is the girl in your pfp / the one you also drew recently the same one you posted here ? https://www.tumblr.com/fraternum-momentum/799216924624109568?source=share am i just crazy

[link] yes she is ! please call her yvette ! my character in cot is just a random oc sona design thing i alr had but i just chucked her in cot bc i was too lazy to think of a new design and it kinda fit with the group so

some random info abt yvette under the cut that kinda turned into a some writing thing idk

yvette has like a weird junji ito tomie thing going on. she's basically this vague immortal being (idk if i shld make her a vampire too but i like drawing her with fangs bc heh)

and one of the unfortunate realities with immortality is that it also comes boredom. she wasnt lucky enough to be one of those ultra rich immortals who owns a whole ass castle and more riches than she can imagine, so she can't exactly travel the world and experience it's wonders. so she goes for cheap thrills: partying, drugs, breaking every law that she's aware of– any vice that anything that gets her heart racing and her blood pumping.

she's also an adrenaline junkie. extreme sports were another thing she's tried, but like everything, it's novelty inevitably grew out because she doesn't exactly give a shit about her well-being. there's no permanent consequence to whatever she does anyway.

while she can't permanently die, she's still able to feel pain and is particularly sensitive to it. and in many ways she's thankful for it because eventually she learned that it's one of the ways where she can feel alive against the increasingly numbing boredom.

when she feels like she's in danger, she feels scared, truly scared, even if at the back of her mind she knows that she'll somehow miraculously wake up again tomorrow and the day after and the day after that. but to her it doesn't matter because during the moment she can feel something.

she feels agony, crying from the sting of the knife twisting at her stomach to the point where she feels like throwing up. she feels relief when the blinding pain momentarily stops, desperately inhaling for a gulp of air after screaming for hours now, and she feels her heart dropping when she sees the figure brandishing another weapon. and it quickly dawns on her that it's not over yet. it's not over until she's nothing more but a huskless corpse on the floor, something to be discarded to god knows where.

but that feeling, all those extreme emotions happening all at once, its better than anything she's tried or experienced before, all of it is just a blink of an eye compared to the current anguish that seems to go on forever. and she wishes that it would just end. because it's too much! she can't take any more of it! a blood-curdling scream rips through her, yelling at them to– "Stop!"

And it does.

When she blinks her eyes open she finds herself washed ashore somewhere. The cold air stinging at her skin, free from the injuries she sustained from yesterday's... events. there's no physical evidence on her body, no broken bones, no cuts, no wounds and yet the memory of what happened lingers.

She replays it over and over in her head, vividly remembering each and every detail in her head. the looming dread, the anticipation, the fear.

A choked sob escapes from her grinning lips. She cant wait to see what's next for her.

Fics I’d give anything to read again for the first time - Batman edition pt. 2 (pt. 1 is here)!

I’ve still sorted these by color - red is harder reads, pink is more lighthearted ones - but heed the tags for all of them, this list is definitely darker than the last.

your continental divides: the aftermath of Blockbuster. Dick’s home has never been Gotham; it’s always been the people. this is one of the most realistic recovery fics I’ve ever read. really concise but hard-hitting prose.

Just Say No: when Tim won’t sleep, his family makes him. it starts with the coffee. a realistic take on how Tim might react to being casually/continuously drugged (as people sometimes write about). twist on a common concept with awesome + crushing execution.

illume: Dick hits Bruce by accident during training. Credit to @galaxymagitech, found it through their rec list!

Panic Room: Damian locks Tim and Jason in the safe rooms. If you don’t know by now, envysparkler is the queen of Batman whump. An essential read.

The Ghosts of Wounds Past: Jason’s younger ghost comes back with him. When it gets a physical form, the Batfamily is forced to choose. Cannot stress enough that this is hurt no comfort, but amazing if you’re up for it.

World’s Saddest Breakfast Club: after getting home from a mission gone wrong, Jason decides to make a midnight snack and sabotage Bruce’s birthday dinner in one fell swoop. He ends up gathering a crowd. Gotta throw in a heartwarming one somewhere!! This one has moments of sadness but is overall very warm and cozy.

Hat Full of Glass: Dick’s face gets injured on patrol. It brings up some feelings. Another grounded recovery fic with great insight into Dick’s feelings re: his appearance and its role.

ties that bind: an ongoing series of bio kid Tim fics. a million different flavors of impeccably written familial and internal conflict. an excellent character study of Tim that’s both engaging and deeply moving. Red and pink because angst level depends on the fic.

Wally’s Hannibal Arc: Wally has a couple brushes with cannibalism over the years. It's probably fine. Okay this isn’t technically Batman, but trust me. An absolute gem.

touch starved: Dick has a whole family who would rather stab him or themselves before embracing him. sometimes he just wants a hug he doesn’t have to beg for.

When the lights go out: Damian and Jason get stuck under a collapsed building. Wonderful characterization, read this if you liked Panic Room and World’s Saddest Breakfast Club.

5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home: a series of sleepovers before Tim joins the Wayne family. The first Batman fic I read! Could be pink or red - quite devastating but also the comfort COMFORTS.

Happy reading!

I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!

This is Linda, 60

Alexis, 64

Helena, 63

Kendrah, 72 (!!)

Tasha, 65

It was deeply healing to me to discover this project. The site has selected photos and attached interviews and it's definitely worth your time. I didn't include any because the focus of this post imo is transfems but there are a lot of beautiful interviews with transmasc people too if you're interested! But that'll have to be another post 💖

Credits to orangelemonart’s amazing fic, Sanin swap! If ur into Naruto and theories, this will spark ur imagination a lot. And I think that Sasuke and Tsunade’s dynamic is ✨iconic✨ cuz who doesn’t love the Senju-Uchiha alliance! Plus if Sasuke was still there, he’d learn killer medical techniques from Tsunade and probably be able to do greater things with it cuz like we don’t give enough credit to his intelligence and chakra control like if I was stuck with no proper mentor and still being able to become one of the strongest people in the world then I’d be damned to know that people look down at me. And jiraya and sakura, like since she has loving parents and wouldn’t tolerate any of that kind of “research”, he did and would force him to teach her stuff and convert to feminism would be hilarious to me. Plus jiraya would understand Sakura cuz unlike Naruto and Sasuke, she is normal which makes him get it because he too in his childhood had felt the same being with the snake genius and senju princess while not being from any influential clan. And Naruto, I feel sad cuz his character will plunge deeper into darkness with orochimaru but he will meet and form team take sooner in my au, due to his friendly and kind personality. Plus who doesn’t want to see naruto and Karin sibling moments cuz I feel like their dynamic will be like that.

So bye! And I hope u have a great day or any other time it is for u.
