So uh. Haha. I stumbled upon this video about sea lions and immediately went "Oh this is Roddy!"

Because with their hyperactive jumpy wiggly loud behavior? And with their ability to fuck around on land? That's him

Not sure if this design gives uncanny valley or if I'm just overthinking it though. Maybe I should work on it some more but I thought I'd share the idea:)

Trick or treat IT'S STILL HALLOWEEN HERE OK

Happy still Halloween 😂 here's over but oh well!

You get a bit of the thing I've been writing today (I needed to get the mutual noncon out of my system apparently)

ask game here!

Barry would have never imagined to feel raw, unfettered relief at seeing the face of an enemy, no matter how familiar. Although total isolation and the knowledge that his loved ones were close - so much so Barry could swear he heard some of them shouting each other’s names - while unable to do anything about it, had been near maddening. That and the now near constant fits of cramps which forced him tightly curled up on his spot, fisting and pulling at the thin sheets that had been left in the otherwise bare room.

Eobard doesn’t look much better than him with that feverish flush on his cheeks and his arms twitching in hard tremors, but at least he manages to muster enough strength to push himself up on his feet, and then next to Barry. 

The closeness allows him to pick up Avery’s smell, then Bart’s, then other familiar undertones he can’t immediately identify. And rationally he knows this isn’t Eobard’s fault but he glares anyway, a growl forming in the pitch of his chest at the idea that someone dared touching his pups. 

Not that he would have the strength to push the other off or even just wiggle away, and so he doesn’t fight when Eobard grabs him by the shoulders, mutters an apology and then presses nose and mouth into the crook of Barry’s neck. His body radiates warmth, and after another shudder Barry has to actively prevent himself from purring. 

«Are you hurt…?» He croaks, his voice not really cooperating after not being used for way too long. It’s easy to tell that Thawne is in pain. Most cramps and a migraine and every light being like a knife to his eyes, but he might have been harmed in other ways. 

Barry sees him shake his head and isn’t sure he trusts it. Relief swept away a good part of his concern though, as having a body pressed to his own eases his discomfort and wards off the chill, but he can’t help another distressed rumble when he picks up more of his pack’s scents. 

 «Where are they?» He asks, and acknowledges to have mindlessly pulled the other speedster on his lap. «What did you do with my pack?»

«Nothing.» Eobard grunts, growing tense like talking was too much of an effort. «Not compatible.»

Fun fact: There is literally no gender identity, assigned sex, race, or orientation that makes you immune to being a bigot. "I can't be racist, I'm a--" Wrong. "I can't be homophobic I'm literally--" Incorrect. "Of course I'm not sexist, I'm--" Nope. If you think there is some fundamental, immutable property of your identity that makes you inherently incapable of bigotry, you are SO MUCH MORE LIKELY to fall into casual bigotry, because you are not going to be examining your biases in that area. Check yourself and check your friends. Being a good person isn't a noun, it's an action.

"why are you upset that people are getting viral support for mouthing homophobic talking points, they did it on their own post"

are you hearing yourself

[ftl-faster-than-life-archived]

Better yet you need to get better at identifying when YOU are being a bigot.

Y'all are out here regurgitating radfem rhetoric but giving it a pass because as long as it's specifically cismen you're being rancid to, it's fine.

You're out here talking about 'studying gay porn like bugs' and calling it 'like a nature documentary' and that's fine, you mean it in a cutesy way, what do you mean there's a long history of dehumanizing queer people and likening queer sex to animals? You didn't mean it in a homophobic way obviously!

Some of you are just straight up bigots and you haven't once examined your biases and the WAY YOU TALK ABOUT OTHER HUMAN BEINGS to recognize it.

hey respectfully why did you go on someone else's post expressing their feelings about platonic shipping only to tell them to do that quietly in their own spaces and make their own stuff. as if they didn't make their own post about it

hey respectfully OP is deactivated so idk who you're trying to defend here.

Also I am gonna call out homophobic bullshit when I see it and you should too. Cheers!

[ftl-faster-than-life-archived]

man it's almost like it was a viral post which has a lot of people nodding along to what is, verbatim, homophobic rhetoric, ('but I said I didn't MEAN it in a homophobic way! so it's not homophobic! because I said it's not!') and not someone quietly complaining in private.

Honestly you all need to get so much less comfortable with letting people justify echoing bigotry as long as they couch it with progressive language or pretend that their bigotry isn't coming from a place of hate so it's okay.

After Eobard's neck was snapped, the other Flash Rogues stole his body from the morgue so they could desecrate his corpse. Later on down the line, his naked body is shown in the background of panels showing their headquarters, standing in a glass case.

Idk if that's dollification but they definitely made a trophy out of him.

"It did actually happen" HUH? What is going on in Flash comics? 😅 You can't just say that without explaining!

Re: this post

What *isn't* going on in Flash comics xD

So, basic condensed version from someone who is still delving into Flash stuff and enjoys stretching things a bit because I think the idea that Eobard has become a flesh doll multiple times is great, Eobard dies and/or gets encased in things multiple times, and people like stealing his body and having "ceremonies" with it. Which, maybe I am exaggerating a little bit but between that, the black lantern arc where his corpse got reanimated by a power ring (which, arguable but what is a reanmiated corpse tormenting his archenemy but another, different version of flesh doll), and the speed force being *gestures* Like That, Eobard is just destined to be made into a flesh doll. Not that I can blame anyone or universal force for it, Eo is very pretty.

Counterpart Eobard Thawne/Barry Allen Thawne's glance scalds as hot as his touch does as it skims across Barry's face. Down his body, he can feel it like a physical thing as those burning eyes trail just behind fingertips. Maybe it's because he's so used to being seen without seeing that makes Eobard's regard feel so intense now...

Thawne's glance scalds as hot as his touch does as it skims across Barry's face. Down his body, he can feel it like a physical thing as those burning eyes trail just behind fingertips. Maybe it's because he's so used to being seen without seeing that makes Eobard's regard feel so intense now, but Barry feels as if he's on the edge of overstimulation and that hand hasn't even dipped below his belt yet. His breath hitches and his hips jerk upwards, eager and clumsy like he's new to this...is he new to this? They've never done this in this lifetime, he thinks, but the impression of other times press and bleed against the pages of here and now as if they've become soaked through, saturated with each successive attempt at...what, exactly?

This isn't what it's all leading up to, he doesn't think. Thawne is looking at him now like a man possessed--entranced--like every movement and every look is something he wants to catalogue and put on display. But this intimacy isn't enough. There's more that he wants, and that scares him.

Barry turns his head, burying his face in Eobard's throat with a shakey exhale. It's bizarre, how easy it is to lean back into Thawne, how natural it feels to let him take some of his weight. They fit well together--they always have, actually, it's just easier to dismiss the way their bodies slot together like someone carved them from one piece when they're running and fighting and Thawne is letting cruelty drip from his tongue like poison.

His lips don't taste like poison, and they should.

Rationally, this shouldn't be happening. The damage they've both done to each other is unforgivable, incalculable...it shouldn't be so easy to fall into step together, shouldn't feel natural to have Thawne at his side when he fights, shouldn't feel normal to banter with his Reverse, and the planet should start orbiting in the wrong direction around the Sun before Barry should be willing to let Eobard touch him.

Irrationally, the moment Barry gave in it felt like something that had been twisted out of place inside of him aligned perfectly and an ache in his chest that he hadn't known he'd been living with eased.

It was desperately easy.

Now, finally, Eobard's hand did slip past his belt, and Barry found himself gasping like he'd never been touched in his life before...something about the way that opposing energy that spun between the molecules of Eobard's body reacted to his own living Force made Barry truly feel it in a way skin on skin shouldn't accomplish.

Eobard turned his head and pressed lips to Barry's sweat-damp temple in a way that made him shudder, and then settle, reaching back with a hand to cradle the back of the bigger man's neck.

His hips moved of their own accord, pushing into the hold Thawne had on him, and Eobard continued to ground him with kisses. Barry bit gently into the muscle at the base of Thawne's throat to muffle the cry that wanted to escape him at last, his hand gripping at the yellow cowl his counterpart wore.

Finally, when they were both slack and sated and tangled up in each other, Barry was able to face Eobard's eyes again, turning his face away from his Reverse' throat with a few last, conciliatory kisses. They regarded each other for a long moment, and Thawne's hand paused--stuttered, almost--in its leisurely petting.

Barry looked away first.

He wasn't ready for that final step, not yet.

The context for this is that in Convergence: The Flash #1, pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Barry got stuck in Gotham because the entire city got yoinked while he was back from his retreat to the future to make an appearance at a paralympics event. So he's been trapped there for a year when we see him and is, of course, working for the local police as a forensic scientist. There are some interesting anomalies here--Barry is referred to as 'Doctor', he makes no mention of his trial and conviction, other oddities.

that time Barry got stuck in Gotham for a year pre-Crisis because of time travel shenanigans and Bruce put him up in the tackiest apartment imaginable
