song 4 of dr3′s c!dream playlist (found here) - c!dream and c!wilbur’s first meeting on the smp !! this is the last pre-war ficlet ,, the next ones coming are set during the war, after, and then they get Really Sad :’) for now, enjoy some chill humour with ominous foreshadowing if you choose to look for it :D

warnings: none!

GLAD YOU CAME - THE WANTED

“Wilbur!” Dream greets cheerfully, eyes merry. “It’s good to see you again!”

“It’s good to see you too,” Wilbur says, dark eyes sweeping over the SMP with some amazement, “I have to say, I’m impressed with what you’ve done with the place. Last time I was here, things weren’t half as....”

“Organised?” Dream offers good-naturedly, when Wilbur trails off.

Wilbur snorts. “I was gonna say homely. Things are… homely now. You’ve made a little home for people.”

“WILBUR!”

Wilbur turns towards him. “Tell me TommyInnit doesn’t live here,” he demands, and Dream laughs at the dawning horror in the older’s face, “please tell me that wasn’t him that I heard.”

Dream smiles wryly. “No can do, sorry,” is all he manages to get out, before Tommy is throwing himself at Wilbur with a whoop, soon followed by Tubbo, and Fundy for good measure, “you didn’t tell me you two knew each other.”

Wilbur extracts himself from Tommy’s grip, fussing over him with a scowl, but there’s fond amusement in his eyes, glittering and relieved at the sight of the kid. “Yes, we know each other,” he sighs, rather dramatically, “he’s been the bane of my existence since we met two years ago. I’ve yet to recover.”

“You are such a bitch,” Tommy says, delighted, “you didn’t even tell me you’d be here.”

“You’re not my mother, what, am I supposed to tell you what time I’ll be home for dinner too?”

“You make me want to kill you, I’m literally gonna murder you in your sleep and it’s your fault-”

“I found Tommy on the side of the road a while back,” Wilbur explains, long suffering, “and then I found Tubbo in the exact same place a year later. They’re sort of family at this point, in an annoying child way.”

Tubbo, looking affronted, crosses his arms. “I’ve been perfectly behaved!”

“Last time I saw you, you’d set fire to Tommy’s hair for an experiment,” Wilbur reminds him, “you’re only well behaved next to Tommy. Which isn’t saying much, considering he’s the spawn of Satan.”

“Hi Dad,” Fundy interrupts, looking mildly weary, “how’s things?”

Silence. Dream swivels to face Wilbur, eyes widening. “...Dad?” He asks, stunned. “I didn’t know you had a kid.”

Wilbur looks mildly guilty, pulling Fundy into a hug, tight and safe. “It’s been a while,” he says, regretfully, “I’ve been travelling a lot. I thought you were staying with Phil?”

Fundy shrugs. “I was,” he agrees, “but then I got bored and wanted to travel, so here I am.”

Dream has to reassess some things in his mind. The SMP is a lot of things, but a place for family reuniting is a surprise to him. “Well, now you’re both here,” he says at length, still stunned by the revelation, “are you staying for a while, Wilbur? There’s plenty of space for you, if you want to settle down for a while.”

Wilbur, still in the midst of hugging his son, looks around the SMP, an unfathomable look on his face for a minute. He’s always been hard to read for Dream, harder than most, but before Dream can push further, Wilbur’s expression breaks out into a smile.

“Are you sure that would be alright?” He asks. “I wouldn’t want to intrude. You’ve got quite the kingdom running here, Dream.”

At the time, Dream doesn’t react to the kingdom mention - his brow furrows slightly, but he shakes his head with a scoff, crossing his arms. “Come on, would I have asked you if I wasn’t sure? It’s open for everyone, I promise. We’ll be happy to have you.”

Maybe Wilbur will be able to keep Tommy in line more - Dream thinks in exasperation to Tommy’s recent behaviour, that grows more troublesome with each day that passes. He likes the kid, a lot, thinks of him as a brother, but Tommy clearly respects Wilbur more. Maybe between the two of them, Tommy will settle down a little, stop constantly destroying property. He can only hope so.

For now, though, he watches Wilbur weigh up his options before grinning, clasping his hand in a warm, firm handshake, and thinks that his little family has expanded by one more.

“I guess it can’t hurt,” Wilbur says with a laugh, “maybe I’ll make something of myself here. I’ll at least stay for a couple of months.”

Dream beams when Tommy whoops and Fundy cheers, and Tubbo claps his hands in delight.

“Welcome to the Dream SMP,” he says, “don’t be surprised to find Tommy griefing your house as soon as it’s built. He has a tendency to break the rules I set.”

Wilbur ruffles Tommy’s hair in amusement. “Trying to overthrow the king?” He teases, and Tommy puffs his chest out.

“I just like to remind everyone how shit their builds are,” he says, and Tubbo snickers.

“Don’t you talk. Your builds are cobblestone and much worse.”

“My house is dirt, actually, dickhead!” Tommy defends with a scowl.

Dream and Wilbur share an eyeroll, before Wilbur is dragged off by Fundy on a grand tour. Dream watches him go, a fond feeling in his chest. He’s glad Wilbur’s here. He’s glad they’re all here.

The SMP has never felt more like home.

idea! wjat if, in the dadschlatt au, schhlatt gave baby tommy a lil bracelet with some kind of meaningful symbol on a charm that hes kept all this time. and its a necklace or keychain now and it respawns with him instead of dropping (like yk how you can give ur mc skins simple necklaces/bracelets) -bee (plz ignore my spelling. tumblr mobile isnt letting me correct it without retyping the whole gotdam ask)

Tumblr mobile is the bane of my existence as well don’t worry jfakleawi

BUT AAA I really like that idea. Just a little bracelet that Tommy never takes off, always fiddles with it when he’s upset or anxious and just. Wonders all the time where he got it from since he had woken up and is still trying to figure it out.

Also idea: When Tommy figures out Schlatt gave it to him, he takes it off and throws it out of rage in finding out his real dad, but later comes to regret it c: (don’t worry though probably Schlatt picks it up in the meantime I just be thinkin bro)

#dadschlatt tommy au #so many aus to keep track of aAAAAAAA #brainrot real huh #Anonymous

Maybe some headcanons about if Finn Shelby had a twin sister? ur work is awesome btw!!

thank you!!!!

so lets just start with

c h a o s

literally the bane of everyones existence

in a good way

but omg can they stop

literally make mischief out of everything

‘why cant we do anything badass!?”

they do it anyway

honestly giving arthur a heart attack

shared room that they conSTANTly sneak out of

‘are you up?’ ‘yeah why’ ‘lets go scare john’

they will just go to johns house in the middle of the night and one wil stand on the others shoulders to look in the window, and then tap really lightly until john wakes up and dies of fear

hes not happy the next day

*cough* both gay *cough*

if someone picks on one of the twins the other attacks

tommy had to sit them down when they were like 12 to tell them to stop assaulting people

he cant blame them though lmao

shared trauma

always covering each others back

‘finn stop doing snow’ ‘you cant tell me what to do!’

she flushed it down the toilet

isiah either dilutes the chaos or adds to it, depends on the day

definitely polly’s favorites

ada will die to protect them

‘YOU ARE BOTH IDIOTS GET INSIDE’

she is definitely the most mother like figure they’ve had

when finn gets the artillery square flat obviously she goes with him

the neighbors h a t e them

they talk about running away all the time

whenever they’re free they go down to charlie’s yard and ride the horses to the countryside

at tommy’s wedding she definitely helped finn take the petrol out of the cavalrys cars kdfgjkl

and she may have slashed a tire or two

when one is sad the other grabs an old quilt of their mother’s and cocoons them both

isiah, bonnie, michael, and the twins are the new generation of dumbasses

neither are morning people

finn is 30 seconds older (yeah that was a quick one)

and you bet your ass he will never let that go

“oh are you twins–” “IM OLDER”

she calls him finny, fifi, fofo, finnnnnnnn, idiot head, ugly, squash boy (long story)

“thats my hat give it back” “no stupid, its mine!”

their hats are identical

when one does something dangerous the other, knowing there is no hope at stopping them, goes along to keep them safe

they gave each other tattoos of the other’s first initial

whatever the horrible world throws at them, they’re in it together

☾ ✧ ☾ ✩ ☾ ✧ ☾ ✩ ☾

character study » bruce wayne / batman

** This really is a very very very long post. But it’s thorough, going from 1940 to 2018...you can reblog or bookmark if this serves as any point of reference. I feel like I just wrote a whole dissertation on my OTP.

As unfortunate as it sounds, Catwoman would not exist without Batman. The story of the Bat & the Cat is a tale as old as time, starting with the very first issue of Batman back in 1940. Their relationship is characterized as volatile and passionate, full of thrill-seeking, competition, and regret. But with the culmination of a 78-year old relationship coming on July 4th, I thought it’d be a good time to talk about what role Bruce Wayne and Batman play for Selina Kyle and Catwoman. I’ll include some notes about my own interpretation and my own ideas, but this is all source material, 99% from the comics.

Back in Batman #1, we are introduced to three distinct villains: Hugo Strange, the Joker, and Catwoman. Catwoman is naturally nothing like the other two, posing a much less considerable threat to Batman than they do. He catches her on a boat (which begins Bruce’s adamant stance that they first met on a boat) disguised as an elderly woman trying to steal a $500,000 diamond necklace.

He should’ve been able to turn her in, but alas, in Batman fashion, he does not try very hard -- saying something about ‘lovely eyes’ before watching her speed away on a boat, totally smitten. Typical. So the Catwoman appeared in several comics during the 1940s, used to add a layer of sex appeal to the Batman comics.

Then some bullshit called the Comics Code Authority effectively banned Catwoman from the comics from 1954 to 1966, citing a violation of the rules of female characters, seduction, and illicit sex relations in comic books. I’m glad that thing is not in use anymore.

So during this time, how were the writers going to appeal to their female readers who “were only interested in romance”? They brought in Kate Kane, Batwoman 1 (but not his cousin but his aunt-by-marriage ?) and married her to Batman.

Needless to say this was a big flop. They ended up scrapping it and calling it one of “Dick’s Dreams”. The larger effect this had on Batman lore was that it ultimately poised Batman to be a solitary figure without room for a serious or committed relationship.

Surprisingly, though, Bruce Wayne does get involved, quite seriously, with Selina Kyle (knowing she is Catwoman, in an attempt to -- you guessed it -- rehabilitate her) to the point where she falls in love with him and decides to leave Batman. But, unsurprisingly, this relationship does not last very long.

The Silver and Bronze Age (c. 1956-1985) of DC Comics, like most other periods in DC Comics, was an unstable and ever-changing period with re-prioritizations and re-imaginings. This meant that, naturally, Bruce and Selina’s relationship would be difficult to pin down, therefore starting a legacy of the “on-again, off-again” dynamic.

Throughout this period, though she sometimes helped him, Selina continued to act like a criminal, and was portrayed as increasingly obsessed with the Bat and having the goal of marrying him. Batman, on the other hand, was preoccupied with “rehabilitating” her -- whatever that really means, you sly fox.

That last one was a dream, but what a guest list, amirite??

But the Bat, according to the writers, isn’t really the marrying type. Not on Prime Earth, anyway. So, to salvage their female readership, the Batman team introduces Earth-Two, where Bruce and Selina marry and have Helena. It can’t go without angst, though, and naturally Selina dies young at the hands of a blackmailer, causing their daughter to become the Huntress.

Now, here’s where the Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985) resets everything. This is going to happen more than once, so buckle up. So now we go to Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One, where Selina Kyle is introduced as a ?? dominatrix-esque prostitute ?? who just casually decided to put on the Catsuit. (As you might tell, I am not a fan.)

This is where Selina’s version of how they met, “on the street”, comes about. Bruce is disguised as Matches Malone, doing his thing in the East End, when he gets involved in a scuffle with Stan, the Pimp, and accidentally whacks Holly. Selina, watching from her apartment, jumps in. Literally. And the two get into a nice little fight.

It’s during this period where Selina is more involved with serving her own brand of justice, which I am a fan of. Now, from 1985 to 2002, nothing particularly notable happens for the Bat and the Cat. What I mean is, Selina skirts on the fence between crime and justice, Batman stops her, sometimes imprisons her, and tries to change her.

Some things to note, though, during this period, Batman’s genuine belief in how good a person Selina really is starts to really shine through. It’s around this time that Selina’s pre-Crisis infatuation for the Bat melts away to genuine love. A sort of friendship built around familiarity and understanding begins to blossom between them, too, so even when they were “off” they still cared for one another. And naturally, sexual tension was always there.

They do their game of cat-and-mouse for almost two decades before Hush comes around. And Hush changes everything! I could do a character study on the Hush arc alone, but i’ll try to truncate it as much as possible.

So we start out with he same old cat-and-mouse game, where Batman doesn’t turn Catwoman in, and Bruce dates Selina in real life because she’s one of the few people he actually cares for, both in and out of suit. His feelings for Selina become a liability as he’s constantly having to choose between saving her and staying with the mission. Selina, on the other hand, is not a fan of losing the bad guy.

And this is the first time we really have a post-Crisis Bat admitting his feelings for Selina, especially after Talia beat her to a pulp. (Mind you, these are two different scenes.) The biggest thing to happen in Hush, though, aside from Batman and Catwoman “finally” kissing--

which is that kiss ! (the very one that got made into a collector’s figurine, sigh)

where he realizes how truly lonely he is :’( and he can’t stop thinking about it for the rest of the mission :’)

-- is that Bruce reveals his identity to Selina, which was the ultimate testament of his trust for her. And this changes everything hereafter, because now Selina knows he’s Bruce Wayne.

Anyway, Selina isn’t about to just jump in and be Bruce’s love interest because everything with Bruce and Selina is complicated and never easy and they can never be happy apparently. So they fight at the end of Hush and Bruce, naturally, overanalyzes their relationship so, basically, they break up (until he’s ready). Nice.

But it’s not over yet! Tommy Elliot, aka Hush, realizes throughout this whole thing how truly important Selina is to Bruce. So, naturally, he targets her and steals her heart! Not in a fun, rom-com sort of way. He literally steals her beating heart to mess with Bruce. Talk about fucked up.

... quite literally. But, fortunately for us readers, it leads us to the biggest ?? confession of love from Batman. Y’all can cry with me as I did when I read this.

Bitch ! I cry every time. Ok, so moving on from Hush.

We already talked about Helena, but it should be worth noting that Bruce, though often busy, played as much an active role as he could in giving Selina help. And this, naturally, added another layer of trust and love in their relationship.

Alright, so for the next nine years, Bruce and Selina share plenty of sweet moments outside of the cowl, usually beneath the pretense that they aren’t their nocturnal personas and that they can be normal for once.

Selina’s always wanting to leave Gotham and leave behind her life as Catwoman, but Bruce is the one thing that really keeps her there so, naturally, she’s always trying to get him to leave it with her.

(But we all know that’s a pipe dream.)

And as an add-on to that same “let’s pretend we’re not Bat and Cat” trope, here’s one of the sweetest scenes in BatCat history, from Catwoman v3 #32:

And during their date, Selina tells him she doesn’t remember ever hearing him laugh like that. And he says:

That’s not to say their sweet moments are limited to being de-cowled. There are several times where Selina has pushed Bruce to try to be in touch with his human side, to be vulnerable, to feel. Because he’s the type to lock himself up in the Bat-Persona and forget who Bruce really is.

All is fine and dandy in the world of the Bat and the Cat, until the New 52 reboot comes about. Then, like most things in the New 52, it all went to shit. Batman and Catwoman’s relationship lost the element of trust that Hush had instilled with Bruce revealing his identity. Selina was depicted as more neurotic than she actually is and without the depth of emotion she felt for Batman/Bruce.

I still think it’s worth mentioning because ?? it changed so much for them in the most recent depictions. And y’all should be aware of everything, even the bad.

It was a hyper sexualized arc that I personally did not enjoy. I don’t think anyone really enjoyed anything from the New 52 but hey.

Like ?? Really? Anyway, this is why we don’t recognize that. Don’t even talk about it.

So. Moving on to Rebirth. I won’t go too in-depth here because it’s the most current thing and I’m sure most of y’all are aware of what’s happening, but I will include some key panels.

In short: Catwoman is accused of killing 237 terrorists who blow her old orphanage. Batman knows she’s innocent, but can’t prove it, so he takes her in. He then needs her help to beat Bane, and he also wants to work out her case to prove her innocence, so he breaks her out of death row and employs her help. She helps him, everything works out. Then, Gotham Girl (a new superhero) starts talking to him about what he wants/needs and he realizes how lonely he really is and what it is that he’s lacking.

Naturally, some several issues later, she says yes and the BatCat wedding is set to July 4th.

Another great thing that Tom King did was really encapsulate how well Selina understands Bruce. (Though I’m not a fan of the whole women-fighting-over-a-man thing, I think this was used to convey how Selina knows him best? But that’s just my interpretation.)

A whole bunch of stuff happens and will happen from now till then, but this is where we are now. My two babies, getting some sort of closure after almost 80 years. And I really do hope it works out, because their Earth-Two counterparts seem really happy:

(Though I still don’t know how they ended up in that position ^ )

And, of course, I couldn’t go without mentioning the Bat and the Cat in their final years.

In conclusion: Throughout the past eighty years, the reboots, and the relaunches, the one thing that has remained constant has been their interconnectedness. Whether on opposite sides of the law or on the same team -- the similarities of their desires and fears, their common pain and their inescapable trauma, kept them coming back to one another. Bruce likes to think that he and Selina are very different (and to some degree, they are) but they’re both “creatures of the night” who aren’t entirely on the legal side of things. They get one another. They need one another. Selina brings out a part of his humanity; she gives him love, life, and laughter. Bruce, in turn, puts faith in her character that Selina has never had for herself. He makes her believe that she’s more than where she came from and she’s more than what she’s done.

For Selina, Bruce will always be her one true love, whether she’s with him or not. For Bruce, I’d like to think, like Tommy said, that Selina was the only one to truly hold his heart (but I’m very biased hehe). In my eyes, they’ll always be friends, if not lovers, due to their shared history, their experiences, and all that they have sacrificed.

#this took me....so many...... hours #if only i put as much effort into my school work as i did with this LOL #tbh i feel like i didn't add enough nuance #but there's sO MUCH SOURCE MATERIAL #i picked the most important/salient panels #this is the longest thing i've ever written #and i didn't get to talk about injustice at all #smh #or the playboy and the socialite dynamic #damn #( from the first kiss to the last (xx. batcat) )#「 CH. STUDY 」she’s got nine lives (she’s gonna need all of them).
