How shit would've gone down if mc was born and raised Filipino
Come on, let's be honest. At this point, at maybe the 11-12 yr old in the usual timeline would find it heaven to be left alone and not acknowledged.
Cuz lets be fr, being acknowledged is NOT fun.
Mc would be closed of, short sentences, and a massive resting bitch face.
Which would turn around the moment they meet people who are NOT the Waynes' come within a 1 mile radius.
Exells at school, participates at sports, is somehow friends with everyone, and has multiple so called "prestigious awards"
(Which aren't very prestigious in the first place?? But are for some reason being treated like they are)
Then Gotham would get a handful of "girl why would i care actually"
Batfam would find them weird, and unintentionally neglect them emotionally because they have a lottt more problems than just mc
but being a Filipino means mc kinda used to it? Like i read and don't judge, but a few neglected reader stories, i found the situation a bit baffling tbh
Like the kind responces that shooed them away are the kindest words i would've gotten only on my deathbed
Everyone would think of mc as nice, sociable and mature.
(Even when in their hometown,they were considered childish)
And i think they would've enjoyed a Gala, because a valid reason to dress fancy, wear makeup, and socialise? A dream come true
But as a final (not really lmao) the reader wouldn't yearn for a better connection, because while i very much DO enjoy a massive dose of angst, a realistic FILIPINO to be specific, mc would not yearn for attention from immediate family, and look for it in strangers. At the usual age of 11-13, being childish was absolutely not accepted at that age.
What would make you think that they embarrass themseves when they were raised Filipino? They know better, afterall...
