[angelshipper]

saw your post about jpv in the tags and honestly. yeah the way bruce treats him makes me lose my mind. like DUDE. HELP HIM!!!

really i think why jpv doesn't go back to college and finish what he was doing is bc being batman long term during knightfall/knightquest/knightsend ruins his life (like, hallucinating st. dumas and his dead dad + calling himself nothing by the time bruce gets him out of the batsuit levels of life ruination) + he ends up homeless for an extended period of time.

i don't remember the issue off the top of my head, but i know there's a comic during dick's time as batman where some murder (or murders?? idk my memory's hazy lol) happens and he assumes it was azrael's doing because it's a similar M.O., and he visits him in the homeless shelter he's staying in, and jean-paul freaks out bc "you promised i'd be free" and that always made me sad when i think about it. :(

WHAT PLEASE TELL ME WHICH COMIC WHERE HE SEES DICK WAS BECAUSE THAT LEGITIMATELY MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH WORSE FOR HIM

Honestly that makes a lot of sense why he doesn't go back to his old life.

Seriously in an earlier issue he was mentally so damaged, he didn't bother trying to escape a fire because he didn't think it was real :(( it was literally so sad seeing him just wrap himself with a blanket as the fire surrounded him and it just made me so much madder at Bruce bc he just didn't care about the bullshit he put Jean-Paul through. Like he knew JPV was mentally unstable and still gave him such a heavy burden because it's so obvious he saw JPV as more expendable than someone like Nightwing. Iirc his reasoning for not asking Dick, who was by far the best option for a replacement Batman, was how "Nightwing is his own person" like JPV wasnt???

'90s Batfamily Week Masterlist

Due to an overwhelming amount of support, we are excited to announce that '90s Batfamily week will be happening! All the information for the event can be found in this masterpost, so please read!

90s Batfamily week will be occurring from November 4th-10th, so mark your calendars!

The prompts will be the following: Monday, November 4th - No Man's Land // Found Family Tuesday, November 5th - Knightfall // Secrets Wednesday, November 6th - Batman the Animated Series // Undercover Mission Thursday, November 7th - The Long Halloween // Horror Movie

Friday, November 8th - Contagion // Long Nights Saturday, November 9th - Prodigal // Western Sunday, November 10th - Teammates // Angst

Purpose

We wanted to celebrate the exciting dynamic of the '90s batfam, and especially feature some characters who haven't been utilized in more modern batfam media. We hope to engage with a community of fans that are excited to create and pull from fun '90s tropes and media.

How it works

This is an opportunity for people who'd like to explore the '90s Batfam characters, dynamics, and relationships through a variety of prompts. Romantic ships are allowed, but please make sure the Batfam is the focus of your work. This fanweek will have a dedicated blog. These prompts are free for anyone to use. Because it is a non-traditional, non-monetized, and free-to-opt-in casual event, there will be limited mods, no advertising of paid services. I will open a collection on AO3 at the end of October for anyone who wants their work collected for this event.

Rules

This is a SFW (safe for work) event. As a loose rule, please keep your works PG-13. For those posting on tumblr, please follow the site’s guidelines. Please no batcest.

What can I contribute?

Fanart (standalones, comic strips, etc.), fanfiction (one-shots, multichapter, etc.), fanmixes, gifsets, graphics— and more!

Some Final Thoughts:

If you engage with any of the fanworks, please reblog! Share the work with your followers. Support your fellow creators.

For this event, as you post your work, please use the following tag so we can repost your work on our blog!

Jean-Paul Valley/Azrael in Batman: Sword of Azrael

[junimo-hexed]

The Batfam goes to see Barbie/Oppenheimer

Bruce: Damian refused to see Barbie and Bruce did not like the idea of him going to the theater on his own. He eventually saw Barbie and wasn’t impressed.

Babs: she didn’t originally want to see Barbie because she felt it redundant and that it wasn’t going to offer much, she felt herself pretty much right, but something kept nagging at her. Something about it seemed familiar… Oh shit Batman is Barbie and we’re all the Kens. She explained her wild idea to Dick who responded “but, your my Barbie… oh shit you’re right.”

Dick: he and Babs fought about the order that they saw them in. Eventually he gave into seeing Barbie first and he's glad because he could not get Cillian Murphy's stare out of his mind. Something about it just scared him. He rooted for Ken to become a better person and is hoping that Ken finds happiness. He also adored every Barbie's outfit and dances to all of the songs regularly. He and Babs are going as Barbie and Barbie for next Halloween.

Jason: movie about a bomb? No thanks, he’d rather get glammed up for a movie that he thinks is going to be just a fun time only to leave with an existential crisis.

Tim: he debated with himself for hours over the order before pirating both and watching them at the same time. This was not the best decision.

Damian: he’s not ready to watch Barbie. Very film snobby about Oppenheimer.

Steph: *cough* so that Ken, am i right?

Cass: she didn’t have much interest in either. In the end she didn’t quite understand Barbie and thought Oppenheimer was alright. Cass isn't the most media literate and that's alright.

Jean-Paul: he didn’t originally plan to watch Barbie, but Babs called him and told him he NEEDED to watch Barbie. Like a good little brother he did. He related to Ken on a very deep level and by the end of the movie was balling his eyes out. He felt very called out by Ken in a good way.

Alfred: read two history books instead. And watched them during family movie nights by occasionally checking in on the screening room.

Jason, Jean-Paul, and Steph all related to Ken on a spiritual level, he’s just like me for real. They all feel like they're on the sidelines and like they pay the consequences of Batman's "righteousness". Dick, Babs, and Tim all related as well feeling like they're stuck in Bruce's shadow. Babs was there to help them all cope bought everyone Kenough sweatshirts.

I think if Jean Paul Valley were to read Terry Pratchett's "Small Gods" from the Discworld series it would fix him, actually
