Injustice: Year Zero #8

"You will wake up tomorrow because I allowed it. And because she'd never forgive me if you didn't.

But you're not powerful.

You're a fucking joke."

#regardless of the issues Injustice has these panels (/chapters 7&8 them wise) will never not be perfection to me #also love that this scene can be taken out of context story wise and still fit with like most other versions of them #the ivy from the ''harley & ivy'' episode and the batman adventures chapter 12 (Harley's first appearance) #would absolutely do this word for word action for action #<3 #tw clown boy #poison ivy #pamela isley #harlivy #dc comics #harley quinn #harleen quinzel #tw abuse mention #AND HER CRACKING HIS FACE<3333333

When the door opens, a lot of thoughts rush through Tim's head at lightning speed. If any telepaths were near, he's sure his mind would have given them mental whiplash because he felt like he was going Mach 20 from what the fuck to a very natural oh my god Bruce is going to fuck this up and ending up at I know exactly what to do in about five seconds.

A haughty looking Prince watched them with a straight spine and a scowl on his lips as he stood- proudly, happily, next to Talia Al Ghul who looks just as royal and proud beside him.

"I thought you'd be taller, Father."

If anything was different- anything at all, he's sure this scenario would have gone wrong.

Had Tim been any less prepared then he was anyways.

Because Tim is not oblivious to the fact that as Bruce has already allowed three children into his life in the past- it would make sense that Bruce would follow the trend and collect more as time went on.

Tim is prepared. He lived alone for the first thirteen years of his life wishing for a younger sibling to watch over and he has made plans for every scenario that he could possibly conceive.

His plans got even more convoluted as he joined the Wayne family and he promised himself that his relationship with his successor would be the best in the family because he wants to win at being a big brother.

He has been training for this his entire life.

So when Bruce- oh poor emotionally constipated Bruce who deflects big emotions with anger -looks at Talia with fire in his eyes at what Tim is sure is a valid anger about having a very clearly his child hidden from him for a decade opens his mouth, Tim does the smart thing and slaps his hand over Bruce's mouth without any hesitation or care.

Talia lifts an eyebrow in amusement as the young Prince's eyes widen fractionally in surprise.

Bruce goes back to being a still life painting in real life as he looks at him intently.

Tim does not care and looks at him sweetly in a way he knows that Bruce knows means that he'll tranq him if he doesn't think about his words.

Batman was very out of it when Tim became Robin.

Tim read a parenting book and decided boundaries were very important in a caretaker situation.

(Yes, Tim considers himself the caretaker in this situation. He thinks it's funny.)

(Bruce did not find it funny after being tranqed for the fifth time, but he could never find all the tranqs.)

"Bruce. Isn't it so wonderful that Talia has created such a gift to the world? It's almost like welcoming a child with love is a much higher priority than whatever you were about to say."

Bruce's left hand twitches in such a subtle way that allows Tim, who knows his partner very well from the past few years, to know that Bruce was surprised.

Tim nods acceptingly before giving Bruce his ability to speak back, and smiling at their guests nicely and genuinely.

Nodding his head to each in greeting, "Ms. Talia, Prince. Please come in for some tea."

He pretends not to notice the barely there shuffle of the Prince's right foot wanting to hide behind his mother, nor does he linger on the vaguest tightening of Talia's hand on her son's shoulder as she glances around them casually.

She smiles at him, politely sharp. She actually reminds Tim of his own mother- weilding the twitch of her lips like it could cut deeper than any hidden dagger.

"That sounds lovely."

ok now that i caught up on a few asks (ill be back later!!) i got an awful awful omegaverse detail to share. i really like the omegaverse au rezero takes on here, yall have such interesting ideas. but okay i got one—

otto should be an alpha.

OKAY now hear me out for a second. i 1000% agree that otto being a beta makes absolute perfect sense. even though his personality is kinda loud sometimes, hes usually just kinda There. you know? hes always in the support role and he usually doesnt draw attention to himself. always stuck in the background and in the shadows 👍 he also wants a nice comfortable life. hes wanted to fit in throughout childhood. he takes care not to make others hate him (unless hes being impulsive/reckless). etc etc.

he knows that he fits the beta role to a T. thats why if he was anything BUT a beta, he’d be pretending to BE a beta.

this is because otto being an alpha exacerbates all the issues he develops by the time you get to arc 8. because otto is THE worst person to be an alpha. he doesnt fit the stereotype and the usual alpha at all. hes not very powerful. hes easy to make fun of and humiliate. hes not very dominant either. he tries to say all sorts of stuff in arc 8 and assert his place there and more than half the time he gets shrugged off because hes being dumb and no ones gonna do some of the shit he says. hes got a gazillion different complexes now about being useless and about being Secondary and he gets desperate so hes like “well i can walk in darkness though. im useful!! i swear!! this is what i can do!! everyone else is wrong!!”

so of course otto would pretend hes not an alpha because he is The complete opposite of what the “perfect” alpha should be. as hes growing up he would be like judged for that sort of thing, you know? and then he’d decide its more convenient to go on blockers or whatever and pretend to be a beta because betas are Normal. betas dont get noticed that much. not much is expected of you besides being the Support, right? depending on how you wanna interpret omegaverse politics wkdnd. and ottos like oh yeah. i wanna be seen as normal. and if i cant be a good alpha, if i cant be what an alpha should be, im gonna be a good alpha via playing the support role!! and theyll all know im dependable and useful and theyll need me and i can revel in the fact that they dont know im an alpha!! but im outplaying them!! i got them to need me!! my tactics have made ME the secret alpha controlling everything!! this is perfect!! im a good alpha!! i came out on top still!!! this is great!!

and then arc 8 comes along and it ruins everything and otto is back to being the absolute worst alpha of all time that everyone thinks is a beta anyway because hes 1. made this a self-fulfilling prophecy and 2. literally no one is gonna look at him and think “oh hes alpha material” after all this time. and after all his arc 8 shittery.

yeah so anyway then otto explodes with rage because his stupid alpha ass is like oughhhh ohhhhh ouhhhh my god im not in control anymore im not dependable anymore im not a good support anymore!!!!! no one takes me seriously!!!!! ill show them!!! ill show them all!!

also he probably thought of subaru as. as his omega. and subaru wouldnt even know because after all my good buddy pal otto is a beta 👍

#this is my first official omegaverse post. now you all can see it #rezero #re:zero #otto suwen #arc 8 spoilers #i dont often read omegaverse fic wkfnd but u can take an omegaverse rezero au in a lot of different directions yeah #real interesting #so basically what i mean is otto would be frothing with rage over perfect alphas. he’d be alphaphobic #alpha and alphaphobic wkfndnd #i do think he’d be homophobic but in a weird way but thats a story for another time and i wrote many many words of fic for that

Maybe, just maybe, things are finally turning around.

#8 word story #poetry?

[kingkatsuki]

It honestly blows my mind how cheap writing fanfiction commissions are compared to art. Writers undersell themselves so much, and yet they still struggle to convince people to pay for a bespoke piece.

#and I assume AI will only continue to make it worse #like $8 per 1k words is INSANELY cheap??? #for a fully fledged story

[awritingcaitlin]

Question, because I'm curious:

What age were you when you first started seriously writing?

#personally i was like 8 or 9 #but apparently i've been telling stories since the time i could string words together

“8/4/02.  (2002)

In  a dream two nights ago, a young man is reading something I wrote (from) some kind of a journal or a book. He asks me how I write? I tell him that I don’t write. I’m just integrating via written word. He insists that I do write. I’m a bit scared and hurt that he is reading my private self stuff.

End of entry

Notes:

3/16/2024

This almost 22 year old dream is somewhat prophetic. I think that the young man in the dream may be my blog readers of today. I love the line from the dream that I don't write, I'm just integrating via the written word. That catches the feel I have when writing. That's exactly what I'm trying to accomplish when I write, integration of thought and experience into insight and observation on the page. Oh, and , I some times do feel a little scared and hurt that people are reading my private self stuff. But, I'ts important for me to get it out there. It's kind of part of our common story.

Asoiaf tumblr is turning me into a Rhaegar's stan. I get it that he’s not perfect, but saying "all the characters who have a positive opinion on rhaegar are obviously biased, they didn't know him" is a very delusional take :/

It's getting stupid.

This is where I'm at. Disliking a character is fine, but the way people rewrite the story + characters to justify their hate is beyond annoying. And what's crazier is that their hate for him extends to characters connected to him so Dany, Jon, Lyanna, etc. end up being demonized as well. The fact that they can't just say "I hate Rhaegar" and move on is crazy, he's really living in their heads rent-free 😭

#ask #anon #rhaegar targaryen #Rhaegar antis are so robert baratheon coded (derogatory) #me personally I would be embarrassed if I agreed with that man but that's just me 🤷🏾‍♀️ #they hate Rhaegar but every other word out of their mouths is about him...sounds like fan behavior #Rhaegar + Lyanna being the IT couple that haunts the narrative and the minds of haters they really ate that #Me as a show!only becoming a Dany stan after season 8 🤝 me becoming a Rhaegar defender cause people are annoying about him #🤝 me becoming a Rhaenyra defender cause people are being misogynistic towards her #number 1 fandom pet peeve is seeing the story + characters being misinterpreted and this is the worst fandom for it 💀

In Stranger, I think Brian’s voice getting harder to hear with the other voices is meaningful.

I interpret those voices to be other people finding out and disparaging him. I think where Brian (Tsuru) is from robots are lower class and the idea that a robot would marry a human is absurd, but marrying one while lying about your identity is dastardly. But now he is on a different planet and here they do not have sentient robots. Keeping it a secret is to protect his husband so he can be as innocent as possible should they be found out and prosecuted (he’s still thinking in terms of where he used to live). A monster is semi-literal because the husband has not seen an android before and he is astonished. But people fear what they don’t know, and he becomes angry at Brian (Tsuru) for lying.

As more voices are added more people are finding out about what he did, yet failing to actually listen to him. His husband doesn’t even listen.

I don’t think the husband went and told everyone, but that he was mad and either someone found out by spying or he told one person and that person spread it and those people spread it, etc.

#the mechanisms #gunpowder tim #drumbot brian #strangers #tsuru #i *really* like this song #so much story is told in not that many words #i have a lot of thoughts on this one #please let me know if you would like more #for terminology i typically say ‘brian’ and ‘his husband’ because names aren’t given #i know thevoidsings labels brian’s part in this as ‘tsuru’ which makes sense to me #but i picture brian in the story #and i like saying ‘his husband’ even if it is a tragic #ttbt2 #I don’t think it can be brian but i guess they are immortal so maybe he fucked of and got into some unideal corcumstances #edit: it is 8 months later and i now think it is brian.
