#havendance reads comics

[havendance]

Ran out of steam on the Year One vs Zero Year post for now and I don't think this is going to fit in it, so I'm just going to make it it's own post, but here's the evolution of an iconic Batman line:

The "I shall become a bat" line has been there from the beginning:

Left: from Batman #33 Bruce Wayne: A Bat! That's it! It's like an omen! I shall become a Bat Right: from Detective Comics #265, a silver age retelling Bruce Wayne: A Bat! It's like an Omen! I shall become a Batman!

There are minor variations, but they're largely the same. Frank Miller knows that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. He does, however add some embellishment and make one key innovation:

(Batman #404) Bruce Wayne: I have seen it before... somewhere... it frightened me... as a boy... frightened me... yes, Father. I shall become a bat. (emphasis mine)

He added the Yes, Father bit, and that's the version that's gotten carried forward to today!

(Batman (2011) #23 (written by Scott Snyder)) Bruce Wayne: Yes, Father. I shall become a bat.

(Well, two innovations, I suppose. Frank Miller also added the little bell as far as I can tell which, while not visible in this panel from Batman (2011) #23, is sitting on the side table in the extended sequence Snyder devotes to this scene, even though it's never called out. I'm inclined to call that more of an homage though)

Helena Bertinelli :)

How I feel about this character

before i even read comics with her, just from art and panels i'd seen of her i knew she was cool. i really loved reading batman/huntress: cry for blood and after that, reading huntress (1989) is what made me love her character even more. what stands out to me the most about her is how she's driven by passion for her family, for saving people and for justice.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

i really like helenarenee as both a romantic ship and platonic ship because of how well they get along and how much they care for each other. helenababs or helbabs is fun as a toxic yuri ship. helena and vic sage are cute together too.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

i think in a way i don't have a platonic otp for her because while she has a lot of important relationships, i feel like she wouldn't really have one person who is closer to her above all others, partially because of her sense of independence. one relationship i like with her that i like in a purely platonic way is helena and dinah. dinah was someone to offer her her trust and support and that's really neat.

My unpopular opinion about this character

this isn't exactly about helena but i think the art style in huntress (1989) is good actually and works really well for the series.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

i would like to see her more involved with her local community!! i feel like she really shines during moments where she does this. also, i want to see what happened with james!!

tfw u're on the verge of tears bc too many people are talking at once

sketchdump (again, mostly tim, bc even when i dont set out to draw him, i end up drawing him anyway):

dick & tim from gotham knights issues #8-10 have my whole heart

my friend got me a new pen:

and i've been reading a lot of upswings and havendance's fics where tim keeps showing up at people's apartments, as is his due (let him in!!)

tim using his cape as an emergency blanket!!

this stupid image has been haunting me for months:

if it wasn't clear from honeypot and the red dress comic, i like a very specific aesthetic

i wanted a red hood charm too:

(chibi catwoman tim from a old, larger spread "the latex spread" that i absolutely cannot post the full version of o7)

some really ancient doodles (proof that long hair tim has been important to me since the beginning):

if you have a to be read list/pile (comics, books, whatever):

what title(s) are you currently reading?

reading kitchen by banana yoshimoto & what went wrong with capitalism by ruchir sharma

also currently rereading the raven cycle & the dreamer trilogy because the gc made me feel sick about it... your 20s are truly all about regression

as for comics, i just started green lantern (1990) for kyle & i'm one issue into justice league: cry for justice (2009)

also rereading justice league of america (2006) for one of my fics which i'm halfway through but i gotta lock in

what title(s) are up next on your reading list?

tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow by gabrielle zevin

as i lay dying by william faulkner

impulse (1995) is hopefully the next comic i will read unless the Vibes take me somewhere else

want to go back and read helena's appearances in NML because i didn't know her like that when i first read it

what title(s) are your emotional support TBRs and you’re planning to get around to them. One day. When the stars align?

lmaoooo. i really, really need to get back to rebecca by daphne du maurier which i've been reading for like a whole year at this point. idk what it is because whenever i read it, i do enjoy it quite a bit and i'm a sucker for gothic hauntings... but it's just not happening for me :(

as for comics, any superman comic. i like clark & lois so much but i've only read their stuff in team situations/trinity stuff or batman/superman comics. i read action comics (1938) #1 this month tho so maybe there's hope for me, yet

also, i end up missing annuals for comics unless they're explicitly mentioned so i do need to go back through some of my already read comics and see if i've read the annuals for them

have you taken anything out of your TBR pile recently, and why?

is this a thing that happens bc it's never happened for me 😭 i do end up tabling stuff but it never leaves that mental space where i'm like i have got to read this one day

also, my TBR pile is scattered over my notes app, my safari tabs, my messages to myself, my drafts and like 20 other places so it's really just Vibes for what i end up reading

Did my own survey and came up about the same: 45-47 depending on how you weigh edge case characters like Sasha Bordeaux and Lady Shiva (I feel like they shouldn't count as straight bat characters for their own sake but Batman has its own gravity).

Just did a quick survey for the meme: 46/100 of my top 100 characters are Bat book characters. Which honestly isn’t bad going, though yea I could diversify more.

Weekly Batman/DC Fic Recs (1)

This week I've read two delightful character studies, one focused on Barbara Gordon and the other on Jason Todd. There's also a hilarious SI/OC fic from the perspective of Tim Drake and two fantastic fics where Lonnie Machin/Anarky plays a major role. Apart from that, two delicious smutty fics got an update: Bruce/Dick/Jason college au and Slade/Jason western au. We also have an amazing DCU, MCU and X-Men crossover oneshot! Hope you enjoy the recs <3

Jason doesn't see any point in stopping it.

Domestication Protocols for Nocturnal Fauna by rozaceous, vermillion_crown It’s been years since Tim's thought about the secret identities of Gotham’s winged wonders. A chance encounter while searching for college roommates that won’t burn the place down gives Tim a lead and the hope of new accommodations. The only thing he has to do is pretend that he doesn’t know anything.

Easy.

The Assassination of President Luthor by the Radical Lonnie Machin by NiteWrighter "Hi. I’m Lonnie. So I guess I should start out by saying, I don’t believe violence is a sustainable tool. It’s not. It’s a reflection of our ugliest, most base instincts. But it is the current language of the state, so I apologize for bringing my voice to the conversation."

President Luthor has been brutally killed by a magical weapon, and Anarky has claimed responsibility. The Justice League is struggling with the ensuing fallout, instability, suspicion, and speculation, while a power vacuum opens up in the world of the Rogues. What does a world without Lex Luthor look like? Is he truly gone? Has a greater chain reaction been kicked off by this single death?

The Half-Life of Sixty Seconds by sunnymusings "The problem with thinking like a detective is not actually that thinking like one is too strict or structured. There’s organization on a document, but Tim’s mind is not a bullet journal. It’s not a legal form, it’s not a spreadsheet, it’s not a ledger.

It’s messy and human and creative. Loose, unstructured, instinctual. Detectives aren’t good at solving cases because they work like machines; it’s much the opposite. It’s that creative mess which aids in seeing between the structure of presented facts, reading the code, and then cracking it. It’s like tracing a spider web back to its center. There’s an observable track leading exactly where one needs to go— a veritable method to the madness— but it’s still art, all the same, even to the broom that ruins it.

So, when Tim is presented with a countdown, it’s not just a mechanical, factual understanding of time that pushes hard against the inside of his ribs; it’s a too-clear visual of a digital clock-face, neutral and unyielding, counting down from sixty in his neocortex. Artistic and messy and emotional.

There is only one place to go once one is caught in the web."

Based on Red Robin #16. Missing Scenes and Relationship Building.

Nothing to Nobody by Jae_Cillian The kid—Jason—stared at Slade with wide, alert eyes. Big and round like a doe—startled in its grazing, frozen in the sights of a predator. He leaned forward, one hand still gripping the pistol but the other anchoring his weight against the floor as if to stand and chase after Slade. But with Slade’s eye on him, Jason didn’t dare move an inch. All tense lines and silent shudders of breath that Slade could see quake along the kid’s ribs, Jason reminded Slade of a stray dog. Snarling and snapping its canines when he got too close, but whimpering and whining when he walked away.

Slade wondered how long it’d take to tame the kid; and, thereupon, realized he might enjoy the challenge of it.

--

In which Slade, while chasing after the Joker gang's bounties and stolen payroll, finds Jason—battered, beaten, and abused at the gang's hands—alone in the mountains. Intrigued by the kid's feral tenacity, he offers Jason a chance at revenge.

Robins are an Invasive Species

Author: Havendance Fandom: Batman (comics), Huntress

Summary: Team up with a teen vigilante once and you'll never get rid of him again. Helena didn't sign up for any of this. Writing the fic I want to read, one Huntress and Robin team up at a time.

Readers Notes: This series sat in my TBR pile for months before I decided to pick it up in the hopes of reducing the size of the stack. It has 3 parts, Robins Don’t Make Great Roommates, Brothers Have the Worst Timing and, Batman for Dummies. Batman for Dummies is the longest work in the series and spans the No Man’s Land arc. I hadn’t read anything with Helena in it before this fic but after reading this I’ve gained a new appreciation for her as a character, and I love her and Tim as Batman and Robin! I love Tim, and Tim as Robin isn’t something I get to read very often. He’s difficult to write correctly, balancing the bat-competency and pragmatic realism with the optimism of a  young Robin!Tim. Havendance has done a spectacular job with these characters. If you’ve never read Huntress, this is a great place to start.

2024 WRITING REVIEW

tagged by @vechter <3

tagging uhh I haven't really been on tumblr for the past few days so I have no idea who's done this but @havendance @ahyperactivehero and anyone else who wants to do it <3

number of stories posted to ao3: 42 works.... uh... most of that is for whumptober to be fair....

word counted posted for last year: ..... 169,314. You could say I might have lost my mind a bit for the second half of the year. Just a bit, though.

fandoms i wrote for: Dead Boy Detectives, Honkai Star Rail, Genshin Impact, a little bit of DC Comics, and one Les Mis fic that I aggressively pretend doesn't exist.

pairings: Payneland, Catwin for dbda. I accidentally stumbled and fell into rarepair hell with Avenhill in HSR. I think I wrote one ratiorine fic? But I am still mostly a gen writer tho, and all my DC fics this time are various combinations of batfam interactions.

stories with the most kudos, bookmarks and comment threads:

Kudos - Thrice is a Pattern from HSR aka Aventurine exploring his suicide options in a land where he can't die.

Bookmarks - just a little fun on the road to hell also from HSR which is technically about avenhill but actually mostly about me temporarily losing all hints of sanity for 48 hours in an attempt to answer a question of how a guy who is metal robot from the neck down would fuck.

Comment Threads - The Case of the Anonymous Confession from DBDA. Another one where I temporarily lost my mind. Spent two whole days coding the CSS for it. It was a whole thing.

work i’m most proud of (and why):

His Pain Be Ours to Bear is my baby. It's been in the works since 2022 but I never really got started with it until 2024 for the Batfam Big Bang. I just really love it. It's not perfect and there's a lot of things about it I would change, but I also just really like how it turned out.

Also, I would be remiss not to give a special mention to The Case of the Anonymous Confession just because, again and I cannot stress this enough, the coding made writing the thing An Endeavor. I suffered so much, but it was worth it. The end result was pretty cool, though, if I do say so myself.

work i’m least proud of (and why): A Steady Anchor in the Open Sea. It was just so painful to write. It fought me the whole way through and I had to completely redo it so many times. It was for whumptober, and I liked to have my fics mostly done two weeks before they're set to post, but I was completely overhauling this thing two days before it was meant to post. And I'm gonna be real, I'm still not entirely happy with the end product but uggghhh. It's fine. It turned out fine. I know it turned out objectively fine, but there's so much bad associated with it that I'm still kinda mad at the fic.

share or describe a favorite review you received:

just one lmao? i love all of them. But if I had to pick one, I was really touched by this one just because I never really considered that people would be reading my writing through the years and still liking it. It was simultaneously very touching and very terrifying.

a time when writing was really, really hard: My first fic for the year was in May and I started it around mid-April? All the months before that were excruciating. I could not get a single word out. I don't even remember why, but I just couldn't make myself write for the longest time and it was awful.

a scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

I feel like I'm learning who Crystal Palace is as I'm writing her fic. There's just so many layers to her, and she's so complex that the more I think about her and write about her in the fic, the more she surprises me.

a favourite excerpt of your writing:

I am just. Really proud of this section from His Pain Be Ours to Bear.

Jason doubts the Nightwing costume will ever feel completely right against his skin. It’s not his, and maybe it never will be. Would he have picked it out if it was just him? Probably not. He didn’t pick Robin, either. But maybe that’s not really a bad thing. Any asshole could put on a few bright colors, come up with a dumb name, and start beating people up in the dead of night. Being a hero at all hadn’t really been an option for him, not until he first glared Batman down with a tire iron and the kind of bravado only a twelve-year-old could have. Jason doesn’t know the person he could have become without that. He might have been better, he might have been worse. He might not have died the way he did, or he might not have lived a life not worth living. Jason doesn’t think he wants to know. Dick probably wouldn’t have approved, but he’d still smile and clap his hand on Jason’s shoulder and he’d say, you’ll do great, kid, and he’d mean it with complete sincerity. Legacy is the weight of love. It’s not a bad thing to have.

how did you grow as a writer last year: Did I grow tho? Lmao. Of course I did. 2025 is the year where we stop self-deprecating language.

I don't know. I'm a lot more comfortable with smut now, which is nice. I think my fics are a lot more ambitious now. Outside of fic weeks and whumptober, I have Projects(TM) now where I just really dig deep into the writing and the prose and the characters. I think I've been doing that more and more as the years pass as opposed to just working on a fic for a few hours and throwing it out into the wind the way I did when I was younger, and it's an interesting change. I like to think that I'm better at giving my characters complex emotions, but I wouldn't say that definitively.

how do you hope to grow this year: I'm actually planning on trying to translate a few of my fics into Filipino this year. Just for practice. I don't really write in Filipino (or read much if we're being completely honest), and that's a pretty severe oversight that should probably be rectified. Also there was one tweet that went viral a few days? weeks? back that mostly had Filipinos talking about how good fic smut was in Filipino. And you know. I never tried that. It sounds like fun. I want to write degenerate shit in Filipino too.

who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer, beta, cheerleader, etc.): @redhoodieson has been putting up with my writing insanity at 1 in the morning for nearly a decade now, and 2024 was no different. god bless <3

anything from your real life show up in your writing last year:

The Case of the Anonymous Confession is technically set in Port Townsend but it's actually heavily inspired by that one FB post from UP Diliman Freedom Wall. In my heart, it's actually set in UP and those kids are iskos and iskas.

Oh yeah, I also made Catherine Todd Filipino in one of my fics and made her from my specific province. It's hard to describe in English, but we 100% speak Filipino with the same accent lmao.

any new wisdom you can share with other writers: Just keep going. I promise your writing isn't as bad as you think it is. Trust yourself and your voice and give yourself grace when your writing ends up in places you didn't expect or plan for.

any projects you’re looking to starting (or finishing) this year: I have a few things lined up for fab five week and jaydick week. I also plan to finish my wips from whumptober 2024. There's also one other dbda fic exchange that's due in February, so I should probably start that now.

There's that omegaverse avenhill fic that's gonna get written at some point. I promise. I will write it.

And uh, yeah. Translations. I'm still trying to pick out fics that wouldn't be too painful to translate, but I hope to get a few ones done for the year. Hopefully, I can also write a full fic in Filipino by the end of the year, but that's more of a long-term goal.

Okay meme for people to take their mind off today.

If you have a To Be Read list/pile (comics, books, whatever):

What title(s) are you currently reading?

My current books are Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal and The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers.

The comic titles I’m reading right now are a reread of The Gotham War.

What title(s) are up next on your reading list?

I am eagerly anticipating Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers, in terms of books.

I have the Monkey Prince trades from the library, so they just rocketed up my list.

And I’m also planning to finish Gotham Nocturne, Nightwing #111-118, Catwoman #59-68 and Poison Ivy #22-28.

What title(s) are your emotional support TBRs and you’re planning to get around to them. One day. When the stars align?

My bedside table currently has Pemulwuy by Eric Willmot, Circe by Madeline Miller, and Magnificat by Julian May sitting on it. Only Magnificat is a reread.

In terms of comics, I actually file much of my ‘I’m meaning to get to you’ list that I can’t always hold  in my head in the Favourite Comic Series list on DCUI and remove them when I finish them. Currently this contains: Arion, Lord of Atlantis; Batman: The Imposter; Swamp Thing: New Roots; Swamp Thing Winter Special; Swamp Thing 2000; Swamp Thing 2016; The Swamp Thing 2021; Birds of Prey 2020; Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey; Nubia: Queen of the Amazons; Nubia & The Amazons; The Legend of Wonder Woman; 52; Crime Bible: the Five Lessons of Blood; Batman: Gordon’s Law; L.A.W. (Living Assault Weapons); Artemis: Requiem; John Constantine: Hellblazer; Far Sector; Zatanna 2010; All-Star Superman; Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld 1985; Green Arrow/Black Canary; Let Them Live! Unpublished Tales from the DC Vault’ Adventure Comics 2009; and Teen Titans 2003.

Which is a bit of a mix.

Have you taken anything out of your TBR pile recently, and why?

I am giving myself grace and allowing myself not to bother going back to attempting to read the various Super Sons titles right now.

I’m going to tag @havendance, @androxys, @theaudientvoid, @the-batacombs, @tallochar, @scintillyyy, @late-night-dreamings, @mintchocochipsposts, @avayarising, @kara-zor-els and generally anyone else who wants to join in.

Ten People I'd Like to Get to Know Better

tagged by @dangerousdan-dan thank you ^_^ <3!

Last song: Wild Sage by The Mountain Goats

Favorite color: Orange 🍊🧡

Last book: I haven't finished any books this year because I've mainly been reading short stories and comics ^^; but the last book I finished in it's entirety was the no man's land novel and the book I'm currently reading is the dumb house by John Burnside.

Last movie: In the mood for love! I just watched it this saturday and I really liked it :]

Last TV show: I think it was revolutionary girl utena which I last watched in august I think and I still haven't finished it

Sweet/savory/spicy: Sweet!! I love sweets a lot.

Relationship status: I don't do that kind of stuff I guess.

Last thing I searched: My university's website.

Current obsession: I think it's still just comics for now.

Looking forward to: Winter break!!!! and more of batgirl (2024) too

Dan's bonus topics :)

Favorite drink: I love a shirley temple!!

Song playing on a loop in your head 24/7: Virgin Suicide by Kinoko Teikoku

Current favorite character: A character that I started really liking recently is Tim Hunter! otherwise I still have the same old favs <3

Fun activity you would like to get into: Hmm I guess watching more movies. I don't really watch movies usually but I remembered how cool they can be and there are a few I'm interested in watching. Also, I'd like to get back into modular origami when I have the time.

Last video game: I guess it was dark souls... I last played it in the summer.

Last comic/graphic novel: Last night I finished when I arrived at the castle by Emily Carroll and I'm currently in the middle of reading nightwing (1996) and hellblazer (1988).

no pressure tags: @franollie @vechter @chepib3 @havendance @lemonlimestar @mrsbertinelli and anyone else who's interested!!

[androxys]

I was tagged by @havendance for a "get to know you!"

Last Song: "Mama's Broken Heart" by Miranda Lambert, because sometimes you have to listen to a woman going a little crazy. As a treat.

Currently Watching: The only show I'm currently keeping up with is My Adventures with Superman, but I'm hoping to sit down and watch all of Good Omens Season 2 soon!

Currently Reading: Comics-wise? Uhh... for brevity's sake, let's just say Batman Chronicles and Batman: The Cult. Non comics-wise, I'm about to start Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous.

Current Obsession: Yeah it's going to be DC comics forever. More specifically, I recently resurfaced from a deep dive on Barbara's recovery timeline once she gets out of the hospital post-paralysis. The timeline makes no sense and I keep digging deeper. In other realms, I just finished moving, so right now I'm spending a lot of time thinking about houseplants.

Sorry if I ping anyone with this who has already been tagged in a past version of this! The original prompt said 9 folks, so here goes: @azbats @clearbluewaters @upswings @wildflower-ditch @theultimatepomegranatestan @sporkberries @scintillyyy @silverwhittlingknife @mintchocochipsposts

For the comic ask, 29?

29. The comic you’re currently reading (or want to reread soon)

Right now I'm reading Immortal Thor, which I'm catching up on! Actually, BOTH the letters I sent were in issue 12 which was ASTOUNDING and very exciting! (I included them below the cut)
