#the man has murder in his eyes

[littlefankingdom]

I have seen, multiple times, people saying that Bruce took away all the evidence of Joker having killed Jason to, either, protect their identities and so himself, or the Joker himself.

Well, I needed something from A Death in the Family for a fanfic I'm writing, and I came across that moment talking about Bruce removing the evidence. And, lo and behold, y'all lied.

Bruce removed the evidence because he was planning to kill the Joker and he did not want the justice system to be involved. He thought it was his responsibility to end the Joker and to bring justice to Jason, his son. This is also the same reason for which he didn't told Dick about Jason's death later (It is told to us that Bruce wants to do this ALONE when he refuses to tell Dick), because he knew the young man would want to get involved and would probably stop him from killing Joker. Also, Bruce admits to Clark that the only proof he has that Joker did it is Sheila's dying words, and he later has to confront the Joker to be sure, so the evidence he got rid of probably did not point toward the Joker enough for him to be arrested. Anyway, Bruce nearly broke his hand by punching Clark when Clark told him Joker had immunity. Like, don't underestimate how much this man loves Jason.

Bruce: The cops continue their search for the cause of this tragedy, evidence I've already removed from the scene. Let them write it off as an accident. There's no reason for them to be involved. This is a personal matter. It's something the Joker and I should have settled between us a long time ago.

Bonus: Bruce telling Clark the Joker killed his son after Clark tells him he learned about Jason's death.

Clark: (the panel before) I read on the Telex about your ward, Jason Todd, being killed in an Ethiopian warehouse fire. Was he Robin?

Bruce: Yes.

Clark: I'm sorry to hear that. He seemed like a really nice kid.

Bruce: He was. Jason was the best. The Joker murdered him.

I love how vastly different June and Levi are and how their relationships with Enver differ in so many ways.

If Levi is a guy believing he is equal to gods, then June is, at his core, a prodigal follower.

It's a pattern he doesn't break out of even as he betrays his father for Selune. Gortash didn't manage to shake this part of him, only created a push, allowing June chose a god other than Bhaal (i.e. June didn't want Enver to die, realized he didn't want to die himself and entered a pact-like relationship with the Lady of Silver to prevent these two things from happening.)

The hardest thing for him is to go back on his word/dismantle the existing alliance. His mortal flaw is loyalty, blind loyalty.

So at some point his story comes to a crossroads.

He can either reaffirm his alliance with Gortash, unknowingly dooming him a Gortash himself, not to mention death of Duke Ravengard and many other casualities.

In this scenario Gortash dies from the psyonic command of the Nether Brain and June becomes the hero of Baldur's Gate and the new archduke.

Which sounds fun and games until you realize it also includes him becoming a new Chosen of Bane, because June might have learned how to break out of his father's chains, but he doesn't know what to do with himself and, after his and Selune's ways part, is an easy prey for gods with less than honorable plans.

The other road comes with stabbing Gortash in the back, metaphorically speaking. It includes the wicked choice of putting a tadpole into his head and making him cooperate because "oh, but I can just relinquish the protection astral prism bestows on you. I am sure you'll love being Elder Brain's thrall".

It's a choice what leaves absolutely everyone (well, not EVERYONE) horrified because not only they did not expect that from June, but also looking how pleased June is with himself by walking Gortash into the corner opens their eyes to the fact what he is not, in fact, a hero. He was a villain in the past and some of this past still lingers, even more after Selune's cold soothing light has left.

And, ridiculously, it's the choice what saves everyone; gondians, Ravengard, Karlach, Gortash himself.

Dick Grayson's unmatched success as a child vigilante makes a lot more sense when you remember the Court of Owls was a thing and that Dick was meant to be the next Grey Son.

There is no way that someone at Haly's Circus wasn't there keeping an eye on him while he grew up. A future weapon needs to be trained and monitored after all, and a circus, a place where weird skills are completely normal, is actually a great place to secretly train a child.

You know, just some knife tricks that translated really well into actual fighting. How to get out of restraints and pick locks while under a time limit. Death defying acrobatic stunts that coincidentally do wonders for parkouring. That sort of thing. Nothing that seems out of place for a boy growing up around circus performers to learn, but would literally any where else.

I mean, while I fully believe that most kids would want to kill the man responsible for their parents deaths, Dick was weirdly prepared to go through it. He tracked down Zucco with way more ease than any normal child should have too. He became the first child vigilante, for goodness sake. The first Robin! He only started getting formal training after he basically forced Bruce into it!

Bruce himself has no idea that this kind of competency in a child is unusual, considering he was much too blinded by the similarities between his and Dick's tragic orphanhoods.

Alfred is in a similar boat because he’s desensitized to weird children after he somehow managed to successfully raise Bruce 'The Batman' Wayne, so he doesn't clock the hyper-competency as abnormal either.

By the time the other batkids start popping up (Jason 'The Audacity' Todd, borderline-street rat with no fear) (Tim 'the greatest stalker in Gotham history' Drake, child genius, also bullied his way into becoming Robin) (Barbara 'raised by the only uncorrupt cop in gotham' Gordon) (Stephanie 'daddy issues and spite' Brown) (Duke 'Pretends he's the normal one and people believe him' Thomas) it's too late.

It would also explain how Dick got along so well with Damian out of all of them. Similar childhood with different approaches and all that. On some subconscious level, Dick recognises and resonates with the murderous ten year old assassin with strong familial ties to a secret elite assassin organization.

It isn't until after the whole Court of Owls and Grey Son reveal that suddenly Dick realises a whole lot of things about his childhood that suddenly make a lot more sense.

Are you still working on Onaplus? We need leonard visual novel

//Funny you should ask this anon, I AM still working on Onaplus, so don't you worry!! us leonard fans will feast soon....... It's part of the reason i haven't been back to give many updates (I do have some news to share here!!! But I want to get everything around before I do), and I actually am just about halfway through the 3rd Chapter right now! :) I do sometimes post out-of-context references on my alt, though it's less to do with progress and more of me just kinda chuckling to myself as I go along... (So if you want to go in completely blind, which I recommend, I don't advise going to check it out!!)

//So far, I have the entire S-Route translated, and am about halfway through the N-Route, with the rest of Chapter 3, all of Chapter 4 (Which now that I think about it, I might be faced with a few challenges getting the proper characterization of Leonard done in that particular chapter.... *cough ;)*) and the endings for that route left to do. There's additionally a question I have about ONE of the endings, so I'll have to see about that before getting anything set in stone!

//Ohhhhh and one ending in particular i am REALLY looking forward to doing (I will say it: IT IS N-ROUTE SPECIFIC, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND SAVING IT FOR LAST BECAUSE OOUUAUAAGAGAGHHHHH i kid you not i was like "Neat! <3 this is so fun and cool for me, a liker of Leonard Drakengard, 10/10 lol hahahah" for 99% of the VN UNTIL THAT ENDING WHICH HAD ME SPRAWLED OUT ON THE FLOOR WALKING AIMLESS LITTLE CIRCLES AROUND MY ROOM AND I STILL THINK ABOUT IT ON A DAILY BASIS IM NOT OKAY THAT ENDING REALLY MAKES IT GO FROM A SOLID 10/10 TO A 1000/10 WHICH I THOUGHT I ALREADY GAVE IT BUT I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT TILL IT HIT OUGHHHHH ITS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!)

//That said, it's really up to the author whether or not this gets a patch at all, so even if I finish, I don't wanna set your expectations too high for nothing 😭 It will still be available, just a bit blockier to read (You'll have to read the document to the side of the window, which isn't BAD but definitely a bit clunky lol)

//And additionally (perhaps most importantly), as per request of the author the release will unfortunately be extremely limited to a few people I know so as not to cause any issues with copyright. :( As much as I'd like to make it public, it's for the best, though assuming you're not someone I have on my list anon, I bet you could probably buy a copy off Booth and see about getting the (*Theoretical, TBD) English patch through there!!! ;0 Shipping costs and everything will make it a bit expensive (iirc the whole thing ended up being about $20 USD for me? Which isn't AWFUL by itself but insane given the game itself is like $3 USD), and shipping is a LONG wait (For me it was about a month through Buyee), but looking at it one way, it is considerably cheaper than some of the other imported DOD content that exists...

//Anyways, thanks so much for the ask!!! I always leap at the opportunity to yap about this game so I was thrilled to have received this QwQ♥️ I'll keep working hard!!! I've gotten a huge motivation boost thanks to this aaaa <3
