Hello!! I adore your brutalia fics so wanted to ask what are your opinions about a more obsessed and darker brutalia? Divorced ex's but they're still unhealthy attached to each other & actively trying to ruin the other person's life while also having kinky sex.
hehehe thank you so much!! Youāre very kind š©·
Let me say that even if I consider myself a very romantic writer, and I usually tend to write brutalia as a happy married couple, I loveee this idea šš
Meanwhile I think Bruce can be very twisted and possessive, I personally think Taliaās very much more vicious than him, if she really wants to xD Not to the point sheās trying to actually ruin Bruceās life, but more likeā¦ keeping him into her lash. Convincing herself that heās still obsessed with her, even if he tries still to dismiss herāand meanwhile it hurts, deeply, I think the strike at her ego is enough for her to want to prove Bruce wrong. To drive him mad, until his hands shake and he sets his jaw close, his shoulders tense and gaze heated. Until he tears her clothes away and makes her silent.
Buuut two can play like this. Maybe Talia will visit Damian at the mansion and lay on whichever shit the midia will be talking currently about Bruce, whatever pretty actress he had on his arms last night, and Bruce just lets himself be trashed on, until heās bending Taliaās across olā Thomas Wayneās desk, murmuring, āarenāt you a jealously thing, Princess? We arenāt even married anymoreā. The pain is there, sharp, but turns dull as Bruce pounds on her. Then, again, spread over the Batcomputerās keyboard, on the top of his tights at his office in the Wayneās Tower, before patrol at the kitchenās counterā¦
So, itās complicated. Bruce is very good at hiding his feelings, but from her. Thereās something into Talia that make him shaky, almost unsure. Bare, as he hadnāt one single day of training in his life. So he keeps playing into her game, again and again and again. Let her strike on him, let her drawn blood from his back with her teeth and nails. And in return, heāll always make sure to leave a handful of bruises at Taliaās neck, high enough she has to wear high-collared if she wants to cover them; bruises at her waist, at her thighs, everywhere he can manage to. If theyāre in public, sometimes at one rooftop, sometimes hid behind a bookshelf, heāll tower her with his body to keep her hidden from unwanted eyes. Will keep her clothes half on, so sheās not exposed to anyone but when in his room. When he can pretend Talia is still his, his wife, his to keep.
I feel like *both* of them have a lot of communication struggles. So they just accept their relationship as it is, full of unsaid things and hurt, even if both of them are still holding dearly onto the remaining of their doomed love. Talia will never ask more of Bruce, ashamed still of the last time she thought Bruce would keep, would love her, and Bruce wonāt ask Talia to give up more of her freedom to stick with him; Talia thinks sheās but a pretty thing Bruce keeps close because of their son and likes to fuck sometimes, and Bruce thinks the only thing he still deserves from Talia is her hate. And heāll keep with this sickening play they have been playing so far as long as sheāll have him; until thereās someone better than him.
(Aside from the kink sex, I really like that aspect of doomed love, gothic lovers of Brutalia and I donāt really have much headcanons that went really dark on themāat least with just the two of them involved ;) But!~)
(If you want a more happy ending, tho, I think that, at some point, theyāre just fighting each other for ridiculous reasons (āCannot you see Damianās wrinkled clothes, Bruce? You donāt even know how to take care of our child, honestlyā) just so they can have their little roleplay that someone from the family have to step in because, āyes, Bruce, every goddman villian and civilian in this city know youāre ponding Talia in some rooftop and no one wants to stumble on you two anymore, get a grip.ā)
