Whumptober Day 25: Humiliation

Hiya! ^^ Chapter 25 and only 6 more days to go!!! WE ARE DOING THIS!!! And would you believe that I wrote already over 50.000 words in this moth alone? NaNoWriMo who? I know only of @whumptober2019!

Please be aware that this chapter is disturbing since Teenagers are the Most Fucked Up People out there and that the comfort in this fic is hard earned!

Fandom: Batman, DC, Young Justice

Characters: Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, OCs

Warning: Public Humiliation, Assault, Non-Consensual Distribution of Sexual Media, Teenagers Being The Worst Teenagers Can Be, Bullying

Masterlist

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

(Read On AO3)

In a way one of the worst memories of his teenage years had nothing to do with crime fighting.

It had everything to do with teenagers being assholes and the power of shame. It had everything to do with Dick being 15 and a part of the mathletes.

It had everything to do with Dick having to stick his nose in everything, no matter if he wore the scaly pants or not.

The story began with Dick confronting a bully, Matthew Penthurst, about something he said to another mathlete. Nothing big or unusual but Dick had had enough.

Being a bit nerdy had never been a problem until Matthew transferred to Gotham Academy shortly before Christmas during sophomore year. And suddenly everyone made fun of them and even people Dick had been friends with, grinned or made dumb jokes when it came up.

He hated it. Nobody made fun of him being in the gymnastic team but everyone thought it funny to call him a virgin because he liked math and competition and wasn’t allowed to compete in gymnastics on a higher level than regionales because of his ‘secret identity’. It was unfair. And annoying. And Dick wouldn’t stand for that.

He didn’t even get the brunt of the bullying. No, Dick was popular by comparison. He was still Bruce Wayne’s ward after all. And funny. And conventionally attractive (if scrawny). No, the other kids had it so much worse.

Their cars got egged, they got name called, they got harassed. And the school administration did nothing because Matthew’s dad was a governor. A rich governor who paid for the new school library.

So, of course Dick had to take the matter in his own hands. He wasn’t a coward after all. He fought crime each night, he should be able to handle a schoolyard bully.

He wasn’t.

we all know how in The Lego Batman Movie Dick thought he had two dads, right?

what if the JL thought Batman was dating Billionaire Playboy Most Eligible Bachelor of Gotham City’s Bruce Wayne™, so they get how Batman isn’t around every time Bruce would make a public appearance somewhere.

Hal: It’s okay, Bats, we understand why you couldn’t attend the meeting

Bruce: You, what–

Barry: Oh yeah, of course, I’d get worried, too, if my hubby were Bruce Wayne, too

Bruce: What?

—

[After saving Bruce Wayne from a collapsing building]

Superman: So, uh, Mr. Wayne, I didn’t mean to sound rude, but does Batman remove his mask at home?

Bruce, at his peak dumbass and zero sleep in the last 36 hours: Yeah

Superman: Oh, um, really? What does he look like? Is he handsome, or–

Bruce, snorts: Of course he’s handsome!

—

Hal: HOW DOES LIVING WITH TEN KIDS FEEL LIKE?

Bruce: What?

hal: Like, you know, Bruce Wayne has like, five kids, right? and you have, how many Robin now?

bruce: wHA T?

—

Superman: So is it, Batman Wayne or Bruce Wayne-Man? Or is it Wayne-Bat?

Bruce: wHAT?

All the siblings from The Umbrella Academy (my latest obsession).

Finally finished this one! The style’s not terribly consistent because I’ve been working on it off and on for a month, but it’s been good practice.

My favorite thing about Diego is how ACTUALLY HEROIC he wants to be. Like, literally everyone else is off getting high or on the moon or trying to live normal lives and Diego thinks he’s Batman. He’s up in the police’s business and he’s solving crimes and being the only real superhero of that entire family. It’s so obvious in the fight against Hazel. Diego is doing all these sick moves and in any other story this would be some huge climax, but in the Hargreeves family it’s another fuckin day and god damn it we have to replace the table again thanks NUMBER TWO

#tua #diego hargreeves #this!#this is the reason he is one of my faves #and he does remind me of Nightwing #with all his useless backflips

+ he joined a circus + he had a turbulent romance with a clown (spoiler: It ended badly) + he was featured on a cooking show and won + he created a new drug and sold it + he became the head of a bookclub without ever reading any of the assigned books + he stabbed someone with a knitting needle multible times + he stole a car and took part in a street race (probably the reason he doesn't drive) + he lived in an abandoned mansion and is the reason everyone thinks it's haunted + he danced naked in a chocolate fountain at a fancy party + he slept with one (1) president

I find it hard to believe Klaus was doing nothing for all those years he was on the streets

He was left to his own devices for 5 minutes and robbed a corner store. He’s incapable of doing nothing

He probably went to law school

Actually graduated

He’s barred in 13 states

Joined a drug cartel

Or stole from a few drug rings

Joined a gang

Or spied on rival gang members in prison

Befriended a few homeless teens

Actually steered them away from harm

I could go on

“I feel like people often compare the abuse the different siblings have gone through, forgetting that the baseline is “Being bought by a man who doesn’t care for your physical or emotional wellbeing beyond how useful you are to him, and who will call you and your siblings by numbers, being monitored every hour of the day- including in your sleep- and being trained in combat since very early childhood with the explicit purpose of being sent into life-threatening situations”

#good #tua #preach #this is soooo important #no matter how the child had it in your eyes #it was still abused #and horribly so #dont forget that #please

An Umbrella Academy AU where Reginald’s ultimate goal was creating a family orchestra, pushing each of his children into playing multiple instruments from a very young age

And then there’s Vanya, who is shit at music and just runs around blowing things up with her incredible psychic powers

The Hargreeves Siblings Ranked From Most Likely To Be Arrested To Least Likely

1. Klaus: No surprise there. His records include possession of drugs, selling of drugs, loitering, prostitution, public indecency, public intoxication, resisting arrest, violence against an arresting officer, bribery, stealing, breaking and entering, ...

2. Diego: Though, few charges stick thanks to his relationship with Patch, Diego has seen his fair share of holding cells from the inside. There are at least a few dozen arrests for breaking and entering that never got solves ;)

3. Luther: His frame makes him a likely suspect - and his reluctance to help the police a perfect one. Even though, he has not committed even one of those alleges crimes, he has been arrested for quite a few.

4. Ben: While Ben was alive, he had a knack for dark alleys (because of the aesthetic) and pot (blame Klaus). He only got caught, like twice, and they let him go because he was a teenager - and part of the Umbrella Academy - but still, Ben did like the look of himself getting out of the back of a cop car.

5. Allison: Her rumoring skills made sure that she would not be one to be easily arrested but after she stopped using them one speeding ticket was all it took. She forgot the court date and was brought in (it was solved like two phone calls later, but still the press had a field day).

6. Vanya: There was never a reason for her to be arrested. Until Lenard. And then there were quite a few... but as they never happend? Who is to say.

7. Five: Did he commit the most crimes? Yes. Is he still the one who would never get arrested? Yes. Because they would have to caught him first. And that is almost impossible for a normal cop - heck, not even the Commission is capable of it.

Imagine you’re holding onto two glass bottles and they fall to the floor. What happens? They both break. But it’s how they break that’s important. Because, you see, while one crumples into a pile of glass, the other shatters into a jagged-edged weapon. You see, the exact same environment that forged older brother into a warrior crushed baby brother. People don’t all break the same….Just don’t.

—Tom Card, Burn Notice

I think of this quote a lot, while watching Umbrella Academy.

Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Five, Ben, Vanya—they’re all broken. The same environment that turned Klaus into an empathetic addict made Luther lost and stoic, wrapped up in love for a monster who will never love him back. The same environment that spoiled Allison and taught her she could have whatever she wanted made Vanya apologetic, depressed, and bitter.

None of them broke the same.

But they all broke.

It’s kinda funny that Jason views dick as the golden boy and the perfect robin when in actuality he was a feral and chaotic child who gave Bruce a heart attack every other week.

Jason: he was the best Robin I’ll never measure up

Dick as Robin: *laughs maniacally while hacking the school sound system so never gonna give you up plays instead of the bell sound*
