Day 1483943 of being cursed with Batman brainrot so snippet of young ghoul!Bruce wip, that may or may become a oneshot one day.
Bruce wants to vomit.
His heart, a stupid sluggish thing, which beats far too slow to sink into the bounds of normal, truly begins to pound furiously now, desperately, ready to yank free from the cages of bone and fatty tissues, the too dark blood and pale skin. Bitter bile begs to be released as he trembles, helplessly trying to keep the blood from his mother’s side, where it's staining the ground in spite of his efforts, so terribly warm and worse yet—a horribly sweet.
It actually smells sweet.
Bruce wants to vomit.
His heart, a stupid sluggish thing, which beats far too slow to sink into the bounds of normal, truly begins to pound furiously now, desperately, ready to yank free from the cages of bone and fatty tissues, the too dark blood and pale skin. Bitter bile begs to be released as he trembles, helplessly trying to keep the blood from his mother’s side, where it's staining the ground in spite of his efforts, so terribly warm and worse yet—a horribly sweet.
It actually smells sweet.
Sweet like candies do, soft and delicate like cotton candy, like cakes fresh from the oven, caramels carefully salted, but its blood. His stomach, this stupid body, is panicked and horrible and hungry, because the blood is fresh and warm upon his hands, the scent thick and nearly choking upon his nose, and he’s never wanted to throw up more. His vision blurs, swimming, details cast aside as body deforms into dark, bloody shapes, stiff and still, frozen in horror.
He knows their hearts cannot beat anymore, the familiar pitter patter like rain against a windowsill, the pleasant hum like the fridge in the kitchens, like the distant buzz of a hive at work, is cut. Finished. Struck and left rot, stagnant.
And still, in spite of him, in some horrible, awful might of the wretched, this wretched body, the smell is sickeningly sweet, fresh and truthfully, insidiously, delicious. His parents, the bodies, are ripe like fruit, sickeningly fresh, coating the back of his throat with the slow trickle of hunger, the stench of buttery baked goods, a touch of saltiness, an overwhelming soft sweetness, just begging for just a single, tiny, bite. Their bodies fell like the too fat fruit hung from the property’s trees, blood splatter like bruises across their skin from the impact.
If Bruce closes his eyes, stunning backward and hitting the wall, ignoring the rattling breath and horrible hiccups, he’s been shoved into a shop, goodies and treats to be devoured, the very touch of a perfectly soft, heavy cake desperate for his teeth to sink in and finally chew.
As the roar of the sirens grow closer, the red ooze coats his trembling hands like syrup, Bruce’s stomach growls, cruelly, and his mouth, betraying, is filled with drool.
The wretched stain of hunger paints the memory still.
———
“Master Bruce? Are you hungry?”
No, he thinks, he won’t be ever again. He scarcely even turned his head, rooted to his parent’s bed and wishing it would just swallow him whole, spare him the mercy of existing, the prickling pain of hunger, the choking memory of blood at the back of his throat, oh so sickeningly sweet.
The funeral was a blur of tears, muddled blurring tones of weary speeches, cousins he didn’t care for, food he didn’t—couldn’t eat, and others he couldn’t make himself swallow. Again, his stomach squirms in the discomfort of hollowness, to be empty, but Bruce doesn’t move. He doesn’t want to. He doesn’t want to do anything. He tries to sleep, but mockingly, it doesn’t come, exhaustion perched right beside him, filling his limbs with concrete, but blissful unconsciousness avoids him like the plague.
Alfred lingers by the door. Warm, yellow light spills in from around his looming shadow, but it does nothing to curb his vision, darkness and light nothing but a blur, a matter of taste and not a dive into blindness, because his eyes are different, his body is monstrous, and yet he still survived. Untouched the rain of bullets, the spray by blood.
“Not even a snack?” Alfred tries. He can hear the trying smile.
A short sniff, and the speckle of animal blood lingers in Alfred’s fingers, finely chopped chunks of meat arranged in simple shapes, triangles, circles, barely cooked and raw. Savory, juicy, and bursting with flavor to make saliva pool in his mouth. Disgusting, foul, wretched, that makes him squirm.
But Bruce just buried his head underneath a pillow that still carries his father’s cologne, and trembles. One day it will fade and Bruce will bath it in bottles of cologne to make it stay. He’ll buy the whole company just for a single, fluffed pillow.
Alfred steps closer. A specific spot along the floorboards creak, announcing the distance, but Bruce can’t make himself care. He just aches.
He squeezes his eyes shut and tries to inhale cologne over blood. He tries to ignore how his stomach feels like a knife trying to carve him open, despairingly empty. It hurts. As he sinks into the sensation, clawing and desperate, a gloved hand finds itself in his hair, incredibly gentle, so horribly soothing, undeserved, and he begins to crumble. He is held, gently rocked and whispered meaningless promises, lies of getting better, and they loved you, and I’m sorry’s, but the ache inside him is blooming, swelling, overrides his senses and brings him to tears, clinging onto the touch, starving.
When he wakes in his parents bed hours later, there is a meal, warm, sitting by the nightstand and a small cup of blood, cool, beside it. His body is a weak thing, shaky and oh so cold. The blankets upon him are thick, suffocatingly warm, windows shut and curtains drawn, but he’s chilled to the bone. His stomach wants.
And it’s right there.
He brings it to his lips, hands shaking ever so lightly, grabbing bare with his own palms and sees the blood coat it, syrupy. He wants to lick it. He wants to throw up. The body wants to eat. He feels so weak, and his body, this body, it demands and screams and aches. He puts it in his mouth. He wants it to taste like ash and rot, he wants it to taste like chewing molding wood and inhaling dirt, he wants to taste like dirty sewer water, putrid and foul.
It doesn’t. It’s incredible.
It’s undeserved.

i am presented with two ppl + one option. one appears to like me very much and we have great chemistry and they're witty and ambitious and studious and have similar goals in life and they write beautiful poetry about politics and people and they seem very kind and want to make a difference in the world. they text me to make sure i've had a good day. the other one is none of those things but they are so hot and evil and also they don't like me even a little bit and i've told them that i genuinely wanted to kill them, a lot. i'd give everything and anything for one of them and not the other
#lobotomy time??#meeting the first one today btw#were going to study tgth#omg theyre able to be so studious its insane like they just sit down and do their work for like 8 hrs#the first one is a few months younger than me the second one is a few years older. the first one is full of sunlight. older one says they#have a tainted heart. these words will speak themselves i can feel them in these blankets and theyre surrounding your figure#braced in the quilts. i've tasted both of their lips. one wears cherry chapstick and one wears strawberry. i forgot which is which.#one taught me a lot about riots and chicago and the mountains and it felt like i was with them in the big fields of their childhood.#we opened our eyes and there we were again staring at the conference of the birds in a london bookshop arm against arm.#the second one knows the relief of laying on a cold marble porch as a kid in the middle of a hot iranian summer.#all of us have shot big rifles when we were kids. both of them say theyre good at letting go.

most fucked up thing at my new job is there's only zero calorie sweeteners at the coffee station in the break room. three different kinds of zero calorie sweetener but no regular sugar because the assumption is that literally everyone is on a diet?
#is this because its a job dominated by women in particular??? idk#that's so weird#like sorry i can taste the difference and i prefer naturally occurring sugar from nature how is that not even an option#drinking nasty bitter af coffee bc i am So Sleepy but i refuse to use artificial sweeteners#they Do taste different and they're not even good for you im not doing that lol#also they got mad at me for telling one of the parents that we took one of the kids temperature and it was 99 and he threw up a little#when his dad came to get him yesterday and all of the other teachers were nowhere to be found#they were like tou shouldnhave had colleen do that#ma'am colleen went home before that and so did you#i should have left already too but waited bc the ratio on the playground was bad#anyway i did NOT say he had a fever i said it was 99 and to talk to the teacher inside#but the dad didnt yalk to her clearly then went home and scared the mom that he had a fever and threw up so she texted my boss freaking out#i literally just said he threw up a little and we took his temperature and it was 99 and to talk to the other teacher#which was all true and there was no one else there to tell him#anyway#apparently the person who had my job before me was a wacko who scared the parents with fake medical information or something#but that is not my fault and nobody told me that or not to tell the parents anything medical until this morning#ugh#also my supervisor is kind of a weirdo#she wanted to show everyone ~cute~ pictures of animals she has killed while hunting???#and i said i didnt want to see#and she was like ~oh it's not dead yet in the picture~#like okay but its dead now???#she traps them first so its a cute little fox in a trap about to be killed 😭#like wtfff#i know trappong predators is a reality but why take pictures like ohhh so cute then kill it#THEN show everyone the cute pictures like yeah isnt he adorable i killed him btw <3#huh??????#she has a bobcat tail on her keychain too she was giving it to the teachers and kids to pet like ohhh its so soft <3

Having salivated over European food yesterday, here’s the head children’s takes on gastronomy:
#just pav things#Inigo’s favourite food has and will always be paella 🥘#that or a good creamy risotto. rice in it’s most flavourful and nutritious forms is his comfort food ✨#And it makes sense because rice is filling! It helps tide over the heightened anxiety that comes with not eating for long stretches of time#And he also has an affinity for seafood considering he was born in Seraphin. The fondness for it is in his blood.#Especially prawns~ (good thing Amonea has many of them!)#Dism’s tastes in food lies more in the rich saucy/soupy realm of dishes#like coq au vin because I can tell he would like chicken the best#though if he’s anything like me than rajsko omačka should be his favourite 😋#he loves soup and stew :) (remember he had all the time in the world once to slow cook and develop the flavours of these to heaven ✨)#Cynthia’s palate can only be described as unrefined but she loves pizza (don’t they all? don’t we all?)#Matching her high sugar intake anything with a high amount of lipids (fats) is also in her tastes#like cheese and fried things and fried cheese (have u ever tried a cheese schnitzel? THEY’RE SO UNHEALTHY BUT THEY’RE GREAT)#Archie likes his food spicy >:3 He has a much higher spice tolerance than his brother#It’s a direct influence of the spiriters btw. They’ve dulled his sense of taste alongside his vision#And so Archie enjoys spicy things because he can feel something actually ✨#He also likes his starches in the form of noodles 🍝 (Dism is privy to potatoes— especially mashed potatoes— instead)#Archie will eat literally anything though let’s be real. He’s gone through too much food insecurity to be picky#He’d still cry (positive) if you gave him a beautiful cut of red meat though#Very much an enjoyer of bourguignon :> or steak. he’s more carnivorous than one might assume looking at his physique#And unlike the flavour enthusiasts that are the boys Idyllia much prefers things that are subtle and reserved#lending herself more towards pudding and yoghurt and crème brulee#or waffles with maple syrup! Croissants! Flaky little pastries! Things that are easily digestible bc of her medical treatment#And Archie’s kids? Luna likes foods with soft textures. Theon has no preferences because of his upbringing and finds ordering food hard#Ewan is notoriously picky but he likes homestyle creamy cooking with game meat. I like the implied cannibalism that arises from this.#Rabbits ofc are game meat and honestly if the people of Phyme were eating each other that would only add to the cult vibes ✨✨✨✨

#also not tagging the kaveh tag in case someone forgot to block the tag due to spoilers#kaeyachi randoms#so anyway here we go#wtf is that back story why is it so painful#its incredibly realistic as well coz that can happen irl#also since we are going to fontaine i genuinely wonder if kaveh has a half-sibling there that will become a playable character someday#imagine the angst hnghh#loathe his mother so much sorry shes depressed but that has never been an excuse to be a POS#i have the same opinion about huffman btw like yes life is tough but who tf leaves a kid alone to do all the housework while u drink#even his specialty food has a backstory can yall believe it?#someone really enjoyed writing kaveh. good for him#now i have 2 depressed alcoholic babygirls who have a hard time accepting love and affection because they dont think it will last#what does that say about me when i kin them? who knows. im just a random internet person with specific tastes apparently#kaeya and kaveh meet and just start supporting eachother pls#they would be besties fr coz they would know how to ease eachothers troubles#kaeya and kaveh: no home? same. cheers to that mate#kaeyas bio dad and kavehs bio mom sweating as they feel kaeya and kaveh fans curse them to hell and back

do you know how many years it's been since i had my favorite donut NO ONE makes a chocolate old fashioned anymore
#okay safeway has them sometimes but they're really not very good#btw i mean the kind with the plain cake and chocolate icing NOT the chocolate cake one that doesn't count#when i was a kid the ONLY good thing about church was that afterwards you could go down to the auditorium in the school and#get coffee and donuts (for the early services bc some people followed an old rule about no eating before communion on sundays)#(we didn't do that thankfully or someone would have gotten eaten)#but anyway my dad would always search out the chocolate old fashioned because he is a Man of Taste and he would share it with me#wow i haven't thought about that in years#fuck i want a donut and to be 4 years old again#donuts

I think my only truly controversial opinion is that Disney's hunchback of Notre Dame is... mid? I mean, it's good? But I really don't get the hype?
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I watched it for the first time as a teenager instead as a child so it doesn't have a grip on my nostalgia?
I was excited to watch it, people said it was "super dark and mature and the villain was incredible and the animation, oh my God, the animation!" And hm... no? You lied to me on the internet!!! HOW DARE YOU!
Hey, the songs are crazy good, okay? The songs are something else. Seriously, I get the hype for those. Bangers, absolute bangers...
But the animation was just okay? The tone shifts caused whiplash. It wasn't as dark as the internet loves to chant, and idk... I was kind of disappointed after I watched it.
And I watched countless video essays about it. Maybe I missed something. It happened more than once, okay? Maybe I'd change my mind! But I just can't agree? I really don't like that movie, actually... I like some things about it, but no, I don't feel the need for a rewatch :/
And the funny thing is that the complete opposite happened with the beauty and the beast... I was ready for disappointment and I fell in love with it and now I am the one who is ready to write essays about it.
Also, can we all agree that the transformation of the beast left everyone disappointed? Like, oh no- please grow a beard and body hair again. PLEASE
Ah- who said that?
#I was always more of a Dreamworks fella anyways#my second movie ever was literally shark tales#of curse I have shitty taste in life#steel rambles#btw to clarify it is a good movie#the characters are good and all#but honestly maybe it was just unlucky since I read the book qnd watched the musical first...#or maybe it was that my expectations were too high#never have high expectations kids#you will be disappointed#I'm open to debate btw I cahnge my mind easily with good arguments#it's just harder to do with this movie

6:A song that makes you want to dance?
oh my god you totally picked the hardest one right off the bat-- half my music is just music that rocks to dance to because of my former theatre kid-ness sldgldlgjsdljgsdg
if i really had to pick it'd probably have to be something off the mad rat monday/mad rat eternity album tho: maybe In N Out, Puny Luna, or Diamond Spade club.... It's a rlly hard pick because these are all just such jams. it's fucking unreal how good they are
youtube
youtube
youtube
#now that i think abt it this is probably the funniest thing for an autistic theatre kid to say they like#'oh do you like (insert x musical here)?' no. i like the funny rats.#to be fair it's probably also the warriors + edm i listened to#my music taste is such a fucking wreck but i'm having fun <3#check out chongo's music btw#they made literally some of the most bizarre things work for this song and it's something i respect so deeply#who else could make that song from the bad titanic movie sung by a random dog sound good? not many that's for sure

i feel so bad for people who think cherry flavoring is terrible and tastes like medicine. it means that their parents gave them cherry flavored medicine as a kid (the worst flavor for medicine) and it soured them on one of the best artificial flavors forever. that's fucking tragic. i can't even blame them for not liking it.
#grape is the best flavor for medicine btw#it meshes a lot better with the Medicine Taste#grape as a flavor is usually mid but soemtimes really good (like grape nerds or some grape sodas)#i had cherry medicine a couple times as a kid but not enough to ruin it for me#my posts

no actually I'm making my own post cuz. months and months of therapy to realise "hey maybe I shouldn't feel like I need to raise my brother AND be my mom's partner/best friend/therapist/ shoulder to cry on etc etc. But it took me a while to even realize this and yesterday my mom just up and said it. She told me to do some laundry and later asked my brother to do the same. I was picking up the laundry from HIS room and when I got to the washing machine he had turned it on but didnt turn on the water. So I fixed it and put the clothes in etc did laundry. I called my brother and said "hey pay attention when you turn on the washing machine cuz if the water isnt on it could damage it" (which is something I had already told him a couple of times but anyway). My mom hears this and instead of backing me up or even being quiet she goes "wow you're a bad mother lol" ?? I'm like sorry?? I dont have any kids??. She was like "well youre still raising your brother badly, I told him to do the laundry and if you do his chores for him hell never learn" and I go "well Im definetly NOT his mom and also you asked me first and I didnt hear you asking him the same exact thing right after, before I could even gather all the clothes" she goes "well you're still gonna be a bad mom" LIKE YEAH ELEDEST DAUGHTERS SHOULD BE ALOUD TO BE FUCKING EVIL I should be biting people in the street or smt
#this didnt even bother me that much its just like damn how does she not realize#also btw my dad is in the picture#as in they are not divorced hes not abusive he aint dead#he just! doesnt really translate to my mom as someone to raise her fucking kid with like I do#which? ok? now thats my problem apparently?#wtvr I guess she doenst know its just#I have this thing I reeally wanna be a mom#like a good mom#not flawless cuz yk thats impossble but#definitly at least ok and fair#and her saying I was gonna be a bad mom and AM a bad mom even before I have any kids kinda#left a bad taste in my mouth#anywyas#vent#rant#personal#mom vent#eldest daughter#i love my family they are just exhausting
