I love how unnecessarily pretty Bruce is when Brian Apthorp draws him. Just LOOK at how shiny his hair is.

learning that ofc means ‘of fucking course’ is such bullshit. she’s ‘ofcourse’ to me

Okay. I’ll say it.

I think bio parent aus are terrible and I don’t get the appeal. There’s basically nothing in it other than contrived “gasp. You’re my mom/dad” or sappy fluff that apparently only displays that biological families deserve all the warmth and affection, bc the canon adopted family that already exists isn’t good enough somehow. At best, it’s a soap opera idea and at worst it’s literally whitewashing poc characters in favor of whiter parents.

Just saw a post abt Cass being made white forcibly w/ Bruce/Clark as her bio parents. I know I’ve seen more than one fic of Selina being Damian’s Bio Parent (thus making him fully white, bc many fanon writers don’t acknowledge Selina’s history of being black/biracial in several continuities/medias).

Or, alternatively, racebending canonically white characters to make them poc/ethnic — as seen with Jason-Cass twin fics or Tim-Cass twin fics or various aus where random characters are made al Ghuls (cough, Danny Phantom.) Not saying you can’t headcanon Tim or Jason as poc to personally represent yourself, but the specific scenario where they have to be bio-related to Cass (which brings baggage re:her childhood and parents) is very weird to me.

Those kind of aus only serve as major examples how the fandom does not respect adoptive families, and places a lot of weight on biological parentage specifically to change a character’s childhood. Cass or Damian being made fully white is somehow only used to highlight their terrible childhoods when they were poc, and uplift a white family as the ones to give them all the love and fluff and funny scenarios (which they could also get if fic writers wanted to act within canon too. It’s not stopping you.) Tim or Jason being made sons of David Cain/Lady Shiva or even being “manipulated/kidnapped” to be Al Ghuls is only used for stupid character angst and disregards the woman’s involvement in the equation (bypassing the canon SA Shiva went through to have Cass and only adding to the racist depictions of Talia).

Grabs you by the shoulders. Do not. Tag "Series Name" (Comics) on ao3. if you are not writing about that comic. You are doing the devil's work and one day he will want to meet his best employee.
