#you'd think if i could write this much as meta i COULD FINISH MY WIPS HOWEVER.

[blorb-el]

saw your post about the things you'd like to see in a superman story and now i'm curious about the nsfw version 👀 if you'd like to share ofc!

mmm. see I have tried not to nsfw on this blog but you know what. fuck it. if famous author vladimir nabokov wrote a horny superman poem and had the absolute temerity to make it good and then send it to the new yorker and ask them to publish it for money in 19fucking42... (x) then i can do whatever i want on my blog

anyway. some Concepts. this turned out as less fic ideas and more personal headcanons. LONG post since i mostly haven’t talked about this. all of these are Free Real Estate if anyone is inspired by them

Even more for nsfw headcanons than sfw, I am above all interested in what the author is interested in. like, choking does nothing for me in and of itself, but everyone was so dang enthusiastic about it that now i'm invested and would absolutely read That Fic

for nsfw headcanons I have two different headcanon versions of clark for any piece of dc media. (yes this is how my brain works. blorbo all the way down). one looks identical to or nearly identical to a human. usually a cis man, however trans man clark also very good. the other has genitals that cannot be mistaken for human, usually some kind of retractable system. plus or minus some good ol' tentacles depending on the vibe. I went a little more into this + the Kryptonian names for such parts here. most of my headcanons are for alien biology clark, but going into a fic I think of any alien biology as a bonus, I don't expect it (there are, after all, a whole bunch of canon panels that go He Looks Totally Human No Xeno Here Guys!!. Every time I see one of these I like to imagine that some poor sucker at DC has seen something they do not like in the alien biology tag on ao3.)

A Clark who looks human I think is fairly well adjusted, he's had sex, he knows what he likes and what he doesn’t even if he may have hangups about asking for it. A Clark pre-serious relationship that doesn't look human, I hc has either not had sex or has only ever had sex with his clothes on and without being touched himself, only giving (for some reason allstar gives me this vibe) (sidenote: i do not mean to imply that this is not a perfectly valid and fulfilling sex life for many people!). he does genuinely enjoy being a service top. he just would also like to be in a relationship with someone who he could trust with his identity...

then he meets Lori in college (lori lemaris, for the uninitiated, is precrisis superman’s hot mermaid college gf, which is a sentence that rules. she should come back in a comic not written by frank fucking m*ller). alien4mermaid. for the first time he’s in a relationship with someone who not only knows that he’s not human but is not human herself. When she has to return to Atlantis it breaks his heart (canon). this ties into my Ideal Superman Timeline, where this is where he leaves college, at the end of his sophomore year, and scrapes together the rest of his degree with remote credits while traveling the world, learning what doing good looks like worldwide, and Finding HimselfTM. however this post is not about that.

that’s the background I usually have in the back of my little brain when I’m writing. Other stuff, mostly superbat but relevant to clois...

despite not having much experience he’s like. annoyingly good at pleasing his partner because 1. i said so 2. he is incredibly focused on their pleasure and 3. he’s got built in biofeedback receptors.

early on i think he absolutely ties himself in knots about wanting something, being allowed to want something, and feeling strange about judging himself for wanting something. the queer experience. man’s on three levels of overthinking. like, i think he enjoys the feeling of holding his partner’s arms down or thighs apart while he’s going down on them, feeling the muscles flex against his hands, knowing he has them pinned, but at the same time feels guilty about liking it.

ultimately he’s pretty vanilla himself, but since his partner’s pleasure is so important to him, he’s open to experiment and try things out.

Again early on, I think this backfires. There are certain things he is really uncomfortable with that i don’t think he’s aware of until they come up. He doesn’t like feeling examined or scrutinized, which I think would come up with Bruce early on in their relationship. Something about an old childhood fear of being looked at too closely. For the first few times, I think he’s more comfortable with the lights off.

dcau. bruce wants to try some sort of roleplay scene involving ropes/bondage and clark goes along with it because he can tell bruce likes it, but at the same time he’s lowkey getting triggered... clark’s very good at hiding stress, but bruce notices and pauses before it goes too far. clark just lies there still as a statue for a few seconds, says the safeword (’pearl’), and just as bruce is reaching out he’s bolted straight out through the window and up and away. bruce feels like garbage. clark feels like garbage. clark comes back once he’s ready, and because bruce doesn’t press for details, clark feels safe enough to choke out a few words explaining that it reminded him of what happened on apokolips with lashina. clark Gets Help. this fixes the ENTIRE dcau from that point on and neither of them die sad and alone in bapmanbeyond.

similarly i know it’s a fic trope but i don’t think he finds depowered/blue kryptonite sex inherently more enjoyable. in my headcanon he’s grown up with his powers - while they can be overwhelming at times, they’re also comforting, and the sudden silence is distracting. Also at any given time when he’s depowered there’s a little voice in his head going ‘what if an airplane has a jet engine failure right now. do you know how many people could die? and you’re doing this to get off? selfish.’ this is a statistical improbability, of course, but it’s bronze age canon he has anxious thoughts like this.

retractable dick very handy in such emergency circumstances. the annoying thing about sex with clark is that it’s very very good 92% of the time but 8% of the time they will be deep into it and then clark will freeze, do the damn head tilt and then WOOOOSH. and his partner can’t even feel bad about it because they’re adults and both understand that saving a life is more important than an orgasm. besides he will make it up to them thoroughly.

he gets WAY better at communicating about sex and desire eventually, but only really with his partner. i think at heart he’s a modest and reserved person, i don’t think he’s ever going to be joining in “locker room talk.” (however AU where he does is incredibly funny)

("praise... 'kink'??? what do you mean praise 'kink.' what do you MEAN. are you people not praising your partners??? ARE YOU NOT LETTING THEM KNOW HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE??? THAT'S - PEOPLE THINK OF PRAISE AS A KINK?????!!" - a man at the absolute end of his rope. facial expressions going through all five stages of grief.)

leaves hickeys on bruce’s neck, mostly because he wants to and he knows bruce is into it, but also knows the man’s got an inexhaustible supply of turtlenecks. he is aware of exactly where the turtlenecks end and does not leave hickeys higher than that. possessive streak, in a very considerate way, but still.

as he gets more secure and comfortable he loses the jealousy. possibly he enjoys the idea that bruce has so much experience and still chooses him.

if his partner says ‘do what you want with me, i’m all yours,’ i think 9/10 times it’s slow body worship and massage. sometimes not sex, sometimes it’s just too relaxing. it’s an indulgence for him to just be allowed to be slow and present. physical touch is a big love language and once he’s in a relationship he can freely give it, he loves to do just that.

the last 1/10 times is when he’s tired and stressed. he can and will pick up his partner and rail them into the mattress/against the wall/into thin air while floating. this is where the auxiliary tentacles come in handy. he gets them off though even if it’s supposed to be just about him for once, he feels too weird if he comes and his partner doesn’t.

on really really bad days his partner will pick up on how down he’s feeling and will uno reverse card and body worship him and it will make him cry a little

finally here are some panels that made me break out laughing. first off. he can tell just how hard he's getting. ah. impacted.

(action 423) imagine he's the one getting railed and it’s going Great and then all of a sudden he’s just like. “velocity - 4mph. impact pressure - 15ppi.” in his best Broadcaster Anchorman Voice. i think this would be very funny. bruce would be into it lois would NOT, however it would make her crack up laughing, which is what he'd be going for, so everybody wins. he’s a doofus at times and sex is NOT excluded from that

(WF 104) vibrators don't work on him. very sad! however. with superspeed. he IS the vibrator. (supers :handshake: flashes). I don't think he'd be much for toys himself, I think there's something very satisfying to him about body-to-body contact, but if a partner requested them he's happy to indulge them.

Everything but the one above, really.

Not to my face (much appreciated)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Worldbuilding and like...what someone's outfit looks like, what the room looks like. Details.

New Girl (not as RHM)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I think I always come back to two: You Always Know What to Say, which I wrote to see if I could before I started dabbling in HP fanfic, and then ended up tweaking a bit to fit a LDWS prompt. And then Let's Workshop This; I enjoy the meta aspect of Draco and Hermione cowriting some smut together.

4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 18 !! (all the questions are so interesting + I'd love to hear your responses, but if this is too much please just choose whichever ones you'd like to answer <3)

ohh my god thank u sm for these questions holy shit HDKDHSJ under a readmore cause its sorta long

[ meta asks for writers ]

4. share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like).

ok here r the ones ive managed to find first <3 from a drabble i posted on my sb:

and sometimes, when he’s forced to attend an onerous meeting or you’re staying a little longer for your shift, he wishes he could crawl into the spaces between your ribs and rest there. he imagines what it’d be like to sit at the front of your chest, to listen to your heart’s rhythmic beating night and day and never part from it. to watch the organ pulse, evidence of your livelihood, of your existence, and guard it from any harm that may attempt to reach you. he wants to look after it even after its gone silent, longs to curve around the still object and prevent the earth from eating up the leftover flesh and muscles.

from a touya wip:

he’s more accustomed to the destructive fire that bursts forth from the tips of his fingers than he is to the merciful frigidity that your touch taints him with.

and from another wip <3

he touched you like your skin was an old religion and kissed you like your lips were the first words of a holy book

7. what do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? would others agree?

i think my writing relies heavily on descriptions!! emotions, setting, actions, etc. i use a lot of imagery and metaphors which i think makes my writing seem very "flowery" at times lol i also have a tendency of over describing things (as told by my profs and classmates) </3

8. is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?

uhh not really hdndgdj most of my drabbles/fics focus on a specific moment in time and theyre p short, and i mainly read long plot driven stuff. genre wise i think i write a lot of fluff but i actually don't often read it lol

9. are you more of a drabble or a longfic kind of writer? pantser or plotter? do you wish you were the other?

i had to look up what a pantser was LMAO and yeah definitely a pantser. i cant write long fic to save my life and i am so insanely jealous of people who can HSKSHDJBFHD desperately wish i had the attention span/focus/time/energy to write long fic </3 i have so many ideas and no way to execute them 😞

10. how would you describe your writing process?

drink coffee, sit down and write until i finish something or get too tired to continue (since i tend to write at night). recently ive also started to change up my location when it comes to writing to decrease my distraction levels and its been working p well i think

11. what do you envy in other writers?

as mentioned earlier, people who can write long fic i want to pick ur brain apart and eat it for dinner. please share your ability i am forlorn and desperate

18. do any of your stories have alternative versions? (plotlines that you abandoned, AUs of your own work, different characterisations?) tell us about them.

um . i dont write plotted stuff so i had to think... so fucking hard for this lmao but for my kazutora fic i was gonna actually make them get together (the vulnerability that comes w being together in the AMs and all that) but i scrapped it cause i thought there wouldnt be enough build up and made a promising ending instead :3

#THANK U SM FOR SENDING THESE IN!!! #i had fun answering them AHHH #i love u sm i hope ur weekend was good baby <3333 #a.answers #[ ♡ ] — mutuals #—winter! #a.plays
