“he's a loose cannon, foolish man who needs some medication/she's a shoe-tied, blue sky, honeymoon vacation”

“he's a fixer-upper, skipping supper, hates an obligation/she's a friday night”

“he's a bad dream, nicotine, druggie complication/she's a peace sign, tea time, drinker on occasion”

“he's a ford truck, door shut, runs from conversation/she's an open ear, souvenir, reads the situation”

“he's a whiskey drinking, barely thinking, got no destination/she's a plane ride home”

“oh, I believe they're meant to be/something, somehow, someday.”

BARTYLILY. IN THE FLESH.

barty, the grotty midwestern ‘problem kid’ who ran away from home in a beat up old truck and tattooed himself in the drivers’ seat when he was bored, wears muddy torn jeans and combat boots, always carrying a six-pack of beer and angry eyes. lily, the inherently good daughter who wears sundresses and makes daisy chains in her back garden, always happy to offer a smile, a cup of herbal tea, or the words you need to hear. he’s got endless problems and she’s got endless love in her heart. he’s got a cheap pack of cigarettes and she’s got an even cheaper lighter and a disapproving glare as she lights him up. he’s got no prospects and she has the world at her feet. he’s got no destination and she’s a plane ride home.

SuperBat but they're 2 complete strangers stuck sitting next to each other on a 16-hour long flight ✈️

This is a really fun idea! I imagine it would go similarly to what we see in Superman/Batman annual 1, which is, of course, the precious annual that gave us the wonderful "there's only one bed" situation.

But back to why I think it would be similar. The thing is, if they're forced to share space for so long while they're still strangers, I'm sure they wouldn't stand each other in the beginning. In this annual they only share a room (and a bed he he) for a few hours because of a booking mistake, but that's enough to have Brucie Wayne and Clark Kent throwing pointed comments at each other and bantering like they're the worst of rivals (and they don't even know they're Batman and Superman yet!!)

So yeah, those first hours of the flight would be... interesting, to say the least. But of course, they would eventually come to (reluctantly) enjoy each other's company. I believe that in the course of those 16 hours they would end up showing more of who they truly are and, well, things would go from there. By the end of the flight Bruce would for sure find himself infatuated with the smart and stronger than it seems reporter from Kansas who refuses to take any of Brucie's shit, and Clark would realize that this rich boy from Gotham isn't as bad as he tries to appear.

After all, the annual ends like this, so I don't see a 16-hour long flight ending any different:

Which hot monster are you going to hook up with tonight?

Your Result: Mummy

Surprising to some, mummies are the sluttiest kind of monster. You either love the people that look drowned and victorian, or wicked eyeliner. Detachable limbs are a pro for the night, and there's something about those tight bandages...

Frowning slightly in confusion, Kurapika finally chuckled after a few moments and shook his head, a little amused, a little confused, a little… interested. "The good part about this whole situation is that I could actually learn a lot from a mummy, especially about its time when it was alive, its customs, its traditions…" His eyes widened slightly in surprise, before he covered his mouth with a hand, trying to stifle a somewhat embarrassed laugh. "… I find it disturbingly interesting and arousing now that I think about it. I really want to know what it has to tell me, what I could learn from" Covering his face with his hands to hide his embarrassment at the sudden realization, Kurapika sighed deeply. "Of course, in the hypothetical situation that something like that were biologically feasible"

@verpineshatterrifle your tags are literally so true and real!!! Wanted to post them because they're related to what I've been talking about with what makes someone aro or ace and how it is to live out being those things and because the exploring aspect of this is really underappreciated in fandom imo, both in the context of exploring the character and the character exploring themself. The nulls are such a great example of this because of their Situation, there's so much stuff they know about the world and so much they don't. The idea of them trying things out and it working or not working or working in an extra twisted way feels comfortable and likely. It's messy being anywhere on the aroace spectrum, especially when they live in a society that (I'm assuming) doesn't really know where to place those things

I keep getting parenting subreddit posts rec'd on my dash there. No idea why, have decided I don't care bc a lot of times the post is either funny or is some asshole parent getting utterly smacked in the comments for being an asshole to their kids which is so satisfying lol

The above said, I did just get a post that made me shoot back to childhood and feel so anxious lmao. Interviewing your kid on the last day of school? When did this become a thing fdlkajdkasf

Like, these ppl in the comments have huge lists of questions, with the noted intent to get through as many as they can so they can 'prove their child is learning and prepare them for first grade' whomst in the entire fuck is interviewing your child like that in first grade. Truly, tell me, bc I'd wager it's more they'll be doing much harder maths than I ever did as a first grader and/or learning how not to break the school's laptops they'll eventually be getting sent home with now and then lmao

'If he can't answer then did he really even learn anything', 'if they won't answer me then they aren't ready for first grade and everything it entails'

Your kid is probably 6 or 7 years old. They're going to be a first grader. That's it!! Why are some of these people treating the last day of kinder like a fucking exit interview sdklajfdaskljf. I would have lost it as a kid if my mum had sat me down right after getting home from the last day of school for twenty plus questions about the school year, the day itself, my favourites of everything, why those things were my favourite, what did I think I'd learn in first grade, why did I think I'd learn those things in first grade, how many friends did I make, why did I like them, do I think we'll be good friends in first grade, etc, etc bc I could go on, I'm just paraphrasing the question sets in the huge lists I'm reading on the post rn and there's so much more lmao

Men who view women as their intellectual equals 😍

[marshmellowtea]

while i do enjoy a good gifset i'm gonna be honest i'm definitely not as in love with them as the rest of this website seems to be 😅 it's always kind of disappointing to me when i go into a fandom's tag and see it's almost entirely gifsets of the same scenes i just watched when i also want text post analyses and silly jokes and memes and headcanons and fan art as well......i want conversation and a fandom tag that's mostly gifs just doesn't feel as engaged with the source material as a fandom that's more text post or fan art centered i feel
