Sparring sessions with Damian would be the worst. He's constantly mocking you, trying to make you lose your edge. And he's quick too, dancing around any punches or kicks you throw. Even when it's obvious you won't win the spar, he still doesn't take you down. He'll let you keep going. Keep struggling till you're a sweaty and exhausted mess.
That's when he'll pounce. Pins you down to the sparring mats, his body straddling yours. You try to buck him off. He just thrusts his hips back down into yours. The bulge in his sweats pressing against you has the fight in you disappearing like smoke. You look up at him, confused, and he merely smirks back down at you.
"Not going to tap out?"
You do, hand tapping the training mat, even as you stare into his emerald green eyes. You don't think you could look away even if you tried.
"Hm, but I think I've earned my reward, don't you?"
It doesn't really matter what your answer is, does it? He likes it when you struggle, after all.
You know, i've been thinking about the way Batman keeps danger and weapons so close to his body, so tight to himself, practically tied around his neck, that joker often has no way left but to grab for him if he wants something Batman has. Batman does not want to be left out of Joker's plans, his story, he wants in on Joker's narrative by any means he can make it happen. It's such particular "you take me with you wherever you are, it's your punishment, just as it's my punishment to take you with me wherever i am" statement. Batman actively leaves no choice for Joker but to get very very close to him and claim him as part of his win or his loss. I mean,
he didn't have to. he could've put the key in one of his waist pouches, push it into the back of his left boot, he could've tied it around his bicep, i dont care— he could've done whateverthefuck with it. But he had to put it around his neck, and intentionally invite Joker to "come and get it". Something something classic cliche of the way lovers' bond is signified by a necklace-adjacent item and the way they interact with it; hold unto it, toss it, tie it around their necks, giving it back, not giving it back, necklaces as items of reverance and revenge. Something something a tie around neck being a sign of being claimed and owned,
Recently I've noticed that people have been drawing my monster dca designs (e.g. cryptid Eclipse and moth Moon) without giving me credit or mentioning me. I want to make it clear that I want to be credited when you draw my designs.
I've worked very hard on all of them (especially cryptid Eclipse who I've spent a large part of this year designing) and they're all very important to me.
Seeing the designs being used without credit is honestly very disheartening and demotivating.. so please, if you draw them (which I'm completely fine with btw!) please credit me.
My favourite thing about Merlin and Arthur’s relationship is that even from the very start you could tell Arthur was at least interested about who Merlin is.
Arthur is trying to act all high and mighty but sounds almost amused and surprised when he tells Merlin “You can’t address me like that” because that’s probably the first time anyone of a lower status than him has ever stood up to him. This random kid he’s never seen before basically showed up and acted like he was just any random person and part Arthur actually enjoyed that because he was treating him normally.

Man I love Lucifer because the fandom is like "oh he's just a little guy with depression" but I missed. the depression part? Like no I absolutely get this man Is Not neurotypical, right. But, like. I kinda. Missed the Memo.
I also have depression. But I also have autism. So I took one look at him trying to answer the fucking phone and went "yeah he's my autistic ass fr" and then it only got more mecore as the episode went on.
COME TO REALIZE
WE HAVE A LOT MORE IN COMMON IN CANON THAN I THOUGHT?
Man is self isolating, he's doing that One Thing that Kinda makes him Happy, he barely knows what's going on with his loved ones and god don't get me started on His Disassociation
I. felt that? I felt all that. There's so little projecting I NEED to do onto him because it's already canon. And that realization kinda fucked me up? Because like. On one hand, that's great writing. But on the OTHER, I'M FUCKED UP AND SO IS EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS TWINK ASS DILF AS THEIR PROFILE PICTURE /lh
