#still need a name for this

[foxwithapen]

The bar was cold and lonely but, quite frankly, that's exactly how he wanted it. If the doctor really was right, that meant if he died now it would be...permanent. No, no that couldn't be the case. After all, he was Puss in Boots! He didn't die. He was brave, and charming, and ruggedly handsome. Yes, yes it would all be okay.

"Another glass of cream! Make it your heaviest."

He didn't even listen to the bartender's words, before he left too. And Puss was alone once more. Just like he always was. He could have anyone he wanted, of course, being the legend himself. But no one was of interest to him. No one was good enough.

As he downed another glass of cream, he heard a beautiful whistle, before a low, rough voice sound from behind him. "Well well. If it isn't Puss in Boots himself. In the flesh."

Puss plastered a smile onto his face before turning around, expecting to be hit with the face of an adoring fan. But instead, he had to crane his neck up to stare at the large wolf now sitting next to him.

And he was unlike any other fan Puss had seen. He was large, maybe even intimidating to the common folk—but not a fearless hero such as himself, of course—but, despite this, there was something about that wolf. He was handsome, Puss thought he might even be as handsome as himself, if he was being generous of course. But his fur looked soft and smooth, like a nice glass of leche. And his eyes were piercing, and they certainly hit Puss, like Cupid's arrow gone astray. And when he spoke, his voice was deep and rich. Puss couldn't help but lean in closer.

"Ay, hola guapo," Puss hiccuped. "Are you here for a picture? Or maybe even a signed autograph? I normally don't give those out, but for you, I'd be glad to."

"Es incluso peor de lo que pensaba," the wolf growled under his breath, before letting out a long sigh. "You know, yes actually, I am here for an autograph. Sign right here." From his pocket, he slipped out one of Puss's wanted photos, one he thought he looked quite devilish in, and tapped it with a perfectly sharpened claw.

Puss tipped his hat. "Anything for you, guapísimo." Puss was too busy rummaging for a pen behind the bar that he didn't notice a low growl emanating from the wolf's throat, or the way his hand tightened around one of his sickles. "Ah, here we are." He signed the poster with a flourish, and a little heart to finish it off. After drinking another swig of milk, he said, words slurring together, "Anything else I can sign for you? I could even sign your cheek with a kiss, if you'd like me to...I know I certainly would."

Puss leaned closer, only to be met with the sharp side of a sickle, and a pair of furious, red eyes, narrowed in his direction. "You know, I tried giving you a chance, gato, but my patience is waning." Puss could feel his heart skip a beat, ignoring the way the wolf held him at an arm's length like something disgusting, instead focusing on the blade tipping his head up ever so slightly. This guy knew how to play hard to get. "Do you know who I am?"

"No, but I would love to find out."

"I'm Death, you idiot," the wolf—Death—snarled. "Straight up. I'm not here for a foolish cat to try romancing me, I'm here to end your life! And, quite frankly, the smartest thing you could do right now is to not try fighting that fact."

"If it would get me closer to you." Puss held his arms out, a playful smile dancing across his lips. "Go ahead. Take a shot. Puss in Boots have never been touched by a blade, but if it's you, I'd be willing to be touched by something else."

Death froze for a moment, before withdrawing his sickle with an exasperated sigh and an exaggerated eye-roll. "You know what? You're not even worth my time." And with that, he turned quickly on his heel, and left. Puss followed him with his eyes, not even blinking until Death disappeared into a shadow.

It took Puss a few moments to realize he'd just been rejected. It was an impossible thought to him. Naturally, he'd never been rejected before. How could anyone turn down the fearless hero, the legend? And now, the one time someone did, it was the perfect man. Someone finally worthy of Puss's attention. Puss needed him.

Puss may seem like an idiot, but he didn't become a hero through his dashing looks and charisma alone. He knew how to play it smart. And he knew his dream man was Death himself, and there's one surefire way to get Death to appear. And, well, if that's what it takes for Puss to see his true love... Death would understand. And Death would be his.

No matter the cost.

"If rest becomes a form of recovery from work, as is the case today, it loses its specific ontological value. It no longer represents an independent, higher form of existence and degenerates into a derivative of work. Today's compulsion of production perpetuates work and thus eliminates that sacred silence. Life becomes entirely profane, desecrated."

It was easy to lure the newest Titan away from the rest, back the boy into a corner. He was the weakest link, the newest hero, the easiest to manipulate-

Then, the ghost child transformed, glowing rings passing over his body to reveal a familiar black-haired boy. "Uncle Slade, what the fuck are you doing?"

Soooo I applied for an event but didn't get the table. Might as well post my promotional cutout I drew for submission here lmao

jason todd swears like a sailor whenever you ride him. the visual of your body on top of his, the feeling of your hands on his chest and your cunt fluttering around him, the sweet sounds of your moans and mewls— everything about getting ridden makes jason’s dick hard and turns his brain to mush
