You know, I don’t see a lot of discourse about media portrayal of adoption, so I wanted to talk a little about it, Specifically with my own experiences with the choice to adopt. That decision is courtesy of one man alone, and that was Bruce Wayne. Bear in mind, this is strictly through my experiences, I’m not here to speak for everyone, but this is a topic I don’t think we hear enough on, so I wanted to add to it. (This will be a long post so get comfy and read below the cut if you’re interested).

Growing up zillenial, my childhood was defined by Teen Titans and later by The Batman. In particular, the season 4 episode 1 opener of The Batman called “A Matter Of Family” which basically covers Dick Grayson’s transformation into Robin. But in doing so it also covers his adoption by Bruce Wayne after the deaths of his parents. There has never been an episode that made more of an impact on me as a 9, 10, 11 year old child than seeing the portrayal of that adoption. Most adoptions you see in media are the preplanned already looking for a kid kind or the kind that’s already established when you watch the show. This episode was neither. Bruce Wayne didn’t go to the circus planning to adopt a kid. But he saw enough of himself in that kid to recognize that he was capable of meeting the needs of that kid and made that choice right there and then. Bruce paid for the funeral of Dick’s parents. He took him in and gave him a home, knowing exactly what that kind of trauma does to someone, and knowing that he would still have to keep his secret identity a secret. All because of one child that he dared to love immediately.

I cannot overstate what a profound impact this had on me. After Dick leaves his parents’ graves, the following snippet of conversation occurs between Alfred and Bruce:

A: His parents were all the family that boy had.

B: I know. That’s why I’ve decided to take him in as a foster son. If he’ll have me. I was lucky enough to have you to guide me through those dark Days, Alfred. Dick deserves the same.

It’s 4 sentences of dialogue, but it shows so much about Bruce’s intent. He’s not overriding Dick’s free will to take him in where he isn’t wanted. He’s interested in being a guide first because he knows Dick has parents. And he understands the need for Dick to have companionship in his grief, because he knows how isolating it is. He stepped in with that intent and let everything grow from there. He didn’t push it, he didn’t try to buy Dick’s love immediately, and eventually they did form a genuine father-son bond from that foundation.

Was Bruce a perfect parent? Hell no. There’s no such thing. His money could have gotten him a nanny but he didn’t get one. He wanted to raise his children. And he did it without a spouse, though he did have Alfred to help. But when it came to the big issues, those kids went to Bruce. Even in full teen titans slade obsession mode, there was no doubt in my mind that even in the worst of their fighting, Bruce would have been there for Dick regardless of the circumstances. He wasn’t the best at expressing himself but he always showed up for his kids when it came down to it. He put his identity as Batman above that of Bruce Wayne, but he was still a dad first. In a later episode of The Batman (Season 5’s 3rd episode Vertigo) kids start getting Sick, and when Batman confronts the villain with Green Arrow, Dick is affected. The first scene we see of him after getting back to the bat cave is Batman- *Bruce*- Tucking dick under his cape and asking how he’s feeling. He cares about him. And even after Dick is 16 forming the Teen Titans, he still acknowledges Bruce as his father to Slade, even when they fight.

The notion of being able to love someone unconditionally and immediately was a radical idea for 9, 10, 11, and 12 year old me, who grew up in a family before everything kind of family, and ultimately, his story informed me of choices I didn’t know I had. I was raised with the idea of children being a requirement but long believed myself to be incapable of handling pregnancy (Nausea as a sensory issue makes a terrible complication). But Bruce taught me that I did have options, and eventually at around 12 I understood that I wanted to go with Adult adoption (because I definitely wasn’t good with small children but knew I had a lot of love to give someone). Bruce Wayne adopting Dick Grayson paved the way for me to meet my kiddo a decade later, and I’m so grateful that I had that kind of role model to look up to. Because even after Dick’s adoption, things weren’t perfect for Bruce or Dick, but they loved each other anyway, even if they didn’t express it.

I know there are a lot of challenges prospective parents face that Bruce didn’t have to worry about (Finances, home visits, etc.), but the knowledge that you can just immediately connect with someone on that level changed everything for me, and I know there are plenty of others who feel the same. And if I hadn’t had that portrayal of that unconditional love even when a parent isn’t perfect, I might not be who I am today. God bless every single soul who worked on those shows, and gave me something to emulate. I literally wouldn’t be a mother if Bruce hadn’t been a father first, and I wish more people would acknowledge the kind of positive impact like this that fandoms have on us. It really is everything.

EDIT: texted my kiddo I loved them after posting this because making it reminded me of how much I love them, so this is your reminder to say that to your kids today 💖

||Wild danger rescue||

Hi everyone, Peahen mom here with a request drabble for my friend. I Hope you like it but lets see what we got here or for this new adventure.

||Drabble summary||

It seems after a bit, both Atlanta and Theresa finds out that Archie and Jay got kidnapped!! The two were trying to figure out where they were taken to see and find the location. With that being said, the two went to rescue them. How will this go? Read to find out.

||Warning||

~Fighting and I mean a lot

~Knock out but possible blood

||Guests in drabble||

Atlanta and Theresa are guests but they belong to Class of The titans

Archie belongs to me but I rp him as a muse. Jay belongs to @within-the-resort since he's rped by them. Both belong to Class of the titans as well. Everyone is older and in collage so just a heads up.

((Note: This drabble will have heavy grammar mistakes and errors but this was written for fun. I hope you understand but also enjoy please.))

"You won't get away with this!" A angry Jay shouted at his and Archie's kidnapper who was having the two chained up against the wall. Their wrists were red from the chains but it could be due to the fighting. The one that kidnapped them smiled but he didn't seem to care.

"Oh come now, I just wanted to bring you here to test a few things. No worries....if I get bored I'll let you both go....but I don't get bored that easily." He laughed seeing Archie trying to get free but no luck.

"Now, why don't you two just pipe down and relax? I still have so many new ideas to try with you. So give up. No one is going to help you." He smiled to pet the two heads of his prisoners. It did seem like this was going to be the end until....

A explosion was heard in the front of this place making the kidnapper look around feeling the place shake. "What the-what was that!?" he asked looking but checks the cameras. He saw his guards fighting but something being fired at them. Some sort of purple arrows?!

"What is this! Who is-" He then heard something or someone hitting the few guards away as they crash land in a pile. Another was there while hearing the fighting. Archie and Jay blinks to see but knew what it was and who.

"Seems they found us!" Archie smiled but the kidnapper glares.

"Who are these two!? Do you know who they are!?" he asked but Jay looks to him.

"Lets just say you did a dick move...seems our friends didn't like the fact of someone kidnapping us." Jay explains himself but heard another explosion knowing both Atlanta and Theresa was not pleased. He saw some guys get hit by Nunchucks in the face while more arrows from a wrist lazer crossbow. Both the girls looked pissed before running into the guys hideout trying to find them.

~~~~~~~~

"Any luck!?" Atlanta said knocking a guy out with a kick to see Theresa shaking her head, this area was down with no more guards but the two kept running down the hallway in order to try and find the boys. However, they would make sure the other suffers for what they did.

While running down the hallway, a screen turns on showing the kidnapper who was seeing this. "Huh?"

"You have got to be kidding!? Two little girls are destroying my base!? Ha! This is just a joke I hope." he crosses his arms but Atlanta and Theresa was glaring.

"Were you the one that kidnapped our friends!?" she demands seeing the man laugh.

"And what if I was? You'll never find them or me!" He laughed before disappearing that only made the two more angry. Knowing this, they keep running through taking out who was near. Even with that, he still thinking while two guards hurry to get Archie and Jay from the wall to another room.

"Hey, where are you taking us!?" Archie said as the two got taken down from the wall but they were forced against the wall by gun point. They tense but couldn't move due to their wrists being handcuffed.

"If I have to deal with your girlfriends here then I'll just have to get rid of you. I'll just find more to test on later on-" As he was saying this, the wall breaks down showing smoke as he coughs. He looks seeing two people standing there. Jay and Archie sees it was Atlanta and Theresa!

"Guys!" Jay and Archie was happy to see them but the kidnapper got angry turning to face them while seeing more guards showing up.

"Ughhh fucking kill these bitches! I don't have time for this!" he said seeing the guards surrounding the two. Even if they did, both the girls were determined to save the boys. With that command, they tried ambushing them and seeing the two fighting back. The kidnapper sees the guards attacking only to get hit with punches, kicks, and maybe other things.

He saw Theresa kicking and slamming her nunchucks on the other while seeing a few crash in a pile. She did flips over them while deflecting some bullets ready to fight and get them. A few got pushed away by her telekenisis as well that gotten stronger over the years.

Atlanta was zipping through the guards knocking them out and firing lazer arrows as some got hit or was knocked out. She was going faster and faster fighting off the guards too. The kidnapper was shocked seeing two women fighting off his most strongest guards!

"What are you idiots doing!? Stop them!" he orders even if some got hit through the wall with Jay and Archie looking shocked. Yeah, they were angry. In that moment, both of them stops the guards and yet now walking to glare at the kidnapper. He looks at them about to attack but they beat him to it, knocking him down hard to the ground ready to take him out.

"W..wait wait!" he said but Atlanta and Theresa looks with one holding a hand out for a key. "...."

"Key. Hand it over." she orders seeing him reach to give the key that was taken as Atlanta goes to free the boys while they rub their wrists when free. The two hurries along to get over to Theresa who was keeping him down but they quickly leave the now destroyed hideout leaving a speechless kidnapper.

"..What the hell just happened???"

"Thanks Atlanta and Theresa. But how did you-"

"We got some help in looking for you you but we are happy to have found you before it got worse." Theresa smiled to Jay with Atlanta doing the same with Archie.

"Well, we owe you two for helping us..." he said.

"It's fine. As long as you two are safe it's all good. Now lets get out of here."

With a nod, the four leaves the burning tower but they were heading back thanks to a helicopter that was waiting thanks to Odie. Seems a mission was completed with Jay and Archie safe from harm.

16) If you have multiple muses, which one has the most disturbed past?

Dark Munday Questions | Accepting

Hmm to be honest it's a hard call on this one, my cast is full of characters with backstories that are disturbing. It's kind of a toss up between No.t 16, Soma, and Mr. X.

No.t doesn't remember a majority of what they have gone through but it is all still there, the torture and abuse they endured easily bumps them up as a good pick for this.

Soma is in a similar boat as No.t 16 except she is very aware of everything she had been through. That as well as the fact that she had to survive everything in childhood makes me think that she's probably the best option here.

Mr. X is here because it is still living through torture in the name of science, this is all it has ever known and all it probably ever will know. T-00 is treated as a tool and used like one with little to no room for failure or it risks termination.

Honestly just pick your poison with these three

Life is hell rn. But Saint-14 is literally giving me hope.

[viitlumi]

(( I want Vito to make out with someone SO BADLY, he's a raging bisexual man and I need to see him making out with someone he'd be so gentle and teasing I can't 🥹🥲😭 ))

[ivycrowned]

Hearing information about climate change doesn’t even scare me any more because I have no hope left. I’m still going to do everything I can to help on the slim chance it makes the slightest difference but reality is we’re completely fucked. I’m glad I never wanted children.

Having brainrot is an understatement, this man is on my mind 24/7! Now I'm so curious though! What kind of poster do you have??

I don't blame you! Giggling is allowed, even if he's a fictional character. This man can step on me and I wouldn't mind. Levi is just-
