I haven’t started reading Batman & Robin Year One yet but I came across this page from the first issue:
Sir that’s literally child abuse, I’m fucking crying rn 😭😭😭
And maybe reading the comic further will subvert my expectations but this line from Bruce is literally giving pro-war and pro-child soldiers like what is happening rn
Maybe I’ll come back later and rescind my post lol but for now Bruce wtf
“It ain’t a pony ride out there, boss,” he says, tone neutral, but Jason can hear the undercurrent of bitterness in it, “Ain’t nobody lookin’ to hire one like me ‘cept crooks. Penguin had decent enough pay and didn’t have us doin’ gutter work, ‘s more than I’d coulda asked.”
Jason hums, coming to a slow stop in front of the man to stare him down through the expressionless lenses of his helmet. Behind him, loading a truck advertising “Daisy’s Floral Florist” full of drugs hidden in boxes packed with plastic bouquets, his goons pretend like they’re not listening with rapt attention to the exchange taking place.
Jason nods, tilts his head, nods again, and then jams the barrel of a gun into the soft underside Dave’s jaw, “I don’t believe you.”
Dave, to his credit, doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t even blink. Just keeps staring straight ahead, stance open, like they hadn’t first met each other when Jason was drenched in blood and chucked his predecessor’s head at him with a dry “Congrats on your promotion.” Like the Red Hood isn’t the definition of violence waiting to happen.
It fucking pisses him off.
Jason snorts and holsters the gun in one smooth motion, stepping back.
“But you’re in luck. I need a second pair of hands to run things for the next job when I’m-“ picking my kid up from school and make sure he hasn’t burned the whole thing down in the meantime, “…unavailable.”
— The Antithesis of Magic, Chpt 6 sneak peek
Emma wasn’t supposed to overhear it. She’d just stopped by the mayor’s office to pick up Henry when she heard muffled voices through the door—Regina’s voice, tight with restrained pain, and Robin’s, low and frustrated.
"Because of the potion, Robin! I made myself barren. I can’t have more children." Regina’s voice wavered, but she quickly regained control. "I told you this before we—before anything started."
Emma’s heart clenched. She’d known Regina had trouble conceiving, but she never knew why. The thought of Regina, young and desperate enough to believe she needed to sacrifice her own future for power, made something deep in her ache.
She should have left. It wasn’t her business. But when she heard Robin’s dismissive scoff, she lingered.
"You’re the most powerful sorceress in town, and you expect me to believe there’s no way to fix this?" Robin snapped.
"There isn’t. I’ve tried."
Silence followed, thick and heavy. Then Robin’s voice, quieter but no less sharp. "Then I suppose Henry will have to be enough."
Emma didn’t know what possessed her to step inside, but suddenly, she was there, and both Regina and Robin were staring at her in shock.
"Emma," Regina said, blinking rapidly. "What—"
"You could have another kid," Emma blurted. "I mean, with some help."
Regina’s brow furrowed, but Robin's glare darkened. "This isn’t your concern," he said coldly.
Emma ignored him. She looked at Regina, her heart pounding. "I could be your surrogate."
Silence. A long, stunned moment where Regina simply stared at her, lips parted, eyes wide.
Robin broke it. "Absolutely not!"
Emma barely heard him. She was too focused on the way Regina’s expression was changing—shock melting into something like awe, like she couldn’t believe Emma would offer something so selfless.
"You would—" Regina’s voice faltered. "You would do that?"
"In a heartbeat," Emma admitted, and damn it, there was a lump in her throat now. "You’re an amazing mom. And Henry would love a sibling." She swallowed. "I just—I want you to have that chance if you still want it."
Regina’s eyes shone suspiciously bright, and for a second, Emma thought she might cry. But before she could say anything, Robin stepped between them.
"This is ridiculous," he snapped. "Emma, I don’t know what game you’re playing, but you are not carrying my child."
Emma squared her shoulders. "It wouldn’t be your child, Robin. It’d be Regina’s."
His expression twisted with anger. "Of course you’d say that. You’d love to tie yourself to her forever, wouldn’t you? Maybe even play house? You’re in love with her."
Emma’s breath hitched.
Regina inhaled sharply. "Robin—"
"Oh, come on, Regina," Robin scoffed. "You don’t see it? Or do you just pretend not to?"
Emma braced herself for Regina’s rejection, the inevitable of course she’s not in love with me, don’t be absurd.
But it never came.
Instead, Regina’s gaze flickered between Emma and Robin, something shifting behind her eyes. She took a slow step closer to Emma, searching her face.
"Emma," she said carefully. "Is that true?"
Emma's throat tightened. She could lie. She could walk away. But she’d already put her heart on the line in ways she hadn’t meant to today.
So she nodded. "Yeah. It is."
Regina inhaled sharply. Robin let out an incredulous laugh. "Well, then I suppose—"
"Leave," Regina said, her voice cool and commanding.
Robin froze. "What?"
"Leave." Regina’s eyes didn’t leave Emma’s. "I think we’re done here."
Emma’s heart pounded as Robin huffed, muttered something under his breath, and stormed out. But she barely noticed, because Regina was stepping even closer now, looking at her like she was something precious.
"You offered me a gift I never thought I could have," Regina murmured. "And now, you’ve given me another."
Emma swallowed. "What’s that?"
Regina smiled, warm and soft. "You."
And then, to Emma’s shock and sheer delight, Regina kissed her.
Henry got his sibling the following year....

POST/CONFESSIONS DO NOT REFLECT THE MOD’S PERSONAL OPINIONS!
I don’t understand why some people act like you have to ship Robstar if you like Starfire. She’s a character, not a pairing. And all things considered Robin didn’t exactly treat her very well, did he?
"Don't worry, Regina. We'll find a way to revert this. I can face anything as long as you are with me, my Queen." "Emma-" "Everything I did, I did for love. My love for you. The time I've been in the past I've just fallen in love with you even more. I was able to meet a part of you that I never thought I had the chance. I do not love just the woman you became because of our son. I love you completely. The young girl who wanted to run away with the man she loved, the Evil Queen, the mayor, but above all, Regina. Just Regina. The other mother of my son." "I don't know how you can say all these things, Emma." "It's just truths. I did it because I couldn't bear the thought of seeing you lose the happiness that you had struggled so hard to achieve..."
It’s so sad when I see what seems to be a very good Regina post that eventually mentions/shows Robin/OQ. Because what I thought was a great post to reblog suddenly can’t be reblogged anymore and what’s worse, I suddenly remember this character/ship exists.
