You all ever watch a film and one particular song in the soundtrack will now forever be changed in your brain chemistry? Like it’ll be correlated to this particular movie forever?

May I request a Comic Bane x gn/male!reader, oneshot, hc, whatever you wish, but Bane figures out the reader has a bunch of stuffed animals/child-like items, and they get embarrassed over it, but he doesn't care because he has some of his own (Osito)? If not, thank you anyway!

🥺🥺🥺 that's so cute?

I am so so soooo sorry it took me so long to finally write and post this 😭😭😭😭😭😭. A lot has been going on and I have to jump back on the writing train. I wish this was longer and better, but this is the best I could come up with after all these months...😭😭😭

I went with male!reader, but besides the spanish I'd say it's gender neutral.

Plushies

Bane x Male! reader

"Cariño!" the small room of your home left no space for the familiar deep voice to echo through and disperse, causing it to be all that much louder and sharper, making you almost jump out of your skin and hit your head on a shelf above. You didn't expect his arrival so soon after his last visit, but it was a welcome surprise.

Bane walked into the kitchen, "Estoy en casa, amor.", threw his coat and mask over a chair and watched you rubbing your head as you stumbled out of the pantry. "Y/N…" he smiled at you, enveloping you in a warm hug, one you always crave whenever he's around, before massaging the top of your head and giving it a quick kiss, trying to help soothe the pain, "Have I scared you?". "No, of course not.", you mumbled into his neck, earning a chuckle and a few pats on your back.

"Hmm… Of course~." Bane gave your head one more peck, letting go of you soon after and looking around, inhaling deeply, "What are you cooking?". "Oh!" you jumped to the stove, quick to stir the sizzling contents in the pan, "Just some chicken with vegetables, nothing fancy. There's enough for both of us if you're hungry, but it'll still take some time, so you can go and change into something more… civil?". Bane simply nodded, not saying anything, he understood that walking around in his work getup wasn't ideal.

He already had one foot in your occasionally shared bedroom, when you remembered a little insignificantly significant detail. "Hey, it's no big deal, it can wait after we eat." you tugged on his hand, which got his attention, but didn't stop him from stepping inside. "Cariño, está bien, seré rápido." "But-", Bane caressed your cheek "No buts, I'll be right back." and closed the door in your face. There was only left to hope he wouldn't belittle you for your choice of decorations.

He didn't, which should have eased your mind, but he didn't seem to even acknowledge it, which made it seem somewhat worse for you.

You anticipated him to start talking about it after dinner, but you still crept away to shove away the fluffy bears, tigers and rabbits from all over the room, just in case. The only problem was that your house was too small to creep away. "What are you doing?", you jerked for the second time today, only now nearly missing the shelf. You froze like a deer in headlights, "N-nothing, j-just cleaning up!", face turning red, you avoided his gaze and tried to put away the last ones quickly, but your shaking hand was stopped.

Bane took the plushie you were holding, giving it a quick gentle look before putting it back on the shelf, "Why would you put them away?". You looked down at your feet, "It's all silly, I shouldn't have them up in the first place. I shouldn't, it's a sign of softness, I shouldn't have it on display for everyone to see." you mumbled out. "Y/N, cariño," Bane leaned down, tilting your head up with his fingers, "It's not silly, it's adorable, como usted." he whispered before kissing your lips softly, "So put them back.".

After that exchange, the two of you spent together a very lovely couple of days before he had to leave. Time never flew by fast enough when you were apart, but you always made sure to make the most of your shared time. So you only noticed the little guest after Bane left again.

There was an old, scratched and dirty bear, one you have never seen before, one that has clearly been loved, there was a note stuck to it,

'We all need a little softness in our lives, so keep Osito safe.

-Bane'

He's a big guy... for you. It's finally here. At long last. For years, I've waited for that ideal Bane. My favorite Batman villain, favorite Batman character, favorite DC character period. Everything before this has been based on designs I hate, too damn big, or really outdated. Or broken in the case of the last MAFEX Bane I owned, based on his appearance in The Dark Knight Rises. Still, that's movie based. I wanted something that was based on the comics or close enough. Unfortunately, most Bane designs outside the comics deviate in ways I can't stand, like giving him an open mouth/nose mask. I was left without many options.

All that preamble to say: I've been waiting for this one. I love Bane a lot and I love this figure a lot. It's not perfect. The paint is sloppy in some areas, especially the hands. Mine actually came with two right open hands! That stings. Still, he comes with so many options that I don't find myself missing that so much. Also HLJ had my back there and I'll be getting a replacement, woooo.

Everything else, though? Golden. Scale, sculpt, and articulation are all there. He even came with two face options. Both are good, but gimme that angular eyed ANGRY look anytime. Pure Knightfall-based goodness. Osito not included btw, I stole that from a FvJ Jason figure.

Now that I have a great Bane, I'm more open to really getting a solid Batman collection going. I'm not the biggest DC fan, so I'm not out to build a whole universe, but I do like Batman. Also, for any companies listening, I'd be totally down for some good Teen Titans figures too. Those are my two corners of the DCU.

I was playing Batman: Arkham City a couple days ago while I was sick and I had no idea the Riddler just drops the R word, caught me so off guard.

So now here’s a new game!

Who of the Batman villains is allowed to say the R word

Riddler: Canonically true

Joker: Would with no remorse.

Two-Face: He would say it in anger to a goon I imagine.

Penguin: I don’t think he would, it’s too undignified for him.

Catwomen: Would not, I think she respects people enough not to.

Bane: He would insult your physicality, not your mental state.

Poison Ivy: This is a toss up. She might say the human race as a whole is. But a part of me doubts she’d stoop to that level.

Hugo Strange: Yes but only in a clinical way, like start with “mentally…”

Mad hatter: Nahh..unless he can find a good rhyme for it.

Mr. Freeze: I don’t think he’d use it at all. Not the type to sling insults.

Harley Quinn: Yep. No hesitation. She’d ask if you are. Could even hear her calling her hyenas that in a loving way (like my little stupid) .

Clayface: Only for a role.

Ra’s al Ghul: He could say it referring to a group of people. He’d use it in a way that you’d swear he thinks he’s in the 1800s.

Pt. 2

@mostsanescarletspiderfan :

I'm searching for more content. Comics, Movies, Shows, whatever. Feeling overwhelmed from all the branching pieces of media that I thought I'd ask other fans what they like. Especially since the comic world is very new to me and I'd like to organize where i should go next.

@cookiethedragon :

I have only watched the Gotham when it comes to the CW series, I have heard good things about The Flash.

I guess young justice would be the best to watch after Justice League and Unlimited, I'm just worried that it won't click like the other cartoons.

I'll look into Ultimate Spider-Man as well.

Do you know if any of the comics you suggested have physical copies? I like to read it in my hand (i.e. Super Sons & Gotham Academy etc.)

Is there any advice you have for a new fan of comic media? I’ve just been hard hyper fixating on it and realize I haven’t joined a real community or had a place to discuss my thoughts on anything comic related.

I’ve watch BTAS, STAS, Justice league, Justice League Unlimited, Batman beyond, Mask of the Phantasm, and a handful of DC animated movies. (I’ve tried The Batman and Batman brave and the bold but they didn’t hit as hard)

I really like My adventures with Superman but haven’t seen all of it yet.

I have seen the Gotham live action show but got sick of its antics.

I’ve played Batman Arkham Asylum, City, Origins, and Knight.

And for Marvel I’ve seen (but not finished) X-Men, X-Men Evolutions, X-Men 97’.

I’ve seen a majority of the live action movies of both DC and Marvel.

I’ve just recently started collecting the original punisher comics and very fascinated with going to the roots of some of the bigger names.

I’d love to hear others favorites and what recommendations you have for a newbie :D
