I know this was unintentional but you completely forgot about Duke lol, unless he isn’t part of the Batfam yet in this timeline? I’ve personally taken it as Duke is the only one who gets along with Reader and although they aren’t close, just giving Reader awkward bare minimum attention instantly makes them the closest family member to Reader.
ok so i DID forget Duke 😭😭😭 bye idk why i literally alway forget him
i’m gonna go back and fix that don’t worry! but he won’t be mentioned much simply because he really only moves into the manor at 16 and because he’s 3-4 years older than Damian, he’s about a year older than reader so he came to the manor only a couple months before Tiff and around the reader’s 15th birthday. Reader doesn’t have time to try and bond with him and is kind of jealous of him at first. he just got into the family so easily and is just casually doing family game night and movie night with them so reader kind of resents him for not having to work or ‘prove’ himself.
Duke and reader are chill, i wouldn’t say they’re particularly close but he does acknowledge her way more than the rest of the family and does genuinely care for her. He’s just so caught up in trying to fit in with the other batkids that he sometimes forgets reader!
lmk if you have any other suggestions or if i got anything else wrong 😭😭 format might be weird bc i’m typing on my phone in the car!
I just got a random idea w another neglected reader instead they turn yandere instead of the batfam. due to the constant neglect they receive from the batfam they cling onto any sort of praise they receive, becoming affection starved. they start getting really obsessed and creepy over the batfam, straight up having a shrine dedicated to them in their closet. the batfam start getting weirded out and tries to get rid of them by drowning them in a thick black liquid Bruce got from outerspace from one of the adventures in the league. they leave them to drown but instead the alien substance starts infiltrating the readers organs like a parasite, taking hold of readers brain and spurring on their yandere tendencies. they're like little tiny voices in their head, draining readers life force as they crawl out of the massive vat, grinning like a madman and vowing to capture the batfam and plague their existences for their entire lives. kindve like an eldritch horror and venom combined. reports of this mysterious creature pop up from left and right, leaving the batfam perplexed. they notice shadows moving around them, black inky tendrils clinging onto their capes and soot coating their boots. reader lies waiting in the dark, ready to snatch up their prey.
Ngl I got this idea when I was listening to kikuo songs and their songs fit so well w any neglected reader. Especially their song named "You are a useless child." it's about two people, the parent and the child. The lyrics (they're in Japanese) in the first two choruses talk about how useless of a child they are,
"You are a useless, useless, useless child,
the most useless child in the world."
but when the child disappears in the music video after being bullied by them endlessly, the chorus changes to "I am a worthless child." and the singer starts demeaning themselves for letting them go. I just feel like it fits IBLD so well. 🫠
This should be the song I think ^^
oh shit
this is GOOODDDDD.
like actually really good!!! I’ve never written a yandere reader beforeeee! getting like goosebumps fr!!! this is literally so amazing babe but it’s not my style. maybe you could write something like this?? i’m sure you could execute it wayyyy better than me bc it’s already a really good idea 😭💕💕
my mind has been like: let’s mash older and million dollar man together reader moved on from Clark, was backstabbed by Harvey and now slade is offering her a way out it would be messy as hell, I don’t know if this was pre-two face or after, but imagine the chaos that could cause after Tiffany is discovered!
well done Bruce great job you fumbled being a father for like the thousandth time!
yeah so they are already connected!! Million dollar man is Older’s prequel!! sorry i should’ve made that clearer my bad 😭🫶
Yo I’ve been thinking about this, and what if reader goes on this like down world spiral. After all this shit happened with her family and her love life being shit. She goes to get help for some who isn’t her family. AND it’s none other the Queen of Green herself PAMELA ISLY
YEEEEESSS the one and only Poison Ivy, like outta all the people she would definitely be able to help reader with new powers. And in the process of helping her, I feel like reader and Ivy would form like a mother daughter bond. Ivey would definitely be a good parent and WAAAAY BETTER than the bat fam.
Ivy would definitely help reader not only with her power but with her self image to. Like she has no real positive females in her life. She would start have more like self respect in since because now she has someone who cares for her. Not only as an image on the family but as a person with feelings.
It also accounts in my mind that at some point like when reader stops trying with her family,and Tiffany tries to “pick up”. Reader almost basically moves in with Ivy and does all the things she wanted with the bat family with her now. I like the idea that Harley and Selena are like cool Aunties and she calls them that ,and Ivy her Mom.
And when the bat fam realizes that Tiffany is basically everything the reader said she was. She’s already got a new life with the BIG 3 and Ivy makes sure that DINT TOUCH her baby snake
Because in the end the best revenge is when they can’t get to you all
Period, Thank you for your time 🖤🐍
ok girl this would EAT as an AU. It's not where I plan on going with the plot butttt I might get around to writing it!! if i do someday, ill tage you! thanks <33333

dw babe its comingggg!! i just got my period so i've just been laying in bed in pain LMAO!! it should be out sometime today <333
y’all i’m so so mad. i wrote two chapter of IBLD and one chapter of Older AND TUMBLR GLITCHED AND DELETED THEM AS I WAS POSTING THIS. THIS IS LITERALLY MY 13 REASON WHY. IM GONNA KMS THIS WAS LITERALLY MY FINAL STRAW. 😭😭😭
Also now that i’m done yelling, 690 followers is INSANE i cannot believe this y’all are awesome! i love you all!! a new chapter of something new is coming out tonight so stay tuned 💕🫶💕
They're very much focused on the betrayal, life stealing and anger at themselves that they're not mentioning the fact reader's gone
I don't know why it bugs me a little and maybe that's because it's rushed but I can't put my finger on why I feel this way
Maybe it's selfish in my eyes?? IDK WHAT I'M TRYNA SAY
NOPE!!! its not because its rushed!! you're right on point, it's because they're selfish, at first its not even about reader being gone. their 1st priority isnt checking on her, it's regaining control and making tiffany pay. the regret and longing comes after
friendly reminder that if i have ever befriended you and have not spoken to you in a while it’s nothing you’ve done wrong it’s just because i’m a piece of shit at keeping in contact with people and i still love you okay good
Imagine when reader gets kidnapped she realized there's no escaping so she just acts allllll bratty lmao
"Why is my room this color?! I want it to be exactly #98FF98 not green!!"
"What do you mean there's no more red staple bags??? UGHH YOU ALL ARE SO THE WORST!!"
She's like veruca but much more worst with the intent of being a brat all together 💀
nahhh ok i was cooking up a head cannon for this ngl….
y’all i got school ALL day today but i promise tonight imma answer all y’all’s asks and submissions and MAYBE post chapter 2!!
no but actually reader is gonna make Bruce buy her every bag in every color, trust she will go out of her way to annoy him and try and put a dent in his unrealistically huge fortune ( it’s not happening)
oh my god and the way she’s gonna treat the batsiblingssssss!
If you’re gonna do a hyper sexual reader is it just to plop it in there for shock value or are you gonna go in depth about how it affects her relationship with boys/ herself?
no no no! it's gonna go in depth! it's a very psychological thing! i'm expanding more on it in the current chapter im cooking up
Brad Pitt's new movie released it's first poster!!!!Wow! So cool!!! Anyway reminder that Brad Pitt physically assaulted Angelina Jolie and his kids on a plane (deliberately so that they had nowhere to run) he choked multiple of his children when they tried to defend their mother and spent the next few hours emptying the planes bottles of beer and red wine on their fucking heads. His kids are literally filing to have his last name dropped before they even turn 18.
Also reminder that Brad Pitt, who both stars in and is producing the film, is banking on YOU as a motorsport fan to be a built-in audience for this project. Don't do it. Seeing a cameo of the drivers for a few seconds is not worth the moral forfeit of giving this literal monster your money and support.
