ExGoonExHusband reader is definitely of beekeeping age And for some reason, I have the feeble feeling that he doesn't kill, not because of Bryce's rule, he just finds it too....easy of a way out, for an example, he wants Thali to die the most gruesome way possible, but he also wants it to be as slow as possible I honestly don't know if this sounds creepy or not, just my thoughts tbh

I'm curious now, how do y'all visualize Ex Goon Ex Husband? I like to think that he is built like a rudby player that's a lil hairy (he trims now bc Damia would pull his hair - arm, head, chest, whatever she could get her hands on - when she was mad at him and it left him flinching and traumatized). I imagine him as bee keeping age as well!! And if he does keep bees, he would so gossip with them.

I like to imagine Ex Goon Ex Husband loves kids, with a especially soft spot in his heart for girls (he cried when Howard showed him the triplet's baby booties because "they are Soo cute!"). I also love imagining Ex Goon Ex Husband who has always wanted to be a husband and a father. Someone who could have a family to love, protect and provide for, so he kinda enables Bryce when she adopts kids.

As for his bloodlust, yes, he wants Thali to suffer. He thinks killing Thali is too easy. Too merciful, too kind.

He doesn't want to be kind.

He wants Thali to suffer like he made Bryce, Jasmine and Damia suffer, a man like that does not deserve peace, let alone respect or even indifference.

However, he had to stop his cruicade, not because he felt guilty or because Bryce found out (he would have continued even if she did, just being more secretive) but because of Damia.

It makes him feel sick seeing how much she respects and admires her father, how she would defend him no matter what (at first). He stopped because he didn't want to hurt her, the little princess that he was so excited to meet when Bryce became pregnant and chose to have her. He hates knowing how awful a person her father is and how he and his mother warped her view on so many things. He hates keeping Thali's secrets because to Ex Goon, it feels like he's protecting Thali.

He wants to be honest with Damia, but he's worried it will drive her away. He wants to protect his stolen princess, but how can he when the dragon that stole her away has convinced her that he's the good guy?

With Damia around, he's begrudgenly polite, but each time Thali steps out of line, Ex Goon Ex Husband is always the one to grab a club and beat him back.

If its anyone else that isn't on his shit list? he has a lot of compassion for them. Since he was a goon, and still apart of the Goonion, he understands that for most of them, its just a job. A bizzar job, sure, but a job that pays the bills and puts food on the table. Hell, he remembers being a goon and how one of his bosses offered housing while Ex Goon was homeless.

He knows that some of the goons in the Goonion do this for the love of it (they had to ban many goons who wanted or have worked for Joker due to their "philosophy" about the world). He usually deals with them when he's being the Hound, you cant do harm if your body is healing, y'know?

Ganderbend Bruce Wayne (Bryce Wayne) lets say reader wants Bryce to relax for one day

Bryce: but Gotham needs me

Y/N: you need to rest

Y/N massages her muscles…

Y/N: love, I’m sure Babs and Dick can handle the load for one night.

Bryce: oh alright. You broke the bat

Bryce giggles as she jumps into Y/N’s arms…

[youvebeenlivingfictional]

Putting one of their favourite snacks in their jacket pocket for them to find later …. Except it’s Batman’s costume

Send me a comfort prompt!

PFFFT Oh my god. Cackling.

In the moment, it causes him panic. His fingers slip into the pouch of his belt, expecting a taser.

Instead, he feels something crinkling beneath his fingers.

He springs back as his assailants dart toward at him. He reaches into the next pouch over, grasping an explosive batarang and flinging it before ducking out of the way of the subsequent blast.

He doesn't have the chance to take it in until some time later. On an empty, dark rooftop, in a quiet moment, Bruce lets his fingers drift into the pouch again, hearing the wrapper beneath his gloved fingers. He draws it out curiously, face splitting into a smile at the sight of a mini Three Musketeers.

He glances around before he lets himself sit, unwrapping the treat and popping it into his mouth. He can't help the soft groan that he looses as the taste. He sighs, closing his eyes for a moment and tipping his head back to savor the morsel. Once he's swallowed, and once it's gone, Bruce forces his eyes open again, eyeing the dark sky. It's just a moment before the signal shines in the sky. He pushes himself up, dusting his hands off and tucking the empty wrapper away.

He wouldn't mind finding another—though perhaps not in the space of his batarangs.

Ex Goon Ex Husband Reader is a vigilante and the co creator of the Goonion. Here are my thoughts and a bit of rambling and its all disjointed, sorry in advance

He became a vigilante a year after Dick became robin

At first he didn't want to get involved. It was Bryce's thing, it was what she was passionate about, saving people and solving mysteries

However, after a case where Bryce needed ex goon, he realized that if he became a vigilante he could spend more time with her and Dick. He could get to know them and bond better, so he decided to become the vigilante known as "The Hound".

He got coined the Hound because he is able to track down anyone like a blood hound, he follows Batwoman around like a lost puppy and -- for the most part -- isn't as violent as Batwoman, even being known to make jokes and talk to the goons of Gotham

Due to ex goon being, well, an ex goon, he knows the best hiding spots for the gangs and mafias of Gotham, he knows how they communicate with each other as well as which cop is being paid and which one isn't

While he is head over heels for Bryce, the man has his loyalties, especially to his old gooning buddies who are still in the trade

He will not let Bryce know his connections due to still being friends with them, but he never gives her a bad tip which is appreciated at least

During his early years as a goon, he got first hand expierence at how strong and rough Bryce is with criminals, so when he became a vigilante he silently syphoned money away and with his goon buddies, created the first goon union ever, with it being called the Goonion of Gotham (Bryce chewed him out for that)

Due to making the Goonion, gooning becomes a legit job. Like, goons in the industry of villainy have benefits like medical and dental, hell they even get childcare!!(Ex Goon became a godfather and was worried about who was watching his goddaughter)

Ex goon is very friendly with the JL. He really enjoys being around them, finding comfort in thier antics

Since he is a vigilante, he oftentimes works with them, developing a good relationship with them in and out of his suit

I think ex goon would enjoy spending time with the more touchy JL members. Man is touch starved and being able to hug people he actually cares about relaxes him.

Ex goon loves it when his kids are being silly around him or try to make him cringe, because he matches their energy

For example, he calls Stephen (male Stephanie) Mr. Son because for some reason Stephen started calling ex goond Mr. Daddy (Stephen def would watch amazing world of gumball (thank my mutual for pointing that out to me) and thought it would be funny to mess with Ex goon and make him cringe)

it backfired though, with ex goon out cringing his son "Come here my sweet, little, angel, baby boy and give your old man a big ol' hug and a kiss!!" ex goon would say dramatically while opening his arms and making dramatic kissy faces to Stephan, causing the blonde boy to run. Ex Goon always gives chase when Stephen runs, usually catching him and giving him a bone crushing hug and kissing Stephen's head, calling Stephen "goldilocks" or "my blond boy" while spinning him around. (Timothea (or Thea for short)(Fem Tim btw, still working on the names though) is in the corner, recording the goofy interaction as possible blackmail, until shes spotted by ex goon and chased herself)

I think Ex goon oftentimes just picks his kids up when he hugs them.

Ex goon learned how to skateboard to hangout with Thea, however the first time he tries to do a trick, he ends up spraining his ankle

He use to be a drummer in a band (dad lore)

He met some of the rogues before they became rogues (dad lore)

Now ex goon may seem like a lenient vigilante and for the most part he is. Due to him being in their same situation not too long ago and can sympathized. However, the gothamite criminals fear him, especially those who dared to dawned the look of a certain clown prince.

While the other exs heard about the loss of their beloved cardinal, ex goon witnessed it and nearly died from it. He made it to the warehouse in time, but due to it being locked, he couldn't get in. He remember slamming his body against the door, trying desperately to save his little duchess. He was about to break a window he found when the warehouse exploded, engulfing his world in ash and flames.

Ex Goon was in a coma for a while after that, with burn scars on his chest and arms as well as injuries from the flying debree. I think he gets his skin graphed and the scars professional "fixed" (he refuses to get rid of one of the scars on his hand, wanting a physical reminder of who he lost)

Thanks to the JL and Bryce's fortune, he was able to heal a lot easier

He had to relearn how to walk after he finally woke up though, the first thing he did when he was able to walk though? He visited Jasmine's grave.

"... I'm sorry for being late..."

is the only thing he says as he stares at the cold stone with his daughter's name engraved on it.

I said this in other posts, but ex goon is the most emotional of all the ex's. During this time he couldn't stop crying, even though he'd try in vain. He might've survived the explosion, but the problems he had afterwords made him wonder if it was worth surviving

Did y'all know there is this condition called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as Broken heart syndrome? It's a heart condition that, temporarily, weakens the heart's pumping function and it is triggered by emotional or physical stress.

I think ex goon developed this condition during this time, during his time healing and being trapped in a bed in the manor, unable to do anything except think about how he failed to save his little duchess. Failed to save his world.

After he gets better though, being able to move and run, he begins to hunt. he wants that green haired bitches head. He wants her head on a pike so that he can parade it through Gotham as a warning to every criminal and rogue to never touch his kids. He wants to rip her tongue out so that he never has to hear her shrill cackle or how Jasmine acted in her final moments. He wants a life for a life.

He gets the help from his old buddies to track down the Joker. He doesn't tell Bryce or anyone what his plans are (except his best friend who bought the plane ticket for him)

I think Ex Goon almost killed the Joker, I genuinely do, however due to the joker having insane plot armour and Bryce's stupid moral code, he couldn't get the final blow in. That was the first ever big fight the two had. The first of 3 major fights that caused the divorce.

"Dont. Don't you dare lecture me on being a hero Bryce, especially when you're no fucking hero!"

Bryce tries to speak, but ex goon just cuts her off

"How many kids do we have to bury before its too far, Bryce?? How many huh?? One isn't enough for you?!? How many parents have lose their children for you to act?? Or do the kids have to lose their parents like yo-!!"

Ex goon couldn't finish his sentence, Bryce made sure of it. As his fingers touched his cheek, feeling the burning skin where she slapped him, all they could hear of the sound of their breathing. They started at each other, one shocked at the other's words and the other shocked by the other's actions.

"... I wish you let me die Bryce."

[cheust]

I've been thinking of the dynamics between Fem! Bruce (Bryce (I'm sorry I am a slave to cannon, I can bend but I cannot break)) and her Ex Husband and what if this ex husband was an ex goon?

I mean its bound to happen, its Gotham after all. You're poor, looking up only to see the rich dine above the rats that scramble to the dumpsters to get their scraps.You're desperate, desperate enough to let the elite take a bite out of you and then leave you cold and alone just so you can pay a bill and eat something warm. And you're angry. So, so angry. Why were you born to suffer? Why do you have to sacrifice to the cruel god called profit? why do you have to watch as that cruel god only rewards those who worships its brother greed.

He hates. he hates so much and he hates it, which only feeds into it. He hates it especially when the words of his mother whispers to him in the back of his mind, trying to remind him that he is better than this. That he is not a rat that's meant for others scraps. He hears how she and his dad would teach him. teach him how to be strong not only for himself but for others as he throws a guy out of a strip club for getting handsy with one of the girls. he'd hear how they taught him how to be compassionate and share when he gives another person who was struggling a portion of scraps he'd find in a dumpster of a restraunt. but its not enough sometimes.

He's a man starved. he's so hungry. He wants to sink his teeth into whatever will fill his stomach and soul.

He's a husk, a large one at that. He has nothing to fulfill him, and no means to do anything to help others. I think this ex husband wants to help people, its hard to not want to help someone who's starving just like you, its hard to see kids in the same situation like him being lead to the gangs of Gotham, not because they want to but because they want to survive.

I know canonically that Bruce returned to Gotham when he was 25, but in the exverse I headcanon they returned when they were around 21/22. Young and dumb enough to get caught in the cowl. So Bryce in this universe returned to Gotham when she was 21, and ex husband blackmailed her when she was 22.

I think a lot of people forget how Gotham was lawless before Batman, well Batwoman in this case. Gotham was more like a normal city full of crime. The Mafia(s) ran the city, people knew to never call the police bc the station was full of informants, even if there was a honest cop in there, they wouldn't last long. They'd either end up dead or transferred outside of Gotham.

The city employed more drug dealers than actual honest jobs back then, but then Bryce Wayne came back to the city and everything changed.

You admire her, you truly do. She took back control over Wayne Enterprise and created all kinds of new jobs for Gotham citizens. Back then, you'd look at the news and just admire her and the passion she had for her city...

You wished you could be like her. you wished you had the ability to do good like she could....

But imagine your surprise when one day, while working for one of the mafias that ran Gotham at the time, a dark shadow game out of no where and beat the shit out of you and the other goons, with you all waking up tied to a pole and the police arresting you all.

Hah, "arresting".

it all happened so fast that you couldn't help but want to investigate, so with the help of one of your friends inside the police station, you got out with a warning. You love Terry and his blue lil outfit and shiny badge.

After the first encounter, you began taking more jobs from the city's gangs and mafias, all in hope to getting a glimpse of this shadow that dislocated your bones.

Imagine your surprise when one day, one of the Mafia bosses set up a trap for the masked vigilante, hoping to kill the so called "batwoman". The boss set up a meeting between him and a rival Mafia, stating that he wanted to talk things out and join their forces to take down the bat that was ruining everything for them. The boss figured he could get rid of two birds with one stone, his rival boss and Batwoman with one explosion.

Yep, he was going to blow up the warehouse the meeting was to take place in. You were there as a lowly grunt, someone the boss didn't mind sacrificing since you weren't apart of the family, and after that night, never will be.

I have this scene in my, right? Where the bomb goes off and instead of you trying to get away or throw Bryce into the flames, you grabbed her and shielded her from the fire while jumping out of a window and landing on a stack of pallets, breaking more of your bones in the process. During the explosion and you shielding her, her mask broke, revieling half of her face, a face that you have seen all over the news. And you know what? you smile. You smile because at least someone among the elite cared about the rats of gotham.

After that though, you know the song and dance, ex husband was able to successfully blackmail Bryce and they ended up becoming quite the cute couple, especially since this ex husband feels so guilty for the blackmail, he's like ex wife with the level of guilt he feels due to how much he respected and admired Bryce, but this ex husband cant stand feeling like a husk anymore, he cant keep sacrificing his body to the rich that want him and his soul to the gangs that use him. He can't and he won't.

In this au I imagine Bryce's persona is kinda like Elle Woods, shes smart, but due to how people perceive her they believe she must be a vapid bimbo, and in this au Ex Husband reader is viewed as the bad boy from the wrong side of Gotham that bettered himself for her. Cliche, but the media eats it up.

However, the elite never let him forget that he is still a street rat, especially the elites that are apart of the Cour of Owls. Owls eat rats after all, so when one is in their nest they tend to sharpen their claws. Ex husband may be a rat, he will never deny where he came from, but it doesn't mean he can't defend himself from them, especially now.

Ex husband reader rarely touches Bryce in this au, and if he does he often wears gloves, mainly due to guilt over taking away her choice and freedom for his own personal gain. He hopes that she can forgive him, if she can't though, he'd understands.

I think in this au Bryce develops a small crush on him during the marriage, but due to the anger she feels about him taking away her freedom to marry someone she wants, even if they get divorced she would be the one ridiculed instead of him. She knows what she has to lose because of him and she can't let that anger go and he wont take it from her.

Ex Goon Ex husband that, before the blackmail thing, was a fan of batwoman. I mean, how could he not be a fan? She was doing the one thing he couldn't, make gotham's criminals have consequences. He admires Batwoman's agility, stealth and - from expirence - how hard she can punch. Do you honestly think Ex Goon Ex Husband took those jobs just for the money? No!! He was doing for the money AND to study Batwoman! I still think even after all the years of them being together that this man admires her, in his mind she is beauty and strength, but due to the years, the admiration isn't as strong as it used to be. He can now see that she isn't a spirit of Gotham's vengeful spirits, a bimbo billionaire heiress stareotype, or even just his wife. He sees her as Bryce Wayne, Gotham's Batwoman.

However, the reason why he leaves is because Batwoman fell in love. Sylvester Kyle, aka Catman, aka Gotham's best thief and the one that Bryce loves. You didn't know, you didn't pick up on the signs of their affair, at least not at first, but then you began noticing little things. Well, not exactly little, the hickeys that adorned her neck like a necklace was anything but sublet, but it delivered the message loud and clear. At first you were in denial, the person you idolized as Gotham's hero was a cheater? It can't be true!.. but then you reminded yourself of who you were in this equation. You, the convicted criminal. You, the stalker that followed her and studied her for almost a year. You, the blackmailer that stole her choice in who she married. You, the empty shell that could never truly be filled. Yeah, that's who you are and you gritted your teeth and swallowed your pride. "The marriage is just on paper, its not real," you'd remind yourself over and over again. But the pain didn't go away, maybe you felt more than admiration for the woman, maybe youre just kidding yourself. Who knows? All you know is that you feel a little sicker now knowing how alone you truly are in this large house.
