choices - batman: haunted knight

[ID: six panels of Bruce Wayne and his date going on a carriage ride. They're in monochrome as the only colour is the red rose his date is holding. She's presenting topics in hopes to find something he's interested in. "Politics?" Bruce reluctantly answers, "Not... Intentionally. I find it... Time consuming." She prompts, "Travel?" Bruce replies, "Not... As much as I like to." She leans closer as she asks, "Theater?" Bruce sits up slightly as he excuses, "I've missed a lot. I'm... Often busy at night." She attempts once again, asking what about music, to which Bruce tentatively responds, "I try to keep up with... um... What kind of music do you like?" She looks down at the rose with a soft smile before looking back up. She holds it underneath his nose as she leans slightly on his arm. "Mr. Wayne, are you involved with anyone right now?" Bruce looks at her as he says, "I... Have a number of obligations. But, none of them are romantic." END ID]

so things are not going well with my new elderly socdem friend unfortunately.

Now I'm just seeing Thornclaw in Ashfur's place. Thanks Erins. X_X no wonder it felt like Ashfur changed personalities from TPB to TNP. He was so worried for Cloudpaw as an apprentice...but he also didn't want to tell, either.

nooOOOOOOOOOOO THAT'S THE WORST THING I CAN THINK OF

STOP MAKING ME SEE INTO THIS DARK TIMELINE WHERE THORNCLAW WAS ASHFUR IM SCREAMINGG

yeah anyway Ashfur in TPB is a lot more sweet and gentle. His only 'harsh' action is wanting revenge for his mother, but... I'm not going to act like that's an unreasonable thing to want lmao. It's actually Normal to want to smash the kneecaps of the dude who brutally killed your mom and fed her to wild animals don't @ me

In fact he's actually (COMPLETELY BASED ON HIS PORTRAYAL IN TPB I AM NOT AN ASHFUR APOLOGIST) more trustworthy than Brambleclaw before the writers picked him to be the traitor working with Hawkfrost...

he stuck his neck out to lie for Cloudpaw a million times

he was one of the few people to push back against the narrative that Cloudpaw left of his own will... even though fireheart and sandstorm were there... and heard him shouting "ARGH IM BEING KIDNAPPED! THIS IS AGAINST MY WILL! I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN THE SITUATION THAT I AM IN CURRENTLY!"

he readily takes part in the plan to kill the dogs and fight BloodClan no questions asked

Like... what I'm getting at is, if Ashfur was closer to TPB's Ashpaw, he would have kept the secret of that parentage without so much as a whimper. TPB Ashpaw is a ride or die kind of guy.

Buuuuut that said I love Ashfur as a villain in TBC, so, I can't really complain. I think losing Cool Dude Ashpaw was worth it for the Villain Ashfur we eventually got, ngl.

I already feel like I have so many btvs opinions that no one would want.

want to play dos2 but i'm stuck on that adramahlihk fight and it's so so terrible

thinking about Usopp and Sanji and Sanji telling Usopp he was okay with Usopp dying for Nami and proceeded to sacrifice himself for Usopp and then later in Water 7 all their little moments together like wahhhhhhh they are my little guys who both hate themselves in different ways </3

I think the huge chunk in the middle of my wip notebook that is just manic notes, outlines, time lines, entire chapters complete with edits from the last (almost) year that I abandoned should idk... have the decency to tear themselves out and set themselves on fire

any post y3 mine thoughts? because I just want him to be happy

oh i got Y3 mine thoughts but i don't know if i'd call them happy

surviving the fall leaves him hospitalized for a while, the duration of his stay leaving him alone since he's considered dead by all his past associates.

there's a chance that katase gets to know he's alive on account of probably being the only public contact he has. in the event she does visit, she's more so shocked and at a loss for words and doesn't make her visit long (he probably tells her the truth of what happened- he's generally an open book like that, but again what can you really say to your boss telling you he tried to kill himself and you two don't really have much of a friendship). Good Ending is that katase makes it known how she actually does care about him beyond being her boss and the two gradually become friends (or mine's at least more open to accepting her as a friend- he might still be the tiniest bit wary she's only worried about him for business purposes), helping him get back into his old life

he's given a lot of time to think, especially about what kiryu's said to him. but once he's discharged, he doesn't make an attempt to return to the tojo: he still believes he's irreparably wronged daigo and reasons he would be better without mine around

whether he goes back to his old company or try to jump start a new one in order to lay low's up in the air for me tbh, but i imagine he goes with the latter- probably doesn't want to chance anyone finding him again, at least not immediately. for giggles i like to imagine he sets up in ijincho: the place where everyone who should be dead but isn't winds up (visiting Survive, him and The Bartender seem to have a quiet agreement not to talk to each other very long)

his life generally goes back to the way it was, but he can't deny there's still a hollow hole in his chest. despite his new efforts, it's hard for mine to move on from the first and only person he's ever loved: mine was the one considered dead, yet he grieves daigo as though he actually did die that night

on occasion, he visits kamurocho for business purposes and tries not to linger too long. occasionally he catches daigo's limo or daigo himself around the city, and when he does he's quick to exit the area and tries not to stare too long- he just doesn't want to be seen, that's all.

maybe after daigo and watase disband the yakuza, mine privately invests in their new security business. he might not be there to help in person, but the least he can do is provide financial support form the shadows- it's nothing new to him anyhow

❝ Can ya not try ta get yerself court-martialed, Momo? I don't care how /I/ look, but at least no one can accuse me of insubordination. ❞

Momo groans. What a fragile little man-- running to Daddy to complain about being poked. Byakuya is happy to let them bleed out, but god forbid his ego suffer prodding.

"I will comport myself better. But I've already apologized-- I'll sit in a cell while he seethes, for all I care."

i'd like to make an announcement me and pyrrha were talking and have decided pat/rok/los. u r disowned. sorry patty-cake but the next time u enter the line of sight of either of us you will be eradicated with the power of gay. mostly by pyrrha. sorry not sorry.

there's something about my aunt's outlook on life that's just so depressing and upsetting that it's getting to the point where i'd like nothing more to cut her out of my life just for the sake of enjoying it

.

My mom just came in my room right after I got home to be like how did it go???? What happened???? When are you going back?? How do you feel??? Are you ok???? What are your hours???? What did they say??? And I know she means well but
