Okay so I swear I have a reasonable explanation for this (*coughs* no I don't)

I actually thought up this ship around the same time I drew that one 'pencil bois' art I posted last year but recently I rewatched some various DC cartoon episodes of Plas (and Creeps) and now Im huffing the delusional fumes again 😭😭

They're just... silly guys... being silly.... and gay... (My ship ramblings of how I imagine them to be under the cut)

----

I see them as a slow burn romance where they start out as friends to best friends, and then Ryder realizes wow he has a crush on Plastic Man of all people and Creeper makes fun of him until he realizes he also has a crush on Plastic Man of all people LMAO and this all building from months of them hanging out both in patrols and just having movie nights or something XD

Ryder eventually accepts like damnit I guess I do like this weirdo so in the headspace he's basically constantly simping whenever they're around Plas. Creeps, having to be the one who's physically there, just internally makes fun of Ryder constantly because while he also likes Plas, he's not nearly as much of a sap about it LMAO There's probably some times where he gets sappy and flustered but they're few and far between compared to how Ryder is in their head.

On Plas' side, I imagine him to be extremely oblivious to how his best friend feels about him because: (a) Creeps actually doesn't really give any indication of it outside of the moments where he gets sappy and flustered, otherwise he just continues to be extremely... himself; and (b) He's also started to feel some sort of way (a very sappy way) towards his best friend and oh my god hahaha it would be so weird if he liked liked his best friend, the Creeper, and theres no way he'd like him back so anyways we're just bros being bros amirite (very much deep in denial city)

Their alter egos are still hidden from each other, so they have no idea who the other person is and I think only few people know who their real identities are (one of those people being Batman of course). Why? Because I think its more fun that way hehehe.... I have this subplot in my head of how Eel O' Brian and Jack Ryder keep bumping into each other at like normal places (like the grocers or the park) around Gotham until they get to the point of like 'its that guy again' LOL

Is it possibly OoC? Perhaps. Very likely, in fact. But, my creeps and plas are very much a mish mash of different iterations and full of my own headcanons anyways so they're basically just my dollies at this point LMAO If you read into the end, thank you so much. Im kind of obsessed with these guys XDD Feel free to get in my ask box if you have any questions LOL

Love that Stephen is like “Me? Fond of Jack????? Perhaps…” like he wasn’t calling Jack “dear joy” 10 pages ago

Hello! I started following you for Le Guin reasons but have been entertained by your Aubreyadposting lately. I recently was listening to a podcast called Between the Covers where Ursula K. Le Guin was interviewed about her writing book Steering the Craft, and she says (at 46:45 if you want to give it a listen):

"Over and over, I want to send people to read Patrick O'Brien, his Sea Stories. People who are afraid of long sentences, people who don't know how to describe action... well, if you want to see how to write a sea battle, you go to O'Brien. He is an incredibly good action writer. What is he doing? Well, I don't really know, but he's certainly worth studying! Anyways, so, within genre you can find marvelous examples of writing."

Just thought you'd enjoy! :)

Aw yeah I love David Naimon’s pod! Le Guin also has another great quote about how she doesn’t love the marketing of books as ‘bestsellers’ but that there are books that become hugely popular because they’re genuinely and enduringly that good and she names Patrick O’Brian’s novels as an example.

I love that quote of hers about sentences. Semicolon enjoyer recognize semicolon enjoyer.

Fellas is it gay to know what you best friend and commanding officer says in his sleep when you, by rights, sleep in the surgeon’s berth and he in the captain’s quarters?

That one scene in The Far Side Of The World when Stephen is at the top of Gibraltar and sees Jack having a fit on board ship thru his telescope and is like “Hmm…wonder what he’s so upset about” and at the same time Jack is going “WHERE TF IS STEPHEN G*D DAMN HIS EYES” 🤣

I completely forgot about this but this is the very first Plas/Creeps art I ever drew (drawn last year) XDD

Apparently the caption I was thinking of when I drew it was 'when giving smooch too gay for your homies' LMAO

I’ve folded to the pressure (from myself) and started reading Master and Commander. I’ve never seen the movie or anything so I went into it blind, and it slapped me in the face by instantaneously being one of the most charming books I’ve ever read.

The first thing that happens in the book is Jack Aubrey, a naval officer, is enjoying a concert so much that he starts tapping along to the beat. Some random guy next to him tells him to shut up and they almost get into an altercation over it. The next day, Jack gets made a captain and he is so over the moon about it that when he runs into that guy on the street, he apologizes and takes him to lunch. They become best friends within maybe an hour, and Jack asks him to join his crew as their surgeon after having known him less time than it takes to cook a turkey. It’s incredible. Patrick O’Brian you are a gentleman and a scholar

#Jack: I’ve only had Stephen for two days but if anything happened to him I’d kill everyone on this ship and then myself #I also love how Jack is obviously a genius on a ship because he does all of these minute calculations out of instinct but he’s also #completely useless and languages and stuff #I love him so much and I’m only like 50 pages in #never mind that I don’t understand most of what he’s talking about because the nautical terms are nonsense to me #Stephen is suspicious but I like him too. So far #master and commander #the aubreyad #jack aubrey #stephen maturin #Patrick o’brian

Stephen: It must have been hard to see the woman you loved courting all those other men

Herapath: oh yes but I was able to deal with it. I started doing opium.

Stephen: In my experience—WHICH IS TO SAY from books OF COURSE—that’s not very good for you. It can cause dependence and lessen the appetites.

Herapath: Well I did eat less but I didn’t have any virility problems if that’s what you mean.

Stephen: (making desperate eye contact with Patrick O’Brian and doing the ‘get me out of here’ scuba gesture)

Edit:

@july-19th-club you got me there. He is most certainly doing the wrong sign.
