Hey max, sorry if this is a weird question but what made you wanna make babs so messy & hot headed in your universe? She’s normally the most well put together & level headed batfamily member besides maybe dick & or Alfred. (Depending on who’s writing)
/pt 2/ Not that messy babs is bad btw im just curious what ur thought process was while makin her!
hey ty for askin!! in my verse im really interested in exploring complex characterizations, specifically for women ! so for making her i really wanted to focus on how her childhood affected her, the maladaptive coping skills and behaviors she learned living in this environment, and how they cause her to interact with the people around her, and what it takes for her to change and grow to be a better person! i really like the concept, with babs, that on a surface level she looks pretty well put together, she's extremely proficient in her technology, is good at asserting her authority, setting plans in motion, and giving orders that people follow. BUT underneath this surface level she's barely keeping herself together. she's like the kind of person to put of a twelve page essay until the night its due, bust it out in 3 hours and still get an +A. but how long can that kind of behavior sustain you? how long before you slip up? its one thing to fail your test, its another to risk the life of your teammate q_q also my concepts for her really stem from what i think a realistic depiction of gordon and her relationship would be like, as well as how that would shape her as an adult? i think Gordon's role as city commissioner causes him to feel like he needs to control everything within his power, he's terrified of loss of control, i mean i cant imagine trying to tackle Gotham's crime problem omfg.. especially when his wife dies due to this problem that he genuinely has to way of making a meaningful difference in stopping, it really scares him! so to help himself deal with that fear he enforces unrealistic limitations of barbara, causing her to feel restricted and overwhelmed. he's very much a helicopter parent, and the fact she never was able to have a healthy amount of exposure to freedom before college is a big reason for why she crashed and burned SO hard there but yeah also! seeing barbara struggle with her behavioral issues so much and then learn how to be a better person and a more competent friend and leader feels a lot more rewarding to me personally! i think she had to work really hard to become the person she is as oracle, and i think it's nice to see that people, even if they fuck up and struggle, can still get better, and be loved!! i hope this makes some sense! i haven't done any extensive research into how dc canonically portrays her, more just stuff ive picked up around, but one thing i really love about her is seeing how, while she is a lot more collected than in my verse, shes still kind of a trainwreck in some aspects... like my friends have told me a lot about the birds of prey dynamic and this just sends me into orbit its so funny. you ruin someones life and think the way to make things better is... telling her you used to stuff your bra? girl youre crazy crazy <3
