There’s something so ahfjdvhd about rh!Tim being so so gentle with his replacement. It’s the difference in their priorities, in their expression of anger. Reverse robins is also the reversal of Bruce. From Tim’s perspective, B did learn. Jason rarely goes out alone. He is kept safe. Tim doesn’t need to be as angry as rh!Jason. Doesn’t need to prove a point. So he’s gentle
y e s
you get it nonny
okay. sorry nonny, but i just. reverse robins is a Thing for me & i have so many thoughts so ->
that’s one of my favorite things to play with. like—obviously for us the escalation of comic book darkness has to do with real world trends BUT. imo. it’s so fascinating to take that & apply that to reverse robins
so you have bruce starting out a lot more emotionally unavailable & harsh until tim’s death is the catalyst for him to—change. especially once he gets jason. which, i played with a different jason origin in script: flipped, but in the fic i just wrote, i think it still would have been the tires.
but. yeah. so bruce has learned to be better, though he’s still definitely not perfect. and there’s a part of tim (and damian) that resents that, BUT, at the same time, he always interpreted his relationship with bruce as more like co-workers. he wasn’t looking for emotional availability from bruce, never expected it in the first place, so. the resentment is fairly small. bruce changed—he learned his lesson, & tim is happy with that because. i mean. isn’t that what he set out to do? fix bruce? so as far as he’s concerned his time as robin served it’s purpose.
and then the anger!!! yes. bc to jason bruce was a FATHER. he expected something totally different—he wanted proof that bruce loved him. and instead… bruce boxed him away, like he never existed. he focuses on the joker still being alive bc i think it’s easier for him to take bruce to task about joker still being out there, hurting other people; but that’s just one issue among a hundred.
tim meanwhile. didn’t expect that at all. like, he figured his death would be mourned, but. he wasn’t bruce’s son; he’s not going to break his rigid moral code for tim.
now he is upset that like… arkham doesn’t seem to have improved at all, and they’re still letting another child go out BUT. jason didn’t patrol much outside of weekends in his original run (iirc) & i kept that bc, i mean. it works with the sliding scale of improvement??? & as far as i know he wasn’t involved in any major crises, so. yeah. he got a little sheltered!
so tim is just like. sigh. yeah. that’s about as much improvement as i would have expected from bruce.
and then he goes and handles things himself~ by which i mean he didn’t bother with a dramatic showdown with bruce; he just killed joker. and THEN set himself back up in gotham. bc that’s his city too dammit, & if it needs something a little worse than batman to make sure it’s safe, then. well. tim will do it~
ANYWAY.
i’m going to stop here bc. i have rambled long enough. thank you for the lovely comment nonny <3333

Taking Notice?
Taking notice is a Sky and Legend centric fic I'm working on with @uniquevoidflowers, we write them chapters at a time and it's my turn to do the next one, so it's in there lmao.

hi space!! Please, tell me about your new characters! I wanna hear all about them!

hi morri!
oh lord. well. @lawful-evil-novelist and I were crafting OC's for War of the Spider Queen, and what was a collection of vague vibes is now Vizaeth Xunhrae Thaezyr, an apprentice of Menzoberranzan's Sorcere academy.
He's a completely pathetic disaster. He's obsessed with one of his teachers, Pharaun Mizzrym, and it's 50/50 'i want to sleep with you/i want to be you'. He's trans and his gender envy is so evil he stole his brother's body. He's in a one-sided rivalry with lawful's character, Viconia (she just likes to mess with him. he's sworn eternal enmity). He's got so many things wrong with him, there is no amount of therapy in the world that can fix him. He's the meanest, pettiest, bitchiest gay in Sorcere and I've accidentally written almost 10k about him over this week, and all of it is so self-indulgently darkfic edgy, i'm having an absolute blast.
fair warning if anyone goes looking at his tag/fic, there is stalker-stuff, obsessive behaviour, and a smattering of gore/ero-gore (specifically, some uh. consensual vivisection.) Vizaeth is...not okay.
