#they know that they're at their best when it's about tired dads adopting kids

I think a " No Robins" AU would be really cool, because while yes, there's no Batman without Robin, can you IMAGINE the cuteness?
By " no robin" I don't mean the boys (Dick and Jason, but later everyone else) stay home, completely unaware of their Goth rat father fighting crime. They absolutely know he's batman and they ABSOLUTELY want kicks in.
But Bruce won't just let his children dive head first in Gotham’s crime pool. So he does what he does best; Pretend.
" B! Are we there yet?"
" Almost. Finish your chocolate milk so Jason can finish his."
" He's always copying me!"
" No I'm not!"
" nO iM nOt, "
Jason kicking his little legs in the child seat? Adorable. "B!"
Bruce is simply blocking this out. He's been driving in circles for two hours and when they finally fall asleep, he takes care of business, gets the robbers tied up, and by the time the boys wake up, he's like,
" You caught them. Good job."
The GCPD has to be useful SOMEHOW, so Gordon and Martinez take them to help look for "evidence." Yes, the evidence happens to be at the park
Even the Rogues are on board? Selina doesn't mind playing hurt when Dick hits her with a "batarang" from the local toy store. She decides to take it over the top and play dead, going limp,
" You killed her!" Jason screeches, because they LIKE Selina,
Bruce, completely calm as Tim pokes a shaking Selina with a stick, " Robin. What have you done."
Naturally, Dick wails, but luckily, she miraculously "comes back to life" and tells them cats really do have 9 lives. " You owe me so many diamonds, baby"
Bruce shrugs, patting Dick on the back, " You owe me therapy money,"
" Tch. Rich prick."
Harley and Ivy "fight" the birds a lot, but it's just Harley complimenting and hyping up Dick's gymnastics while Ivy swings them around with vines like carnival rides,
When Harley's "arrested", she pulls Bruce aside and is like, " Hey, maybe look into ADHD and autism, pretty sure they all have it, "
" Impossible? That's genetic. I have neither."
" ...1) They're adopted. 2) I have some news for you."
Harvey WILL kill Bruce on sight if he ever tells ANYONE he helped Jason and Tim tie him up with jumping cords. It's already bad enough that video of him slipping on bubblegum bombs (deactivated) is viral
" Okay, now three loops and around, -- Jason, that's a cat bridge."
" I'm NOT Jason Mr. Dent!"
" Right, ROBIN, -- can you at least gag this motherf-- this jerk? Jesus, Oswald, what'd you eat, death?"
Oz, tied back to back with Harvey, with marker all over his face, " Your MOTHER. I'M tired, KID, When's your old man coming back?"
" Dad says that if you miss bed time, you explode. Are you gonna explode, Mr. Penguin?"
"... I'm concerned that you're excited about it."

i’m thinking about kaveh first dropping off his kid in ghandarva ville. he did a good job explaining to them that he’ll be back before they know it and that he’ll alway be there for them. before he leaves he feels little hands clutching onto his leg as they just whisper “you promise you’re gonna come back? you won’t leave me, right? you promise you won’t leave me?”
i'll be back.
summary. kaveh finds the strength to leave his child in gandharva ville.
trigger & content warnings. fear of abandonment, references to kaveh's backstory.
tropes, pairings, fic length, & other notes. comfort, soft angst. adoptive dad!kaveh & child!reader. 0.9k words. they/them pronouns for reader.
author's thoughts. wow you just woke up today and chose gentle violence huh anon /LH i love soft angst. hard angst? yeah, it definitely hurts, but soft angst like this? idk. it hits different sometimes!!!
Tumblr media
kaveh did not want to resort to this. he didn't.
the architect truly, sincerely had tried his very best to think of any alternate solutions—maybe he could convince alhaitham to give [name] a chance? no, caring for a child he impulsively decided to pick up off the streets isn't his roommate's responsibility and it really never would be unless the scribe himself decided to take it on, but some people have spontaneous changes of heart! why would alhaitham be any different?
(unfortunately, said man was not going to budge anytime soon. a child would disrupt the comfortable life he had put so much effort into building. kaveh had no choice but to accept that fact. well, really, he knew from the beginning! he was just hoping alhaitham might change.)
in the end, he managed to come up with nothing. he could not think of a single good or attainable option that would allow him to keep them. as much as he hated to admit it, only alhaitham's solution was a viable and reasonable one.
so, here he is, standing in front of tighnari's home in gandharva ville motionlessly with his child held securely in his arms. there were no words in any language that kaveh knew of that could describe what he was feeling. he wordlessly rubs soothing circles on their back.
the silence is impossibly loud.
tighnari does not rush him. he does not so much as even think of complaining. he simply waits quietly with collei at his side, the girl bouncing on her heels slightly in a nervous fidget. she wants to be a good caretaker to [name]; tighnari knows the prospect alone of having to care for them is making her nervous.
kaveh's slightly wavering voice finally breaks the silence:
"you know why i have to leave you here, right?"
they nod quietly, little hands clenched in fists raising up to rub at their watery eyes with their palms—they hope it looks like they're tired and not like they're about to cry, which they are. they hope he doesn't know they're about to cry. they hope he just thinks they're tired from the long journey. they hope he doesn't know the truth.
kaveh knows, of course.
he doesn't say anything about it, though, and only tries to swallow back his own emotions. he tries his best to repress the nauseous feeling stirring in his gut. he tries his best to repress the crawling of his skin. he tries his best to repress the thoughts that this is so impossibly wrong, so impossibly cruel of him.
he hasn't known this child for long, but...
he felt like he was abandoning them.
he felt like he was abandoning his flesh and blood.
absentmindedly, kaveh wondered if this was how his mother felt when she left to fontaine. he hopes not. this feeling is vile. he wouldn't wish it upon his worst enemy.
"and you also know that i'm going to come back all the time to see you, right? and i'm always going to be here if you need me?"
their voice cracks slightly. "yeah."
it's not at all that kaveh doesn't trust tighnari and collei; he does, and he knows they'll take good care of [name], but... still. he wants to be the one taking care of them. he wants to keep them.
he can't.
kaveh then kneels down, and their heart sinks in to the pit of their stomach, despite the fact that they already knew this was inevitably going to happen. just as they dreaded, he sets them down onto their own two feet.
they're reluctant to release their tiny grip from his shirt, but they do so regardless of their hesitance. a slight whimper rises in their throat when kaveh's warmth is gone from them.
kaveh hasn't ever really had to comfort children before.
he's... not sure what to do from here, quite frankly, so he does the first thing that comes to mind.
he leans forward, pressing the smallest, most hesitant of kisses to the crown of their head.
then, he stands up.
he doesn't get very far before one of their little hands is clutching his pant leg, and he inhales sharply, turning back to face them. "[name]..."
kaveh cuts himself off.
their eyes are wide, glittering with the sheen of unshed tears, and their bottom lip is split and cracked—they've either been picking at it or biting it, kaveh notes. how did he not notice before?
in their moment of sadness and stress, their accent peeks through a bit more heavily. it's in a shaky voice on the brink of breaking that they ask, "you promise you're gonna come back, right? you won't leave me, will you?"
...
kaveh earnestly believes he might cry about this when he gets home. oh well. alhaitham will simply have to deal with it.
for now, though, he doesn't cry. he can't.
the architect kneels back down to their height, wiping away the single tear that slid down their cheek with his calloused fingertips. "of course."
"you— you're not gonna leave me, right? you're not leaving me?"
"no. never. i promise, okay?" he whispers. "i'm here, okay? i'm always here if you need me. you just need to tell tighnari. he'll tell me you asked for me and i'll come back here. anytime."
kaveh briefly wonders if he'll regret making such a promise—his clients may suffer if they ask for him at a bad time—but then again...
he can't really say he ever will, not with the way they look at him with such vulnerable trust.
he can't regret it when they're putting their damaged trust into his hands.
please consider reblogging, it helps me out quite a lot!

You stare at your old nokia phone as the ambulance ride goes. You hear the nurses wrapping proper bandages around Kissy's scratched arm, the big toy trying to be as calm as possible. Poppy encouraged her, clapping her tiny hands to signal that Kissy did an excellent job. You smiled and nodded, trying to ignore the police chief sitting right next to you.
He was quietly reading the documentation you brought from the deeper parts of Playtime Co. You thought about thanking the Prototype for coming up with the idea, then went back to staring at your phone.
Finally, you dialed your mother's number, each beep making you more anxious than the last. Then, finally...
"MY SWEET ANGEL!", she screamed in portuguese in the other side of the line. "Where have you been?! You dissapeared for a whole week, what happened?"
Poppy stared at you, hearing your mother's screams.
"Well, mom...", you muttered, also in portuguese. "It's, uh... Complicated".
"Oh, I bet it is! Where have you been?"
You made a funny face, nervous. "Remember when I worked at Playtime Co...? I received a letter and, uh, decided to visit the factory. Got trapped inside".
"For a week?"
"For a week", you confirm. "... You said you wanted grandchildren, right?"
"What does that have to do with this? Are you hurt? Where are you?"
"Mom, answer the question".
You could feel her rolling her eyes in the other line: "You know well I do, but your brother already gave us two".
"Well, I have good news regarding that", Poppy's eyes went wide and she blinked. You simply stared at her and tried to give her the best of your smiles: "I adopted some kids".
"What?"
"What do you think about 80 grandkids? Is that enough?"
"Stop making jokes, boy! I'm your mother! W-where are you?"
"Why don't you go to the hospital? I'm heading there. I'm in an ambulance right at the moment, some of the kids are really hurt and need urgent care, and I'm the only adult they have. Guess I'll also need some patching up as well...".
"There were children inside the factory?"
"A fucking lot", you agree. "They're mine now".
Poppy's eyes started to become teary. The chief right next to you gave you a strange look before re-reading the document in his hands, baffled. Maybe he was going to vomit again? Or maybe he thought you were going mad. It didn't matter much now.
"... Angel", your mother called. "What were they doing there?"
"They were abandoned. Left to die. I think most of them were starving before I arrived", you continued. "They're pretty hurt. I know one is going to have urgent surgery. I don't know how much I can tell you, the cops are also here and I, uhm, don't know what needs to be kept a secret or not. Can you and dad just please come over the hospital and help me a bit?"
Your voice was weak, and you stopped looking at Poppy as reality sank around you. God, they were all just children. Your kids now, you guessed, but you would rather have never met them if it meant they would have never become toys in the first place.
"We're already heading over there", your mother firmly told you. "You hang in there, I'm calling your brother and aunt".
"Let me call him", you asked. "You call aunt before she kills me for dissapearing".
"Okay".
You waited. Your mom did as well.
"Are you alright?", she finally asked, again. You stare at your dirty and bloody hands.
"I didn't lose any body parts, if that's what you want to know", you reassure her. "I'm just tired, hungry and dirty. Could have been worse".
"I'm glad it's not", you could hear someone else in the line. Your mother sighed. "We'll talk more later, okay? I love you. Please don't die while we're on our way there".
"Can't promise that".
"Angel".
"Fine, mom. An ugly vase is hard to break, remember? See you soon. Bye".
You put your phone aside. Poppy's gaze had never left you, and now Kissy was waiting for what you were going to say as well. The two nurses were still working on patching her up as you gently put Poppy on your lap.
"Angel", she called. "Did you just refer to us as your children?"
"I wasn't lying", you quickly answer. "And didn't you just call me dad a few moments ago?"
"I-I... I did".
The doll gives you a hug, and you give one back before gently swiping off the tears forming in the corners of her too-realistic eyes. "Look, Pop, I'm never going to be a good parent for either one of you. I'm all grumpy and hopeless, and you need better than that. But I did promise I would do my best, and that's what I'll try to do. You don't have to pretend to be my daughter, anyways. I'll just be your legal guardian".
"...", was her response, before she readjusted herself to be more comfy on your lap. "I think I prefer having you as my parent rather than just a guardian, Angel. But it's not fair. I already took too many of your choices away from you, I-I don't want this to just be another one of them".
"Shoosh, Pop", you pat her head. "I made that choice long before you tried to stop me from talking to the Prototype. I'll be here to bother you and the others for as long as possible".
Poppy giggled, closing her still teary eyes.
"I'm glad, then", she mutters, ignoring the confused cop sitting next to you. "That you chose to be our... Parent".
You smile, and she understands you're glad as well.
"Now, go to back to sleep. I'll wake you up when we arrive at the hospital", you eye Kissy. "Or if your sister needs some encouragement".
The bigger toy's smile seems to be genuine.

Hello! How about some headcanons of Sniper as a dad? Him and reader have finally settled down after their time with Mann Co has ended, and now they're raising kids! Thank you, and love your headcanons!
Tysm it means a lot that you love them!! ❤️❤️
And again, requests are open! Please request whatever and I'll get to it when I can!
Sniper x Reader - Headcannons of you both settling down (Kids!!)
Warnings : Mention of bullying(?)
Tumblr media
Sniper wouldn't consider children with you until atleast maybe two or three years after your time with Mann Co. has ended, mainly because he's superstitious and slightly paranoid your old lives will come back to bite the two of you.
If you brought it up before he was ready to start considering kids, he'd smile awkwardly and try to brush it off so it's best to bring it up after he's loosened up a little and gotten comfortable.
But when he is comfortable enough to finally have kids, he'd prefer just one or two. Any more than that and it'd probably overwhelm his introverted ass.
Doesn't care if you two adopt or you get pregnant. He just wants to make you happy so he'll go along with whatever route you wanted to take.
He'd like to name his kids after something from nature because he feels more connected to wildlife and inanimate objects more than actual people sometimes. But if you wanted to name them something else, he wouldn't mind at all.
The gender of his kids wouldn't matter to him, he'd take them out on little camping trips regardless.
He's the type of dad to act as if he's not telling his kids to use brute force against bullies when he's around you but he totally is. He despises bullies because he was bullied for being quiet and antisocial in school and he never did anything about it.
He would act disappointed when his kids did something mildly bad like take an extra cookie without asking but as soon as you're out of the room, Sniper would spoil his damn kids.
He likes to go out into the wilderness with his family whenever he gets a break. You go camping, fishing, hunting, and probably more. He's a very outdoorsy person and he'd be happy to teach his family about wildlife and share his passion for it.
Definitely researched everything there was to know about the biomes around where you lived, he's obsessed with these things and his new life gives him plenty of time to indulge in the things he loves.
He's secretly hoping that he'll pass his interests down to his kids but if they don't pick it up, he'd still love them the same.
Sniper would be there for every small achievement and every little win. He doesn't care how small, if its good, it's good. He knows how much a simple gesture or reward like that is important to kids.
He is not a morning person so just be weary in the morning because he'll be a little grumpy until maybe 11am or until he gets some coffee or food.
Spends as much time with his kids as his social battery will allow him to. He gets tired pretty quick though so if your kids are bundles of pure energy then he'd struggle to keep up with them but he'd really try.
He'd probably get along better with quieter kids with less energy because he was just like that when he was younger and he can understand what it's like.
Overall, he just loves his family and if you were suddenly ripped from him, he'd be literally heartbroken forever.

So anyway i made a pizza tower oc/self insert/fanchild?? Technically?? If you squint.....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their name's Ziti and they're Peppino and Gustavo's adopted "kid" (they're around 16). If you saw this post before, i aged them down a bit and changed/got rid of a few other things.
Anyway, some info about them below
I'm still too lazy to put all this into sentences and in an order that makes sense so here's a bigass list
They were adopted by Peppino and Gustavo after the tower fell
Used to work in the tower in the background, probably in a computer room. There was never much work there so they often fell asleep or doodled on the side. When there was work it was very stressful for them and they were easily overwhelmed. They never took days off cause they felt they didn't deserve to. Still, they desperately need a break (more on that in the backstory post)
Very anxious, but unlike Peppino, their anxiety does not turn into rage, just more anxiety and later on extreme tiredness. They're always tired tbh
Likes goofing around with Gustavo. He's the slightly sillier dad, while Peppino is slightly more caring and comforting (he can relate to the trans struggles. We love trans Peppino in this house). Of course, they're both caring and silly and great dads and love their kid very much
Random headcanon that Gustavo likes picking up people as a sign that he likes them a lot, and you know he often does that to Ziti (and Peppino lol)
Absolutely cannot cook, they WILL burn the kitchen down while trying to boil water. Please for the love of pizza do NOT let them near any kitchen. Peppino is honestly amazed by how bad someone's cooking skills can be (he says they're worse than Maurice's, which is saying a lot)
Not used to physical affection, at first only cuddles with Brick. Touch starved as hell.
Fakey is kinda like a mix between a best friend, a big brother, and a weird pet to them. It's weird at first, seeing how he resembles one of their dads so much, but they eventually get used to it
An awkward piece of ham™, but there's a silly goofy goober under all that anxiety
They always put other's needs in front of theirs, resulting in them neglecting their own needs because they're "not important enough" in their mind.
Always tries doing things on their own because they don't like bothering others, even if they know they can't do it alone. Will not actively ask for help but will reluctantly accept it when offered.
Giving gifts is their love language. Gives gifts randomly whenever they find something, but still feels bad when they don't have a gift on a special day (birthdays, Christmas, etc), or if they think their gift is lame
They're very forgetful, but they do remember tiny things nobody cares about. Will forget your birthday, but remembers that they once saw a frog jump directly into water and exactly how the resulting splash looked. This has no significance to anything at all, but they do remember it!
No fashion sense. At all. I mean look at them. Bland white ass. (No wonder tbh if you know where they come from)
Very pale, often got called a vampire or zombie when they were younger. Peppino and Gustavo sometimes lovingly refer to them as their little Mozzarella (despite both of them being smaller than Ziti)
Lastly, they're strangely obsessed with Noisette's cooking. Their favorite is her peanut butter spaghetti. Never gets sick from any of her food. They're not picky is all I'm saying. (Kinda explained in the backstory post)

(mafia hoseok, slice of life, fluff, stockholm syndrome, meta stuff, this is a little self-indulgent and very self-referential, a tiny bit smutty at moments but i wouldn't call this nsfw, blood, violence, guns)
i wanna write a story with mafia boss hoseok who adopts his sisters children after they die cuz of mafia reasons along with his fiance. hoseok of course, decimates the rival group who took them away from him, but after the fire and revenge has settled, there is just hoseok, just hoseok and two kids who need him.
it's not that bad, the little boy one is mainly taken care of by his men. hoseok does his best to keep them safe and separated from his criminal empire. gives them everything they could want, trusts only his inner circle of 6 to look after them.
the older one- a plucky 13 year old girl is a little bit more of a handful mostly because she asks too many questions about things hoseok cannot answer without being culpable "why do you have blood on your shoes? what kind of handgun do you carry and can i see it? why do you always talk really softly at home but yell loudly when you're in the basement?"
hoseok- knowing that the basement is a literal torture chamber, sweating, "don't you just want money for shopping or something?"
"no, i wanna become your partner, the way that mom was"
"you are literally 13"
"didn't you start when you where my age?"
"can't i just? get you a new handbag or something?" idk i just love the idea of hoseok- whose tired of his job and pissed off by it on a good day vs. a 13 year old who just wants to be a crime princess so bad.
They but heads near constantly, when she's caught sneaking out from her all girls school to smoke cigarettes, when she buys a moped with the card hoseok got her, when she tries to leave the country to go to fashion week like her mom used too (of course hoseok goes with her- but still- she's not very good at asking for permission vs forgiveness)
Obviously he's like- barely adjusting to being a parent, and grieving the loss of fiance and sister too. he's lonely and struggling with the things in his life that aren't the crime bits, he's not against admitting that, but allowing anyone, woman or man, into his life barely 5 years after they've passed feels like a betrayal.
it goes like that, slice of life, mafia man hoseok and dad hoseok chased togeather. he tries his best to show up for dance recitals (the young beta boy really really likes balet and god forbid hoseok stop anything, even convention, from getting in the way of his pups dreams,) regularly scolds the alpha girl for trying to bring her boyfriends around, "you're too young to have boyfriends" "they're just my friends boyfriends" "still, wait until you're 16- or better yet- 18"
There just isn't a shortage of problems concerning the kids, it's one thing after another. Until one night in his study, hoseok's ledgers spread out in front of him while he reclines on a tufted sette, one of his men comes to the door, an ipad in his hands and a guilty look on his face. Hoseok snaps his fingers without looking up. "we- ugh- caught her reading fanfiction again, not the appropriate sort boss."
Hoseok groans because holy fuck he was no prepared to deal with a teenage girl in his mid 30's. let alone puberty again. But then again, he's a little curious, reads a few lines of the fanfic....
Only to find out it's an exact copy of his and his ex's life, down to the things that they've said on their first date. Their first time, even her untimely death down to her last words, words that he hasn't told anyone ever. Hoseok doesn't sleep as he reads through it. The only thing that's different is their names. here, here are memories even hoseok has forgotten. It's impossible, how could someone know all this?
oh, someone knows, and he's going to tear them apart.
Of course he finds the author. using the resources of his criminal empire to track them down. he has his men abduct her. the perfect crime, executed down to the moment she's snatched. he knows the autorities will never find her or even a hint of his orginization. he brings her down into that torture room and decides....not to kill her after talking to her.
hoseok is like something out of a romance novel, the kind of one she publishes irl and not the kind that she writes and posts on the internet. intimidating and beautiful with his crossed legs, red hair, strong jaw and piercing eyes. Of course, she only publishes things as fanfiction when she feels she needs too. other stories that she feels are more polished and less an extension of her own emotions, get the published book treatment. She's already absorbing details of this, the bite of the ropes against her wrists, the damp feeling of a cloth pressed over her mouth, it's a little bit fucked up but she's only thinking "this is gonna make for some good fanfic" and not about her safety.
hoseok has only met two types of peopke, the ones that are smart and scared of him, and the ones that are stupid and unafraid.
so what if she's got a bit of a deathwish, hoseok is a little impressed, having made grown men cry and piss themselves in that very chair, she's not afraid of him whatsoever. that alone, is what keeps him from killing her. maybe it reminds him a little bit of his exfiance, the way she looks at him without fear, like he's not the boss or dad, he's just hobi.
"So you mean i'm going to stay with you, your prisoner, until you figure out how i know what i know?"
"Yes that's the jist of it. Until you confess."
"there's nothing to confess, i just- thought of it on my own, i don't know what to tell you." hoseok looks for any connection, any of the fanfic authors family, if they were connected to his fiance in any way, but truly- there is nothing in her past that connects her to him, she wasn't even living in his city before now.
it's simply a trick perhaps, or just a coincidence. Hoseok doesn't believe in coincidences.
Only, Hoseok isn't cruel enough to keep her downstairs after the first few days when his interrogations turn more...conversations. Maybe he pours over the fanfic's and asks her about specific lines the one, "nothing's broken you yet, so you have no reason to belive this will too" thats been his personal mantra for year. how could she know things that he's never told anyone is beyond him.
The house has plenty of rooms and hoseok has plenty of men to keep an eye on her, he probably puts a tracking anklet on her just incase. and of course he finds her writing on bits of paper because he won't give her a laptop.
and then Hoseok's nice gets her fingers in everything. fucking shit up as she has a talent of doing. maybe hoseok intends it to be casual "this is my friend, she's going to be staying here for the time being, be nice to her and stay out of her hair" why does hoseok feel the need to suggest the kids be nice to her? she's literally a prisoner.
but of course, hoseok's nice looks at her, turns to hoseok and says "🥺 you got me my favorite fanfic author for my birthday uncle hobi?" immediatlly- the jig is up, they talk, the mc is really kinda nice to the kid because she's not an asshole.
Of course hoseok begs her to go along with it because...he really doesn't want his nice to know that everything she read actually happened, and he's got a sweet spot a mile wide for her underneath their bickering. of course also doesn't want to let her know that he did infact almost kidnap and torture this woman. and she agrees to befriend her...in exchange for a laptop.
Things go like that for a while, and for a month, he gets used to someone being there when he wakes up, he gets used to hearing laughter when he walks in, maybe she starts to get close to the kids a little bit- the nice especially, maybe one time hoseok gets a panicked text from the mc, "Minji's boyfriend broke up with her. sos bring ice cream."
The four of them of course leave the compound, go shopping, which then turns into going to the pet store, getting a dog (that his right hand man jungkook eventually takes in because none of them are prepared to actually take care of a dog). The works, maybe they go to one of those destruction rooms and smash some stuff, or go paintballing, the m/c hitting hobi in the chest and grinning "got you." it turns out mafia bosses are generally good shots, but mafia princesses are also really good too." And on the way home, the kids tired and asleep in the back, the m/c also nearing sleep in the passengers side, hoseok looks over at her and realizes that being the kids parents, being here for minji and hanyu has gotten alot easier since she's been around.
It's not that she does any of the child rearing at all, but- adult company is nice. Hoseok's not sure he can call her a friend. when he pulls in home he looks over, and finds that she's staring back at him.
"Are you really like the man i wrote into that story."
"Yes." he admits, they haven't talked about why he's here, in a while. she looks contemplatively at him for a second, then yawns. looking back and minji and hanyu in the backseat, "i'll get him if you get her right?" and they do, they bring the both of them inside and hoseok stays awake all night with a lump in his throat.
life continues like that, blood and domestic bliss in equal measure. a few times has he come home in the middle of the day to her writing in the main recreation room with Hanyu playing with his leggos around her, "i like her, she lets me be quiet without asking me to talk lots" or spinning with him to loud loud music. hanyu really only likes balet for the spinning and twirling.
of course hoseok is curious what she's writing after a while. and is more than a little curious why she doesn't try and leave. she still has to wear the ankle monitor, but hoseok would take it off if she asked.
"honestly i'm getting so much good material from this experience and you have good taste in decor and food gets made for me every morning by seokjin- and he's a fantastic cook and an even better beta reader." Seokjin is also a really good shot, and was in the black berets before i hired him is definitely not what hoseok says. "Why wouldn't i want to stay, i don't have to worry about anything here."
"accept for your bodily autonomy????" she waves her hand flippantly, "yeah, that never mattered to me so much as long as i can write. of course he gets curious of what she's writing, hoping to find more hints of how she can know what she knows. she finds bits and peices of his men in them and writes them off as just fanfic fodder. tells minji not to bother her too much.
he doesn't really like her next project about a heist with 3 lovers who get through it after years of sexual tension only to finally confess after one member gets shot- only, why are they like jimin? tae? and jungkook all close over taehyung's hospital bed. she's gotten close to all of them, but not closer than hoseok is to them and even he didn't realize they were all in love. how have some of his longest gang members, and appart of his inner circle who have been adversaries for the better part of the last 5 years finally getting over their enemies to lovers stick? how did he not notice?
he chalks it up to a coincidence until the next time it happens, because Namjoon and yoongi have been at each other's throats for years. Who would have thought an isolated job in the mountains that lead to them being snowed in with only one bed would...lead to their eventual coupling.
after that, hoseok starts to pay attention to what she writes. he's just in the middle of a deal gone bad when he remembers what she's written the year before, something about a car bomb- he avoids getting into the car until it explodes (a la bily) and comes home a little singed and scarred.
she's in the living room, the kids are asleep upstairs, and when she stands up, hoseok feels that feeling again in his heart, that peircing ache, the same one he gets when he thinks of his dead fiance.
i'm imagining him kneeling before her, taking off her anklet, fingers lingering over her skin a little too long. looking up at her, hoseok has not knealed for many people.
"you're free to go, but before i do, i'd like to offer you a job." it's hard to describe her value to hoseok, even harder to explain it to people who don't understand, she writes, and hoseok reads them, and about 70% of the time, the events she puts down on paper actually happen. he tries to ignore the other little things that don't, she's....a really good writer. and she knows by now that anything she writes he'll tare through. even the more...smutty sections that she tries to hide. he ignores the way that tales of submission make his blood burn, the way she describes touches and hands, hoseok tries to find pleasure in his own but it remains frightfully our of reach (and maybe 3 doors down).
maybe hoseok takes her to one of his functions, the ones that he usually hates with politicians and celebrities, because he wants to treat her, wanting to give things to people isn't a feeling he's felt in a while, i imagine them dancing underneath the stars, him asking her "if you were writing this right now what would happen." "if i were writing this, you'd have already kissed me."
maybe, someone gets wind of it, maybe theres a mole in hoseoks organization that tells tales of hoseok's secret weapon. his weakness. hoseok is not prepared there is nothing in her writing that says where she is or what happens only....that last one, it's tangentially mentioned, maybe minji is the one that finds it, hoseok explains it to her the situation, why the m/c is here and what lead her to their lives, maybe he's loosing it a little and she's the levelheaded one, hanyu is in the doorway crying, maybe when they came to take her she sacrificed herself for him, told him to hide and he did. that alone, that lone would make hoseok go after her, not the living breathing terrified thing in his chest- because this- this is almost exaclty like what happned with his fiance.
minji is 14 now, 14 and smart, smarter than hoseok, "she wrote something- i know she did- here- it was in an ask- here" hoseok scans it, and the gang mobilizes it. maybe hoseok's gang asks him why, why he's willing to go to these lenghts to save her, "it's not about securing a method of income, this has never been about money."
when he finds her, she's tied up, much the same way that he was tied up, and hoseok is soaked with blood, from his red hair down his back, she always did get unnervingly graphic with her murder scenes and it feels the same way that she wrote it, white hot rage that drips down his back in time with the cooling blood. he wonders if the bruises on her face feel the same for her. he unties her and then cups her cheeks, looking down at her while she grabs his wrists. "you came for me." is all she manages to choke out, "i wasn't sure you would."
he kisses the side of his face, "of course i'd never let you go, do you feel and see the blood i'd shed for you? is this enough?" hoseok is a little fucked up, and she knows this, she knows that deep down, beneath the softness that the people he loves cultivates in him, he does not mind the killing. he'd kill again for her in a heartbeat. he's going to kill again for her and he needs to know that if she stays.
hoseok is not convinced that she should.
he takes her home, washes her off. blood dripping down the drain and the two of them pressing hurried kisses against each others mouths, even if they taste like blood a little bit, they want each other too bad, all of this built up just breaking between the two of them. hoseok spends too long listening to her heartbeat. too long but she just washes his hair while he does, a tender geasture. he's not sure that his ex ever washed his hair.
the kids are glad to see her, a little bit scared to find hoseok more hollow than he was when he left. because he knows the last time something like this happened he was too late. and there are more than a few indications that he almost was too late, in the bruises that ring her body, her own blood that he wipes from his hands.
the next day, hoseok meets with minji, hands her her first gun, "you're to report to me, you don't make tough decisions, you let me make them for you, if you have questions or need help, ask. you don't make stupid decisions, and you don't tell anyone about anything you know." She scoffs, "thats a given."
later he ends up wrapped up with the main character, touching her again and again, verifying that she's alright that she's here, and she's just scribbling away at a piece of paper while he drags his lips up and down her arm. "is this still about getting inspiration for you?"
"maybe, but you're the best inspiration i've ever come across."
yeah i wanna write this, but i probably never will~

A Stranger Things Steve Harrington Eddie Munson fic summary for an idea I will probably never have the energy to write.
So to start off it's a few years down the line and Eddie is touring with Corroded Coffin and Robin is getting a degree in something cool and Steve has dabbled with college but didn't really find it to be to his liking. He thinks about what makes him happy and it's of course Eddie and Robbin and the kids. Since his parents are the ones with money he decides to talk to them about his big idea. He wants to buy Hawkins high school (idk why it's not being used, maybe they built a new one) that he went to and convert it into a large house where he can become a full time foster parent.
Surprisingly his parents are more than happy to bankroll this project since they have been looking for ways to help the family name with volunteer work but neither of them were interested so this way they can say they are helping children in need and that their son gave up everything to be the best foster parent he could.
Steve is excited and tells Eddie and Robin. Eddie is on tour so can't do much but Robin starts helping all the time. Her and Steve pick out rooms for themselves and then design every classroom into a bedroom complete with walk in closet and bathroom. Each room has a queen bed, a desk with a good chair, beanbags. They figure it's best to keep things simple where the kids can easily decorate the rooms to their liking.
Robin gets given four tomato starts out of a red wagon on her way home one day which starts her on a gardening adventure. They are able to plan out an amazing garden and playground.
Steve's parents are in town and decide to take Steve to the mall to shop for some bedding/accessories for the house (and get photos for their bragging networking).
Eddie finds out about the mall plans from Steve and drives straight to the mall to meet him at the food court. He's just off a tour but wanted to see Steve who is so excited that Eddie put him above sleep. When Steve sees his parents he asks if Eddie wants to hang out with them but Eddie is way to tired so declines. They both stand up and give each other a good hug, arms wrapped around the other with their noses tucked into the others neck. Eddie leaves.
When Steve is shopping with his parents they start asking about his friend. Steve doesn't really elaborate too much as he is occupied on picking the best most fun things out he can.
His parents ask him to dinner the next night and tell him they wouldn't mind if he wanted to bring someone else. Steve is oblivious. At dinner his parents ask increasingly less subtle questions before finally just asking why Steve had never told them or introduced them to his girlfriend. Steve gets defensive about Robin and they're like no we know she's gay, your girlfriend from the mall.
Steve is flabbergasted. His dad starts asking if it's because his girlfriend dresses too alternative or looks too masculine and thought that they wouldn't approve. Steve doesn't know how to explain.
He ends up telling Eddie all about it and Eddie agrees to a harebrained scheme of playing Steve's girlfriend. Shenanigans ensue, including two oh shit I'm attracted to my male best friend crisis's. They end up kissing somehow, Steve confesses that Eddie is a guy not a girl and his parents are like yay now our selfless son is also gay which gives us another in to certain society members and events.
Eddie and Steve foster many kids, and adopt some. Eddie gets to be a famous rock star and Robin lives at the house with them and her eventual partner so the kids end up with four parents. All around a good time.
@steddiehyperfixation I had this idea and was hoping you'd have thoughts on it lol.

Diavolo's son's relationship with the other characters and his dad. Headcanons
Hi! Everyone here keeps giving me baby fever with these asks haha. Anyways, I hope you like it!
diavolo's son with the obey me cast
mc's gender is not mentioned, not proof read, let's assume the son is about 5-6 years old, he can be either biological or adopted whatever you like
content warnings: children
-----
Lucifer
his father likes lucifer a lot, therefore he likes him too, like father like son
one time he broke into lucifer and diavolo's meeting because he wanted to play hide and seek with them, you had to come get your son
they did do it after the meeting was finished
Mammon
mammon is very good with kids, and considering this child is yours, he will bring him many gifts
so of course the boy likes mammon
even though he's great with kids, mammon might not be the best babysitter you could find
Leviathan
levi gets kind of uncomfortable around children, it certainly doesn't help when said child wants to play games with him
his dad plays with levi sometimes! why can't he too?
so he thinks levi doesn't like him, which causes him to be not very fond of him
Satan
he can't really interact much with satan, but he kind of sees him as a role model
he's smart, reads the best stories and good with cats, how could he not look up to the avatar of wrath?
he did watch your son one time though, he loved the story he read to him
Asmodeus
maybe not an amazing babysitter, but a really fun energy to be around!
sometimes he interacts with asmo when he and solomon come over to see barbatos or something
during those times he always gets them to play some game with him
Beelzebub
he likes beel because he gives him all the akudonald's and candy he wants, but didn't tell his parents
diavolo just laughed it off when he found out, but beel kind of felt awful
beel also always lets him win at card games, the boy doesn't know this though he just thinks he must be really good
Belphegor
he doesn't interact much with belphie either, mostly because he's not in the mood for babysitting and he kind of doesn't like diavolo
but he played games with beel, and he thought belphie was really cool
one time he tried to do his hair like him
Diavolo
he clearly took after his dad, father and son love each other very much
one time diavolo went in the akudonald's playground thing with his son, they had the best time of their lives
he doesn't like it when his dad is too busy with work though
Barbatos
he wants barbatos to have more free time so he will play with him
one time he tried to vacuum the castle so barbatos didn't have to
he also likes to watch barbatos bake and cook, he especially likes it when he gets to sample the food
Simeon
simeon is one of the best babysitter options
diavolo doesn't actually like to drop his child off somewhere else but simeon is usually the first choice
luckily his son adores simeon, it's especially great because he can interact with luke, who's closer in age
Luke
they're kind of close in age, he sees the angel as a best friend
when lucifer or somebody is watching him, they get tired relatively fast, not a problem when he's hanging out with luke
they had a 5 hour long monopoly match one time
Solomon
his father always told him to never eat solomon's cooking, but those cookies looked too good to not eat
that was the moment when he stopped looking up to solomon as much as he used to
he still thinks the magic is cool though

can I please ask for a drabble of teddy bonding with the reader or Bruce??? he's just so 🥺 like I'm now convinced Jason should adopt a kid now it should be canon
"I'm sorry about this," Jason murmured, handing you his sleeping son, "If you need anything-"
"We'll be fine," you soothe, cuddling him as he fussed, going from one warm set of arms and being asleep on muscle to another softer set, burying his face in your neck. "I have 100 cupcakes to make and some things to do at the studio- he'll be too busy to worry."
"I'll make it up to you," he promised.
"I know," you murmur, kissing him gently, "Just come home."
He nodded, pausing to ruffle Teddy's hair tenderly before turning and jogging down the walk to his car.
_______
"Y/n?" Teddy said yawning as he spooned batter into a cupcake liner.
"Yes?" you hum, smiling at him. He'd had a big day. And even his indefatiguable energy was running low- but you knew he'd perk up a little after a cupcake.
"Where's your mom and dad?" He knew Jason's parents left him, like his. But he had Grandpa Bruce. And there were all kinds of pictures. But when he wandered around you didn't have any. Not of a mom and dad.
You pause for a second, considering how to say it. How to tell him they weren't in your life, and edit to make it appropriate. "They just- they're not around. It's better that way. They didn't really like me living with them." You cringe internally. It sounds lame coming out. But you can't really explain that your mom kicked you out because her boyfriend kept trying to flirt with you.
"My parents didn't like me living with them either," Teddy said nodding sadly.
"But Jay does, Teddy Bear," you hum, squatting down to be eye level with him.
"Yeah," he said brightening as he turned to look at you, a worried expression flitting across his face.
"And I like you," you tell him, grinning, "You're the best honorary intern and cupcake chef."
His little chest puffs out and he beams, throwing his little arms around your neck, "I like you too."
"You're my biggest fan right?" you tease, squeezing him back.
"Yeah!" he says, smudging a sticky, chocolate-covered hand on either side of your face to squish your cheeks like you squish his.
"That is a lot of cupcakes," Jason drawled, giving you a tired smile from the doorway.
"I'm an honorary intern, Jay!" Teddy said, launching himself at him, giggling when he scooped him up, tossing him gently.
"Woah!" he said, "Does it come with pay?" He winked at you as he watched you wipe chocolate icing off your face.
"No," he said, "But there's lots of perks."
"Well," Jason chuckled, taking the washcloth from you to wipe his face, "Perks are better than nothing when you're 6."
"Almost 7," Teddy chirped, "I didn't even get eggshell in the batter!"
"Not much anyway," you hum, standing on your toes to kiss Jason hello. Stifling a laugh when Teddy groaned.

That post about kayaking got me thinking about something. About Akari living in the Highlands with Ingo close to/during winter where snow is slowly starting to cover the area. About Akari being upset about something but she won't talk to Ingo about it. She insists that she's fine but as her dad, he knows better than that. If he can't help her by getting her to talk about it, then he can help by getting her mind off of it for a little while. By engaging in a snowball fight. She's fairly annoyed at first. Until one of their Pokemon throws one at Ingo in her defense. It quickly turns into chaos and they even manage to drag an unsuspecting Melli into it. Eventually the father daughter duo settle down by the fire to warm up and she's finally able to tell him about what's bothering her.
THIS IS SO FUCKING CUTE THO???
Akari is so used to the adults just giving her things to do, putting yet ANOTHER responsibility on her shoulders, that while she doesn't expect Ingo to do the same she's like... "well obv i am an adult now and I must keep my problems To Myself" and Ingo is like "darling child, you are a baby" bc Akari is still... idk. 13-15? That melodramatic age all teenagers go through where they think they're alone made worse by people going "also do this or die :)"
And Ingo is so Irritated by it but he doesn't have the power to tell ANYONE putting all these things on her shoulders to knock that shit off, that she's a kid, because she was doing it all before she met hm and he has no "legal" control over her. He tries to put her at ease as best he can but he's unwilling to confide in him bc she's an Adult doing Adult Things and he can't change her mind to ask for help or express her frustration.
So winter hits and she's been spending time with him, Melli over to visit and bug them both (he'd never admit he's been a little lonely, that he sees the warden and his adopted daughter as something like his closest companions in the highlands), and one night a blizzard blows in and covers EVERYTHING nearby in snow. Traveling too far is impossible by foot, and her pokemon are so blasted tired that she can't bear to ask them to take her anywhere. The snow is deep enough that even lord wyrdeer and lady sneasler and lord braviary are like "darling child, fuck no" so Ingo takes Akari with him to clear out the worst of the snow just from where he lives. And Melli is bitching about the cold and Akari is pouting and frustrated and snaps at him that she has too much to do, too much to handle, she can't be WASTING TIME here...
And Ingo throws a snowball at her.
It catches Akari in the face, gentle, but catches her off guard. She's standing still, confused and angered about what just happened, and Ingo does it again. Because he has very few memories, but he DOES remember someone important to him spiraling, and that he needed to help distract them, and so he did something they'd never expect. So he does it to akari. And she starts yelling (not as loud as Ingo can get) and he just throws another snowball and says if she wants him to stop, shes going to have to make him.
And the snowball fight starts off angry on Akari's side because she's stressed and scared and frustrated, so she starts yelling at Ingo except Melli joins in and also throws a snowball at her. She has no choice but to throw snowballs back (the idea of goin back into Ingo's home never occured to her) and at first she's mad, but then Ingo makes a move to dodge one of her throws except he slips, goes pinwheeling into Melli, and they both land in a snowbank. Melli immediately gets up, complaining about being cold, and goes inside to warm up but Ingo and Akari stay out a little while longer until theyre just chasing each other through the snow and laughing. Akari manages to shove a handful of snow down the back of Ingo's tunic, and he retaliates by filling his hat full of snow and slamming it onto her head.
And when they go back inside, the fire already lit with Melli snoozing in front of it, Akari's eyes start to water and then dribble with tears. And as they dry off and change clothes, pulling blankets around them as they sit in front of the fire, she curls up into her dad's side and quietly, fighting back tears, tells him about how scared she is of what she's doing, how she knows she can't say no. Ingo holds her close and promises that if she wants to stop, he'll help her, and if she wants his help, it's always ready to be given. Whatever she needs, if he can provide it he will. And for the first time in what feels like forever she relaxes, takes a deep breath, and lets herself be helped.

Hi, thanks for answering my ask, If it's not too hard can you tell me your race head canons for all the Mercs?
You're the best.
Engie: BLACK. He is not white. no. no don't look at the game. or the comics. or anything else related to engineer tf2. you cannot see that man at night. he's too much of a southern-black-mother-haver to be white. who cares about his dad, his MOM was BLACK. Polite, mildly violent when he needs to be, intelligent? His momma not white you can't change me.
Soldier: Native/Black. Mother Inuit and father African, OG last name Domoraud, got shortened to Doe through Immigration; OG first name was Amaqjuaq, but his parents had to choose a name on the spot. He has many identity issues, don't ask. Never takes off his helmet 'cause he doesn't like his monolids.Very touchy about the subject of race because where he lived was probably nearly as bad as Texas in terms of racism, feels he needs to devote every waking second to America or else he doesn't belong there. Yeah. He needs a bit of help. Has a weird accent but he hides it pretty well. Wow I rambled there...
Spy: Black/asian. Wow I really just dipped Tf2 into charcoal, didn't I? Didn't realize how many of them I Poc-ified until I put it down on paper. His mom was an asian woman, very stern, but she had a soft spot for her gender-weird kid. Dad was a black man, sweetheart, but he wasn't good at caring for people. Mother was a ballet star and taught him, he fucking mastered it. Broke his hip and disabled himself for life, but mastered it. Somehow he dramatizes it even more that it already was, and what actually happened was already halfway out a soap opera.
Sniper: Native. Māroi biological and Aboriginal Aussie Adoptive. He's Native on top of Native. Family spoke Antakarinya at home and he taught himself Māroi. Like Soldier, he has identity issues because languages and cultures get jumbled up in his head sometimes. Hates getting told he can't participate in Aboriginal activities because he isn't actually related to his parents. "BITCH? I WAS RAISED DOING THIS SHIT?" Is very passionate about his culture, especially his Antakarinya, because that is a language two breaths from death.
Scout: Black/white. LIGHTSKIN. CHEERIO-LOOKIN' MOTHERFUCKER. LITTLE E-FUCK-FEMBOY ASS. Soon as he pull out that fried chicken he's in a chick's panties. No explanation because you don't need one.
Pyro: Black. Heavy Nigerian accent, even when their speech isn't muffled people can barely understand them at times. Doesn't have the best english pronunciation, but their voice is jacked up anyways, so it doesn't matter. Fluent in American and British ASL despite this. Big person, bigger heart. 6'7'' 265 LB person with a voice deep enough to hit the Earth's core skipping around in Kidcore Aesthetic™️ and putting stickers on everything.
Demo: Black. we all know buddy. Although I feel like the Scottish are so on a different plane of being that they should be their own race. Black/Scottish. Very smart and has multiple degrees in chemistry and he drinks so much his blood has turned into pure alcohol. Scottish behavior. He wears kilts often, but sadly wears pants under his most times because they're. yknow. on a battle ground. But I think it's a shame. Can you tell I am getting tired.
Medic: I don't fuckin know. German. His race is Germany. The whole country. You ask him his race because his skin is very swarthy so you can't tell whether he's a really tan white guy or a weirdly light black guy. He's a pacific islander/white mix, but he actually barely knows. He'll remember his mother was Polynesian and go Oh. I forgor [Insert skull emoji and a facebook minion meme about mortality}.
Heavy: Black/white mix. He got his mother's beauty marks and his dad's bulkiness. Weird genes, very light but he has very pronounced black facial features. Big nose, big lips, high cheekbones. He gets asked if he's albino more than you would think. People actually don't expect him to have such a heavy Siberian accent because you expect white Vodka twink or white vodka dad that sneezes real fucking hard to have that much of a accent, not the guy that looks like he came out of a Nella Larsen book.
OH MY FUCK I'M DONE.

It seems for Baby!Dragonet! Reader, the majority said they wanted Logan Howlett/Wolverine as the reader's parent!
This guy is going to be very a proud and very tired dad. Likely trying to single-parent the reader, a dragonet he ended up with when they were in the egg, and has since been taking care of them. He doesn't care if they are his flesh and blood or if they're adopted; they're his, and it is what it is. Trying to keep to himself and raise a curious, brave little baby is hard work. Not to mention keeping away anyone who might try to kidnap his baby, as he does have enemies, and if they hurt his dragonet, he'd lose it. Did he tell his brother about him having an egg/dragonet? No, he didn't even remember he had a brother (amnesia). Is he with a group at the start? Not really. He is on the run, and he is doing his best to keep the two of them fed and warm at night. At least he's good at hunting... Plenty of dragons don't mind trading for food, or for pelts and bones. Plus his kid is rather cute, and most dragons like that, so they tend to get along just fine with supplies. The reader is enjoying the ride. This is the dragon they know best, and they view him as their parent. They don't know any other option. They see the good in him, and tend to bring out the best in him, and others they meet. (And when the other platonic yans do find them, they are rather glad: One, they get to have the reader with them, and Two, they get the reader's dad, who is a strong soldier and gifted in hunting and fighting. Not many cons, besides having to not miff him off, otherwise they aren't allowed near the baby).
For the tribes I'd imagine Logan would be, I have a few I usually envision him as whenever I think of Wings of Fire aus. They are:
• HiveWings
• IceWings
• SandWings
• NightWings
And
• SilkWings
Those are the five I imagine the most. As for the reader, go with whichever tribe you want. The reader could be related to him and be just one type of dragon, they could be unrelated and be another type, they could be his biological hybrid child, or an unrelated hybrid dragonet. I haven't really made any solid decisions yet for this au.
And a small bit of fun:
Dragon!Logan, talking to tiny baby!dragonet! reader: What do you have there?
Tiny baby dragonet Reader with another platonic yandere, looming awkwardly: A FRIEND!😍😊😇
Dragon!Logan now frantically snatching back the reader: NO!!!☹😖

reverse robins au :)
okay i kinda have a writeup for a reverse jaytim au written up already but yknow what this is easier LMAO anyway it's just a jason and tim swap instead of all the robins but hope you enjoy. putting most of it under a cut cuz it uh got real long.
-. Tim is a very intuitive kid but his parents tend to abide by the "children should be seen not heard" principle. They're not around that often but when they are they bring Tim around to show him off. Adults tend to ignore and even forget his presence, which results in Tim overhearing some nefarious plot that his parents won't listen to him about when he tries to tell them. Okay then, Tim thinks and goes to the next adult he feels like he could trust: Batman. Batman saves the day! And Tim even helps! Dick is long gone, off making a name as Nightwing, and Tim is smart and a quick learner. It's almost natural to give him Robin. Dick is not pleased.
But that's okay, Tim gets to be Robin! And after his training, he's damn good at it. He loves spending time out as Robin and is grateful for the times Bruce lets him stay at the manor after a hard patrol. But he also lives for when his parents come home, trying desperately to get any positive attention from them.
-. Bruce desperately wants to adopt Tim, or at least get some kind of official guardianship for when his parents are absent but... Tim loves his parents. And Bruce still has a kind of reverence to the idea of parents and doesn't want to do anything that might interfere with Tim's relationship to his. He almost brings it up several times, the last being the time Tim excitedly tells him his parents told him he'll be joining them on their next trip. Tim is so happy, Bruce decides to shelf the idea for now.
The trip goes poorly. Drake Industries deals in some pharmaceuticals and apparently Joker has developed a bit of an obsession with the idea that they might help him. Tim contacts Bruce the moment Joker shows up, Bruce asks Tim to wait for backup, Tim does not. When Jack and Janet both refuse to help Joker he kills them. Tim lasts longer with his training and Joker even remarks he's particularly slippery for some rich boy but eventually Joker manages to nail him with some acid to the face, blinding him.
Batman is far too late, Joker gets away and Tim succumbs to his injuries in Batman's arms. Before he dies he manages a weak, "I'm sorry, Dad." Bruce doesn't know if Tim was aware of who was holding him in the end.
-. Batman and Robin have obviously tangled with Ra's before and he definitely took an interest in the young Robin. When he hears about the Drakes untimely demise, well, he's simply an opportunist. Getting the body and resurrecting Tim is essentially child's play.
The pit heals the damage around and to Tim's eyes, mostly. They come out of the pit almost white, the irises ringed in green; pale discolouration splashes across his eyes and forehead. His eyesight is pretty good but he finds bright lights irritating and often opts to wear a mask with light filtering lenses.
Ra's trains Tim up to be his best assassin, playing into Tim's insecurities quite easily. Especially since dying, Bruce has adopted a new kid. Actually adopted, unlike Tim who was clearly never wanted to begin with. Not by his parents, not by Bruce, but Ra's wants him. Clearly, Timothy belongs here with him.
He stops thinking of himself as Tim after a while, instead adopting the moniker Echo.
His main weapon is a guandao.
-. Bruce has Regrets. And through those Regrets, when he first finds Jason trying to steal his car tires, he decides he's never letting an opportunity slip through his hands again. He adopts Jason and absolutely throws himself into trying to be the father he should have been for Tim. Jason honestly finds Bruce kind of overbearing 😂 but once he gets used to it it's... nice to have someone so invested in his well being. Jason, of course, learns about the previous Robin and the few times Bruce brings himself to actually talk about Tim it's always good things.
-. Echo isn't exactly pleased about the new Robin, necessarily, but why should he care when Batman clearly didn't care about him? The longer time goes on, though, the more he also begins to realize he's been manipulated by Ra's and it becomes a matter of him feeling like he can't leave now. He's not the person he was when he died, he's not even really sure he counts as a person anymore; instead feeling like he's merely an extension of Ra's's (ouch, hate typing that) will.
He starts to feel a little more like his own person once Talia enlists him to start training Damian and is eventually the one to suggest that nothing good was going to come of Damian staying here.
Ra's has Echo post up in Gotham on occasion to keep an eye on Damian, not always, but he's around more than he was before.
-. Jason's met Echo before, they've tangled on several occasions since Ra's is a continued thorn in many people's sides. He doesn't think much of him at first, just another one of Ra's assassins but when Echo ends up in Gotham more often he becomes a little... obsessed. No, really, he just has this gut feeling Echo just needs someone to help him!
He gathers as much intel as he can, which is mostly from Damian, and just sort of... ends up bothering Echo any time he shows up.
Echo isn't sure what to make of the now former Robin or his olive branch of friendship and when Ra's requires it they still end up fighting on opposite sides but Jason is sure he's getting through to him. Definitely. Echo does start to become fond of Jason.
-. Damian eventually puts together the link between Echo and Tim. He eventually decides to take matters into his own hands because Echo helped keep him safe and brought him to Bruce, Bruce clearly misses Tim and Echo is clearly not going to reach out himself.
It wasn't necessarily planned, but Damian gets in over his head with Killer Croc and Echo comes to the rescue, critically injuring himself in the process. He tells Damian to just leave him because Ra's will heal/resurrect him but Damian knocks him out and gets Bruce to bring him to the cave.
The revelation that Echo is Tim is.. a lot. Echo completely shuts down with his secret revealed, he only gives the barest of explanations and mostly refuses to speak to Bruce while he's still recovering. Jason is preferable, he's currently furious with Damian and isn't afraid to show it, but mostly he spends any time he's not sleeping just staring blankly at a wall.
Echo flees Gotham the second he's able to but he won't be gone forever ;)

How is Angel’s parents/family getting along with their newly adopted kids and “husband”
Angel's parents are going to LOVE the newfound family of +80 toys! I'm working on a small comic to show how their first meeting went before I write it post-factory arc, but although confused and extremely worried for Angel's one week dissapearance and experiences inside PlayCo, their family is, ultimately, extremely supportive of them. Angel really is their mother's kid, because Mrs. Oliveira is instantly head over heels for her surprise grandkids. Angel's dad is almost collapsing, and their brother is Very Confused. Sister-in-law is already reaching the #1 aunt spot, she's wasting no time.
The human family will be extremely helpful for Angel, helping them house hunt and get enough supplies and groceries for ALL the kiddos. They'll also babysit the kids for when Angel is away helping the Smiling Critters in the hospital, or having to run in order to talk to their lawyers and what to do against what remains of PlayCo. When Angel and the kids move to the farm house, they're there to help, and when they get better homes thanks to Angel's money, it's the toys' turn to help. I think they end up being a very close family, despite the initial distrust from the toys!
Now, for their reaction to the Prototype...
Angel's mother, Marlene, got herself mentally prepared when Angel told her about how there was one final experiment for her to meet. "He looks like an actual horror movie monster, mom. He isn't like Marie or Oskar". Marlene listened closely, and, when Prototype stepped out of his hut to say hi and introduce himself, she somehow managed to not stumble her words or look weirded out. Angel and her really are alike.
Angel's father, Roger, was way more prepared than when he first saw the toys. However, what he was expecting was for Prototype to be at least humanoid, not that centipede-looking thing. He could not look even more weirded out than he was, but he was still very nice to him, and probably asked a lot of questions before Angel told him to calm down a bit.
Angel's brother, Miguel, was a bit quiet the whole time, letting their mom do the talking and nodding along. Internally he's just "yeah, I thought he would look worse than that, but oh my God he looks this close to collapsing". Introduces himself before telling Prototype he better help Angel with the kids. Miguel can't do shit against him but he gotta protect his big sibling! Somehow!
Angel's sister-in-law and Miguel's wife, Amy, was lowkey a bit heartbroken as she thought about all the horrible things PlayCo. must have done to their first EVER succesfull experiment. She's a bit sensitive over the idea, having heard firsthand from the toys what living there was like, and gently slaps her husband's back so he can shut up. "Please ignore him, I'm very sure you are doing your best in there, you look very tired! I-I MEAN, you must be, of course you must, you-" and she goes on a rant before Miguel calms her down.
Eventually, they all get along just fine with Proto! They all have different reactions when they find out he was originally Elliot Ludwig, and as the years go by they just see him as another member of the giant household. Angel's brother, however, knows from a mile away a QPR is on the making just from the way Angel treats Prototype/Elliot. When Angel tells him about it he's just "well, took you long enough!". Angel is offended (affectionate). Amy is SO happy for them, also probably knew it since Miguel told her (he tells everything to her). Angel's dad is just "oh thank goodness you didn't get a weirder partner, I was worried someone would try murdering you for the money". Marlene was going to reprimand him but she's thinking the same.
However, when Angel and Elliot DO decide to get married on paper, Angel. Straight up forget to tell Miguel and Amy about it for a whole MONTH before dropping the info, thinking they already knew about it, before being bombarded with questions.
"Well, that's on YOU for forgetting to tell me you and Amy got engaged, Miguel!"
"TWO DAYS. I FORGOT FOR TWO DAYS".
"AND EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY KNEW. I TAUGHT YOU HOW TO FIGHT AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?"
"YOU FORGOT TO TELL ME FOR A MONTH! DO MOM AND DAD EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT?"
Angel pauses, trying to remember. Miguel is in shambles, Amy is trying not to laugh at how stupid this whole situation is. "I think I did".
Miguel looks up.
"You. THINK. You told our parents. About the fact that you are going to be LEGALLY MARRIED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE?"
"YOU FORGOT TO TELL THEM YOU EVEN HAD A GIRLFRIEND".
"I DID NOT FORGET, IT WAS A STRATEGY TO AVOID MY OWN EMBARASSMENT IN CASE SHE GAVE UP ON ME".
Angel points at Amy: "As we can see, that was for fucking nothing".
The sibling fight continues.

Two Paths Of A Transformation: Transformers Series
I decided to add this list of Transformers Series I seen and what you might see if I choose one interpretation for either Trollhunters/Transformers scenario.
Here is the list in general
Transformers Cybertron
Bayverse except The Last Knight (excluded but some characters from it might show up in Reboot)
Reboot Movieverse (No spoilers for RotB only characters mentioned are from the trailer i.e Mirage and Arcee)
Transformers Prime
Transformers Robots In Disguise 2015 (merge with Prime as there'll be major changes to the former like Older Bumblebee and both character groups interacting.)
Transformers Animated (Excluded from My Motorcycle Is A Robot since it's a fresh start for Prowl)
Now that's done. Here we go! This is what you would most likely expect between these two scenarios and the respective Transformers iteration if chosen.
Troll or More
Transformers Cybertron: Post EP 2
Autobot Discoverer: Jetfire
The Autobot was looking for clues about the Omega Lock and heard that Arcadia Oaks will be a best place to look. Jetfire didn't expect an actual war aftermath between peculiar stone creatures, humans nor the strange beast like Cybertronian. There goes hiding in plain sight.
Congrats Optimus Prime! You just became a cool dad to four more human teenagers, one teenage Cybertronian, one wizard, two Akiridions, one dragon familiar, two trolls and one plant fairy demigod. A larger audience for thy dad jokes!
Can I say Autobots in Trollmarket? Let's be real that Bud would honestly want to at least have a second base with Arcadia being a good hub for public relations as the main reason. Real one is because he wants to know more about magic.
Humans on the battlefield! I repeat humans on the battlefield! Claire just teleported Thundecracker into a cliff! Toby whacked Starscream with a gravity hammer! Where did Steve and Eli get those cannons?! Douxie clearly earned his name as he just hit Megatron with a magic guitar!
Jim is precious and he snares Jungle Planet with the curiosity of a lost Sparkling in seconds. Even when he rams Scourge for being mean to Lori. He's got 'Adopt Me' written on his forehead.
Strickler and Optimus being the responsible dads with huge responsibilities. (Both are intimidated by Barbara too.) Pirate jokes ahoy as Strickler tends to hang out on Optimus' shoulder like a parrot alongside their pirate captain.
Movieverse: Post Bumblebee
Autobot Discoverer: Mirage
Was just passing through and Arcadia Oaks being a pit stop. Optimus knew the moment Mirage mentioned running into a war aftermath that it's going to be a LONG DAY. The strange stone organics and the Cybertronian amongst them solidify it.
Tired dad Optimus Prime acquires 12 more kids with only one being a Cybertronian. All of them are mischievous gremlins and have either weaponry or powers. Primus help him.
Bumblebee is FINALLY not the youngest Autobot of the group anymore! He called dibs on big brother in an instant much to Mirage's dismay. Jim's just confused about why they're bickering and a bit too hungry to care.
Arcee has now joined the kickass girl's group. She often hangs out at Tarron's place and they talk about all kinds of stuff together. It is very refreshing especially when the girls prank the boys.
Optimus has an aneurysm the moment the kids run into the battlefield. Mirage thinks it's cool as he, Toby and Krel try out a new combo. Bumblebee is shooting from atop Jim's back. Arcee doesn't help either as she gets Douxie closer to fire off a spell.
Truck dad goes to Trollhunter dad for advice as the other two troll dads are enablers to the kids' dumb antics. Strickler just pats a shellshocked Optimus on the back while Barbara regains order in seconds.
Mirage decides Arcadia Oaks is the coolest place to hide out at. Drive Thru Movie theaters are so much more fun when you don't have to go incognito. Even if the trolls are snack thieves.
Transformers Prime/Robots In Disguise 2015: Post Darkness Rising/Trust Exercises
Autobot Discoverer: Ratchet
He rarely goes on missions, especially solo ones as someone has to maintain the space bridge. Sadly Ratchet is the only expert when it comes to strange Energon signals. He knew he shouldn't have left the base upon the now inactive warzone with the humans, stone creatures and the lone teenage Cybertronian.
Ratchet dumps 12 kids for Optimus to be an awkward dad for as he ain't herding them alone. Man is stunned by the betrayal and is so confused. He drags down Bumblebee with him since the bot got his new voice box.
You can bet your ass every Autobot had an aneurysm when the human kids ran into the battlefield. They tend to forget about the superpowers, magic and high tech weapons. It doesn't do much to ease the panic.
Secret base number 3 in Arcadia Oaks specifically connected to Trollmarket. Ratchet has to put his tools under lock and key as the trolls will eat em. At least he can study this 'Primordial Heartstone' in peace.
Optimus being so awkward especially since Jim is apparently clingy when it comes to the Prime. Why does this youngling keep trying to ram him or butt his horns against him? Blinky's answer about this being standard troll behavior for young trolls, well Jim specifically, confuses him more.
The kids and less mature Autobots definitely teach each other swears in respective languages much to Bumblebee's horror. It's quite infectious as Ratchet blurts out a Trollish swear then gasps in horror. Sidesweep and Miko thinks its hilarious.
Strickler has to help the poor Dadbots in reigning the kids. Trollhunter duties do include establishing the peace. Even if it means Barbara has to step in cause Sidesweep, Miko and Toby together are terrors.
Animated: Post Home Is Where The Spark Is
Autobot Discoverer: Bumblebee
Ratchet wanted Bee to inspect a strange minecart that had been uncovered below the base. The little bot didn't expect it be a speedy trip to California. Nor the aftermath with humans, strange stone creatures and a very odd bot.
Ratchet tries not to have a stroke thanks to the 12 new kids involved in their mission. Optimus awkwardly uses his inspirational dad skills to keep some semblance of peace. It works half the time.
Bumblebee is happy he isn't the youngest Autobot anymore but is annoyed that he's still the shortest. How come the new kid matches Bulkhead in size already and is still growing?! Toby just pats him on the back as consolation.
Prowl and Nari are nature siblings. They got a homemade garden growing near base alongside one for meditation purposes. AAARRRGGHH is often confused for a mossy rock though.
Optimus Prime is happy that someone likes hearing his speeches as Jim and Draal are curious. Everyone jokes he can now add Dadbot to his personal title. He prefers the term Dadimus.
Probably the least concerned about humans on the battlefield as they can properly defend themselves. None of the bots let them stray too far though. Even if it's funny when Starscream gets whacked in the face with a guitar and hammer.
Sari loves not being the only human in the group. Although Strickler makes sure she doesn't get into serious Troll business once the bots decide to have a second base in Arcadia. Barbara is a life saver for Ratchet when it comes to treating human youths.
My Motorcycle Is A Robot
Transformers Cybertron: Post Episode Landmine
Autobot Discoverer: Landmine
Optimus figured he should give his comrade some freedom would keep him from going stir crazy as he recovers. Why not check out California with Cody? Neither of them expected to discover a now inactive warzone nor the lone bot amongst humans and strange stone beings.
Congrats on the 13 new kids Optimus Prime. Although it seems Prowl is less than enthusiastic to talk with the dad pun machine. Maybe something happened in the past?
"How To Accommodate A Half Troll In Your Secret Base, Written By An Autobot". Red Alert learns that Jim should never forget his special Sunlight Protection necklace as sunstains are difficult to tend to. Disgust Against Merlin increases. P.S Lock up any important tools or they might get eaten by a hungry half troll.
Autobots try to bond with the ninjabot albeit with varying success. Landmine has the most success while poor Optimus needs Draal and Jim to help him even talk to Prowl. It's gonna take awhile...
Teenagers being absolute terrors on the battlefield much to the Decepticons sudden horror. You know shit is about to hit the fan when Starscream gets clocked by a crystal hammer then knocked over by a half troll teen. Prowl is the only Autobot proud with the chaos.
Barbara being an absolute terror as she represents the Trolls when meeting planet leaders. Scourge gets throttled by a half Troll mother into next week much to Override's amusement. Better by on your best behavior in Arcadia should ya visit!
Beast Cyber Planet Key and Jim? Unpredictable combination of monstrous proportions. Jim learns how to be a beast alongside Leo Breaker. Prowl gets dogpiled later as the poor former human misses his brother.
Movieverse: Post Bumblebee
Autobot Discoverer: Optimus Prime
He had picked up an unknown distress signal linked to his comm. system. The source being somewhere in Arcadia Oaks, California. Optimus never thought it to be a horrific aftermath of a war between humans, strange stone entities and the lone Autobot who looks at him like a ghost.
Optimus becomes an even more tired dad to 13 kids with one avoiding him and Bumblebee like the plague. At least he has some help in the form of the human 'Trollhunter' turned half troll. Primus give him more assistance.
Young Autobots are curious about how it's like to have two non-Cybertronian siblings and be adopted by a former human. Prowl just stares before pointing at his two trollish siblings cross horns as they spar while Barbara fell asleep on some tires from exhaustion. "...Guess this is how bossman feels everyday."
Is it bad to be half concerned about how feral these teenagers are on the battlefield? Prowl ain't holding them back nor is Barbara. Optimus knew he needs a drink later when Toby began to FLY with his hammer.
Secret weapon to handling young Autobots is a half troll mother. It is quite a sight to see a small woman drag a giant robot by his servos after he got into a police chase. Even more impressive with the scolding that follows.
Bee and Optimus try to reach out to Prowl. Ninjabot closes up until his two siblings give him a shove. Reluctant bonding time with heartache ahoy!
Arcadia Oaks proves to be very whacky after they welcome the refugee Autobots. Laying low is a bit difficult when a goblin hungrily stares at your tires. Good thing there are places they can hide out that isn't the street.
Transformers Prime/Robots In Disguise 2015: Post Darkness Rising/Trust Exercises
Autobot Discoverer: Arcee
She had been investigating a possible Energon Mine when a signal reached her. Arcee obviously alerted command before she went to check it out. The war aftermath between humans and strange stone beings were not what Arcee expected. Neither was the bot amongst them.
13 kids gets adopted and split between Ratchet, Bumblebee, then finally Optimus. Prowl doesn't seem to want anything to do with the three Autobots or Bulkhead though. Not a great start.
Grimlock wanting to roughhouse with Prowl's trollish siblings? Absolutely! It's way more fun when they can be wild just like this Dinobot! Barbara makes sure the boys don't go too far though troll mom might step in for a turn.
Most concerned about humans not only being on the battlefield but Prowl is all for it! Becomes clear that the 'War For Arcadia' went much deeper than they thought. At least there is some supervision...
"How To Treat Sunstains, Written By A Tired Autobot". Ratchet is just lucky that it's similar to dealing with metal burns. Although Miko is getting scolded later as Jim gets treated. At least he doesn't try to run like some patients.
Blinky, Eli and Fixit are disastrous conspiracy nuts that need to be watched at all time. Doesn't help when Krel, Sideswipe or Miko likes to enable them for even extra chaos. Prowl is quick to call Barbara before they set a house on fire.
Team Unknown Heartache tries to befriend the ninjabot. Half troll mom intervenes before Prowl has a mental breakdown. Trauma is very hard to recover from so it's best to take one step at a time.
And that's it! Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Arcadia. For now Transform and Roll Out!

Double Trouble would be a horrible parent have they realized the full extent of what having children would do to them?
Are they willing to give up their free and somewhat chaotic life to make sure that these kids are actually taken care of?
And don't get me started on alastor
Is he even prepared to take care of the kids?
(Im so so sorry. 😭😭i love them, but everyone loves a good agnsty)
//TW: blood, glitching images, bloody weapon. Carry on! <3//:
Tumblr media
"Ohohohohoho...you really wanna start this shit, huh? Well then: bring it, bitch."
This girl is willing to defend her family to death if she had to. She still hasn't cleaned up after that last anon, but why would she when she had to deal with this one?
"I'll sure as hell show you why I'm the Radio Demon's adopted daughter---"
Tumblr media
"Sweetheart, don't. You shouldn't be doing this type of stuff...and there is blood all over you. Where'd you get that bat anyway? Just how much did you hit someone?"
They were more confused than concerned, annoyed, even. Still, they grabbed a wet cloth and started cleaning one cheek, and their hand went on the other.
"Plus it's too late to back down now, due to being further in. So..."
"But I wanted to protect you guys! This jerk started bein' mean to you and Dad!"
"I know, I know, but we're adults, honey. We can handle this ourselves."
Tumblr media
"Your nari is correct, Little Miss Sunshine. You needn't worry about a thing."
His tone was somewhat on edge...truthfully, he was not in the best mood. With all the...interesting asks from the anons as of late, it was becoming more and more frustrating. How many people did he have to kill this week? Last week? It was too many...
"Now, give me the bat please~"
Tumblr media
"No."
"...what?"
"Oh no."
"I. Said. No."
Tumblr media
"Oh ho ho! Surely, that's meant as a joke, my dear! You're quite a jokester, well played!"
He kept his hand outstretched for her to give him her softball bat. Yet when she glared at him, things certainly got interesting. Her defiance was new...perhaps she was passionate about what she was fighting for here.
"Oh, so funny I forgot to laugh. But I'm keeping the bat."
"My my, how charming! But I'm being serious, hand over the bat please."
"No."
"Excuse me?"
"I said no, I'm not gonna let this anon go unscathed. They're being a douche!"
"We can handle ourselves."
"But I want to help."
"You don't need to."
"Can you just let me?!"
At this point, she sounded rather...uncharacteristically bratty. This was new...and he didn't like it.
"...ahah. Well, I didn't think I'd have to do this."
"...Alastor, what are you going to do?"
"Oh, nothing too horrendous. But just enough for her to listen."
The smile dropped. He looked dead serious and dead tired now, given on how much his eyes were narrowing.
Tumblr media
"Give me the goddamn bat before I ground you for talking back to me, Samantha."
"....fine."
"Splendid! Now, clean yourself up honey, because there is no need for any more violence!"
All she did was mumble something incoherently and tread off, still annoyed. Bat in hand, he brandished it out of boredom.
"I wonder what's wrong with her."
"She's probably just annoyed with the anons, Al..."
"...ah. True..."
And that was all the confirmation he needed.
