cass does not know what a good father figure is and thats unfortunate
#OOC.#tbd#'BUT WHAT ABOUT BRUCE'#girl fuck bruce hes literally been paralleled with her atrocious birth father in the way he treats her#i know a lot of people do not like the concept of him being anything besides a 10 star father but unfortunately for everybody#the majority of the rob.ins n cass's plotlines revolve around the mistakes that bruce makes as a father/mentor figure to them#ive really really tried to like... work around it too because everybody really wants him to be worlds best dad to cass and i want that too#but alas#the bulk of her character revolves around how yet another father figure has absurdly high expectations of her with minimal reward and#minimal love.... he does not pay her much attention and what attention she gets is related to her job as batgirl not herself as cass#all she knows is her work this is a repeated cycle for her... he's NOWHERE near as bad as david was to her dont get it twisted he is not#an absolutely terrible unredeemable man but like.#she could do a lot better in the dad territory#also the amoutn of times that babs has to reel him back and be like DO NOT! FUCKING YELL AT HER FOR THAT! ARE YOU INSANE?#is absurd. babs is also not a phenomenal figure for her but i do believe they care for one another and she defends cass after their initia#l rocky ass start to their relationship. however babs has also said things to her that absolutely have stuck with her and hurt to this day#cass stopped talking with her for a bulk of her comic because she hurt her feelings so bad with one of her jabs... even though i get why#babs got to that point! im not even ragging on her like i am with bruce!#it was rocky and stressful and she said things that she regretted because she was frustrated with cass's refusal to learn to read and speak#and write at first and it boiled over. thats realistic and i Also do not enjoy that its swept under the rug#I JUST....#the point of this ended up being that i dont like how cass keeps being reduced to just. nothing. everybody gets along with her she gets#along with them we're all happy!#like NO literally every fuckin batfamily member she interacts with in batgi.rl 2000 she has conflict with and its realistic and im mad abt#it being ignored and erased because its so much more interesting to have her butt heads with people#because she IS somebody who cant relate to any of them and building genuine connections is so hard in her position#especially with how heavy her autistic coding is#on top of her extreme childhood trauma#i love that hse struggles so hard with the people around her and later comics erasing that makes me so GRRRGRGRGR#SJE LITERALLY ONLY CAN RELATE TO LIKE.... AZRAEL AND HE'S NEVER THERE!
