I really need fanfic writers to never ever touch the words big, bro, sis, and every variation of those words together when having siblings refer to each other. Please stop, no actual sibling calls each other that in english

I was thinking about the fanon thing for Mandalorians that when they get married they swap armour pieces and I was reading something where someone said it just wouln't make sense when you really think about it because you would need an armourer since its all fitted for your body exactly. Which then got me thinking of kids, so there are definitely like a ton of Mandolorian kids that need armour especially after the planet is uninhabitable and beskar is not as plentiful. And since they would already need an armourer, what if parents passed down a piece of beskar armour to their child. I just think it would be sweet.

To tear, to rend

The first awful days After are a blur.

He barely remembers returning to Gotham. He has snatches of memory of tearing apart the cave, vague notions of destructive rage, but nothing concrete.

Alfred is the one who calls the rabbi, who covers the mirrors and hosts the Shiva and organizes the funeral. Alfred is the one who gently presses the black ribbon into his hand, though Bruce forces himself to make the tear himself, one small cut on the left to mirror the ocean of grief in his heart.

He wears it for the full thirty days, doesn't even think about taking it off after the first seven. He doesn't wear it visibly, of course - even in the depths of his grief he knows better than to remind the Gotham elites that the Waynes have never been proper God-fearing Christians like the rest of them. Instead, he wears it pinned to the inside of his suit jacket, and he presses on it sometimes to remind himself it's there.

By the time thirty days are up the city is in chaos. Batman's absence has been noticed, especially without Nightwing or Robin making appearances either.

On the 31st day, Bruce forces himself to go down to the cave and suit up; it's only once he's standing half-naked with his underlayer in hand that he notices the rip down the middle of the bat symbol.

He doesn't remember doing it, although he must have. Alfred, dealing with his own grief and trying to manage Bruce's, has not been down to the cave since the first night, and Dick is still off-world.

Bruce stares at it for a few minutes, frozen, before his mind wanders to the ribbon now sitting on his nightstand. It's fitting, he decides: Batman has always been where he puts all of his pain and fear. And besides, Bruce may have to hide his pain for the world, but Batman has no such restrictions.

When Batman makes his first reappearance in over a month it is with a tear down the middle of his symbol, and his pain front and center on his chest.

--

It's not until several months later that he finally stops wearing the torn suit. Tim Drake has been wearing him down for weeks by that point, and after yet another patrol when he comes home bloody - this time from several stab wounds that managed to cut through the suit - he feels Tim's assessing gaze following him.

When he goes downstairs to get ready a few weeks later, there's a new suit waiting for him. The torn bat is gone, but in its place is a darker version, without the bright yellow background Dick and Jason used to tease him about. Bruce bows his head and breathes through the pain, then forces himself upright. He emerges in the new suit to see Tim waiting for him, and he nods at him just once in response to the subtle tilt of his head.

In a few weeks he will light a white candle and say Kaddish. For now, he pulls on his cowl and heads out into the night.

I was thinking about Jewish Bruce Wayne again and it got me thinking about why the dc community refuses to see Bruce Wayne as Jewish (beyond the antisemitism of course) and I was like maybe its because then you could argue that any of his kids he raised are then Jewish (based off the fact that if someone is raised in a Jewish household, with Jewish values makes then Jewish, which is the reason why adoptees don't need to convert), but then I remembered that most of the dc community knows nothing about what it even looks like to be religiously Jewish, let alone what the rules are.

[riversaremeanttobefollowed]

We all know that the reason why Bruce Wayne isn't religiously Jewish is because dc are cowards, but also because many of the community itself is cowards. I personally believe it comes from a lack of knowledge about what it even means to be religious because most of the community is Christian or culturally Christian. So as someone that would probably be considered not religious by Christians, but Religious by most other Jewish people, I think that Bruce Wayne fits in this section of being Jewish.

Bruce can't go to the Synagogue often because of the whole being Batman stuff, but he still goes on the high holidays when he can. He celebrates with the Kane family as well! And Kate would obviously understand if he couldn't come because she's Batwoman! Give me a Bruce Wayne says Yiddish curses. Give me a Batman that has a bunch of Chanukkiot that are just so pretty because they are rich and definitely have a ton. Give me Batfamily shabbat dinners when they are able to. Rest days on Saturday for the Jewish members when they are more members in the Batfam to make it work (and it being a mitzvah when he does have to be Batman on Shabbat because its a mitzvah to save a life). Give me Mezuzot on every entryway. Give me a Bruce Wayne who inherited his mother's seder plates and actually uses them. Give me a Bruce Wayne that says stuff like kein ayin hara before giving good news! Give me a confused Dick Grayson when Bruce insults him (its actually a compliment, but to ward against the evil eye you will say the opposite of what you mean) and then Bruce having to explain after he realizes that Dick has no idea why he just insulted him. Give me a Batman that follows Jewish values (more than he canonically does)

Just because someone ins't actively involved within a wider community of that Religion doesn't mean they aren't Religious! Or at least don't give me a culturally Jewish Bruce Wayne that doesn't do any of this. Thats just you stripping away all the Jewish parts of him.

Bruce Wayne is Jewish and you can't just ignore that

I know a lot of the AUs that have the Shens as twins have Shen Yuan make Shen Jiu better* but I think we have to acknowledge the truth:

Shen Yuan would make Shen Jiu better

BUT

Shen Jiu would make Shen Yuan worse

They are both petty, sarcastic bitches who love to drink the haterade at their core

They wouldn't be "the nice one and the mean one" they would team up to make grown men cry with just a few words

They would be "the mean one who smiles and the mean one who doesn't"

Maaaybe Shen Yuan would get a rep for being the more honest or trustworthy of the two but he wouldn't be the nice one

He'd be the one who only verbally stabs you

I think they would both end up kinder than canon Shen Jiu. (No child abuse on Shen Yuan's watch) but they would be feared

*we're not talking about the other kinds of fics rn

[riversaremeanttobefollowed]

I love this idea

Shen twins or bros au where the Shens go through Qiu Manor and Wu Yanzi together but only Shen Jiu joins Cang Qiong with Yue Qingyuan. Cut to Cang Qiong facing a problem that needs the expertise of a demonic cultivator and Shen Jiu presents the most powerful and elusive demonic cultivator as his brother

...how is it that the demonic cultivator brother is nicer than the one dressed in pastels

I think it would be fucking funny if the al ghuls had a civilian cover and that civilian cover was them being royalty.

The concept of Damian being even richer (publicly) in his maternal family than his paternal one is just so funny to me.

Especially when there can be moments with the richer more “noble like” part of gotham’s children at school going “the fucking prince from blank!!!”

The al ghuls are of course still assassins but are now also publicly royalty would just be so funny to me.

"You've changed"

[riversaremeanttobefollowed]

I keep thinking about leosagi and how it could work within the rise tmnt movie.

Usagi Miyamoto is the uncle of Usagi Yuichi

Both are rabbit yokai

Yuichi was visiting his uncle during the start of the invasion

They were visiting the hidden city since both their homes connect with the portals to the hidden city

Due to various reasons i cant come up with right now, the portals in the hidden city shut down during the invasion, trapping everyone in and out of the rotmnt dimension

Speed forward a long while

Miyamoto died protecting his nephew

He had also been continuing his nephews training to be a samurai like Miyamoto

Yuichi, and Miyamoto before his death, are apart of a group of yokai from the hidden city that have banded together to survive this hellscape.

Yuichi is now in his mid 20s, and so is Leonardo

Raphael has already died at this point btw T-T

Leonardo is the leader of the resistance, as established in canon, or at least I think so. Either way he is the leader of the resistance

The resistance stuff is different than people just trying to survive btw

Casey is a kiddo at this point, like 10 ish, and Leonardo is in charge of him. Cassandra is dead as well T-T

Anyways, Leonardo is in a bit of a pickle trying to fight off the kraang dog monster things while also trying to protect some his people from them when Yuichi comes in and helps him being all cool and stuff while he does

Leonardo thanks Yuichi for helping him out. Yuichi, Leonardo, and their people all head towards the resistance base, though Yuichi’s group aren’t intending to join the resistance

Leonardo and Yuichi talk a lot while they are heading to the base and get along really well. They make each other laugh and bring back bits of their similar personalities that they buried due to living in the hellscape of a future

Eventually Yuichi decides to stay, some of his group stays and some leave

Yuichi and Leonardo keep talking and working together

They fight together very well

Leonardo makes the decision to introduce Yuichi to Casey (age 12 at this point)

Casey likes Yuichi and gives his guardian his blessing

Yuichi and Leonardo start dating

They reveal all their deep dark secrets and guilt to each other, Yuichi about his uncle and accidentally abandoned family and friends, Leonardo about his involvement in the start of the invasion, Raphael’s death, and guilt over not being able to give Casey a good childhood

Leonardo is still not really accepting the fact that hes basically Casey’s parent because he doesn’t want to take away Cassandra’s role as Casey’s mom, but he is still very much Casey’s guardian

Donatello and Michelangelo are here as well of course. Donatello is very curious over the idea of the portals that were used in the hidden city and gets inspired by them to help take down the kraang to make some kind of machine to send them back to the prison dimension. Michelangelo gets inspired for different reasons.

As the years go by more and more people die, including Donatello, April, and Yuichi

The start of the movie happens as usual but with the change of Casey dragging Leonardo with him

Leonardo is too injured to continue on, so Casey grabs some first aid supplies and has to leave Leonardo in a safe place in the sewers. Leonardo goes into brumation because the climate just got very cold incomparison to the bad future and also his injuries

The movie progresses as usual, but ends with Casey revealing that Leonardo actually came through with him and that he needs medical attention

Leonardo is basically in a coma for like a month before waking up

Casey and him have a moment when he wakes up and they finally acknowledge the fact that Leonardo is Casey’s dad

They eventually move out into the hidden city because there are to many memories for Leonardo in the cave with the younger version of himself and his brothers

They find a home in the Japanese section of the hidden city (Leonardo and Casey learned Japanese and a lot of cultural details from/for Yuichi)

Which is where Leonardo meets Miyamoto

I plan on sharing more of this because I still have more ideas but it is 3 am rn and I am T I R E D

I love the concept of Amaterasu's blessed. ie where people with white hair and red eyes are considered blessed by the Uchiha Clans Kami that they worship.

Would they be Kannushi & Miko? and all the different levels of shinto religious occupations.

Would they just be in charge of the Amaterasu shrines and stuff or also Tsukuyomi and Susanoo

I need to know! I need more Uchiha Clan worldbuilding.

[riversaremeanttobefollowed]

@whimsical-metanoia this is fucking hilarious. I see the vision. Please tell me more

okay so like what even is the lineage of the Uchiha Clan, like is Sasuke even directly decended from Madara & Izuna??? Like I asume he is, which does mean either Madara or Izuna has a wife that we have never seen. Or at the very least a child.

I mean it makes sense, Hashirama married Mito and she has all her own lore. So it would make sense that at least one of the Uchiha brothers would be married, right?

The tanto being a gift from Sakumo's wife/Kakashi's mother to Sakumo plays really nicely into the headcanon that she was a samurai. I love that headcanon. She would have hidden the tanto in the sleeves of her kimono as a self defense weapon at home instead of keeping the Katana on her.

The visuals of Kakashi inheriting a weapon from both his dead parents is so satisfyingly angsty.

I just learned that the tanto was usually the knife used to perform seppuku.

A TANTO! The weapon that Hatake Sakumo had! That Kakashi inherited. The son that came across his freshly dead corpse.

Does this mean that whenever Kakashi sees the tanto it reminds him of his father and his death??!!?!

I actually would not be surprised he is the type of character to do that.
