the answer to the first is yes. btas got me hooked on batcat cuz i was but a tyke in the wild. but then my uncle got me into the comics and i will forever be an armada commodore
the problem is i ship weird shit because i find one panel or one moment in the DCAU and i turn into that leonardo dicaprio gif where he's sitting upright, clicking his fingers and pointing. it's easier to say what i don't ship.
.... i don't do bruce and alfred, or bruce and talia i'm not a fan, i know that it's been retconned, and in the arkham games they were trying to sell the "no he does love her!" bruce and babs are also a no go
........ realizing my main ship complaints are bruce x whoever amuses the hell out of me
outside of those i am genuinely struggling to think of a ship i haven't at least read a short fic of out of morbid curiosity and left with a "I can see that.'
tl;dr because women can do horrible things to men too and trying to act like it's some small thing he'd get over is inconceivable to me.
i put the rest under a readmore because i rambled and i try not to edit my rambles because they're honest
idc about her race, as a mixed child i cannot begin to tell you how i do not give a fk about race i've been choking on it one way or another my entire life.
my focus is on the fact she was so obsessed with if not being the heir than creating one she could control with the man her father refused to give up on as the heir. ra's wanted bruce to be his successor so bad it made him look stupid and that was infuriating.
and she wound up doing not one deplorable thing, the drugging, but another when the child she had wasn't exactly what she wanted she dropped that off in Gotham and called it a day. it sucks. i hate it. but i appreciate the fact that the hyper focused vindictive creature stayed that way. not because she's middle eastern, or female, or any other sort of empowerment / slander, but that they didn't try to twist her up into something she isn't just for furthering someone else's development.
now is that through mine own lens? am i missing nuances because my life experiences guide my perception to pick up what it does? absolutely. i'm never going to be like "eugh brotha!! you can NOT ship that." that's not my place, but i don't have to ship it with you.
i have no leg to stand on considering the ships i do add to the tibbay (you get it? like a bay for ships, but also it's mine and my name is tibby ... it was funny in my head) and a lot of them are questionable at best. but that one just rubs me wrong because a villain should be allowed to be a villain, i like them stains and all. her learning from that moment in her life and trying to change later on? great, i might have missed it, i skip around in the comics like i'm al capone dodging the irs. but everything i see for the ship has bruce just "it doesn't matter it's the past" and as someone whose trust has been broken like that no it doesn't. he can't even let go of his parents death and he's had years to come to terms with it. he obsesses over wrongs, but he just let that one go because it led to a son. no, not the storyline for me.
plsplsplsplsplspls write more dc villain smut the people yearn for it.
i have great news nonnie, there's a lot more on the way! as well as a rewrite of that rogue's foursome between edward nygma, selina kyle, and jonathan crane x gn!reader
so you don't ship bruce with talia but you ship him with his kids?
i don't actively seek it out, but outside of Damien who's blood related i'm not against it.
to start, dick isn't just his son that's his brother too, bruce didn't know wtf he was doing when he got dick he had the vaguest notion of an idea and he was blessed by gods far too kind with Alfred to help pick up the slack. that's not just a father son bond, there's trauma bonding, there's growth etc. but at no point has dick ever been just his "son". when it's done with thought outside of "they'd look hot together" but pointing out moments in their past that helped them bond i'm down to clown.
jason wasn't looking for a dad and bruce wasn't looking for a son, it wound up being something good for them both until y'know. it wasn't. gods that ended badly, but then jason came back from the dead, and he's not the same lil ray of sunshine he used to be, he's angry like dick was, and he blames bruce for it and yeah bruce played a part but so did his pride. so i can see them trying to grow past that and finding something new.
i can do this with all of them, there are ways to be interested in something for the insight and not just getting inside each other physically. if it's just smut i'm not interested, they all have their own people for that. but for a use of history and exploring other forms of bonding etc? yeah i can get down
the only other thing i've seen about it being terrible and omg they can't is people confuse evolution of emotion and grooming. realizing that you don't love someone platonically but instead romantically is something that can happen, there's a reason there's so many cliche novelties you can buy that love grows.
I'm interested in your commissions but your messages seem to be closed both here and on ko-fi. ^^
i did look into this Nonnie, my friend was able to message here fine even though i don't follow them . so i'm not sure what's going on. the setting shows it doesn't have to be a mutual so i'm very ?? about that. you can send off anon and i'll attempt to message you instead to see if that works.
for kofi the message link, from what i can tell i'm still new to using it, is under commissions and off to the right. it looks like you need an account to do it, and i checked the settings there too which show open so i'm not sure what the heckie. but if that's not working you can put in a request with your tumblr url and i can reach out to you that way instead.
Dbd nonnie(I can't think of an emoji) but my personal top three are pyramid head, deathslinger, and blight! Something about the buildup ones that lead to sudden death, I suppose! Really there are several good ones in the game, I remember an artist years ago making a collection of drawing a frame from each and I'm eternally sad that didn't get finished and that no one has done something similar. Moris are my favorite part of the game and I'll happily stay behind to get that last person one.
that's fair! when you do let me know
and i have added them to my task list. death slinger is my hear me out in the chat but that's only because of the intense hatred for his harpoon gun when we're working gens xD
listen i know the vibe . i will throw SO FAST for a ph with mori abilities because i'm so sorry i made you chase me when you CLEARLY have needs good sir i am a fool!
