Books with Pictures: Batman and Robin Eternal (vol 1-2) (2015-2016)
Writers: James Tynion IV & Scott Snyder
In which I just decided to skip a bunch of arcs to get to the one I really wanted to read 🙈
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was just really in a Robin mood and I saw a screenshot on Instagram from this story arc that got my attention and I needed the context for this:
Tumblr media
My ultimate thing is that I very much love seeing Batman be a dad, so I needed to see how he followed up with Dick’s confession of what he saw after being in contact with Scarecrow fear gas for the first time.
I was just too lazy to read Batman Eternal. I did have the basic understanding is that Dick was still working with Spyral but the bat family is aware that he’s alive. Oh, and Batman has amnesia.
I would say that this was overall enjoyable. Cassandra Cain makes her comeback in the New 52 in this story-- before it all gets rebooted again lol. Despite the title, Batman (in the present) remains mostly not present. The only glimmers of Batman we see is when we are taken back to Batman and (Dick) Robin's first case with the Scarecrow, via flashbacks, which I honestly don't mind. Bruce and Dick are my favorite Batman and Robin dynamic, so this was very much my taste 👌
This is a Robins story and I was happy to see them all working together-- even Damian making a last minute appearance.
As for the story, a villain, Mother whom Batman in the past tried to hide from Robin, returns many years later. Mother essentially uses traumatized children to become her army in cleansing the world and she offers Batman a “better” partner. In the present, she finally starts enacting her plans.
I love seeing Batfam have their Batfam moments and there is plenty of that here!
Overall rating: 4/5

Monthly Reads | August 2017
Tumblr media
OMG! August was such a good month - I’ve read lots of amazing fics! Please make sure to also check out the fics under the cut! ❤ THANK YOU TO ALL WRITERS FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND FOR SHARING YOUR STORIES! ❤ Top 5 6 + 11 more under the cut:
Pray for some sweet simplicity
by delsicle | a/b/o | enemies to lovers | 237k Louis is the only omega to ever make it in the cut-throat world of competitive motorcycle racing—that is, he would be if anyone actually knew about his identity. Now, his sights are set towards competing in—and winning—the European Grand Prix, the biggest and most difficult race of the entire year, so he can disappear underground for good. He’s close enough, too, until an alpha sports journalist is assigned to follow Louis’s every move as he prepares for the event of his career. Or, an AU where motorcycle racing is the biggest sport in a heavily divided world, Louis is trying to take control of his own destiny, and Harry is in for more than he bargained for.
[*edited*]
Chasing Empty Spaces
by domesticharry | historical AU | 1930s | 79k The year is 1934 and Harry Styles was to inherent the largest tobacco firm in the south. His parents have picked out the “perfect” girl for him to marry and he has the privilege of receiving the highest education possible. The problem was, Harry hadn’t realized he didn’t actually want any part of that future until he met a mechanic named, Louis Tomlinson.
We’ll Be Seamless
by dinosaursmate for HL Fic Fest (2017) | Tumblr AU | pining | exhibitionism | voyeurism | 52k Green reblogged an old photo of himself. It was from back in October, a Halloween special. A pulse shot all the way through Louis because this photo was his absolute favourite, and it had taken the rest of the year for him to wean himself off of it. Green was on his knees, arms stretched out in front of him with his fingertips digging into the surface of his bed. He was wearing a pair of cat ears on his head, his curls falling forward. His back was arched, and in the foreground of the picture, Green’s bum was high in the air, a long, black cat tail sitting neatly between his cheeks. — Louis spends all his spare time scrolling arty nude blogs on Tumblr but amongst them all, Green is his favourite.
Given a Chance
by Fabby | Future Fic | canon compliant | slow burn | coming back together | anxiety attacks| 173k Five years after One Direction took their last tour, the last thing Louis Tomlinson ever expected to happen while on a tea run at the local Piggly Wiggly was to run into his ex-boyfriend and ex-bandmate Harry Styles. The odds of them ever running into each other again had to be super slim, right? Wrong. What happens when you mix ex-boyfriends with a large serving of Small Town America? Will Louis and Harry be able to set aside their differences, or will Louis be able to stay breezy as fuck in the wake of Harry’s arrival? (or, the one where Louis and Harry run into each other five years after One Direction ends and learn how to love each other again. Featuring: Reggie as the overweight labrador, Niall as Louis’ last grip on reality, and Nowheresville, North Carolina as the setting for Louis’ worst nightmare to come true.)
No sooner loved (series)
by benzos 1| As the winter to foul weather Trans character | mpreg | abortion | hurt/comfort | 45k AU. An unplanned pregnancy throws a spanner into Harry and Louis’ relationship. It wasn’t supposed to go like this. 2| You and you are sure together Trans character | eating disorder | hurt/comfort | 48k AU. The first day of fall term, Louis hits one of his residents in the face with a door. Later that day, said resident seeks refuge after a fight with his roommate. It becomes a thing. And then it becomes something else. 3| Baby, i’m speeding, and red lights are run pwp | 7k Louis really would’ve liked to just order the damn thing off the internet, but Harry insists that anything going inside your body ought to be thoroughly researched, which, apparently, mandates going to a sex shop. Knowing how ludicrously uncomfortable Louis is with the whole thing, Harry devises the ingenious solution of bringing Eleanor along and having her pose as Harry’s girlfriend who’s interested in trying out pegging, with Louis tagging along as a supportive best mate. It’s not Harry’s worst plan to date, but it’s somewhere in that range.
Under me, you
by hazzafrazza | friends to lovers | superheroes | 12 k You Won’t Believe Who Was Spotted Leaving Harry Styles’ Primrose Hill Pad! If Harry was being completely honest, it probably wasn’t the best idea to be a world-renowned popstar and an infamous vigilante. (Especially when all the comic books said never reveal your secret identity to keep your loved ones safe – which was all well and good, until Louis.) Or: Harry wants a lot of things – fame, glory, Louis – but that last one is particularly hard to get when everyone thinks you’re dating your secret superhero alter-ego and suddenly you’ve become your own worst cockblock.
Such Good Luck
by casuallyhl for HL Mpreg Fic Exchange | Historical AU | 1910s | mpreg | secret relationship | class difference | 66k Louis smiles at Harry’s words, leaning into his touch. “Tell me again.” Smiling, Harry takes Louis into his arms. Pressing gentle kisses to his face, Harry murmurs, “In six months’ time, I will have my twenty-fifth birthday. On that day, my portion of the inheritance will become legally mine. And I plan that very day to announce to my family that I have found love.” Harry chuckles as he runs his lips lightly along Louis’ cheekbone. “That, in fact, I found love when I was twenty-one years old, and that I have loved and been loved every day since.” Or, an Edwardian AU where Harry is a young aristocratic lord and Louis is a working class dairy farmer. Secrets are a necessary part of their relationship, but Louis has one that could topple their whole world.
What A Life I’d Have Missed
by harioandlouigi for HL Mpreg Fic Exchange | mpreg | established relationship | 27k It all started with a prank, tears, and guilt. Louis has been pranking Harry since the day they met. Now, seven years later, Harry has finally come up with the perfect plan to prank his husband back. He has a borrowed positive pregnancy test in front of him, he’s perfected his facial expression, and he’s dead sure Louis will fall for it. He doesn’t exactly get the panicked reaction he expected, though. As a matter of fact, nothing ever seems to turn out the way he expects it to, but that’s for the best, really. Or, the one where an insensitive joke soon becomes a very real, happy pregnancy.
Small Doses (Loving You It’s Explosive)
by Anonymous for HL Summer Exchange 2017 | personal trainer Harry | boxing | dom/sub undertones | 38k Louis Tomlinson finds himself at Vitality Fitness to try and turn his life around after having left his cheating boyfriend of four years. The gym’s owner, Liam, quickly becomes a good friend, but his right hand man is rude and dismissive from the get-go. Louis and Harry continue to clash all while Harry is trying to move his way up the ranks in Manchester’s amateur boxing circuit, but they can’t seem to stay away from each other.
Sound Like a Song
by allwaswell16 for HL Fic Fest (2017) | 14k In high school, Louis Tomlinson lit up Harry’s world like nobody else, even if Harry did most of his pining from the safety of his tightly knit circle of friends. Ten years later, Harry is ready to make some changes. He’s tired of having so many regrets and not taking charge of his life, and he still hasn’t forgotten how brightly Louis shines. He’s about to get a long awaited second chance. Or the one where Harry helps out at a farmer’s market and gives Louis free vegetables.
Take Me Back to Where We Started
by amory | exes to lovers | famous/non-famous | 27k Harry and Louis haven’t spoken since they broke up four years ago. As boarding school sweethearts they once spent every waking moment together, but now they can hardly stand to be in the same room. When their five year class reunion comes around, both boys decide against their better judgement to return and (hopefully) have a good time. The only problem is, they’re both still hopelessly in love. Starring Harry as the petty ex, Louis as the new James Bond, Niall as a boy genius and fake boyfriend extraordinaire, and Liam and Zayn as two friends just trying to make it out of this weekend alive.
Tightrope
by Anonymous for HL Mpreg Fic Exchange | mpreg | exes | friends to lovers | 33k Louis knows he and Harry are going to be together for the rest of their lives and one day they were going to get married and have three point five children, a dog, and two cats. But life hasn’t matched up perfectly yet and that time is not now. So they are both happy to be best friends and casually date other people until life decides they really should get their shit together. aka Louis gets pregnant from “one last time” sex and he and Harry somehow think they’ll be able co-parent without it being weird for anyone (most especially their new boyfriends).
Souls; Plural, Parallel
by Anonymous for HL Mpreg Fic Exchange | mpreg | soulmates | 19k Soulmates are rare, the sort of rare that means everyone has a story about a friend’s sister’s coworker or a brother’s roommate’s cousin. But the fact of the matter is that most people never meet theirs. It’s unfortunate then, that Louis finds out the hard way that he met his soulmate in a club, and the guy never texted him back.
Friend Request
by Anonymous for HL Summer Exchange 2017 | 11k This was written for Kassio as a pinch hit for the HL Summer Exchange, from the prompt: “ Louis is bored on Facebook and in the “People you may know” suggestions, he sees the name Harry Styles. The profile picture doesn’t show the person. He thinks it’s an old family friend who he misses – maybe a middle-aged or elderly former neighbor or babysitter who he was fond of as a child - and sends a friend request. Turns out it’s not old man Harry from their old neighborhood, it’s hot young Harry (who he’s never met before) who accepts his friend request…”
If the Surface Begs You Home
by Anonymous for HL Mpreg Fic Exchange | mpreg | mermaid!Harry | 17k Harry is a mermaid from the underwater kingdom of Mercadia who is a little too fascinated by life above the surface. He’s kicked out of his home after he winds up pregnant, and has to figure out how to make his way in the world. Louis is the darling of the small neighbouring seaside village who came home after university to take over their local library, and can’t seem to stay away from the mysterious pregnant mermaid his friends introduce him to.
Out of the blue corner
by fallingaway | boxing | slow burn 85k Louis is a boxer banned because of doping. Harry is a journalist following the story. * * * “It seemed like a normal morning, but he had a feeling it was the quiet before the storm. And by storm, he meant getting involved in Louis Tomlinson’s life.”

Spy x Family: Family Portrait (2023)
Concept/Art: Tatsuya Endo
Author: Aya Yajima
Guess my current anime obsession 🩸🕵️‍♂️ 👧 🐶
Tumblr media
I’m obsessed with Spy x Family! First time I watch the anime AND read the manga at the same time as they’re being released. And that also includes reading the novel that barely got published in America just two weeks ago 😅
The novel Family Portrait is what it states it is— an intimate portrait of each key member of the Forger family (and Franky)! It consists of 4 episodic, appropriately titled as “missions” :
Mission 1: Anya and Damian
Mission 2: Anya and Yuri
Mission 3: Franky and Loid (my favorite)
Mission 4: Anya, Yor, and Loid
(and a bonus short story from an outsider’s perspective of our beloved Forgers) 💕
It’s nothing absolutely spectacular and, of course, doesn’t change the main canon in any way, but it’s nice to see some stories that let the audience get to know these beloved characters in a more intimate way!
One of favorite things in particular is that this novel shows Loid being a ✨soft ✨ husband and father. Of course, it’s still all for the mission (👀), but seeing him be a little sweeter just makes my little fangirly heart soar.
Not the way I planned to start off my 2024, but it still makes me happy ☺️
Rating: 4/5
There’s still a few things I want to post about 2023, so I’ll be playing catch up soon! Happy new year everyone!

If We Were Villains (2017)
Author: M.L. Rio
A book that got inadvertently recommended to me by Tumblr— and I see why 💀
Tumblr media
I just…I got so emotionally invested 😭
The story is about 7 students attending a Shakespeare conservatory in 1990s Illinois. They’re all in their last year and only a select few students make it all four years. The story is told from the point of view of one of the students, Oliver Marks. Things get heated between the group and one day, a tragedy strikes and things are never the same.
Ok, this is the best I can summarize without giving anything away. Like, this is a book that needs to be read with fresh eyes. Grow attached to the characters all on your own.
Do the students frequently talk in Shakespearean quotes? Absolutely. It’s like when kids talk in memes and references nowadays.
Is this review making any sense? I dunno. This book broke me y’all! This is definitely a book I’m keeping in my favorites list. I can see myself rereading this a year from now. It’s no wonder I started seeing this book in the The Song of Achilles tag. It’s absolutely right up my alley!
Why is it that I found it in a used book store?? I can’t imagine someone parting with it 🥺
I recommend this book so freaking hard!

The Ruins (2006)
Author: Scott Smith
Tumblr media
TikTok had hyped this book up to be absolutely frightening and scary. My horror-loving brother had the same sentiments, so I went into this thinking I was going to be scared out of my mind (because I am a baby when it comes to horror), but I came out fine lol.
The Ruins follows a group of 6 friends (a German, a Greek, and 2 pairs of American couples) while on vacation in Mexico. The German’s brother disappeared and his last known whereabouts were in an archeological area which is where the friends head off to. They are cornered by a group of Mayans who don’t allow them to go back once they have stepped too far into the ruins. What follows is their survival of what lives in the Mayan jungle.
It had a pretty slow start for me tbh. Along with this, the author definitely spends a lot of time describing things or mentioning things that don’t move the plot along. Giving a hand job and then describing said hand job’s bodily actions wasn’t that important imo.
It’s tragic and very genuinely frightening with its imagery, but there’s so many cis-white-male-isms that bring it down for me.
It is a very original piece of work, but some of it was not for me. I’m sure there’s many who would enjoy this though!

Books With Pictures: Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham (2000)
Writers: Mike Mignola and Richard Pace
Artist: Troy Nixey
So it got announced that this was going to get the animated movie treatment, so I dived in!
Tumblr media
Not my favorite story, but I can appreciate it for what it is!
Heavily influenced by H.P. Lovecraft, Bruce Wayne finds himself facing creatures of the most evil and supernatural kind.
This was honestly pretty freaky— especially towards the end 😳
The story is pretty interesting, but the art itself, while not horrible, kind of takes away from the story just because of how odd the people look sometimes. I guess it works for the setting, but kinda sucks when in the beginning theres 5 characters who are dressed exactly the same and it’s difficult to differentiate who is talking.
Wonder how this will look in animation!
Also— definitely not kid friendly. Don’t know how a child would process the weird imagery along with the nihilistic undertones.

They Both Die at the End (2017)
Author: Adam Silvera
I just keep picking books that break me 😭
Tumblr media
However, the title kinda implies that so that’s on me.
Back again! These teaching certification exams are no joke 😩 I managed to get this book in that I finished in under a week!
In “They Both Die at the End,” we follow the last day of Mateo and Rufus: two Hispanic teenagers who know they will die within the next 24 hours thanks to Death-Cast. Death-Cast is a service that notifies you around midnight that you’re going to die.
Mateo, reserved and anxious, and Rufus, rough and spontaneous, find themselves paired with each other as Last Friends™️ on End Day™️.
If you spend the whole time wishing that they’ll survive— just as I did— you’ll only be hurting yourself more lol. The shows the magic of how a relationship can blossom when you’re with the right person. Mateo and Rufus couldn’t be more different from one another, but that’s why they were right for each other at the end very end.

Books with Pictures: Batman: The Adventures Continue: Season One
Writers: Alan Burnett & Paul Dini
Artist: Ty Templeton
Tumblr media
BTAS is one of my all time favorite things and I was super excited about a comic continuation. But upon reading this first volume, I was frankly underwhelmed.
One of the main attractions for me was the introduction of Jason Todd to the BTAS universe, which I think should have been planned out a little more. It felt too forced to have him shoehorned as the second Robin when the animated series pretty much established Tim Drake as the second Robin with Jason Todd’s partial origin story.
Maybe just rework it with Jason as the third— or better yet, have this story set in the Batman Beyond setting.
Of course I’ll keep reading to see if Jason comes back in a later story.
The volume ends with a Christmas story featuring Batman and Robin featuring Joker and Scar Face (a severely underutilized villain!), which was pretty fun!
Now my own personal gripes: Nightwing is my favorite bat family member and he’s not in this volume at all 😢. Favoritism aside, I still think he should have been featured in the Red Hood and Deathstroke arc. Most especially with the Deathstroke story since he has a fascination with the protégés (plus his actual origins as a Teen Titans villain). To me, just felt like he was missing.
Not perfect, but I’m still going to move forward with the series and see where it goes.
