The Huntress Helena Bertinelli By The Amazing, Aki @himemina02

The Huntress — Helena Bertinelli By the amazing, Aki @himemina02

Getting a PHD literally anywhere else: Wow! Congratulations! What a great achievement! Amazing!

Getting a PHD in Gotham: Wow! Amazing! You're now on several Government, Civilian, and Bat watchlists.

So if any of the Wayne kids get a PHD, then the entirety of Gotham would be squinting at them suspiciously. They're rich, so resources, and most likely already insane with all the shit they pull.

What I'm saying is if Jason went and got himself a Doctorate in Literature, the whole city would anticipate the appearance of his villainsona called the Dead Poet(emphasis on the dead) or Bookkeeper or something else similarly nerdy and themed like that for sure.

I just know that it would turn into some Gotham inside joke with memes abound, and everytime Jason would, I don't know, give more funding to the neglected Arts Departments in Gotham University, or go to a school for read alongs to encourage kids to read, Gotham social media would go crazy and be like:

"The Dreaded Villain Dead Poet Reads Alice in Wonderland to Children! How Despicable!"

"Villain Dead Poet Lambasts Government on Banning Books! Leads Librarians to Riot!"

"Dead Poet Ramps up his Villainy by Establishing Educational Programmes in Crime Alley! Uplifting the Poor! What a Dastardly Villain!"

"Dead Poet Goes on Live Ranting About his Favourite Books! Favourite Author is Jane Austen! Is this the Feminist Agenda?"

And so on! It's a meme that refuses to go away. His siblings actively participate, and make the situation worse.

Dick held an online Gotham Villains and Anti-Heroes Poll and Dead Poet came out on top, over Red Hood. Jason is an actual Gotham crime boss, but his crowdfunded villainsona is more popular. No he's not salty about it at all.

Duke would create a montage of Dead Poet sightings.

Stephanie would make a Dead Poet meme compilation.

Tim would arrange Wayne Enterprises to donate to local libraries after allegedly being threatened by the heinous villain Dead Poet. (Jason did ask Tim to do that but not like that)

Barbara created an extremely popular Villain Watch account for Dead Poet.

Cass tweeted out Jason's favourite books as the villain Dead Poets reading list telling people to avoid them 'wink wonk', causing a massive uptick in the sale of those books ala Bigolas Dickolas.

Damian of all people tweeted out a pic of Jason playing with Alfred the cat accusing the evil villain Dead Poet of attempting to kidnap his cat.

And thats not to mention all the shenanigans they pull in their batsonas.

God bless Gotham and it's home grown, organic, not even remotely ethically sourced, free range chaos.

click for better quality lol thank u 🙏

they're adopted, pigheaded, live! this is my full piece for the @batfam-au-zine but you're not gonna wanna miss out on all the other amazing au's in the zine! fr it's such a good zine and i'm so proud to be a part of it. 🥰

leftover sales open now

Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3

Can we take a moment to talk about how Helena Bertinelli is disrespected in the DC fandom (more specifically the Batman side of DC). Like this woman is one of the founding members of the modern Batfam and yet so many people don't even know who see is.

[Sidenote: Bruce Wayne/Batman didn't create the Batfam it was made by Tim, and to people who value the importance of a character with the extended Batfam by their connection to Bruce. I tell you that the characters connection to Tim should matter more. Tim brought Nightwing back into the fold, held up Batman, was the first accepting vigilante of Huntress, a major reason Babs got back into the fold, was the one most connected to Steph. Tim collected a lot of older sibling figures, an ex girlfriend and a failure of a father figure.]

Anyway back to Helena. The legacy that the stomache square hole has had on her costume is massive and the poor writing done in the mid 2000s still directly affects the writing on Helena now.

Anyway Helena is the better Gotham antihero and the one who made that mold that so many people like the put Jason Todd into.

i like doing little doodles. i also like helena and tim :)
