On the Eyes of Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent: The Windows to Their Souls 🌟🦇🦸‍♂️

There’s something about eyes. I’m not talking about just their color or the way they shine in certain light, but the depth behind them. With Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent, their eyes tell you everything about who they are — even when they’re hiding behind a mask or a pair of glasses.

🦇 Bruce Wayne’s eyes are a perfect reflection of Gotham’s darkness. They’re haunted, sharp, always calculating. When Bruce looks at you, it’s not just seeing — it’s assessing. Those eyes have witnessed trauma, pain, and a kind of isolation that leaves its mark. His gaze is always vigilant, always looking for threats, always burdened by the weight of his past and the city he’s sworn to protect. In everything Bruce does, there’s a calculation.

But that’s not what’s most interesting.

No, it’s what you see when he lets his guard down — just a little bit. A fleeting look, a slight softness when he's with those he trusts (whether it’s Alfred, Dick, or even Clark). You can catch it if you pay attention. And it’s in those rare moments that his eyes show something other than the hardened vigilante: humanity.

🦸‍♂️ Clark Kent, on the other hand, has eyes that shine with warmth and hope. His gaze is steady, filled with the optimism that makes him who he is. His eyes have seen the best in humanity, even if the world has tried to make him doubt it. Clark’s kindness isn’t just about how he acts — it’s embedded in the way he looks at people. When he looks at someone, it’s like he’s already forgiving them for their mistakes.

He looks at the world with the belief that it can be better, that people can change, that love can win.

But, as much as his eyes reflect hope, they also hide a burden. There is a weight behind that kindness. There’s the pressure of being everything to everyone. He’s not just the hero, he’s the moral compass, and sometimes that becomes a lonely place to stand.

🌧️ Maybe that’s why Bruce’s eyes are more gray than blue. Not because they’re clouded or dim, but because they’ve been tempered by Gotham’s harshness. They’ve absorbed the grit, the shadows, and the unrelenting weight of a city that never lets you forget its darkness. His eyes aren’t just a reflection of what he’s seen, but of the battles he’s fought and lost.

☀️ Meanwhile, Clark’s eyes are a bright, hopeful blue — like the open skies of Kansas. They’re clear, unclouded by the world’s cynicism. His gaze reflects a life shaped by the warmth of family, by the wide, open spaces of his childhood, and by the belief that the world can be better.

Together, these two are often seen as opposites: Bruce, the man shaped by pain, distrust, and tragedy. Clark, the man of hope, compassion, and unshakable faith. But when you look into their eyes, there’s a shared burden. A shared humanity. And it’s in the moments where their gazes meet — whether it’s in silent understanding or in battle — that we see just how connected they truly are.

The eyes, truly, are the windows to the soul.

And Bruce and Clark? Well, their souls couldn’t be more different, and yet, they share something undeniably real.

Every time something ugly happens in fandom space—someone gets harassed, excluded, or dogpiled—there's a moment when people could step in. Say something. Offer support. Push back. But most don’t. They stay quiet, even when it's their mutuals getting hurt.

And then, a week later, those same people wonder aloud: “Why is the fandom shrinking?”

This is why. Because when things go bad, people look away. Because silence is easier than conflict. Because letting someone else take the fall feels safer than standing up. And in doing that, the space becomes hostile, even if only in small, quiet ways.

Fandoms don’t just fade. They rot from the inside when community care is replaced with self-preservation. If you want a thriving fandom, you have to act like it’s a community worth protecting. That means intervening. That means not letting people you care about get isolated or pushed out while you watch from the sidelines.

You can’t have it both ways. You don’t get to mourn a shrinking fandom while choosing silence when it actually counts.

After Dark Thoughts

Bunny Blanket: A Loki X Reader Series

💭 A Dark Thought from Loki

Loki's gaze never wavers from her, watching the way her desperate grinding stirs the blanket, the only thing that keeps her grounded in the chaos of her heat. How pathetic she looks, how helpless. The soft, pink fabric is all she has, a useless thing she clings to, when it’s clear she craves more.

She doesn't know it yet, but she's already his. The little games she plays with her comfort, her unspoken needs-they don’t matter. He knows her better than she knows herself. And soon enough, the blanket won’t be enough. He will make sure of that.

The thought of her sobbing, begging, her body trembling and ruined under his control makes his lips curl into a cruel smile. She will break, just like all the others. But it’ll be different. He’ll make her crave him the way she craves that damn blanket. And when she does, when she begs for his touch, he’ll make sure there’s no turning back.

Her tears will be his to taste. Her cries for mercy will be music to his ears. And she’ll learn, just as he always knew, that she belongs to him- and no comforting blanket could ever change that.

🖤 Keep dancing in the dark...we'll be waiting for you in the shadows 🖤

I feel like people don't talk enough about the CD cover for Star Marker. Just look at it.

It looks like Deku's screaming like "Woo, we're in a shooting star!!" and Bakugo's telling him to shut up because "he's ruining the view with his cheering"

Tsuyu's catching a star with her tongue. How cute.

Uraraka's lookig at Deku and Iida's looking to what further away.

Jiro's singing while Ashido has the time of her life.

This is just... *Wheze*

And of course, the best part.

Todoroki has a bunch of stars... How cute...

I honestly just assumed they'd write in binary code but this actually much more efficient and cooler.

I always get a lot of comments about the 2-key pony keyboard. I wanted to explain how I think they could work. I've been told there is an input device called orbiTouch which works on the same principle.

Marauders' Secret Pet Peeves Headcanon! 🙄

Even legends have their little quirks, right? My headcanons for their secret pet peeves:

James: People who are late for Quidditch practice. Or anyone implying he's not the best seeker.

Sirius: Being told to "calm down" or "be sensible." Also, socks with sandals.

Remus: Loud chewers. And anyone who touches his books without permission.

Peter: Being forgotten. Or accidentally eating a Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Bean that's earwax flavored.

[gaywario420]

bet this fucker absolutely KILLS IT on the grill ngl

[fandomthoughts0620]

When people say that the last two episode got leaked do they mean some scenes got posted or that the whooooole episode got posted without permission???

[justsomeunsurefancat]

Shoto's wonderful. He had several struggles to get closer to being the person he wanted, but he worked really hard and pushed trough them.

Even if he failed, he admited his mistakes, always learned from those experiences and tried fixing what he did wrong.

He became and extremely kind person, and even when he just started to change he helped others.

he’s my fav character and i don’t talk about him nearly as much as i should

he is just so 🫶

like

and his quirk !!

plus he’s hilarious

i just love him

The Tragedy of Tim Drake: the Robin who imposed himself

Tim Drake’s story isn’t just one of a boy stepping into a legacy, not a fallen one, not a replacement, but a boy who chose to become Robin because he believed in what Robin stood for. He didn’t fall into the mantle: he claimed it. And that, in a world of inherited roles and tragic accidents, already sets him apart.

👨‍👩‍👦 Tim's Family, the Ghosts of His Past Tim Drake was never truly seen by his parents, not until it was almost too late. His father, Jack, was distant, and his mother, who tragically passed away, left a void that Tim tried to fill with his intellect and drive. But what’s more tragic than being neglected as a child is being recognized only when you’ve stopped needing that recognition — when Tim had already begun to build new bonds, to find care and purpose elsewhere. That’s when Jack tried to pull him back. Not because he finally understood him, but because he was afraid of losing what he never properly held.

At that moment, it wasn’t just a father’s jealousy over another man taking his place. It was a father who couldn’t see the child he had neglected, only recognizing Tim when it felt like his identity was being rewritten by someone else.

🦇 A Substitute for Jason, but Never Jason Tim didn’t get the luxury of being the first Robin. He wasn’t a legacy, and his connection to Batman was never formed out of mutual understanding or shared trauma like Dick or Jason. He was a replacement for Jason Todd, whose death had left an unhealed wound in Bruce’s heart. But Tim? He was just another boy with a talent for detective work, another cog in a machine that had already been turned several times before.

And he wasn’t even the Robin Bruce adopted. Not the heart-son that Jason became in life and death — even when Tim was left truly orphaned, and in the most traumatic of ways.

He doesn’t have the history Dick shares with Bruce, and he certainly doesn’t have the bloodline Damian boasts.

🌑 A Usurper to Damian, Always in the Shadow If being a replacement for Jason wasn’t enough, Tim also had to face Damian Wayne — a son of Bruce’s blood, a boy who wasn’t just a Robin by choice but by inheritance. To Damian, Tim wasn’t just another member of the Bat-family; he was a usurper, someone who had been given a place he didn’t deserve. Damian, with all his arrogance and entitlement, made Tim’s position feel fragile at best. There was always this unspoken tension — Damian with his blood right, Tim with his intellectual cunning.

To Damian, Tim was nothing more than the second Robin. A placeholder for Bruce's "real" son. And what makes this even more tragic is how little recognition Tim gets from his own family.

💔 Bruce, the Father Who Can't Love (Enough) But the deepest tragedy lies in Bruce himself. Bruce Wayne loves Tim, there’s no doubt about it, but he doesn’t know how to express it. He doesn’t know how to show it. And Tim, who has spent his whole life being neglected, can’t read Bruce’s affection the way Dick or even Jason could. Unlike those who saw Bruce’s gruffness as a sign of his love, Tim doesn’t have the luxury of knowing that Bruce cares. He has no emotional cushion to protect him from Bruce’s inability to express his feelings, and it leaves him feeling more alone than ever.

He’s the Robin who isn’t needed. He’s the Robin who imposed himself. The one who loved the idea of Robin more than anyone else. And the only one who was never chosen to be Robin.

Maybe that says more about what Robin truly is than any other child who’s worn the mask. Maybe that’s what makes Tim the closest to the spirit of “I Am Robin” — the movement that came after, born from choice, belief, and conviction rather than legacy or blood.

Is it because of all this that Tim has had more emotional development in fandom than in many of his current comic runs? Probably.

And yes — he has beautiful moments of being loved by his family. His coming out is one of them, tender and true and long overdue. He is loved, and well loved, in many stories.

But today, I wanted to sit with the pain. To look at the anguish in his journey. Because that is also Tim Drake. And he deserves to be seen in full.

Korra, lets talk about it.

OK I NEED TO BRING THIS UP

I don’t remember Korra as well as avatar just because I didn’t have much access to it growing up. 

But I have to say, the show doesn’t deserve the crap it gets. Sure, it had flaws but it was VERY VERY VERY important to Avatar Lore and answers a lot of backstory that the last airbender didn’t. This is a fact I feel. 

For my personal opinion, I thought Korra was a better avatar than Aang as she was down to earth and seemed more raw to me. But show wise, I think The Last Airbender takes the cake with its writing and characters. Korra should also be put on Netflix as it isn’t a mistake. 

It gave a more modern spin and in some ways a more mature story of politics and economics in a kids show. Though it was scattered and all over the place especially with having different villains and changing up story quite a bit, it was still meaningful. The characters had problems that were similar to real life. Sure The Last Airbender of course had situations that we could all relate with but it also had an aesthetic that didn’t seem down to earth which is what the Legend of Korra strives to have. I think that is one of the main reasons people didn’t fix on Korra as easily they did with Aang because it didn’t have that same mysticism. 

I don’t want to make this too long BUT

Korra was an appropriate choice for a follow up series. It had its flaws and used Korra as a punching bag a lot but it still had a lot of charm in its own more down to earth way. I would change numerous things as character development did fly out the window at times but they all still have their own closing journeys that put many tv shows to shame. 

Legend of Korra deserves the same amount of recognition as Avatar the Last Airbender and it should be respected. It had a badass avatar with her own problems along with a cast of characters that shined light on many problems that gave the show a slice of life feel.

So there was a time where I'd see cosplays of Mirio from BNHA, and I'd always feel like there was something off, but I could never put my finger on it... and then one day it hit me. MIRIO'S EYES ARE DOTS

HIS EYES ARE LITERALLY DOTS WITH A HIGHLITH. OF COURSE IT'D LOOK WEIRD FOR HIM TO HAVE ACTUAL, HUMAN LOOKING EYES.

[butch-lister]

I like that people are following me on here like as if i make good content so like lets leap right into this shit then

[anydaynow]

i wish Lindsay had made another appearance, i think it was totally out of character of her not to come back to see her sister, even if it was to say goodbye. She went to prison for her family, protecting her sister, and then she just abandoned them :/ it doesn’t make sense to me

Treasure Planet moments

One of many easy to miss little clips.  Did anyone else notice Silver drawing Jim back in one of his back-scene protective moments as Doctor Doppler lowered the ship to them.

Fangirling feels

So I re-watched the S09E10 of The Big Bang Theory, the one where they got back together and I’m just thinking that if ever the writers would write an episode where Sheldon and Amy get married, they should use the song Darlin’ by the Beach Boys as their first dance because it has a sentimental meaning in their relationship. That song made Sheldon realize how she loved Amy so deeply and reminded him how she changed his life though Sheldon doesn’t want change. 

It will be so cute and adorable watching them dance with this song especially making it as their first dance as a married couple. I’m sure they could pull it off because we all know that Sheldon is also an expert in dancing and we saw them dance in one of the past episodes. Oh, I wish they would do that.
