>>3388633the issue is the people around him
>mom: barely functional, not all that nice to him and outright abusive in the past>Thomas Wayne: would have nothing to do with him, maybe hate sex? prior abuse years ago?>Bruce Wayne: would have to pull an AU to have any real interaction there (i.e. Arthur finds him the night of the riots)>Alfred: he did not like Arthur at all>Randall: mean coworker who fucked him over, hate sex?>Murray: not a swell guy, potential for fucked up sex? daddy/son dynamic?that leaves his neighbor but she's got a little girl and we actually never really learn much about her at all.
what I mean is, there is a LOT of market for hatesex/mean sex/fucked up sex and hardly any market for kind sex let alone platonic content.
you could always do a self insert or an original character (OC) but holy fucking cringe, I don't think I've ever read a fic with either of those that was good.
Arthur's nicest people around him are his neighbor and the midget guy. That's pretty much it.
