you ever scrolling on your dashboard reblogging posts then your eyes drift a touch and you think 'huh the past 5 posts were by this one person thats odd' immediately followed by the haunting realization you've just had their blog open the entire time and forgot about it and had been reblogging exclusively their posts for the past half an hour without noticing
everyday i think abt the differences between how superfam and batfam interact. And how it translates into their relationships with 3ach other
how clark is SO fucking lonely sometimes and how he keeps people at arms length and how most of the time like maybe 5 people know both his identities and . fucking. his BASE is called the fortress of SOLITUDE. Whereas the batcave, while still exclusively, is.. shared! Like Bruce is rude and mean and a lot of people in Canon do know his identity and it's like. So many thoughts
Like.. its about how deeply he wants to be normal and how he's afraid he'll hurt people and how that restraint and fear is baked into his very soul and it's about how much TRUST he has in someone to tell them his secret identity because he's spent his life hiding it and leading a double life that very very few people actually know about. Whereas almost fucking everyone in the batfam knows who batman is and it's like.
It's about how clark's so friendly and open and he uses that to keel people at arms length !!
Like people talk abt bruce being a loner but like. In Canon, he usually does work with people! He has an entire family of people who do vilgante stuff with him and keep in contact with him, for better or worse.
But Superman usually! Works alone! Like yes superfam is a thing but they very rarely interact with each other and unlike batfam who are connected, through love or through malice, superfam is a group of people who are connected but don't really talk to each other all that much and they're all very repressed. They're just better at covering it up.
logically i know that dean stopped going out and hooking up with people so much in the later seasons because a) the writers didn't want to write that and b) dean was having a *nick nelson voice* proper full-on gay crisis. but like. it WOULD be funny if he really was trying to hook up with people but cas just kept cockblocking him in the most bizarre ways. extra points if cas showed up at the bar and flirted his way into having sex with dean's prospects in his place just so dean wouldn't. like dean leaves for a moment to get another beer or something and cas just materializes out of nowhere and is like I Would Like To Have Sexual Relations With You and because he looks Like That™ the women are like. Okay! Sure! and when dean gets back they're gone and he's too drunk to find someone else so he just goes back to the motel and falls asleep.
