#And becomes a vigilante anyways

[aingeal98]

If Duke had no real knowledge of the bats or influence from batman and robin, but chose to become a hero anyway once he got powers, what would he choose as his codename?

Dick: The Titans don't want me to be their leader. :(

Bruce *who already has put in the Justice League plans and systems that if anything happens to him, Dick becomes the leader, even tho Batman isn't the unique leader of the JL*: Making mistakes is an important part of growing up.

love seeing people react to Vi becoming a cop like "Oh my god this is so out of character!! What's going on!" When it was not, and that was the point, I fear.

I would actually kind of like the “becomes a doctor and takes over Leslie’s clinic” story…for Damian.

NOT because I think it would be ~ethical~ or idk whatever-the-fuck.

I just really love the concept of Damian having this “I HAVE A BIG IMPORTANT DESTINY” backstory/lineage/bloodline …

…SON OF THE BAT, and all that jazz…

But when he connects with Gotham and the people in it—because Batman should be connected to the people he’s protecting—Damian realizes that he doesn’t actually WANT “his” destiny.

And it’s not about rejecting Batman or his father or his mother or anything like that, but instead about taking what he’s learned and what they’ve given him and shaping it to fit himself.

bnha au except the league is a theatre troupe. they all have the same backstories as canon.

Toph becoming a cop is the same level of bullshit as Harry Potter becoming an auror send tweet

Once again I read fanfiction that seems to have been precisely written to deal psychic damage to me.

Been thinking about mha x batman crossover so I drew Izuku as all the robins. If I were to do a comic/fic of a robins mind being swapped with Izukus in MHA, who would it be? I’m thinking Tim would be the most interesting to be Izuku but Dick and Jason are cool too.

I couldn't exactly get what I wanted for Halloween done, sooo you're getting some OC stuff.

Her name is Salomé, and she's been 11 for twelve thousand years.

Happy Halloween.

i don't involve myself in the "how dare scorsese say that comic book movies aren't high cinema" because he's just unambiguously right (and i say that as someone who enjoys comics and liked watching the batman) but the funniest part of all the people trying desperately to refute him with "chris nolan directed batman movies" is that a) he was allowed to keep his own style and distinction which is a Big sticking point in the discussion of how fucking bland mcu stuff looks right now and b) nolan's batman movies are good as movies, but they absolutely fucking suck as batman movies specifically so the whole point is kinda moot anyway

okay i have more to say about the batman

when alfred’s in the hospital telling bruce about how falcone might be responsible for thomas and martha’s murder and he says "if you don't think i've spent every day searching for that answer...it was my job to protect them. do you understand?”

this is the first time i realized that this loss was alfred's also. i always think of the waynes' unsolved murder as this thing that happened to bruce, specifically, a tragedy that is His. and it is, moreso than anyone else’s--they were his parents, and he watched them die—but we're rarely shown that this was a defining moment in alfred's life and psyche also.

alfred (at least in this film) has been obsessed, adrift in this grief and confusion for just as long as bruce has. he has thought about it every day for years, just like bruce has. why didn't alfred become batman instead, so to speak, long before bruce ever thought of it? it’s implied that he already had a background that would lend itself to being a vigilante, he wouldn't have had to train and study for a decade or two like bruce did. he had, arguably, access to the same resources that bruce would later use to fund "the gotham project." 

aside from the fact that they're obviously different people who would respond differently to the same event, one major factor is that alfred couldn't devote his life to vengeance and crime-fighting because he suddenly had a kid to take care of. (do you see where i'm going with this.) 

sure, he was haunted by the deaths of two people he cared deeply about, deaths he felt responsible for, and sure, he probably would have liked to do something about it, to avenge the murder of his friends, but he also had their son, sniffling in the backseat on the drive home from the funeral. alfred  says he could see the fear in bruce’s eyes. this boy alfred has always loved, but never expected to raise, this boy who's too sad to eat and has barely gone outside in days, alfred has to look after him, try to help him. he can't lock himself into his tragedy forever, because bruce needs him.

anyway that's what robin means. that's why robin is so important to the character of batman. bye

Thinking about an AU where The Operator transports the gang as lil kiddins into the middle of season three, and now Tim and Jay have to look after this gaggle of kids

Society if instead of tying MCU Spider-Man to the Avengers, they had him connect with the Defenders instead.

Hey Red, what actually happened with Eri in TLWA?

*platonically kisses your forehead and brushes back your hair* Lox always coming through for me.

Just a general FYI that I have So Much Background Lore on TLWA verse and will gleefully talk about it at anytime to anyone who shows the slightest interest.

Anyway! I made the decision early on in planning that the Raid arc would fail. The Shie Hassaikai arc was maybe hmm 1-2 months following All Might's (at the time not publicly known) death. Only a dozen people know AM is dead and a handful know about OFA and Izuku being its intended successor. Nighteye reacts to the death poorly and takes it out on Izuku who is NOT invited to his agency. Not to get sidetracked but I also really liked how that disagreement unfurled with Mirio finding out that Nighteye had been grooming him to replace AM and was unhappy Mido was chosen instead. This is what leads to Mirio leaving Nighteye's agency and developing a close, almost brotherly bond with Izuku.

Anywayyy, I needed Nighteye to fail to demonstrate the difference btw him and Izuku in Toshinori's life. Thus, Eri and Chisake get away. It's the first of a many unsuccessful jobs by Nighteye who has lost the heart for it but also, he didn't adapt to the loss of AM, couldn't see the world changing beyond his hero. He retired in disgrace not long after Izuku is named Symbol of Peace in Rise Up.

Gosh I keep getting sidetracked, Eri stayed with Chisake a few more, miserable, painful years. It sad and tragic but Eri eventually learns no one is going to save her so she has to save herself. It takes planning and perfect timing but one day, when Chisake was torturing her as always, he slipped and she was able to permanently rewind him. She flees. In the meantime, Chisake was now devoted all of his time to the quirk destroying bullets recognizing it as the game changer they are. There's now thousands of vials but, with the primary ingredient (Eri) gone, its now a limited supply. A bunch of ineffective, temporary knockoffs flood the market.

Eri is probably about 8ish? And lives rough for a while, she is forced to use her quirk just to survive and stay out of enemy hands. She is eventually taken in by a group of runaway/abandoned kids who band together and protect each other. It was there, through trial, error and practice she finally gets her quirk under control. She is used at first to run chores, to being the distraction as the cute kid to full on participating in petty theft and such to stay alive. She still fears the retribution of the 8 Precepts and doesn't want to go public so she stays in the underground.

She grows up, stronger and more confident but also bitter and jaded that no one helped her. She's against heroes, not in a villain way but in a 'they can't really help anyway'. In between her small crimes, she does little acts of vigilantism here and there, bc she can't stand to see someone mistreated in front of her, will not ignore suffering. On one of these bursts, she runs into the hero Deku, who's just opened his own agency. Queue a messy, several year long back and forth where Izuku tries to help her and she refuses it, untrusting of his intentions.

But she pays attention to the work he does, how he treats people. He even encourages her vigilantism by giving her info on things he legally can't meddle with. She doesn't quite trust him but she does respect him. She is an angry stray cat he can occasionally get to take a few scraps of love out of his hand. He offered her numerous times to get her legally in the system, to foster her and she never can never accept. She is happy, acting in her own capacity for herself. Just knowing that there are heroes out there like him, it gives her a bit more faith in people. She is happy and fiercely loyal to her people. Maybe someday, she'll want the stability of a normal life but for now, answering to no one and working through her own anger and grief through saving others is what she needs.

Her reputation grows, quietly and under the radar as a silent but incredibly effective vigilante who works the areas no one else does. The police are baffled, Deku has no comment on the matter but he does know this teen who is really kind and really powerful who wishes he had been able to save. But in the end while it wasn't okay, she survived and saved her. And now she's doing the same to other lost boys and girls.
