W - Witness - What do they consider the best thing they have ever seen? What would they most like to see in their life?

Word Association || - Tabs sure knows how to blindside him and in a lot of ways maybe he should have seen it coming, though in all the years they’ve known each other, this is the one question she’s never asked him. She’s always taking other people on their word. Didn’t seem to want to pry into his own memories. The residual trauma that clings to him like frost on a winter morning, tainting everything he sees, everything he touches. He pauses what he’s doing, the little wandy-brush thing of her nail polish impossibly small between his fingertips. Puts it back in the bottle before closing it. To do so means he has to rest the sole of her foot on his chest and once he’s done he takes it back up in his hands. Blows across the salmon pink colour still wet on her nails. This isn’t the first time he’s done something like this and with the sheer amount of women in his life, it won’t be the last either. He doesn’t allow his gaze to trek past her delicate little ankle. “Once upon a time, I would have told you that the most beautiful thing I ever saw was Beth, the minute they’d pulled her out and dried her off, made her all clean and swaddled in this tiny soft pink blanket. Sure her face was red and a little wrinkled, this dark wisp of hair sticking up off the top of her head right before they put that little warming beanie on it. I remembered looking at her and she was so very small. Barely five pounds if she was an ounce. And everyone I know would say it’s fucking impossible, but I remember she opened her little eyes and looked me dead in the face. They were so green. And then she smiled. Now, I know babies can’t see more’n a few inches in front of their face, and they can’t really smile until about six or eight weeks, but I swear on my soul she did. And she did it for me. “But that changed a few years ago. It’s kind of hazy now ~yeah I know, you’re gonna call bullshit on that, too but I’m being as real as I can~ now I can’t actually tell you the where and the when; those are classified information and both me and my dad would lose our collective shit if my security clearance ever got revoked but let’s just say it was hot as fuck, sand everywhere, and just absolutely miserable. It’d been four days since I’d had any water, don’t remember when I ate last and I’ve got to admit, I’d collapsed somewhere in what passed for shade; the lee of a rock outcropping. I didn’t have anything left in me, not between the pain and the sepsis and the fuckin’ flies…” He shields her from the worst of it. The smell of his own flesh putrefying, the delirium, the whole fucking mess he was, waiting to die but unable to make himself give up. Or the fact that every time he closed his eyes he could hear his sister screaming. “But somewhere on the dimmest edge of awareness, I could hear the unmistakable sound of the chopper blades. I can hear them in my sleep, I know the vibration in my bones. I cracked one eye open, and above me, I saw the distant glimpse of stripes. Red and white. The blue field. All fifty stars. And I recognized the silhouette of one of the rescue wing  Sikorsky HH-60ws. They’d come to find me. I reached for one of my signal flares…and the next thing I know, I’m waking up in a tent in Bagram, getting ready for medevac out to Walter Reed.” He shrugs casually, his thumbs rubbing circles just below the bridge of her toes. “I’m sure Beth will forgive me for replacing her birth with my rebirth.” There’s a lull for a long moment. “As for what I wanna see? I’d love to go to Ireland for a while. Restore the old family castle, while staying in the current one. Whaddya think, Tabs. Wanna go with me? Pick out the new wall paper?”

[celaenaeiln]

Okay but you can’t just say “I'm not going to get into their brother relationship because that involves how Alfred treats Dick as a son rather than a grandson and is opening a whole new mansion of stuff so I'm going to wrap this up here” and not follow up with another post because that’s just cruel 😔😞 (aka this is me saying I really like & enjoy reading your interpretations and I need more of them HEHE)

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you!!!! <3333

I love thinking about how Alfred treats Dick more of a son than a grandson because their relationship is different from Alfred's relationship with the other kids. Furthermore, it also explains a bunch of his actions.

First of, I know when everyone saw that Alfred had left Dick his entire inheritance they went "What the fuck." There were a bunch of jokes and questioning about why Alfred would do that and a lot of people have wrote it off as Tom Taylor's writing. But here's the thing. Tom Taylor has done a lot of stupid stuff in terms of characterization but he's done quite a few things right and one of them was adequately explaining Dick and Alfred's relationship.

I don't know how many people can read cursive but it says, "I invested much of this wisely and ethically...In fact, I planned to come to you for advice. Like Bruce, your mind is astonishing. You are a problem-solver and the world is full of problems." (There's actually panel during one of Dick and Slade's fight I have saved so lemme know if you or anyone is interested in Dick's innovativeness and how it makes his a terrifying opponent.)

Let me pause right there. This is Alfred's life savings. It's every piece of penny he's saved and every minute of his life is in that money. On top of what he says about Dick's intellect-and I agree and can prove it-he must've loved and trusted Dick an extraordinary amount to do this.

Alfred goes on to say, "I couldn't think of better hands to leave this fortune in. I believe you will see this, not as a personal gain, but as an opportunity. Because I believe in Dick Grayson."

He continues praising him and- HERE IT IS- "I am so very proud to call you my son."

DICK IS ALFRED'S SON.

This is the cleanest, clearest panel where he explicitly says it.

Hold on-this is the cleanest panel that says it? Wait a minute, let me retract that:

"Master Bruce was my son for a while. And then there was you."

THIS MOMENT HAS BEEN BUILDING UP ON US FOR YEARS. Tom Taylor wasn't doing lip service, he was just writing the inevitable!

I swear there's a panel where Dick refers to Alfred as his dad...

*Record scratch* WHAT DID ALFRED CALL DICK? WHAT DID DICK CALL ALFRED?

THIS IS WHY I LOVE THEM!!! THEY ARE GLORIOUS, BRILLIANT, UNDERRATED, AND NO ONE UNDERSTANDS THE FULL EXTENT OF EITHER OF THEIR ABILITIES, LOVE, OR DEPTH OF EMOTIONS.

THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL.

Take the Ric Grayson arc for another example.

Background context: Dick-Ric-was sleeping on the counter and all of a sudden he was startled out of a nightmare thus accidentally ending up bumping into the guy next to him who was drinking. Of course the guy doesn't mind only because it's Dick but anyways, here Alfred makes his entrance. Another thing I love about about this interaction is this is one of the few times Alfred has ever admitted to being in the military. The only other time I can think of him openly saying that is when he's slapping Bruce around.

The worry in the man's eyes for his wayward son...when Bea is snarking with Dick about his tab Alfred decides to pay for him instead.

LOOK AT HIS EYES AS HE SAYS GOOD NIGHT! THE AMOUNT OF EMOTION HE HAS IN THEM IS PURE PERFECTION. THE MAN JUST WANTS HIS SON TO COME BACK.

Not to mention, Alfred adores Dick in a way he didn't even with Bruce.

"For a long time I would dread coming down to this dark hellhole. But the advent of young Grayson has forced an alteration in my attitude. The masters have made much progress in these few short months. I was opposed initially to the recruitment of the lad in Master Bruce's self-appointed 'War on Crime.' But I am prepared to admit my error. Master Richard has mad a difference for the better to our lives."

This is HUGE. Coming from Alfred, this is massive because Alfred LOATHES Bruce's "War on Crime." How much?

So much that he slapped Bruce bloody for it.

The pseudo-father and son beat each other to pieces over it. So after years of Alfred hating Bruce for what he's done, for him to say he only accepts it because of Dick-because of Dick's personality-is enormous praise and accomplishment.

Alfred loves Dick in a way he doesn't love anyone else. And before I get flamed by people for suggesting Alfred loves Dick more than Bruce, I want to say he loves Dick as much as Bruce but in a different manner. He doesn't see Dick as a grandchild who needs to be coddled and softened, he sees Dick as a son he can spoil and cherish.

Him paying off the tab was not only an act of kindness, but it mimicks the way a rich father gives everything to his youngest son. Bruce was the first born he raised but Dick was the baby of their family. This also ties in with how Bruce doesn't see Dick as just him son like he does with the others. To Bruce, they are just as much brothers as anything else.

When Bruce fires Dick from Robin after two-face, Alfred couldn't take it lightly. Dick wasn't just the light of Bruce's life, he was the fucking sun to Alfred's.

I started crying when I read this because the emotions and the pain he's feeling is so visceral. A man who has been MI5 and SAS (Special Airforce Service), who has fought wars, who has fought his son, lost his best friends, is breaking down alone at the top of the stairs over not having Dick as Robin.

You might think that's not all that sad. Worse things have happened. You're overreacting.

Tears are literally streaming down my face as I'm writing this review. Rudolph nose and ugly bloodstained eyes complete with it.

Can you ever imagine loving someone so much?

Crying in silence with a steady voice to never let them know your sorrow?

But sure, sure, he's cried when others were killed like this so I'll go into other special things.

Some of his best moments are with Dick:

The pure adoration in his eyes as he watches his young son go 'flap' 'flap' 'flap' with his older brother's too big cloathes.

He's laughing! Do you know the only times he laughs or grins like that?

That's right-with Bruce! With his other son.

With Dick, he laughs, gets angry, and actually shows interest in things not related to people's health. Dick humanizes Alfred.

Who is the only other person Alfred has gotten mad at? Oh yeah. Bruce.

There's another panel where Alfred just sits by his bedside holding his hand.

It's the little things that matter is a lie. When it comes to Dick, Alfred does things in fighter jet air shows level of affection which he learned just for this during his SAS days.

Their shared interests & mutual understanding

People always think Dick and Alfred have nothing in common between them. Dick is excitable, bouncy, and some other adjective while Alfred is calming, stoic, and butler-y. They actually forget that Dick and Alfred canonically bond of plays. Dick, as I said before, is a massive theater nerd. He loves plays. He really wanted to see that shakespeare play and Alfred said he would take him because he knows people there and then went on to complain about how his brother didn't even drop by to see him. I love their interactions because Dick brings out a different side to Alfred.

Das Rheingold was a German musical drama that was performed as a single opera at the National Theatre Munich. This is the link if you're interested in reading a short synopsis of this complicated play by the Metropolitan Opera. It's like a mix of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Rings of Power."

Also the fact that Alfred is tying his tie like a father would tie his son's.

I know they make a crack out of it by using Bugs Bunny (Bugs Bunny is a fantastic cartoon! I grew up on it!) but Alfred knows that Dick loves opera and theater and is only asking if this particular play will suit his interests. Okay, great, we know Dick likes theater. You've said that and posted about it before. But how do we know Alfred likes it too and not just because he's British and posh and whatnot?

He has preformed at the London Theater, and this is another way he connects to Dick emotionally. When Dick complains about being Batman, Alfred is the one that tells him:

This is something Alfred understands about Dick that absolutely no one in the family does.

The two of them are show people. They know how to play the role they were given, and they know how to play it well. No one suspects Alfred the Butler of ruthlessly using firearms and no one suspects Dick the Light of the Universe to ruthlessly to manipulate allies.

Dick knows this about Alfred too and never presses for any answers. When Alfred's pulling out a bullet from Dick and performing high level medical techniques he should know nothing about, Dick asks him, "Where did you learn all this, Alfred." To which Alfred responds, "You would be amazed at what you can pick up by watching the Discovery Channel." Dick just gives a pained laugh retorts about his wonderful bedside manners.

They know.

What Alfred sees in Dick is a pure goodness that can't be emulated. He loves his son for how absolutely good he is and is devastated when Dick can't be with him. Of everyone, Dick is the one Alfred is closest to. Other members have their moments with him but no one continually seeks out his presence just for the fact they like him aside from Dick. The rest treat him as an important side character, not a parent. And Alfred responds to that devotion with overwhelming love of his own.

Alfred and Bruce's optimism comes bundled up in the form of Dick. It's stunning how it's always Alfred of all people who admits this. Alfred who isn't supposed to show favoritism or bias is the one that consistently acknowledges how important Dick is to the family and him. This solidifies the fact that Dick is Alfred's favorite.

Other moments that differentiate Dick and Alfred's relationship:

We're pretty familiar with this and many of us have laughed it off when Alfred scolded Dick (also Dick looks hot af here). But can you imagine even anyone else playfully mocking Alfred? THIS. BOY. IS. SPECIAL. Alfred doesn't even blink twice at the address, indicating how typical it is for Dick to act that way with him. You only do that to people you're best friends with.

Casual comfort, the two of them.

Dick and Bruce were brothers and how that ties into Alfred:

Adding to my "Light of Bruce's life" Robin Dick canon, Alfred told Dick that Bruce "would have self-distructed if he hadn't met me and learned responsibility. I made him laugh, and he was like the greatest big brother you could ever imagine...it was our town."

Bruce and Dick are so damn codependent.

Bruce would not have survived without Dick. That's all there is to it.

Robin Dick was the light shining through rain clouds, the glitter in the air, the angel with golden wings, the giggling sweetheart to Alfred and Bruce. He was sunshine, love, and joy and the men both adored, thrived, and cherished him for it.

And if Dick and Bruce were brothers then Alfred was Dick's father and he was Alfred's son.

Okay, so. I don’t know why I originally followed a lot of the blogs I follow on here- I just see you on my dash and enjoy you.

But. I have a tab that is permanently open on my phone, and it’s your ao3 account. I’m not a huge fanfic reader, I don’t really have bookmarks of it, but I leave your account open because whenever I want bumblebee- for years now- I go back and reread one of your works.

You have the most gorgeous writing style, and every single time it catches me up and sweeps me along with your story, and just. You’re genuinely one of my favorite authors out there.

Anyway, I saw that last anon and figured it was a good sign to let you know how good and important your writing is to me, too. Thank you for all you write 🙏❤️

THANK YOU!!!! i just truly enjoy it, it's always been my biggest creative outlet and when i was writing back then i truly never imagined my fics would like, have the legacy they have i guess? or the impact? it's just wild and honestly i'm like running out of words. so it's really humbling to see and hear from people :) thank you so much, you are so kind <3333

[fandxmslxt69]

stared at wolfythewitch's art too long, now i'm dusting off my copy of the iliad (fagles) i bought 10 years ago. let's see if I can make it past page 81 🤞🏾

THE ILIAD !!!!!! my favourite loser, Achilles bless him.

stop im rewatching all of wolfythewitch's animatics again on youtube (i have them. all tabbed) as i wait (im)patiently for Wednesday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I LOVE ODYSSEUS He's so. dumb. OKAY NO so i definitely 1000% romanticise these characters WAY too much but also idc bc it makes reading fun. why YES i am sitting on my bed reading the chunky Odyssey and giggling at my book, calling Odysseus' silly for the tenth time in the past hour. So? It's fun and i think im funny.

I HOPE YOU MAKE IT FRIEND !!!! um yeah no i never read the iliad OR the odyssey full actually. i've read bits and pieces. i've also read so many retellings and articles so i kind of just. Know. i WANT to read them but i want to buy pretty versions so i can annotate them to be Smart

sigh. i love myths. i love them all so much. I think i love Odysseus over the others though - he's just my favourite. he's so silly and he doesnt know how to shut up.

i was talking to one of my english teacher's who read the odyssey for her master's at university and i was like "if i could sum up the whole story, it would be that Odysseus cannot keep his mouth shut so it gets him into trouble" and she was like "i wish i was as funny about the story when I was reading it. i HATED that book," i mean FI|GURES it was for CLASS.

but.

GUFHGUHBFGHUHBFGHUHBGJHBG Odysseus <3333 he's so. silly i love him please give him a break thank you. and Achilles too i guess. but he did all his problems to himself so. thats different!!!

[kishavo]

OH SHIT FORGOT TO ANSWR THIS ASK but unfortunately tumbler has clapped the linktext BUT I did find the fic in my gifts tab!!!!!! Thank you so fucking much beathoven how can I ever repay you <3333

[k-s-morgan]

Hello Katrin ! I hope you're doing well !

I absolutely love everything you write ! TGSTLTH is basically canon for me ! The other day I kept looking for the epidisodes with the teachers before realizing that it was in your fic not the anime, haha !

And the last chapter of ATLWETD killed me ! The "my griffindor" at the end made me scream and I still feel myself blushing as I write this ask ^^

I really want to read your batjokes story, but I'm not familiar at all with the lore or the universe (besides the basic things everyone knows about batman), do you think I could still fully appreciate it (or at least understand what's going on XD) ?

On another note, have you watched the movie The Old Guard ? It's one of my absolute favorite thing ever and it's based on a comic book series. When I first watched it I hyperfixated like I'd rarely ever done, and I think it can always be useful to hyperfixate on a piece of media when you have other problems in life you want to get away from, even for just a moment. There's also a second movie in the making so I'm so happy about it !

Anyway, that was long XD. I hope you're having as great of a day as you can, I'm sending you all my love and support <3333

Hi! Thank you so much for this wonderful ask <3 I'm so glad you've been enjoying my writing! That "My Gryffindor" line was a completely spontaneous addition, and I was very glad when Tom decided to say it because I think it sums up his changing attitude to Harry well. Imagine him saying something like this when they just met :D He'd be appalled at every single implication: that Harry is a Gryffindor, that Tom might want a Gryffindor to belong to him in such a personal way, that he might feel affection for anyone in general and someone like this in particular. They are getting closer.

Oh, my Batjokes story is a complete AU, so I think you won't have any problems reading it if you're interested in the premise! There are some references and little moments that probably land better when you know canon, but it's nothing significant. The story focuses on Bruce and Joker as they meet as children and tracks their evolving relationship through the decades - and the inevitable heartbreak, jealousy, and obsession that come with it.

I never watched The Old Guard, but one of my friends was a big fan of it! I kept wanting to give it a try but eventually I forgot about it completely, you actually reminded me of it. I'll open a tab with it to finally watch it. Thank you for the rec!

[starvity]

hellooo i love ur works so much!! i wanna start making content but im not the best writer 😭 could you give me some pointers or advice? it would really help me a lot 🤍🤍

hi sweetheart!! thank you so so much <//3

of course!! first thing i could already tell you is

1. confidence and practice!!

you can already remove that thought about you not being the best writer off your mind!! i know a lot of people struggle with posting their work because they feel like they’re not good enough but really you just have to be courageous enough to post your first one and then practice will make everything!! you might not get too much recognition at first but you might be positively surprised with the engagement you get overtime!! i also did not imagine i would get so big when creating this account just months ago so i’m very thankful :’)

then 2. posting regularly(?)

i am not the best for this especially right now lol but try to communicate with your followers or with others through tags, ask them what they’d like to read, etc. and if you don’t get much engagement at first (which is totally normal) don’t be afraid to continue posting regularly, even if you get just a few likes!!! it’s very easy to quickly doubt yourself and your work but just try to think about writing for yourself, just for the fun of it too :D if you just post for likes and reposts you might get burned out easily… :/

also 3. synonyms!!!

especially because english is not my first language, i like to always have a tab opened to search for synonyms and specific vocabulary when i write!! it’s always nicer to read a work where the words are not repeated all the time!! also don’t be afraid to restart writing your drabble several times if you’re not satisfied. it usually takes me 2-3 times to actually like what i write lol but then the rest is much faster!! (it does take a lot of time though!!)

i think those are the most important tips i can give you!! if you have any other questions you can always reach out to me <3 i wish you the best of luck for your work and please feel free to send them/tag me so i can read them, i would love to!!! <3333 ☆

comments and such under the cut bc its long:

• The Legend of Zelda quotes were painstakingly hand chosen with love! I had that and the Hercules script pinned in my tabs for 2 months lol and I had like 3 docs separate to keep everything in order! And fun fact: their mostly in order of how they appear in the game, meaning they follow the actual game chronologically! ^^

OF COURSE! @bunnwich was the one who motivated and inspired me to write this. I'd never written fanfic before this, just stuff for OCs. It was really something!

You can blame a certain Youtuber for the 'Pause" jokes. It's literally a part of my daily vocab and I woudln't be me if I didn't put my humor, memes, and inside jokes into the writing. (After all, I wrote it with the mindset that only Bun would read it ^^). I'm glad you share my silly humor!

The pairs for the PE part were actually chosen somewhat carefully by me! I tried to think based on character relationships, personal stories and clubs, which 1st years and second years would actually want to pair up with each other!

Yume's and Kalim's relationship is important to me. I'd love to explore it more because there are more layers to it!

#VARGAS WITH YO CRIMSON CHIN, SHORT, LOBSTER LOOKING, STEAK HANDS, ASS lol

I took care writing Kalim! I wanted to show his growth and his reflection after chapter 4. Sometimes I feel people write him a certain way. I don't think he's naive about things as people always think he is. Especially when it comes to people's emotions. The fact that he wasn't able to see through Jamil's lies isn't a fault on Kalim, Jamil is just that good of a liar/ that good at masking his true feelings. but I'm rambling.

Meme voice: I don't care for Azul. (Yet there are aspects of his character that foil Yume's so interestingly.)

AHAHA yeah yume's big day for sure.

Chat logs are the only way I have communicated with people close to me so I drew from my own chat experience, but still wanted them to be understandable.

is Idia not a malewife?

Ahh yes the...climax of this part was something I had been waiting to get to and wanting to explore. I won't get to into it here.

Idia is notorious for saying shit bluntly and without thinking about it, I feel because he doesn't think about how someone could intemperate his words. He knows what he means so he thinks automatically that the other person should too. Bc its "logical" thinking. (lets just say he's not a reliable narrator)

I got to explore lots of interesting things with Yume here, and I'm glad it impacted you so much! Making people feel the intended emotions, or any really is high praise! It affected me as well when I wrote it because...well like you said it can hit close to home for some people.

I HAD to use that quote.

Please take your time!!! I hope you keep sharing your thoughts with me, I love to hear your comments and feedback!!

I'm glad you are invested. <33333

Asks for writers: 1 and 40, if you please!

Thanks for the ask <3333 #1: I bumped into the “use comic sans when writing” trick a couple years ago and it’s really, really worked for me when doing the raw something-from-nothing stage of writing. But, when it comes to the long process of editing and refining, I’m a moody, idiosyncratic bastard about typography. The first three parts of my most recent series needed to be in the simple and elegant but faintly warm Lato while the much longer fourth part was Libre Baskerville, all the way. The story before that, The Art of the Possible, was the cooler-toned, detached and minimalist geometric sans serif Muli. And the now-abandoned story before that worked with one of the lighter weights of the constructed and rationalist, almost monolinear, Poppins. Go figure.

Variable but strongly felt typographic feelings! #40: Here's the poem that's stayed open in my tabs lately and been messing me up:

October

Mary Oliver

1

There’s this shape, black as the entrance to a cave.

A longing wells up in its throat

like a blossom

as it breathes slowly.

What does the world

mean to you if you can’t trust it

to go on shining when you’re

not there? and there’s

a tree, long-fallen; once

the bees flew to it, like a procession

of messengers, and filled it

with honey.

2

I said to the chickadee, singing his heart out in the

green pine tree:

little dazzler

little song,

little mouthful.

3

The shape climbs up out of the curled grass. It

grunts into view. There is no measure

for the confidence at the bottom of its eyes—

there is no telling

the suppleness of its shoulders as it turns

and yawns.

Near the fallen tree

something—a leaf snapped loose

from the branch and fluttering down—tries to pull me

into its trap of attention.

4

It pulls me

into its trap of attention.

And when I turn again, the bear is gone.

5

Look, hasn’t my body already felt

like the body of a flower?

6

Look, I want to love this world

as though it’s the last chance I’m ever going to get

to be alive

and know it. —
