The other funny in a bad way thing about Bruce beating all his kids so effortlessly in a fight is like oh. So when you took them in and trained them, this is what it amounted to? You took the girl who could previously dodge bullets and now she can't even dodge a grappling hook? Why was Duke more capable a fighter before he had powers? Why did you let Steph's new costume have no eyemask when she started out with one? Dick has fought world level threats with the Titans yet he can't even take down one old man now that he's mostly working with the batfam? Forget the whole Selina and Bruce spiralling out of control thing the batkids deserve to beat Bruce's ass solely for his awful training if they can't even last five seconds fighting him all together.

#dc #batfam #cassandra cain #stephanie brown #bruce wayne #dick grayson #duke thomas #Obviously I don't mean any of this seriously. Just pointing out the absurdity of the whole dumb fight #Like I knew they were going to make the kids job but what I didn't know #Was that they were going to put even less effort into making it believable than the time Jason took on Dick Cass and Tim

i know there's a lot of issues around prevalence of fanon interpretations of the batfamily, especially when it comes to tim, but one thing i refuse to believe no matter how many comics may try to convince me is the idea that tim drake is tall. like look at him that is just a little guy

#dc #batfam #dcu #tim drake #don't take this too seriously pls #but i genuinely get so thrown by comic panels where he's almost the same height as bruce or dick #like no he's not wdym 😭😭#edit y'all i know he's canonically pretty short fjdksl #there's just a few too many random runs that ignore that and draw him the same height as other bats #which is what prompted this jokey post #i just wanted to be annoying and overclarify my post in tags no one will see everyone carry on pls sfhjdk

There are only so many fanfics that use the entirety of DC as cardboard cutouts to prop up bat family characters that I can read before I go berserk.

I swear to god. Every character that has ever been shipped with a bat or coexists on the same team as a bat is owed an apology.

How many Young Justice fanfics that solely revolve around Tim must exist? How many Titans fanfics centered only on Dick? Why is it a herculean task to find a Justice League fanfic without Bruce as the main character?

And then even when you do find a fic that seems like it's balanced, everything still revolves around the bat. Like Kon, Cassie and Bart have nothing else going on in their lives except Tim and Tim's issues or thinking about Tim. Like Donna and Wally and Roy just cannot function if they aren't spending every waking moment thinking about Dick.

I'm... Guys. I'm at my limit. I swear to god. We need to make a Batman tag and surgically remove all these fics and quarantine them there. We'll keep the actual DC fics and they can do whatever the fuck they want in their own tag. It's getting ridiculous how hard it is to find fanfic that's actually DC related and isn't just 'The BatFam Show'.

#im going INSANE #i literally just have to filter out the batfam characters at this point #and even that doesn't help sometimes #holy shit guys what is GOING ON #seriously if i see one more fic thats all 'haha the justice league meets the batfam and they're so shocked! 😯 because they're crazy 🤣'#i don't know how to explain to you people that THEY HAVE SEEN WEIRDER #a bunch of ninja kids aren't even making the top ten weirdest moments my dude. like. at all.#not even remotely #i can't stress ENOUGH how normal that would be to them #anyway im going fucking bonkers over here #dc #dc comics #or god fucking damnit the YJ fics that literally just have Kon's life revolving around Tim #and Cassie and Bart are just background scenary. and only exist to push Kon and Tim together. I'm going to go fucking nuts #ship whoever you want but at least have the character have an actual character beyond 'love interest'#also jfc. every. single. birdflash fic. that has Wally just be a love interest with literally nothing fucking else going on #except his relationship with Dick. work? family? life? villains?? nope! no he's just madly in love with Dick and cute and thats it!#im GOING INSANE

These fanon Tim Drake takes/fanfictions that paint him as the ultimate victim during the Morrrison era were always annoying, but if you're looking for a character to write fix it fanfictions about because they got abandoned by their family when they went through a lot of losses and lost themselves in the process, ran away from everything and only had the batfamily try to bring them back home ages after they had already run away and only after first blaming the kid and then not prioritizing bringing that kid back, then Damian from 2018 to 2020 is right there?

Where are my 1000+ fanfictions about that?

#damian wayne #seriously #nobody in the batfamily gave a fuck when Damian stopped living with Bruce to be with his Teen Titans team #Damian losing Dick then Jon and then Alfred got retconned in as his reasons to turn dark only at the end of the book #when DC finally realized that maybe turning Damian into their next big bad/baby Hitler is freaking stupid #after city of bane they tried to blame Alfred's death on Damian even though he had just been following orders #Alfred had also been absolutely not been helpful during their last conversation cob and compared him to Ra's #All these things people project onto Tim for some reason actually happened to Damian and I don't see tons of fanfictions about that #on top of that the only character that ever apologized for letting him down was Bruce but in ways that pretty much still blamed Damian #I'm sorry you felt the need to save Alfred alone #you asshole ordered him to become a hostage and told him Alfred had gotten away. Damian didn't try to save Alfred alone.#I never blamed you for Alfred's death. Yes you did you refused to comfort him when he ran away crying from the wake #and a hallucination of Alfred confirmed you held him failing to stop Bane from killing Alfred against him #like what the hell #all the mistreatment people think Tim went through happened to Damian yet nobody cares

You know what we need? Batfam Bloodbourne au

Preferably where they're all sent to The Dream but separately and when they all kill gherman and become baby great ones they come back to Gotham and it's Their Dream now. Just Gotham or the world and Gotham is Home and the most like Yharnam, up to you. But I'd love to see them struggle through the brutality, or make peace with it quickly for some (in my mind Tim would be the most stable, Jason would be okay but not great, Tim just seems so,,, adaptable to me, the most insatiable for knowledge so the most accepting of the consequences of getting that knowledge, pros outweigh the cons kinda deal) with the way others were changed and just unsavable. The people of Yharnam are beasts now and the kindest way to deal with them is to put them down even if it's not permanent. And then come out of it irrevocably changed themselves, more than just mentally. The effects it has on them and the world around them. How The Dream ended, but theirs just began and what if it starts in Gotham and slowly spreads? But they're the only great ones in this world so there's no old blood to corrupt people but that doesn't stop death being...odd. Unless they share their blood in experiments to Know what it would do and if they can use it safely for those they care about. (mad scientist Tim my beloved)

Do you see my vision? It's beautiful

It's wonderful.

Like no joke, I adore Bloodborne, I Love it (Even if I can't play it thanks to getting distracted by all the details in the surroundings & then get murdered lol)

And I wouldn't say Tim is the most adaptable, they all are, but Tim? Compartmentalizes, looks at things logically, straight up turns off his panic at times like it's a switch. But I am also very weak to mad scientist Tim. Even if they probably don't let him do human experiments (not that it stops self-experimentation sometimes)

Gosh I love this. Them still ending up found-family while these utterly horrible things happen around and to them. I wonder if they sometimes take a moment in the dreams and whisper about what they remember before this Living Nightmare. Names they don't know the faces of but know they were important to them. Memories they cling to as they try not to lose what is left of their humanity.

Oh my god, them being the only Great Ones after killing the previous ones? Wonderful idea, I adore it. I bet even if they can take human form still it would be... off. And the more one's Insight is? The more they can see that they're Other.

God the imagery of like, Gotham's moon always being red and thick fog settling across the city each night as their Dream begins is amazing. And I bet that they relish it. I bet they're relieved for normal murder and crime, compared to the Plague of Beasts they had been dealing with what felt like years. Time gets so meaningless with an Endless night full of Deaths over and over.

I bet Gotham looks even more Gothic than before. Actually, you know what? This would be perfect for a No Man's Land situation. For the city to be abandoned only to be held afloat by newborn Gods who no longer quite understand the humans, not with how long the Hunt has stretched on, but care all the same. Idk I just really like this idea in general lol. I am weak to eldritch AUs and Bloodborne is glorious.

"Why are there so many people online claiming to have DID!"

Not that anyone asking that question actually cares about the answer but here's a list of the reasons why you may see it so often!

You are actively seeking them online. This includes !! Talking about them, commenting on posts, engaging with anti DID communities, and most obviously searching the tags up.

DID while rare is as prevalent as: OCD, green eyes, having ginger hair, BPD.... And not all systems online have DID, there's also OSDD. DID is an underreported disorder too, because of the lack of research + lack of diagnosis in many parts of the world and many many different communities in society even in places where psychiatric care is available.

People are becoming more open as they see other people being more open and discussing the disorder with less stigma.

The internet is more readily available than it used to be, so you're encountering groups of people you wouldn't have before.

This whole argument is ridiculous and stupid and tiring, y'all do it to every community that starts to be more outspoken, you've done it to gay people, you've done it to trans people, you're doing it to systems.

If you don't want to see system content there's an easy solution!!!

Stop interacting with system content

Block the tags and accounts you see!

Isn't that simple.

#system #did #osdd #osddid #syscourse #seriously so fucking tired of it #endos dni #beehivesys #if you're a dick under this post we're blocking you we literally don't care

Barbara: Come on now, he's just a bad adjusted adult-

As a follow-up from this post, Talia who starts to present herself as "your mother" to any new batkids she meets, because she is living in her reality, where Bruce is her soulmate whatever he says or does. He may have another girlfriend, another partner, even a spouse, it doesn’t matter, they are just a "plaything" and he is her betrothed. And those batkids (Duke, I'm imagining Duke) being totally lost because "who the fuck are you????".

And Dick, as her n°1 hater, is screaming that she's nobody's mother (apart from Damian, he has to accept that), she is certainly not his mother, nor his stepmother, and she needs to back-off.

#talia al ghul #nightwing #dick grayson #batman #Bruce is letting her he learnt it was useless to try to stop her #also he isn’t very good at trying to stop people he flirted with #Do you like my cooking? Talia Al Ghul being an anti-hero forever betrothed to Bruce Wayne and who will never let it go #but not in a Yandere way like she doesn’t care if other people flirt or touch him as long as he is consenting #she is her own brand of nuts but this is Batman who isn’t???#ALSO she takes her role as their “mother” very seriously she will protect his kids with her life #cut to Ra's stealing Tim's spleen and she arrived “don't touch my son” and Tim is like “?????”#Tim forever done with the Al Ghuls #dc comics #my ramblings

Stephanie Brown and Dick Grayson: I Am Going To Be A Good Parent To Pass On The Good Parts Of My Tumultuous Childhood/Give Someone Else What I Didn't Have Growing Up

Vs

Damian Wayne and Cassandra Cain: You Could Not Pay Me To Be A Parent For Fear I Would Continue The Cycle Of Violence

#dc comics #stephanie brown #dick grayson #damian wayne #cassandra cain #ramblings of a lunatic #don't ask me about tim jason or duke idk what's going on there #Tim can't even make it to college unimpeded his ass is NOT entering fatherhood #you could do something really interesting with Jason as a father but it'd either have to go hard into the 'jason healing' route-#-or the complete opposite direction and go full on 'repeating the cycle of violence' fucked up #and either way it's gonna be divisive #i recently found out (bc i skipped batman and the outsiders) that duke's dad is some kind of immortal entity???? what in the fresh hell #I'm not saying it can't be cool I'm saying I'm. so goddman surprised it's never brought up by ANYONE #i know duke doesn't get his flowers in fandom but SERIOUSLY. WHAT?#ngl i can't say for sure that i don't like it bc i haven't seen the execution but. instinctually i prefer his og backstory #it just felt more grounded and linked to his setting? his whole thing is being the light and pushing batmans message further-#which is already hard for some writers to work w bc depending on interpretation that's the territory of like. 5 other guys in batfam #but duke does it in his own way with the whole working the dayshift angle. idk am i the only one hung up on the eldritch daddy thing?#bc i simply can't imagine the thought process behind that #anyway I've been thinking about the bit in robin 2021 where damian says he's never having kids. he's so real for that #he loves both his parents deeply and that series made that clear but MAN he is not passing on all this mental illness to anyone #and then i thought about how badly steph wanted to be a mom even as a teenager despite her own shitty parents #how she wanted to give someone else more than she had growing up (HOPE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A THEME FOR STEPH LISTEN TO ME)#and she ultimately gave her kid up bc she knew she couldn't give that to them at the time #oouughhhh. then i just figured that dick and cass are roughly the same in their estimation of parenthood #cass had a horrifically abusive upbringing and insanely isolated life til recent-#-all of which was due to/contributed by the parental figures in her life minus maybe barbara #i think I'd love to watch cass act as a mentor (she was a bit of a peer mentor to Steph and got along well w maps in Batgirls)#but it's hard to picture her as maternal. big sister yes. mother no.#dick is soooo dad shaped it's unreal. just as much as he is brother shaped. especially after everything with damian

Can we acknowledge for a second how insane it is that both Wally and Bart had to have significant character arcs to understand that sometimes people die?

With other heroes it's just a fact of life. People die. People die all the time. That's just the job. There's no escaping that. There was never any room for doubt.

They try as hard as they can to save everyone but they're only human. Sometimes they can't and sometimes people die.

But for Wally and Bart?

Oh man.

Wally was aware of the concept of death. He'd seen corpses, he knew that people died and that it was a commonplace thing.

But someone dying on his watch? Failing to save someone, no matter what the circumstances, was not even an option to Wally. It didn't happen. He was fast enough to make sure it never happened.

His actual literal catch phrase as the Flash was "Nobody dies."

I'm not joking.

He even had a storyline where a lady was thrown out of an airplane and Wally, who obviously can't fly and who would have no way of saving her, jumped out after her because nobody dies. And he did save her. He figured out a new way of using superspeed while plummeting to his death. The moral of that adventure to Wally was that no one should die ever when he's the Flash because he can always save everyone if he tries hard enough.

He then had another adventure where someone was going to die and he couldn't save them and he could not handle that. This man STOPPED. TIME. He stopped time because "if time doesn't move then they can't die" and he intended to never restart time because he was having a full blown panic attack over someone dying on his watch.

Thankfully he was able to calm down and figure out a plan to save them. He had to accept that it might not work and they might die and he had to be okay with that. Because he tried his best and that was all he could do. He did end up saving everyone in the end. No one died.

But I mention this because the man was in his mid 20's the first time he actually had to come to terms with the inevitability of death.

He wasn't being naive or ignorant. He wasn't being arrogant or cocky. The man had legitimately never failed to save someone.

Now Bart, in comparison, had to face death in general a lot sooner than Wally did. Wally was basing his conclusions based on his experience but Bart legitimately had no idea what death was.

He had to learn that people could die by witnessing the people he cares about have close calls. He had to learn that he could die by experiencing his own death.

I'm honestly not entirely convinced Bart has had to accept that he can't save everyone. There are arguments to be made for sure but I don't think he's ever explicitly had that "Oh shit, I can't save them. They will die" moment.

Regardless though, I think this really speaks to their abilities and efficiency in the field. Also their sheer power. It doesn't matter if it's a city of 2 million people and there's a nuke 1 second away from detonating. It doesn't matter if the criminal has a hostage at gun point and has already pulled the trigger. It doesn't matter if a building gets hit during a fight and crumbles into dust. There will be no casualties. There will be no hostages. There will be no friendly fire. They save everyone. No exceptions.

#seriously tho Wally and Bart have B R E A K D O W N S when confronted with other people dying #its NOT a thing that happens to them #if they find a body or something they aren't phased because they aren't unaware of death #they just specifically cannot handle someone dying while they were a) in the area and/or b) aware of the danger #and they don't even project that onto other people. like Wally will nonstop reassure other heroes that they can't save everyone #and that its okay as long as they tried their best #he just specifically holds himself to higher standards #specifically one time Dick was upset that he couldn't save everyone and Wally DEADASS said #'hey you don't have superspeed its fine. no one can reasonably expect you to save everyone '#with the implication being that to wally if you have superspeed you CAN save everyone #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #wally west #impulse #bart allen

Meat Marionette #11?

Thinkin about the rogues in this Au, and like, the difference between their relationship with the bats vs this Au.

For example, Selina. I’ll admit I take a bit of inspiration from the 2022 movie and mix it with comic depictions along with the different cartoons, which honestly isn’t too different from each other by too much. Now, I don’t think that Catwoman would flirt with this version of Batman, what with his body being a meat puppet that is visibly not human and off putting. There’s also the fact that she would have been an early-ish rogue of his, at least in order of encounters. Which means that she probably encounters the Bat for the first time while Bruce was still getting used to said gifted body, which in turn was probably terrifying. So there’s still a cat and mouse game happening, but it’s more akin to Selina doing her darn best to avoid the Bat no matter what, because to her it isn’t above trying to kill. It’s like seeing a lion where you figure you’re safe at this distance, until it starts moving and you realize that you are definitely not far enough away.

Another rogue that I am thinking of is Harvey and Two-Face (Which DC, give Two-Face a proper name :/ he’s his own dude even if they share a body). Harvey was best friends with Bruce, hell they were practically high-school sweethearts in some cases! And Bruce still visits him in Arkham, canonically still talks and interacts with both his friend and TF. Now if anyone is going to notice the changes to Bruce, it’s going to be Harvey. He’s going to be the first to notice how Bruce’s movements are now dangerous and downright predatory, with too much grace even for a dancer or martial artist. There’s something familiar about that movement, and Harvey isn’t an idiot, TF isn’t one either. They know there’s something wrong with Bruce even if he insists he’s fine. In canon Harvey straight up broke down and cried when he found out Bruce was Batman, so I’m wondering what their reaction to this version of the bat would be…

There’s also rogues like the Riddler and the Joker who are downright obsessed with Batman, but would they still be with this one? I could see Joker slowly becoming obsessed as the creatures continue to thwart him over and over again, but I’m still rotating Riddler.

But y’know who would definitely be obsessed with the batclan?

Scarecrow. The man is obsessed with studying fear, with the effects it has and how to cause it. So the bats, who bring terror wherever they go, with something about them continuously tingling at the back of ones’ more instinctive mind that this is something to fear? He would be utterly enthralled, he’d need to know more, he’d need to know Everything. Especially if his fear toxin doesn’t work right on them. After all, how would a gas effect something without lungs? How can you inject something that doesn’t have blood, that’s not quite alive, not in the way that we as humans understand? How can you cause fear of something that has stared into the Tunnels’ heart and lived? Or something like that lol.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AU is a combo of my cryptid batfam and @phoenixcatch7 's Possessed Doll au, go check them out, they're amazing

#rambles #meat marionette au #batman au #I am just pondering how the dynamics with certain rogues are effected #Like Harley and Bruce both went to medschool around the same time and definitely could've shared classes #Like mans is surprisingly connected directly to so many of his rogues #Not to mention the main thing that got me pondering this being the Al Ghuls #Like in my Genesis story I have Damian created from stolen blood since they don't know that the bat is the same as bruce #But idk if this would also happen in this AU or not seeing as the meat puppets don't exactly have blood per se #But maybe it could have something to do with them literally drinking lazarus water too #hngh i have no idea what to do with them :/#batman #batfam #cryptid batman #cryptid batfam #wayne family #gotham rogues #But seriously pondering about their relationships #Not just the rogues but I'll probably elaborate more on that later #like for example would Dick found the Titans when he doesn't have a falling out with Bruce?#hm

straight up batman au where everything is the same EXCEPT

Damian is missing his two front teeth when he meets Tim.

Dick never got rid of the mullet

Alfred is Australian for some reason

and Bruce wears that dumb fuckin rainbow batman costume whenever Jason acts up

#batman #damian wayne #richard grayson #dick grayson #tim drake #alfred pennyworth #bruce wayne #i don't think tim would be able to take damian seriously AT ALL #even with all the murder attempts #damian can't take dick seriously with that haircut #alfred is australian #so uh australian special forces instead of english #keeps trying to convince damian to keep dangerous animals as pets #also this means bruce was raised by an australian butler #which i think would have lead to some behavioral differences #jason todd #jason stops killing people a lot sooner #just so that bruce will stop wearing that stupid fucking outfid #it doesn't work

Bruce has a secret, hidden, locked album on his everyday phone under the title "Dick Pics". It is filled of the most safe for work photos of Dick from his Robin days till the present, with new additions every day.

Dick has an album on his super secret private phone just off the main album screen titled "Bruce <3" filled of the raunchiest photos of Bruce he's ever allowed to be taken.
