Emotional Walls Your Character Has Built (And What Might Finally Break Them)
(How your character defends their soft core and what could shatter it) Because protection becomes prison real fast.
✶ Sarcasm as armor. (Break it with someone who laughs gently, not mockingly.) ✶ Hyper-independence. (Break it with someone who shows up even when they’re told not to.) ✶ Stoicism. (Break it with a safe space to fall apart.) ✶ Flirting to avoid intimacy. (Break it with real vulnerability they didn’t see coming.) ✶ Ghosting everyone. (Break it with someone who won’t take silence as an answer.) ✶ Lying for convenience. (Break it with someone who sees through them but stays anyway.) ✶ Avoiding touch. (Break it with accidental, gentle contact that feels like home.) ✶ Oversharing meaningless things to hide real depth. (Break it with someone who asks the second question.) ✶ Overworking. (Break it with forced stillness and the terrifying sound of their own thoughts.) ✶ Pretending not to care. (Break it with a loss they can’t fake their way through.) ✶ Avoiding mirrors. (Break it with a quiet compliment that hits too hard.) ✶ Turning every conversation into a joke. (Break it with someone who doesn’t laugh.) ✶ Being everyone’s helper. (Break it when someone asks what they need, and waits for an answer.) ✶ Constantly saying “I’m fine.” (Break it when they finally scream that they’re not.) ✶ Running. Always running. (Break it with someone who doesn’t chase, but doesn’t leave, either.) ✶ Intellectualizing every feeling. (Break it with raw, messy emotion they can’t logic away.) ✶ Trying to be the strong one. (Break it when someone sees the weight they’re carrying, and offers to help.) ✶ Hiding behind success. (Break it when they succeed and still feel empty.) ✶ Avoiding conflict at all costs. (Break it when silence causes more pain than the truth.) ✶ Focusing on everyone else’s healing but their own. (Break it when they hit emotional burnout.)

Ways I Show a Character is In Love But Doesn't Know It Yet...
This one’s for the emotional masochists writing the slowest of burns, where your readers are screaming “just kiss already!” by chapter twenty... I Love and Hate you... ♥
They compare everyone else to the person… and everyone else comes up short. Even when they’re not consciously doing it. No one’s laugh is as warm. No one’s eyes crinkle that way.
They remember the weirdest little things about them. Birthdays? Whatever. But that time they snorted laughing at a dumb joke? Locked and loaded.
They feel weirdly guilty when flirting with someone else. Like they’re cheating… except they’re not even dating. Or are they? Or—ugh, feelings are the worst.
They notice every damn detail when the other person isn’t around. "They’d like this song." "This smells like their shampoo." "I wonder what they'd say about this weird squirrel."
They use weird, overly specific compliments. Not “You look good,” but “That color makes your eyes look like a storm in a novel I’d cry over.”
They get weirdly intense about that person being hurt or in danger. Like, irrationally intense. "He’s just a friend," they say while planning to murder anyone who makes them cry.
They feel safer around them than anyone else, and it freaks them out. Like: “I’m always on guard. Except with you. That’s... suspicious.”

Just an extremely Normal thing to say
Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.
Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.
Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.
Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.
Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
Reminder these are people.

Bringing this back because yes this also means Tigress and Tim are also parallels
Tai Lung (Kung Fu Panda) and Jason Todd (DC Comics) are direct parallels to each other but no one is ready to talk about it

just a little curious about the people absolutely crashing out over the Bruce dating Joe chills daughter storyline (which I dislike cause I think it’s lazy and just bad storytelling but like… this doesn’t even scratch top 50 questionable love interests within the batfamily or even just Bruce) I wonder how do you guys feel about batcat in The Batman (2022)?
Bruce pursues a relationship with Selina Kyle and then finds out her father Carmine Falcone hired Chill to murder the Waynes and then stole their money for his own personal gain…. So technically his role is even worse than the Joe chill in the comics cause he actually premeditated their murders and directly benefitted from it, while the comic version of Joe Chill was an average criminal who just wanted some cash.
I’m just wondering why you think one is scandalous and the worst thing to happen to comics (it’s really not) while the other is okay and cutesy. Do you think it would be logical for Bruce to start condemning Selina for her father’s actions? She did know who Falcone was to her, even if she might not have known what he did to the Waynes, so it’s almost the same situation. (Completely ignoring Selinas and Scarlett’s morals/actions here cause it’s not the point I’m trying to make)
I understand most people have probably not even read the issues with Chill’s daughter and are going off shock value from popular fandom posts (considering this has been going on for months and last months issue was not her first appearance, so why the uproar now?) but like most of us have probably watched The Batman (2022) and I have not seen discourse about that. I’m just curious as to what makes those two situations different (other than execution cause I’ll be the first person to call out Tom Taylor’s mediocre writing)

“Who would win in a fight if—” Batfleck. It’s gonna be Batfleck every time. I’m sorry. It doesn’t even matter if he’s older (he’s got old man strength and rage) he’s fucking HUGE.

The probabilities of Stephanie Brown taking up your mantle are low..
- Batgirl

- Robin

- Batwoman (earth 3)

- Nightwing
But never zero!
