Hello there ghostface!!, I was wondering is Nika still working with or for Lord death man?,is she an anti hero??, I'm really confused about these questions so I was hoping you could help answer them^^, I hope I'm not bothering you too much and have a great day/night!!
Is Nika still working with or for Lord Death Man?
Nika is not working with or for Lord Death Man now. She has taken over his criminal empire and has been running it after Lazarus Island. Nika is working with the empire and not for Lord Death Man but for herself, and she thinks of herself as a newly minted Tokyo crime lord (she had dethroned him).


-[Robin(2021) #17/ Lazarus Planet: Next Evolution]-
Currently, it's possible for her to leave the Lord Death Man empire behind because she thinks that managing people is boring ("And I'm not really that much of a people person."). She wants to slow down a bit to let herself live a little besides killing, to rekindle her old hobbies– painting and opera.
We don't know if she truly leaving the LDM empire, she just said she found an excuse (to find her sister) to get away from it. Plus the Ra's Al Ghul ghost business is not done, so she might still need to stay in charge of LDM's criminal empire for resources and connections.
I do think that Nika remains her control of the criminal empire and couldn't leave it anytime soon, even if she might want to take a break from running the criminal empire and killing.

-[Batman and Robin(2023) #7]-
Is she an anti hero?
I think she can be counted as one at the moment, although in the future I don’t know what paths or choices she will take. There are hints that she might have the chance to kill to achieve her goal (for protecting the people she loves). The reason why she doesn't do it in Gotham is out of respect for Batman because that's her boyfriend/crush's father. And she knows Damian is against the killing after the death tournament.
("I know this city is your baby and everything, so I'm paying respect to the man of the house before I start breaking heads all over your city.").
Then again, Nika told Damian that he had proven/taught her "Life can be more than just being really good at killing people". So it's likely that she has considered Damian's words and done the killing less than before or stopped the killing in the meantime (we have not yet seen her killing people in the comic after the death tournament).
At the end of the day, Nika is still a pretty isolated teenager trying to learn to live with her power and everything else in her circumstances.

-[Robin(2021) #11]-

-[Batman and Robin(2023) #7]-
In the comic, Batman had specifically told her that no killing in Gotham and she accepted it. Nika had respected his rule and kept her word.
I personally think that Nika would stop her actions of killing eventually because of how much Damian is against it (he sort of changes her thoughts and redirects her away from killing), but she would still be involved in the criminal empire for some time because that's the system she had taken over and supports her current life.
Thanks for reading, I hope this has answered your confusion. Have a great day/night anon! :] b

🦇 My 30 Favorite Batfam Fics of 2024 🦇
I’m continuing my annual tradition of sharing some of my favorite fics that came out in the past year (you can see last year’s list here). This is just a way for me to show my love and appreciation for the many amazing artists/writers who keep the fandom alive. If you read any of these fics, please make sure to leave some kudos and comments! And there are so many amazing fics I wasn’t able to include, so I encourage you to show some appreciation to your own favorites!
Please be sure to read all tags and warnings. I’ve provided warnings for the darkest fics.
All of these fics were completed in 2024. I only do one fic per author, but definitely check out all of these authors’ other works. Also, most of these feature tim, because he is my favorite. Now, without further ado…
Sparkles by @iselsis (2k, jason & bruce, fluff, a/b/o dynamics, batman finds an omega kid covered in cuddle pollen and going into heat)
until the bounds of death have been unwound by @vinelark (2.9k, tim & jason, fantasy and angst with a hopeful ending, tim is a demigod and he goes to save jason from the underworld) (the sequel is also great!)
Sacrificial Lamb by @kgraces (3.3k, tim & bruce, angst with a happy ending, bruce makes a deal with the devil to trade tim’s life for jason’s, his kids later find out) (this fic messed me up, i actually think about it all the time)
wouldn’t wish it by @green-eyedfirework (3.3k, jason & damian & tim, whump/angst with a hopeful ending, talia calls jason to save his brothers from the league of assassins) *READ THE TAGS
Lucky Number Three by @sohotthateveryonedied (3.4k, tim & bruce, angst and hurt/comfort, bruce has to deal with the consequences of his actions while he was under the influence of truth serum) (won’t make much sense unless you read this fic which honestly destroyed me)
Anything by @byrambles (3.5k, dick-centric, angst with a happy ending, bruce tells dick he wants to adopt his siblings, dick assumes this does not mean him)
possess by @envysparkler (4.6k, bruce-centric, angst with a happy ending, bruce is possessed by a demon that want, fortunately jason has magic swords)
The Guilt Never Really Left, You Know by @neuro-psyche (4.9k, dick & jason, angst with a happy ending, nightwing saves and then confronts red hood) *READ THE TAGS
Sacrifice by @onemuseleft (5.4k, bruce & his kids, light angst with a happy ending, the justice league is successfully negotiating with alien invaders until they request the sacrifice of one of Batman’s children)
you’ll be alright [or else] by @call-me-quill (5.9k, tim & jason, angst with a happy ending, tim takes a bullet meant for jason and doesn’t understand why jason is so upset)

with the exception of… by @dss1101 (6.4k, tim-centric, hurt/comfort, everyone realizes tim had a very different experience with his batman than all the other kids)
How to be a Little Brother by @die-erlkonigin6083 (7.4k, damian-centric, fluff and light angst, damian tries to learn how to be a good younger brother)
Reply ‘STOP’ to Unsubscribe by @motleyfam & @batmoniker (8.4k, jason & tim, angst with a happy ending, tim imagines his dad when he’s hit with fear gas at school) (this will probably make more sense if you read the rest of the series first, but I don’t think is strictly necessary (but you should read the series anyway bc it’s great))
Of A Genius’ Legacy by @sparkoflena (8.5k, tim-centric, fluff, tim graduates high school, a lot more people than he expected show up)
Flatline by @dragonpyre (8.9k, jason-centric, angst with a happy ending, jason is injected with a drug that basically shuts down his body, he has to watch his family’s reactions to finding his “dead” body)
Our Dead Drink the Sea by @ghost-bxrd (9.2k, jason-centric, angst with a happy ending, jason is a selkie and bruce kept his pelt when he died, the red hood takes the pelt and the batfam want it back)
In The Back Room by WhumpKing223 (9.9k, dick & jason & tim, heavy angst with a hopeful ending, batman discovers black mask is holding three boys captive, bruce wayne decides to take them in) (the rest of the series is about the boys’ time with bruce and it is great) *READ THE TAGS

you’re not defenseless, i’ll be your shelter by @fandomtrash-whataboutit (26.3k, tim-centric, angst with a hopeful ending, tim is lex luthor’s captive and is in charge of watching over the new captives- young justice) (the only batfam relationship in this is tim & dick, but the rest of the series has more batfam plus timkon and is so good)
Brother of the Fucking Year by @aceofdivinechlorophyll (26.4k, jason-centric, fluff and crack, jason makes plans to chaotically meet and bond with his siblings… as red hood) (will probably make more sense if you read the first part of the series first, which is also funny and great)

The Right Substitution is Key by @addictedapple (34.4k, jason-centric, fluff and crack and light angst, nightwing and batman go missing, robin asks red hood to fill in as batman)
the loneliness in worth by @yeeyee123 (56.1k, tim & damian, angst with a happy ending and humor, tim is supposed to be training in paris, he instead ends up with the league of assassins and decides he’s gonna help damian get to his father)
Northern Attitude (I Was Raised on Little Light) by @theskeptileptic (103.2k, tim-centric, heavy angst with a happy ending, tim is bruce’s biological son, jack drake has been punishing him his whole life for this, the batfam just want tim in their life) (technically not finished, but I didn’t put it in the WIP section as there is only one chapter left and it’s honestly at a satisfying stopping point) *READ THE TAGS, there is graphic child abuse
+5 WIPs I’d love to see more of in 2025!
[Refuge] by @raberbagirl (7.6k, tim & jason & dick, mostly fluff, the boys take refuge from the streets in the abandoned and supposedly haunted Wayne manor, the spirit of the manor is just happy to care for the kids)
a cuckoo in the nest by @antebunny (9.4k, tim-centric, angst and fluff, bruce makes a deal with the fae to get jason back, he has to take tim in in return, tim just wants to be loved)

@esorea commissioned me to sketch a scene from @altraviolet's Face the Past, Chapter 12. Imagine being paid to reread one of your favourite fics and then drawing it. I was over the moon to work on this!
Face the Past is a wonderful Mirage-centric fic--with some body horror, a medical mystery, and Skywarp/Mirage, which you can read here!! It includes a prologue titled Face the Light! Flatline is a prominent character in the main story!!
Fic excerpts are included in alt text for further context! Thank you again for commissioning me, Ree!! 💙💜

@scourgefrontiers
>> Context! <<
I still super appreciate the fanart you did for the folklore au! That was very sweet of you~! (I wanted to draw a silly interaction between our aus, but ran out of time! D: It was basically Tails and Kit wigging out upon seeing Flatline because they never saw an undead before xD) Your art is so pretty and I love all your Scourge-centric aus. <3
Your gherl is based on Scourge, of course. The funky ears are supposed to be based on his glasses... Like if they snapped in half? Kinda odd, idk. xD; I definitely would have messed with his design a bit more if I got around to making a final piece.

top 5 doctor who episodes
allowing myself to group 2 parters into one for this bc otherwise the entire list would be just the S9 finale. also it's 10 not 5 because I have too many opinions
1. face the raven/heaven sent/hell bent. to the surprise of no one it's the twelveclara episodes at my number one 💖 heaven sent the best timeloop episode ever. he spent four and a half BILLION years dying over and over and over for a chance at bringing clara back to life. and then he was gonna do to her what he did to donna but she reversed the polarity (doctorification of clara oswald. hello. can you hear me) and he lost his memory of her!!!!!! and the diner scene!!! references to impossible astronaut!!! "I think it's called Clara"!!!!!! Every single thing ever!!!!! claras third insane immortal lesbian situationship!!!! Rigsy!!!! It's the best written episodes ever I'll never recover
2. the empty child/the doctor dances she's got everything! christopher eccleston being excellent as always I miss him. dancing as a metaphor for bisexuality and polyamory! captain jack!! no monster!! just this once everyone lives!! a beautifully hopeful ending!! genuinely scary at times!! great minor characters!! rewatching this last november is what got me back into dw it's That Good
3. flatline CLARAAAA CLARA CLARA ITS A CLARA EPISODE. the doctor is her little purse dog. rigsy being great. scary ass monsters. clara being everything. this kickstarting my favorite plotline. beginning of claras doctorification. "goodness had nothing to do with it." clara lying to her boyfriend because she's fucking insane and still dedicated to maintaining her actively failing relationship with a guy she never loved. The ending scene. Clara.
4. mummy on the orient express twelveclaraisms 💖 this episode has everything the drama the intrigue the murder mystery the orient express IN SPACE! MAISIE!!!!! one of my fav side characters! such incredible lines "everything would be easier if we liked the people we're meant to like, but then there'd be no fairy tales" twelve getting clara to lie to maisie that she can be saved!!! more doctorification!!! THE I LOVE YOU SCENE. CLARA OSWALD. SHAKES YOU. god it's everything. have I mentioned Maisie. I love Maisie. claras hair and outfit
5. deep breath more twelveclaraisms idk what you expected from me. claras perfect outfits. the beginning of the best dynamic ever. peter capaldis first episode! a dinosaur! jenny and vastra!!! moral questions!! missys first appearance!! and of course the final scene!! the final scene of this episode is THE best twelveclara scene perhaps the best dw scene in general
6. world enough and time/the doctor falls I have never cried so much 👍👍👍👍👍 canonical selfcest which is not addressed enough that was insane. awesome premise the cybermen returning in tandem with the master to once again reflect their relationship with the doctor in a twisted version of humanity! Missy!!! Everything about missy!!! goodness without hope without witness without reward!! her death as the perfect scene that her whole arc has built up to!! everything about bill!!! at least she got a happy ending god bless immortal lesbianisms. I feel sick.
7. amys choice amy centric episode 💖💖💖💖💖 really really good what else can I say. It was one of the first dw episodes I watched several years ago and its still a banger. can we talk about how she killed herself rather than live in a world without rory. "this can't be reality because rory isn't here and if it is reality I don't want it" perfect episode no notes
8. the waters of mars it's so fucking good there's nothing else to say. really good standalone episode even if you've never seen any other dw.
9. silence in the library/forest of the dead beginning of the river arc!!! impeccable doctordonna chemistry as always they work so well together it's astounding. really compelling and interesting!!!!! it's so good!!!!! another one that's worth watching even if you haven't seen any other dw
10. the angels take manhattan okay listen. hear me out. it's objectively kind of bad because of the awful awful massacre of the angels lore BUT I will ignore that because every single amy and rory scene is pure perfection. another contender for best dw scene. the last scene with amy makes no sense because eleven and river were looking at the angel so it shouldn't have been able to move but ill ignore that because its sooooo good. I love amy I love rory. worst part of the episode is that she changes her name to amelia williams tho she would not fucking do that. it's rory pond not amy williams.
honourable mentions: smith & jones, utopia, every single episode in S4, the eleventh hour, vincent and the doctor, the girl who waited, the god complex, the lodger, listen, thin ice, oxygen, twice upon a time. ANYWAY!!!!

💭♥️💌 for shockwave!! [belovecore]
💭 A song that you like to daydream about the two of you to: Blue Moon by Pink Martini (or the version by Ella Fitzgerald)

A gorgeous, classic song with moon imagery. Shockwave and Flatline managed to find each other, through circumstances largely out of their control, and both their lives have been improved by their partnership. Most couples have their slow dance song, and this feels like the one for ShockLine
♥️ A song that describes your F/O: End-World Normopathy by Ghost and Pals

There's a few very strong verses in there but as a whole, it covers Shockwave's scientific side, and putting a plan into place that others don't always fully realise. Also I think there's a couple lines in there that relate to Optimus, which is very IDW-centric but it's a delightfully tragic angle.
💌 A song that says what you wish you could tell them: Love Machine by Carlos Alazraqui and Antonio Sol

I am head over heels for this purple tank, and this should help get that into his head in a way he might better understand. I prefer this version of the song specifically for the slow, romantic melody and the mechanical entendres.

The problems with the Chibnall era companions aren’t going to be suddenly fixed by just getting rid of one of them. Graham being killed off will not suddenly make Yaz a more rounded character. The show can work with a four leads, it just needs to do a better job balancing out the character development and keeping the guest characters to a minimum.
#Doctor Who#DW#also give each of them a showcase episode#that is just about them#like Turn Left was for Donna#The Girl Who Wait for Amy#and Flatline for Clara#Demons could've been that for Yaz#but she was reduced to being nothing more than a passive observer#apart from giving them all a reason for being there she is pretty much irrelevant to the story#It Takes You Away would've also made a great Graham-centric episode#but it takes too long to get going and then just rushed through his encounter with not-Grace#and it does nothing to further his relationship with Ryan since they are apart for almost the entire episode#so the final granddad moments doesn't feel entirely earned

Nancy Drew 2x08 "The Quest for the Spider Sapphire"
A Bess-centric episode
Flashback Bess: Planting evidence on her “husband” that gets him thrown in jail.
Present day Bess: Meeting with her Aunt Diana to plan her speech for some upcoming “event”? She is interrupted by Ace’s frantic texts.
“Are you married? To a man”. Ace is obviously a little hurt that his platanchor best friend hadn’t shared this with him. The “To a Man” part suggests a little bit of stinging feelings of rejection. This is reinforced when later Ace is helping Bess prep her speech to Diana “You should emphasize it was a sham marriage and that you never slept with him”- Is this important to Diana or to you Ace?
Bess initially tries to play it off as misunderstanding but…she sees Stephen waiting for her at the docks. HE’S FOUND HER! We’re told a lot by this interaction. The way Bess flinches when he reaches to brush her hair back.... We learn that Bess’s mother threw her out and that Stephen is the one who kept Bess off the streets so in his mind she owes him. Bess calls the marriage a sham marriage. Did they get together to pull some con? Are they really married?
Stephen wants Bess to help him steal some Diana that is in the Marvin’s possession. He threatens to tell Aunt Diana about Bess’s past if she doesn’t help him.
Bess goes to confess to Aunt Diana but turns out she already knows about Bess’s klepto past. Bess thinks she’s home free he has no leverage over her! Aside- Aunt Diana…isn’t she a Marvin by marriage anyway? How did she become the matriarch? Or is Marvin her maiden name?
Meanwhile, Nancy is trying to solve the George+Odette dilemma. Nancy wants to find R. Jenkins who was the original owner of the shroud in 1987. George begs Nancy not to tell Nick. Nancy really isn’t the one to give advice on sharing things with Nick so the conversation doesn’t go much beyond.
R. Jenkins is, unfortunately, recently deceased, but at his estate sale Nancy learns that Ralph was a little “eccentric” and heard voices in his head. George googles the guy and discovers he was in a car accident in 1986 where he was “dead for 10 minutes” before being revived. He must have used the shroud to come back to life. And the voices were his own hauntings/shared souls? More alarmingly, Ralph had died on the 21st, the night that the shroud was used on George. 😬
“That is not a coincidence George”.
Leah reads this line so well!
“We should definitely not flatline you, and re-shroud you as a way to hit the reset button”- George’s face!!!
George and Nancy are kidnapped by a mysterious stranger. The mystery is shortlived as Steven soon calls Bess to show her that he has the girls. Stephen has leverage again!
(Aside, Bess looks super cute in her Hunt and Roast outfit)
“The one with the pretty eyes”
“Who, Ace?”-
NANCY! You are so transparent.
While tied up, Nancy learns a little more about how the Odette/George thing may be working. She also shares her ongonig concerns that it is her Hudson genetics that keep leading to these bad things happening (like now George being vulnerable to the subsequent use of the death shroud)
The boys come to save the girls (don't mind the feminism leaving my body)
Ace cutting the constrictor knot was hot don’t @ me.
Nick not knowing about Odette becomes a bit awkward when he has to cut her from the knots while she is screaming in French. She is ultimately forced to tell him later.
Bess gives Stephen the watch that she had stolen with Ace's help but soon realizes that he has played her. He planted the watch back on her knowing that she would inevitably be caught with it. Bess is kicked out of the Marvin family. She is devastated.
Episode cliffhanger- Someone has stolen the shroud from the locker room at The Claw, the same shroud that if anyone uses it will kill George,
Some new characters to keep an eye on:
New linecook Grant
Ryan + reporter chick- Ryan has way too many secrets going on right now to be getting this close to a journalist.

Always self promote!!! Your works are amazing!!!
Also unrelated to anything at all BUT does anyone have some good Nya fic recs??? Preferably ones that are not necessarily of a romantic nature?? And...not necessarily RGB siblings either but I'll take it; I'm just kinda looking for stuff more focused on her as an individual—
#and hey I’ll take some Nya and Zane duo#they’re rather ynderappreciated as well#this whole journey started cuz *im* trying to write something Nya-centric#and I have no idea where to start ._.#*flatlines*
