Broke: danny runs away from bruce wayne because he reminds him of Vlad (bad, overused, fundamentally misunderstands Bruce’s character as a whole for a shit joke)
Woke: bruce wayne doesnt remind danny of vlad masters, but of his best friend sam manson
black hair? check ✅
jewish? check ✅
richer than god? check ✅
gothic? well, mister wayne isnt himself but he lives in the most gothic city on earth so quasi-check ✅
loudly and proudly an activist for various rights including environmental and womens' rights? check ✅
im tired of the "oh danny runs away from bruce because he's rich and reminds him of vlad" give me a danny who actually likes bruce because he reminds him of his awesome kickass best friend who is also stupidly rich
like i’ve been told about the whole “oh fruit loop joke” before and i still think its a cheap, shallow joke if i’ve ever heard one that flanderizes Bruce’s character to an impressive degree. Vlad and Bruce are only comparable in the same sense that they’re both rich and Bruce adopts kids — but he isn’t doing it because of the “adoption addiction” joke, he’s doing it because he sees himself in the kids he adopts and he wants to give them better than he did. Vlad wants Danny as his son to spite Jack, they are not remotely comparable beyond that.
Like, beyond that too i highly doubt vlad masters gives his employees benefits like bruce wayne does. who canonically hires reformed villains and has various branches of medical, industrial, technology, etc in his company in order to help the people of gotham. does Vlad Masters run charities, soup kitchens, etc?? is Vlad contributing to the community? No, no he isnt.

dp x dc prompt #54
When Danny was first given the opportunity to make a public persona when he came to live in Gotham, he was a little bit concerned. How was he supposed to come up with an entire elaborate character to act as all the time. Then he remembered the time that Vlad called him a rabid badger when he got especially angry and a genius idea came into existence.
When the press gathered around to interview and write about the newest Wayne adoption, they thought they had seen it all already. The last new child had tried to skewer one of the unsuspecting interns after all. When the teenager didn’t even get all the way out of the car before punching someone standing too close and snarling at him, several considered filing their resignation letters on the spot. The pay wasn’t worth this.

When I tell you my life is a fucking comedy, I'm gonna have my first therapy appointment after 6 years of unresolved issues (half of them sound straight out of a silly cartoon), the exact day of dannypocalypse, looking life if Finn McNamara cut my hair, without having had a full night of sleep in weeks because the ceiling of my room is broken, leaking and getting moldy. I half expect the therapist to look like this

TW for this post, talking about suicide in Dead Poets Society
-
-
-
For anyone else who has read books like “All The Bright Places”, “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower”, “The Virgin Suicides” or “If We Were Villaind”, then you probably know the theme/debate of who suffered more from the suicide, the victim of it, or the people left behind and I kinda want to explore that in Dead Poets Society.
Neil is clearly out leading man, you’ve gotta love him, he’s one of those characters that everyone wishes to know in real life, full of passion and promise and humour. Neil connects with the audience by feeling real, by making mistakes and getting into trouble and having very real problems. The movie focuses on him and the other poets for around 1hour 30min.
I remember the first time I watched it, when Neil shot himself I thought that would be the curtain call, THE END, no more story to tell- so I was shocked and mildly comforted by the fact that there was another 30min of everyone’s lives after the fact. I think this fact is what springs to mind the debate I’ve seen a lot before of “who suffered more” but I’ve never seen the argument happen over a piece of media that has real substance and meat on its bones to lend to the debate.
I’ll explore all of my previous examples to show my point:
“All The Bright Places” - the first sort of “fandom” I’ve seen think about this. The book follows Violet and Finch, both suicidal, one lives, one dies. This story, unlike Dead Poets Society, essentially ends after the death of Finch. There is maybe five minutes of reading dedicated to Violet’s reaction to the funeral, but not much else.
“The Perks Of Being A Wallflower” - This example will be slightly different from the others. Charlie’s previous best friend did kill himself, but it’s neither the focus nor mentioned very much in the novel. The book does follow Charlie’s suicidal ideation, loneliness, and sexual assault, and a large part of what we see in the novel is the people around Charlie reacting to Charlie’s pain. This book had the best debate on the matter (I think anyways) but Charlie is very much alive, he is able to heal.
“The Virgin Suicides” - Honestly, not a good example because do the times it was written in and it’s attitude towards mental health (or rather, the characters attitudes) but it felt necessary to mention. The book shows very little sympathy for the girls milking themselves, it’s always stated very monotonously what they do to themselves and how it ends with a big emphasis on the parents and neighbours etc left behind. Given the time and attitudes, however, it’s seen as a sort of curse, so the idea isn’t exactly explored well.
“If We Were Villains” - Most of the book is spent in flashback, with the end revealing that to Oliver that James committed suicide, it’s basically a very large nostalgia trip with a fun little ribbon of heartbreak at the end that doesn’t get the chance to be truly explored.
You may notice here that most of the suicides, or metaphors for death of oneself, happen at the end of the novels, it isn’t a main focus and is usually followed by THE END.
DPS has no problem exploring consequences and actively mentions consequences throughout the novel and movie, of how A will lead to B.
I don’t really know where I land with DPS and the “who suffered more?” debate. It’s hard to measure pain or sadness, they all suffer for what happens to Neil, they all grieve it, too. DPS has the most substance to talk about, but it feels almost inappropriate too. Yes, Neil was the one lose his life, his future, his love and his passion, his story was cut short (I FUCKING HATE MR PERRY) so, of course, I’m compelled to say Neil suffered most, because frankly, he did. But there’s also the aspect of “those who were left behind”, it seems Todd and Charlie feel almost a bit of betrayal towards losing Neil, and the others become subdued and lost with grief, you can feel that there is no warmth anymore. There’s also Mr Keating, who sobs over the society verse book, who probably feels some responsibility even though it was Neil who mislead him.
Everyone’s lives are changed, main by Mr Fucking Wise Guy Perry.
It can be considered an inappropriate debate to have, but it’s also morbidly interesting. Neil’s life ends, but the others are changed forever, and since you can’t measure suffering by a true meter, it’s hard to say who hurt more, not that it’s something that should be debated with vigour anyways.
I know I probably left a lot of important relationship stuff out. Would love to hear other thoughts on this, also this is just my opinion! Completely fine to disagree:)

//tw for Neil's death and discussions of drowning//
Todd never learned how to swim
His parents never cared to teach him, it seemed like they lacked in all qualities of parenting unless it pertained to pushing him to the brink of burn out in academics. It was something to be expected when he lived in the shadow of his older brother, paling in comparison to every aspect of the two. Jeffery seemed to always be five steps ahead, by the time Todd had even grown old enough approach the old lake on his own Jeffery's free time was eaten up by extra classes and sports, leaving Todd on his own.
And he tried, he'd taken a deep breath and slipped below the cool waters just to try to prove to himself he could do something on his own. Prove that there was something more about him but the lake seemed to have a penchant for empty chested individuals much like Todd, the water swarming him and pouring into his lungs like an barren jar tossed into a lake.
He kicked and gasped for something more than the murky waters surrounding him on all sides but all he tasted was clay on his tongue and the blinding sand in his eyes. Hands reached out towards the shards of light cutting through the dark waves just above his head. The catfish watched him from the bottom, their god-like eyes and opened mouths filled with awe as the waited for him to join them at the muddy bottom.
And just as the thought that this was it crossed his mind, just as every bit of fight fled his body and he could feel the scales against his skin, he was pulled back above the surface. He coughed up the water in his lungs and through bleary eyes looked up to be met with the harrowingly disappointing look on his father's face, a haunting look. He could draw the very look he was given blind.
They never asked what happened and Todd was half convinced they thought he did it on purpose.
Todd became wary of lakes, he didn't trust what laid beneath the mirrored surface even when the blue skies made it look so inviting. He watched his steps while on old and unsteady bridges, crossed his fingers whenever he balanced on fallen tree trunks over rivers and never once tried to swim again.
Years later he's practicing lines on the old dock at Welton, watching his every agonizing step backwards as Neil approaches him fast, spitting out quotes with a hypnotizing passion. Each step closer and the dock dips unsteadily on the water, rising and falling as Todd's heart beat wildly in his chest. The edge is coming closer to his feet, his boots nearly hanging off the wooden planks and Neil is still coming at him, mind completely lost in the weaving of his character through carefully practiced words.
And then they're nose to nose, boot to boot, and the unsteady dock dipping dangerously to one side, threatening to send the two toppling over into the chilly water. Neil was smiling like an utter madman and after taking a deep breath in, Todd noticed his hand was clutching at the front of his coat, keeping him steady, keeping him in place and above the water. His face felt hot and suddenly they needed to break apart and sit shoulder to shoulder.
They watched the calm water reflecting the soft clouds in it's face, the autumn leaves skimming the surface and the tiny ripples running each one makes as it lands, disrupting the otherwise peaceful painting of the sky it had made. Todd's heart still was beating so fast, even more so when Neil leaned closer to his side.
"It's pretty, isn't it?" He whispered beside him.
Todd looked down into the water, finding the mirrored version of himself looking back up at him. And Neil, Neil beside him staring at him with the same eyes he looked out at the lake with. A certain fondness as if he'd known this all his life, it'd carved out it's own special place in his heart.
Todd cleared his throat awkwardly. "Yeah, yeah it is." He couldn't ignore the way his chest was fluttering with butterflies.
A week later Neil kissed him out on the same dock with the reflection of the moon in the water as their only witness.
The months move by and soon enough Todd is in bed, feeling as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head as he processes what Charlie had told him. Suddenly, he was back in the water, he can't breath and everything was closing in on him. The light that was so close in reach has been washed away by the darkening waves.
He didn't remember how he got outside, the cold air sinking it's teeth in his sensitive flesh and freezing the tears on his rosy cheeks. He walked aimlessly, he didn't know where he was going but his feet are carrying him towards that godforsaken dock. His blood ran hot, threatening to erupt from his veins if he doesn't turn around, not even throwing himself into the powdery white snow tames the feverish agony running through him.
Then the wooden planks, covered in the blindingly white snow, are beneath his feet and he's screaming out into the emptiness of the lake till his voice ran raw and his lungs gave out. So much sat on his tongue but he couldn't get it out through his sobs, tears freezing to his face just as quickly as they had left his eyes.
And then for a moment he stands in the cold oblivion, staring out at the frozen over lake in quiet contemplation.
Todd prayed that maybe if he stepped out onto the frozen expanse of the lake it would shatter beneath his swaying legs and swallow him whole. That maybe the icy water would fill his lungs and just maybe that would numb the agonizing ache of his heart.
Maybe he'd finally feel less empty if his chest was filled with water.
