The Executioner - Chapter 1 - Chemical_Processes, GalaxyThreads - DCU [Archive of Our Own]

Anyone who hasn't started this fic yet now is a great time to do so. We're at a really good point (not completed).

Funny thing is I think hey 14-15 year olds are not so young. Especially Damian who's always written to be older than his age. Then my baby sister turns 14. And

14 YEAR OLDS ARE BABIES.

Anyways @chemical-processes @galaxythreads outdid themselves here and if you're looking for top tier Damian and fam angst to distract you from your own angsty life look no further.

Living and breathing this fic rn

Its called the Executioner with basically kidnapping n torture of our favourite boy :(

Makes me nostalgic for when I was similarly obsessed with @fidothefinch 's Unauthorised Understudy.

Drop your long Damian Wayne angst fics please I've read everything I could get my hands on

There are some characters where giving them therapy and cleaning them up is the fanfiction equivalent of buying antique furniture and painting it white

A popular Batfam fanon trope that I secretly dislike is Jason meets Damian in the LoA n they have such a close/ parental bond uwu i mean ffs

They always negate every canon relationship n bond that Damian has cultivated with his family n friends n pretend oh its Jason! Nobody gets him like Jason!

I doubt they would let them meet in the first place cuz by logic Jason would've been a bad example with his outside world morals n behaviour.

And even if they did meet Jason wasn't that much older or mature enough to care for him.

I like Jason n Tim's normal siblings interaction with Damian in canon they have a good enough rapport.

I say secretly cuz I do read ff where they met in the league but where it doesn't affect the bonds Damian made with the others.

No what we need is the option to take back the kudos. Sometimes they're problematic n shitty n we don't realise it from the 1st chapter.

'ao3 needs a like and dislike button'

what you need, my algorithm-rotten minded friend, is a grip

i think what bothers me about a lot of "girl power" narratives is that they function on the implicit idea on the idea that women can become worthy of respect. and i happen to think that really caring about women means believing they already are worthy of respect. that historical seamstresses and soccer moms and forgotten sisters and sweet polite little girls and someone's weird grandma matter just as much as the warriors and politicians, even if they, personally, never accomplish anything "cool."

Being a Damian Wayne fan n looking for fanfics means scrolling through endless

Danny Phantom fics?? Wtf

Marinette the ladybug girl (not sm now that Danny has replaced her lol)

Aged up Damian Wayne fics

Damijon

Batkids age reversal fics.

I'm positive this doesn't happen with other Robins. If you don't like regular as is Damian Wayne you probably don't like him at all. He's used as some weird y/n replacement for them. Or as spring boarder for their actual fav (Tim, Dick, Danny Phantom??)

Yes. Yes it can.

Do you like the official wayne family adventures? It has everything any batfam fan would want.....But sometimes I feel like they all kinda have the same personality.....shouldn't dick be with titans or starfire....why is he back with Bruce?

EDIT: REMINDER THIS IS MY OPINION. IT IS NOT A DISCUSSION OR ARGUMENT.

It’s what tumblr fanon fans who actively go out of their way to shit on comics wants. To be precise. I’ve been shitting on the behavior of some truly awful people on here for like several years so if anyone reading this is surprised and offended. I don’t care.

No I really don’t like it. The better personalities are the girls really. But even then it’s not great. The boys and Bruce especially are full copy and paste. But honestly that’s the only way they can get what they want to work without digging too deep

That’s kinda the main problem I have with it and many others who do that it’s very surface level fluff rather than actually challenging the “angst” in the comics. I’m only putting it in quotes because to some angst is when it isn’t sunshine and rainbows all the time.

I don’t think it has a good argument, for lack of a better word (still works I just want a different one that I can’t remember rn) for being what it is. And also creating that weirdly rancid, occasionally violent and pretentious fanbase that accuses comic fans of doing that no matter what they say or do. Like some people suck but you dont need essays when people point out flaws in WFA. Of which it has some pretty obvious ones. Aside from batfam characterization their Talia characterization just rubs me the wrong way. Like I know it’s been worse but it’s just not giving what it should.

I think dickbabs is supposed to be canon there or at least people act like it. Idk a lot of their reactions can still read platonic which is why WFA readers try to say it’s batcest. If that answers your starfire question. Technically this should be set at a time where dick wasn’t fully friends with the titans again. Although it’s an au, they could probably just fix that for their obscenely happy go lucky attitude

But if you’re asking why starfire and Roy should be far away from the outlaws title, you’d be right. You can call me dramatic but it was lowkey shitty of them to include them considering the damage it did to their characters. Especially Kory.

Yeah dick should be actually independent. But again it’s family fluff over solid characterization so the umbilical cord isn’t cut yet

It’s negatively effecting comics too. Pushing that coffee Tim bullshit, “feral” Damian, and emotional support dick. The Damian one pisses me off most of all because they really had him pull a knife in a formal affair out of annoyance when that boy was raised an AL GHUL until he went to Bruce. Like if he’s drawing a knife it’s for a formalized duel. Not on an unwitting old woman. But even then I’m not sure I’m forgiving.

Oh and DUKE. Duke gets his own paragraph. Jesus fucking Christ did they do him dirty. Absolute boring cardboard cut out of a child. That also gets mildly sidelined for a comic that began with his narration. I get it’s a group thing but like why did some chapters seem to forget about him completely when they stripped him of every ounce of personality to turn him into a reader insert? God I hate it

There’s a lot of problems with it but apparently when you talk about it you’re in for a “let people enjoy things” lecture from someone who doesn’t actually let people enjoy things. I mean some WFA stans cry webtoon if you talk about the slightest amount of negativity. Claiming they need to be healed. Idk with what because WFA is basically a placebo of a comic

[tiredlayla]

I know I said I’d get to the ask submission but I lied sorry…SOOOO here are some more Damian and parents plus others as drawn from big cat photos 💕💕💕 I had to give Jon those slippers idk why but yes he totally went on patrol with them.

I think I’ll do some redraws of panels again sometime soon or a second wing au what do y’all think I should do?
