The batkids decide to hop on the trend.
Dick, walking as Steph records: We’re vigilantes. Of course we have to be over dramatic.
(Cut to Nightwing back flipping off of Wayne tower)
Tim: were vigilantes. Of course we have issues with caffeine.
(Cut to a video of Tim as Red Robin snoring while hanging from a grappling line. Batman can be seen in the background facepalming.)
———
Damian: No.
Tim: oh come on, Robin, we’re all doing it.
Damian: I refuse to partake in such idiotic videos.
Tim: (while Damian is still behind him) We’re vigilantes. Of course we get to punch people without getting in trouble.
Damian: actually—-
Tim: Robin, you’re supposed to play along—
Damian: I am not going to spread false information—
Steph, interrupting: well, I’m not one of Batman’s sons so he legally can’t yell at me.
Tim: wanna bet?
(Cut to Batman scolding all three of them about the improper use of force)
—-
Duke: we’re vigilantes. Of course we go to Batburger.
(Cut to Duke happily eating a Batburger meal, and playing with a Signal toy)
Duke: what? I’m allowed to have hobbies.
——
Steph: we’re vigilantes. Of course we can scare anyone we want to. Right, Black Bat?
Cass: (nod)
(The next series of videos is a compilation. The first is Superman being scared, followed by Green Lantern, Flash, Cyborg, Starfire, Dick, Tim, and a failed attempt to startle Wonder Woman. Cass isn’t even upset about not being able to scare the woman, she accepts the defeat with grace.)
——-
Dick, Tim, and Steph: we’re vigilantes.
Dick: I’ve gotten stranded on the moon. Don’t ask.
Tim: I got lost in hell.
Steph: I accidentally followed Green Lantern into space.
Tim: what? When?
Steph: turns out if you hug a Green Lantern really tightly, their life support on their ring will support you too
Dick: yknow, Batman shouldn’t find out about this-
(Cut to Batman’s lecture about the proper use of protective gear when going to space)
——
Dick: we’re vigilantes. Of course we’re best friends with all of the villains.
(Cut to Red Hood kicking down a door)
Jason: hey (bleep), you’re late to dinner
Dick: (currently tied to a chair and gagged)
Jason: hang on, I’ll help. (Shoots everyone and unties dick) Harley said she’s going to rampage if you’re not there in five minutes.
Dick: Blame these guys, not me! (Jumps through the nearest window, shattering it, and the sound of a grapple is heard)
——
Jason: I’m a crime lord
Dick: and I’m a vigilante
Jason: and you’re ruining my video, (bleep) off. (Shoves Dick out of the frame, ignoring Dick’s muttered cursing) now that we got the riffraff out, let me start over. (Brushes imaginary dirt from hands) I’m a crime lord. Of course Batman fights me every other day. I look forward to the day I can break his kneecaps.
Dick: (shocked) Hood!
Jason: what?
Dick: he’s your dad too!
Jason: yuck, don’t remind me.
——-
Duke: we’re vigilantes. Of course we know all of the gossip. (Very obviously looking around) like for example, Superman has the biggest crush on Bruce Wayne—
Clark, who was obviously eavesdropping: Nonononononono—- (trying to turn the camera off as he darts into the frame. There’s a flash of red, blue and yellow as Duke and Clark fight over the camera)
——
Tim: we’re vigilantes. Of course we visit other cities.
Wally, as Kid Flash: What the (bleep) are you doing in Central City?
Tim: I’m honestly not sure, it’s so bright that I think I’m blind.

Hey if we’re talking about Dean and angels, entirely in good faith I’m sure, you wanna see one of my most personally loathed Dean transgressions?
It’s this bit from season 9:
Tumblr media
[IMG: Dean Winchester with a phone to his ear, facing left, Sam is out of focus in the background of the shot. The captions read “Well, trust me, they’re just monsters with good PR.”]
Tumblr media
[IMG: A man leaning against his car on the side of the road with his phone to his ear, the other side of the conversation. The captions, continued from the previous image, read: “So, if you run into one, torch his ass with holy oil.”]
Tumblr media
[IMG: Later in the same conversation, Dean, leaning back and facing slightly right speaking into his phone. The captions read “And, uh, spread the word.”]
Tumblr media
[IMG: The same as above, Dean continues speaking, the captions now read: “The more hunters that know, the better.”]
I’ve cut for the relevant stuff but that’s Dean’s solution to the problem of a bunch of fallen angels being on earth. Warning hunters about them I get, but this? To Dean angels are monsters with good pr, helping them or even sparing them isn’t in the equation, the solution is to burn them alive with holy oil.
Just to be clear, these are the last words exchanged with Cas on the matter:
Tumblr media
[IMG: Castiel in the foreground looks back at another angel, Hael, who is looking around with concern, holding her harms to her chest and stomach. They are outside, framed next to a dumpster and an outhouse, Castiel is speaking into a payphone. The Captions read “Some are just looking for direction.”]
Tumblr media
[IMG: Dean Winchester holds a cellphone to his ear, listening and looking perturbed, he is in a hospital hallway. The captions, continued from the previous image, read: “Some are just lost.”]
Cas expresses that some of the angels are just lost and confused, that he met one and wants to help her.
Tumblr media
[IMG: Dean in the left half of the frame, looking down, speaking into the phone. The captions read “No Cass, I know you want to help, okay, I do.”]
Dean warns him not to, and I actually like and understand Dean’s point of view here. Dean might understand that Cas cares about the other angels, but he cares a lot more about Cas not getting hurt, and he’s personally seen that some angels are out for his blood, and considering Cas just finished getting tricked by an angel that caused this whole mess I don’t think it’s unreasonable for him to be skeptical of Cas’ judgment here. I mean, no more than his own considering what he’s about to do and also considering, oh yeah, it was Sam and Dean going to Metatron for help that put him back into play in the first place, but this is like understandable and in character. Dean wants Cas to prioritize his own safety, that’s cool.
Tumblr media
[IMG: Castiel, centre frame, looking off to the right, speaking into a payphone, he looks upset. The captions read: “And do what? Just abandon them all?”]
Cas for his part views not helping the angels that he can as wrong, not fighting against them or hurting him, but just not doing everything he can to help. The conversation gets cut off before they can really get into an argument about it, and Cas ultimately takes Dean’s advice and tries to leave Hael and go to the bunker alone.
Now you know and I know that Cas ends up having to kill Hael when she backs him into a corner, despite his attempts to leave peacefully. Dean doesn’t know about that, his last word from Cas is that he wants to help the angels.
Cas has done plenty wrong by heaven, and a lot of what motivates him to help is the weight of that guilt, but his desire to reconcile and repent for his mistakes, and to help the other angels is a well established and consistent trait of his. Dean knows about this, he literally says “I know you want to help.” He just doesn’t care.
Because angels are “monsters with good PR”
anyway this is why I can’t stand it when people claim Cas should’ve trusted Dean with the angel tablet back in season 8. Forget the fact that Kevin literally got kidnapped from the place they were keeping him (and planning to take the angel tablet) two episodes later, Dean himself is not someone who can be trusted with information about angels, not if Cas cares about the well-being of his species, and he does.
Anyway that’s my take on it you’re welcome to disagree obviously, but Imo just because Cas is the poster child for angel massacres doesn’t mean the fact that his best friend seems to consider him and everyone like him to be sub-human isn’t like. An issue.

happy bday! can i request a kurt wagner x batsis?
THANKS ANON! sorry it took so long to write 😓
Awkward first meetings
SUMMARY: When Bruce Wayne finds out his daughter is dating, he demands to meet them. What he doesn't expect is a mutant that looks like, well... a blue demon.
TW: slight mutant slander, body image issues (for kurt this is being blue and stuff), language, use of she/her/hers pronouns, use of Y/N, overprotective batfam.
A/N: batsis's vigilante name is nightingale
Tumblr media
"So what's his name again?"
Y/N sighed. Her family would never let this go, would they?
"I told you a thousand times, Dick, it's Kurt."
Dick frowned.
"Kurt what?"
"You'll find out, I'm not having you do a background check on my boyfriend!" She said, annoyed.
"Why are you so against it?" Jason asked. "If he was a good, normal person, then it wouldn't do any harm. Unless there's something that you want to keep from us."
"I won't tell you, and besides, he'll let you know when he'd ready. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go change my clothes."
Y/N Wayne and Kurt Wagner met about four months ago. She'd finally gotten to meet with her friend, Jean, and was surprised to find that she would finally get to meet the group of people that Jean talked about so much. They consisted of Jean's boyfriend Scott, two girls named Ororo and Jubilee, and three boys: Peter, Warren, and Kurt. He'd asked her out on a date after that, and the rest was history.
Y/N sighed, and put on her sweater. Most likely her brothers would do nothing less than interrogate Kurt.
Suddenly her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Y/N. Vat do I do? Do you just vant me to come and Bamf to your door?" Kurt asked.
She sighed.
"Listen, Blue, if you wanna then go for it. I mean... they'll find out tonight at dinner anyway."
"Alright." Y/N heard a familiar teleporting noise and then a voice.
"Here goes notzing."
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
She heard a bell ring throughout the house, then came downstairs.
Y/N sighed. Hopefully her family wouldn't be stunned.
"Hey, Kurt."
The blue mutant grinned, and then walked up to her.
"Za professor vas a vittle against me coming here, but Jean convinced him," Kurt said.
"Eh, if I needed to I could just bribe him," she said flippantly. Her boyfriend chuckled, then looked at her brothers, who seemed... unsurprised, to be honest.
Jason was the first to speak.
"Of course Y/N/N goes for the metas," he said, laughing.
"Tt, wouldn't he know? F-Batman has a rule against metahumans," Damian said, frowning at the mutant.
"I'm...not a metahuman," Kurt said, looking at them.
"What are you, then?" Steph asked.
"A mutant."
"Look, it doesn't matter, because now he's here, and we can do introductions. Kurt, this is Babs, Dick, Jason, Cass, Steph, Tim, Duke, and Damian. Idiots minus Cass, this is Kurt," Y/N said, motioning to each Bat as she spoke. "And the person you met at the door is Alfred, he's basically our grandpa."
"It's nice to veet you all," Kurt said, smiling nervously.
"Where are you from?" Dick asked.
"Germany."
"Cool, I'm from Romania," he said.
The awkward silence returned, and they were all grateful that Alfred came in before it got too...weird.
"Master Bruce is here, and dinner is finished cooking, so please make your way into the dining room soon."
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
A/N: I literally butchered his accent smh ToT
thanks for the request! sorry it was so short!

Barbara Gordon or Cassandra Cain
i'll try my hand at cass :)
Headcanon A: realistic
cass is someone who needs background noise. a television on or music playing. she has to sleep with a sound machine. not only is it habit to fall asleep to white noise from her time on the street, she just can't stand silence.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
she has seen every episode of dynasty, the 1980s tv series
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
cass was an extremely vocal baby. you see, normal baby milestones like shrieking, crying, cooing squealing, babbling--those come regardless of whether the baby is talked to. because babies are trying to communicate from the moment they're born, and cass? cass was desperate to be heard from the moment she opened her eyes. she didn't fully lose her spoken language and attempts at spoken language until she was 2, when she started to learn that violence was the only way to get an answer for her calls.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
cass and helena first met not as batgirl and huntress, but as cass and helena. when cass first arrived in gotham--after the quake, but before no man's land--cass saw tables with lunchboxes on them in a park. she was hungry, and there was a lot, and she figured they wouldn't miss one. she took one and went to walk away. she was stopped by helena bertinelli. "hey," helena said angrily. "are you stealing that?" you see, the food was there because helena's school was out doing a clean-up post-quake, the lunches were for the kids and teachers to eat after they were done. cass didn't say anything, she couldn't. she knew she could get away with the food, but there was an icky feeling inside from getting caught doing something wrong that was stopping her. helena took a closer look and saw cass's unwashed hair, the holes in her sweater, the scuffs on her shoes and immediately softened. "never mind," helena said. "you look like you need it. here, take it. and take some water too." cass felt fuller than she had in weeks that day. helena spent the afternoon hungry, since they were one lunch short.
cass recognized helena as huntress in no man's land. she didn't have the words to thank her for her help, or to apologize for taking food from her, but she can stop her from going after zsasz, a fight cass knows that helena can't win but leslie might.
years later, tim brings cass over to helena's to help with a mob case. helena doesn't quite understand why cass brings her a sandwich and a bag of chips at first, but cass finally has the words to tell helena what that moment of kindness meant to her.

Hey Gorgeous Daisy! 🌼
Loving the headcanons, especially modern Az! I couldn't make my mind up between my two headcanons asks.
1. Batboys growing up - I love when we get all three boys together and how we have heard about some of their antics growing up, and I do hope we learn more, but what did they get up to after Windhaven, what havoc did they wreck upon Velaris and the rest of the Night Court?
2. Adult Modern Nyx - This headcanons ask is a bit left field but your modern Az got me thinking...??
Please don't feel you need to do both, or either if they don't speak to you. Hope you have had a lovely day. 💗💗
hiiiiiiii, oh I love both. here we go
batboys growing up headcanons
boy, did they get drunk many times, completely shit-faced toppling over each other on their way home from Rita's
"you stepped on my fucking foot, Az."
"you hit my fricking arm, Cass"
and Rhys throwing up over the bridge somewhere in the background
crushing on the same girl, sorry but I can so see them spotting one pretty girl and all deciding that they want to be her boyfriend
and they would make complete fools out of themselves
Rhys would try to make his charm work, saying the cringiest things
"your eyes are like the sun burning down on us, like flames, you know. fire."
Cass would be flexing his muscles, removing his shirt when she is around, just because
and Az, would steal shy glances at her, and then quickly look away, blushing bright red
also I think they would be quite competitive, who can fly the widest? the highest? for the longest?
wingspan measuring
"you are cheating, Cass."
"am no, just because mine is the biggest."
"isn't, now hold your wings still"
Azriel cackling in the background
that is probably for earlier but those three had terrible voice cracks when in puberty, this is a fact
of course they were playboys
and remember that line in acosf – they did it in one room
not their finest moment, but they were closer after this than ever before haha
Cass and Az annoying and distracting Rhys when he had to study for becoming a high lord
they would mock him constantly "look at the little geek, bent over his books the whole day."
"so cute, little high lord, Rhysie."
the two idiots would also playfully poke him with his sword until he has enough, slams his books shut and joins them
at the same time the would also help and support Rhys all the way
and many nights they would spend with him, bent over books
and obviously, they would help him control his powers
letting him take out his anger when everything gets to much on them, sparring with him until the early morning hours
modern adult! Nyx
that is such an interesting request tbh
he would be a little cocky
even in a modern world Rhys and Feyre would be like majors of big cities and quite influential and obviously that make young Nyx a little arrogant at times
but he has inherited his good heart from his parents, so sometimes he just needs a reminder to be humble and then he is grounded
Nyx would be the one who immediately wants a car and motorbike like Az when he is old enough
"look at how cool, uncle Az is!"
so this is what he will get for his eighteenth birthday
and Nyx speeds and Feyre is worried as hell, Rhys as well
but he is also careful
he becomes a social media influencer, yes, posting about art and clothing
family before everything – even when no longer living with his parents he would still spend time with them most days of the week
a very close relationship with his whole family
having a hard time finding a girlfriend, because who really loves him and who just wants him for fame and attention
going to sports games with Cass, watching basketball or hockey
painting and drawing a lot in his free time, hoping to one day be able to sell his art

Donnie: Let's just say that me and Don here are gonna be the winners whether we lose or not.

Raphael shrugging: As long as I can bust some heads in then I honestly don't really care.
April (12): Haha you do realize that you can't bust people's heads in right Raph?
Raphael:.........
April (12): Raph.
Raphael simply: I could if you let me.
Raph leery: You know that we can't do that it's not a brawl it's a voting system.
Raphael not missing a beat: And it can be a voting system for who can kick ass the best! Come on Raph! You can not tell me that you're not curious about the other variants of us and they'd do in a fight you're literally me!
*Casey and Cassandra wheezing in the background while Raph just stares at his smaller counterpart already tired but not denying it*

April (12) putting her recorder away: And please don't forget to cast your votes for your favorite aus! We're looking forward to seeing all your lovely faces tomorrow! Till next time-!!

New Dream Appreciation Week Day 7: Life After Happily Ever After
Tumblr media
∘⟡˖* Do not repost ∘⟡˖*
Find rambles about the drawing and process of getting here under the read more!
Thanks to @autumn-sundrop, @the-writer1988, @seadrreams for organizing this appreciation week!
I'll admit I was done at this point, but you can't leave it at one to go! Nope, no, no no.
And with some brainstorming, I remembered a chat with a friend to do with the eventual inevitable wedding and decided to do that in this very, background focused piece.
Minor spoilers for Sisters AU waaay down the line in blue.
Differences? Oh, Rapunzel still had her hair? Interesting. I refrain from commenting.
Cassandra is walking her down the isle while Frederic sits with Arianna? If you've read the series, you know why Rapunzel did not want him walking her down to aisle to marry Eugene. Frederic wasn't a good father-in-law for Eugene and Rapunzel STILL holds that against him for some stuff.
Plus, in this AU Cass pretty much raised Rapunzel, it makes sense.
Anyway, enough of that... It's done!
Program: Procreate
Tracked Time: 1 hours and 41 minutes
I do feel like I'm ending on a weak point, but that's normal because I tried (except for Day 2) to do them in order so I'd have the max amount of time. Which means I got more exhausted and they kinda got worse as the days went on?
I think the lesson here is do the first and the lasts ones first so that you can start and end on a high point!
But hey, it's my first time partaking in this sort of community event so it's a learning curve!
I'm just happy I managed to do something for every day.
And I look forward to partaking in more appreciation weeks in this fandom!

I do want Steph to go back to being Spoiler, the unique hero identity she created herself, rather than get shuffled into legacy roles that usually are someone’s first mantle. Stop trying to cram her into pre-established roles when Spoiler is already awesome.
But if they’re not gonna have her return to being Spoiler? You know what arc I want? Looking at how she got the Robin & Batgirl roles?
Making her own Robin costume and volunteering after Tim (who, at the time, she was angry with for something that wasn’t his fault) lost the Robin job because his dad was a controlling jerk? Taking the Batgirl suit without anyone’s permission when Cass was out of town trying to find herself again after being brainwashed?
I want an arc where someone else takes up the Spoiler mantle without permission. I want some random kid in Gotham or the suburbs who used to see Spoiler fighting, or saw her sneaking around to plant clues, notice that hey, no one’s seen Spoiler in a while! Did something happen to her? Oh no, there’s a crime being planned, someone has to stop it! And make themselves a purple caped get-up and go inexpertly kick butt or awkwardly leave clues for other capes to find.
Stephanie is a very confident, go-getter person, but one of her majorly destructive faults is jealousy. When she thinks someone is taking away something that she sees as “hers” she gets furious, and lashes out.
This would be a way to keep the Spoiler mantle active in comics and give Stephanie a character growth arc. Force her to confront her past actions that, intentionally or unintentionally, hurt other people. Make her take a hard look at her sense of entitlement, and at her motivations for fighting crime.
Let her be the more experienced hero seeing a kid who doesn’t know what they’re doing get into trouble yet refuse to stop when she tries to drill into their head how dangerous this is (with Barbara & Bruce laughing their asses off in the background).
Have Stephanie admit she doesn’t know how to handle this, and go to her friends for help. Cass & Tim are both pretty forgiving people, but they’re also not down for hypocrisy and can be blunt as hell. They can ask hard questions. They have enough history with her that she can’t blow them off as not knowing what they’re talking about.
Are you really worried about this kid’s safety? Do you disagree with their motives? Are they younger than when you started? Why would that bother you when Tim & Damian starting younger never bothered you? When other capes said you weren’t trained enough, you sought out training, so why are you just discouraging this kid instead of offering to teach them?
Why do you think there’s something wrong with another person taking up the Spoiler mantle, Batgirl?
I think it’d be an emotionally crunchy arc.

Could you perhaps do a FNAF request, where it's Gabriel x Evan, but it's a wholesome cute situation(nothing weird), where Gabriel awkwardly gives Evan makeshift flowers.
Hey, this is my first work on Tumblr so please be patient with me. I was a little unsure what to do so I’m sorry if this isn’t what you wanted. What is canon about Fnaf is so very little and so it was kind of difficult for me to try write this. Gabriel and Evan are not characters I typically write in stories. Let alone a story solely about them. This is my first story I have ever written with Gabriel and possibly my second with Evan (if Evan was in one he was a background character.) This was such a cute request that I knew I just had to write it! I know this might not be entirely what you asked for. This story kind of took a mind of it’s own which is something that has not happened to me before. I hope you enjoy what I came up with. If you don’t like it, let me know and I will try again. Thank you so much Anon for the request and without further ado…. Makeovers and Makeshift Flowers

Fluff With Maybe a Tiny Bit of Angst
Can be Read Platonically or Romantically (They are Children)
Gabriel was used to life now. Play around with the night guard from 12 A.M to 6 A.M, learn new choreography from 6 A.M till 10 A.M, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza opens at 10 in the morning and he has to preform from open till 12 P.M. At 12 P.M he does meet and greets, from 2 until 4 he/Freddy has to sing and do birthday celebrations, 4 until 6 he does some more meet and greets or hangs out with birthday kids, at 6 he preforms with the band, and finally at 10 the place closes and Gabriel is left to do what he would like until it all restarts at 6 again.
It went like that for a while, until Gabriel met Evan.
Gabriel was messing with the night guard like normal and he stumbled across an old room. It was run down and quite gross. The paint was chipping off the walls, there were spiderwebs in every corner, there were boxes filled with random things that were old, rusting, and should have been thrown away years ago. There was trash and mold almost all over and where there wasn't mold there was fungus. Overall it was a mess.
It was so messy that Gabriel almost missed the dark purple colored bear. As Gabriel turned he saw something move out of the corner of his eye. He turned back to face it and walked forward. As he walked, he heard whispering however he couldn't make out what was being said. Once he reached the source of the movement and sound, he realized it was a dark purple bear. He didn't recognize it from anywhere.
"Hello?" Gabriel said to the machine, cautiously.
The machine looked up at him and he saw its eyes. He realized that the robot was like him. Stuck. He was stuck here in this pizzeria and he noticed that the machine in front of him was too.
Gabriel (against his better judgement) got out of the suit leaving it where he once stood and knelt down. He tried again to talk to the animatronic he now knew to be possessed. "My name is Gabriel. I'm a ghost too. What's your name?"
Gabriel didn't hear anything for a while and he was about to give up until he heard a small voice whisper "Evan....my name is Evan."
Gabriel would have missed it if he wasn't used to having to strain his ears to hear young shy children. "Hello, Evan, what are you doing back here by yourself? Are you always alone?" Gabriel asked.
"I-....I wa-was-wasn't by my-myself. Ca-Cass-idy was here wi-with me. Sh-she l-left to go t-talk to th-the night g-guard. I-I'm no-not al-ways a-a-alone. Ju-just some-sometimes. Li-like when Ca-Cassidy isn't he-here," Evan said.
Gabriel noticed that Evan had some difficulty talking, but unlike everyone else in Evan's life, Gabriel didn't make fun of him. Gabriel didn't tease Evan or make fun of him and Evan liked that. He liked that Gabriel didn't make fun of him.
Gabriel and Evan talked for a while. They both were having fun laughing and cracking jokes. Gabriel and Evan both couldn't remember a time that they had had that much fun.
After that day, Gabriel started to go to that old room that Evan was in. Gabriel felt bad for Evan that the room that he (Evan) had to live in looked like that.
One day while Evan and Gabriel were talking, Gabriel found out that Evan loved the outdoors. Evan missed being outside and looked around at nature.
Evan saying that started something and after Gabriel left to go learn a new song they would preform that day, Gabriel thought of the perfect solution.
Gabriel hated that Evan was stuck in that old, musty, moldy, fungus-filled, disgusting room and finally Gabriel had found the perfect way to fix it.
Gabriel was now searching for the two people that could help him with his plan. Cassidy and Susie.
Susie wasn't as hard to track down considering Gabriel was with her and the rest of the gang all the time. Cassidy however was tricky.
However luck seemed to be on his side because he had managed to find Cassidy and Susie in the same room, at the same time.
The room was empty besides Gabriel, Susie, Cassidy, and a couple tables and chairs.
"Do you two have a minute? I need some help with something," Gabriel asked the girls.
They both turned to him and asked him to continue.
"I-...," he began although stopped himself to sigh, took a breath, and then continued by saying, "Evan is in that messy, gross, disgusting room all by himself. He hates it in there, but he doesn't complain. I need your help because I want to fix it up for him, but I need help doing it so could you both please help me?"
Susie answered almost immediately by saying, "Of course I'll help!"
Cassidy however took a little bit before she finally decided on an answer. "Fine, but what do you want us to do?" Cassidy asked.
"I want you to distract him while me and Susie set up the room," Gabriel answered.
They all agreed. Cassidy walked off to find Evan and once she did she spent the day entertaining him and keeping him from seeing the room. Meanwhile Susie and Gabriel cleaned up the room.
"So, what do you plan on putting in here once it's clean?" Susie asked.
"Well, Evan loves nature and outdoorsy things so I was thinking I would decorate it with something to do with that," Gabriel said.
"Hmmm, I think I have an idea," Susie said.
~TIME SKIP~
The room that was so gross, moldy, disgusting, vile, and overall unpleasant to be in was now transformed into what looked like a beautiful outdoor, woodsy type place. The walls were painted green and had trees painted carefully on it. The floor was now wooden and had a nice grassy-green rug. There were chairs and a table to color at. There were picture books stacked nicely on a shelf with an empty photo album to put pictures in. There was a new light put in that was in the shape of a tree as well as led lights strung around the room in the shape of Freddy's characters. There were a couple pictures on the walls. And finally there were makeshift flowers all over.
Gabriel was nervous. He was worried Evan would think it was stupid, awful, or just straight up hate it. In fact he was so worried that he started pacing.
That was until he heard the door open. When it opened he immediately turned so his back was to the wall behind him and his front was towards the door and his hands behind his back.
"Wh-what ha-happ-happened to m-my roo-m?" Evan asked.
"Umm..m-me and Sus-Susie- um, cl-cleaned it up and d-decorated it. I-I'm sorry. D-do you hate it? If you do I-I can fix it. I'm sorry I should have asked I-" Gabriel said sheepishly till the end where he was in a panic before being cut off.
"I-I d-don't hate it. I lo-love it! Tha-thank you," Evan said as he ran and gave Gabriel a huge hug.
Gabriel hugged him back, but was only able to for a couple of seconds until Evan let go and asked, "What's that?"
Gabriel looked for what Evan was talking about until he realized that Evan was taking about the makeshift Flowers and daisy chains in his hands.
Gabriel stepped a couple steps back away from Evan. "O-oh, um, this is, um- I-I know you like flowers and stuff s-so I made some...for you...um, here," Gabriel said while handing Evan the makeshift flowers and daisychains
Evan looked at the flowers for a couple seconds before taking them and giving Gabriel a big hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Evan said.
"It wasn't all me. It was Susie's idea. I just made the-" Gabriel said before being cut off by a kiss on his cheek.
Evan smiled at Gabriel and they both new that what happened to both of them wasn't ideal, but had it not, they wouldn't be where they are now and not Evan nor Gabriel would change it for the world.
Writer’s Note: Evan kissing Gabriel’s cheek can be read romantically however I wrote it as a way of Evan saying he is thankful without using words because in my mind after the bite Evan has trouble talking, communicating, and sometimes even remembering words.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Smoke Screen chapter 10: Mission Complete
The next day, the Earthrealm warriors get ready to leave for home. The Special Forces and the ninjas all gathered for their final goodbyes, and the kahn and her sister walked forward, thanking the Earthrealm warriors once again.
Kitana: And as for you, Robin, what do you say? Will you stay here, or leave to join these warriors?
the caped crusader gave some thought, but then he looked over at Smoke, who nodded his head as if to say yes, and he finally made his decision.
Robin: actually, I think I might leave, your majesty, 'cause, I've sort of always wanted to see what lies beyond this Realm. I know I have duties here, but I'm leaving that behind me... For now at least, but I will send you messages when I can. I've met a lot of people in my life, but I may have found my real friends right here.
Kitana and Mileena looked at Robin, scoffing, but happy that their close friend made the right choice.
Kitana: Very well, you may go with them, but do send us messages once a week.
Robin: I'll try, your highness. Thank you. Now, shall we go, everyone? I can't wait to get to Earthrealm, see all the things I've missed out on.
Hanzo Hasashi used his amulet to open the portal to the Special Forces Headquarters.
Smoke: (to Robin) You made the right choice, Robin. Trust me. You'll love it.
The caped crusader smiled, and nodded his head. As they all walked through the portal, the image cuts to the inside of the S.F. HQ, where Sonya and Johnny waited for them.
Johnny: Yo, Cass, good job! We were worried, but we had faith. Nice job. And uh... Who's the new guy?
Kabal: (reffering to Robin) He's just a friend.
Sonya: Tremor.
Tremor: General.
Sonya: Can someone explain why this Black Dragon scumbag is here?
Robin: Hey, Rocky Road's a good guy now. Don't worry, I got some dirt on him that I can share. I got a feeling you're gonna like this.
Sonya: I'll be the judge of that. You guys need a ride home, or are you good?
Sub Zero: It is alright, we can make it back safely.
Cassie: Oh come on! At least stay for the party!
The other ninjas and Tremor looked at eachother and shrugged. Smoke was the only one to say yes. As the image fades out, we see Kano in the cell with a note book and a pencil, drawing something, as he is very good at it. He looks over to see his cell is right next to Hsu Hao's (hey, remember that guy? I do).
Kano: What did I do to deserve this.
Hsu Hao: You know, I can hear you.
Kano: I hope you can hear me.
The image fades away into the Outside of the HQ, close to midnight, with fireworks flying through the air and music playing in the background. Johnny and Sonya are dancing together, while Cassie is introducing Robin and Tremor to her team, the Kombat Kids. Kabal and Stryker are cracking jokes, and the other ninjas are drinking. Jax is talking to Kenshi and Sub Zero, and Hanzo Hasashi is watching over everything.
Tremor and Robin, somehow, still feels unwelcome. He makes a rock chair to sit on it alone for a bit. Smoke, ever observant, notices this and walks up to them.
Smoke: What's wrong, Robin? Are you alright? You're not having fun?
Robin: (looks at him) I am, I'm just not used to any of this, is all.
Tremor: And I just... I guess I don't feel welcome. I'm sorry, its just, I'm not the easiest person to talk to. I was never taught how to be friendly, and its kinda hard for me. Sorry. Maybe its a good idea if I leave.
Robin: Nonsense. Everyone needs a little help every now and then. If ya want, we could teach you how to fit in. Ya know, if you'd like. (Looks at Smoke) Would you?
Tomas: (looks at Robin and nods) Of course. But first, let's enjoy the party. Tomorrow we can get started. Sound good, Tremor?
Tremor: Yeah, yeah, sounds good.
Robin: (to Tremor) can I trust you with something, big fella?
Tremor: Yes.
Smoke: Great. I'll be over at the food section if you need me.
Robin: (leans in to whisper) you wanna know a secret? I'm not so sure about these people, myself. I'm not one for crowds. You wanna know why I came along? Its because I was hoping I could find a place I can belong. A family, since mine is lost to me. So, I'm gonna tell you this: I can understand how you're feeling. And we all need a friend or two.
Tremor: (in disbelief) Really?
Robin: Yeah, really. Trust me. I got plenty of dirt on these guys.
Tremor: Well, we have plenty of time to get to know eachother, and we can start tomorrow.
Robin: Agreed. (sticks out his hand) Partners?
Tremor: Sure. Why not? (shakes his hand)
And the image fades to next morning.
The next morning, everyone says their final goodbyes. Kabal gives everyone a quick high five, Robin and Tremor join the Special Forces and Smoke and Sub Zero head home to the Lin Kuei Temple.
Robin: (narrating) Well, that's basically it. The ninja dudes head back home, and Tremor and I go on a few duo missions, but occasionally with the Kombat Kids. After that, they give me the offer of a lifetime: a spot in their team. And, I don't know, they made it clear they really want me on their squad. So, I took it, and now, I'm a member of the Kombat Kids. We've been a team for three months, and they're a great team to be on. I've met many interesting people, and made some good friends. Tremor also got a fresh start, as the Special Forces erased any and all of his records of being in the Black Dragon, and now he's a S.F. Super solider. He and I sometimes take road trips to revisit our Lin Kuei buddies. I don't know what's gonna happen next, but one thing is certain: whatever the future brings, I'll be ready for it. I've lived a long life, and there's no better way to end it, than fighting alongside my best friends.
The End

Bejeweled
Tumblr media
And I miss you
But I miss sparkling
You enjoy one last shimmering night before you tether yourself to him.
This turned out a bit goofier than I intended it to be, but I think it's a cute way of showing reader let loose with her girlfriends. Bejeweled just screams bachelorette party for me, hope you guys enjoy this piece of slightly crack fluff :) Also, happy Halloween!
The engagement diamond is barely back on your finger for two minutes when you get bombarded with calls from your friends–a few in particular. Even though your recently set wedding day is still weeks away, they insist on taking you out on a bachelorette bash. 
What can you do except say yes?
-
The moment you step onto the street, a chorus of squeals greet you. Your face lights up as you see your lady squad lounging about one of Bruce Wayne’s limousines. You wave excitedly as you start towards them. 
Selina is sitting on the hood, black dress blending into her background. Her smile, however, is as blinding as ever. 
Stephanie and Cass are huddled together at the front of the group, the former bouncing on her feet and the latter gazing at you fondly. The door closest to them swings open to reveal a waving Barbara, her glasses are off tonight and you think she looks beautiful. 
“Get over here, girl!” Steph finally explodes, running over to catch you up in a hug. You laugh as she lifts you into the air like you weigh nothing, giggling breathlessly when you’re back on solid ground. 
“You look gorgeous,” you compliment her, then turn to the rest of the group. “You all do.”
Selina slides off the hood to greet you, green eyes sparkling. 
“You better get in the car, honey. Someone’s been dying to meet you,” she says, lips quirking mischievously. You gasp as you realize who it might be. 
“You didn’t–Harley!” You yelp joyfully, you’d been itching to meet the lady anti-hero ever since Selina had mentioned her. Sure enough, a pair of pink-and-blue pigtails swing your way from the driver’s seat. 
“Hey, sugar! Nice to meet ya!” Harley Quinn squeals, and your heart flutters madly when you meet her fun-loving gaze. 
“I can’t believe you’re all going to take me out tonight,” you tease as you get in beside Barbara. “It’s gonna be one hell of a send-off with you ladies.”
“Oh, you can count on it.” Steph’s grin is positively wicked as she straps herself in on your other side, Cass joining her. “Step on it, Harls!”
“You got it!”
-
The first place they take you is one of the biggest boutiques in town, Selina leading you all into the shop. Surprise, surprise–it’s been rented out just for you tonight. 
“Bruce is gonna feel tonight on his credit card, huh?” You chuckle as you run a hand over a blue silk dress. 
“You know it, kitten.” Selina smirks. “Nothing he can’t earn back, though. So don’t pay any attention to the budget tonight, sweetheart. It’s on us–with a little help from Batsy’s black card.”
This rouses laughter from everyone, and hands fly to grab gowns off the racks. A few photoshoots later, you’re all decked out in shimmering garments that fall elegantly around you like colorful auras. What’s more, the entire group is covered from head to toe in jewelry, enough to make you shine bright as little suns. The doorbell tinkles over your heads as you file out the door and back into the limo. 
“Where to next? We didn’t spend too long in there,” you say breathlessly. 
“Mhm–you’ll see in just a bit!” Steph titters. Harley snickered from the passenger seat up front, she’d switched off driving duty with Selina.
“I’ll give ya a hint, sugar–if you were this excited to meet little ol’ me, you’ll go absolutely bonkers soon!”
-
Harley was right. 
Your mouth drops open as you crane your neck to see the entirety of the behemoth of a yacht before you. 
“You guys didn’t tell me that you rented out the freaking Titanic!” you squawked, your hair brushing your bare shoulders as you shook your head back and forth in wonder. 
“Well, better be careful with that rock, then. You wouldn’t want to cause this one to sink too!” Barbara joked, referring to your ring as you helped her up the ramp. You grin at her tasteful reference, finally making it to the deck. 
What you don’t expect is the throngs of eyes swinging your way as you stand there with your girls. 
Then you realize that you know some of these people. Recognition spreads in your mind like wildfire as your gaze jumps from person to person. Your friends must’ve pulled a few strings, because you can pick out Wonder Woman and Black Canary from the crowd almost instantly. 
“Oh my god,” you murmur faintly. “I think I’m going to pass out.”
Cass looks mildly alarmed, but calms as she reads your body language. You’re glad for her patience, because you would not have appreciated a trip to the ER because your friends mistook your excitement for illness. 
Just then, Wonder Woman catches you staring at her. Smiling, she says something to Black Canary, and the blonde hero winks at you. You swoon, and Steph makes a show of catching you in her arms. 
“Listen,” you say dreamily, “I know I’m getting married to Jason, but if Dinah Lance asks me out tonight, I just might have to call off the wedding.” 
“Agreed,” Steph sighs, shooting a playful look at Cass. The ravenette shrugs good-naturedly, and it makes you all smile. 
“Let’s go mingle! We’re not going out with anyone if we jus’ keep standing here,'' Harley sings, and with overlapping agreements, you melt into the crowds. It’s a wild experience, flitting through the throngs of heroines in the most ridiculously flashy heels you’ve ever chosen in your life. You’re still reeling after meeting your two favorite Justice League members that you almost miss the clinking of Selina’s glass. 
“May I have your attention?” She purrs, and heads turn. “Thank you all for coming out, I know our bride-to-be really enjoyed herself tonight!” Playful catcalls ring out, and you blush graciously as you remember Dinah’s lips on your cheek. You could’ve died happy right then and there, but you were glad you hadn’t. This had been such an incredible night, and your heart was about ready to burst with love for your friends. 
“It’s almost midnight–let’s send our little bride off!” Barbara calls out. Cheers go up, champagne bottles pop, and suddenly fireworks burst into life overhead as the yacht cruises along Gotham’s glittering coast. You can feel tears of joy sliding down your cheeks, and you let out a happy sob as arms wrap around you. 
“Thank you all so much,” you exclaim, wiping at your face as you bring your arms around your five amazing friends. “This was the best night a girl could’ve asked for.”
“You know it, sugar!” 
“And next time, we’ll be taking you out for your baby shower!” Steph finishes, and you all laugh.

Listen. Could Dead and Loving It be a fraction of the length and maybe finished by now if I only focused on Danny and Jason?
Possibly
Would it be a better story?
Probably, from several perspectives
But it absolutely would not be the same story, and nor would it be the story I want to tell
Because I am hopelessly addicted to ensemble casts, and I don’t want the boys to exist in a vacuum. I want Jason to run off with his siblings and with Danny’s friends, and I want Danny to fuck with the bats
I want them to touch all the parts of each others lives that existed before they met, and will still continue to exist after even if things change forever between them
I want all the background characters to interact with each other, have their own inner worlds and their own motivations, and yeah, this absolutely means this is not an efficient telling of a slow burn romance
Because the story isn’t the slow burn romance
The story is these two people, and the world they live in, the story is the way Duke and Cass both see Jason differently than Dick and Tim ever could and that matters, and that none of them are wrong
The story is Danny finally telling people who will listen about the Anti-Ecto Acts, and all the fucked up things the GIW do, and being able to ask for help and have that be okay
The story is messy and complicated and will have so many rises and falls, so many pivotal moments that are drama and combat and so many that are just two people talking to each other and finally seeing eye to eye
The story is the way that Jason’s relationships with his family can finally mend, now that he has someone who can get him the help he’s needed
The story is the way that Danny can come to terms with the responsibilities of being a king, the constant question of agency and power and what he’s worth if he’s only Danny and not the Ghost King
The story is Clockwork fucking with the pair of them because he specifically thinks it’s funny (he’s right)
And yeah, there’s a slow burn romance in there. There’s also a coming of age tale, and a story about healing and reconciling and moving forward knowing you cannot change the past, but you can do better
Unless fucking Clockwork decides you can change the past because yeah then it’s fine to just go do that I guess
I was kinda considering breaking the story out into multiple chunks because holy fuck is 100k an intimidating chunk of words, but I’m not gonna
It’s all one story, and you will be my hapless victims as we get to fucking 300k or wherever this beast ends because we are not here for efficient story telling and motion of the plot
We’re here for the connections, the characters, the meaningless bullshit that would absolutely be cut in anything anyone ever wanted to sell, cuz I am not selling this
Imma write every fucking scene I wish I got from books, TV, movies, podcasts, actual plays, every fucking time I scream at the characters to just fucking talk to each other because messy is good too
Messy is okay
Stories don’t need to be marketable to be worth telling, and this one’s gonna be too long and intimidating for some people and that’s okay
But I fuckin’ rolled in from Critical Role which averages around 500 hours of content per campaign and a cast of 7 plus Matt’s NPCs
And I STILL want more goddamn character moments from all of them so I haven’t found a size yet that I can’t manage
I love reading focused stories that I can get through fast, and fuck, look at the rest of my AO3; I will fucking never diss a one shot, or a short story, or a piece that really focuses in on one or two characters
Delicious, I love them, my bread and butter
It’s just not what this mess is gonna be, and that’s okay too
Gods be fucking willing we will not have another six chapters that take place over the course of three hours, but we’ll just have to see how that shakes out cuz I’m being possessed by a seemingly infinite number of plot bunnies and my own tendency for “hey it’d be funny if”
And oh boy has it been funny every time

Hey, Batfans, are you a weird completionist who likes sortable data way too much, like me? Do you want a giant spreadsheet of appearances of a bunch of Batfam members that you can filter across multiple people to see where they show up in the same issue together?
WELL GOOD NEWS because thanks to my hyperfixation I made a spreadsheet. (It's view-only but if you save a copy it should be editable for personal use.)
The Spreadsheet currently contains all post-crisis appearances for the following characters: Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain, Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson, Duke Thomas, Harper Row, Helena Bertinelli, Jace Fox, Jarro, Jason Todd, Jean-Paul Valley, Kate Kane, Luke Fox, Stephanie Brown and Tim Drake. I feel like that's most of the big ones (and several not-very-big-ones), but if there's a Bat-person missing you'd like to see on there, feel free to ask!
This is up to date through July 2023. I have intentions to keep updating it on a semi-monthly basis, but we'll see if that happens.
All sheets are conditionally formatted so if you enter "Y" in the Read column it will highlight the whole row in green to mark it off, if you're the kind of person who likes to keep track and mark things off a list.
The Master List is filterable by any character, and more importantly, multiple characters! Up to "all of them" although I don't think anything actually contains *all* of them.
(Some more notes below)
SOME NOTES:
Dates are the start of the series, since that's how a lot of places besides DC itself with their weird "volume" convention distinguish different runs.
These aren't sorted by preboot vs. New 52 vs. Rebirth vs. IF, sorry, that was too many sorting functions for now. You can kinda figure it out by date, though (New 52 was 2011, Rebirth was 2016, IF was 2022) or look up the issue on a wiki and see what version of the character is tagged.
On that note, all of this was pulled from the DC Wiki, and while I did a little bit of spot-checking as I went for things I knew off the top of my head it's entirely possible things are missing or mis-attributed. I'm happy to update accordingly if there are.
Similarly, I didn't go through every issue here to check what role people are appearing in, either in terms of what identity they're using (e.g. Spoiler vs Robin vs Batgirl) or if they're a major character or not. Some of these are as minor as background appearances or off-screen mentions. Some day I might add more metadata to sort for those things, but right now that's not part of it.
