MY BAT CAVE

A place for me to brood and hide/ Personal rambles and Ghostmaker stuff/ English is not my first language so bear with me/ Any pronoun u like

[elsoplao]

What I have lived for?

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

—Bertrand Russell

Sketch. I'll finish it when I can find time.

Khoa is always the dominant partner in relationships, but he's willing to be the submissive one if the other person is Bruce.

[elsoplao]

Actually I have a thriller headcanon:

Khoa was never a real person. He’s either someone Bruce imagined or a personality Bruce split off during his years of traveling alone, when the loneliness and brutal training became too much to bear.

So whenever Bruce reaches absolute rock bottom, to the point where his life is in danger, Khoa appears and helps him survive it.

And the reason Khoa disappears for so long is that Bruce’s life becomes relatively stable and not that lonely after he finishes his journey. Which is why Khoa comes back after Alfred dies.

If Bruce can split off a Zur-En-Arrh, splitting off a Minhkhoa Khan isn’t that strange .

What if Ghostbat each got turned into a cat:

Bruce: He’d be a large black cat. Khoa would laugh his ass off and try to put pink bows, little bells, and ridiculous tiny outfits on him. Of course Bruce would refuse to cooperate. He’d jump to the top of the tallest cabinet and sit there with his back turned to Khoa, tail flicking in irritation.

He’d still try to work, awkwardly smacking at the keyboard with his paws while Khoa laughs at him from the side. He’d continue his nightly patrols, refuse to sleep in bed, and insist on crouching on the windowsill like a gargoyle, silently watching every shadow outside.

Only after Khoa falls asleep would Bruce quietly jump onto the bed. And even then, he’d choose a spot at the foot of the bed, facing the door.

But the second Khoa feels a warm black furry thing by his feet, he’d immediately scoop Bruce into his arms.

“Bruce, quiet. Your purring is too loud.”

Bruce would look deeply offended, but once he hears Khoa’s steady breathing, he’d let himself stay there in his arms.

Khoa: He’d be a willful white cat doing whatever the fuck he wants. Bruce would try to train him the same way he trained Ace. Like, “Sit. Don’t scratch the couch.” Of course none of it works. Khoa would slowly extend one paw right in front of Bruce, knock over an antique vase, and then stare at him provocatively.

Eventually Bruce just gives up and lets Khoa walk all over his keyboard or sleep on top of his cape, leaving white fur all over it. And Khoa absolutely would not eat cat food. He demands bluefin tuna and A5 wagyu. He’d also ambush the Robins in the hallway just for fun.

Even though he acts completely unimpressed with anyone, whenever Bruce works late into the night, Khoa would quietly jump into his lap and curl up in the most comfortable position he can find. And if Bruce dares to stop petting him, Khoa bites his hand.

And his sleeping posture would be absolutely terrible. He’d sleep sprawled across the bed and shove Bruce all the way to the edge. Sometimes he sleeps on the pillow with one paw directly in Bruce’s face. Other times he just sprawls across Bruce’s chest like a weighted blanket. Poor Bruce probably has nightmares from getting crushed by a 18 pound cat.

But when Bruce wakes up from a nightmare and sees this fluffy white menace, he just sighs, pulls the blanket over him, and kisses one of those soft little ears.

“Goodnight, Khoa. Even as a cat, you’re still an asshole.”

You know what’s the unique experience of being a Ghostmaker fan and Ghostbat shipper? Ghostmaker disappears all the time, both in canon stories and in real-life comic appearances. You never know when he’s gonna show up in your life again, and you know your life will move on and you’ll end up liking others. But there’s always a spot in your heart reserved just for him.

And isn’t this how Bruce would feel in this relationship? Like, we’re getting the full immersive Bruce Wayne experience!!

Seriously, where else can you find a ship that syncs up with reality like this? Absolutely nowhere🤣

Practice

[elsoplao]

My dear followers, every time I come back from a con I get con-hyped and gonna shitpost a lot. The hype usually lasts for like a month or so, so bear with me. I'll return to my usual calm and quiet self until the next con.ᓚᘏᗢ

[elsoplao]

Who gets off work tired as fuck during the day and still has to sit through a four-hour online art class at night?

Ghostmaker you really should pay me some money for this 【。

[elsoplao]

My weird-ass kink:

Me: Ghostmaker’s car is so fucking cool. The whole thing is sleek and streamlined, while the Batmobile is just this giant industrial monster. Compared to that thing, the Ghostmobile looks downright slim. I guess like car, like owner.

Friend: Like car, like owner.

Me: So who wants to see the Ghostmobile fuck the Batmobile?

bruce wakes up from his black mercy dreamworld the moment he sees khoa interacting with his parents because any world where he has one, he inherently has to forfeit the other. if he has his parents, he does not meet khoa; if he falls in love with khoa, his parents are dead. even in the wildest fantasies of a black mercy dream, he knows these two lives cannot intersect.

he is a man made up of loss; there is no multiverse in which he is wholly content

[elsoplao]

I bet Bruce, as a talented artist, has drawn Khoa countless times. And after they reconcile, he always starts with a very serious purpose—like sketching Ghostmaker’s armor and gear for “research purposes.”

Then halfway through he starts thinking, hmm, I could probably improve this design a little.

And then it turns into, well, maybe I should draw him wearing it to see how this version looks on him.

And somehow, as he keeps drawing, all the armor disappears. He just ends up drawing his naked bf.

Then Bruce saves all those sketches in some top-secret folder on his computer, only to pull them up late at night when he’s all by himself.

To relieve my ghosty depression(¬‿¬)

[elsoplao]

I miss Ghostmaker so much I'm ghostly depressed

[pufferfishzero]

im still here

the way khoa looks at bruce because, in this FIRST meeting, he already knows they are the same. the way the sun shines down on them both, even as their shadows drift apart

bruce can you not mention your boyfriend for like five minutes

omg khoa get yourself together

[elsoplao]

I recently read something and instantly thought of Ghostbat:

Someone said love at first sight is just an impulse driven by sexual desire—but it’s actually more like a moment of sudden realization, a culmination of everything you’ve ever found beautiful.

Like—I’ve seen so many beautiful things, and somewhere along the way, I formed a vague, imaginary silhouette in my mind. And the moment I saw you, that silhouette took shape.

That’s when my heart skipped.

It’s amazing how a complete stranger can take over your entire heart in a single glance—sometimes even more deeply than feelings that grow over time. And from that very moment, all you can think of is that you want this person to belong to you forever.

sorry i'm still losing my mind over this panel. bruce wayne, bruce "hrn" wayne, wanted to prolong his training just so he and khoa could talk. i feel like im going insane are you listening he JUST WANTED TO TALK TO KHOA

and it wouldn't be anything related to the mission because that was a sore topic at this point. and it wouldn't be about the time they spent apart because khoa had been actively sabotaging bruce. like guys he just wanted to talk he wanted the illusion of mundanity he wanted that peace with khoa he just wanted to know khoa's mind and thinking better like are you hearing me im
