I Added A Whole Chapter On My Bonus Series, And All It Managed To Do Is Making Me Cry. I Don't Think

Behind Blue Eyes entry 2

Bruce loved his daughter’s eyes.

Those eyes that have always been as blue as his father’s.

It was a quiet comfort, looking into her face and finding echoes of the man who made him.

But now, they’re different.

And it hurts.

Because Thomas Wayne is gone forever, and without those eyes, the illusion that he ever lived is harder to maintain.

His daughter's eyes aren’t Wayne eyes anymore.

But neither are they Al Ghul's.

And in that, Bruce finds strange solace.

His daughter's eyes are something left behind (just like her), unclaimed by legacy.

Falling down a minor obsessive focus about The Crane Wives thanks to a beautiful animatic of the Batfamily (thank you @greenix) and listening to their whole discography only to discover how perfectly "Never love an anchor" fits my characterization for Talia.

Crying, screeming, ecc.

It may take me a while to finish writing and publish the 18th instalment of Robin's Blues (I am after all, once again, in exam season) but I will make it up to you all with some snippets of another work of mine!

Behind Blue eyes, entry 1

Alfred both loved and hated his granddaughter’s blue eyes, Thomas’ eyes.

He loved them because they reminded him of the man who once laughed through halls and who smiled like he held all the secrets of the universe.

He hated them for the same reason.

And now, they’re gone.

It should be a relief.

It is a relief.

But it’s also a wound.

Something sacred has vanished.

And Alfred is nothing but pain and reprieve held in the same trembling breath.

Because Thomas is gone.

Because Thomas will never really leave her (him).

Please Help me find a prompt so I can credit its author

Tumblr prompt:

A daughter of Apollo who finds that anything she even briefly mentions wanting tends to show up on her bed within a week. New watercolors, candies, hairties. She suspects that one of the Hermes' kids is doing it, but no one is willing to give them up. It stops after Manhattan.

I can't find the one who originally wrote this prompt, if you know their username please write it to me, I would like to credit them.

That said I strayed from the aforementioned prompt but I liked how it turned out, so, if you are interested on how this fic turned out, here it is!

All the pain in Aelia's life stemmed out of love.

Sadly her parents are innocent, ignorant to her woes.

Sadly Vivienne is long dead.

Sadly the memories of Luke's hands on her make her feel dirty.

Sadly the pain of her scraping never leaves her.

Sadly the person that always left her wonderful drawings and cute trinklets fights on the other side of the war.

Sadly her twin's face in her mind is horribly disfigured, just like it was when she had to wrap him into his golden shroud.

Sadly her little brother's body is never gonna be found.

Sadly, this sorrowful circle it is never gonna end.

Hi!!! I would really like to know what are your favorite movies and songs? ^^

Hi!!!

Nice question, and quite tricky (at least the part about my favourite songs) because I have a LOT (Which is partly because I grew up in a multilingual household and I don't have a fixed language for music).

That said Films:

"Missing" starring Jack Lemmon, has the very rare hability to make you understand extremely horryfying events without ever becoming a splatter. It was an extremely brave film when it came out, because it specifically and explicitly talked about the USA involvement in Pinochet's golpe.

"The treasure planet" one of my favourite childhood films, and one of the very few I didn't have to wrestle agaist my siblings to watch. " I am still here" slaps too, which I guess is only a bonus.

"Brokeback mountain" because it's the only film that makes me cry every single time I watch it, and sometimes I just really really need to cry.

"Requiem for a dream" , because I was an angsty teen and I LOVED this film, and I honestly love it still.

And Songs:

"A little bit off" (five finger death punch) and "lonely" (palaye royale (I am honestly quite fond of their whole discography, I went to see them twice)) are in this list both because they are wonderful songs and because they represent something deeply personal and impactuful in my life: my depression. They both came out in 2020 and, while they aren't "easy" songs, they helped me immensely because, while "a little bit off" made me feel less alone, "lonely" made me understand that, even if I couldn't really see it, I WAS feeling better, because I did see myself in its lyrics, but it wasn't the present me, but the past one. On this line of thinking, also "Formidable" (stromae) and "Jester" (Badflower) are some of my faves.

Murubutu like everything this man wrote. I would give him head. I would snort with him. I would crack his head open just to understand HOW he manages to write as he does. Anyways, some personal favourites are : "Scirocco", "Markus e Ewa", "La musa insolente" and "Ulisse" but honestly his whole discography is spectacular and it only gets better as the years go by.

A classic "Work song" (Hozier) loved it since 2015, it's technically also my and my partner's song.

"Fullen", because a witchly rave in the woods is always a good idea.

"Empty wallets" (5sos) idk, there is something about the mundanity of this love song that I really like. I also have "Teeth" among my favoutites ever since I first heard it.

"Providence" (poor man's poison). Idk how to describe this one. I love this one.

"La pesc gnará" which I am pretty sure I only love because it's one of the very few songs actually written in my first language.

"Tous les mêmes" (Stromae) which has quite sad lyrics and yet is extremely fun to sing.

Now the REAL classics

"People are strange", "love me two times", "the crystal ship", "peace frog" and "When the music's over" all by the Doors, because you don't forget your first love.

So those were my favourite movies and (a lot of) my favourite songs (I tried cutting their numbers a bit, but honestly this was the best I could do)

Idk if Ao3 is playing tricks on me by showing one inexistant extra comment on one of my fic or by hinding said comment from me.

If it's the second instance I am very sorry for my missing reply, but I quite literally CAN'T see your comment.

Wow, now there's a bot going around on Ao3 telling people that the "moderators" will delete works from "deprecated" fandoms and impose bans.

Fearmongering bullshit, but it's fearmongering bullshit that seems to be taking advantage of the recent spotlight series in order to trick authors into deleting their fics.

Just. Why.

What the hell does anyone get out of making these bots.

"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

Me, in a creative slump (that I can't even call writer's block because I AM writing, I just don't think what I am writing really fits into my series without sounding repetitive/superabundant).

Also me, panicking because the first anniversary of "Robin's Blues" is fast approaching and I would really like to publish something in that date.

Anyways, how would you all feel if, before a confrontation of sorts between Dixie, Bruce and Talia, I talked a bit more about what happened just after Dixie's death? Specifically focusing on Bruce, Talia and Damian?
