I am convinced that World's Finest (Batman and Superman) was a way for writers to put two men in a healthy, romantic relationship but since it was the 40's, people weren't ready for a queer couple. That's my head canon at least
he wanted to rake his fingers through dark, soft hair. He wanted to drag his lips against the pale, untouched skin on his neck. Did he want to bite? Would Bruce want him to bite? He thinks in this moment, he'd be close to doing anything Bruce asked him to. He was just a man, afterall.
since we've got a jiro resurgence taking place on normie twitter
and another very talented artist siking the fandom out with a seamless comic panel edit
time for a quick history/etiquette reminder
history: jiro is often viewed as one of the founding pillars of superbat as a ship. they produced a number of doujins/fanbooks (some of which can be found on certain scanlation sites, as well as resale markets, if you know where to look) until they were caught in overseas censorship crackdowns and they were sadly forced offline for their own safety years ago. they haven't reappeared or been heard from since, to my knowledge. (sidebar: artist greg capullo's stylistic similarities to jiro often result in people mistaking one for the other and the "greg capullo is secretly a bara artist that draws superbat yaoi when he's not contracted by dc" running joke is one of my favorites~)
etiquette: it's very tempting to just post whatever shiny/exciting thing you just came across, but before you do so, please try to do a bit of digging to see if it actually belongs to someone. stride/axuan does not appreciate having their work reposted, and neither do most other artists. a simple reverse image search will often lead you to the original creator of the uncredited/reposted piece that caught your attention and you can retweet/reblog/etc directly from them!
a lot of us have been here for a very long time and are happy to share our collective fannish knowledge with curious newcomers...all you need to do is ask! ❤️
DCEU Superbat had the most delicious, interesting dynamic and it is a crime people just fucking ignored it or think it was unintentional, when it was made by known manlover zachary edward snyder. actually you know what, i know why people ignored it. it's because zack loves superman more than he does batman, and it shows in the movies. superbats fucking love bullying superman for no reason, that's why it didn't resonate with them

☆ The sunflower [General Audience - Digital Art] by vkfarenheit
Summary: "Har har. The Count loves to count everything. And, Google says that Slavic vampires used to be stopped by throwing rice on the ground to make them stop and count it. Do you?"
Even though the eyes in the cowl could not actually move, it always felt like it did when Batman scowled. "This is your research materials, preschool public television and Google? I'm surprised that you didn't consult Wikipedia as a primary source."
☆ The Man who had Everything [Mature - 70,000 w] by AmaryllisBelladonnaAmaryllidoideae
Summary: “Conner—.” Clark hugged the teen, who was now loudly sobbing.
“How can you stand it?! I’m too afraid to touch anyone because I might kill them!”
“I know it might sound hard to believe, but it will get better over time.” The hybrid looked at him in disbelief. “If you are anything like me when I got my powers, you are capable of micro-movements, but your body can’t execute them automatically or at will yet. It takes time to get used to it. First, find something precious to you, something you hold dear. After that, it’s easier for your reflexes to figure out how to treat it gently. And then practice with it till you get the hang of it.”
I think this is the longest I took to draw a ship I've been obsessively reading fics for (8 months), I don't agree with most of the dceu movies but the enemies to lovers is so...
