Writing and fangirling away

My name is Isis. Atheist, feminist, fangirl and above all writer of characters that lean towards pragmatic than honourable. Also British, though not too fond of the place. Mostly focused on Dragon Age Inquisition lately, and am totally open for any prompts regarding characters from the series or my own OCs.

like the betrayal’s always going to be worse if they cared about you and it didn’t matter. someone discards you because they didn’t give a shit, then you can be angry about that, you can feel vindicated in that, you can get over it. but if they can look you in the eyes and say “I love you. I would make the same choice again.” You will never sleep peacefully again, is all.

“I thought they cared about me, but they were lying this whole time.” <- tired. boring. removes all the nuance of this relationship to make it easier to move on from.

“I thought they cared about me, and I was right, and every minute they were there for me, every time they said they were proud, every laugh we shared leaning against each other bruised and breathless, all of it was real. and they still left me behind. They could put their love aside. I couldn’t.” <- insane. will never leave you alone. reminds you that even the worst people are still people and can still care about even the ones they hurt the most and that undoes neither the harm nor the love.

okay. something about the way i worded this is making people think this is a vent thing about real relationships. and it’s fine if that’s where it took you. but i feel like i need to be transparent here: this be blorboposting. karlach cliffgate and her terrible awful no good very bad betrayal.

Happy Death Anniversary to Jason Peter Todd!

[feluka]

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

Black mask isn't jasons nemesis, no matter what he may think. That is jasons personal stress ball. He puts him in a saw trap at any minor inconvenience. Bruce looks at him the wrong way and its throw roman in the pit time. Dogwalking black mask is jasons enrichment time

"Jason's death is a tragedy because it couldn't have been prevented it was always going to end this way he was always going to die" top 3 statements that tell me you never actually read Jason's Robin run. What if Sheila checked Jason's pulse before declaring him dead. What if she'd never lied to him. What if Bruce never left Jason alone with her. What if Bruce went after Jason immediately and begged him to come home. What if Bruce hadn't accused Jason of killing Garzonas. What if Bruce found Gloria's body instead of Jason. What if Bruce hung out with Jason outside of cases. What if Bruce encouraged Jason to do clubs and extracurriculars and make friends. What if Jason was closer with the Titans. What if Bruce didn't give Jason Robin until after Jason was already settled in the manor, or gave him the chance to pick his own identity or costume. And on and on. If one or two little things had changed, Jason could have been saved. The tragedy of Jason Todd is that his death was so god damned preventable if even one person had actually cared about Jason and his mental state BEFORE it became too much for him. And it's even more tragic that the grief-stricken lie Bruce constructed about a boy who couldn't have been saved has replaced the truth so completely that even those outside the text have begun to believe it.

he wants you dead so that he can love you / he wants you dead so you're easier to love / he only loves when you're dead / when you're quiet / when you're dead / when you're good / when you're dead / when you're dead / when you're loved / when you're dead

[lazaruspiss]

to be clear yes this applies to jason and bruce but i also wrote this like right after reading Nightwing (2011) #30 so dick was very much on my mind. it's also about bruce and his parents. it's also about bruce showing more care about damian when he was trying to revive him than he ever did when damian was alive. its about how he's made of fear. fear of loving when the other person can act as an unpredictable factor. it's about an emotional necrophile, really.

no one is safe from bruce being. [gestures vaguely] like that

Edward Nygma gets pulled into a visitors room at Arkham and pauses when he sees Batman, looking wearier and more exhausted than ever. Jim Gordon sits beside the big bad Bat, baffled and amused.

Riddler: ...what's this?

Batman: *heavy sigh* I'm hiring you for a job

Riddler: I beg your finest pardon?

Batman: *even heavier sigh* Red Robin wants to do an escape room for his birthday

Broke: Jason wouldn’t feel any better with the Joker dead because he just wants revenge, and revenge is never worth it

Woke: Jason would feel way better with the Joker dead because the Joker is a ptsd trigger for him, and that would remove the trigger.

Bespoke: Jason would feel a little bit better with the Joker dead, but at this point, it wouldn’t help as much because he’s no longer the person who’s hurt Jason the most — Bruce is.
