I need more fanboy Clark Kent in my life.

Like, he's seen Bruce Wayne interact with a child once and immediately fell in love with the guy. Now his bedroom walls are plastered with posters and he follows several social media accounts focused on capturing pictures of Bruce with kids and/or animals etc. He defends Bruce to anyone, no matter the antics he gets up to and it has become a bit of a running gag around the office.

Then, one day, Cat is out sick and someone jokingly suggests Clark should cover the gala in her stead, seeing as Bruce Wayne will be there and maybe this'll be Clark's shot to finally get his man? To everyone's surprise, Perry really does assign the gala coverage to Clark, who spends the days leading up to the event in a state somewhere between absolute panic and ultimate bliss.

But when the day finally arrives, Bruce doesn't show.

Of course Clark does his job and interviews everyone there (yes, even Lex Luthor) but a part of him spends all night waiting for Bruce to crash the party late, like he so often does.

Eventually, Clark gives up hope and it's shortly after that, that he stumbles upon one of the children dragged along to the event by their parents. Because apparently someone thought a charity gala was a good environment for an eight year old. The parents are nowhere in sight and the child is close to tears, so Clark makes it his mission to cheer the little girl up, regaling her with stories from his upbringing on a Kansas farm while he searches the crowd for her family.

With Clark thus occupied, he doesn't notice Bruce Wayne finally making his appearance for the night. But Bruce definitely notices him. The gentle giant who's all kind smiles and corny jokes... Until he finds the girl's parents. Uncaring of the fact that he's here on a job and that these people are richer than any one person should be and could easily sue him into oblivion, he takes them aside, fire in his eyes, and tears them a new one for losing track of their kid like this. Anything could have happened to her and maybe the readers of the Daily Planet would like to know about that? After all, how reliable and trustworthy could a company whose CEOs won't even look after their own daughter really be?

Bruce is immediately smitten. The passive-aggressive lecture and subtle threats - not to mention the broad shoulders and handsome face - are incredibly attractive to him and he wastes no time cornering the man afterwards.

Clark, who is so starstruck by the mere sight of Bruce coming towards him that he loses the ability to speak, nearly faints when Bruce just straight up shoves his tongue into his mouth. They end up in one of the coat rooms and Clark thinks that's it, just a one night stand. It sucks that he won't see Bruce again, but the night was amazing and at least he has the memory to treasure, right?

He thinks that right up until he gets to work the next day and two dozen red roses are waiting for him on his desk. There's a handwritten card nestled inbetween the petals and on it is the name of a restaurant along with a date and time. It's signed by Bruce.

And that is how Clark gets together with his celebrity crush.

'Reservations' by LemonadeGarden

Author: @lemonadegarden

“I'm– I'm okay.” Clark says, coughing. “I'm sorry, did you say you got a PowerPoint about Bruce?”

“Yes. More precisely, the pros and cons of pursuing a romantic relationship with him.” Diana says, looking at her phone, her perfect brow scrunched up in confusion.

Clark leans over to look at the PowerPoint slides. “Oh wow.” He says. “There's pie charts and statistics and everything.”

“He certainly was very dedicated.” Diana agrees. “Look, here's a infographic about Bruce's top three interests.”

“All three of them say Justice.” Clark says, dryly.

“No need to take any of this so seriously, Clark. I have a boyfriend. Besides, I'm not blind, you know.”

“What do you mean?” Clark says.

Diana just smiles again. “Let us just say, there aren't enough PowerPoints in the world to make me break my best friend's heart.” She says, clapping Clark's shoulder.

Did not expect to see my dear superbat Tumblr posts on Reddit tiktok voice over accounts today but 2024 just keeps going huh

[hullabalooman]

Funniest switch up on tiktok recently is the “Reddit aita stories read by a robot voice to Minecraft parkour” posts being slowly replaced with superbat tumblr fics instead, and people in the comments being like “I’ve never thought about Batman and Superman kissing until now but now I’m invested”

Gale's Room in Waterdeep Reference

A few notes:

Is that a statue of Mystra on his desk?

His bench looks pretty old

Quite a lot of statues and paintings around his room

Empty display case in back

His book is called "The Art of the Night"

Let me know if you'd like a closer view of anything in this room.

Has anyone talked about how Wyll suddenly grows fangs? You ever try to wear fake fangs and suddenly you can't talk properly anymore.

I had to get dentures at 21, new topology in your mouth makes talking TIRING, and HARD.

Here are some headcannons!

He struggles to say a word to someone during the day and at night goes to gale, "I cant say retwackd [retract] :(" and gale tries to help him out.

Lae'zel hears him say something incorrectly and is understanding. "These faerun words twist on my tongue, too. There is no shame in learning to use new tools."

Shadowheart doesn't call attention to it unless prompted. It's not her business, but if Wyll brings it up, Shadowheart admits that she struggles to say "Little", and to Wylls shock and horror, he too can't say little properly. It becomes an inside joke to try to make the other person say little, and eventually they both get a little better at it.

Karlach confidently offers to help, she's had fangs her whole life! But it's difficult to explain to someone how to do something you do automatically. "This isn't helping, Karlach..." "Yeaaaaah... Sorry."

Astarion is giddy, at first, to see the Blade of Frontiers struggeling, but eventually it starts to gnaw at him. "Oh gods, this is embarrassing." He turns to face Wyll. "Flatten your tongue more. And where you try to press for that "r" sound, move the tip of your tongue ever so slightly higher than you would normally." He opens his mouth to demonstrate.

A bit dejected after Karlach's lessons, Wyll tries to follow along and, to his surprise, it actually works.

"How-" but Astarion cuts him off. "You're not the first person in camp who's had to learn to use new teeth, Wyll." His thoughts seem to be drifting off somewhere far away, before snapping back. "Now, if I ever hear you mispronounce "frontiers" again, I'll knock them out for you. Then we won't have a problem anymore."
