Considering (as far as I'm aware) we never see it in canon, a fic about Sion and Satsuki meeting and forming the Back Alley Alliance would be cool

Good for them

[sadgrrly]

Release: "-S-s-satsuki?"

I finally posted another fic! I hope you enjoy it. You can find it here. Apologies for this somewhat blah release post, most of my energy went into the afterword this time around. As always, thank you for reading!

Something with the Back Alley Alliance (yes, all three of them, and yes, they must be poly)!

Melty blood time!

Edit: now with a fill!

Satsuki Yumizuka is the normalest girl in the world and that's what makes her so special

Praise be thanks to the algorithm which chooses which picture to show me when I hover and lock the start button

[studentofetherium]

YEAH YEAH YEAH. genuinely life-changing, unquestionably the best thing to come out of the company

like the kiss is cool and all but there's so much more going on. Melty Blood X was super Satsuki-focused so this focuses more on the other two. Ries is more minor than Sion but what she gets is great and Sion's arc is so good that it can effectively be the end for these three if we never get another story focusing on them. their best possible future is the one where they're together. it's perfect

The Melty Blood Back Alley Alliance Nightmare manga is probably my favorite thing Type-Moon has produced. Everyone should read it immediately

ALLEY ALLIANCE 🐈 this year’s halloween collab with @comicspasta (her lines my color) ✨ available as a print here this will be the 6th jake/pasta halloween collab ⚡ first one was back in 2019 before we were dating and this year we got married 💗

"your jacket is worn ragged from years of keeping you safe, and all the souvenirs you can’t seem to let go of are weighing you down. dirty puddles collect on the asphalt of the alley, reflecting red-tinged moonlight. it’s hard to find a living creature out of doors these days. it’s even harder to find a friend. Maybe that’s why, when the three-eyed alley cat paused to look your way, you held its gaze. maybe that’s why when it moved on, you followed. maybe that’s why you ignored the warnings. maybe it’s the best choice you’ll ever make."

Hi! I once went through your blog and there was a post about how the alleykids are scared of the hood because he tortured robin AKA tim in the tower. I searched for it but I couldn’t find it. Could you please reblog it or smt. Because that thought is stuck in my head fr days.

Ps. I really enjoy your posts!! Keep it up!!

H!!! Thank you so much for the encouragement. I really appreciate it.

As far as reblogging the OG one, I couldn't find it :( I scrolled for over an hour trying to go back to it, but it's pretty buried. Curse Tumblr's ineffective searching system. I can summarize/expand what I remember, though!

Tw: child abuse

So, a lot of fanon interpretations of Jason have him trying to protect/support Crime Alley. It's an endearing and compelling characterization (particularly with a Good/Trying Dad Willis contrasted with any version of Bruce). In trying to help his community, he may focus these efforts on the kids.

Alley kids, as they are forced to be by their environment, are obviously wary of adults. If they *do* have a trustworthy adult in their life, the cops, CPS (or whatever it is in NJ), mandated reporters, etc. may do more harm than good (particularly with how corrupt Gotham is). So, Jason would need to work endlessly to gain even smidges of their trust.

To do this, he would need to:

Continuously choose to protect them (even against monetary gains, alliances, or stories told by other people)

Trust/believe what the kid says, even if Jason knows they are lying

Not report them (cause Gotham's system is bad and that does more harm than good)

Offer aid without forcing it

Never hurt a kid

Etc.

The Crime Alley kids may or may not trust each other (depends on the setup), but they trust adults even less. At least fellow kids in their situation seem to understand. Therefore, they will not trust adults other Alley kids have deemed unsafe.

All this is suffice to say that, depending on the reveal, all of Jason's hard work (and his good intentions to help these kids) will crash and burn the moment they find out he beat the shit out of Robin.

Regardless of Tim!Robin's characterization [goes out of his way to aid/patrol Crime Alley when he can vs avoids it], Robin is still a kid. Seeing or hearing that someone they trust to protect them against abusers has beat up a kid?

Yeah. Some or all may never trust him ever again (may never allow him to help them again).

Obviously, this would hurt everyone involved. If ya don't want that fucked up level of angst (and gods do I love angst), you could chat about someone threatening to inform people about it. You could force Tim to have to defend Jason's reputation because it's better for the Alley Kids [and no. The kids aren't dumb for refusing help from RH after finding out about it. That's smart survival].

It doesn't have to be the Tower either. It could be another canon event that a Alley Kid ends up seeing.

Anyways!!!! Tons of angst there :D
