#Couldn’t have said it any better ^^^^

i really love how all the characters have understandable reasons for being distant with batsis!reader.

of course they hurt her and should’ve done more. but their reasons make sense.

Bruce struggles emotionally and socially due to his ptsd and autsim. so him not knowing how to truly be a father and entrusting someone he knows does, Alfred, is understandable. He should’ve been more active he should’ve tried harder. but i understand why he didn’t.

for Dick his is literally just the woes of time. as time goes on as life changes especially as you grow up and gain new and more responsibilities and relationships sometimes things slip through the cracks, important things important people. and while he could’ve tried harder to make time for her there’s only so much time and often not enough. while sad and hurtful it’s understandable after all it wasn’t even intentional it was just… life.

Jason… his is so reasonable. dying due to a life style only to come back from the dead and see your beloved sister has thrown herself into that same life style that beaten you down to death… of course he was angry of course he felt betrayed. not only was his sister putting herself in danger she was doing so in way that literally fucking killed him. a way he feared would kill her one day. him pulling away not wanting to watch it happen not being able to bear witness to her inevitable destruction.

that’s just a few but i love that you gave them actual reasons behind their actions/lack of and understandable ones along with their actions not being needlessly cruel yes they made mistakes they hurt her they could’ve and should’ve done better. but it’s not like they were intentionally trying to hurt her or be cruel because realistically they had no reason too it simply isn’t in any of their characters.

i also love how you write the bat!sis and how in Stephs background info it starts to show how her own insecurities play a part in her distance from others. because that’s often the case in reality negative self image and other mental health issues can and do cause you to ininvertly push people away even if you desperately want to be close to them. but i’ll leave that for another time… i’ve already wrote way to much.

wow. anon, i love you for giving a full on analysis on literally how i wrote about all the batfam members so far 😭🫶🫶 i literally couldn’t have said it any better.

i was thinking and planning so hard about each of the characters background because yeah, i didn’t want to make it so unrealistic and ooc because come on. i don’t think any of the batfam members will full on neglect a member of theirs… but for the sake of this plot LOL, i shall write them as such.🥲 it took me a while to figure out how i want the dynamics to be with each of the batfam so i hope it came out natural and in tune for each of the characters.

but thank you for this analysis omg (if you’re planning to do another one for the other members once i’ve written them more feel free! i’d love to read what you think <3)

just wanna put this out there - sofia (paralegal) is engaged too! i've seen a lot of people mixing her up with her identical twin, alex (the one who had the spinal injury), who's married with a child. they look literally identical so i get it being hard to tell them apart, but the point is: both girls are in happy relationships. sofia is getting married to a long time boyfriend, she definitely has no interest in luigi! as a law student myself, building relationships with your clients is so important, and she's literally a paralegal. one of the main aspects of her job is conducting research to bring to attorneys that will benefit the client. attacking her professionalism and credibility all because she interacted with luigi is extremely parasocial and weird! let the girl do her damn job in peace. she's not gonna secretly fuck him in the backrooms of mdc, damn!!!

i typically don’t post “off topic” since this is a blog with a very specific focus, but i can’t just post on here business-as-usual as if i didn’t just spend a significant amount of my afternoon learning about and crying for the family of a palestinian girl who just learned that most of her loved ones are dead.

a common refrain on this blog has been “we are hurting, we are dying, please pay attention.” so i feel the need to stress now that if you’ve ever heard and listened to that sentiment coming from me about my community and the violence we’ve faced, i need you to hear it now and listen to it now when it comes a thousand times more desperately from the mouths of palestinians in the face of the atrocities that are taking their homes, communities, and lives away. i need to make it abundantly clear that if you see what i talk about here and agree and support it but you won’t extend that same solidarity to the palestinians who need it now, you’ve entirely missed the point.

i also want to stress that you cannot let yourself fall for the propaganda that tries to pit queer and trans people against palestinians. there are queer and trans palestinians and their lives are also being destroyed. they exist and they are part of this family and we need to show up for them and their families. so please keep in mind that every time someone says “if you were queer or trans in palestine you would be killed,” what you’re hearing is an attempt at distracting you from who’s actually killing the queer and trans people in palestine.

i’m one of many people who feel incredibly out of their depth thinking about all of this, and i know that even once i’m better educated, i’ll never stop feeling deeply unqualified to talk about it in depth. i get feeling like you don’t understand it, i get feeling like you can’t do anything about it.

but you don’t need to understand every nuance of the politics or know every bit of the history or feel like an expert in it to give a shit. you can and should(!!!!!!!) learn more and find ways that you can contribute, but in the meantime, the absolute least any of us can do is not look away from this. you don’t need to be an expert to see the tragedies unfolding in front of us and know that they are wrong.

i’ll never forget that girl’s family. i’ll never forget the beautiful babies in those pictures who never got to grow up, or the aunts and uncles and grandparents who were taken before their time. i never knew them, but i felt their loss and cried for them and i will never forget them. they and the countless others like them deserved so much better, and those who are still surviving deserve freedom.

so if you’ve ever fought for my community or any other community facing violence, i better fucking see you fighting for palestinians now.

I was wondering if increased appetite is a thing while on T and came across this gem.

ALSO I MET TWENTY ONE PILOTS ON THURSDAY 😭😭😭

ugh its the way that reader saved adrien(?) in the prev timeline and now because of her not being there he got hurt. its the way its her fault that hes hurt, that those bombs went off, but it isnt but it is. its the way she saved people and all she knew was being berated for her failure. its the way she saved so many people in the past but the only way she’ll know now that she saved them is by them being hurt. its the way that you dont know the impact you have on people until you’re gone. its the way she’s “it’s a wonderful life”-ing but its not a dream she can wake up from, its actual people being hurt. its the way she wont ever see it that way—i saved them last time—but rather the negative way—i saved them last time/i failed to save them this time. its the way its just UGH i dont have words ugh i love it but i hate it but its so good 😭

-@narration-ator

😭 this was exactly the impact i wanted that chapter to have because the moment reader went back to when she was 16 and decided she didn’t want to be batgirl anymore, she just changed the whole chartcourse of the future that she knows of, and the ripple effect its going to have. because no matter what she does now, things have already changed and it will continue to change and affect the people around her as well as others she does not know. and reader can’t help but feel responsible, because yes, although she didn’t directly cause the demise for those people, she’s become the reason things come to that point 🫠

My grandfather has been here 20 minutes and he’s already talking about his impending death and the smoke alarm has gone off twice while dad cooks the roast.

Exactly as my family Christmas is supposed to be.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all the little friends in my phone <3

My PCs who start out the most anti-social become the most ride or die by the end of the campaign.

Draven didn’t want to get close to people because she thought her very presence brought misfortune and death to those around her. She was also emotionally disconnected so she had a difficult time connecting to people anyways. By the end of the campaign she was fiercely loyal to her friends, loved them dearly, and would do whatever it took to protect them. Literally the power of love and the bonds that connect people became the main themes of her character arc.

Calio was a bit of a bastard who just wanted to do whatever he wanted to do, get money and power and beauty, kill anyone who crossed him, and was more than a bit of a lying manipulator. By the end he has grown so much I am so proud of him. He loves his found family dearly and will do anything for them. He’s sincerely considering willing choosing to forego gaining Mythic Power (his goal for about half the campaign at this point) for the chance to wish for a man he saw as a kindred spirit to get a second chance at life under healthier circumstances. He is ride or die for all his friends but especially his girlfriend. The couple that slays together stays together. That’s how it goes right? He’s still a lying manipulator but only when manipulating the bad guys into doing what he wants, he’s quit lying and hiding things from the party after one of his lies got found out and it kind of clicked for him that doing that hurts the people he cares about. He just. Really cares about these stupid assholes. They made him feel things more and now he can’t stop.

fucking hell. i really have been so so so brave throughout this whole process like even though i’m terrified of hospitals i have been so calm and cheerful and upbeat about my surgery because i really did need and want it and im so glad i did it like truly. and even though i had promised myself i’d have a good attitude about everything and do my best to be calm and patient and optimistic (i was expecting more pain and for my results to not look exactly how i wanted because i knew the aesthetics weren’t as important as fixing my back pain) (and everything was actually a lot easier than i expected and i love how they look already and i didn’t even have a panic attack in the hospital and the pain has been like. barely noticeable sometimes so largely i haven’t needed to fall back on that resolve) . but changing the tape today was the worst thing i’ve ever had to do i think like. it hurt a fair bit of course and a little bit of it started bleeding when i took off the old tape and it really scared me because i didn’t really notice until it dripped onto my thigh (i used a tissue to clean it up and it stopped bleeding like right away it’s all good) but also i was so shaky even taping it back up and i felt so nauseous and dizzy and like. i couldn’t stop thinking about Infection and what if i’m allergic to the tape (it’s itchy but also it’s covering healing skin which tends to itch too) and i was just sat there dealing with sticky tape and trying to stop it sticking from itself while crying and feeling like i was going to pass out while sat 30cm from a mirror and it was just so rough emotionally i think because everything has been really positive so far. but i was so close to panic and halfway through i almost called my mum for emotional support. i got through it even though the whole ordeal took like 20 minutes. but i still feel so bad physically and emotionally like i am Drained and idk i think it’s really fucked me up like this because i expected it to be as easy/manageable as everything else so far. idk sorry for the rambling and i’ll be okay of course, i just had a very big day yesterday and then couldn’t sleep and then That so i’m just fragileeeee but idk i just can’t believe this is where my braveness fell apart akdhdsjdj

I’m chiming in on something I don’t know anything about. It’s weird to ship people who see each other and were raised as siblings. Even if they aren’t blood related, they see each other as siblings would see each other. Shipping two people who see each other as siblings in every aspect is weird.

a/n: nsfw, cheating (on both parts), fem reader, just thinking about him rn, 18+ mdni!!!

kento “oh he’s just my work husband!!” nanami, who can’t express how much he hates your actual husband. god, he could treat you so much better, and you settled for that lowlife who obviously cheats on you every chance he gets.

nanami loathes to hear about how your weekend was spent alone because your husband was “working late”—an excuse he’d heard every monday since you started working at the same firm as him.

but it’s okay, kento can show you how a real man is supposed to treat you.

it starts off slow—a cup of coffee here and there and the occasional “you look nice today” compliments. then escalates into a cup of coffee every day, “did you do something new with your hair?” kind of compliments, and even going out of his way to buy you lunch on your lunch break (only if you go out to eat with him, of course).

which, somehow, turned into you spending your nights “working late” in kento’s apartment, and soon his bed, getting ravished by the blond man just as he wished.

how did it turn into this, really? you don’t know, and honestly, you don’t care with the way he makes you feel. it was a pleasure you’d never had the opportunity to experience before—your husband was quite lackluster in the sack—and you’d be lying if you said you felt guilty about any of it.

if there was one thing kento appreciated about your husband, it was the fact he never pleasured you, so he got to have it all to himself. the screams you couldn’t stop, the wetness your cunt produced from just a little bit of kissing, your trembling legs along with the small “thank you” he got after you were done—it was all his.

and the next night at the annual company party, when your work husband and real husband meet one another, kento shakes your husband’s hand, secretly thanking him for being so terrible so he could have you all to himself.
