i think juliette sees bruce as someone she can turn to. she hates to say it but batman was a big reason she felt comfortable becoming crossfire - like there would be someone in her corner should she need it. i think she also feels pity for him even tho she'll never say it. she's so FOCUSED in her world and the perception of herself and how others see her that seeing his perception of losing bruce as a whole makes her feel sad like part of him is dead. overall tho she really cares about him, she feels like he respects her and doesn't look down on her. and he'd be the first she'd call if she really needed a friend (also cuz she has no friends but IOPASDFPDAF)

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE PERCEIVE MY MUSE?

HMMM IT'S MUTUAL, like . . . they BOTH live in the same world, and YES they are friends, and he's never been WIDELY popular, they've been friends since forever, and he was just ?? THERE. they care about one another it may be MORE than friends BUT ??? THEY i think are SO focused at TIMES on revenge and him also focused on turning her towards the greater good but ( yeah he has a crush )

#selena says . ooc #ARE YOU SURPISED THO #BC IM NOT

the riddler : take a look at my followers the batman : WHAT THE FUCK IS.. the riddler: TAKE A LOOK

#selena says . ooc #ngl bruce isn't on social media #IT MAKES ME LAUGH #last time he was was on THE FACEBOOK #and AIM

Oh boy.

Initial impressions: someone just like Ed, who took a slightly different path because of his privileges and physical strength. But still, Bruce sees Gotham like Ed did: corrupt, in need of cleansing, vengeance. Someone that was smart enough to be his equal, his friend even.

Current impression (by the end of the movie at least): a self-centered hypocritical privileged man who is very willing to judge others and not himself. Certainly not smart enough, most definitely not his equal. Someone that could have helped people in need ever since he turned 18, but instead just like everyone else, he did nothing but condemns murder.

Or as a post says: Babe, you are not really acting like my idealised version of you.

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE PERCEIVE MY MUSE?

AVEEEEE MARIIIIIAAAA , the fact that edward KILLED innocents in his last move ? well now, he's PROUD that he's no longer idealised. THAT was the riddlers BIGGEST failing. he flooded GOTHAM and KILLED people who were MORE like edward , and THAT made batman hope, and turned his arc around.

#selena says . ooc #HI ILYSM #BUT DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THIS #BC I DO DAILY fhdsuifjkdsmfds #EDWARD WAS SO SMART #BUT OMG #that was his biggest failing

i too, like bruce commend him going to mitchell.s funeral BECAUSE he knows the patterns of a SERIAL KILLER

#selena says . ooc #I JUST #fdhsufjnkdsmfds #he literally actually doesn't REALLY care that mitchell is dead #MAYBE he does think mitchell was GOOD at one time but #omg #nah he's just following detective mode

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE PERCEIVE MY MUSE? initially, he is kind, but there a loneliness that lingers in his eyes and she gets the feeling that his edges are fragmented in a similar way to her own. she feels better around melancholia and so there's this feeling of calm in her when she's around him. she loses the anxiety she so often carries. even when she's admitting she has a crush on him, which comes with all the butterflies and the correct amount of nerves, she always feels that same sense of calmness around him. nell often feels like life is happening around her and spiralling out of control, but with him she feels tethered to something, like she can't lose herself because he's holding her steady. and when she falls for him and they start building together, she sees him as the one still point in the world, all the stability that she's been lacking. that loneliness she senses in him peels back and she starts to understand the haunting and knows that his edges were meant to fit with her own, and she sees him as the one place in the world that is best for her to be.

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE PERCEIVE MY MUSE? FIRST OF THIS IS ILLEGAL , and I PERSONALLY WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. but UGH, we've put so much TIME and just ? dedication to this pairing that ? yeah bruce is DIRECTLY influenced by her, she's his heart. they are each other's stability, and FCUK she makes him laugh. they brought that back into one another's life. she's his heart in many ways and he'll never let that go :///

“ㅤnoㅤ—ㅤyou’re nothing like them…ㅤ”ㅤㅤ,ㅤㅤeven if the truth does rise with the company ofㅤbile,ㅤshe finds that this has become a space to tell it. she knows the weight ‘pon his shoulders must be starting to feelㅤheavy:ㅤand can offer at most, a sense of understanding.ㅤ( for she too, knows what it is like toㅤcarry forth a legacy.ㅤto have all eyes honed ‘pon your every move, waiting for the chance to pounce at your failures ).ㅤㅤ“ㅤperhaps, that’s what scares them the most.ㅤ”

‘ nah they’re all CAPTIVATED by their fuckin’ latest fix ’ MOUTH opens and closes as a SMILE is closely FOLLOWED, ‘ they don’t KNOW better ’ THE PLACE is enough to make SKIN CRAWL, and HE HATES THIS CLUB, the music never ending, and it’s NEVER peaceful. CHAOTIC as GOTHAM is as DEATH slowly PERMEATES the air. ‘ dunno . . . i guess i had ENOUGH of this scene when i was YOUNGER ’ SPEAKING out against the COUNTLESS TWISTED middle aged fucks that he sees there. YEAH PENGUINS girls are never in harm's way but, EXPLAIN NOW why a YOUNGER woman takes a seat upon a JUDGES LAP. ‘ you ever think they’re DESPERATE? ’ LEANS in to speak to the other, ‘ THE LAWYERS , THAT’S WHAT I MEAN. ’ TAKES a pause as a DRINK is offered his way, ‘ do you want another one ? ’

The keys make their unceremonious landing alongside her on rucked sheets. Everything in here, when not bathed in red and purple, is doused in old, yellowy light. Looks like the rot that’s made a home up her nostrils. Looks every inch the way she remembers it. She’d sleep with Kindness beneath her pillow, Harmony slotted between the mattress and bed frame — if she slept at all. All manner of things to keep a girl awake in a place like this, the stimulants just being the beginning. How revolted Bruce seems by the whole idea of existing here for just a few moments, shines a mirror before Nix’s eyes. It’s not shame that pricks in her chest, however, nor embarrassment at her supposed comfort amongst the downtrodden knee-deep in the mire. She doesn’t know what it is, but for a brief, fleeting moment she won’t be admitting — to herself or otherwise — it’s the warmest she’s felt in days.

She rescues herself from that particular line of thinking and guides herself back upright. Her legs remain outstretched, flat and lifeless as a dolly’s when her bad hand lays flat over the offering of his keys, and she cocks her head to one side. “ Why? ” The query’s sprouted from a genuine bed of uncertainty in her chest, or perhaps the soil’s rotting in her brain too. That’s not to say she’s quick to deny him. Could all of the fingers on her right hand bend, she’d have furled her fist about the keys. One boot meets threadbare carpet with a thud. Here by the bed its worn away to frayed threads, the rotten floorboard visibly bending with each step taken. The second follows the first. She’s stiff enough to have just been drawn from the freezer of a morgue. Her eyes are just as cold too, no matter how curious she might seem.

“ You can drive and take the make up off. ” Saving herself is trickier than she’d first assumed it would be. She’s suddenly propped up on an island in the middle of the sea. Bruce shouldn’t be here to witness the allegorical bloating of her corpse. She sniffs, makes yet another note of the hollow, cold channel her throat’s become, and knocks her chin in jest. “ Don’t tell me you haven’t, I know you’ve got some Neutrogena in the glovebox. Shit’s stubborn, isn’t it? ” She rubs at her eye for an indication. Despite this presumed act of protest, Nix has already cleared around the bed. A bend at the hips that seems to graceful for her allows her to sweep a USB from the computer. A green alien’s been stuck around the port, like she’s pulling the thing from between its teeth. She flashes it between them like a prize won at a fair. “ Gonna watch whatever freaky shit’s here with a beer later. ” The smile’s not necessarily meant to be of a disconcerting sort, yet it’d disarm some of the most self-assured shit-houses shacked up in this place with ease. She’s making for the door. “ I’m doing a donut and bailing if your strapped in or not, Slenderman. ”

‘ we BOTH know you’d rather drive . . . you’re ITCHING to do just that ’ YES there’s a HUMOROUS tone that’s entered with words, ‘ jesus do you ever stop ? ’ THOUGH words are not BARBAROUS , and he then goes to DEEPLY inhale, ‘ FREAKY shit ? no , what’s on that USB goes beyond that ’ HE KNOWS far too much, ‘ why do you come here? ’ HE’S more curious than JUDGEMENTAL, no he’s LEARNT to not be a JUDGEMENTAL PRICK, it hadn’t served him PARTICULARLARLY well the first time around, and in his way he LIKES nix. doesn’t MIND that she’s his SISTER IN LAW, in another place, another time PERHAPS they’d get along. though for now , all he has are MOMENTS. SHE’S tough as nails, and bruce understands why arthur fell in love with her, NO THIS DOESN’T MEAN HE’S IN LOVE WITH HER TOO but, he GETS IT.

there are EVENTS that happen in life, that perhaps are UNDESIRABLE, DIFFICULT to overcome, yet ? those who rise above, and become more ? well, there is RESPECT in that. they don’t FIGHT for the same side, and the bat doesn’t PRETEND that they do. yet , there is something to be said for how she’s loved his brother, and BRUCE wants nothing but the same UNCONDITIONAL love that they have. SHE’S ALL BRISTLE AT TIMES , and he understands why. ‘ you involved in that REDDIT thread ? . . . ’ THEY take a QUICK turn from room to go down EMERGENCY STAIRS, who the FUCK TAKES THEM THESE DAYS? ‘ as far as makeup goes ? no, i don’t have your HUSBAND'S hand . . . i usually just use soap ’ PAUSE, and their BOOTS are BOTH heavy upon steps, FUCK they could wake a whole floor. ‘ i didn’t ask for a comment ’ HE’S SURE she’ll offer one REGARDLESS.

❛ night terrors . hold my muse after they wake up from a nightmare . ( this from nellie but reversed <3 ) / NIGHTMARES they’re part of the territory, doesn’t make them easier but, at least NOW he knows that they’ll be ONGOING. this is why he has CHOSEN to evade sleep, INSOMNIA it settles in as he AVOIDS the TRAUMA of past. he knows she feels the same , he can see the EXHAUSTION that frames eyes, and the FEAR that comes with napping even for the smallest amount of time. their pain is DEEP, hers HAUNTING as he sees the HOUSES PULL on her, it WANTS her, and bruce can do nothing. on THIS particular night, they have allowed themselves to be LURED to sleep by rain and the COMFORT of one another’s arms. he holds her close, her HEAD resting between chest as he goes in and out of sleep.

he has TRAINED himself to not give into temptation, BODY jerks ever so as he awakes to their bed. his fingers then CURL around her ribs ever so slightly as he FEELS her breath even, and SLOWLY her breathing is HEAVY. she has fallen asleep in HIS arms, and he dares not sleep, WORRIED for what might happen. yet ? he knows that they cannot EVADE what the body NEEDS. perhaps it is a mistake to let her SLEEP, but he loves her, and KNOWS the symptoms of INSOMNIA are UNYIELDING.

HE DOESN’T GET THE CHANCE TO WAKE HER, within THIRTY MINUTES her eyelids twitch, and she starts to speak , a voice that is NOTHING short of petrified. bruce knows this phase, and mouth goes dry. HAIRS ON THE BACK OF NECK STAND as a blood curdling scream comes next, she is FIGHTING against him, and he won’t fight back. ‘ nell , nell . . . come back to me ’ bruce says this mantra like clockwork and all he can do is BE there, his body unmoving as he calmly tries to guide her back to him. he sees the sweat on her brow as SHE hyperventilates, and he BREATHES deeply, ‘ nell . . . it’s okay , i’m HERE ’ WORDS SELFLESS as he knows she would do the same for him. ‘ come back to me ’ HE CAN FEEL HER FIGHTING, WANTING TO COME BACK TO HIM.

HOW EXHAUSTING IT IS, sees it play upon her face as she’s SUDDENLY brought back, and REACHES for him. she’s WEAK, it TOOK everything to fight against nightmare and make her way back. ‘ hey , hh-ey it’s alright . . . i’m not gonna let ANYTHING take you ’ WORDS slow as he allows her some space before then going to reach for water that’s on BEDSIDE table, ‘ @herhaunt you’re back, you’re SAFE ’ then going to offer her water as he looks into her eyes, ‘ tonights a bad night . . . ’ he reaches to wipe away a tear that starts to fall upon her cheek. ‘ we’re gonna have them, . . . i’m NOT going anywhere ’
