sighs “i’m a CRIME BOSS not a serial killer : (”

                     uncomfort hidden by a smile                                  that speaks of a worse past; dripping of                                  sincerety; ignores the bitter taste at the                                  back of her throat; a slum child rubbing                                 dirt smudged  hands  on  a million  dollar                                 painting of self control; she’s a creature                                 of habit; sharp corners hidden by red                                   L I P S T I C K. .                                 

// it’s always been so weird to me that the fandom as a whole tends to ignore or disregard bruce’s mental illness tbh

It’s so painfully obvious and absolutely textbook. And I think I remember reading someone else’s meta in which they made an Excellent point, pointing out that much of the fandom seems to think that the loss of his parents is the only trauma Bruce ever suffered, that he filled up his Trauma Quota that day and that none of the other terrible things that have happened to him are allowed to faze him. See: Losing one of his best friends, losing his son, Bab’s paralysis, and on and on and on. Those are absolutely traumatic events, and not only that, but harsh mirrors of his original trauma.
