Before Dc Decided To Make Everyone's Parents One Dimensional To Make Bruce Look Better In Comparison

before dc decided to make everyone's parents one dimensional to make bruce look better in comparison (my theory), batman was so good at showing the complexity of having your abuser be your parent.

i'll probably add more later, but here's my favorite examples

david cain loved cassandra. he loved that little girl, and he showed it by making her the perfect weapon. he showed it by the only way he knew how, making sure she was the best of the best and couldn't be defeated. he made sacrifices to do to so, like refusing to allow her to understand language, and it worked. he loved that little girl that he dressed in a pink dress and made sure to get her pigtails even and then he told that little girl to kill someone. and cassandra knows she was loved by him, even if that love was wrong and painful and not the kind she deserved.

talia al ghul loved damian. she loved her son so she trained him to fight men twice as large. she loved her son the only way she knew how, the only way her father loved her, so she trained him to kill. to defend himself. to do his duty as an al ghul. she loved him but she raised him in a cult, because the cult was all she knew. she loved him enough to let him go, to send him to his father. to stand up to her own father for him. and damian knows he is loved by her, even if was wrong and painful and not the kind he deserved.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

OP of the original post turned off reblogs but as of 3 hours ago 3/3/24 Deux Face is still alive and doing well!! According to the farm's Facebook she is starting to try to stand and getting better at holding up her head. The farm has been very clear that they're going to care for her and do their best to meet her needs, they are not planning to sell her or show her off to the media. They also haven't mentioned any other noticeable deformities inside or out and have noted that both heads connect at the same throat, and she's lived for about 5.5 days at this point which is shockingly long for an animal with this level of deformities. Go Deux Face!
