Prompt #6

Okay I don’t know much about Cassandra cain so some of the things in this prompt might be inaccurate

I have seen a few prompts of various members of the bat family or Other people adopting Danny most often it’s Jason or Batman or even John Constantine (involuntarily), and anyone who has read my other prompts know I absolutely adored de-aged prompts

And I also despite not knowing much about Cassandra I think she’s a unique and incredible character so I would like to think that she wouldn’t mind adopting a child, for the sake of this prompt she is maybe 18 or 19

So Danny after being captured by the G.I. W after bad Fenton parents reveal is like sadly tortured and Vivisected and so many other things to a point where he so injured that his core Reverts him to as young as possible to conserve energy but because he’s only half ghost he will have to relive his entire life to go back to his normal age and due to his much younger form now he has the mental capacity of his physical age and barely remembers anything but he still has torture trauma.

So Cassandra goes on a mission to some country or some part of America to investigate something and while there she comes across a lab that she was unaware of and she’s pretty sure no one else in the family knew about it either , and while investigating the lab she comes across a baby may be a few months old covered in scars of terrifying variation, so she does the sensible thing grabs the baby, steals as many files as she can, overrides the system to release any other prisoners, and  get the hell out of there.

 after getting the baby out she goes to settle in the private hotel room or private suite that Bruce got for her because he wanted her to stay comfortable while dealing with a very long mission and even though her original plan was to go back immediately after finishing the mission because she knew she would be able to finish it quickly but now she decides to take the entire time Bruce gave her to first figure out what to do with the baby and it doesn’t take her long to decide to pull a Bruce Wayne and adopt the baby .

reading the files that she stole she learned that his name is Danny and he is something known as an ecto being, the files straight up say that they are  non-sentient and non-feeling, and that they are simply made up of emotions and ectoplasm, but what she saw clearly does not align with what these files say because everybody she spotted there no matter how few of them there were, they were clearly  either distressed, sad, scared or  in pain, whatever the hell this G.I.W was clearly violating so many laws, not to mention she read something in the files about an anti- ecto act and as far as she is aware nothing like that was ever allowed by the government since technically based on these reports ecto beings are creatures from another world or universe which technically makes them fall under the alien protection acts, and she was definitely going to tell the bats  about this.

so while spending a month in this specific place she somehow in some way adopts Danny as her own child without the help of any of the other bats , somehow finds a way to interact with the Infinite realms and talk to frostbite (probably thanks to one of the other ghosts that she released)  and she learns a lot from frostbite and the other ghosts that offered to help her.

She learns that Danny is  the crown prince of the infinite realms and she also learns that Danny is only half ghost he is still half a life and she’s kinda happy to learn that he’s not technically a dead child fully at least, she also learned a lot of ghost customs as she gets to know her new baby boy ( I feel like Cassondra is the type of person to want to know everything important or relevant in this type of situation so technically learning the customs and culture of her new son is something she would try to learn as much as possible about).

after a month of spending time with her new baby boy and learning stuff about his culture and also she learned  from frostbite that  apparently due to her interaction and care of Danny he has formed  a familial bond with her meaning he recognizes her as his mother, frostbite also gave her his summoning  sigil just in case she needs to call him for an emergency, she leaves to return home and give her entire family heart attacks over the fact that she has a baby now.

When she returns it’s late at night and the only person in the mansion is Alfred  ( because Duke was assisting with a case and everyone else was obviously on patrol) who greets her and is a little surprised to see her holding a baby boy, and Cassandra with minimal words would explain to Alfred that she found this boy, she adopted him and that he’s not human fully at least, Alfred obviously knowing how unusual this family is accepted it  because there’s a new family member and he absolutely loves it when the family expands not  to mention this will be the first ever baby in the family since master Bruce was born, so he immediately gets Cassondra settled in one of the living rooms with the baby, and brings them a few snacks before he sits down to talk with her for a bit and then goes to the Batcave to wait for everyone so he could lead them up to the living room for the surprise.

Most of the bat family would be in the Batcave and would obviously wonder why Alfred was just waiting in the Batcave in front of the elevator for them he would first tell them to go get changed and cleane up and then to follow him because Miss Cassandra has returned and she has a surprise for the family..

After everyone finishes cleaning up and getting changed into normal clothes Alfred leads them all to the living room Cassandra was in and at first they only see her head over the couch but as they get closer they hear giggling? Babbling? They all go to look over the couch to see Cassandra holding a baby, a black haired blue-eyed baby fully awake and playing with something while sitting in Cassandra’s lap. Cassandra obviously knew when they entered the room. And she would quietly introduce everyone to the newest member of the family Daniel or Danny cain.

(this was originally supposed to be a short prompt but it kept going there was so many things I wanted to add so technically this became a prompt/ short story but I hope you liked it)

Trying to find a Sasuke x Sakura shipper that understands the complexity of Sasukes character and the trauma he went through and doesn't write him as a stone cold bad boy Is like trying to find a needle in a dystopian world in which sewing is illegal.

One AU that i think has major angst potential is jason todd and damian wayne meeting in the league of assassins, but it's not the way that you think.

Usually, these AU's show that jason and damian had a good relationship, but damian felt abandoned when jason left to become the red hood so he doesn't mention their bond at all, or jason forgets about damian when he gets dipped in the pit, or both of them escaping the league or staying in the league together. And yes, the angst from some of these is amazing, and some of the works are really cute, but what if the angst happens after they've arrived in gotham?

Jason tells damian that he's leaving the league to clean up gotham, and when damian gets upset, he tells him that it's so he can meet his father. And so you go through the whole UtRH arc, except damian goes to bruce before jason reveals himself. However, when with bruce, damian gets convinced that jason really was angry and reckless as robin and got himself killed (even though he probably knows how exactly jason died, jason would trust him with the thing with sheila. He'd intend it to be a lesson as to why you shouldn't blindly trust anyone, even family) After the reveal and the whole fallout from there, damian comes to the conclusion that the best way to get closer to his father and 'show his loyalty' is to bash jason.

Of course, he wouldn't really mean it, at first. I mean, that's jason, his brother, one of the only people who showed him unconditional love and kindness. But then he gets more and more invested in the whole blood heir thing, and it eases his guilt, just a bit. Then he starts rationalising it. Since jason isn't here, he won't care what he says behind his back. Right? This goes on until damian buries the version of jason he knew and replaces him with the failure robin. Damian stops seeing jason as his brother and statts seeing him as a burder or an unworthy predecessor.

Well, jason hears everything he says, since he has access to the security in the batcave. And it hurts, worse than when bruce or alfred or dick say those things, because damian KNOWS better. He thought that his love was reciprocated, that their time at the league meant something to both of them, but he thought wrong.

In my mind, this would make jason grow numb. He'd still do the outlaws thing, but he wouldn't try to get in contact with any of the bats. And if damian held these beliefs, would talia be the same? Would roy and kori? This would cause jason to self isolate and only come to gotham once every few months to make sure his empire is going strong, then dip and do whatever.

Since he prefers being alone and doesn't want any real connection to anyone, i think JayRose would be perfect here. In my opinion, jayrose is best when both of them are super fucked up but end up helping each other heal. They'd see themselves in each other, offering themselves up to their families just to be met with betrayal.

I previously talked about how a fully realised/healed jason could take on anyone in the batfam save cass, and once he finds this out, he just sets up full time in gotham with rose. Rose would be his right-hand woman, and they'd take over. I like jaytemis, i really do, but i feel like jason and rose would just be a better couple here. You could have artemis and bizarro help jason as well. In this au, i feel like jason wouldn't have a strong relationship with roy and kori, even though i love their dynamic, so i don't want to involve them here. Bruce fights jason for the first time since utrh and thinks it's gonna be easy, just to be laid flat on his ass with a broken arm while jason discusses what he wants to eat with rose after patrol.

Once the bats start to realise what's happening, and once they find out everything they've been fed by bruce and alfred was just bullshit, i think they'd get really angry. Jason todd, the supposed failure, managed to get control of gotham while fighting them all off, and has the loyalty of a superman clone and the shim'tar, not to mention slade wilson's daughter. His operation might even be deemed dangerous enough to warrant a justice league level interference. Things would grow really tense, and they'd try to reach out, but jason has moved on, and he doesn't want anything to do with them. The only thing that ties him to them is bruce wayne, and that's really not great for them.

When the illusion shatters, i think the most affected out of all of the bats would be damian. He allowed himself to disrespect and bash his brother just for his father, and it would haunt him. You can have them reconcile if you want to, but i don't. This thing with damian fucked jason up, and i don't think he would forgive him. He'd understand and have sympathy, but he wouldn't be able to trust damian again.

Sometimes I think GRRM is much more sensitive to Sansa than he is to Dany, regarding their dynamics with older men.

I think he's trying to say something about Dany by the way she perceives these men and their interactions, and not in an unsympathetic way.

The Stark children aren't somehow inherently better or "made different" than other characters in the series. We see them face horrible things, but often times we also see them magically spared from sharing a fate that is depicted happening to their mirrors. Take the miller's sons dying in the place of Bran and Rickon. Take the horrible tales of rape and murder that Arya only ever overhears. Take Lollys vs. Sansa during the riots. Some of it is happenstance, some of it is their noble status, some of it is prior relationships, some of it is simply plot armor.

But the key of their emotional resiliance lies in the fact that their parents loved them, modeled a reasonably stable and loving marriage, and raised them with attention and principles. They were not perfect by far, and utterly products of their time, but they were solid and they were present. The Stark children have a sense of how the world can work and they have a sense of self that is fairly secure, even through hardship.

Characters like Dany, or Tyrion, or Cersei, tend to become what they are because they are not spared in key ways. And they did not have that crucial foundation.

Dany is not raised lovingly. She is not spared marital rape. She has no home to cling to in her memories, no model of healthy family dynamics - and literally no one who ever bothers to try and genuinely help her for her own sake.

So she doesn't know what healthy dynamics are. Not true justice, not consent, not a relationship of equals, not genuine tenderness. She can't take refuge in her inner child, she killed her in chapter three. She has no healthy outlet for her grief and her rage. She has no concept of a happy future that isn't tied to power. She has no framework for a different reality. And that is what we see play out in her arc. And that is also why her relationships with men are depicted as they are. The misery she experiences in reality is unmitigated by even a sense of injustice and validation of her pain by anyone around her. So she erases that misery from her reality. She invents an uneasy pretense of equality based on her queenship and later her dragons that leaves her feeling empty and powerless without understanding why.

She may never ever understand why.

It's a tragedy. It's the tragedy, that, I think, GRRM is trying to tell through her. She should have been given help. Any scrap of love, and she may not have become what she did.

So when Sansa is spared and emotionally survives on a privilege of having been loved, we must also imbue her character with the obligation to pass it on, to show mercy, to love, to help. Same with the rest of the Starks.

And when they fail, like Robb did, they will not prosper.

Ngl I'm starting to get really pissed about ppl using top surgery scars as an aesthetic accessory, but who would rather die than have the character be a trans man.

Like, am I the only one who notices that most of the time, the characters with top surgery scars in queer comics are

- Background characters you'll know nothing about, being there just here to be here and to have ✨️the Scars✨️

- Non-binary but NOT trans men

- Transmasc but NOT trans men

And if the queer comic in question has feminist implications, these characters will be sorted in the exact same category as cis men and be out of this subject.

Can we PLEASE have trans men representation that isn't just to "be here" ?

Why Ivan's loss doesn't matter, when Zoya's does?

The duality of the narrative, expecting the reader to feel for one person over and over, when dismissing another.

“You know what he plans to do, Ivan.” “He plans to bring us peace.” “At what price?” I asked desperately. “You know this is madness.” “Did you know I had two brothers?” Ivan asked abruptly. The familiar smirk was gone from his handsome face. “Of course not. They weren’t born Grisha. They were soldiers, and they both died fighting the King’s wars. So did my father. So did my uncle.” “I’m sorry.” “Yes, everyone is sorry. The King is sorry. The Queen is sorry. I’m sorry. But only the Darkling will do something about it.”

Shadow and Bone- Chapter 20

“Liliyana Garin? Have you seen her? Is she alive?” The old customer’s face paled. “I … She tried to help me when the darkness came. She pushed me out of the way so that I could run. If not for her—” Zoya had released a sob, not wanting to hear any more. Brave Liliyana. Of course she had run toward the docks when the screaming began, ready to help. Why couldn’t you be a coward this one time? Zoya could not help imagining the dark stain of the Fold bleeding over the town, the monsters descending from the air with their teeth and claws, shrieking as they tore her aunt apart. All her kindness had meant nothing, her generosity, her loving heart. She’d been nothing but meat to them. She’d meant even less to the Darkling, the man who had unleashed his horrors just to make a point, the man she had as good as worshipped.

King of Scars- Chapter 25

Ivan loses four loved ones in wars.

Zoya two in connection to unexpected military action.

Ivan's family was fulfilling their duty enacted by the Crown.

Zoya's aunt acted recklessly out of her own free will, entering a dangerous situation completely defenceless.

Ivan's wrong to support a man, who wants to prevent his experience repeating.

Zoya's entitled to seek revenge on the man responsible for the disaster her aunt used to commit suicide.

Are we truly expected to overlook the double standard of sympathy?

Are we truly expected to pretend (lack of) choice doesn't matter?

Why is personal vendetta against a single person, that will harm never mentioned acceptable, when supporting systematic change is deplorable due to its casualties?

Or is it to suggest soldiers aren't human beings, not the way civilians making a bad choice are?

Hey, Egos! Can you do a CG! Hawks with a Little! FTM! Reader? Probably reader feeling self conscious and a bit upset, but Hawks helps them feel better? You don't have to if you don't want./gen Thanks, bub. -Logan (Wolvie)

Baby Bird

CG!Hawks x Little!FTM!Reader

⚠️ This fic contains: Gender dysphoria and mentions of SH scars Note: We are not pro sh we put this in the fic because personally as a ftm trans sys we suffered from sh and we know many trans people share this experience. We want as many people to feel seen as possible.

You were doing your internship with Pro Hero Hawks and honestly the guy was awesome hell he was taking such good care of you that you had opened up to him a lot.

He knows you regress and he also knows that sometimes you experience dysphoria while regressed. However he wasn't prepared for coming into the agency to find you curled up and crying in his office.

"Hey Baby Bird what's wrong?"

He had a formed habit of calling you this in and out of headspace. He approaches you slowly not wanting to make you more uncomfortable. He also notices your rubbing rubbing at your wrists slightly.

When he look more closely he sees old self harm scars he frowns a bit figuring you’re dysphoria is making you more self conscious about your entire being. He knows he has to be very careful with his words.

“It’s okay Baby Bird don’t listen to all those icky thoughts. You’re more than enough and you are absolutely a strong young man.”

Hawks holds his wings out to wrap you up in which you gladly run into hugging him tightly and crying into his chest.

“There there Baby Bird. I got you. I always will.”

Okay I need to vent. This morning I saw this on my fyp:

(btw I'm choosing not to reblog the original post and instead just post screenshots because this is definitely a rant and since the creator and I clearly have different opinions, so I decided it's just better to leave them out of this)

Anyways, I saw this and I got pissed. Very very pissed. And so I spent 2 and a half hours writing a whole three page essay explaining everything wrong with this.

So here it is. (:

First of all, the Darkling does every single thing listed here for Nikolai, excluding cutting people’s fingers off, but he does commit mass murder, which I personally consider to be worse than cutting off someone’s fingers. 

Anyways, let’s first just address Nikolai’s reasons for doing each of these things and then the Darkling’s reasons for doing the same things.

Cutting the fingers off a man: Nikolai was a teenager who wanted to help his incredibly war torn country. He felt helpless, and even once he became a privateer, a lot of people still disrespected him because of his age, so he proved his ruthlessness by injuring one person, so he could help save his entire country. 

Usurping the throne: First of all, Nikolai was second in line to the throne, and after Vasily died, he would’ve been first. Also, the current king was an ignorant rapist who let the rest of the country go to waste to fuel his own luxuries. Nikolai wanted to rescue his country from war and a ruler that was doing nothing to stop hundreds of people (many of them kids) from dying in unnecessary battles.

Lying to Alina/hiding information from her: All Nikolai did was hide his identity from Alina to get her safely away from the Darkling who had just kidnapped her for the second time in less than a year. Kissed her without her consent: Okay, let’s just preface this by saying Malina was what got me hyperfixated on the Grishaverse, so seeing Nikolai kiss Alina did upset me, but he did it spread hope to the Ravkan villagers. They were also already spreading around a fake engagement, so while it was wrong, it wasn’t like he was trying to manipulate her. Nikolai was just trying to make their marriage more believable. (I’d also like to address a scene later in the book where Alina actually wants Nikolai to kiss her, and he says no, knowing that she just wants a distraction and isn’t really in love with him).

And now for why the Darkling did all the same things. 

Trying to usurp the throne: The Darkling hates the king, but not because he’s a terrible person, but because he’s ignorant and the Darkling knows he could be using the Fold to expand Ravka’s power. The Darkling usurps the throne so he can try and take over the country, not because he wants to save it.

Lying to Alina/hiding information from her: Unlike Nikolai, he wasn’t trying to protect her. The Darkling lied to Alina so she would believe that 1) he was in love with her and 2) he wanted to save Ravka. We know this isn’t true. When Nikolai lies, he does it to protect Alina, but when the Darkling lies he does it to manipulate her.

Kissed Alina without her consent: The Darkling tried to convince Alina he was in love with her so she would be easier to manipulate. Alina even says she doesn’t know how he feels about her, and that she doesn’t believe he loves her, but that she wants to be wanted by him. 

And now for everything else the Darkling does:

Mass murder: He destroyed an entire town just to prove a point. 

“Gifting” Genya to the Lantsovs, and then allowing her to be continually raped by them

for years. More than anything else, I feel like this proves just how terrible he is.

Killing his own mother: No explanation needed, that’s just awful.

Threatening to kill Mal to make sure Alina stays in line. He enslaved Alina. He put an unremovable collar around her neck that forced her to do whatever he wanted, and then promised to kill her boyfriend just in case that wasn’t enough.

Using kids as bargaining chips. Using grown people is bad enough, but kids. Sure, they’re Grisha, but they aren’t strong enough to fight back, especially after seeing their captor kill Ana Kuya, who helped care for them while they were in hiding. (Also just felt like adding that Nina was one of the students who he used as a bargaining chip. That’s honestly pretty unimportant, but if you needed another reason to hate him.)

Killing Alina’s mother figure: Again, he did this just to prove a point. He wanted to show Alina that he could hurt the people she cared about, and that was his only incentive.

So that the first 75% of my rant, but I also made the mistake of looking at the comments on that post and added a whole extra page responding to those.

Saying that the same thing can be applied to Kaz is so fucking disrespectful. Kaz is a traumatized teen. Is he violent? Yes. But he only hurts people who have hurt him, his friends, or other innocent people. Oomen nearly killed Inej, as well as the other crows, so Kaz hurt him because he cared about his friends and was mad that they were almost killed. When the Darkling kills people, it’s out of greed for power and the fact that he knows it’ll get a rise out of Alina.

And then this. Kaz calls Inej an investment because he values her. She said four words to him and chose to pay off her indenture. She ended up being not only an incredible spy, but an incredible friend as well. Kaz didn’t need to pay off her indenture, but he did because despite everything terrible that he does, he’s still a genuinely good person, and didn’t want to see a woman being exploited the way she was. An investment is something you value, which is why Kaz calls her one.

Also, Kaz makes a big point of Inej not belonging to anyone. He didn’t force her to get the Dregs tattoo, because he didn’t “want to be the one to mark her again.” He recognized that she was an independent person, and by not making her have the tattoo, he was giving her the freedom to leave Ketterdam when her indenture was paid off. Also, when Inej tells Kaz she wants to leave Ketterdam, he literally buys her a boat so she can leave. That’s not how you treat your property.

And as for the Darkling, he used Alina’s power to start a civil war. What he does is beyond redemption. The Darkling exploits and manipulates women. He abuses and assaults them to reach his own goals, most of which involve destroying the rest of the world so that Ravka stays in power. Comparing him to two kids who just do what they have to to survive is so disrespectful, and clearly you misunderstood the messages of the books if you think that Kaz and Nikolai are the same as the Darkling.

So that's my little anti-Darkling rant. I've already tortured my frienda with this, so if they didn't think I was insane before, they do now lol.

I hated how the Nikolai duology pushed Alina, Zoya and Alina into the role of victims. I’m not saying the girls didn’t have a reason to hate the Darkling and that their grudge should have been left out of the books, but I just hated how badly it was written.

Alina being the Darkling’s victim undermines her. She was a woman who almost buried the Darkling alive, left him on the mercy of volcras and in the end, killed him with her own hands. Yeah, the Darkling did fucked up shit and she has a reason to hate him. But she wasn’t just a victim. The Darkling saw her as a threat. I cannot say if he saw her as his equal, but he saw potential and grew to admire her (and want her, lol). But the books seem to forget that and treat Alina like some fragile thing that needs to be protected from the evil Darkling.

Zoya says straight up that he manipulated her (Do you… I look back and I hate knowing how easy I was to manipulate.) Well, I cannot see how he manipulated her??? She did have a crush on him, but the Darkling did nothing to encourage those feelings. Yes, Zoya has every reason to hate Darkling about the attack on the Novokribirsk, and those feelings should be explored. But please, Zoya, don’t make up a narrative where you were his victim. You aren’t that special (Honestly, if the Darkling manipulated me I would thank him on my knees, be grateful Zoya loooool).

I can understand Genya hating the Darkling for making the nichevo'ya attack her. But the fault of her rape cannot be entirely put to the him. I seriously doubt even the Darkling had the foresight to see the King raping her. Yes, the Darkling should have taken her away from the Little Palace, and not given her choice for revenge. I don’t doubt for a second that Genya’s choice was convenient for him, but the Darkling did give her the choice to leave. (And he didn’t make nichevo'ya mutilate her because she challenged him, but because she defied his orders, but let’s not go there.)

I hated the scene in the end where Genya gives a speech about growing stronger from her experience and blaa blaa. It’s just so…. Unnatural and forced. I’m going to repeat myself, that I don’t have a problem with their grudges or hating the Darkling, I have just a problem with the way it was written. There’s no nuance or not showing how the manipulation affected them. It’s just telling, not showing. When reading a book, I don’t want to be preached to. I want to be immersed in the characters’ emotions and experiences. I want to be made to feel what they feel. I don’t want the narrative to push some kind of “right” way of interpreting the book. It just makes me feel annoyed and takes me out of the experience.

people hating stretch marks must be some sort of fucking elaborate lie the entire world is in on right. i just found out i had some and this is the coolest shit thats ever happened to my appearance. i have PURPLE STRIPES AND SCARS ON ME. IS THAT NOT THE MOST FUCKING RAD THING YOU’VE EVER HEARD
