quinn. 29. infp. leo. pansexual. they/he. anglophile. horror lover. too many movies and tv shows to name.

One day, Clark is bored at work so he messages Bruce saying as much, hoping they could talk for a bit to help pass the time.

What he did not expect was for Bruce to tweet 'ostriches arn't real'.

The office becomes alive with activity. Perry marches over and tells Clark to write an article about how one of the richest men in the world does not believe a bird exists.

The interview?

Clark Kent: "Would you care to elaborate on what you meant about not believing ostriches exist?"

Bruce Wayne: "No."

Others then ask Bruce what his thoughts on other birds are. Penguins? Real. Flamingos? Not real. Pigeons? Some are, some arn't. It depends.

On the upside Clark's afternoon became a whole lot less boring. On the downside there is now a Twitter account called 'BirdsBruceWThinksArntReal'.

“robins?” clark asks as the last question.  “robins aren’t birds.”

“well if sexuality isn’t defined by attraction to biological sex then what is it???????”

vibes. this is not a joke. it’s literally vibes.

when you look at someone and find them attractive, you don’t know what genitals they have or what gender they are. you might assume, but you don’t know. you are going off aesthetics and vibes.

another reason it’s all about the vibes is because it’s very common for queer men to mostly be attracted to other queer men, and queer women to be attracted to other queer women, and just queer people in general seeking each other out, based on the aesthetic and cultural tells we’ve curated over decades (centuries even.) we’ve gotten really good at finding each other.

though honestly, and this may be a hot take, i don’t think sexuality is about initial attraction. i don’t think it’s about who you look at on the street and think is hot. otherwise any lesbian who saw a femme twink on the street and accidentally thought he was hot and vise versa would probably be bullied by the internet into identifying as bi.

i think it’s about what kind of person you see yourself with and what kind of dynamic you want to have with that person. are you a femme who absolutely loves the idea of settling down with a nice butch? are you a trans guy who sees yourself connecting mostly with other trans guys? are you a gay guy who loves bears? what do you like to do in your free time and what other demographics tend to be into that? clubbing? roller derby? dnd? what kind of sex do you most enjoy having? do you prefer not to have sex? do you prefer sex without the expectation of romantic attraction?

what kind of life do you want and what kind of person do you want that life with? that’s what it’s about, not what someone has in their pants.

Hey is anybody having trouble with those Captcha test things lately? Mine are getting kinda weird and I’m even not too sure what to click on

Hi, a few people accused this of being AI generated and I would like to point out I actually painted this— it was inspired by how fucked up AI generated captcha images look, of course, but the final result was hand-drawn. Don’t mind that I have over 200 layers on this thing haha my painting process is a disaster

I appreciate the people reassuring me in the comments so much haha but don’t worry I wasn’t upset! I found it funny + it was an understandable mistake anyway since I was deliberately trying to imitate that vibe, just wanted to clear up that it was art because I evidently forgot to when I initially posted it

Oh yeah, extra details: the rock/leaf litter textures I used for the ground are actually static grain taken from MRI brain scans I had done years ago
