#episode24

I came across this for the latest update of the Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (episode 24), in which a young Damian struggles to make a friend but then a classmate (with auburn hair and brown eyes) complimented his art.

I couldn’t help but think that in another universe, Brooklyn Stark and Damian Wayne (from my fanfic Stones and Glass Houses, not canon) might not have started out as enemies by family name or assassin allegiances. This is what that would’ve look like if they’d met as kids in Gotham!

I couldn’t resist posting about it, it made me smile for a long while! Funny little coincidence!

Not gonna lie, this scene was ridiculous. I do not like comparing this series to the manga or the previous anime, but when Tohru slightly tripped on the rooftop, I honestly thought it was overdramatic for no reason. SHE’S BEEN ON THE ROOFTOP BEFORE!! Honestly, her whole speech could have been just as effective (and it was in the manga and the old series) even if she was standing at the place where Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure stood watching. Anyway, her outfit in this scene kind of reminded me of this even though it’s not related:

Tohru: I’m scared. Even though I know that’s your voice, it doesn’t sound like you. You’re in a form I’ve never seen you before and it scares me. But scared or not, I want to understand. If you need to talk, I’ll listen. If you need to be selfish, I’ll let you. I want to help you the way you’ve helped me. If you’re feeling hurt or scared or weak, I want you to tell me so I can face it with you. Because I want to keep living together. I want to eat with you, study with you, worry with you. All of those things… I just want to stay with you, Kyo!

Kyo: Even back then, I knew it was stupid. A kid’s dream…that would never come true because who would ever say something like that to me? That’s what I thought.. until…Tohru…You showed up. You showed up and then things began to change. You started to melt away the ugly feelings and dark thoughts inside me… bit by bit…day by day.. Why would somebody like you want to stay by my side..? Why would you cry for me? How can I ask you to? I know I shouldn’t…I don’t have any right…I know that it’s a mistake…For you to be here with me.. But still, I find myself wanting to treasure you. To stay with you forever. I can’t help but wish…
