Made a lil meet my ocs thing for some of my beloved characters

[torchflies]

Me, sobbing as I imagine an AU where Rooster runs away at seventeen, once he finds out that Mav, Slider and Ice pulled his papers.  

Where Rooster meets a girl who treats him like shit, so desperate to be loved that he puts up with it, and then — there's a baby. 

A baby boy that Rooster spends over twenty-two years raising all by himself after she leaves them, begging for help from the baby’s maternal grandparents because he has no other option. 

A perfect little boy that makes Bradley understand everything that Mav, Ice and Sli gave up to raise him, after his Mom died when he was little. He forgives them somewhere between his little boy’s first day of kindergarten and the first time his baby looks up at a jet plane and says “I wanna fly too, Daddy!”

His baby boy, who grows like a weed and then there's NROTC, college in two years flat and his little smarty pants graduates Top Gun the youngest ever — as a wizzo. His baby boy is a Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) and gets the callsign Kiwi for his big green eyes and love of the damn things. Bradley spends hours laughing his ass off, the minute he realizes a Kiwi is also a little fluffy bird. 

I need this AU so much, you don't understand. 

I need them to pull Bradley’s baby boy for the Dagger mission as a spare wizzo. 

Because you know who is going to have to demonstrate the same techniques in a F-18 single and double seater? Mav. 

You know who isn't prepared to get a backseater for the first time in decades? Mav. 

Especially not one named Nicky Bradshaw.

I’m genuinely curious when I ask this, but why do you hate comic! Bruce so much?

(I don’t mean this to sound like a “gotcha” or anything if it does come off like that)

I know there's many many interpretations of Bruce Wayne. A lot of them are endearing, cool to read, and fantastic (even comic versions).

However, there's this phenomenon in comics where they have Bruce beat the ever living shit out of his kids (physically, emotionally, or metaphorically) and then brush it off. They give excuses (or implied ones) on why this behavior is "acceptable." I've also seen a ton of arguments online following the same vein.

Stuff like "he was grieving/having a hard time mentally" or "his kid shouldn't have done []." It sickens me to read this shit or imply that his kids should just get over it (like Jason forgiving Bruce for the whole adrenaline fear thing [because what the absolute fuck]).

It's not every version of comic Bruce, particularly since there's so many writers. There is quite a lot of instances of this, though.

I just loathe watching Bruce abuse his kids, the blame getting placed on literally anyone else's shoulders (or it not getting talked about at all), and then them going back to a "happy, loving" family. It's this phenomenon.

That reads, to me, like domestic cycles of abuse. Yes, families can fight and make mistakes and all of that. That's not what's being represented.

A healthy dynamic includes accepting responsibility for your actions (without blaming or excusing them), making amends (without expectation of forgiveness), and communicating how to avoid said actions in the future. You especially never resort to violence unless you don't want a relationship with that person anymore (like if the batkids punched Bruce after he did something horrible and then went no contact).

So, the real answer is, "I hate when comics use Bruce's character to justify cycles of abuse and have him brush off responsibility of abusive actions as they have done repeatedly through decades of interpretation."

It's simpler to say, "I hate Comic!Bruce."

*otto voice* natsuki-san, instead of worrying about appearing “submissive and breedable”, please make sure your paperwork is submitted and readable.

Listen I think that redeeming Raimi Norman can be accomplished if you acknowledge he’s responsible for his behavior and don’t excuse it and just have him change aka the thing a redemption arc should be BUT know that if in the process you make Emily or Caroline Mulder or whoever the hell Harry’s mom was in this situation out to be worse or more abusive or more of a villain or in any way imply that Norman’s behavior was caused by her I am in your walls and you will not survive the night.

LDW's newest drama really reminding me that found family + crime really is the best trope of them all :'D aka yuri ( elise ) thinking like:

sometimes a family consists of you, your adopted brother, your paranoid adoptive father, his angry boyfriend who he kisses way too often for them to be just friends, the newspaper lady, a nerd, the coffeehouse owner who suspiciously knows a lot about weapons, an origami machine, and the inspector who feeds all of the above bc they're all more likely to fall over from forgetting to eat than from anything else.

bonus points for the coffeehouse regular couple who your father tries to stab at least once a week, but he's getting older, so it's been negotiated down to once a month now.

Been puzzling out Cybertronian social and pop culture for my fics and made some posters to go up in my ocs rooms. or whatever

Introduction post before I forget

I figured I should make an introduction post so followers and other users could know who I am or something.

Hi, I'm Vinnie, I'm a greasy high school kid with big dreams. I go by various different names like Nathan, Bacon (blame the discord art server I'm in, I'm Chris P. Bacon there), Syrus, or you can give me any other nicknames too I don't care.

I'm infatuated with the 80s and its music and style, my favorite movies from the 80s are the original Karate Kid movies, Back To The Future (all three movies), and Heathers.

I'm a huge Beastie Boys fan if you couldnt tell from the crap I post. I listen to other music too but Beastie Boys are up there at like the #1 artists I listen to. I like music from the late 70s-early 2010s anything modern kinda sucks in my opinion—don't attack me because I have opinions, so far Tumblr is the safest place for me to share my opinions, I don't want to ruin that.

Speaking of opinions and being attacked I really hate it when people get attacked for stating an opinion on something. It's a real bad pet peeve of mine.

I do joke around a lot, I don't expect to get attacked for joking around.

I'm an artist although I suck at drawing... 30 followers and I'll consider making an art blog.

I like to ramble and go on tangents like these, you may be convinced I have ADHD atp, but I haven't been diagnosed so I can't confirm that.

I also like to share this one Spotify playlist of mine, here it is!

Here are some pictures that represent me cos I like to make this an all about me school project. And plus I have no selfies of me.

Shirt found in Redmond, WA goodwill by my s/o that audibly made me say "UH OH" upon viewing.

(For those having a difficulty reading it says "I went from mama to mommy to mom to bruh")

Bangor, Maine Goodwill - July 26th, 2023

First time taking my new cell phone into the thrift store, and boy was I rewarded! Bit of a long post, so please bear with me. Less-funny stuff goes below the cut.

"I squat. Please see back for details" - [blank back] I only got the joke just now, as I'm making this post. (The wearer's butt is proof that they squat.)

"Squat: because no one raps about little butts. #ClubFitWear"

Thrifty Thirsty items: "One thirsty B[price tag]" water bottle and "Stay thirsty, my friends TM" t-shirt (Dos Equis beer).

multiple Milwaukee [power tool brand] t-shirts in a few sizes. Most just had the smaller logo on the back, but one had an additional slogan. "My tool lasts longer than your tool." I bought that one, as a gift for a friend.

"Tunnel of Oppression" shirt with Custom Ink tag still attached. UMaine did their installation in 2018/2019, but other colleges have had similar installations over the years.

"Ye Olde Timers Tournament" hockey shirt for UMaine's Alfond Arena. Design was just on the chest, to the side.

Shoegaze band tees: Turnover @turnoverva and Gleemer. The Gleemer shirt has the lyrics for their song "Cool Back".

Had left these behind but went back for them the next day.

Tiny plastic pig, glued to a rock, left in the crafts.

BeWaRe Halloween sign. Cute but too glittery for my tastes.

classic soup mugs with recipes

new stock, embossed metal lunch boxes: BFG and Big Bird

The 1993 Cows Cows Cows Calendar I liked that June's image included a cat.

Soft-sculpture doll with… startling? embroidered eyes. Idk, it just unnerved me.

"That's what she said" socks, from "The Office"

Giant, completed puzzle- a group photo of teddy bears

"Just another wine drinker with a scrapbooking problem" More like a font abuse problem. Bonus points for the K in "booking" being tipsy.

Not thrift, but this was the employee ID fob hanging in the car I scraped with my truck, as I was leaving the hospital.

pov: my book

(If anyone wants to hear about it PLEASE I need to talk about it with someone)

i will never complain about a book seeming like a fanfic with the serial numbers filed off because that means the author had the invaluable ability to tell when their au had diverged enough that these were just straight-up different characters now

I. I take it back for now, actually. I think I enjoy living.

tell your bitchy boyfriend that he should khs 🖕🖕.

(ooc — I think that dream pouts like a child whenever he's put in his place)

He’s not bitchy. He’s very sweet to people who deserve it ☺️

What, are you worried he’ll hurt you? ☹️ Are you admitting being fallible? I thought nothing we could ever do could hurt you? I thought Gods didn’t bleed, Dream. Maybe it would’ve been worth it to push you into one of those holes in Logstead.
