''She's -- I don't know, she looks at me like she's hearing the stuff I'm not telling her, and it's freaking me the fuck out.''

// So I've made the switch to the new xkit rewritten to cut posts. Theres gonna be a little transition period with my current threads as I'm not able to cut them in the same way anymore so appologies for that. It does look like a much better system for cutting replies when it does work however so hopefully any new threads it'll be easier. Thanks for bearing with me while I switch over.

i feel like the line that writers are not willing to cross when it comes to bruce and gordon’s relationship is allowing either of them to reach the natural conclusion of recognizing the system as permanently rotted, but esp gordon bc he is within the heart of it. while not perfect i wouldn’t entirely mind gordon trying to fix the system from within if it led him to a realization that he realistically cannot do that (because even if he helps change individual people, the system that benefits and facilitates their inclinations towards senseless violence is still there) and so pursuing other means or avenues of justice is what he should move towards instead. i understand writers maintain bruce’s connection to gordon as a sort of in to crime scenes and the upper echelons of gotham society etc but the more i think about it the more i question why having this in is even necessary when bruce has barbara. if she can hack and gain access to things at a federal level then what’s stopping her from doing the same at a municipal level? not to mention the way bruce’s social network expands over the years should allow him more access to the spheres he’s trying to infiltrate 

i just don’t think gordon is a character whose position as commissioner should be seen as viable or worth maintaining in the long term and to me not just bruce but the batman mythos in general would benefit more from centering people like leslie thompkins as important allies instead. before war games leslie was a beacon of bruce’s inclinations towards philanthropy and was constantly used to emphasize that while bruce understood he needed to use violence now he didn’t want that to be the case forever and was in agreement with leslie on working towards a day where vigilantes like him would no longer be needed. leslie could theoretically be an avenue through which to move bruce towards embracing a more abolitionist stance than is already subtly implied by the dedication he has towards investing in charities and trying to help uplift financially disadvantaged communities in gotham and if their relationship with and respect of each other was more valued by comic writers rather than mutilated to create empty lecturing points for bruce than we could return to a more hopeful bruce and a more hopeful batman in general 

"Thank you for coming to pick me up. I'm almost done. Shall we get take out? "

Sat in the clinic awaiting @docthompkins to finish her shift so we can go back to hers to snuggle on the sofa.

'Batman needs me.'

There was a weight to Jason excited revelation. But not one that she was going to dive in with to start off. "Im glad things went how you wanted them to Jason." It was worth pointing out the good. Noticing positives.

She wondered if he had kept to filling in the journal she had given him in all of the excitement.

"How about the rest of your week outside of the cape. The book report going well?"

Hel–Heck yeah.“

Jason smirked, opening his can of coke. ’‘I told you, doc; being Robin is the best thing that ever happened to me. I can do good. Batman needs me.”

It had earned more than a few notes down in his journal. He was good enough, he was earning his keep as Robin and as Jason. All their worries… he was good. Even Barbara had said so.
