I'm sorry, I started writing and I couldn't stop!
It was common knowledge that Bruce Wayne didn't do relationships.
Bruce Wayne was a fun time, but not the kind of person you introduced to your parents. His little black book, containing more blacked out names than not, was a testament to that. Each redacted name, an engagement announcement, or serious relationship.
It didn't bother Bruce. None of those people truly knew him after all. What he had with them was mutually beneficial. They got a no strings attached good time, and he got credibility to his playboy image.
While Bruce wasn't one for committed relationships, he was known to favor some partners over others. He wasn’t one to toy with feelings or promise more than he was willing to give. They knew not to take preferential treatment as a sign of anything exclusive, merely that he enjoyed their company more than others.
His most recent, and current favorite, partner was Clark Kent, a reporter for The Daily Planet. He seemed out of his element when they first met, but Bruce quickly learned that, when comfortable, Clark was quite charming. He was smart and quick-witted, with a sense of humor that Bruce could appreciate. He was cute too.
"How's my favorite reporter doing today?" Bruce smiled against his phone.
"I don't know, Lois isn't here yet." Clark quipped.
Bruce couldn't help but chuckle. "No offense to Ms. Lane, but she's far too intimidating to be my favorite."
Clark’s laugh made Bruce melt, just a little.
"She'd take that as a compliment, trust me. So, to what do I owe this pleasure, Mr. Wayne?"
"I'll be in Metropolis this weekend for work, and you do know how much I hate sleeping alone." He made sure Clark could hear his pout. "I was hoping I could steal you away, if you're not busy."
"Now, how could I possibly say no to that?" Bruce, could imagine the smirk on Clark’s face; the way his eyes sparkled whenever he found Bruce’s antics entertaining.
"If you pick me up after my meeting Friday, we can grab dinner and then go back to the hotel." Bruce practically purred. "Was there any place you wanted to go?"
"How about I handle dinner? You handle dessert." Clark's voice sent a shiver through Bruce.
"Sounds like a plan to me. So I'll see you Friday?"
"I'll see you Friday, Bruce." Clark's voice sounded... fond. "Oh, boss is coming! I'll call you later. I love you." The call ended before Bruce could respond.
Bruce stared at his phone, eyes wide.
Clark had said he loved him.
Bruce knew Clark knew his reputation. The night they met, he had heard an elderly woman warning Clark against getting too close.
He couldn’t have meant it. Clark was in a hurry, perhaps it had been a mistake, a habit from talking to his parents in Kansas.
There was no way Clark loved him.
By the time Friday rolled around, Bruce really wasn't feeling up to dinner. He really just wanted to lie down.
Clark was waiting for Bruce outside the Metropolis branch of Wayne Enterprises.
"Long day?" Clark asked, giving Bruce a sympathetic smile.
"Just a lot on my mind." Bruce admitted, letting himself lean into Clark as they walked.
"Anything you want to talk about?" Clark asked, wrapping an arm around Bruce’s waist.
"Not here. When we get back to the hotel." He promised.
Clark led them to a Chinese place, picking up a take-out order.
"I thought you might like a night in." He gave Bruce a lopsided smile, holding up the bag. Sometimes, Bruce wondered if Clark could read minds.
Bruce made pleased noise. "You're amazing."
"So, what's on your mind?" Clark asked when they got to their room. Always straight to business with Clark. Bruce liked that about him.
"Last time we talked on the phone. You said you loved me." Bruce started. "I'm sure you didn't mean it, but-"
"I did mean it, Bruce. I do mean it." Clark cut him off.
"Are you serious?" Clark asked in disbelief. "Bruce, you're amazing!"
"Why?" Bruce couldn't help how his face scrunched up, like Dick's the first time the boy learned about escargot. Nobody loved Bruce Wayne. Sure, people would say they loved him, in the way one loved a band or an actor. But nobody loved him.
"I don't understand." Bruce really didn't. He was supposed to be unlovable: vapid and shallow. Where did he go wrong? "Brucie Wayne isn't really boyfriend material." He said, as if the reminder of who Clark was talking about would snap the man out of it.
Clark simply sighed. "I don't love Brucie. I love Bruce." He explained. "I've seen you, after a gala, helping the cleaning staff. You wash the dishes, so Alfred doesn't have to. You read all those books you tell people are 'too difficult for you to read' and you bought 'for the aesthetics'. All those ideas Lucius Fox came up with? I've seen them come together on your desk first. I don't know why you hide that side of you; why you act like you're stupid when others are around, but I know the kind of person you really are, and that's the person I love."
Bruce was stunned into silence. He knew he had let the Brucie act slip a little around Clark, but he didn't realize how much he had let Clark see.
Clark scanned Bruce’s face before giving him a confused look. "Wait... I thought we were dating?"
"What? Why would you think that?" Bruce mirrored Clark's confused expression with his own.
"Bruce, you haven't been seen with anyone else for months. We see each other even when there's nothing going on! We went to the fair together!" He explained.
"I wasn't there for fun. It was for charity." Bruce argued. He had volunteered for the dunk tank.
"Exactly! Who asks a casual hook up to that?"
Bruce thought about it. He had never invited anyone before. It wouldn't be fun for his date, hanging around a booth all day. But he had invited Clark... He thought about how enjoyable that day was. Clark's laugh when Bruce was plunged into the water. His bright eyes and smile as he offered Bruce a towel. How eagerly he helped Bruce and the other volunteers. Looking back, it felt very domestic.
"Shit." Bruce whispered, eyes widening in realization. "We're dating."
When had that happened?
How did that happen?
"Is that... are you okay?" Clark asked, looking unsure.
"Yeah." Bruce shook his thoughts away. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just can't believe I'm the last to know about my own relationship." He admitted.
Clark laughed. Bruce loved that laugh.
"Well, better late than never." Clark teased. "And now, I would like to get comfy, watch TV, eat dinner, and cuddle."
"That sounds perfect." Bruce made a grateful groan, following Clark to the bed. He could get used to having a boyfriend.
hear me out:
bruce and clark are having a casual relationship for a while until clark says "ily" during the act
bruce just being confused because he didn't actually think clark would want to be with him other than brucie wayne being attractive and generally good in bed
clark goes fluff mode and confesses how he feels and in the end is like "wait... i thought we were dating????"

jared padalecki and jensen ackles boston con 2025 - gold panel
cheerleading and (allegedly non-existent) short shorts
#j2#j2 cons#boscon#boscon 2025#if bring it on (2000) taught the general public anything about cheerleading it's you need dudes for big stunts#and it's doesn't mean anything about anything other than a chance to hang out with girls#and get to toss them around. and hopefully not be a creep about it#jared padalecki#jensen ackles#j2 gifs#jacheer#like i mentioned in the alt i don't know what Jared was using air quotes for#i.... see how it could be interpreted as casting doubt on it being his gf-which i don't think is the case#but i'm coming up blank on other reasons. doubting she was the captain? lol#j2gifs#mygifs#i was a cheerleader in high school and i was a base aka the person throwing and catching people#my arms were basically constantly bruised from being stepped on for basket tosses#my school was very small then though and i'm pretty sure we didn't have a key club - which apparently is affiliated with kiwanis#which i had no idea. i'd heard the phrase before but had no clue what it was#they do have one now along with a million other clubs because the school quadrupled in size since i went lol#i was originally gonna get the uncle jared bits from this panel. and then the double triple quad banger bits#but got overwhelmed and ended up in this section so here we go#public service announcement that jensen was not a cheerleader but did help with stunts occasionally#jared joked about using ai to make a picture of jensen in hs cheer short shorts out of the cannon but plz no ;(#and as a former cheerleader (aka a total expert 🤪) i agree that no he wasn't a cheerleader#helping with stunts occasionally during football games a cheerleader does not make#maaaaybe a little thank you credit on the yearbook page :p

desert flygon
#pokemon#pokemon ruby and sapphire#hoenn#gen 3#flygon#aquanutart#i made this in the dead of winter a couple of years ago#after wanting for the whole year to enter the tcg illustration contest but i ended up working on something at the last minute as usual#i don't like competition but i enjoy having a reason to draw a pokemon with a lot of other people#i was waking up early before work to keep making progress on it but i thought i wasn't going to make the deadline#and when i had just decided i had done as much as i could and couldn't get it finished#i went out on that cold snowy day and on that day and that day only for some reason my car wouldn't start#we tried starting it with jumper cables but i'm not sure i know how to use them.. anyway i had to call someone and wait for them to come#i had to call in late to work and then i was waiting for two hours. which was just about enough time for me to keep working on this#i was able to submit it seconds before the deadline the next morning#and it's very cool to me that i was able to participate even though i didn't place (i'm actually glad i didn't place)#(because i would rather it go to someone who worked longer on their entry and/or started earlier before the deadline)#(i just wanted to join everyone in drawing a pokemon but i would prefer for it to just be its own thing and not compared to other pokemon)#this is partly why it's cool to me to have the tcg cards from the contest i also entered!#i chose to draw flygon because gen 3 is one of my favorites and i grew up in the desert and always wanted to imagine pokemon running around#that was the last era of my childhood before i moved and had to grow up where everything was new and different#for 12 years overseas i was homesick for this sun#i'm in a snowier place now but i see the sun even in winter so i'm happy!#since drawing this i appreciate and notice flygon a lot more! i always thought trapinch was very cute#i love the scene in twilight wings final episode when flygon is looking around and scanning; it's so cool#and because of this i got very excited to see flygon in the pokearth documentary flying like a dragonfly#i had wanted to imagine it landing a bit like a bug

I forgot about how killing eve's writing just starts getting progressively worse the more season 3 goes on. Like girl what happened to my show.......... my characters......... what did they DO to villanelle...................... and where is EVE
#eve is gone for like half the season#and villanelle has suddenly developed empathy and started caring about killing...........#like listen ok I get not wanting to kill anymore. especially after she killed her mother#but it doesn't justify her personality doing a complete 180 like that??#like suddenly she cares when she kills people. suddenly she's not being manipulative with eve anymore#like. I could buy into a character arc like that if it made sense and didn't come out of nowhere. but it came out of NOWHERE#it's like the writer suddenly decided she was gonna make villanelle a better person#but didn't really put that much effort into setting that change up#everything that happens as season 3 goes on only really works if you don't think too much about it#and it's like the closer you get to the end the more they're asking you to suspend your disbelief#which got rlly hard for me on that last episode tbh. as much as I think the scene on the bridge is cute#all I could think about was 'villanelle feels so off. I don't think she'd act like this at all in previous seasons'#and the change just doesn't feel earned#maybe it could make sense but you have to really dig to try to find reasons why. the show sure doesn't give you many on-screen#just like it doesn't give many answers on-screen to anything at all LMAO RIGHT ON EP1#we never learn who found eve at rome and how#we never learn much of anything about how she got where she is#we never see the main couple TALK about what happened in rome. but they're suddenly cool with it after 1 fight on the bus#AND I LOVE THE BUS KISS it's probably the best scene out of the whole season#but god I wish it wasn't the only moment where we see them hashing things out#and then on ep1 there's kenny's death being used as a plot device......#and then the investigation of his murder also being 1 huge plot device#which kinda goes nowhere besides getting mentioned here and there and at the end being like#'oh! konstatin killed kenny!! do you guys remember that this whole season started off being about kenny?? remember that you guys???'#like. bold thing to do when 90% of the season wasn't about any of that#it just felt so disjointed :/ I was so sad on this rewatch bc I loved s1&2 so much............. and I forgot how bad it got after#and I know s4 is about to get worse........ oh boy#I'm almost considering not rewatching it tbh#killing eve#sleep.txt

more phoenix wright situations
#ace attorney tag#maybe i should tag this narumitsu or something. but i dont really care.#gearing up to rereading/illustrating bits of my fic i suppose...i think nick really is too dense to realise he's in love with edgeworth#without some scheming fop trying to intrude. i love villains like kristoph..villains can be fun..witnessing their pathetic folly..#or more like edgeworth would never have mentioned his feelings ever in his life if he wasn't sure phoenix reciprocates.#i want to see it this way because Falling in love during childhood with the person you're going to end up with. is not relatable#there have to be Situations that make you Realise.#as with orufrey i adore the idea of people not working out their romance with that person until their 30s+#but... i mean. even with orufrey i often think how alaira could be qifrey's ex. and oru having been pursued by noble fops through his work#there is that delicate sliver of time before orufrey start living together that such believable situations could have happened.#Then the relief of politely and amicably extricating themselves from those untenable situations#the idea of falling in love age 7 and saving your first kiss for age 35 or something is all very well but more relatable is#people realising how they really feel whilst trying something that ends up feeling wrong.#The comfort and joy of living with your dearest one as if it's platonic - much preferable to trying anything more with anyone else.#But i doubt i will ever portray that or mention it further. it is indeed very delicate to me.#and i really am an OTP FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kind of person who can barely bear to consider this anyway...NOT a polyshipper i'm afraid !#so i wouldn't mind either if they do have their first kiss in their lives age 35 with each other either. I would not mind that at all.#i love bi/gay couples apparently... bi father figures & their grumpy gay men waiting for them to work it all out...#not used to using colour in comic-style drawings..or at all..so this is messy and awkward looking..but colour is refreshing#i imagine i will go back to witch hat art soon btw. my destiny in life.#i still remember writing my nrmt fic expecting to write their first kiss & then partway through twas like Umm No. They have kissed prior.#does that really line up with this comic though... i think i had their early dinner dates/first kiss BEFORE disbarment.#so i guess this comic doesn't line up with my ficverse.... No..... U___U Oh well. sorry kris! <3

You’re looking a bit different than usual! (Patreon)
#Doodles#Clinical Trial#Lee Smith#Angel Martinez#I had to try drawing them in my own style(s)! Somehow my more realistic-cartoony style doesn't suit them as well as Just Desserts haha#They already have a quite cute style to begin with so I guess that's not much of a surprise#I think I didn't make Lee beefy enough - he needs a thicker neck and just - more#Strong and also tummy...#Just gotta practice more oh nooooo#At least he has the RBF that's an important element hehe#I've seen some really gorgeous - and much more androgynous! - Angel renditions out there that I'd really like to try again with them#I've also seen the comparison so I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that Angel and Anya Mouthwashing have a similar vibe#The blues...... Both the colour and the sads haha ;;#Both deserved better!!!! At least Angel doesn't die but still...#I like that Lee becomes more visibly scruffy in his house clothes hehe <3 Especially so when he's nervous! S'a good look ♪#Brushed hair vs. bed head very cute#I'm also pretty sure I got his work jacket lapels wrong but that wasn't just here lol#Look it's still early doodles I'm still getting used to the both of them! I can be pedantic now that I've seen how they're supposed to be!#Just gotta draw 'em again and right this time lol again I say oh noooo#They really are cute in the JD style.... What kinds of sweets would they be hmmm#Lee could be like a breath mint or something lol#Or like a hospital lollipop - blood donation sweets like Oreos and orange juice hahaha#I know chocolate is such a tried and true but I could see him being a baker's chocolate as well#Who better to pair with a baker! Angel knows what to do with him >:3c And he'd want to be in the hands of a professional hehe#Angel I could see as being something light and tart... Sure a pastry would work but maybe like a galaxy-pour cake#Or one of those many-layered cheesecakes all dyed different colours to make a piece of art by the end#Paired with blueberries :3 Or a blueberry wine reduction sauce ahh#And if their flavours complemented it would be all the better <3#I could see either of them going the Appetite of a People Pleaser route....

oh would you look at that, it's @tes-gala time!!
I didn't think I was gonna finish this at all tbh. I had barely touched the sketch and then sprinted through it in one sitting LOL but I am glad I got to do it :)
ofc I went with the whimsigoth theme... and for Donobhan I wanted to incorporate subtle little touches of Namira with the fly brooches. And then Mephala for Asha, with a sort of spider web necklace and the dagger earring hehe
