matching batfam to hotd characters bc I need to share my thoughts. all of these have reasons but some of them can’t be conveyed in writing. also, I’m considering characteristics and def not war crimes and murder just so you know.

ANYWAYS

Dick Grayson — Jacaerys Velaryon/Targaryen. older brother and older brother.

Young Jason Todd — Lucerys Velaryon/Targaryen. dead (died for their mothers doing their duty), also has a nice relationship with their older brother

Barbara Gordon — Baela Targaryen. just vibes.

Stephanie Brown — Rhaena Targaryen. rhaena’s journey and desperation for being a dragon rider reminds me of steph and her becoming spoiler then robin then being fired from her position as robin.

Tim Drake — Daeron Targaryen. vibes and nothing more. no reason needed bc I can’t think about one without thinking about the other.

Adult Jason Todd — Aemond Targaryen. Vengeance as their motives after being harmed by someone.

Batman — Daemon Targaryen. Conflicts with all on approaches to solving problems. Aemond vs Daemon, Batman vs Red Hood

Bruce Wayne — Viserys Targaryen. Bruce is different than Batman and my reasoning for making him Viserys is bc both are one of the main reasons everything goes down

Ra’s Al Ghul — Otto Hightower.

Talia Al Ghul — Alicent Hightower.

Damian Wayne — could not decide who exactly would be his hotd match. decided that damian would be helaena. both being placed in positions where they do not want to fight but they must fulfill their duty ultimately leading to them losing a key part of themselves and their kindness. never wanting to fulfill what their future will be but not being able to stop it no matter how hard they try. also damian and his drawings, helaena and her bugs.

selina kyle — Alys Rivers. vibes just vibes.

kate kane — rhaenyra targaryen. again just vibes.

now i know I’m missing so many characters from the batfam and hotd but idk who I’d match to who so if anyone wants to join or let me know who they would match to who I welcome it!

[ghost-bxrd]

You’ve read about Orpheus and Eurydice, but have you read about the sad sob who joined a shady organization just to keep his childhood crush safe? No?

Well then buckle in folks, cuz it’s gonna be a ride.

[hood-ex]

Remember when Dick fought Beast Bruce on top of a bridge, and Beast Bruce flung himself at Dick, sending both of them careening into the river below?

Titans: Beast World #2

My brain was so kind to remind me of a similar scene in LOTR when the Warg dragged Aragorn over a cliff and into the river.

[batsythoughts]

Hello dear! I am Salah, a Palestinian from Gaza, I am asking you to support my campaign to help me achieve my goal. I need your support now to help me survive and be safe. Gaza is a very dangerous place both in terms of living and lives. The family consists of 8 members, most of them are young children. I need your financial support to enable me to get the basic needs for my family until the Rafah crossing is reopened to transport my family to safety and peace. Please help a family survive through your small donations or through your contributions to others. Thank you so much for standing by those in need.

Hello Salah! I am so sorry for the situation that you are currently in with the war going on in your home land. I can't begin to imagine the hardships that anyone in Palestine and no Lebanon are going through at this moment.

I know sharing this might not do much, but I do know of a very ways that others can help if they don't have the money.

1. Listen to music

This playlist I found is full of songs that the funds go to Palestinians in need. You can put it on in the background as you do your everyday life.

2. Use filters!

On Tiktok, there are families that make filters to try and raise bits of money to support their families while struggling. Videos don't have to be public to gain revenue. You can only use the filter once a day, but you can use it one different days.

3. SPEAK UP!

There are people who blindly believe the media that is being shown to us. They aren't getting the same videos we have seen from the brave Palestinians that have shown us the true horrors that can be forced upon others.

And for those that can donate, please consider helping a family reunite with one another and begin rebuilding their lives. And if you are looking for organizations to give to, Anera is a wonderful organization that has helping people in Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan for over 50 years. Any amount to give them, whether it's one time or every month, is greatly appreciated to help with their efforts to betting the lives of those in the Middle East.

And as an added note, I don't care if people block me for supporting the innocent people in Gaza. I also don't want anyone to specifically follow me because they see this post either. I'm not claiming that people need to stop existing because of this. None of us are claiming that either religion needs to stop practicing their beliefs. This whole situation isn't about religion in anyway, but about greed and hatred from the leaders of oppressive countries. You don't have to be religious to understand that everyone deserves the right to exist in this world.

Salah, I hopes that this helps you in some way to let you see your family again. May Allah's hand guide you to the future that you are deserving of. And know that you have sisters and brothers in this world who wish the same as I do. You are loved dearly in this life and the next. None of us are free until we are all free.

Rainbow or Shadow?

[deathnotechaoskids]

HELLO WELCOME TO RINA IS OBSESSED WITH DC AGAIN SO IM GOING TO TELL YOU WHICH BATS I THINK THE DEATH NOTE CHARACTERS ARE

L- Bruce Wayne, the one all the robins are trying to live up to and prove themselves to

Watari- Alfred Pennyworth, I don’t think an explanation is needed

A- Dick Grayson, this is really based on mine and belle’s interpretation of A, but also the oldest/first robin and the first successor thing fit

Beyond- Jason Todd, the murdering and killed by joker (killed by light)

Matt- Tim Drake, a little bit separated from the rest of them, underrated and underestimated

Linda- Stephanie Brown, the robin often forgotten

Mello & Near- Damian Wayne, there are only five robins so they both are Damian, Mello fits Damian’s actual personality and Near fits the fact that Damian is a lot like Bruce, also taken from Mello and Near originally going to be L’s sons

Light- Joker, I think this is rather obvious

Misa- Harley Quinn, once again I think this is an obvious one, also I love Harley almost as much as I love Misa

Soichiro- Commissioner Gordon, a trusted ally of batman in the police department, Soichiro Yagami in a different font

Sayu- Barbara Gordon, a badass wheelchair bound superhero

closed starter for @wickedlvst

"go ahead. i'll just be a sec." the words were said casually, as if they both weren't half naked, as if the other girl wasn't perched on her thigh already showing off how wet she was with so little attention paid to her. river had one hand on her ass and the other holding onto their phone, reading an email that certainly could have waited. they liked playing these games, seeing what she would do to make sure river finally focused entirely on her.

i think the first time i read the black mirror my brain tried to protect my own wellbeing by forgetting about this entirely but that only means upon rereading it i feel like throwing up and killing myself in the back room

Event Info & Rules

WHUMPTOBER is a month-long, prompt-based creation challenge (think: Inktober, but whumpier). There are 31 official themes this year - one for each day of the month - which can be used, skipped, or combined in any way you’d like. They are meant to serve as inspiration without being taken literally (e.g. you don’t have to include the exact wording of prompts into your work). Feel free to run rampant on interpretation. For example, if the prompt is “flame", you could create something with reference to a candle/campfire, your character could have suffered a burn, or the flame could be a reference to an ‘old flame’ - an old relationship. It’s truly down to you!

In total, there are 4 prompts for each day. These are optional suggestions and can be used in conjunction with the theme, or as options/alternatives.  We want to give everyone as much creative freedom as possible, as well as increase event accessibility for folks with triggers and squicks. There is also a list of 15 alternative prompts that can be subbed in for any day, again to give participants as much creative freedom as possible.

Creators can PRODUCE work in any media they choose, including but not limited to: writing, visual artwork, photo/video/audio edits, paper crafts and elaborate recommendation lists (not just a list of links). Creators can PARTICIPATE as much or as little as they want (i.e. you don’t have to do ALL the prompts if you don’t want to) and prompts can be used in any order. They are also free to use even after the event ends.

When uploading Whumptober content to your blog, be sure to tag it with:

#whumptober2024 …..(the event tag)

#no.1, #no.2, #no.3, …..(theme number)

#bruises, #stabbing, …..(the theme or specific prompt you chose)

#altprompt …..(if you use an altprompt, tag the post with the number of the prompt you replace)

#fandom or #OC, …..(ironman, original content, oc, etc.)

#medium …..(gifs, fic, podcast, art, etc.)

#teeth, #etc …..(trigger warnings & any additional tags. Keep in mind not to add “tw” in front but only use the word/trigger itself)

#nsfwhump …..(only for nsfw content)

#your own tags go here

PLEASE BE DILIGENT WITH YOUR TAGGING. Only properly tagged posts are considered for archiving on the official @whumptober-archive blog. They must be tagged in the order above. An elaborate post about our tagging system can be found [here]

Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of participants in recent years, we cannot guarantee your work will be archived. A random selection of properly tagged posts from all genres will be reblogged each day.

Whumpers who produce content for 31 total theme days are considered event completionists and will be tagged in a masterpost at the end of the month. A form will be published at the beginning of November asking you to tell us if you completed. This is based on trust and we will not check this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please read this before you send an ask!

TIMELINE

July: Trope voting form released. Late August: Prompt list is released for at least four weeks of preparation time. Tropes cannot be posted earlier than August 25th because of Moderator obligations in real life. (But, you know, go ahead and start writing/drawing, and add the themes in later, if you want!) September: Do as much or as little on your works as you want. You can prepare everything in advance or let September go by with vibes and start working in October. It’s up to you. October 1st: Challenge begins! A storm of whump breaks upon us all! During this time, some posts will be reblogged to the whumptober archive blog. We open the yearly AO3 collection for posting (optional). November 1st: The challenge is officially over! Completionist form opens for those who want to be included in the hall-of-fame. Early November: We release completionist and participant badges, solicit feedback, and post a hall-of-fame list of completionists by the 10th.

PARTICIPATION AND COMPLETION

Q: What counts as participation? Create or continue at least one work inspired by one of this year’s prompts. Q: What counts as completion? Creating work(s) inspired by at least one prompt from each day (or alts), for a total of 31 unique prompts. Q: Do I need to create 31 works? No. You can, if you want. Or you can create one work that you add to every day with a new prompt. Or several works that combine prompts. You can also update an existing work by adding new material with the current prompts. Q: Do I need to post my works somewhere to be a completionist or a participant? No. Q: How do you know I actually completed the challenge? We’ll take your word for it! Q: Do I have to finish my work(s) to be a completionist? No, you can post WIPs. And you’re not obligated to finish them in October, but if you want it to count towards being a completionist, you must have completed 31 prompts by the end of the month. So for example, if you’re writing a long fic and you fit 31 different prompts into the writing you did in October, it’s okay if that fic isn’t finished by the time October ends, you’ll still be a completionist. Q: Is co-writing/illustrating allowed? Yes, absolutely, and it would count towards being a completionist for both/all of you. Q: Is there a min/max limit on word count for written works? No. Q: Is there a min/max limit of quality for art? No. Q: Do I have to do something each day to be a completionist? No. You can skip days whenever you want, and as long as 31 daily prompts (or alts) are in your works done in October, you can be a completionist. For example, if you wrote a 1000-word ficlet that covers prompts in days 2, 3, and 17, you can check all three days off your list even though it’s only one work. Q: Is this challenge just for fics? No! Artworks, GIFsets, headcannons, rec lists, poetry, moodboards, or any other creative work is encouraged. Q: Can I combine Whumptober with other creation challenges? Absolutely, as long as the other challenges allow it too.

PROMPTS

Q: How do the prompts work? There are FOUR prompts per day: a theme and three ideas. You can use one, two, three, or all four prompts for each day. If you don’t like any of the daily prompts, you can substitute one of the ALT prompts instead. Q: How strictly/literally should we interpret the prompts? As literally or as figuratively as you want. For example, if the theme is WATER, that could mean drowning, waterboarding, raining, swimming, take place underwater, be lost at sea, construct a metaphor about a character’s mood that changes like a flowing river, crying, or whatever else you can think of that fits that theme. Q: Can I combine prompts? Is there a limit on how many? No limit and combine as many as you’d like. If you create a work that checks off multiple prompts, that work will count for a fill of multiple prompts. You need to address 31 different prompts to be an official completionist, but you don’t have to produce 31 separate works.

WORKS

Q: What’s whump? Hurting a character, whether that’s physically, emotionally, intellectually, psychologically, or any other way you can think of. Comfort afterwards is optional. Angst is emotional whump, so it counts. Q: How do I know if it’s whumpy enough? If your character is just mildly inconvenienced, it probably needs more whump. However, no participant has to prove whumpiness to the mods. Whatever you write is up to you. Q: What kind of characters can I create for? Anything. Generic “whumpee,” OC, PC, NPC, major characters, minor characters, or whatever you want. There are no limits. Q: Does it have to take place in a specific fandom? No, you can create works for your own worlds or for fandoms or for both. You can also create more generic or pan-fandom works. You can do cross-overs or use OCs, whatever you want. Q: Can I create AI-created works? We will not reblog or promote any works we know to be generative AI-created. Q: Is there anything we’re not allowed to write? As long as it contains whump and is based on our prompts, it’s fine. Please courtesy tag your works if you post them so people who follow the #whumptober2024 tag can filter according to their preferences. Q: What about sex, minor characters, and potentially disturbing content? You can create whatever works are legal in your country and post them accordingly. Please courtesy tag anything you think might be objectionable if you post to Tumblr so people who follow the #whumptober2024 tag can filter according to their preferences.

POSTING

Q: Where can I post my work? Post where and how you want. You don’t even have to (cross)post it to Tumblr. Just keep in mind if it’s not on Tumblr we will not be able to add it to the blog archive. There is an AO3 archive for Whumptober 2024, as well as the parent collection for works completed outside of the event. Q: Can I start posting early? You can, but this is an October event and wouldn’t it be more fun with everyone doing it at the same time? We won’t be reblogging any work predating October 1st. Q: Can I post late? Yes. For the sake of our hardworking Post Fairies, only a day’s themes will be reblogged to @whumptober-archive each day of October. But you can post whenever. Some of us are still working on and posting Whumptober fics from years ago. Q: Do I have to use your tags? Only on Tumblr and only if you want us to reblog your work on @whumptober-archive. Q: How do I have my works reblogged to the archive? Properly tagged posts will be reblogged to @whumptober-archive. If you want the official archive blog to reblog you, post on Tumblr and tag correctly (see this FAQ link for more info on tagging). Please note not all posts will be reblogged each day. Q: Can we @ you? For questions and comments, of course. We’ll be getting a flood of notifications, so if you really want us to see something send an ask. Q: Can I cross post on other blogs? Yes, multiple platforms and blogs are perfectly acceptable, as long as they allow cross-posting (to us). You can also post different works to different accounts under different names, without posting them everywhere at once. If you post some works under your main and others under an alt blog, that’s fine for completionist purposes. Q: Can I upload/repost my Whumptober content to other social media platforms? Of course! We’ve created an AO3 Collection to archive any fics posted there, which can be found here. The blog is the official archive, so please respect the personal boundaries of any whumpers in your social circle (don’t out anyone as a participant who would prefer not to be outed).

Most importantly, have fun, create, and enjoy all the whump posted this October!
