked and it just makes him uncomfy

He hates tight t-shirts and tanktops, he'd rather die than wear them

Somehow still tolerates his suit tho, he says it's "who I have to be for the people"

Because of Colin, has a bad habit of cussing at minor inconveniences

"Jesus christ goddammit, why is the toaster cord melted? Kon, this is the second time this week, man. Pull yourself the fuck together"

But when there's an actual situation that is deserving of colorful language he uses the most creative replacements

"Klarion took Damian hostage? That KFC finger licker is going to get blended!" Or something like this

If Damian uses a word he doesn't understand he'll just stare at him like a deer in headlights

Jon and Dami have this like twin telepathy ability to always know what the other wants and it pisses Colin and Billy off so much

They just look at each other and are like "yeah I know what you mean, I think that's going to be the best approach to the situation"

He gives me DECA vibes honestly. Or he'd be in speech and do Entertainment or Persuasive.

Definitely is in journalism for his parents' sake, even if it makes him die a little inside everytime someone asks him if he wants to be a journalist

Probably wants to go into biology or heath sciences

hihi. infodump about my farmer. cause im bored as shit and don’t have much else to do.

the profile thing cause uh yeah why not

but like some more random tidbits and stuff that didn’t fit in the uh. the uh thing

no real format cause fuck it we ball 🔥🔥🔥

- 6’3, squarely

- in the Navy he worked as a steelworker, having some experience in welding

- originally signed to Joja after his discharge to “make more money”. got so disillusioned and bored with the office job he couldn’t take it anymore

- doesn’t like to eat eggs. except for mayo for some reason

- very quickly became friends with Kent

- regularly goes fishing with willy, like at least twice a week. feels a connection to him (uncle-nephew?), and the similar name situation makes things funnier

- at the very beginning, william struggled with the farming aspect, so fishing was his go-to

- exclusively attracted to guys

- met elliott once and immediately knew he was the right one for him

- DOG LOVER. absolutely a dog lover until the day he dies. as shown by his two dogs Sawyer and Ironwood

- preference for the nickname Will, but doesn’t mind Bill (he absolutely despises Liam on the other hand. don’t call him that.)

- besides the ones listed, he also is good friends with Shane, Alex, and Robin

- hates the city, says he couldn’t be a city boy if he tried. instantly gets overstimulated the moment he crosses the boundary line into Zuzu.

- has a soft accent, im just not sure whether or not I want it to be southern or midwestern

uh yeah if you wanna ask anything about him please don’t hesitate, I’d love to answer them (to expand upon what I have here)

[thelonesomequeen]

I would love to live where you live if you consider Chris Evans basic?!!! With those eyes and that body? Seriously, give us the goods, lol. Where is this utopia where the are guys hotter than America's Ass just strolling around?//

It's called Boston. I didn't believe it when my friend who lives in Boston would say that, until I visited her. You can throw a stick and hit ten guys who look like Chris Evans.

If you want your Evans clone to have more of a Steve Rogers heft, head to any Midwestern division 1 college campus. It'll take all of ten minutes to find a few corn fed farm boy versions.

For the anon 😂🦎

[goldendiie]

Hi so this headcanon comes from a little experience growing up in a small farm town in Ohio

Sarge is at least a decent cook, almost every family event includes a potluck from graduations to funerals, most families will have a "secret" family recipe for a dish, lots of fresh vegetables and meat are available , and barbecues really big here.

He will look on in horror as rich city boy Fillmore tries to microwave a perfectly cut steak

I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS!!!!! Sarge is the GRILLMASTER and he loves a big ol potluck. He can make the best damn burger you've ever had in your life. He'll make pasta/potato/egg salad like you've never seen. All those midwestern delicacies. Fillmore can't cook for shit though, especially early on. He certainly tries, but he manages to burn boiling water. Obv he's a self-sufficient adult and he learns EVENTUALLY. But there was a lot of baby steps right at the beginning.

Day 147a: Saturday May 27, 2023 - “Milwaukee Zoo”

“Can you say Milwaukee?”  I didn’t even half expect the perfect 3 syllabled response I got back, as the plane banked and lined up to land in what would be William’s 20th State, all before his second birthday.  Ok, let’s try this one - “Wisconsin” - no problem, not even a pause.  Well, put it on your list, son.

We organized our gear and packed the mini-van to get the beautiful day underway- and reset on midwestern time.   It should not be lost in a fun story and reflection that getting up so early and getting launched takes an incredible amount of energy.  Just like space shuttle.  The most energy is burned just getting up off the ground.  But I tell myself I gotta keep doing it so that it can keep getting easier.  Just like everything else.   I unhook, restart, rehydrate, and point the mini-van to the zoo.  Its like its all a brand new day.

After we visited the St Louis Zoo earlier this month with Ben, I had this great idea that maybe this can be our thing we do together over the next couple of years - collect as many different zoos in different places as we can. The Milwaukee County Zoo was wonderful as William’s 5th Major League Zoo.  Especially since it featured a full size steam safari train for us to ride.  It’s hard to say which of us enjoyed that more.   He seemed like a big kid in the little seat across from me and that little boy amazement is the juice all of the squeeze was worth.  I just soaked it in, as he leaned over the edge, looking down the tracks, wind in his long hair.  These are the days.

Now we’re pretty experienced zoo visitors, and I am sure there is a comfortable rhythm in my narration and pace and story telling.  And there definitely was a lot more than expected here for me to narrate.  We saw a Silverback Ape right away and even I was surprised!  Far better than any other zoo on our circuit to date, the primates house was extraordinary.  We saw so many different types of monkeys, up close, including an orangutan.  We saw some big cats, closer than ever and William kissed the tiger’s butt through the glass so I suppose he thought that was cool - something we don’t (yet) have in our hometown zoo.  We even met a couple moo cows for the first time in the petting farm.  But the main attraction of all the animals, for us, was going on a hippo hunt and finding a very friendly one that took a liking to our little lion in the window.  I really love seeing him interact with an animal like the hippo that he won’t see in our regular visits at home and the hippos are always my favorite.

After vision casting about visiting Zoos in other cities, I celebrated the idea of wondering where might go to next! And that enthusiasm for the next one grew after how impressed I was with this gem.  If I had to rank it, it’d be #2 of the 5 we’ve done together.
