What's y'all's weirdest dream? I'll go first:

Heaven was a grocery store where everything was free except the wine

[brucewaynehater101]

Aye. I think about this dream so much. There's more to the dream (a safe room in space, an apocalypse, God being a woman, and the concept of home), but I always get stuck on this detail.

and in the rubble of his empire, laid his greatest failure

so many thoughts about the infamous batarang. i love this damned injury so much i add a batarang scar whenever i can haha

ladies and gentlemen, this singular drawing is why i’ve been dead for a month. i’ve come to the conclusion that i will never finish this & that it’s doing me more harm than good. i do hope you all still enjoy it though!

Honestly, it always really, really confuses me when people say that Bruce isn't abusive, he "just has a complicated/complex dynamic with xyz", before proceeding to list things that are very much abuse.

Like, it makes... no sense to me? I feel like people hear "Bruce is abusive" and immediately jump to the conclusion that we're saying "Bruce is maliciously/intentionally hurting his kids and he can't he changed". When that's not what anyone is saying- at least not me.

And i feel like trying to insist Bruce isn't abusive while waving around these very abusive moments is. Dangerous? Like it's fine if you don't like or disagree with the concept of Bruce being abusive, more power to you and all that, but I feel like it's very blatant abuse apologia to push these things as not abusive.

People have a very weird view on abuse imo. Abuse isn't as clear cut or black and white as a lot of people make it out to be. Abusers can very much love their kids, they can accidentally harm their kids, and abusers can change.

Imo, what makes Bruce's relationship with his kids/Robins so complex IS his abusive tendencies. We know the reasons behind his actions, as well as his motivations, but at the end of the day, he's still abusive. He still emotionally neglected/abused and parentified Dick (and still hit and beat the shit out of him in Nightwing v3 #30, no matter how much nuance you put into it), he also emotionally neglected Jason, verbally abused Stephanie (iirc, i haven't read her Robin run), parentified and emotionally neglected Tim, and verbally abused and emotionally neglected Damian. None of this was done with the intention to hurt them, but Bruce still hurt them. But Bruce loves them DEEPLY- that's part of why he ends up hurting them.

That's... what makes his relationship with them so complex, especially Dick.

And honestly I'm not even sure how to go into how people label clear abuse as not abusive, purely because we know how Bruce thinks and why he does what he does. As I said, really dangerous thing to perpetuate.

This post is probably very scattered and doesn't make a whole lot of sense since I couldn't sleep at all last night, but TL;DR: you can disagree with abusive Bruce, but labeling his canon abusive tendencies as not abuse and only as a 'complex relationship' isn't the win you think it is and only comes off as abuse apologia.

Hey... In case y'all were wondering:

[brucewaynehater101]

batman is an optimist. how much must i shout this fact into the void that is the internet before people realize. he is the biggest optimist in the universe. he is so insufferably compassionate, he is delusionally kind, his worldview is somehow more catholic than matt murdock because he believes in redemption even when hes lost everything over and over and over. gotham is a shithole that deserves to burn, rent is dirt cheap because nobody sane will live there by choice, and it’s crowning achievement is being the home to the biggest max security asylum on earth staffed by people so corrupt that villains escape every other day. and this stupid boy wrapped his mothers broken pearls around his fists like prayer beads and goes out to get his shit rocked every night for the past 20 years because he fell head over heels in love with said shithole city and its garbage residents, funnelling his wealth into the pit of endless greed because he hopes that a few cents will reach the pockets of those who need it

[brucewaynehater101]

Just in case y'all were wondering what Tim looks like in comparison to some of the others:

I vote his hero name is "Larry" or something.

I raise you really tall tim drake. (This mostly comes from being tired of the uwufication/twinkfication/babyfication that some fans give tim. Kinda hate that)

Tim is currently 17yo. At 18 he is tired of his so called family, Dick only cares about damian, jason always bickers around him. Bruce is bad at parenting as always... so he leaves gotham city.

At 18 he starts getting growth spurts. (Males stop around 23 or so) and Tim is half thrilled half mad because he now is stumbling. Also it hurts like hell. He goes to a doctor approved by the jl, because getting tall so suddenly and at that age can mean something bad is going on inside. Then he goes to magic users. But nothing gives bad results. So he is just getting taller and his clothes no longer fit him neither his custome. And he cannot get another inmediately because he keeps growing. So he is benched by his friends for like half a year and Tim is mad. He stops at 6'5 when he hits 21 (up to you how taller are bruce and jason) and finds himself as the tallest in his family. He has to train everything again as his body is no longer the same.

Just Tim getting tall as a treat.

(I agree about the uwu-ing of Tim Drake not being my flavor of fic. It's why I avoid a *lot* of the "Tim Drake Joins the Batfamily Early" tag. There are some very good Kid Tim Drake fics, but there's also a tendency to uwu him in that tag. I don't mind Tim being pathetic as long as he's also badass :( He can be both, y'all!!!)

Anyways!!!! Tall Tim Drake!

I do love him being a short king, but him being tall is a rare treat ^^

To add onto this AU, the batfam try to drag him back to Gotham after 3-4 years. To be nice to Tim, we'll say he's had to chance to grow more accustomed to his body and is a formidable fighter (no more of the awkward stumbling he struggled with while adjusting).

Let's say Jason is 6'3", Bruce is 6'1", and Dick is 6'0". Damian has grown in those three years. Since the age gap between Tim and Damian fluctuates, let's say Damian is 15 at 5'11". Damian was looking forward to lording his height over Tim (not in a mean way. More like teasing).

Tim goes back to Gotham for some world-ending event or whatnot, and it's the first time they Bats have seen him in years. They're expecting a slightly more mature looking 5'6" 21 years old [And also, poor fucking Tim. Nearly a foot of height in 3 years?? Ow].

What do they actually end up seeing?

Since Tim is there for hero work, they meet him in his vigilante getup.

Tim learned from Bruce that intimidation works wonders on Batman's foes. Tim learned from Dick that there are multiple ways to intimidate someone.

So, doesn't bulk up. He doesn't add fake muscles or thick armor. He studies fashion design and the subtle ways it can influence people's perception. He's naturally 6'5" and a lithe guy. He makes those intrinic qualities work *for* him rather than against him.

He wears 4 inch platform boots and tricks the eyes (with his fashion design) to make him look even slender.

Suffice to say, Tim shows up to meet with the bats and appears as a tall fucking cryptid.

Tim rolling up to the Bats all like:

[brucewaynehater101]

I have the desire to write a one-shot where Tim gets pushed to the absolute brink and just snaps.

The result?

Him hysterically, joyfully howling with laughter at the sight of all his loved ones dying :)

i've been rereading nightwing 1996 and even though i'm >100 issues past it i am still thinking about issue 14

dick doesn't think bruce trusts him to watch bludhaven. he thinks he's over trying to live up to batman's expectations (he isn't over it) and he's pissed that after deciding that bludhaven was his city, bruce is coming in and taking over.

[ALT: text of dick grayson saying "i know why you're here. you don't want bludhaven's problems spreading up to your precious gotham. and you don't trust me to contain this."]

because bruce just shows up and kicks ass after dick said no when he asked if he needed help.

and later on in the issue he mentions that it relates to how bruce chose jean-paul over him to become batman, because he thinks that bruce thinks that he still isn't good enough for him, because he's still trying to prove himself to bruce.

(also this screenshot that makes me wacko crazy because they are so much like each other. but that's a post for another time.)

[ALT: dick grayson saying "even after everything we've been through.. why can't we connect? why are we always like this?"]

and then bruce shows back up in bludhaven using matches malone and says THIS

[ALT: bruce wayne saying "he doesn't really need my help but i like to look out for him. y'know?"]

AFTER ALL OF THAT

BRUCE WAS JUST CHECKING UP ON HIS SON

he just wanted to make sure he was ok... he wanted to make sure he was safe but because he Cannot Fucking Communicate dick thought he just didn't believe in him

they make me so upset i love them so much they know everything about the other but when it comes down to it they don't understand each other they are so similar and yet so different in some ways and at the end of the day they both know more about the other than anyone

(and dick is still scared of ending up exactly like bruce and sees more of bruce in himself than he'd like to see)

I'm dying. Gotham has an Ancient Egypt themed club called "Queen of Denial".

[brucewaynehater101]

As Damian’s 16th birthday approaches, Tim gets more and more anxious. He spends more and more time with Damian, until they’re almost attached at the hip. Offers, with a tone of suppressed desperation that does not suffice to make Damian agree, to take Damian out of the country for his birthday. Starts to stand firmly in between Bruce and Damian every time they’re in the same room, twitching every time Bruce moves toward them.

Damian’s 16th birthday passes without incident, if you don’t count Tim hovering at his shoulder the entire time, armed, checking every present before letting Damian take it.

Tim is staring at the clock as it hits midnight, and his body goes almost limp, the constantly-held tension of weeks dropping. Then his face fills with confusion. Then goes blank. He leaves, with the party still in swing, and Damian feels the absence at his side immediately, the spot just behind him that he’s grown used to having a protective presence in finally empty.

No one sees Tim for weeks.

[brucewaynehater101]

So, y'all... The Witcher fandom has stolen my soul in demands of a fic.

Yay ^^

Anyways, I personally feel that the show did *not* cover Jaskier and Geralt's years together adequately enough (to the point I initially didn't even realize 22 years had passed during those 5 or so episodes).

Therefore: I'm writing a fic of a bunch of moments/scenes between Jaskier and Geralt with the end goal of them in an open relationship together :)

If you have any ideas of scenes you'd like to see written, feel free to let me know! They can be sad, funny, happy, comforting, scary, whatever. It's just gotta be before The Mountain

No guarantees that I'll write those scenes, but it's also possible I will! I want to show their relationship more, lmao. Just an offer for those interested!

[brucewaynehater101]

Me, an aroace, trying to figure out how to write sexual tension in a scene:

[brucewaynehater101]

I hc damian as a short king actually, he has something in his spine right? That definitely will affect his growth rate... also imagine a short Batman. Still very deadly but in a smaller package.

Fuck... I read this one fic that did address the idea that Damian's growth is stunted due to the shit in his spine. I don't remember enough about the rest of the fic to be able to recommend it :(

However, your hc logically makes sense. I don't know science enough, but I'm curious how much Damian could or would grow when the spine thing is taken into account. How short are we talking here? Are we chatting about him being around 5'4" and kicking ass as Batman (although I personally think Damian shouldn't be Batman so he can make his own path in life)?
