I Don’t Think This Man Ever Left The Desert. 🪻🌹

i missed you !!!!!!!

AU AU, haha (like, Australian AU, Geddit?) because I went to Bunnings yesterday and Jinx would've loved Bunnings.

Also tragic

and while i’m on a self indulgent thing? i think that any of the kids calling Bruce “dad” changes his whole demeanor. it helps him know that whatever they’re talking about is serious.

hearing his name shouted across the house does nothing for him. a hundred people say his name all day, including his kids. whatever the situation is can be fixed.

but hearing “Dad!”, cried out in battle or screamed from the other room, has him rushing to their side. what is it love and i’m here you’re alright and shh i’ve got you

“Bruce, I need help” = can’t open this large jar, have a question about math homework, need someone to look at this case file for me

“Dad, I need help” = I am hurt. I am scared. I am in danger. I need you to make things better. I need you to protect me.

are we really surprised, though, that scar obeyed grian's order?

of course scar gave his heart to grian; as if it ever belonged to anyone else. because that's how the two of them work: scar goes in looking to take, but somehow, inevitably, impossibly, he always leaves with his heart torn out and his hands empty, removed of the cards he keeps up his sleeve.

grian strips scar down to his barest, most vulnerable form. the most haunting part of it all is that scar, in his endless devotion, is always happy to do it. scar gives grian his heart, again and again, because was it ever really even his?

hiii do you have any scarian fic recomendations maybeee? (i've finished TAMN and i need more stuff to read-)

the dichotomy between an attack dog vs a guard dog is like. an attack dog is sent out to carry out violence. it's starved and abused to ensure aggression. it has no other purpose outside of Attacking at the whim of its master. it's constantly on guard because a threat can come from any direction at any time. it's the dog chained up in a basement that's only set loose when there's something to kill.

but a guard dog is protecting instead of attacking. instead of being sent out to fight, it comes home to defend the house. it may be constantly on watch for an external threat, but it is content to lay with the sheep until a wolf comes to the door. the guard dog has a warm place to sleep, and is well fed and treated like a member of the household. it's free to leave at any time but it stays to protect the house anyway. do u get it. do u understand.

The end of each @hotguycomiczine era
