Bruce Wayne, drunk and full on Brucie mood in the middle of a gala: You know, that accent doesn’t really fit in around here. It’s cute. Where are you from?

Clark, internally debating every life choice that led him to this moment: I’m from Smallville. Kansas.

Bruce, leaning closer to Clark with a flirty smile: Oh you’re cute and funny. You know, I like that in a man.

Clark, very confused but trying to just go along with it: Thank you??

Bruce: I mean, everyone knows that Kansas isn’t real but I do always enjoy a good laugh.

Clark: What.

Bruce: What? Everyone knows that Kansas was made up for Wizard of Oz.

Clark, unsure if Bruce is fucking with him or if he’s just really deep into this dumb act: Bruce, Kansas is a real place. It’s one of the 50 states that make up America.

Bruce, tilting his head a little confused: There’s 50 states? Since when?

girl help the beautiful man at the food truck flirted with me and shook my hand with his big gorgeous hand and held on a little longer than he needed to (but in a good way) and then he gave me a free mango lassi and THEN left his food truck unattended to go get me a bottle of water after i asked if there was any water available and after all that all he wants in exchange (other than payment for the food i ordered) is for me to rate him on google maps. but girl i don't even know how to do that

#how hard can that be you may ask. well for your information he told me my smile is beautiful and he was very sweet AND #he has a gorgeous beard and voice. so. kind of distracted at the moment. #this is nice. lately the attention i've been getting from strange men is like. a guy on the bus offering me his half-eaten ice cream tube #(didn't even know ice cream came in tubes) and a guy propositioning me for $5 while i was waiting to cross the street #so for a man to give me free things & hold my hand & ask how i am doing WHILE being handsome at me was a little much all at once #i was so overwhelmed i made such a fool of myself. i almost gave him MY ADDRESS???? #get yourself together @me #anyway i guess i have to figure out how to rate places on google maps now. i didn't even know that was a thing people did #my posts #even though i know how flirting with customers works when you work in food service it does not make it any less overwhelming #to be on the receiving end of. i used to flirt with customers all the time. but i am not drop dead gorgeous so. #watch where you point that smile sir i am going to expire

thinking about how the one time eliot masterminds something, it's because the circumstances are dire and we don't actually see it happen; how he says he plays chess and nate believes him but we don't ever see it or hear about it again; how we don't even see his most basic fighting skills until they're needed and he has to drop the cerebral and nonthreatening grift he was using in front of the team. and I don't know what to think except that in some ways he's just as secretive as parker is, we just don't see it because on top of that he's this very believable gruff-but-sorta-amiable person who meets up with his vet buddies and goes on dates and cooks for his team.

#not heading anywhere particular with this just. #with parker we see the warehouse and the multiple addresses and it's all shown to us in a way to draw attention to her caution #and how much she trusts the team regardless by letting sophie figure out the combination #and we have to assume that eliot has safehouses too but the show never even flirts with the idea of showing us. #he's secretive in a way the story allows and glosses over. #the difference between him and parker is that he pretends hard to be normal and she either can't or doesn't. #once again reminded of the ship dynamic 'there is something wrong with you that is also wrong with me.' #like. I sort of love that we don't see eliot's discussion of the kidnapping. what he figured out and how they'll handle it etc. #because just like in the pilot it's including the viewers in his grift #and this time it's the grift he resorts to most around people who know his job #the one that says he's violent and simple and not especially bright. the one that leads people to underestimate him. #power negativity applied in the best way for a hitter's career. #it's a grift we see multiple times and we're only barely shown the edges of it. #I would still kind of love to see more. because once again #it is fascinating to me that you can watch the entire damn show and still believe the grift of it. #eliot #leverage #hi I've been ignoring tumblr to get writing done and I keep having thoughts. it's terrible.

i always see so much of Nico ships where either Nico is the one pining or the focus is almost completely on Nico pining and i feel like we’re missing a lot of opportunity here. Where’s the inverse? Where’s the POVs from [other character(s) of ship] of them falling hard for Nico and just absolutely losing their mind pining over him because he’s so impossible to read that they can’t tell at all if he likes them back or not. Them doing some complicated social dance cause they cannot for the LIFE of them figure out Nico but they’re trying so hard until they finally just tell him outright and find out Nico has liked them back this entire time and they lose their mind just a little bit more. WHERE IS IT.

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #shipping #examples: one of my favorite headcanons is that Will got a crush on Nico the first time he saw him during the Titan War #when he brought reinforcements n stuff. cause yknow. the dude showed up in thematic armor with three gods and parted an army #and then ensues like a whole year of poor Will helplessly pining over him but a.) Nico is never around and b.) Nico is barely aware of him #ergo why Will is acting Like That in BoO cause he's BEEN TRYING SO HARD TO GET NICO TO NOTICE HIM #on-and-off for a WHOLE YEAR #and he is DETERMINED to at least be Nico's friend by the end of the summer #just so that he can stop losing his mind over it #secondary example: i write a lot of pre-HoO Jason stuff and i really love the potential dynamics between him and Nico then #with Nico being this rogue who randomly shows up #and Jason keeps getting flustered by this guy who doesn't seem to care who he is at all. which is part of the reason for getting flustered #cause Nico keeps treating him as an equal! which is kind of a big deal for Jason #and at the same time they're doing this diplomatic dance and the two of them are just being SO overly formal #because they're both like that. so it just sounds like theyre flirting like Victorians #and poor Jason is so distressed post-HoO when he realizes he'd forgotten all of that. and now he has to START OVER #and Nico is NICO so of course it's impossible for Jason to gauge exactly where they stand #etc etc those are my two most detailed examples

Sorry for all the Saiki k poses but it’s like all I’m thinking about rn

Mikoto being his soul mate but like they’re actually just like. Platonic soulmates and forever close and he calls her aiura no suffix and hhhhhhh. Like them being together but Saiki asexual and aiura just loves him and they’re best friends and I’m just like having emotions over them lately. Like he felt close and became friends easily. One of those marry ur best friend but like it’s like idk. Not even romantic but if you kinda can’t see yourself as spending the rest of your life with anyone else.

#idk how to explain it #but I’m worried ppl will think I like ship them romantically/sexually #and in my mind Saiki is ace/aro but does feel love and care for her #and like she’s someone he’s safe with and trusts completely #he has a hard time trusting and expressing himself #but like when he literally gets abducted and then threatens and terrifies the loan sharks and she’s like :) #and she’s like #loves flirting and teasing but I don’t think she’d ever do anything too far to make him like feel truly uncomfortable #and Saiki KNOWS THIS #and I’m just not ok #kusuo saiki #saiki kusuo no ψ nan #the disasterous life of saiki k #saiki k fanart #saiki kusuo #aiura mikoto #mikoto aiura #saiki x mikoto #fanart

#and ill talk about it at Length in the tags until tumblr cuts me off like a rowdy drunk after last call #please keep in mind this is all in my Brain and relationship dynamics etc are all technically speculation. anyway #so while franklydear is your more classic 'oh no im in love with him! / aw shucks im in love with him<3' #laughingstock is 'feelings what feelings / oh shit oh fuck this is bad' #to Me. #in my mind howdy is completely oblivious to his emotions #he's out here like 'gotta get the store impressively neat & shiny for barnaby! and everyone else' without blinking an eye #he starts assembling barnaby and wally's dogs slower an slower so that barnaby has to hang around a smidge longer than usual #he's out here giggling at barnaby's jokes while sweeping Hours or Days after the joke was told like a lovesick idiot #all while being like Ah Yes Barnaby My Dear Friend.

DILUC AND 8 (their pet peeves) -- @milkstore

[Character Analysis Ask Meme]

What are Diluc’s pet peeves?

Lack of respect for service workers - Some may find it surprising seeing how rude Diluc is to the Knights of Favonius, but it’s true. Growing up on the winery, Diluc has seen firsthand the amount of work that goes into making wine and caring for the mansion. He understands the pride his workers put into their jobs. Not to mention his father raised him, not only to respect those under him, but to protect them as well. Is it really surprising then that he does not stand for those who harass his workers? To him, they’re the scum of the earth.

#genshin impact #genshin x reader #diluc #diluc x reader #my writing #character analysis #i realize now that the question is plural but i only include one whoops #oddly enough although i think we may have talked about this before but i think wanderer shares the same trait #though i think this is a trait most people know it’s still one of my favorite #i think kaeya mentions in his hangout that like… #one time diluc thought that someone was harassing the maids so he ran out with his claymore in hand to beat them up LOL #that being said diluc and pet peeves are hard because imo…… he doesn’t seem like the type that’d get irritated very easily #that is to say….. with very unique things #inefficiency irritates him… injustice frustrates him… but pass that? #*past #i don’t really think a lot of things bother him haha #oh! maybe people trying to flirt with him for his money would… but most would feel that way in his shoes #oh and also people that binge drink on the regular would annoy him too #but other than that imo he’s p chill. just has a mean rbf #it’s hard bc we usually think of diluc in the presence of kaeya but when you separate the two like… #he doesn’t have much to be bothered over imo #maybe i’m wrong but i just see him as an awkward but kind person #thank you for sending in a diluc ask tho like he’s so mid but i still love him <3 #but with this i am caught up on all my asks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #now to actually write HAHA

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

i remember someone asking you for the second years favorite out of itafushikugi but who do you think the trio’s favorite senpais are?

& who do you think the adults (nanami gojo shoko yaga) favorite students are?

I'm assuming we're talking about the sea glass gardens universe for this and not canon.

Megumi: Yuuta. No competition. I'm pretty sure this is straight up canon with his comment that Yuuta was the only one of his senpais that he actually respected. He and Yuuta have a special relationship, even if Megumi isn't aware of his Boyhood.

Barring Yuuta, Maki would be his favorite. They have identical bitch instincts and are always on the same wavelength. They wander the world as these beautiful judgmental assholes and it's their ideal existences. Soul siblings.

I see Maki as sort of slowly growing into her place as Megumi's family. At the start, neither of them were exactly looking to forge blood family ties, what with their history, but I think they both understand what it's like to have the Zenin lurking on your periphery in a way no one else does. They look out for each other.

Nobara: Maki. I also can't debate canon on this one. Nobara simply adores Maki. And has a crush on her the size of Jupiter. She doesn't know Yuuta and has sworn revenge on him for winning the last Goodwill event, so Yuuta's out of the running, and Panda and Inumaki are her constant torments.

Still, were it not for her appreciation for Maki as her senpai (re: rampant Homosexual Desire), I think Panda would be her favorite. They have identical asshole instincts, not that Nobara would ever admit it. Remember them teaming up during the Goodwill event? Nobara secretly has a soft spot for Panda, except for all the moments where she wants to beat him with a hammer.

Yuuji: I think it's actually Inumaki. Maki and him get on great because they both can compete athletically, but Maki's disposition is more suited to Megumi. She's harder for him to connect with for him on a personality level. Inumaki's also very athletically inclined, and I see them becoming jogging buddies now that Yuuta's in Africa.

I see Inumaki looking out for him a little when he first arrived, the way he did for Yuuta. Yuuji's not the sort to be phased by the difficulty communicating, and I think he respects the hell out of Inumaki as a jujutsu sorcerer.

If we count the Kyoto students in this, his favorite is Todo, but that may or may not be Stockholm Syndrome. He. He got swept up in it. It happened so fast. He doesn't know how this happened or if he's allowed to leave. It kind of scares him.

Yuuta is not even in the running for Yuuji's favorite. The thought of Yuuta torments him. He's just all sparkling and perfect in Africa, what with his curse-free existence and unstoppable power and having Megumi as his boy and what not. Just. Fuck off.

Adults

Nanami: He has no favorites. He cannot play favorites. He has raised one of these children, as adopted another, and has played a very large role in teaching a third. It would be wrong to select favorites out of them.

But also it's Yuuji.

It's not that he actually likes Yuuji better than Megumi or Yuuta or any of the others; it's more that Yuuji's his student. Megumi's practically a son to him, but Gojo was the one who took the lead on raising him and training him. And while he will always do his best to support Yuuta, by the time he met Yuuta, Gojo had already become the sort of adult pillar of support in his life.

Yuuji's the one he took the lead on training. He was there when Yuuji first had someone die, first had to kill. And Yuuji reminds him so much of Haibara that it hurts sometimes. He has a soft spot for him.

Gojo: Gojo will play favorites. It's Megumi.

Sue him. His kid is his favorite. That's his little boy. He watched him grow up from the angriest first grader he ever met to the angriest high schooler he ever met. He's always gonna have a bit of a soft spot for his Megs.

If he couldn't pick Megumi, it would be Yuuta.

Again, sue him for playing favorites, but Yuuta's someone he's just endlessly proud of. He watched Yuuta go from being curled up on the floor of an execution chamber to being the most promising sorcerer of the modern age. Yuuta really gives him hope for the future and the next generation. He just adores the kid.

Shoko: If we're talking sea glass gardens, I think Megumi would win by default just because she has less face time with the kids and Megumi is the one she helped raise. She's his wine aunt. She's always gonna wanna pinch his cheeks and harass him about his hair. But if he's out of the running, it's Nobara. She reminds her of her at that age. Mostly in the fact that she's endlessly suffering from her two idiot best friends's mutual homosexuality. Shoko relates to Nobara on a spiritual level.

Yaga: Panda. That's his little boy. I'm pretty sure this is canon too--Maki explicitly states that the principal plays favorites with Panda in JJK0. He raised Panda and thinks of him as his own son. He adores the kid.

If Panda's out of the running, it's Megumi.

This is also because he remembers when Megumi was a little kid. He didn't help raise Megumi the way the rest of them did--he got cut out after the Zenin incident--but he remembers before, when he was trusted with Megumi. A part of him is always going to remember Megumi as the quiet little boy who used to hide under his desk to read.

I also just see him as keeping more distance from the kids. he's not as actively involved in their teaching. it's partially an act of self protection to have distance--a lot of kids don't make it to graduation. So his favorites are going to be the one he spent the most time with--namely panda and Megumi, just by pure default.

#sea glass gardens #megumi sort of swept the competition but in his defense it's hard to beat being their literal child #he's had more /time/ to endear himself to them #he was the village baby okay #megumi's trapped in a nightmare #you know when you're in high school and you don't want anyone to know your dad's the english teacher #yeah so it's that but /the entire faculty/ #all of these people raised him #even with yaga it's a problem #yaga remembers him as the quiet little boy who used to hide under his desk #but /megumi/ remembers hiding under his fucking principal's desk as a little kid and falling asleep cuddling one of his stuffed animals #his fucking principal carried him to a couch and tucked him in for a nap in childhood #he's in agony. he's going to throw himself off the gym building. someone sedate him. he needs to scream into a pillow. #100% of the tokyo jujutsu high faculty has had some kind of hand in raising him. they all have seen him in his pajamas. they have all seen #him when he was sick or upset or when he hit puberty and his voice started cracking #the annoying teacher that drives everyone nuts is the guy that raised him. his legal guardian. the one that makes his life a living hell #whenever anyone flirts with him. /their teacher/ gave him The Talk and there were absolutely terrible jujutsu metaphors involved #gojo devastated that his little boy is grown up: *reading religiously off cue cards* make sure you and/or your partner /cast/ a /veil/ to #help protect from any /curses/ escaping #Megumi in hell: you can just say condoms #Gojo who will cry: i absolutely cannot #he's doing his level best to keep yuuji and nobara in the dark but /all/ of his senpais know that he's gojo satoru's little boy. it's like #having the fucking sword of damocles hanging over him. he knows one day they'll tell the others and he'll be in agony #just put him down like a sick dog at this point he cannot stand this

#no one’s gonna pick date but god that’d be a funny option #he’d be supportive but also would be so caught off guard and so uneducated on the topic he’d say just. the stupidest shit #and you KNOW kiryu would just say it out of the fucking blue. date would probably drop a glass or something behind the counter. whiplash #anyway honestly it’s always been hard for me to pick between haruka and daigo- haruka obviously is the number one most important person to #him and if he’s gonna be that vulnerable with anyone it’s most likely gonna be her #HOWEVER. if he (miraculously) picked up on daigo never having an interest in women and having at least one close male companion that was a #liiiiitttttle too close to be Just a companion #then daigo has an advantage because. i mean. it’d guarantee the person he’d admitting this too wouldn’t judge him for it #and would have- amusingly enough- more experience in the area than kiryu himself thus the possibility for advice/reassurance #which is such an interesting conceptual conversation that I started writing it. maybe one day I’ll finish it………. #I think the only way he’d come out ti majima first would be completely on accident / incidentally #like. getting drunk with him and laughing about whatever havin a good time and after a waitress or whoever hits on kiryu majima says like #‘you know- I’ve known you for like 30 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen you return the favor when a gal flirts with ya- so what kinda #gals ARE you into–‘ ‘I don’t think I’ve ever really been into any women. ………. ah.’ #anyway that’s just one thought #anyway have fun with this #kiryu #kazuma kiryu #yakuza #rambling #polls

[sleepdepravity]

I know I’ve been on this big blue planet for three decades at this point but conceptualizing social boundaries is hard what do I do when a guy I sort of know just messages me out of nowhere that he had a dream about me rocking a bikini

#like is that inappropriate or is it an instant block orrrrrrr #I know it really really depends on context and all that jazz #but also part of the context is I’m used to having a ‘eh whatever’ approach to things like this #and also having a ‘well whatever’ about things I shared about myself too #which. has not led to the greatest success for me. historically. #(thinking about the time one of my coworkers secretly used a picture of me as his phone wallpaper) #anyways. I also have to consider what flirting is and how much of that is appropriate too #maybe???? I dunno. I guess this could be flirting?? #honestly the flirting(?) isn’t the worst part though the worst part is that he’s not a great conversationalist #trying so hard to throw him a ball and he just doesn’t volley it back #personal malkylife

i am in suuuuuch a weird headspace rn, my brain is like. i want half a boyfriend i want a husband i want an easy carefree hookup i want to have sex with only one more person in my entire life i want to have a slut era i want someone to fall in love with me i want to ruin a man's life. who am i

#like okay i said that guy was messy and maybe i am messy too #but only internally! i can at least be consistent and honest in my communication and behavior #but idek what is going on with me #is this a belated quarter life crisis is this being thirty is this what happens when grad school and an internship scramble your brain #scramble your brain so hard that your emotions and physical desires also go haywire #this month is gonna be so weird for me and like i'm depressed enough to not care if i live or die which is when i do my best flirting #and i (theoretically) will have enough time off to take care of myself and get good sleep and do skincare and hair care and work out #and do all the little things to make myself feel more confident #anyway all i know is. i have baby steps initiated progress on some things. #but also the mutually agreed upon six-month post-breakup communication moratorium with my ex is almost up and i am half tempted to call him #i am also half tempted to mess with the OTHER guy in our internship cohort even though that would be THEE messy bitch move #(do not let me do it physically stop me from doing it if it seems like i'm going to) #(but y'know he's. nice. nearby. single. quietly hilarious and has full lips and a similar schedule to my own. pls stop me) #(we might hang out next week. i will not WILL NOT invite him over. i repeat do NOT let me invite him over) #earlier this week i talked to a close very cool and fun and social friend about wanting to start dating again and she was like #Oh i know like ten guys for you lemme have another party and invite all of them and you #and i'm thisclose to being like. actually just fucken see if any of them will go on a blind date with me next weekend. #what the FUCK is wrong with me rn #ANYWAY lemme go work out and finally start the vampire show #bc exercise will distract my body and that toxic relationship bullshit will put a damper on these desires right. right?? #starting to understand why so many religions are like watch out for sins of the flesh or whatever. like how they're like temptation is bad. #lizzo_boys.mp3

[royaletiquette]

What are Hibiya preferences when it comes to courting? How does he act whenever he sees someone he finds attractive?

Courting is extremely public and a really difficult thing to be subtle about. Especially with the fact that he had a somewhat dramatic falling out with his ex-fiancee (at least by a teenager's standards). He's somewhat known for being too involved with his work, and a little awkward outside of anything not work related, so he isn't exactly set up for success among the nobility.

Him trying to relax and hang out and be a normal fucking person can come off as disingenuous by accident. When he likes someone, he tries to use that boyish charm he does actually have, believe it or not. A smooth gentleman, but it's easy to know that it's part of the act to swoon, so its success varies. On top of that, this requires him to have a level of confidence at the time, which he doesn't always. But it isn't all lost if he doesn't because if forced to confront his crush, it just turns into an awkward charm that can work surprisingly well.

Having the self-confidence of a rock, with the unrealistic standards he holds for himself, Hibiya's just too protective of his image and ego to actively go after people he's attracted to. He prefers to be as slow as fucking possible, for as long as possible. Talking publicly at events, trying not to go off on private walks too often to be noticed in case it doesn't work out because then he'd be sad and embarrassed and who knows maybe he'll just die if that happens.

Moving towards seeing another outside of events and actually visiting, maybe having an actual date, he'll have to trust that they won't be a loudmouth about it, again, just in case it doesn't work. But, if they've lasted that long and got to that point, he might honestly have bigger than just a crush and start trying to swoon them into bed. This is when he truly shoots himself in the foot because he's waited so long to make a move that he's excited and willing to, but may come off as sudden and impulsive to the other person.

Given, if it's not someone ya know "business related" and a person he met in the city or organically what have you, he's a liiiiittle faster on the draw. He's being himself when they meet, not a prince, so he tries to stay at that casual level. Hibiya's maybe a little more forward, but still slow to see how they are. A gentleman with his flirting, seeing it's a safe bet that most people like, maybe a little teasing if they play back. He's still slow, just bolder with it because this person and their opinion of him doesn't matter as much compared to those at his events.

But this! Is why Hibiya has almost only ever been in a relationship with muses because he was forced to!! But also why he's so horribly awkward with them. Because for him, there were at least 6 public dances, 3 long and drown out conversations, 2 secret dates that they skipped over before being excepted to just relax and be himself around them. The moral of the story is if he has to make the moves, it's more likely that nothing is going to happen because he's a scared bitch. But if the other person pushes him along while respecting his boundaries, then maybe he'll actually get to sleep with someone again.

#ooooh this question enabled me HARD djaglk #i could go on adlfkjg #hibiya has never exactly HAD to flirt before #he suddenly wasn't engaged because he was working all the time and a maid their move on him #shit just kinda happens for him. why risk failure? #the King however will usually allow someone else to make the first move outside of playful banter #but that time it actually is too risky bc hello. married. #distopea #world building #headcanon

happy sinday the most accurate thing i've ever said abt william on this blog is "flirts like a dom, begs like a sub"

#—— ✧ ooc » #.tbd. #sinday #˖ ✧ n s f w » ( know how to hide it / kinda like it ) #guy who flirts like he's soooo in control & so cool & then you're a little mean to him & his knees hit the floor #i said one time that certain ppl telling him 'no' in a completely nonsexual way is enough to make him semi-hard & like— #everything is a challenge he has to win unless you're hot in which case he is losing on purpose hello #i just think his partners realizing HOW sub-leaning he is for the first time is SO funny #me when i had to keep saying 'i promise he IS a switch' at the start of this blog LMAO

GOD I MISS THATHSFDJKFS #walking around decathlon flirting oh it was SO STUPIDDD. THE GIGGLES. personally i've never really experienced that on that level before bc #like it's the best friends to lovers thing its the fact that we both felt the energy shift very clearly and were leaning into it #but not actually doing anything about it yet #just making stupid jokes flirting giggling but acting like actually nothing is going on #when i damn well know that if any of my friends saw us that afternoon they would've side eyed us SOOOOO HAARDDDDD #not to wax poetic over the guy who fucked me over so many times but. the electric energy ..... #i'm probably not going to feel That ever again #whatever! whatever #txt
