Jason and Bruce are out late one night in Gotham as civilians. They get cornered by a mugger and Jason nearly pisses himself, he’s so amused. He teases the would-be mugger about their hand placement, even tries to goad the mugger into a fight because he’s Red Hood. He can disarm anyone in seconds. It doesn’t matter if you have a gun — he has two.
He’s Red Hood, and he has the literal Bat of Gotham standing behind him like a wall of muscle. They’re as close to invincible as humans get, in this town. And that kind of confidence scares off their would-be mugger.
But then Jason turns around, a smile stretching across his face, and Bruce is white. Bone white and so so quiet, eyes wide and trained on where the mugger had been standing.

some of you didn’t have mothers that told you ‘everyone gets anxious like that’ when you described your horrible anxiety around new places or things or that ‘everyone struggles with that’ when you described a symptom of ADHD only for you to get diagnosed in high school with both and subsequently motivate her to get diagnosed as well and be so mad that all that time she was dismissing you but also sad because she’s been struggling by herself for so much longer than you have even been alive and now you listen to her talk about how different she feels on meds and feel the rage and joy battle in your soul and it shows

my favorite timestuck dynamic
I love them so much😭💕
BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!
but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?
genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.
LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.
the edit itself
this edit is getting taken down from tiktok every time someone reuploads it, its straight up censorship at this point
