ok so the batfam that can read readers mind
But the reader is like paranoid, they Are suddenly hit with irrational paranoia like they could be having dinner and suddenly boom paranoia strikes and they begin thinking about a bunch of stuff that could go wrong, potential goals and so on and its irrational and its like it would be quite impresive for the batfam when they have to deal with it for it makes bruce look not paranoid
Sorry if this is vague…. I kinda want you to just do what you want with this…
Yeah unfortunately the paranoia in this situation is through the roof.
Like reader was already paranoid and y’know dealing with intrusive thoughts their own way, ignoring it and moving on.
But the Wayne’s aren’t gonna do that, at least not at the start.
Cause like you have a mildly concerning intrusive thought while at dinner, push it away and continue on but like…. Now everyone’s looking at you. And it’s like as soon as you notice it’s like it never happened.
The conversation picks up again, like you imagined the brief pause and harrowing glances.
And you ignore it, obviously, wondering if you got some food on your face, second guessing yourself, it’s no big deal.
But it keeps happening. Beyond the intrusive thoughts too.
You think about needing a pen? Bam. Tim just so happens to have one before you can get up to look.
Think a walk sounds nice? Damian’s already knocking on your door with Titus’s leash in hand.
A passing ‘woah talk about bed head’ and suddenly Dick is aggressively finger combing his hair before abruptly stopping himself, like he got caught or something.
You keep a sarcastic quip to yourself and hear Jason snort across the room, but when you look over it’s like he’s purposely avoiding your gaze.
And readers just policing their thoughts to hell and back, long winded rants that keep switching around, reasserting ideas multiple times over, deconstructing and reconstructing it goes on and on and honestly?
The family’s in for a hell of a headache cause it’s bad enough dealing with their own problems and now they’re being blasted 24/7 with yours.
And like for the overtly yandere angle, I was thinking, if the reader ever wanted to move out it’d basically be impossible. Every step towards it somehow takes you 3 steps back, it’s infuriating. And just all around rather horrifying.
And they feel so bad. But… yknow might as well use it to their advantage.
And I’m not even sure reader would find out, yknow? The bats have insane poker face, just give em a few days to adjust and it’s like nothing happened.
Though I’d imagine if the reader reached the levels of paranoia to even worry the family, it’s possible? But it’d have to be done away from them, cause they’d try and dissuade and gaslight for sure.
Or as a scare tactic, like a very final “we can hear everything you think, so don’t even try” like LITERAL THOUGHT CRIMES ITS JUST AWFUL AGHHH
AND AND they can hear your discomfort, they’d push your boundaries constantly and like… they’d know you hate it. Wouldn’t matter though! Sucks to suck!
Ahem yeah this was all over the place lmaooo, kinda strayed from the original ask, I like to ramble
