(Slight Yandere) Damian Wayne x Shy Fiance Reader - He wants a big wedding

(they/them pronouns, "wife" title, Reader Insert)

Damian sits back in his chair, watching his beautiful Bride-To-Be scurry back and forth.

(Y/N) wants a small wedding, something "cozy" they say. A sweet wedding at Wayne Manor with modest decor and a guest list of their closest friends and family. 

Damian cannot fathom wasting this opportunity. To him, this marriage is everything. He wants the WORLD to know he and (Y/N) are madly in love. This is a celebration of his next chapter in life and to any rival suitors trying to take away his fiancee. This wedding would prove to every naysayer and enemy that he is worthy of love. He wants the validation of an extravagant wedding, showing off his wealth and lineage. The power move of inviting all his hero and nonhero colleagues, regardless of relationship status, and making them watch the ceremony. He wants to present his soon-to-be wife and have their full attention when that title is changed. 

Damian told his love of his plans, and here they are now. Pacing about all the things that make them nervous.

Having to speak, stand, AND KISS in front of a large crowd.

The overwhelming amount of lights, sounds, and people.

ALL eyes on them.

His beloved looks like an ant stuck in a death spiral. He intervenes as he always does to settle their anxiety before it gets out of hand. Slowly taking their hand, putting their head to his chest, and then leading them away to his seat. Here he places (Y/N) on his knee and looks up in their eyes. He is evaluating alternative wedding plans before a soft voice breaks his focus. 

"Do you think we can compromise? May we have a medium wedding please?", (Y/N) says with a giggle.

It takes a lot to break Damian Wayne. When it comes to his bride, it takes nothing at all. Their voice like cotton and their laughter like clouds, Damian crumbles in an instant. He can compromise              (maybe-).  

A medium wedding could work. It would be at Wayne Manor like his love requested, it would be scheduled during the daytime to reduce harsh artificial lighting, there would be minimal noise interruptions for their sensitive hearing, he could easily guide his bride away if the stimuli is too much. The wedding party could continue at Wayne Manor for hours after the ceremony while he and (Y/N) would be off on their honeymoon. Damian is more inclined to agree to these wedding terms, but the guest list is where Damian hits a wall. Damian may not care much for the invitees he would extend this opportunity to, but he does care about his pride. He wants to flaunt it all. What good is a lavish wedding to portray his precious (Y/N) if there is no audience?

Damian devises a plan to help (Y/N) "get to know" their wedding guests, without really having to get to know them. It is an ingenious way to familiarize them with the vast roster. Damian plans to talk endlessly about his acquaintances, friends, frenemies, ex-friends, some enemies, rivals, colleagues, and even some people he doesn't even know (but his brothers do) to create a parasocial relationship between them and his (Y/N). If (Y/N) THINKS they know a person, from what Damian has them, they would be more inclined to invite them and not be so nervous. 

Damian is overjoyed at this solution. It may work, it may not, but he can at least try. 

He is going to share this joy of finally having (Y/N)'s hand in his own way. 

Congratulations, Mx. Wayne.

I saw your tags about how you think Vio is not heroic when he tells Shadow why he IS a hero, and now the idea will not leave my brain. You are so correct. This is the best understanding of Vio's actions that I have ever seen.

YEAYEAHYEAHYRAH . OH MY GOD . the whole fucking speech about heroism and then they all blast shadow to bits or whatever. oh my god. its such a . brutal contrast to me.

"but as a hero, i never strayed from my hopes and my goals" oh my god VIO. VIO.VIO CRUSHING HIM IN MY FUCKING HANDS. YOURE DEFINING THIS AS AN IMMUTIBLE TRAIT . SOMETHING YOURE BORN AS . RATHER THAN A COLLECTION OF ACTIONS OF MORALS . AS IF CHANGE IN THE FACE OF CONTEXT IS NONHEROIC. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHADOW PROVES ***WRONG*** LATER. i love violet link. i love his flaws. im actually shaking him around. BLOOD. i love how vio is flat and unmoving in his belief here, and shadow is angry and hurt and visibly emotional, and shadow still gets to be in the right!!! even though he was deeply flawed and handled everything very messily, (and also BECAUSE shadow handles things emotionally) he changes his actions! and proves himsrlf a hero!!!!!!explo

So I'm trying to read Countdown to Infinite Crisis after I kept hearing how good it is and...

The vibes are fucked.

Like I've only skimmed the Birds of Prey stuff but the writer is straight up getting Ted and Babs friendship wrong. just plain wrong.

… this story and Ted's isolation hinges on him having no one willing (or in Booster's case able due to nonhero job shit and trying not to be homeless) to stand with Ted. Like he doesnt have several close friends. SUre some of them are dead at this point in this continuity but there should be folks willing to help him out. Fully willing not begrudgingly

like i noticed no Question thus far, even tho this is right up his alley and he and Ted are friends.

EVen if him and Bea had a falling out after Ice's death, i'd think an old friend in need even if yall broke off that friendship a while ago would be something to lend a hand with given superheroing can get fuckers dead

I'm not vibing with this story, the set up feels * contrived *.

Have you watched Andor?

Yes! I consider it the one live-action Star Wars thing produced by Disney that would still be good even if it wasn't Star Wars.

(That's a little hyperbole which I will not defend in an argument but nevertheless conveys my opinion of Andor and its context perfectly.)

It's a slow burn, especially those first two episodes, but I love the view it provides of the cross-section of the 'nonheroic' characters in the Star Wars galaxy. I find them all compelling, and I'm really enjoying how it's starting to come together in the latest episode.

I also have to call out the cinematography, something I don't always notice. I don't have a problem with the looks of the other Star Wars streaming stuff, as I do consider it television and as long as it looks better than the pre-streaming Star Trek stuff I will be content, but Andor stands out for looking as good as a movie. Its sets look real- which they might be for all I know. That dam base in the 'heist' arc had a lived-in look that had to be real. (It also reminded me of the first level of GoldenEye 64, which is always nice.)

in hindsight all my first ever medias were superhero cartoons and heroes journey ass novels and shit so idk why im surprised i really enjoy nonheroic protagonists and subverting the heroes journey

[anothersebastianblog]

"They probably mean that if bucky has a vital and heavy storyline in tb this could help showing even more range in dramatic roles rather that usual villain/dark roles" Exactly. I don't think Seb wants to be "made for dark roles" any more than he wanted to be a B-grade action star. AG, RP, AD, etc. get offered certain roles because people can see them as heroes (i.e., a good guy lead) due to their franchise roles. Seb's role in the MCU has been largely nonverbal, nonheroic, and in the background except when Bucky has been used as a plot device for the real stars, which is why he's been such a surprise to people in other roles. Bucky, the talking, maybe even occasionally flirty, hero who gets to show his angtsy yet mesmerizing good guy personality clearly on movie screens across the globe will really help level the playing field for Seb.

that leg still fucked but I don’t know how to fix it and I stopped caring.

RIP super detailed torso I agonized over

Pretty much every story I've read where Batman's parents didn't die has adult Bruce Wayne end up the ditzy playboy

I would argue that Bruce would still be extremely intelligent and dedicated, just in a heathy way with a good support system

So instead of JUSTICE he's obsessed with like idk BIRDWATCHING or THEATRE

[brinnanza]

if he had picked literally any other target in the whole of japan or even the world I would be an unapologetic gentle criminal stan wishing him absolutely nothing but the best and success in every single crime he ever commits BUT sneaking n onto UA will make my baby daughter sad therefore he can go directly in the bin
