Sweetheart frequently has unheroic thoughts.

That's what she calls them to be a comfortable level of vague. These thought range vastly from weird little ponders to malicious wishes. Things her brain just conjures up while she dealing with reality.

She doesn't feel comfortable talking about these thoughts to anyone but her boyfriend and their best friends. And even then, certain thoughts are limited to just Bitterbat as he's the closest person she has and he comes from a rather fucked up background. He would never judge her and he keeps her grounded with reminding her that her thoughts aren't her.

Which is true, her bad thoughts aren't her.

The desires she has for Decking City to get destroyed are just products of her being drained from a long day of heroics, only to have another problem only she can deal with rear its ugly head.

The wishes she has to rampage through the city itself as one of the Strangers are just her wishing she could break some rules. Stress from staying within the lines and the desire to cross them.

She doesn't hate being a hero but one of her ever passing thoughts is that she is just forcing herself to be one. It's not true but it's a thought that pops up with all the negative opinions about her online. A 20-something year old magical girl obviously has to hate her job somewhat. Who could love being in such bright frilly clothing for long periods of the day? Constantly having a smile on her face as she faces the civilians of the city has to make her mouth sore. And GOD, all that pink has to be bad for the psyche.

Sweetheart loves being Charmed though. She doesn't regret her decision to keep going when all her teammates had retired. And the constant optimism can get a bit much sometimes but she truly does prefer it over all the pessimism littered about the internet.

She's good at filtering out her bad thoughts from her good ones. Her evil ones from the real ones.

Bitterbat helps tremendously with his "Devil on the shoulder" act. He always proposes some over the top stunt to her and she shoots him down immediately. Even when he pokes and pries and gives her puppy eyes, she stands her ground.

She reminds herself that if her bad thoughts were really her, she would have greenlit one of Bitterbat's more destructive schemes. Her lack of hesitation to tell him no is a sign she's really a good person.

But her bad thoughts continue to return. And she continues to fight them off. Either by distracting herself from them or by talking them out.

It's a common symptom of being a hero where one's mind is so focused on doing good deeds and being a good person that there's a pile up of all the nastier thoughts in one's head. It's why the Decking Defense Force has a free therapy program for its heroes.

It's one way to keep them mentally healthy as well as keep the city safe from anyone snapping.

When you have a city's main defense be the superpowered citizens within it, you have to make sure said citizens aren't on the path to becoming a threat. The force doesn't like to look at its mental health program like that as it was genuinely founded to keep its heroes healthy in a job that many have no one else to talk to about their problems due to having secret identities. But the program is a "two birds one stone" situation, whether anyone wants to say so or not.

Sweetheart frequently shares these thoughts she has during her sessions but only the parts unrelated to Bitterbat...at least in the romantic sense.

She can tell her therapist about her wishes for Bitterbat to win a fight for once and destroy the city. But she can't tell them about how much happier she'd be as his Queen or how much she'd love to destroy the city alongside him.

And she knows if she tells Bitterbat any of the latter, there would be no stopping him from finally going on that rampage he keeps hyping up and whisking her away to Umbra. She only feeds him bitesize pieces of the thought. She tells him being a queen would probably be nicer than being a hero. And how much fun he looks like he's having when he's busting up the streets. But she makes sure to keep them spaced out and as playful little jokes.

Sweetheart knows Bitterbat can read thoughts and emotions. She knows he knows how she truly feels. She knows he knows she's holding back on what she truly wants to say. But he knows that it'd be cheating to act just from filling in the blanks. He restrains himself to only act if she explicitly says her thoughts. The thoughts he has been explicitly reading.

It's a strange powerplay between them that neither really minds. A constant struggle between good and evil but shrunk down to their relationship. They're used to this struggle though as it makes life a bit more fun, knowing the other is the only thing holding them back.

I'm just sittin here like

Sorry if this was asked before but I'm curious...what was their 1st time like? Were they nervous? (I'm pretty sure Jack was) Is there a comic or fic we can read about it (or maybe one in the works)? Also, are they gonna be that intimate in comic? (sorry for being so nosy😅)

You all underestimate how much I enjoy talking about Jack and Nana.

They do get intimate in comic, though not as explicitly as Sweetheart and Bitterbat since I wanna keep Beanstalked relatively chill...at least compared to Glitter and Guilt.

Their first time ALSO occurs in comic as well so there's no oneshot or fic...well their canon first time I mean. I have a lot of ideas of how I want things to go and I might recycle some into some stuff for them later-WE'LL SEE! BUT their canonical first time definitely occurs during comic.

As for how it was for them both, it was very sweet. It wasn't blow your mind amazing...well honestly it was but not in the same way having sex with someone who is experienced or a sex god might blow your mind. Both Jack and Nana had no prior relationship experience when they had their first time together so they both had to learn as they went along.

And they learned a lot about the other.

It was an enjoyable experience for them both after they got past the initial nervousness. Jack predictably was very nervous and constantly checking in to make sure he wasn't doing anything Nana didn't like. Nana was also very nervous. On one hand, their first time together was a big step in their relationship as it took them awhile to even reach the kissing-on-the-lips phase and her to get used to being more hands on with someone else in general.

On the other hand...Nana isn't entirely human. She's part Lupine. And she didn't want to hurt her farm boy by getting too carried away and forgetting her strength, regardless of if they both are technically immortal. Accidentally crushing your partner to death or causing them to bleed out because you dug your claws in too deep into their back is def a mood killer.

Of course, Jack helped tremendously in comforting her as they went along so she wouldn't worry about hurting him. And he smothered her in a dozen "I love yous" and kisses while sneaking in a mutter of a "I'd die happy if I went out like this" which she definitely heard thanks to her keen hearing.

Jack still has the scars on his back from the experience, which he looks very fondly on. And Nana will forever see Jack's slayer mode eyes in a very different light compared to literally every other person in existence.

SO YEAH they both very much enjoyed their first time together.

A follow up

Sweetheart tried the good ol' "Snipe at my boyfriend from the window of an empty construction building" maneuver.

Keyword is "tried"

#my art #sweetheart #bitterbat #licorice #glitter and guilt #don't worry #she'll be fine #this was her desired outcome anyways #she is very good at actin' innocent--comes with the territory of being a magical girl

[rockybloo]

Sometimes Sweetheart, in an attempt to not fall to her own thirst, sticks to blasting at Bitterbat from afar so she can stay focused. She tries to stay subtle about it but the second Bitterbat notices, he makes it his goal to get closer.

MUCH closer.

#my art #bitterbat #glitter and guilt #i'm talkin' the kind of closer that ain't safe for tumblr...or work

[rockybloo]

Sweetheart and Bitterbat are very good at their "Hero vs Villain" act and have their battle banter down to a T.

The only downside of Bitterbat being such a good actor is that Sweetheart learns just how much she digs him when he's evil.

Bitterbat is a needy monster man who is only willing to play a villain if he gets equal parts lovin' from his heroine before he terrorizes the city.

#bitterbat #sweetheart #licorice #glitter and guilt #my art #this is what sweetheart has to deal with some days when she has to do hero work #bitterbat likes to battle her but he likes to kiss her more

[rockybloo]

I wanna draw more comic pages this year so here's one of Sweetheart helping Bitterbat with his literal touch starvation. She's actin' stern but she's just as down bad as him (and he knows it).

#sweetheart #bitterbat #licorice #glitter and guilt #my art #comic #don't worry-sweetheart likes when bitterbat gets handsy with her

There's some pros and cons to having a boyfriend who can sense your emotions regardless of the distance between you both.

I had planned on just sketching poses based off reference photos and I picked Bitterbat as a muse but...well it's Bitterbat so of course my hand winded up slipping.

Anyways, love writing this man as a villain who also just so happens to be in love with a hero. It scratches a wrinkle in my brain real good.

#bitterbat #my art #glitter and guilt #i used the pose archives these (very good twitter but it's also 18+ bc some poses are suggestive)

Local magical girl provokes her monstrous villain boyfriend during battle and faces the consequences of her actions that she totally was not expecting and hoping for.

Bitterbat is a *very* handsy monster man.

They both are a couple of freaks

I haven't drawn Amara and Ace (Sweetheart and Bitterbat's civilian identities) in a bit so I fixed that.

I'm lazy with BGs but imagine they're at some con or something (because villain merch is only allowed if fanmade)

Things I will never find old: Making jokes about just how oblivious Freebird is to the fact Sweetheart isn't into him and how clueless he is about just how much she's actually into Bitterbat.
