Bruce is just hanging out at Clark's place, and watches Clark as the alien busily fixes his sink. Bruce has definitely slept rough, travelled all over the place with minimal resources and trained in some of the worst conditions, but he's never had to do any of this.

Simple things like maintaining a flat, paying rent, arguing with a landlord, buying groceries, decorating a house, these aren't really a part of his life at all. When he catches Bruce staring, Clark defensively declares he likes making the repairs himself, and Bruce replies that he's just fascinated by all the components that make up Clark's life.

#I don't know if anyone has any remote interest in this quasi-domestic imagining #But I like the idea that Bruce has things he can relate to and things that have never been a part of his life at all #Bruce's time is such a precious and scarce resource that even for the fun of it he never bothers washing dishes or chiming in on decor #he just leaves that up to someone else entirely or lets it slide #and Clark is one of the only people around whom he's a little freed and who he has enough in common with to analyze their lives side by sid #superbat #clark kent #superman #batman #bruce wayne #random thoughts #i need sleep #dc comics

In the same spirit as the bottom of my "Comics!Clex Plot Connection?" post, here's another (sort of serious) Clex/SuperTie Translation:

Lex Luthor: "You and I could make a pretty lovin—I mean, great pair, I think. A wonderful not-couple. Don't you think? Pretty please say you do! We could save each other."

Superman: *Pretends to not have already made up his mind* "Listen Lex, I want to be able to hold you believe in you so badly...which is why I came here to ask you...if you would be...my partner in stopping crime?"

Lex Luthor: "...What...? Oh...! I thought you'd never ask! I mean—I knew you'd eventually come around to see things my way...my love."

#Clex #Superman #Clark Kent #Lex Luthor #That is one snazzy and fancy watch! #And you just KNOW that Clark probably made it all by himself #by hand #I wonder what precious metal it's made of #Notice how he felt the need to put his symbol on the box? #Like how Lex puts his initials on everything?! #They have SO MUCH in common! #And are only just now realizing it! #That or this is a delicious case of role reversal. #I hope Lex calls him Clark again #Or at least by his Kryptonian name Kal-El #SuperTie #Gonna try to make that pairing tag a thing

ch. 8 of "investigating lois lane" talks about the period of months following superman's death and it's making me want to entertain a story where superman stayed dead, just the same way I often think about that re: batman in the late 00s era.

#me: people saying it'd objectively better if jason remained dead it's such a tired take #also me: #(and i'm right. btw. superman and batman are a whole other thing) #(and jason's death was never about him) #(and yeah obviously it could never happen in mainstream comics that's fine) #(but elseworld writers AND fic writers should get a little more irreverent about it. just saying) #anyway yeah i need to read all of that for her #talking to the void #my thoughts #dc thoughts #dc #dc comics #investigating lois lane #investigating lois lane: the turbulent history of the daily planet's ace reporter #lois lane #superman #clark kent #bruce wayne #batman

Silly little personal headcanons for Sandmanverse I thought I'd throw out here for any other lovers of early 20th century Weird Fiction.

Clark Ashton Smith totally got fairy-godfathered by Dream as a baby, and totally wandered around the Dreaming proper as a kid, and that's why he's got so many fantastic poems about the Land of Dreams and its ruler, and also why his health and creativity took a steep dive around the time Dream was captured.

His creative drive starts to come back when he makes friends with Lovecraft, who also managed to get into the Dreaming proper as a kid (inspiring his Dream Cycle)

#i know all the discourse about Lovecraft and yes the man had So Many Problems #but darn it #i really like the Dream Cycle #im probably the only person who likes it more then the Chthulu mythos #like eldritch aliens yeah whatever its just a big space Octopus when it comes down to it #give me that parallel dream realm #anyway go check out Smith's Castle of Dreams and some of his other dream poems #clark ashton smith #dream of the endless #the sandman #hp lovecraft #the dream cycle #weird fiction #sandman crossover #i need more Dream as Patron things darn it xD

Lotd have mer y ADC looks so good with her new selfie. And she’s posting flowers as usual 🥹

And wearing a white shirt. I'll say this, you can't accuse the girl of not staying consistently on brand 🥴

I will say also, she's never escaping the Victoria Pedretti doppleganger allegations any time soon (although I guess it'd be the other way around since she's older. Whatever) Anyway they neeeeeeed to play sisters at some point cuz what the actual fuck are we doing here like what is the point of all this if that never happens

#anon #I'm sorry in advance but that last one gives me overwhelming AWTR vibes #Lexa's not much of a selfie taker by nature. she just doesn't see the point. “I know what I look like already Clarke- #i don't need to thousand pictures to remind myself. i bet I could even pick myself out of a lineup. no help needed“ #cuz she's also a little smartass ya see #but this feels like such a AWTR Lexa thing to do #to have this little disposable camera that she takes with her on their trips - their honeymoon. their rides along the coast. apple picking. #and she just... takes pictures. of anything she feels like. moments that obviously meant something to her #or that's what Clarke assumes when she finds the thing tucked away in Lexa's bedside drawer when she finally packs up to move #2 days before she's heading to the other side of the country and she finds herself sitting on the edge of Lexa's bed holding this gd camera #that she's completely forgotten existed #an hour of trying not to throw up just touching it - an hour of driving to the nearest pharmacy that still prints these damn things - #and a day of waiting for the roll to get developed is enough to have Clarke walking around like the equivalent to an exposed nerve ending #the first half of the roll just makes her smile cuz it's exactly what she expected #pictures of leaves. bumper stickers she saw. shots of the ocean at sunset. a weird rock Clarke distinctly remembers Lexa calling ~majestic #too many shots of Clarke doing mundane things that Lexa apparently thought needed capturing #and then like a suckerpunch to the face... there's this #a shot that Clarke knows without knowing that Lexa took to finish out the roll #probably snapped in a moment of Lexa's little way of saying 'hi :)' #but all it feels like in her hands one last goodbye... #wow this got away from me #my bad #AWTR

#clexa #clexaedit #yea im tagging those #i spent way too much time rotating the words on those screenshots lmao #believe it or not the way they are rotated and what direction the uh quotes leaning in and so on all have a meaning #cause im unwell #like on the last space pic the 'i belong' is in the exact middle of it cause um well meeting of the sky and earth on the horizon? #i said theres meaning i didnt say its coherent #the first carry me home leans down cause clarke needs to fall down to the ground to find hers <3 #then on the ground those two pics its straight line in the middle cause again. horizon #the last one is both just how the entire song feels like it loops on itself constantly #plus im thinking clarke was circling earth in the ark and theres no end to a circle and also! its them in a little bubble #coherence left the chat sorry i cant words right now #also i liked how those space parts are very dark and so are those first parts with lexa like a familiarity #(and cause they understand each other's darkest experiences) #but then the last one is a brand new color palette just engulfed in the gold #again target audience me myself and i #i wanted to make a fanvid out of this but my laptop hates me #anyways the 'to where i belong' needed to be on the clarke drawing pics cause im presently unwell abt that #she covers her cell in the ark in drawings of earth!!!!!! and the first thing she draws on earth!!!!!! is lexa #things i should have processed in 2016 but didn't etc

recently read an incomplete fic with injustice! Superman and arkham city! Batman after the joker venom got to him and that's definitely two people I never even thought of interacting with each other, and now lives in my head rent free. Like, I've read great stories with injustice and earth 1, but holy shit injustice and arkham knight?? jksdkjdsk the many parallels between injustice! Superman and arkham! Batman, and yet how their paths differed, my worm brain is obsessed. Just think about it:

A Superman who got tricked by the Joker by inhaling kryptonite infused fear toxin and ended up killing Lois, whose death then destroyed Metropolis. A Superman who then proceeded to kill off the Joker and began eliminating crime by creating a world of his own vision using force.

A Superman who let the Joker's influence rule his every action even after his death. A Superman who stopped being Clark Kent and became the ruthless tyrant Kal-El of the Regime. A Superman who kills anyone who's against him or gets in his way, in the name of protecting peace on earth.

vs

A Batman who got infected by the Joker and slowly lost his grip on reality as he went through a fear toxin riddled Gotham City. A Batman who despite everything, refused to kill to the very end, trying his best to save everyone, including the Joker.

A Batman who managed to defeat the Joker's influence in the end and locked him up. A Batman who also killed off Bruce Wayne like Superman did Clark Kent, but unlike Kal, Batman receded to the shadows, to once again become a myth, a nightmare. A Batman who now utilizes fear toxin to subdue criminals.

Admittedly the last bit is kind of a conjecture based off the ending of Arkham City, but seeing a fear toxin wielding Batman vs a Superman who knows so intimately what fear toxin can do sounds so so interesting. Especially since apparently injustice! Bruce used it on Zod after he killed Tim, but said he would never use it against Kal after what he had done under its influence.

Of course, they also have some major differences, Bruce never killed his family, even if for a good second he thought bringing Barbara into his crusade was the reason she died (except that was a hallucination thank god). He never destroyed Gotham, he helped make the city better, and continues to do so. Kal-El killed Lois and their unborn child with his bare hands, and right after Metropolis got nuked.

I can only imagine Kal-El's jealousy that despite their similarities, Bruce essentially still had everything, all his loved ones and his city. Also his confusion and rage when he learns that Bruce still tried to save the Joker even after the Joker had caused him so much grief and suffering. He just can't understand how Bruce could keep his no killing rule even after basically spiraling into the Joker's madness. He has so many whys he doesn't even know where to begin.

And if arkham! Batman manages to also interact with injustice! Batman somehow ohohoho that's also so many possibilities with that considering again that arkham! Batman still has all his children alive and thriving while injustice! Bruce very much does not. Among other things of course, but that's definitely a big one. The other big thing being of course the Joker infection thing.

I sadly don't know enough about injustice to see how the rest of the Regime or Insurgency would react to arkham! Batman but man I would love to see their reactions to a Batman who might have a few screws loose, still doesn't kill, and is even scarier than ever with his fear toxin and he himself with an absolute lack of fear.

#hnnnnnn im making myself mentally ill over these two #like screaming crying throwing up i absolutely need to see more of it #all the brain worms #i'll be honest i'm not incredibly familiar with injustice or arkhamverse i spent like 2 hrs just reading and watching material on the two #and that's no where near enough to fully understand what's going on #otherwise i'd write this myself #injustice gods among us #batman arkham games #arkhamverse #arkham city #batman #bruce wayne #superman #clark kent #justice league #fic idea #superbat #kind of anyway though i could totally see this as a platonic thing too

that postal movie is so inconsistently ok

#i watched the last like. ten minutes of it cos i know most of the boobie is done by then its just like. blood n guns whatever #and like. i almost kinda get the vague impression of what they're trying to satirize #yknow? #and i still think the dude's monologue of just 'CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG' immediately being shot down is. im not gonna sit here and #cal it poignant but i GET it i think its funny and i think maybe you could argue theres something there about how arbitrarily willing human #are to just kill each other instead of trying to work things out #hence the ending #and i think maybe the stuff with the US nuking themselves to clense out the 'terrorists' would work better if they werent already like #literal villians in the film i feel like the satire is lost when you start punching down like that i think the whole point the movie was #'trying to make' about how nine eleven was jsut a tragedy and not some grand justification for our overseas .massacring. doesn't work so #well when you've also got to throw in a bunch of 'terrorists' as your set of bad guys. you know? #also i dont care chris coppola is really entertaining as richie i HATE THAT GUY #also i lost my mind when the IRS actually called him 'david clark' i was like OH SO THAT IS HIS ACTUAL NAME GET UP #postal dude and faith could have been fun if faith had been in the movie for more than two fucking scenes before. but WHATEVER #WE DONT HAVE TIME TO DEVELOP OUR CHARACTERS RELATIONSHIP WE NEED TO HAVE CUTAWAY VIOLENCE/BIGOTRY JOKE NUMBER 334835345 #consider the following

[obsessive-evie]

ok now i wanna know your favorite things to see in a fanfic

oh my goodness i love this questionnnn!!!

1) ok i am a SLUT for slow burn and tension idc if the oneshot ends up being 10k words it’s WORTH IT.

2) i also love more poetic kind of writing styles especially when used for simple things? like very vivid imagery or metaphors during smut or just dialogue. this is something i def try to incorporate but would love to work to add more of.

3) specific tropes i am a fan of: forced proximity, best friends little sister (or adjacent), denying feelings until they simply CANT anymore, there also aren’t enough making out fics like give them the tension then interrupt them after just kissing.

4) ok and then lastly i love when authors give their oc’s drive and passions and work outside of their love interest, even if it is a very romance heavy fic. like give your college girls a side job and a dream internship yk?

bonuses!

anything Kate. there are simply not enough ms martin fics. and i think it’s so cute when you can tell where the author is from based on spelling or specific vernacular like idk i find it so cute and i just love regional dialects.

#this was fun #caitlin clark #wcbb #kate martin #kate needs more appreciation #she’s so pretty #her freckles are my roman empire #i just love all authors #i’m an english nerd so the vernacular thing is so fun #but yes gimme that tension #make them WORK for it #i also love inner monologue it’s so funny #love u

vicki vale and deathstroke and task force x all set to be in at least one episode of my adventures with superman? one cannot help but wonder.......

#personal #listen i've said it before but i don't necessarily have a burning desire to see bruce in this show #this is clark's show and it needs to stand on its own two feet and i'm here for clark #and also lois and jimmy and the animation in general looks wonderful #but if bruce shows up for an episode i would not be opposed i'd actually be delighted #he doesn't even need to be batman just have bruce wayne show up cuz he owns the daily planet or smth #and then in the background there can be like 'oh yeah and that batman guy he's nuts' #this is all half joking tbf i'm sure it's just recognizable names and etc #but one of task force x's most famous characters is harley quinn #deathstroke is literally a titans/nightwing villain #and vicki vale is primarily a gotham reporter tied to the story mostly through bruce and her batman thing #peripheral batman (and batfam) wouldn't be the worst thing #but as i said: not something i'm hardcore gunning for. just smth i think would be neat. but not necessary. just neat.

[userlaylivia]

all the quotes from other people regarding bellarke make me sob like a baby! because if they were never supposed to happen what was the reason???!!!! we all know they were supposed to happen and be endgame they were building towards that until jroth was a pos who did a total 180 ugh "kill the hostage taker and his girlfriend." even diyoza who didn't know them or their relationship thought she was his girlfriend!! he had way more romantic moments with clarke than his actual gf lol sorry but I'll never ship becho their the only ship on the show I despised with a passion!

#I'll always be bitter over bellarke the end!! #sara rewatches the 100 #5x04 #bellarke #bellamy blake #clarke griffin #bellamy x clarke #otp: I can't lose you too #the 100 #literally everyone commented on their relationship lol #also all the quotes about love regarding them?? nobody will ever convince me that wasn't on purpose!! #anti becho #anti b*cho #to be safe lol #I'm going to stop making post about bellarke I swear because it just makes me angry!! #over how they were ruined I just needed to say those things I said today and the last couple posts lol #I'll go insane if I don't but yeah I'm just going to watch the show and try not to make posts lmao

[loverboybrightsideghost]

i wonder how martha and jonathan found out that clark doesn't need to eat to live. maybe one day they sent him on some all-day school field trip and he didn't pack lunch or something and then when he comes home they were like CLARK WHAT DID YOU EAT and he goes oh. nothing? and they just inspect every inch of him to see if there's anything wrong because HE HASN'T EATEN IN TEN HOURS YOU CAN'T BE OKAY AFTER THAT! and that's when clark realizes that hunger is a real thing people feel and that humans actually need food to live, it's not just a thing they like doing like it is for him.

#bluebird.txt #superman #have i mentioned i love clark kent #i also love his parents they are the GOATs of all time #anyways i will continue thinking about this #because of course as a baby martha and jonathan KNOW hes an alien but he looks human enough and he cries and he does things human babies do #so of COURSE they feed him because he's a BABY he needs food and they provide him with everything a human baby would need #and then one day he just doesn't eat anything but he's fine and his parents are like CLARK WHAT

[robocops-a-christ-allegory]

Ok last post. The magical girl transformation scene is the main reason I decided Im not watching the new superman cartoon unless friends of mine really really like it. The second reason is because I saw a screenshot of deathstroke and I cant take the way he looks in it.

#ALSO STILL CONVINCED THAT FUCKING CARTOON IS WHY THE PEACEMAKER MINISERIES IS #PRETENDING DEATHSTROKE IS BETTER THEN PEACEMAKER. IM CONVINCED. #But yeah ok its probably like 40% the transformation scene 60% young deathstroke. #actually like. 30% the scene 50% young deathstroke 20% that tweet from #somebody working on the show where they said they had to make Clark look either hot or cute in every scene. #Im not the target audience its not for me. #ok I should explain because I just assumed everyone would understand but now Im worried I sound mean I dont like the #MG transformation sequence thing because its like #theres enough superheroes that actually have that we dont need to give people that and its kind of like a cliche meme at this point #also Im one of those mean 'JUST GIVE THEM THE FUCKING COSTUME' guys I was like this about the moonknight show too #I dunno Ill see if any of my friends and/or mutuals really dig this cartoon otherwise Im ignoring it #unless peacemaker or a vigilante show up then Im watching all the episodes with them. #a vigilante that isnt greg.

🔥?

Send “🔥?” and my muse will admit whether they find your muse attractive or not. (with @kxllerblond!)

The demon's yellow eyes flicker up to meet Clark's-- and he seems genuinely taken by surprise that he'd cared what he thought in terms of attractiveness... Did he? Artemis blinks once, jawless skull tilting just slightly in a moment of consideration before he speaks. His confusion still evident in his tone, yet.. it all sort of melted away as he slips back into his usual relaxed demeanour-- unbothered, though admittedly curious. "You know I'm not one for thoughtless flattery..." he murmurs, "Nor do I understand why anyone would be concerned as to what I of all beings think." -- that part is said lightheartedly; he is well aware of his monstrous visage. And he of course did not judge anyone for being curious or otherwise. Truly... if anyone wished for a sincere answer to most any question, he was indeed a good person to ask it of. He, again, does not waste time on hollow flattery... So Clark can be assured it is genuine when he nods to him, offering a slight bow of his head. "... But yes." he says, "I do." '--have eyes', he almost says. But he figures the additional cheek was unnecessary. "You are good-looking yes, but more..." he hums in contemplation, hand splaying outward in gesture to him when he finds his words. "--you are charming, genuine, and a good businessman. These qualities in themselves are attractive."

The demon concludes his flurry of compliments by continuing the task at hand, offering some sort of relief from the weight of his attention. "That is merely my opinion, however."

#( asks ) #kxllerblond #👀 CLARK HEELLLOOO ????? hyujIJDGJDFJGFD U GOT SO MUCH OUT OF HIM WHAT #listen tho fr like artemis i think. he figures he doesnt need to tell clark these things for him to know them to be true about himself -- #which is! probably the source of his initial confusion!! bc clark seems so sure of himself and tbh he ? all in all just really respects him #so <:' ) he takes the time to offer a real answer jjgjgjfdg #also?? im playin these as if the muses themselves asked it but i cant see clark outwardly asking YHUJFDGJD BUT IF HE HAD #itd be the same answer yeah
