if you had a graph with the x axis being from "doesn't view batman as a father" to "views batman as a father" and y axis being from "doesn't view bruce as a father" to "views bruce as a father", where would you put each batkid?

btw, i love your recent metas <3

This is such an interesting ask!! Here's my rendition of it:

I'm going to add a little reasoning because these are contestable!

Dick: I personally don't think Dick separates Bruce from Batman the way some other Batkids do. Even if he did, Dick has been with Bruce so long, is so steeped in both his vigilante and civilian lives, that he's Bruce's son in any identity. Their bond transcends any 'Bruce vs. Batman' division.

Tim: Similarly, I don't think Tim separates Bruce/Batman, especially since he came into his life knowing both identities. The reason he's lower than Dick is because Bruce wasn't his dad originally; I'm a little biased since I'm now reading Batman: Contagion, but the presence of Jack Drake in much of Tim's tenure as Robin prevents Tim from being as strongly attached to 'Bruce/Batman = dad' as Dick.

Cass: Of course Cass separates Bruce and Batman very clearly, as she does with many people, such as herself and Babs as Oracle. For the early part of their relationship she didn't know Bruce, nor did she care; Batman is her father, Bruce is just the guy Batman happens to be sometimes. (I think this is less true recently, but she still thinks of Batman first and Bruce second).

Damian: Struggled with him because he definitely thinks of Bruce as his dad under any name, but I do think it's Batman that matters to him. He is the 'blood son' but it's the Robin mantle that establishes his relationship to Bruce (Robin, Son of Batman, not Damian, son of Bruce). This may have changed recently with the current Batman and Robin run, but for the majority of Damian's time I think it's fair to say he thought of himself as the son of Batman, not Bruce. (He is not anti Bruce though, which is why he's not that low).

Jason: Jason for sure thinks of Bruce as his dad - the entirety of UtRH wouldn't have happened if Jason didn't believe to his core that Bruce loved him as a son. That belief is so strong that Bruce overshadows Batman, in a way. Jason spars with Batman on the moral front, but his conflict is ultimately always with Bruce, which is the name he consistently uses in UtRH. This is the one I'm least sure about though because I've not read lots of Jason's runs.

Stephanie: Like Cass, Stephanie didn't know Bruce at all, so a lot of her relationship to him is Batman-only. She definitely doesn't think of either Bruce or Batman as a father - her desire for Batman's approval has shades of him being a father-figure, but it never goes as far as an actual desire for a father-daughter relationship. The only reason she's higher than Duke is because of the somewhat complicated way he echoes a father (and she, to Bruce, echoes Jason).

Duke: Duke doesn't really care about Bruce, and he cares about Batman only as a mentor. He basically tells Bruce he's only useful as Batman; even then, Duke doesn't have a super deep emotional attachment to Batman. He also loves Doug, who's still alive (though MIA), and wouldn't replace him in any scenario. He explicitly calls Batman a 'mentor' and 'friend'.

These are just my takes, I'm sure there are other interpretations of every single one of these. It's one of those questions that highly depends on your preferred dynamics for the characters, where canon can go either way. Even if this is horribly incorrect, I hope it was interesting! Thanks for the ask <3.

i think one of the biggest scams i've seen in my lifetime is the idea that it looks better to have to have all matching mugs, preferably that match your dishes

reblog and tell me about your coffee mug

Have a Sun, Moon, and a StarrSpice!

I’ve been super busy with work and other stuff in my life so I haven’t had the time energy or motivation to really draw all that much, but with things settling down a bit I decided to stretch my drawing muscles and dive back in

And who better to do that with than sun and Moon? The most drawable boys ever

Very self indulgent but very much needed with the chaos in my life lately

It feels good to be back

It's so funny to see people talking about Lucanis and Davrin's banters and how they don't like each other because somehow in my game whenever I'm at the Lighthouse those two are often hanging out. Just trading barbs while watching over Assan, or over coffee in the kitchen. I'm convinced that Davrin said his "So you're an abomination huh. Well I'm watching you." line one day and Lucanis, who was functioning on two hours of sleep and with bags under his eyes, just went "Right. Let's do this over dinner then" not to sound flirty or anything, but because he was already in the kitchen preparing food. And thus the intricate rituals began: "Just so you know, I'm watching you, and the most effective way to do this is to spend time with you I guess - Alright. Just so you know, I'm into you too. I know your secrets as well." HILARIOUS. One of the best duo in Veilguard if you ask me.

Proseka X Twst Au - Nightcord At 25

" A mysterious music circle that operates at 1:00 AM (25:00), and whose identities are shrouded in mystery. "

Idia Shroud| Username: Gloomurai , The groups Composer

Riddle Rosehearts| Username: Rosebud, The groups Lyricist

Azul Ashengrotto| Username: Sea Witch, The Groups Manger and Artists

Cater Diamond| Username: Trick King , The groups Regular Social media Poster and Animator

Characters:

Kanade - Idia | This was a fairly easy decision just due to not going out much and a family member (in Idia's case Ortho) no longer being present.

Mafuyu - Riddle | : ) Bad mothers and Med school must go hand in hand i guess.... Anyways they're both my favs and if i have to explain more i WILL be throthing at the mouth - Since Mafuyu is the creator of the Proseka Sekai, Riddle is the creator of this Au's sekai!

Ena - Azul | I thought about this really hard causing i easily could have had Jamil as Ena instead but i felt like Azul was the right choice

Mizuki - Cater | THAT FEELING WHEN YOU HIDE BEHIND A MASK OF CHEERINESS DESPITE HATING YOURSELF - Anyways Vill was the other option for Mizuki but i have other ideas for Vill later (✿◡‿◡)

General Info:

Au starts 2 years before the main plot closer to the end of Cater and Idia's first year at NRC

This Au is pretty much just a what if the Twst kids where in the music groups of proseka and how or if that would change anything in twst canon

After Riddle joined NRC (and memorised all 810 rules of the queen of hearts) the sekai started to change to more Alice in Wonderland theme - Mostly small little things like bottles that say 'drink me' and maybe some Flamigos and Hedghogs - Then post-OB more things started to become like the Heartslabyul (A place he can be himself)

Since Cater is the one who looks after the music groups social media page (Magicam) and posting on it the most i can imagine realllllly early in the morning him forgetting to switch back to his personal account (Tbh cater probably has like 4 accounts at this point...) and posting something that has ALMOST accidently revealed his identity

I LOVE IDIA'S HOODIE IN HIS SCHOOL UNIFORM AND BELIEVE HE LIVES IN IT BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT HE DOES NOT WASH THAT THING NEARLY AS MUCH AS HE SHOULD

Azul, Floyd and Jade have a shared place to help adjust to being on land - Probably near the beach to help them adjust to land

Do i believe Azul has a fashion sense outside of ✨bussiness meeting mafia style✨? No, no i do not,the only time he does not look ready to take away everything you own is first thing in the morning and when someones (cough cough the tweels force him into something else

Riddle visited (And has been visiting) the Sekai well before the others, did Miku introduce herself.... No so therefore he took matters into his own hands, ("If she does not have a name i will just have to give her one-") Unfortunatly fairtales weren't a common occurance in his showhold and therefore Bob was the best he could come up with.....

When the group finally did meet up for the first time it went .....Well... Not great (Something about teleporting to a strange dull looking world can do that to you)

Extras (First meeting) -

[Text]

Riddle: Pardon me for my eariler outburst. Allow me to intoduce myself, My name is Riddle Rosehearts

Riddle: And this is my friend ✨Bob✨

Insert Hatsune Miku who has been dubbed 'Bob'

Cater & Idia: EMO HATSUNE MIKU !?!

(Cater: Where TF did Bob come from....)

Azul: ....* Insert Azul inner monologue here *

Love and hate can sometimes cross wires - DPXDC Ficlet

She props her up against the far wall, and kneels before her, fingers deceptively gentle against her cheek. Danyal is cold and trembling, her once bronze skin now dull. She meets her other half— self— sister— mother— predecessor’s eyes, and they are still wet. But now they are sharp, focused on Her face.

Danyal takes a shuddering breath, one that wracks itself down her spine. One that She can feel sinking into her — their? — shared soul. “You’re going to kill me.” She says, matter of fact, something like grief choking in her voice, making it shake.

She blinks at Her mother—sister—friend— predecessor, a feeling She knows is horror but thinks is hatred filling up Her lungs. Her cool palm trails kind down to her throat, Her talon fingers wrapping around the fragile skin. With very little effort, She could break her little neck. “Yes.” She murmurs, a sound only the two of them can hear. “I am.“

Her mother-sister-other half— predecessor shudders again, and yet makes no sound. Simply goes limp with acceptance in her arms. She doesn’t bother to even fight; she looks tired. Make it quick, it’s like she says.

I will. She promises, running the gentle padding of Her thumb along her jugular. It’s the only mercy She thinks She’ll ever give. But first…

“Give me a name?”

(Mother— sister— mine—) Danyal stares at Her, confusion parting her slowly paling lips. There’s silence between the two, thickening the air like the rise of an oncoming storm. Hurt and rage begins to toil beneath Her skin. Was the thought of naming Her so abhorrent, that she’d rather not say a thing at all? Her name is nothing?

Before She can take Her anger out, Danyal breathes in sharp. The sound is painful, jarring like jags of broken glass. She raises a hand, her palm — rough and calloused, proof of her fourteen years of life, of hardship — finds Her cheek too. It’s almost loving, the way Danyal swipes her thumb across Her skin, her clammy fingers tucking a strand of hair behind Her ear.

An emotion sweeps across her, boiling and toiling, burning hot and consuming her whole. Thick, bubbling in her throat, curling behind her teeth and under her tongue and tinging her peripherals with spots. An overwhelming emotion.

It must be hatred, she thinks. What other feeling can encompass one so much?

When Danyal breathes out, so with it comes a name; “Layal.”

Danyal always did love the nights.

(If you ask the Mother of Monsters why she killed Danyal al Ghul, she’ll tell you it was because she loved hated her.)

AU: Where Sukuna Wins

Part 1

Part 2 here

Imagine an alternate universe in which Sukuna triumphs, dominates over Japan, and endures a lonely existence for many centuries, while allowing some humans to live.

They hold a grudge against him, of course, and want to kill him. They train at Jujutsu High and have some great fighters that occasionally provide Sukuna with some entertainment. 

They are so desperate for salvation, they can only find solace in prophecies about a figure with powerful blue eyes that will defeat the king of curses and rescue Japan.

And do you know what Sukuna does in response to that? One might expect him to go full Pharoah mode and kill newborns, but NO!!

HE DOES THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE !!

Whenever he ravages a village and devours the women and children, he ALWAYS spares the blue-eyed infants.

All the curses know better than to kill an infant with blue eyes. The last time a curse did that, Sukuna made sure to make an example of it.

Killing a member of the Gojo clan is also off limits, as well as anything that could delay the reincarnation of this certain person.

These humans are not the only ones waiting for salvation.

Sukuna is also WAITING...for his wretched existence to end at the hands of this person.

The ONLY one worthy of having the honor to do so.

Kinda wild that Mira was able to pass through two stages of The Hollow in season 2, the Parrot Island & the Sci-fi Nuclear Plant- without anyone's help. She is so cool and she's one of the beta-testers of The Hollow

I love my compassionate and awesome girl- Mira!

MONICA'S INCREDIBLY BIASED TOP 5 GL SHOWS OF 2024

1. the loyal pin. a period piece QL with a (believable) happy ending and a fairytale-like quality to it that was able to charm me from the very first episode. while the pace of the story can definitely be slow at times, i was personally just too absorbed in the world that this show created to mind it. the display of traditions, customs, and food from thai culture, along with the beautiful cinematography and the colorful cast of characters, all helped to achieve this fully immersive experience, giving the perfect frame for anin and pin’s romance. becky as anin was also a revelation.

2. ayaka-chan wa hiroko-senpai ni koishiteru. I ADORE THIS LITTLE SHOW WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL. i admit that, as a bisexual woman myself, i found the bisexual erasure pretty maddening at first, however i am willing to forgive it in the face of how bright, lively, sweet, and at the same time deep and full of emotion this series is. it’s an age difference office romance that actually addresses the generational gap between the leads by exploring how society’s view on queerness changed throughout the years, and it does so by being funny, delicate, and unapologetically lesbian.

3. reverse 4 you. this is where my bias comes through, because while this show is far from perfect, i have the biggest soft spot for it. in general i tend to really enjoy stories that feature any kind of time related powers, but compared to others the true strength of this series is the familial bond between wa and vi, which shines as much (if not more) than the romantic relationship between wa and four. i do feel like the story needed at least one more episode to wrap up the loose ends more neatly, as some things kinda left me baffled and pretty confused, but my love for this little family of three makes me willing to overlook everything else.

4. pluto. if my meter of judgement to make this list had only consisted in chemistry and performance, then this show would have definitely landed in the first three spots, as namtan and film are incredible in it (the bridge scene in episode 11 is one of the most memorable of the year for me), however some of the plot points don’t sit quite right with me, and the execution of others was a bit lacking, so i unfortunately had to detract a few points. still, i enjoyed the show a lot: it presented a unique story in an interesting way, there was never a dull moment, and not once i skipped the intro because the OST is just amazing.

5. the secret of us. this show being so low in the list doesn't sit quite right with me, but at the same time it doesn't have the originality or the effectiveness in storytelling that other ones have. what it has, however, are ling and orm showcasing fantastic chemistry and very natural acting, which elevated a plot that im not usually particularly fond of (exes meeting again years later) and gave a lot of personality to their characters. the happy ending also feels earned, and some of the side characters are very memorable.

+ honorable mention (because once again, im a cheater)

23.5. i wanted to do a quick shout-out to this show because i feel like the fandom tends to give it a way harsher judgement than it deserves. while the second half did have a few things that bothered me, i still find this show a very accurate representation of teenage emotions, and the way it depicts young queer love healed the part of me that didn't have this kind of series growing up. all in all, it brought me a lot of comfort, and im incredibly grateful for that.

Oh heck yeah freeman's mind rocks!!!

Anyways um.

It's been fun so far I can't wait to play tomorrow again hehe
