Canon comic Batman about Superman: you can't trust him, he wasn't born here, his loyalty will always be in doubt, he is not human. Superbat shippers: they arebsoulmates

i am gently holding your face with utmost sympathy. idk if this is you trying to start an argument but my friend, sweet anon, why on earth do you think Batman and Superman are called the World's Finest?

yeah some comics start them off not trusting each other, bc Batman sees all the possible ways things can go wrong. he doesn't know Clark as a person so he sees something similar to Luthor; an alien with god-like powers who could reduce the world to ash if he wanted to (right now I'm thinking of the New 52 Worlds Finest run where Bruce is much less trusting and Clark is much more bullheaded at first) so yeah Bruce sees a Potential Problem and treats Clark as such.

in the Doylist sense, Superman and Batman were two of the first published superheroes (the actual first was The Phantom) and even before they met in the comics, they were already being featured together in posters and splash pages. so they've always been something of a pair in media.

in the Watsonian sense, well. in the first two comic pages below, Superman literally says they compliment each other, they "fit each other like hand and glove." the rest are also incredible moments i happened to have saved on my phone, there's so many more i could show but i don't have the time so!

that last one is right after Batman "died" and Superman found his "corpse" (this is when Bruce was hit by an omega beam from Darkseid and sent on a chaotic trip through the time stream, but through various comic book science bullshit, there was a burnt-to-shit corpse wearing the Batsuit left behind and it was convincing enough to Superman). so yeah this is kinda proof that Superman can absolutely lose his shit, but it's because his best fucking friend died.

and for funsies, here's this one

soooooo yeah. they love each other. platonic, romantic, whatever. i say soulmates because it's a good term to describe them, because in both Doylist and Watsonian senses, they were always meant to be partners, to be two sides of the superhero coin, to be the goddamn World's Finest.

Mr fear au but it's Danny after a... "Session"(you know what I mean) and the aftermath of that. Do Jon do aftercare or not lol

He does! In his own way. Worst bedside manner ever, essentially; not a single gentle bone in his body, but he gets,,, better? Good thing Danny's rather.... uhhh, out of it most of the time anyway.

so have a little how it started vs. how its going :P (wall of nonsense incoming, hope you enjoy these two individuals who should stay far away from each other <3)

how it started

(tldr Danny meets Scarecrow officially by helping him escape Killer Croc, who would have otherwise ripped Jon's face off. Crane then dragged him home because interesting.)

Danny thinks he might could get used to this. Nothing hurts. And even that sort of thought, sort of awareness, is a slippery one to hold. That there's anything that could exist outside of this. This being. Ah. Hm. Something — He shakes his head just a little. Nothing hurts. Not the fingers in his hair, nor the suds dripping down past his eyes. Not the deep, raw bite marks up his arm, nor the. The.  Hm.  “This is nice,” he murmurs, eyes slivers against the bright overhead light, and it really just is.  Be quiet says the hands over his head. Be still says the comb ran through his hair. Hold your breath says the water that rushes up over his ears.  “That's a funny thing to say,” Danny chuckles once the world is present again. He sniffs, and then lolls his head back a little against something soft — the light glimmers through beads of water. “Real funny.” Absolutely filthy says the hands that bend out his arms, prod the creases of bruised elbow. You will need to be clean. Danny hums. “I'll have you know,” he replies, “I took a real shower two weeks ago. That's pretty good.” That. Gets everything tilted sideways. It doesn't hurt though, the hard grip on his hair, and it's only for a moment. Probably means something. Be quiet. “Okay, okay,” Danny relents, and kind of just. Ugh. Hands pull him back up from the water, and it does actually kinda hurt that time. It got in his nose. “Okay. H-Hold my breath. Got it.” Why did you help me? Don't you know who I am? Wrinkling his nose, Danny drops his head back fully this time. Glasses glint in the shadow of a thin face.  Mm. “‘Cos.” Danny smiles. Probably. “Strawman?” It's on the tip of his tongue. So, so close. God, who knew that getting fear gassed right in the face could make everything featherlight.  Worth getting bit by a real alligator man. Danny snorts, curling up, and the water sloshes over his knees. At least it's not itchy. Be still. “Where are my clothes?” he asks muzzily, but can't be bothered to really be worried about it. Trashed. You will be given more.  “That's nice.” Nothing hurts. “Hey… can I… y'know… You kinda promised...” Later.  Easier than chasing the news. Last time Danny was clear on the other side of the city and missed out. And ended up short another forty bucks for something so lackluster compared to whatever fear toxin actually is. What are you? A meta? “Mhm,” Danny lies, and closes his eyes at the continued rough drag of a washcloth over skin. If he wasn't so terribly high this would be — “You?” No.  “Huh.”

how its going

I couldn't exactly decide on the "how it's going" because none of this will probably actually show up in the actual fic really but. Here, two missing scenes, stolen moments, that are the gist if not 100% correct :9

and, really, im bad at lab rat stuff, but I see Jon sort of like... maintaining a clinical, scientific sort of mindset with Danny. Like a legit project, where he just... tweaks stuff, tests it on Danny, and then figures it will be so much WORSE on the average person based on the data he gets from Danny. Something like that anyway.

Danny never tells him he's a 'ghost' either, and he does have limits. It's all sort of ruined from the get out, but... yeah, lol.

so it's literally just Jon giving him fear toxin (gas, injections sometimes, etc) and watching for results. Some days are more professional then others though. *cough*

(Robbing banks is also not usually something Scarecrow does, but science requires money, and a jonesing Danny gets nosy and gets hit with the security ink lmao)

With a sigh, Danny braces his arms back over the rim of the metal tub. He's all too aware of the heat, the scalding sting of the hot water bearing down on the teasing weightlessness.  This variant is. Too slow for him to enjoy. Great for whatever the hell Jon has planned for it, but not. Exactly what Danny needs to chase away the biting gnaw of a deep set ache.  Danny drops his head back when the fingers in his hair fade away, squints up at a pinched frown. “Gonna give yourself more wrinkles doin’ that,” he teases, and Jon scowls, tugs hard on a handful of wet hair. “Ow.” The man leans in, glasses glinting in reflected light. “This is not going to come off easily,” he says, pressing hard at Danny’s stained jaw with one hand. “Why did you do that?” “Better me than one of the goons,” Danny says easily, and flexes one arm, just catches the edge of dyed skin in the corner of his eye. “They got places to be. I don't.” And it's not like he actually did it on purpose. He was just curious. Who gets to say they've seen thousands of dollars in cold hard cash before? Bank jobs aren't Jon's typical speed, but needs must, obviously. That gets an unamused sneer, and Jon bends closer. Breathes over Danny's lips Don't do that again and then licks into Danny's mouth. Obediently, he opens up to the brief, hard kiss, and doesn't fight when it's taken away with another forceful yank of his hair. “Y-Yeah alright,” Danny rasps, breathless, and closes his eyes against the rumble then spray of the shower head. 

or, how its going, again

Danny truly thought he could sink no lower, but life's full of surprises like that, he guesses — to break new ground when he'd thought he'd long since hit rock bottom. “That wasn't the deal, y'know,” he says softly, and for lack of a better alternative, presses the mouthpiece of the hose to his lips and takes a deep, slow inhale. The world goes a bit fuzzier, but not enough to chase away the gnawing guilt — Danny exhales a cloud of green, resigned. “Not that I have much of a choice.” Jon hums, low and unsurprised. “No, you rather don't, do you,” he returns, and stops typing for a moment, the click of keys falling silent above Danny. The man knocks a sharp knee into the side of his head. “How does this variant compare to last quarter's?” “Meh.” Crane brackets Danny in tighter with his legs, and he squirms, uncomfortable and too warm — which is the point. “C’mon, you only just gave me this like three hours ago.” That gets an aggravated sigh, but he bows out his knees, and Danny goes limp with a sigh of his own. Another intake, then the breath released over his head.  “Don't do that,” Jon snaps, “it fogs up my glasses.” Danny mumbles a mocking repeat of his words and carefully places aside the gas handle before shoving himself up and truly into the man’s lap. With a scowl, Jon leans around to one side, but Danny matches it, pressing closer, hands finding purchase on his thighs. It stretches the leads dotted across his body to the very limits of their length, the pulsing count of Danny's heartbeat jumping with a beep on the computer behind him.

anyway, they're gay your honor.

[gon-and-killuas-mother]

hiya!! what kinda batfam recs are tou looking for??

hello!! i will admit i am weak for whump and anything similar. i usually include "good parent Bruce Wayne" bc i need a soft Bruce ok he's so important to me, even if there are many things deeply wrong with him HE LOVES HIS KIDS!!!

i love fics that put the Bats through physical and emotional wringers, near death experiences etc etc only for them to wake up with Bruce and fam passed out at their bedside. if i was a psych major i'd want to research why the fuck whump is such a prominent genre of fic, something about experiencing tender care through fiction correlating with emotional neglect?? something???

i ALSO love fics about Bruce adopting them early for whatever reason. the time travel ones are a hoot and a half. my favorite one so far is Wants and Needs (Well, Mostly Wants) by Rhiw. a two-year-old Tim experiencing a young, gentle and doting Bruce has come very close to curing my depression, and it's still in progress so hell yeah. gimme more Bruce with babies, the man might be a CEO/vigilante but he's MEANT to be a dad goddammit

i'm also very into Clark/Bruce, and Clark/Diana/Bruce. both World's Finest and Trinity are excellent relationships (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

the only problem is that i'm running out of fics!! i knew this day would come, and although i'm still coming across new ones it's less and less frequent and i'm SAD about it. though maybe that also means i should spend less time reading fanfic... yeah

[the-boy-who-drank-the-stars]

also also hi would you like. a tag for when we interact

GASP YES OF COURSE

i'll make a tag for you too :3

[artist-issues]

what are your thoughts on the disney fairies book? the original one by Gail Levine? a lot of people are saying it's racist cause theirs so many white fairies in the book which is based off the original peter pan and losers say it should be more black fairies and honestly as a black girl myself i wish these people would shut up. tinker bell is white with blonde hair and blue eyes not black. the tinker bell movie did sooo bad people forgot about it already, and people made fun of it.

disny has been ruining things much to the point it's hard separating the book from the movie...what ate your thoughts on this?

I’ve never actually read the Disney fairy books, but I’d direct your attention to my friend @doverstar, she knows much more about those than I do.

I have seen all of the Disney Tinker Bell fairy series…if those are the movies you mean? I actually really love the first one and can find charming things about the sequels, too.

As far as the books or movies being racist because a lot of fairies are white, that is silly. Just because there is a majority of a certain skin color in a movie, that alone does not make the movie racist; it doesn actually say anything about races.

Because, for example: If you go to Togo, Africa, and take inspiration from a town there, and try to tell a story about that town, all of the people you’re getting inspiration from will be black. Therefore, your characters will all probably be black. It just makes sense. So why would a story about a specific corner of the Neverland world need to have every single possible color of human on Planet Earth represented? That wouldn’t even make any sense; and it’s not needed at all. People of all skin colors can relate to anything that is human-like, especially in fiction. So there’s no need for everybody to look like somebody.

As far as the original Tink goes, in J.M. Barrie’s play, she was just a light. Nobody could see what “skin color” she had, because she was just a light. Because the color of her skin doesn’t matter at all—it shouldn’t matter to white people, it shouldn’t matter to black people, it shouldn’t matter to anybody. Her race has nothing to do with who she is; she’s a fairy, and she’s supposed to be hot-tempered, glow, sacrifice herself for Peter who she loves, and fly. These are the traits that matter.

So in the books, the movies, the new movies—it doesn’t matter if her skin color is different. Ask yourself, “is she hot-tempered? Does she glow? Can she fly? Is she in love with Peter Pan? Would she sacrifice for her friends?” As long as those questions—and those questions alone—are answered with “yes” then she’s Tinker Bell. And everyone should stop making it more complex than that!

Tink-a-tink-a-too!

Wa-hoo! Special little pony for you!

Honestly the "just buy wool, you suck if you use acrylic" people piss me off. Yes, if you can you should buy natural fiber yarns but it's never that simple. If you only have access to acrylic, use it. I'm allergic to wool, for one, and cotton is often not a good substitute, they behave differently. I try to use recycled stuff but I'm damn well going to use acrylic too if the situation calls for it. Just don't overconsume yarn and you're fine. (Calling it "vegan" and deliberately buying it instead of wool is stupid, but that's completely different than using what's available to you.)

Thank you.

I agree, you should buy natural fibers and it's not that simple.

(Yes, calling is "vegan" and buying it because of that is so, so, so stupid.)

[ettawritesnstudies]

taking part in athena's ask a thon! Has any other media inspired you?

Thanks for the ask!

Hmmmmmm, recently there's been two.

The first is the Kingkiler Chronicle: it's about a orphan bard kid named Kvothe who goes to a magical university to learn about what killed his family, and a big part of the story is truth being uncovered through children's playground rhymes and other folk songs nobody (important) pays any attention to. It inspired me to write some songs for Runaways, especially because music such a big part of the story already! Kvothe is a drama king it's very funny but otherwise not that similar to Runaways. Very good book though.

I've also been really obsessed with the Wingfeather Saga. I found it through the new animated TV show - it got crowdfunded and released for free(!) on the Angel app which is very cool, and I was watching it with my siblings when I was last home. They watch a lot of obnoxious kids shows but I really liked this one. The animation style is adorable and the story was good, but it left me on a plot twist and a cliffhanger so of course I had to go find the book series that it was adapted from. And it's genius.

The story follows the Igiby family as they try to survive under the rule of the evil Fangs of Dang, then go on the run once the Fangs start hunting them down (for plot reasons). The family is a pirate grandfather named Podo, their long suffering and strong mother Nia, the oldest bookish protector, Janner, the impulsive sporty middle child, Tink aka Kalmar, and the Too Pure For This Sinful World youngest musician, Leeli. Both Podo and Leeli are disabled but it's handled in a great way throughout the series. It subverts a lot of the usual fairytale tropes in brilliant ways without ever feeling jarring.

The story is told through Janner's POV mostly, and it is possibly the most relatable oldest sibling experience I've ever read. Please get this kid some hot chocolate and a nap ASAP please I love him. There's a lot of themes about "I am my brother's keeper" and music being the thing that connects the three kids and "remember who you are" with names. The tone is the perfect balance of sincere and heartwarming and terrifying and silly. I want people to feel like this when they're reading Runaways.
