I think when you talk about the batkids relationships with Bruce it's also important to talk about their relationships with each other as dick Jason cass Tim duke and damian have all referred to each other as brothers and sister multiple times previously so even if there's not that straight forward relationship seeing Bruce as their dad there's also a complex relationship with each other where they all obviously see each other as something like siblings

*guy who looks for any excuse to talk about arkham knight genesis voice* its like that one panel in arkham knight genesis

like they can have trouble seeing bruce as their father but bruce has very little to do with the fact theyre siblings!!! they have all referred to each other as siblings even when they dont think of bruce as their father. theyre all a family even if its not as easy as it looks <3

like a good example to me is that i think dick & jason are always brothers even when jason is trying to distance himself from bruce. like in utrh jason says shit like "i am no ones son" but every time he interacts with dick in that era it gives "i hate my brother" vibes instead of just hating this other guy. plus the one thing rhato ever did right was the "i have four brothers" line despite the fact that it was in the era of jason leaving gotham and staying away from bruce. also ofc dick & tim have been brothers since like day one even though tim absolutely did not see bruce as his father until years later!!!

but also the fun part is even the siblings arent straightforward bc jason is dukes brother and cass is dukes sister but that does NOT mean jason and cass are brother and sister. also throwing steph in there bc steph is in no way bruces daughter, but she is absolutely damians sister but very clearly not a sister to some of the other batkids.

theyre all siblings but theyre also not all siblings but they are always siblings and will be forever. the end.

I have way too many alts that I keep to myself (which is why I generally refrain from posting them), but I'm going to ignore that habit for a moment just because I'm feeling particularly insane about this guy.

Ever since I learned that Xie Lian saved tiny child Qi Rong and defended him from bullies and that's where the little Qi Rong hero worship comes from I've been quietly losing it because it's just similar enough to Hua Cheng that he would hate it! There's quite a lot of differences, starting with the fact that Qi Rong did have other people (like Xie Lian's mom) and that his mom was able to leave her abusive husband before dying and go somewhere else where she had some support even if she still wasn't treated that great for a noble lady and that he was still a prince surrounded by riches and waited on by servants even if he was an outcast and laughingstock around his peers, and then even in terms of their choices after there's the fact that Qi Rong might say his violent behavior was defending Xie Lian but he barely listened to what Xie Lian wanted (Hua Cheng has also done bloody vengeance in defense of Xie Lian - 33 destroyed gods, 800 years of menacing and harassing fengqing - but now that Xie Lian is here to make these choices he isn't hurting people Xie Lian doesn't want hurt, even if they hurt Xie Lian terribly) and also there's the difference between "challenged 33 heavenly officials who actually physically hurt Xie Lian to a fight and then made them hold up their end of the agreement" and "tracked down and beat up the child Xie Lian went out of his way to save because saving them got Xie Lian in trouble" or " threw things at Xie Lian's shidi/servant for temporarily upstaging him at the performance they both planned out and worked on together". Most importantly is that Hua Cheng doesn't have Xie Lian up on a pedestal (at least, not one he can fall from), he doesn't have a perfect idealized version of him in his head, he's not getting disillusioned with differences between his idea of Xie Lian and the real thing - like Qi Rong was, and like he did, and that led to more and more fights between Qi Rong and Xie Lian until (presumably, I haven't actually gotten there yet) Qi Rong was disappointed with the reality of Xie Lian and the temple burning and kneeling statues and such came of it. (Somewhere in the first arc Xie Lian says something about that to Hua Cheng, about not having that level of devotion for someone you actually interact with because you might find out they were different than you thought, and I wonder if he might have said that thinking of Qi Rong specifically as much as the worshippers of Xianle as a whole.)

So it's not a perfect Dark Mirror situation, there's quite a lot of differences, but there's enough similarities it's pinging my parallel detectors... I think there's enough room to make a comparison there, or to call attention to some of those similarities, and that Hua Cheng would viscerally and immediately hate it if such a comparison was made. I can imagine and wonder about a situation where Qi Rong got de-aged, or hit by some amnesia curse or memory-stealer, or some other nonsense that'd lead to a Little Qi Rong running around, and wonder if that Qi Rong would look at Hua Cheng and approve xD Would he see Hua Cheng's devotion to Xie Lian and go "Ah yes, that's an appropriate way to act around Cousin Crown Prince! Finally someone else who's a normal amount of angry when Cousin Crown Prince is insulted!"? Hua Cheng would despise just absolutely all of that xD

Also shout out to the person who said in the tags of that airi post who said that half the debates in this fandom are over gender or sexuality because that’s true and it pisses me off immensely

oh great, I fell asleep again. except I had really horrible nightmares. and then got woken up by the doorbell, because a guy was here for the internet cables. i had just woken up and I was told before that they wouldn't need anything from us, so I was really confused. and he was the first rude one of all the people I've had to deal with since we moved in. I have literally nothing at all to do with any of this, I just live here 😭😭😭
