I’ve only done some light reading on Selina, but even so, details on her past seem few and far between. Maybe there’s a reason, maybe I just haven’t looked hard enough, whatever. Someone can enlighten me in the comments. What I do know, however, is that she’s eluded to have experienced some form of abuse as a child. Now, this research came on the heels of brushing up on the rest of Batman’s rogues’ gallery and I gotta say, abuse as a backstory comes up a lot. And I’m just sitting here, like, “There are so many unique people in this world with unique traumas and hurts that this feels almost cookie cutter.” Am I wrong? I just wanna be more specific and explore problems more intimately. So… Selina Kyle. What to write for her backstory? I thought a lot about who she is as a character present day—her playful aloofness, her decision to become a cat burglar, breaking rules as if they don’t exist, always on the run, never settling down with anyone long term, stealing nice things for herself—it led me to this backstory: When Selina was a child, she was horribly neglected. Her father was almost never around and her mother was depressed, anxious, under the influence of alcohol quite often, and wished she never had a daughter. Selina found that it was always easier to live as though she were invisible. If she never got caught making a mess or being noisy or causing problems, her mother would never get mad at her, or even a acknowledge her, and neither would her father if he ever showed his face. She never received birthday gifts—or if she did, they were pitiful—and all of her attempts of reaching out via gifts to her mother and father were rejected. She was never loved and grew to believe that the only way she would ever feel cared for is if she just took care of herself and only herself. She was good at being invisible, and so she became good at stealing. She treated herself to nice things whenever she felt like it, and she rarely ever got caught. She never made close friends. She never really fell in love. She built up walls so high that no one could ever break them down… until she met Bruce. Suddenly, here was a guy who could consistently catch her red-handed. Who told her she needed to stop robbing people. Who believed she could be better. Who saw her. And even though she kept double-crossing him, escaping his grasp, and escaping justice, she found that it was a little bit harder to return to crime every time. She had always found him attractive… but the longer they chased each other around Gotham, and the longer he showed that he wasn’t going to ignore her or give up on her, the more that attraction turned into a deep feeling that Selina had never felt before. True love. She was scared of it. She didn’t know what to do with it. It was completely the opposite of everything she had ever known, and she secretly didn’t think she deserved it. After all, she was a criminal. She was a “bad guy.” Someone who stole from others for pleasure and profit. And yet Bruce believed she was a good person deep down. He believed she had the capacity for change. And in time, he would find himself falling in love with her too. By the end of their story, naturally, those walls had come crumbling down and they had each learned how to love again, something they both thought would never happen to them. 💜

OTP/Shipping positivity post! 💖:

If your OTP were to get tattoos to represent their other half, what would they be? And where are they?

Selina Kyle had gotten drunk and has in tiny lettering right above her pussy that says "batcave" when asked about it she said "because that's where he spends all his time"

Bruce Wayne if anything got drunk on that same night and got the very straight forward cat print on his inner thigh. Dick teases him that he has a stripper tattoo.

“Back off, Bats.”

a redraw from ancient times.

BatCat fans, let’s put our clown wigs back on ‘cause we’re fucking winning

Fanfiction: Bruce and Selina. Golden Age Romance

Did you watch Agents of SHIELD? Do you know Daisy Johnson AKA Quake?? Well, I have this crossover ship Daisy x Dick. And I think it would be awesome if this two work and love together Hahahahaha and her power is AMAZING. Daisy it's kinda outlaw sometimes, and always running, but she's a hero. So maybe would be something like batxcat relationship?? Just in case you know the characters and all...

I don’t watch Agents of SHIELD. And, as stated in my FAQ, I don’t write for the Marvel shows or write universe cross overs. 

TumblrFrostbite's Question: When did you first knew about the RiddleCat pairing?

Gosh, a good few years back. I was reading the Cattales fanfic (not to be confused with CAT Tales, a much better series of fics and Scarecrow based with some Riddler thrown in) and Eddie and Selina were friends in it (it was a batxcat fic series) and I found myself wishing that they would get together. Then I found @spyvstailor RiddleCat fic Twelve Days of Riddler, and the rest, as they say, was history.

Hi there! I sent in the ask about jason and cp and i really liked the idea of them having a batxcat relationship, could you come up with some head canons please? -Jinx

When the daughter is having a meeting with the other heads of the gotham underworld jason comes to take them all out, she is able to flirt with him and charm him long enough to be the only one to escape.When she's racing away in the purple lamborghini from a heist she never knows if jason is letting her get away or he really cant catch her, and he doesnt fully know the answer either.On the rare occasion when jason asks for help he finds her (she lets herself be found) and she turns from badbad to goodbad just once to help him out.

7 MORE DAYS

Until Batman Issue #50 (THE BATCAT WEDDING ISSUE) comes out!! Mark ya’lls calendars!

Yo I ship SelinaxBruce so hard I even ship them at 9 years old. This is HORRIBLE.

batman and catwoman

Ahhhh :DDD

when i started shipping or if i ship it- I don't remember exactly how long it's been since I started shipping them :S 6-7 years maybe??

my thoughts- They fit eachother so well! I think Selina is the only woman Bruce can truly be himself with, and that's very important in his...line of work. It's also very funny that Batman managed to fall for a thief XP

what makes me happy about them- I dunno, everything? XD I love their flirting, their banting. They're just so good together!

what makes me sad about them- That they never truly end up together ;_; I hate that in comics, that the writers feel it necessary to always keep Batman on his toes, never really settling down with one, partly because the fans are very divided on which woman he should be with. *cough* Talia *cough* One thing that will also forever make me sad and angry is that they both have children with someone else Y_Y Can I pretend for a moment that Damien and Helena are their children, please?? ;_;

things done in art/fic that annoy me - Nothing really, haven't thought about it

things i look for in art/fic- I actually don't read any fics with them XD Very very rare that I read fanfics with two normal humans >_> In art..hmmm, those with Selina looking all smug while Batman is serious is always nice, it just symbolises them so well XD

my kinks- Don't have any

who i’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other- NO ONE!! They belong together, forever and ever!!

my happily ever after for them- Fighting crime together, maybe marry. Just being together, and Damien and Helena are their children! And they fight crime together with Dick and Tim and Cassandra! And Stephanie and Jason I guess, I dunno, ALL OF THE BATFAMILY Q_Q
