≋~≋~≋~≋≋~≋~≋~≋~≋≋~≋~≋~≋~≋~≋~≋~≋~≋~≋≋~≋~≋~≋~≋~≋~≋

after superman announced he was engaged, batman sits at a league computer doing the paperwork that the rest of them (minus diana, cyborg, and a small handful of others) seem to avoid. 

The flash walks up, mask off as he looks down at the tired looking batman, leaning against the console "you okay, bats?" he starts. 

Hal jordon is in the background, watching with diana and cyborg. Hal had tried to talk to batman about the announcement just an hour before, and batman throat punched him for his efforts. 

 Batman didn't look away from the console as he replied

"I'm fine, Flash." 

It was a short and sharp answer, the usual for Batman. 

But Barry, being who he is, could have sworn he heard something underneath the level tone.

“Bruce, I’m sorry if I’m overstepping, but…”

As the flash trailed off his sentence, watching for any indication that he should stop while ahead, Batman’s hands hovered over the keypad

“I thought you liked Clark?”

Barry thought he saw a fraction of a frown at his question

There was another meaning behind the word ‘liked’, of course there was with the way Barry had said it.

Hal leaned closer, almost as if he was waiting for Batman to physically react.

“I’m going to give you some advice, Barry.” Batman started as he stood from the chair.

Batman towered over Flash, so of course, the speedster felt a lump in his throat as Batman stood right in front of him

But Barry saw that, yes; the usual scowl was replaced by a soft frown and through the masks' lenses that usually obscure his eyes, Barry barely noticed the tired look the older man had.

“Sometimes the one you love with your entire being is the one you can never have and best thing that you can do…”

Barry wasn’t prepared for the black gloved hand that gently landed on his shoulder, and he very much wasn’t prepared for Bruce’s next words

“... is to be happy for them, even if it slowly kills you.”

Barry then watched as Bruce Wayne left the League Hall for the night.

Clark, beaming: I'm engaged!

Entire JL meeting room: -eyes quietly shift to an even more emotionless Batman-

-

Priest: if there is a reason these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Entire wedding reception: -eyes shift to look at the Best Man Bruce Wayne-

Imagine being so down bad for your best friend that the second he announces his engagement and it’s not to you, all of your friends and colleagues are instantly giving bewildered side eye 🤣 like Bruce you are never beating the superbat allegations

Busy Day, But At Least Got This Sketch Of The Small Green Fam Out. Still Very Much In The Process Of

Busy day, but at least got this sketch of the small green fam out. Still very much in the process of refinement.

(Guess here it’s been a while since Boulder held Oaken or something along those lines (at least in his holomatter(?) form.)

this is the best thing i have ever seen and i need more of this in my life.

if i wanted to write a short story, would you be mad?

Onyx Prime Cody au ideas

1. Sigma 17 was sent to griffon rock to find the reincarnation of Onyx Prime and dont realise hes right under their nose until one day in frusteration they list off what theyre looking for to brainstorm and are like "Oh scrap wait we're stupid."

2. Cody draws in misfits and exceptionals. No one knows he's Onyx prime but Optimus has a strong hunch. Everyone around Cody has inclinations towards Onyx-like qualities. The kind and sweet natures of everyone. Heatwave's possible future vision seems similar to Onyx's visions. So when Optimus was like "Yep we can turn onto Dinosaurs" it might have been a test if the beast qualities of Onyx manifested as well. Theyre a fated bunch and destined for much.

superbat fic idea: bruce and clark started dating before they knew about each other's identify and the batkids are overprotective of bruce so they tried to make clark's life miserable by sabotaging clark in ways that might be a bit too extreme at some point.

like, this one time clark came over for dinner jason put a whole bottle of laxatives in clark's food and clark ofc could tell that his food was tempered with in some way but he was so nervous he ended up eating the whole thing and ofc nothing happened to him so clark was like "oh thank god" and jason was like "what the everloving fuck" he wished he had gone with poison

another time clark came over damian hid a bunch of needles in a cushion and made sure clark sat on it bcus this is damian we're talking about he had no idea what is extreme and what's not. but then clark sat down like nothing was amiss and when damian checked it after clark went home the needles were all bent in different angles. he knew he should've put the katana instead.

or, tim hacked clark's phone to find some dirt on him bcus the background check didn't reveal anything remarkable. except he ended up seeing a bunch of bruce's noods and scarred himself for life. he might or might not have deleted some of the more scandalous pictures. and bruce might have bought clark a new phone with better security. all in all, tim would never go anywhere near clark's phone again

when every single one of their plans failed or backfired they roped dick into it and the next time clark came over while bruce wasn't there they locked him in the library and threw in a can of tear gas and smoke bomb. what they find was a very anxious clark hovering three feet above ground level pulling the heavy library doors off its hinges and frantically searching for the kids bcus he thought someone was attacking them and his first instinct was to protect bruce's children. he was still holding onto those bigass doors like they weighed nothing

so that's how they find out that bruce was dating superman

Never got the chance to get into Rescue bots so,, how about (as a request), your choice of human character finding out from your choice of rescue bot, about Team Prime and what Team Prime's doing on Earth while Rescue Bots are here doing their jobs. Or learning something about TFP cons

As serious or silly as you like, no pressure

Welcome to tumblr :D

hiya! ooo this idea seems cool!

if you have the time, i totally recommend rescue bots! especially since its connected to TFP and RiD2015.

Maybe the humans of team prime find their way to the rescue bots hehe, thank you for the request! (and for the welcome!)

noah and mirage is making me go crazy.. i have an elaborate fic idea where noah dates mirage’s holoform but didn’t find out till later. im not much of a writer so this is the best i could do

it would be amazing if someone else could rewrite/cleanup this idea because im honestly not doing it justice

————————

Noah is a closeted gay man living in the 90’s and yearns to be with someone romantically. Mirage could tell by the way Noah looks at loving couples in public, especially during their leisure rides. A part of Mirage wishes he could be that for Noah but its hard especially since he is an alien robot much much bigger than Noah. He isn’t too sure how Noah would feel if he knew how he felt.

One day, mirage was looking through some magazine Noah brought and had an idea of creating the ideal holoform that could be with Noah. That could share comfort and love with.

It was all going so well. it started with a little meet cute and it became more, they started dating and sharing secret kisses in public. Mirage thought it was what he wanted. He thought he would be satisfied, but he never felt more lonely. the more time Noah spent with the holoform, the lesser time he did with mirage.

But he pushed through. he knew he couldn’t experience normal human dates with Noah in his alt form, so he took advantage of what he could.

.

He slipped up. He mentioned Peru during one of their human dates in his holoform and a sudden realization just hit Noah. Everything came crashing down. He left, trying to find mirage.

He was questioning everything they had went through together. Was what they had ever real? Was this some joke? Was he fated to never fall in love?

His head was spiraling into confusion and anger and he marched up to Mirage, eyes puffy and red as tears dripped down his cheeks He screamed and cried, begging mirage to explain why he did so. He wanted to know why. he wanted to know if this prank was funny to mirage. He wanted to know if it was all worth it, especially after breaking his heart.

After his rage has calmed, Mirage admits that he created the holoform with be with Noah, but it was not to play with his heart. He wanted to be with Noah, he yearned having Noah by his side and creating a holoform was the closest he could get. he admitted everything and assured Noah that what he said and did through his holoform was 100% genuine.

Noah’s sobs were calmer as he looked at Mirage with his tired eyes. He didn’t know what to say. Deep down he knew he had some feelings for the alien robot but it was already hard to process his feelings as a gay man, so he pushed those feelings away. Being with Mirages’s holoform, which he didn’t know before, made it easier for him to move on because it felt normal. But now knowing it was mirage all along..he felt a little confused.

Noah admits to himself that being with ‘him’ was the best thing that ever happened to his life. He wanted to experience that again. He wanted to love and feel loved, with someone real this time.

Someone who was already right under his nose. or perhaps above his head in this sense.

Meanwhile, Mirage waits for an answer. Despite what Noah will say, Mirage chooses to respect it. He understands and doesn’t want to push any more boundaries. He doesn’t want to lose his friend. his friend which made his life on earth more exciting than it has ever been during his 7 years being stuck on this planet.

Noah finally speaks. He asks mirage to lean closer with his meekly voice, quiet and dry after sobbing his heart out.

Mirage complies and waits for Noah’s rejection. Instead he received a soft peck on his lips, which made his engine fan whir loudly. Noah smiles earnestly as he places his hand on mirage’s cheek.

Noah rested his forehead on mirage’s and they both stayed silent as they embrace each other’s presence.

No words were said but everything felt right when they were together.

Yes I’m looking at them disrespectfully. I’m also looking at them asexually. They can coexist.
