I think what makes so much Superbat content unappealing to me is that it fails to recreate what made Superbat so interesting to me in the first place. It's two of the strangest people ever bonding through their shared experience of absolute grief and loneliness. It's about connecting with someone so different from you just because you're one of the few people who can truly see the other for what they are.

Clark is grieving two sets of his parents (the kents used to be dead fyi) and a world he could never know. He's lonely, and he sees in Bruce a man who can understand and help alleviate his loneliness through understanding and connection. THIS is at the core of why I like superbat. It's not the identity porn, the sun and moon symbolism, or the homoerotic out of context panels (though all those are nice). It's two people desperately reaching out for connection and finding it in a person so unlike themselves yet so similar.
I feel that sometimes Clark's own experiences in regards to his own loss are often sidelined for Bruce's. Bruce's pain is a constant knife in the side that he refuses to pull out because he doesn't want to forget. Clark is a sharp pain that arrives when he's most lonely and vulnerable. One pain isn't greater than the other. They're both learning to cope with it by transforming themselves to help others.
When you strip all that away, it becomes another sunshine x emo love story. Whe you strip all that away, Superbat has nothing that truly separates itself from other ships.
Let me be clear, there is no right or wrong superbat dynamic. This definitely isn't the original one. But this is the most poignant to me because it speaks to something deeper in the human spirit. It's not just a simple "happy go lucky guy nurses sad boy to health" story that I've seen a dozen times. It's two people finding the best of themselves in the other and wanting to treasure that. Because they fit each other...
So for tattoos the thing to remember is that the person doing it is also an artist. You're used to a flat canvas and they're used to a canvas that's not flat and also twists and moves. A good artist will be absolutely happy for you to bring individual elements (lol) you'd like incorporated and then to discuss together how to bring it into a cohesive whole.
YESS IM WELL AWARE!!! tbh this whole thing was just gonna start off as me doing a very quick sketch to give a general idea of what i wanted and then like 23674 ref images, but i started being unsure if there would be a way to get the colors i wanted to work, so i began adding them and before i knew it i was practically rendering the piece AKSHFKJH
THOUGH MY RENDER IS STILL JUST A BASE TBH. there are many things i want in it thats outside my skillset and that i know the tattoo artist would bring to life better than i could, this is all just to help them hopefully see my vision o7 !!

Haven't made an actual render in quite a while so I tried to make one to see if I had become rusty at it. Might be exaggerating it a little but yeah.
This render was inspired by that one post on twitter made by FaskDron. It was around the time where some other person was confused about the characters in the "Triple Baka" video and called Neru "the yellow one". And somehow it resulted in a different trio that was an opposite to the triple baka, called "Triple Chiteki" and consisted of Luka, Defoko and Haku or (in relation to "the yellow one" thing) "the white one".
I pretty liked the concept of the triple chiteki thing. Like for one: "baka" meaning "idiot/fool" and chiteki meaning "intellectual". Both groups consisting of: one vocaloid (Miku/Luka), one utauloid (Teto/Defoko) and one fanloid (Neru/Haku). And YES I know Teto is a SynthV now but I'm from the ancient times where she was just an utau and the "Triple Baka" was also made during those times anyway.

btw every time i say 'oaaough' or some variation of that i am trying to convey this emotion

Zines ("zeens") are small, self-published booklets filled with whatever the creator is passionate about. They can focus on personal stories, niche interests, or even artwork. Unlike traditional publications, zines are informal, handmade, and often deeply personal. They don’t have to be perfect—what matters is the message and creativity behind them.
Zines are powerful tools for sharing ideas, especially when mainstream outlets overlook certain voices or topics
- They’re Accessible: You don’t need fancy equipment or money to make one—just paper, pens, and your imagination
- They Cover What Matters to You: Zines are great for exploring personal experiences, activism, or any quirky interests you’re passionate about
- They Build Community: Zines often connect like-minded people, sparking conversations and creating new relationships
- They Educate and Inspire: Whether it’s about a social cause, a DIY skill, or your favorite band, zines can teach and inspire readers
1. Pick Your Topic: What’s the thing you can’t stop thinking about? That’s your zine idea.
2. Plan Your Pages: Jot down what you want to include—stories, drawings, photos, poems, or collages. Anything goes!
3. Choose a Format: The easiest option is a mini-zine (made from one folded sheet of paper), but you can also staple multiple pages together for a booklet
4. Design Your Layout: Use scissors, glue, markers, and whatever you have on hand. If you prefer digital tools, programs like Canva or even Word work well! I use Procreate
5. Print & Assemble: Make photocopies or print them at home. You can alzojust remake them by hand. Fold, staple, or bind them together however you like
6. Share It: Hand them out to friends, leave them in local spots, or share them online as PDFs
Zines are all about self-expression, so don’t worry about making it perfect—it’s your creation, and that’s what matters. Invite friends to contribute, try different styles, and most importantly, have fun with it.
