these two's siblinghood is adorable and deserves more love. The Waynes arent the only ones who can have found family

One of them has gotten served a summons at least once. It's not all shoot-outs after all, sometimes they're getting a smoothie in-costume or just talking to an informant or witness.

Also i think the baby's parents would claim any of the Batfam *except* Batman. No one has missed the way he's always turning up with new youths under his wing.They wouldnt want to risk Batman making their child a vigilante protege.

Spoiler, Nightwing, etc don't have sidekicks.

Fun fact: If someone in Gotham doesn't want their baby's father to have a legal claim over the child, instead of leaving the father's name blank on the birth certificate they'll list one of the Batfam.

Why wouldn't they? What's going to happen? Is some cop going to walk up to Red Hood mid shootout and demand he submit to a paternity test? Is a judge going to demand Nightwing get visitation rights? You want to tell Spoiler there's no way she's the father of 5 kids?

Worst case scenario, Batman pays child support

Things that are true:

Bruce got a back injury

Brucie is dramatic on purpose

corsets are medical acceptable as back braces

straight line/ A line corset (corsets that emphasis a “masculine” figure rather then a hour glass “feminine” one) are a thing that exists

look!

does anyone have an explanation for this collossal bit of stupidity? Obviously this chick can run around with extremely distinctive, identifying leg tattoos if she wants to, and show them even when she's masked. If she wants to not have a secret identity, cool.

But if Tim as a civilian is seen with this extremely distinctive person that also works with and hangs around Robin, isn't he just begging for someone to make the connection and blow his secret identity too? like same hair, same height/build isn't enough on its own but when you add a shared connection with a vigilante that's seen with Robin then yeah, it would definitely raise suspicions.

are these tattoos invisible or something? else this makes them both seem stupidly careless :/

what do u think the in-universe superhero rpf scene is like anyway. is there like, drama about it. bcos i could see ppl viewing it less like writing rpf about actors or musicians and more like idk writing rpf about politicians? not a 1:1 comparison but u know they’re public figures not for entertainment purposes

do ppl think it’s inappropriate or invasive to write fic speculating about superhero’s secret identities. do people have wildly agreed upon ‘real names’ for superheroes. is it like ‘oh yeah someone wrote a really popular fic that named the Flash ‘Stefan’ in 2006 so now that’s what we all call him’. 

do ppl who write superhero rpf get accused of ‘glamourising vigilantism’

Tim/Kon Soulmate AU where your soulmate’s name appears on your wrist when they’re born, but Kon (who hasn’t been given this name yet) comes out of the tube all ‘I’m Superman’  so Superman is written on Tim’s wrist and the two boys haven’t even met yet so everyone is like-

Clark, who definitely has Lois’s name on his wrist: 😬

Lois, who definitely has Clark’s name on her wrist:  👀

Bruce, looking at the man who is 20+ years older than his teenage son:  🙃

Tim, who did not sign up for this: 😐

Kon, fresh out of the tube and fuckin up Metropolis: 

I’m Superman

(later on, the Superman on Tim’s wrist turns to Superboy and eventually Kon-El, much to everybody’s relief)

I love every proposed reason that J’onn J’onnz wouldn’t know that Billy is actually a kid, but let me add:

Bruce, thinking about his special edition model car kit that he just got a confirmation email about: aww yiss toy car time!

Clark, thinking about taking Jon to a baseball game: ~buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks, I don’t care if~

Diana, thinking about the cartoon she was watching before the meeting so rudely interrupted her: I hate you all. I want to go home.

Vic, thinking about a meme he saw four days ago: can’t laugh it’s a League meeting can’t laugh

Wally, thinking about the seventeen things he wants for dinner: I can have a little treat. I’ve been good. I can have a treat.

Zatanna, thinking about math to try to stay awake: I want a giant teddy bear. I want to sleep on its snuggly tummy.

Arthur, thinking about how his shirt is inside out: they can tell they can all tell well fuck you all of your costumes are even uglier!

Ollie, thinking about the mean messages he found when hacking into his own company servers: what counts as cyberbullying

Each new Green Lantern, thinking about the traditions of the Lanterns before them: I won’t do it’s peer pressure I won’t do it

J’onn, reading Billy’s mind: He has normal concerns that are the same as the concerns of everyone else in the League.

Batman // Constantine

[nice-tights]

I know the popular take is Batman's rogues getting their butts handed to them by Bruce Wayne, and I'm not belittling that, because that's really funny for all stated reasons?

But how about a new take: most of Batman's rogues call him off limits, because they find out he is their benefactor, when/if they try to reform?

Mr Freeze won't touch him because when he's in Arkham, Bruce is the one who finances the research to help Nora Fries.

Poison Ivy won't touch him because he had been the one supplying her with plants, while in prison.

Harley won't touch him because he's just a great guy an' gotham needs guys like that.

Riddler won't touch him because he was the secret backer that time Eddie tried to open a detective agency.

Croc won't touch him because he's one of the few people who ever talks to him like a person.

Deadshot refuses any hits on him because he found out Wayne does a lot of secret work for people down on their luck who made bad mistakes.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a LOT about how Bruce Wayne pretty clearly goes non-verbal when emotional/distracted/stressed. Reduced to grunts, poorly thought out actions, or inappropriate statements (usually in the form of commands).

Shutdowns are a valid way to deal with being overwhelmed. His, however, are destructive. He needs to learn how to work through them in a healthier manner.

-

I REALLY want a Bruce who gets out his phone and writes down what he’s trying to say. Where people who care about him go and sit down, waiting the 5 minutes he needs to craft a response, understanding that the effort he’s putting in is a sign of caring.

I want a Bruce who makes it clear that he needs transition time. That he can’t talk to people while researching on the computer, but if it’s something important, give him a minute or two and he’ll get off and focus on you. A Bruce who recognizes that even though cases ARE important, his family/friends are also important, and he needs to trust them when they say he should switch focus.

A Bruce who turns their nightly medical check-ins into time to hear his kids’ thoughts, because he knows he’ll start hyper-focusing the minute he starts writing his report, so he needs to schedule time for them first.

A Bruce who trains himself into purely defensive physical reactions when he shuts down - protecting himself and those with him, but not attacking until he can make plans again. Who trains himself out of using deadly weapons when his opponent is affecting his judgement - no bladed or explosive weapons when they have hostages and he’s panicking, or they’ve threatened his kids, etc.

A Bruce who makes scripts for when he’s on patrol and needs to talk down villains, or calm down victims. Who includes script writing in his evening prep - making sure he’s ready for likely outcomes to his current cases. Who, whenever he can, has someone listening in over coms, so if things go off script, or he freezes up, he can get a prompt.

-

I don’t want a Bruce that gets better by learning how to communicate neurotypically.

I want one who needs to find adaptive strategies. Who has to grudgingly accept that he has limits, and learn to navigate them. Who learns that making things easier for himself makes many things easier for others, because he hurts people less.

I want to see him grow in the ways I’m trying to grow.

People fear the day the Red Hood loses control. The day he doesn't stop himself from pulling the trigger, the day he no longer differentiates the sinners from the damned.

People fear the day Red Robin loses control. He doesn't have the same moral code as the rest of the Bats, he isn't above lying and stealing and forcing like they are. People fear the day that goes too far, the day he crosses the invisible line he's drawn.

People fear the day Robin loses control. The day he sends his katana through someone's neck, the day he doesn't listen when Batman tells him to stop.

What people don't understand is that there is nothing to fear from them. They never have to worry about the day that Red Hood snaps, because it will not come. He is too short of a stick to break more than twice, after all. They don't have to worry about Red Robin, he isn't toeing that line they think he's drawn. He's well within his own boundaries, even if they are different than Batman's. He's seen too many futures where he crept too close to the edge and fell to the bottom to risk it. People don't have to fear the day Robin's blade cuts too deep, it won't. Robin is a child who is learning the value of life, he will not treat it with such disdain again.

No, people fear the wrong Bats.

Because Nightwing is the one they should be wary of. Nightwing, with his bright smiles that hide so much anger and hurt, and his jokes that conceal hatred and despair. Nightwing, with his fatal grace and his soft sharpness. Nightwing is the one whose breaking point people should fear. Because he is constantly balancing on a knife's edge, cheerful demeanor and charming banter just barely containing the most dangerous person in the room. The pressure on his shoulders is seconds from breaking the facade in half, exposing something you don't want to meet. If Nightwing loses control, you won't know it until it's too late and you're gasping for breath, wondering how everything went so wrong.

Because that disarming smile is the breastplate in the armor of his morals, and if anything gets past that armor.... Gods help us all.
