I can handle it!!!! (she said, clearly not handling it)

Dom and Brian are adorable in this movie I actually forgot how much i frickin love them (lets not talk about how quickly Dom accepts Brian back into the fold even though he was brutally betrayed by him five years ago and they had so much angst about it)

more specifically I'm talking about the dumb Rivalry they have going on and how fucking perfect it is as a set up for BatLantern Rivals to Lovers (like genuinely the Fourth movie screams Raging Homosexuals in a way that no other movie does. Like they are solidly Just Friends in every other movie except the fourth one is wayyyyyy too blurrying the lines. Anyway>)

"What's stopping me from telling them you're a space cop?" "Probably the same thing keeping me from telling them why you're really here."

"At least we know that in a fair race I'd smoke you." "I didn't know there were any rules."

"You know, when you blew up your car back there you also blew up mine." "Is that so." "Yeah. You know what this means, right?" "Do tell." "You owe me a ten second car." "...is that right." "Yeah." *breaks window* "We're even."

"You know I won that, right?" "You hit your head pretty hard." "Don't make me laugh."

"He's mine." "You got it."

"I'm taking this whole house down." "Have fun."

"Do you two know each other?" *loaded eye contact*

other times I'll be reading my old fics and come across lines like this:

"Biking is my passion, Gooning is my profession."

all of this to say basically that Hal is a Very Dumb person who does not pick up on half the stuff Bruce is doing and I know because I'm purposefully making him not realize what's happening but since I'm not switching povs no one will ever know...

So this is basically my PSA for ma boi Bruce when these chapters are finally posted- anything that you read in the fic and assume Bruce did or that it alludes to Bruce having done something you are probably correct.

Something something

he looks at you and sees the person he loves but you're not them anymore, but because of your anger at him you're preventing him from getting to know you Now so all he has to cling to are memories from the past instead of the present and maybe its because you're scared he won't love who you are now, or maybe its much more terrifying to think that he will anyway

it is a PRISON and one I WILLINGLY CHOSE

BUT I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE
