exactly one person asked and i’ve been DYING to make this, so here are all of my favorite long batman fanfics in general and for new readers @twisted-tales-told :)
cards on the table by @wesslan ! 69k, completed. this is one of my all time favorite fanfictions, it’s so funny and tim is a mastermind genius and a little liar <3 he basically pretends to be a fortune teller and gives scarily good predictions and advice by stalking the upper class and eventually gets involved with the batfam and has to maintain his lies while dealing with his issues :) 10/10, very found family, good angst, so much lying
Dark Matter by @mysterycyclone , 221k, ongoing. this is a batman fanfic rec, of course my bbg dark matter is going to be here <3 this is a MCUxDCU crossover where after infinity war (spoilers for that if you haven’t seen it!) peter parker gets sent to the DCU dimension with part of the soul stone and basically is haunted by the ghosts of the avengers while trying to survive in gotham and get back to his dimension. this is so well written i’ve read it at least three times, it’s still ongoing but trust me it is SO GOOD. i can’t properly describe it, but if you like spider-man and you are interested in batman, you’ll love.
Red is the Color of Sinners by @bluelotuswrites , series, 120k, ongoing, M. i want you to look me in my eyes when i tell you this is my favorite series on ao3. it is set after under the red hood and daredevil 3 where jason and matt meet in a church after jason loses his ability to speak following the events of UTRH. they keep running into each other both as matt and daredevil and eventually jason begins helping matt out with injuries and tech. it’s not finished yet, but there is something so compelling about their dynamic in this series as well as jason’s overall character and how he is portrayed. i’m a sucker for mute jason after UTRH and this series does so well giving him a fresh start and a place away from gotham to heal and build relationships. i cannot recommend enough.
buy back the secrets by @vinelark , 71k, ongoing, T. THIS!!! oh my god, so this is a timkon fic where kon still doesn’t know tim’s civilian identity, but whenever he’s in trouble tim calls for superboy which leads to them meeting without kon knowing. shenanigans ensure when kon starts spending more time with tim! it’s still ongoing but the author is currently working on the next part and it is so so worth the wait. chapter 4 ends on a cliffhanger though so be warned :))
Sales People Know (listening is the most important part) by Mayhem10, 77k, completed, T. this has the coolest urban magical realism ever. tim basically runs this magic shop that shows up places and people who need something find it in his shop :) it’s kinda a slow burn found family fic with magic themes and a smidge of angst!
Retrograde Motion by Lysical, 112k, completed, T. this is best de-aged kid fic ever. jason gets turned into a 7 year old and basically the outlaws, artemis and biz, join forces with the batfam to take care of him. but trust me when i say this is worth your time, it might sound tropey but in the best way possible!! and jason’s relationship with artemis is sooo important to me in this!
Hand in Unloveable Hand (a chokehold) by britishparty, 54k, completed, M. this is one of the best psychological torture/grooming fics i’ve ever read. pretty much what if while our taking photos of batman and robin, little tim gets kidnapped and black mask gets his hands on him and decides he’s the perfect size for a protege. years of psychological abuse and insane mind games ensue. also tim is a Badass™️
If He Had Come by bronwe_iris, 45k, completed, T. so i’m a little freak and i love the angst of arkham knight jason, but more specifically the aus where bruce saves jason before he becomes the arkham knight! this is an au where bruce finds jason and saves him from the joker after 9 months of torture and brings him home. focuses on his healing mentally and physically and rebuilding his relationship with his family
Banshee in a Well by liverobinreaction (bugbee), 43k, completed, T. veeeery good angst. basically what if tim couldn’t die? 43k of tim drake whump where he just dies a bajillion times and eventually his family notices <3
The Birds: Hatching a Family by Oceanera12, 81k, completed, T. this is like “what if the batkids weren’t adopted by bruce, but instead they were all foster siblings who can’t seem to stay out of gotham at night and batman happens to find them and decides obviously he can’t leave these kids to their own business, he has to stick his nose in it” and there’s some angst and heaps of found family
The Hellblazer’s Apprentice by @bluelotuswrites, 29k, ongoing, M. what can i say, im a simple woman, i love to see jason with literally any older male mentor :) basically in UTRH what if he took up an apprenticeship under constantine to learn magic to piss off batman! so good, i really love constantine so seeing him and jason interact in a long fic is so good. also ALL BLADES JASON TODD SAVE ME… ALL BLADES JASON TODD-
something in the static by bonerot19, 101k, ongoing series with three main completed works, T. this is a jason centric series where jason still lives in crime alley with his mom and dad and never stole the batmobile tires. it follows his life in crime alley with an addict mom and an abusive dad and one night when his dad is whaling on him nightwing finds him and the bats just can’t seem to leave him alone after that. steph is his neighbor and best friend also and their relationship is so good. this is a “what if jason took a different way home to the wayne’s” fic series and i love it so much <3
catch the asteroids that come your way by ThePackWantsTheD, 54k, completed, T. i don’t read a lot of ships in the batman fandom i’m sorry, but this kyle/jason one is sooo lovely. basically the two of them growing up together and falling in love and then dealing with the aftermath of A Death in the Family and finding each other again :) really sweet and nice!
hope you find something you like! i realized the majority of these are tim or jason centric, and i love them all dearly, but if anyone has any recs for long fics focusing on any of the other batkids lmk! and any other recs in general, i am a fiend for new fics

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

Okay, so when I made this post about the PCRF, I noticed there were a lot of people in the notes who found it helpful that I had walked them through the process of donating.
And now that things are changing and some aid groups are pulling out of gaza due to this incident, it's being strongly reccomended that donations go to the fundraisers of those in Gaza wishing to leave.
So I thought I would walk people through donating on GoFundMe. It's very simple and takes less than five minutes (even less than that if you already have an account).
Tumblr media
As you probably know GoFundMe's minimum donation is $5.00.
Tumblr media
GoFundMe also gives the option to tip their platform. It is not mandatory and you can set this amount to $0. That's what I did, as I couldn't find any information on what they actually do with the tips.
Tumblr media
GoFundMe asks for your zip code, email, and card information to process a donation. They do not ask for your address. There are no additional processing fees and no taxes.
If you have $5 to spare, click this link or this link that lead to VERIFIED fundraising campaigns of those in Gaza who are looking to leave. These pages are called Funds for Gaza and Operation Olive Branch respectively. I also made a post here with a few evacuation campaigns from Funds for Gaza.
Even just $5 and five minutes of your time can help someone! It really is very easy and very quick!

i think its so funny that alumni from schools like harvard and columbia that were there during the protests in the 60s-80s are expressing support for students currently protesting against the genocide in palestine, and random zionists that were NOT at these protests in the 60s-80s have the never ending audacity to tell these alumni "well thats different, what you protested was good and what they're protesting is bad." as if protesters against the vietnam war and apartheid south africa were not also demonized, arrested, brutalized, and even killed for their activism. history only remembers them fondly after the damage has already been done.

broke: using AI to write fic
woke: slowly luring your friend into your fandom over the course of 18 months and then casually sharing a concept extremely tailored to your shared taste and going “oh but i’ll never have time to write it myself, oh woe, oh alas” and they finally give in and start writing the 100k epic while you reap the benefits

bbts snippet for good luck on finals please 🙏 love your work and can’t wait for the next chapter!
good luck!!! 💪📝
A bolt of fury finds home in Kon’s chest, quickly followed by shame. He squeezes his eyes shut, forcing himself to breathe once, twice, before opening them again. “I’m sorry,” he says. Tim makes a small sound of protest, but Kon keeps going. “I should’ve been more careful.” “It’s not your fault,” Tim says. His voice is so rough Kon has to stop himself from wincing. “I’m the one who should have known better.” Kon swallows. He supposes it’s fair for Tim to regret their kiss, but he still can’t let Tim blame himself for this.

3 am sentence of writing please?
okay it’s not 3am, but since i just did wip wednesday i’ll take this as an excuse to share a non-bbts sentence 🫶
When Tim surfaces, coughing and sporting a brand-new rip down the leg of his chiton but otherwise no new significant injuries, he climbs up the concrete jetty and comes face-to-boots with someone who wasn’t there before.

hello and happy wip wednesday! maybe? if you are so inclined? 💜🥰
happy wipwed! 🫡
Superboy might have a bit of ego as part of his charm, but Kon isn’t actually egotistical enough to think he broke Tim’s heart or anything. Tim seemed to like him, but they hadn’t had time to be much of anything to each other yet. Which doesn’t mean Tim didn’t care or that it doesn’t suck, but Tim will be okay. Kon believes that.
He’ll miss him, though, if Tim doesn’t want to be friends again. He’ll miss playing WordCrash and hanging out with one of the few people to ever see Kon as a person first and a superhero second.

in my english class, our assignment was to write about our favorite thing in as much detail as possible, absolutely no other guidelines, and over 2 class periods, i made a 6 page paper of the succession of robins and a brief history of their lives, with honorable mentions of the non-robin kids, an in-depth study of tim drake as a character, and the progression of dick grayson as a character and how his romantic interests throughout the ages reflect on himself and his goals.
not sure how i feel about this one, chief
first of all congrats on your phd in robinology 🫡 second of all i feel like there’s a 50/50 chance you infect your teacher with The Robins after this
