Olá, adoro suas postagens sobre Bruhal....

An intrusive thought came to me after reading a 2022 fic on Ao3...

most (not all) that i've read, smeore is the batboys/Batgirl being protective of Bruce.... But what if it was the troops who were protective and jealous of Hal? Kyle wanting to keep Batman away from his mentor (mommy).

John wanting to keep my friend (sister) away from the grumpy family man... and his honda of children.

Guy who had almost had a heart attack when he saw Batman flirting with Hal (Jordan didn't notice)... How did Batman do that? He was just mumbling about Hal's ideas, but not letting anyone interrupt (his wife).

Now... the Bataclan... looking at their leader/father circling the pilot like a panther looking to eat the proud and brave bambi...

Sorry if this doesn't reflect their true personality, just my head thinking about a (not) married couple.

Pookie you got me at "Mommy" like half of my BruHal reputation is built on mommy Hal

Logically I think the Corps would not (dare to) have any problems with Hal dating whom, they are all adults, and they all have difficult relationships, partners, and traumas before.

BUT-

It's just funny to think that they would be fine with anyone

ANYONE BUT BATMAN

Keep in mind that during Hal's evil mother era, Bruce was the harshest person in the League, he was straight up a mean girl bullying Hal (rightfully but still) John even had to punch him for chewing out Hal after he was proven to be not as guilty as before (like, only 80% guilty, not 100% guilty yk)

Bruce (and many more, but not as much as Bruce) openly hated Kyle (the baby) for trying to replace Hal as the last Green Lantern. He was SO MEAN to Kyle like he just wanted to help.

At some point, hating on Bruce has become the favourite gossip of the Corps. Even Carol joined in at some point because loving Bruce is hard but hating him is easy.

And who always likes to do the hard thing around here? Hal.

I bet they are LIVID, just like us when we hear our friends getting back to her dickhead boyfriend. So they make working with them as hard as possible, also keeping Hal away as far as possible. It's a group effort that at some point, they just call the other evil ex-boyfriend, Sinestro to cause some problems right before a date.

Carol would be passive agressive af to Bruce.

John would always volunteer for the League's work instead of Hal.

Guy would be his normal self.

Kyle would lure Hal away from Batman with his big green eyes and "pwease help me (mommy)" facade. (He's a veteran at this point lol)

Like Bruce would see Hal in the Watchtower, fix himself up, walk over and Kyle would appear out of thin air, hugging Hal and luring him to get lunch instead of standing in the middle of the hallway being a Bat magnet.

Bruce, of course, is mad. He wants to launch some countermeasure plans but even the kids aren't on his side at all. No kids want to involve themselves in their dad's love journey ahaha (also half of them just straight up want to see him suffer in love, a little just because)

(Dick can be convinced, though) (But it's because Hal used to be his idol and he would very much like to have Hal in the family)

I have read many fics that the kids are protective of Bruce but honestly, with his records, I think they'll be glad it's not some super evil person that belongs to the Arkham Asylum. A little simplified but you get the idea. Also, they're very AWARE that their dad is, in fact, a very, very flawed, very mentally ill person, and if someone who's normal in the head wants him at all, it's a miracle.

(It's not like Hal's not a flawed, mentally-ill person; it's just that he looks like he keeps it together well enough on a daily basis)

(Good enough)

(also do you even know how many people want that cookie?)

(it's a competition over there)

I'm not saying this in a gatekeep-y way but its kinda nuts as someone who has been around since 2016 how little i see the og rtf acknoweledged. forget about that guy? cah mann? fur-metally? were gonna kill him ??

these went triple platinum on my iphone 4

I'm gonna drop the no-context act for a bit and go on a bit of a rant. I apologize for going long on this one, but I've had 10 years to think about this and I have nothing else to do with this information.

The reasons why the original, "can-an-ant-do-this-ford", Real-Time Fandub went relatively under the radar compared to its more famous sibling could fill a whole documentary (please someone make a documentary on RTF).

video games have wide appeal on the internet.

cutscenes come with virtually no copyright problems.

Sonic is really fuckin' popular. (it was even popular when we covered it on our show before our dub of Sonic X got taken down)

Penny as a creator has been doing things like this for over a decade, but she got insanely prolific at like 6 disciplines early on.

the rest of her cast are also all prolific streamers who are used to saying absolutely insane shit off the cuff. they are Brennan Lee Mulligan-ing it all the time.

there are more Canadians now.

our show is (relatively) less polished by virtue of being mostly livestreamed on an obscure German streaming platform as opposed to... you know. YouTube.

the channel where the show has been hosted for nearly 10 years has been getting negative subscribers with every new video.

some of our dubs are just not accessible in general (still working on that).

the list goes on.

Charlotte Driftwood (aka Charley, the creator of the show) has gone on record to say that while the show wasn't "popular" popular, the fans that it did have were incredibly active and made a ton of hype which helped the rest of the viewers. We had proper live blogging during every stream. We'd get up to like 150 viewers in the chat, with 200 something in the first dub. That really isn't the case anymore, for many reasons. Newer dubs get okay-ish views on YouTube, although it accumulates them over a longer amount of time.

Getting people to check out the original series as opposed to ONLY the SnapCube one has been the entire challenge of this gimmick account in the first place. It's why I did that one infographic and stuff. (more on that here)

SnapCube's Real-Time Fandub is motivated by the juxtaposition of absurdly high production value against absolute batshit banter. We've tried to do the idea early on (and I might have ended up inspiring that thought by editing dubs with on-screen gags and actual music early on, idk jury is still out on that one), but SRTF is the most distilled form of that idea and the foundations of that concept were solid on DAY ONE. Almost every single game idea for a dub has been pitched in 2018 by one of RTF's original cast members. Multiple running gags were teased or ended up paralleled into the SnapCube show one way or another. The Real-Time Fandub that made Stan Pines a vore fetishist and Bismuth Ukrainian is the same Real-Time Fandub that eventually led to Sora sounding like Joe Pera. It simply got forked like the Nerodime River.

I don't know why the original show isn't mentioned much anymore in SnapCube's circles. I can only speculate. To be honest, a lot of it might really come down to its accessibility and the fact that plenty of cast members had changed their names year after year even during its early run. Inherently, that might not represent that person anymore, so some association is lost in transition. The same fate happened to a lot of projects tied to the show. That's just life.

Nevertheless, I encourage you to like, actually check out the show that changed my life! The original one! Scroll through the show's clips on this blog! Come to our livestreams! (at the time of writing, we're almost wrapped on our series-long fandub of Dungeon Meshi, which has been going on every Friday since June!) Go watch our compilation of Gravity Falls dubs! We're still planning new stuff :D

If nothing else, go look at the infographic guide that I made: the Real-Time Fandub Roadmap. I update it every once in a while to help guide viewers through projects by the fandub cast they might like. You will definitely find something you'll like in there.

Or if you're interested, look around/contribute to the Real-Time Fandub Wiki! There's plenty of interesting stuff, but also it feels weird to write all that material by myself so I could use the help. I'm tired lol

On a really important side note, I just wanna say that i'm insanely proud of my former improv mates Penny, Jenny and Alfred and what they've accomplished, along with the friends they've made over time. I see their humor and it lights up people's lives. It fills the boredom and mundanity of my routine. Real-Time Fandub changed my life, and it's turned theirs upside down as well. As someone who's been watching their stuff long enough to remember fuckin' Spagoots, it's wild to me how far they've come.

I was present briefly during the early discussions of the show back when it was pitched and Real-Time Fandub Games and the Growth of an Industry (aka Sonic 06) was still in production, and you could tell that there were really fun times going on and that everyone was exhilarated to improv and goof off. This is a party game first and foremost, and a game that's usually pretty fun. I highly recommend it for any Discord group chat.

Penny, Jenny and Alfred left the RTF cast by 2019 when the dub of Sonic 06 was being made, with Jenny being the last holdover. I miss 'em on the show, but I hope they're doing great. They probably are.

I hope my flatterers know that when I read your little love notes I’m giggling and kicking my feet

I want to thank all of the authors who write for Henry Winter because they all lift my spirits everyday and improve my mental health somehow.
