Are all sidekicks molested?
I write sometimes! I'm on ao3 as EmbersOfUprising. Most of it is about Dick Grayson and occasionally other DC goobers. Often dark to varying degrees and often nsfw, so read tags/warnings etc.
I try to tag commonly sought content warnings when I'm posting out into main tags, but in general, this blog is an 18+ 'choose not to warn' space.
Ostensibly this is my writing blog but it is actually 90% art reblogs, and I will deep-dive blogs and resurrect posts from over a decade ago. Posts that are actually about my writing are tagged as #embers writes. Completed fics (mine or fic recs) are tagged #fanfic and snips are tagged #fic snippet.
I tag asks as #embers answers, and also #ask game specifically for ask games. Comic reading posts are #embers reads, and posts with comic panels are #comic panels.
Clarkdick is my favourite ship, but I'm a huge multishipper and will ship basically anything that compels me in some way or just is nice to look at. Below the cut are the ship tags I use, if you want to peruse or block anything.
---
I always tag characters in posts, including ship posts. I'm not going to list out all the character tags I use because that sounds painful but let me know if you want to know what I use for a specifc character.
If any of the ship tags below are empty, the post is buried somewhere in my extensive queue and will emerge in 3-5 business months in all likelihood.
"oh, batman, you are my finest creation, my favorite child..." & "oh, batman! my favorite son!" // "and while i know this may sound perverse, gotham is like my wife. and i would do whatever it takes--have done--to protect the woman i love."

vic stone molested vibes REAL REAL REAL REAL his total horror at his father violating his bodily autonomy reads as SO "i already have issues with my body being violated" and/or "i already have issues with THIS PERSON violating me"
like I’M SORRY you mean to tell me there’s this guy who got socially isolated and used as a test dummy by his parents for years to the point where he immediately fell into violent environments when given a modicum of freedom, because he didn’t have the experience to know any better but also possibly because he was accustomed to feeling unsafe in his relationships. And then as his father is dying, in a final act of indignity he gets his hands on Victor’s body (again) and turns it into something disgusting and alien to him. You mean to tell me Victor is literally walking around with his father’s handiwork all over, no, embedded into his body, which destroys his romantic relationship, causes him great distress, and ends with him being a ‘freak among freaks’ with possibly the most molested superhero team to date. And we’re meant not to read into this. Okay.
