Writing and I just have... thoughts on the Bruce and Helena parallels. Don the mask. Become someone else. Become what you fear. Become the bat. Become the hunter. This way you're no longer the scared little boy in the alleyway. This way you're no longer the scared little rabbit. Become the savior thay you wished save you. Push people away to protect them. Push people away to protect yourself. Dehumanize yourself. Humanize others. Your body is a double edged blade. You begin with the girl and end with the crossbow. You are a holy warrior in the bowels of hell. You cannot escape your mother's blood. Do you even want to? You don't need anyone. Does anyone need you? Nobody's son. Nobody's daughter.

Also you're two assholes.

#I love the contrast between the huntress'#Helena B has incredibly mixed feelings on her heritage #She loved her family but also she despised what her family represented for others #She knew that if she had lived she would've joined a long list of woman who were somebody's else's possession #Another victim stripped of her identity and personhood #“A kept Mafia princess”#Compared to Helena W who wears her parent's legacy with pride in both identities #In the end it's not just about the Waynes or the Bertinellis but it's also all about them #It's what they represented #Helena does it for revenge #Huntress does it for atonement #ALSO I seee them as the two types personification of the night #Helena represents the feminine personification of the night ala Artemis #Goddess of the hunt and wilderness. Protector of children and women. Bow in one hand ready to pierce an arrow into the heart of predators #Bruce is Hades. He speaks for the dead because no one else can. He rules over the city. Only he can see the beauty in it.#Is this anything? Idk. Everytime I take a break I gotta write something down on here
