I keep thinking about your TJ and I don’t think he’d have kids* BUT the concept of Bruce inviting TJ and his kids over for some family get together and telling all his kids they need to behave and be proper because TJ’s kids are NOT used to Wayne Family Antics (TM) and he shows them a picture of these perfect angels smiling all sweetly at the camera and cuddled with their mean mugging dad just for them to be actual demonic beings from Hell is so funny. Jason’s all pissed because “dammit Bruce I have to hide ALL my fucking guns” and just for these kids to say shit like “guns are so impersonal we prefer knives 🥰”

*I don’t think he’d have kids so maybe he gets his Wayne patented baby fever out by fostering kids and he just so happens to attract mean TERRIBLE children :( (he loves them with all his heart)

TJ WITH KIDS? I LOVE????

The bat kids should have the worst possible cousins in history; They parade so angelically and guiltlessly and purely, when actually, they’re probably keeping Joker as a piñata in a basement.

TJ’s youngest tried poisoning Tim 4 times, with 4 different types of venom from the snake reservoir Damian keeps in his room. “Strangely, it tastes…Good.”

Jason gawks, “you DRANK that? You little FREAK?”

“What was I supposed to do? Throw coffee away like a Neanderthal?”

“Spit it out?? You’ll die?”

“You don’t control me.”

Damian keeps trying to prove these abominations are the root of evil (they didn’t sharpen his crayons after using them) and Bruce is just like, “Your cousins need to feel welcome here. They’re very nice kids.”

Bruce knows.

TJ does, too. “These kids have the Martha Wayne gene. Good luck trying to tell them what to do.”

BESTIE. I must inform dump on you regarding one TJ wayne because. Because it's just so fucking funny to me???

Thomas and TJ literally looked at eachother, said " your vibes are rancid actually " and disowned one another. TJs been on his own since he was 10 and an absolute terror for boarding schools.

He was the kid sneaking vodka in water bottles and pretended to shrug off a bad grad only to key his teachers car after. Was probably there when Bruce raced with Oswald and laughed his ass off when batman ate shit.

Captured everything ofc,

" smile :)"

" ...I hate you"

" I know <3"

Very much azula if azula was a loser and also somehow. Meaner

My dumb ass was about to ask if Tommy Sr saw how Bruce was acting as a teen and thought he had another TJ on his hands.

Because it sounds like TJ just hit that "I hate everyone" stage earlier than Bruce.

But does Bruce even know about TJ? Like, where did he come from?!

And who looks at a 10 year old who's disowned his father and goes, "Yeah, he's fine to go to school. No, full time elementary classes won't pose any kind of problem at all whatsoever."

And who looks at their 10 year old and goes, "Yeah, there's nothing redeemable about this situation, please get out of my life small child with only 90% of your logical brain development and who has yet to even experience the personality change that come with puberty."

As far as I can tell both Tommys are 100% wrong in this situation and I can't believe Martha didn't put them in a Get Along Sweater, shakin' my head.

And yes, 1,000%, Jason would be up in arms at how TJ is treating Bruce, then turn around and continue to bully Tim and Damian.

I feel bad for Alfred in this whole mess.

I WANNA HEAR FROM THIS DUDE. Give him an entire hour of anonymity, let's hear it all

⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

TW: skate blade injury, medical, emergency, blood, bruise

Ok this is an EXCELLENT article about neck guards and cut-resistant turtleneck undershirts.

please read to the end. Dr Hayley Wickenheiser provides incredible insight about freak accidents and the medical emergency process that shifts the article a couple of times.

$wall: After Adam Johnson's death, will 'stubborn' NHL players embrace neck-protective gear?

A little more than a year ago, T.J. Oshie read a story about a young boy who was cut in the neck by a skate blade during a youth hockey game. Almost instinctively, Oshie reached for his phone and contacted his partners at Warroad, the hockey apparel company he helped found six years ago. What started as a way to create undershirts that weren’t itchy and irritating had developed into a safety-conscious business that helped develop new, cut-resistant fabrics to protect players’ wrists and Achilles tendons.

Now, Oshie wanted turtlenecks to protect the most dangerously exposed part of a hockey player’s body — their neck, and the carotid artery within. Sure enough, Warroad came up with a sleek turtleneck with its “tilo” design, which includes cut-resistant panels built into the fabric.

It worked.

And Oshie still didn’t wear them.

In fact, he doesn’t believe a single player in the NHL wears anything of the sort. None of the bulky neck guards that are mandatory in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Ontario Hockey League (but not the Western Hockey League). None of the Kevlar-style fabric turtlenecks that are becoming more readily available all the time, from companies such as Warroad, AYCANE, and Cut-Tex Pro.

Players have their reasons. Oshie said NHL rinks are “hotter” than ever, with guys sweating through several undershirts a game, and the thought of wearing a turtleneck in such a warm environment is unappealing. Players are superstitious, wearing the same shoulder pads they used in juniors, using the same brand of skate they’ve worn since they were kids, using the same tape job and knob style they’ve used forever. And, well, turtlenecks and neck guards don’t look cool. Heck, only Wayne Gretzky and Tomas Plekanec ever really pulled off the look.

“It’s not a cool look having neck guards on,” Oshie said. “For whatever reason, it’s just not something that’s sleek and looks great.”

But then Oshie learned about Adam Johnson’s death on Saturday night. Johnson, a former player for the Pittsburgh Penguins, was cut in the neck by a skate blade during a game in England and died, shaking the hockey community to its core. Players and coaches from around the league expressed their heartbreak over the tragedy. But Oshie did more than that.

He ordered five Tilo turtlenecks from his company. One for him and four for some of his teammates to try. They’ll arrive on Monday. And he’s going to try playing in them. Because Johnson’s death did more than devastate the hockey world. It opened the hockey world’s eyes to an inherent — and possibly preventable — life-threatening risk that comes with playing the game.

At any level.

“I just wish these things never had to be made, and injuries like this would never happen, because it’s so sad,” Oshie said on his way to the Capitals’ game against the Sharks on Sunday evening. “It hits me pretty hard, just thinking about my kids. I could take one to the neck tonight. And for them to not have a father — it’s just so sad and it makes me think twice about protecting myself and my neck out there. Whether it looks cool or not.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Jason Dickinson didn’t know what had happened to Boston’s Jakub Lauko last Tuesday at the United Center, he only knew that it looked gruesome. One of Dickinson’s Chicago teammates asked him what had happened and Dickinson speculated that Lauko had hit his head on the boards and “split open.”

After the game, Lauko’s bloodied face was still a topic of conversation in the Blackhawks dressing room. Dickinson heard someone say that it was a skate blade that caught Lauko in the area of his left eye.

“A skate?” Dickinson said. “How did that happen?”

“It was your skate!” a teammate told him.

“Are you kidding me?” Dickinson responded. “When?”

It had happened when Dickinson was falling into the boards after a push from Boston’s John Beecher. Lauko was already down on all fours, and Dickinson’s skate caught him in the face. As mangled as his face was in the aftermath, Lauko was extraordinarily lucky the skate missed his eye. Dickinson never even felt the contact.

Dickinson, after learning it was his skate, immediately checked in with the team’s medical staff to find out if Lauko was OK, and was indescribably relieved to find out he was. Dickinson’s heart went out to Johnson’s family on Sunday, but he also spared a thought for the player whose skate caught Johnson in the neck.

“I feel for (him) as well,” Dickinson said. “He’s on the other end of that and he’s going to have some stuff to work through, because that’s heavy stuff. I guarantee he feels guilty right now, even though it’s a freak accident.”

That’s a word you hear a lot when it comes to skate-cut injuries, whether it’s Pat Maroon’s skate slicing through Evander Kane’s wrist last season or Matt Cooke’s skate tearing Erik Karlsson’s Achilles tendon 10 years ago. A “freak” accident. A “freak” play.

But is it? After all, this is a game played by people moving at exceptional speeds with exceptional force wearing exceptionally dangerous weapons on their feet. If anything, it’s shocking that skate cuts don’t happen more often.

Hayley Wickenheiser, a Team Canada legend, assistant general manager for the Toronto Maple Leafs and emergency physician, bristled at the depiction of such incidents as “freak” occurrences.

“I don’t think this is a freak thing, I think it happens quite a lot,” she said. “It’s just the injuries are superficial, or the players are lucky. This isn’t something that doesn’t happen; it happens a lot in hockey. Sticks come up, skates come up, and the neck is very susceptible. So whatever we can do to make (neck protection) more mainstream and just part of the equipment, the better for the future of the game. It just makes sense to me.”

Indeed, while terrifying incidents like the cuts suffered by Johnson and former Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk are thankfully very rare, it seems like every player has a story to tell of a close call, a near miss, a Lauko-style bit of “luck.” Dickinson took a skate on the collarbone during a game against Vegas last season and “immediately panicked,” wondering if a major artery was nicked.

“I remember the ref looked at me right away and said, ‘That was real close, Dickie,’” Dickinson said. “I’m like,’ Yeah, you’re telling me. I can f—ing feel it.”

Oshie was volunteering at a camp at his alma mater, North Dakota, some years ago, when he was rough-housing with the kids. They were dog-piling him on the ice, falling all over each other, laughing hysterically.

“Then one kid came in full speed and slid into the pile feet-first, and he actually hit me square in the face with his skate blade,” Oshie said. “So I had to get stitches above and below my eye. I still have a scar in my eyebrow that goes into my forehead. Luckily, it was flush with my face so it didn’t cut my eye.”

They can’t all be “freak” incidents, right?

“It’s unfortunate,” Blackhawks coach and 21-year NHL veteran Luke Richardson said. “It’s one of the fastest games on Earth, with razor blades on the bottom of your feet. It’s very scary and things happen quick. … I don’t know if there’s any way to guarantee that there’s going to be protection. Even if you do wear something. You can’t be in a tin can top to bottom out there for protection. It’s the risk that the pro players take.”

Richardson cited Oshie’s company as a valuable resource for players, and suggested that with time, neck protection will become normalized in the NHL. When he entered the league in 1987, there were still players playing without helmets. It took years after that for visors to become the norm to protect players’ eyes. Richardson hoped that with neck protection becoming more and more common — and mandatory — in lower leagues, it’s only a matter of time before it “graduates up” to the NHL.

Arizona center Nick Bjugstad, who played with Johnson in Pittsburgh and called him “just a kind human,” said he couldn’t bring himself to watch the video, so he doesn’t know exactly how the cut happened. But he thinks the answer is pretty obvious.

“There are times that your feet go out from under you and you don’t have control,” Bjugstad said. “As far as the precaution going forward, I’m sure it’ll be discussed in the league. It’s even more important on the youth side of things, with the lack of athletic trainers and whatnot. I hope we can figure something out as a hockey community that protects us from something so tragic happening.”

Scott Sandelin, who coached Johnson at Minnesota-Duluth, said making neck protection and Kevlar-style undergear mandatory has come up in conversations around the NCAA championship committee, with longtime Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin leading the charge.

“He was like, ‘Why do we wait?’” Sandelin recalled. “Why do we wait for something like this to happen before you mandate something?”

Dickinson said the NHL provided a video at the beginning of the season highlighting the benefits of cut-resistant sleeves to protect the wrists and Achilles tendons, and those have become quite popular around the league. But neck protection remains ignored by everyone other than goaltenders.

Johnson’s death surely opened some eyes around the hockey world to the risk of skate cuts to the neck, and it appeared that several Providence Bruins, in the AHL, wore neck guards on Sunday. That’s a start.

But why does it have to be a years-long process? Why can’t it happen sooner? Why do players have to be grandfathered in to avoid any mandates whenever a new equipment mandate is instituted?

“Because they’re stubborn,” said one NHL equipment manager, who was granted anonymity so he could speak freely. “It’s a monkey-see, monkey-do league. All it would take is one guy to wear it. Then two days to get used to it.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Wickenheiser has a similarly simple solution to getting players past all their superstitions and habits, to get them to embrace what seems like such an obvious solution to a terrifying problem.

“You just put one on,” she said. “I wore one for 20 years with the national team, it didn’t interfere with anything I did. … It’s just like anything else, when one player does it, everyone sees it and it becomes normal. I can’t even remember hockey without visors now, and I grew up watching the world of hockey without visors. I can’t even imagine not playing with a visor with how fast the game is.”

As an emergency physician and all-time hockey great, Wickenheiser is perhaps uniquely qualified to weigh in on the subject. She knows how well-stocked NHL arenas are in terms of medical care. She also knows it’s not nearly enough if, God forbid, a situation similar to what happened to Johnson happens in an NHL game. The thought has frequently crossed her mind that if there were an incident at a practice, she might be the most qualified person in the rink that day. She runs the scenarios in her mind constantly, and “it truly horrifies me.”

“You know how little time and resources you have to save a life in that moment,” she said. “The deck is entirely stacked against you as a physician. In the NHL buildings, there would be qualified physicians, there’s (emergency medical services) in the building. You have every resource at your fingertips. But what you don’t have is time. You need a surgeon and you need blood and you need time, and there’s none of those things in that moment. It’s just such a devastating injury. It freaks me out, for sure.”

It’s something players rarely think about. Can’t think about, really. Richardson said it was similar to a football player coming back from a knee injury — if you’re constantly wondering if the surgically repaired knee will hold up, you’ll never be playing at full strength and full speed. Hockey players have to feel invincible out there in order to take the risks they take on seemingly every shift.

But Oshie said there’s an instinctive, almost unthinking awareness of what your skates are doing at all times. Because the danger is always in the back of your mind, if not the front.

“I think you’re always very conscious of where your skates are when you’re playing,” he said. “I know I am. If someone’s on the ground in front of you, even if you get pushed from behind, you always get your feet out of the way, if that makes sense. It might look terrible if someone is about to fall on someone and goes knees-first, but that’s what you do instead of trying to land on your feet. I just assume that everyone else has that same mentality. But those very freak things happen. You get pushed from behind and you stay on one foot and the other foot comes up. I took a skate blade to my visor in our last preseason game, just this year. So I was a couple inches away from being cut somewhere.”

The game only gets more dangerous with each passing year. Players get bigger, stronger, faster. Skate blades are removable now, and they stay razor-sharp throughout the game, rather than dulling with each shift. Ignoring the risks won’t make them go away.

The introduction of the slap shot led to the goalie mask. Whippier sticks and more dangerous shooters made visors inevitable. Ten or 20 years from now, it’s easy to envision players regularly wearing full face shields. The Karlsson and Kane incidents, among others, helped spur the creation and popularization of wrist and ankle sleeves.

Neck protection will undoubtedly follow. It’s just a matter of when.

And if Johnson’s tragic and shocking death doesn’t prove to be enough to open eyes and open minds, then what will?

“There are options out there, and it’s not a bad idea at all,” Dickinson said. “It’s about awareness. And events like (Saturday) night, events like Kane’s, like Karlsson’s — those really make guys think and get them worried. It’s definitely something I’d consider now. I mean, who cares what it looks like? Looking lame and living is a lot better than the opposite.”

Owen VS. TJ Chapman?

I recently had the pleasure of hearing some feedback from Mr. TJ Chapman. my manager sent him a record of mine over to him, it was tribute song for my uncle roy (R.I.P.) and its on my new album #Realignment set to drop on #October6th and I was told that basically i'm trash and "nothing special" so, with that being said, I decided to give mr. chapman a little glimpse of what in store for the game and what i'm bringing. THIS IS ISNT A DISS SONG but Its definitely gonna ruffle some feathers.

Thats just the type of person I am, why not shake these industry niggas up? I have the talent, work ethic, charisma and drive to out do the competition and i'm done with all that humble shit they expect me to be on. I personally feel like i'm lyrically better than anyone of TJ chapman's artist and to hear un kind feed back from someone who hasn't had a spitter like me ever on his roster shouldnt talk. I may not have the acolades but NONE of these rappers today fucking with Owen-Ness

100!

Every part of a family has the “problem child”, the scapegoat, the child that is hard to love and hard to hate

For the Kane family, it’s Philip

Philip has also been seen as disappointment and a brat by his parents and especially by Jacob but not by Martha

For the Wayne family, it’s Thomas Jr.

TJ is loved by his family but also not fully understood or appreciated but still loved by them unconditionally

For Bruce’s kids, it’s Jason

Jason is ride or die when it comes to family but he also wants their approval more than anything

Every family has a kid that they love but also don’t fully understand

Silk Hiding Steel

Can be read on ao3 here.

Damian Wayne learns about his maternal grandmother through his father’s legacy.

It was through tragedy, as most legacies wont to have. A punk with a gun, a set of clumsy fingers desperate to hold a heavy wallet and a hunger in his eyes for the shiny pearls around her neck.

Gothamites know Martha Wayne as the wife of Thomas Wayne, poor Bruce Wayne’s loving mother who was ripped from his side too soon.

Damian had roughly the same image of her.

Until he didn’t.

It started with a switchblade.

Since young, Damian was gifted with more weapons than toys. Some children wanted Nerf guns; his mother gave him a crossbow. Some children smacked each other with toy lightsabers; he nursed knuckles bruised by a bokken. Some children desired a puppy; Damian got Goliath, then Alfred (the cat), Titus and Bat-Cow.

His father, despite his many misgivings towards his upbringing with the League, saw no problem in resuming this particular tradition of gift-giving. In fact, many of his siblings boasted weapons gifted to them in similar fashion.

Thus, the first weapon he gifted him was a switchblade. The blade was sharp and its mother of pearl handle was as exquisite as it was cold against his skin. It reminded him of an angel, embodying beauty and death in one.

“It’s beautiful.” He said, noting how perfectly balanced it weighed in his hand.

“It was my mother’s.” baba said wistfully.

Damian froze.

“This belonged to grandmother?” he asked.

“It’s a Kane heirloom.” baba replied.

Damian stared at the switchblade, perplexed. He knows that Thomas Wayne owns an extensive collection of scalpels. However, the thought of sweet Martha Wayne’s hands touching such a deadly weapon seemed like blasphemy.

………was it?

His ignorance buzzed around his conscience like a persistent mosquito.

Who was Martha Wayne, really?

________________________________________________________________

He finally verbalizes the question when he’s aiding Pennyworth in the gardens (the same garden Martha cared for, the same one with the blueberries a young Bruce would eat until he was sick).

“Tell me about my grandmother.”

The words were blunt but the tone was soft. Though he was looking away from Alfred, the old man could practically taste the curiosity.

Thus, being the loyal butler that he is, he complies.

Damian learns more about his grandmother in that evening than he does his whole life.

He learns that Martha Wayne liked rock music. Bets that she would’ve adored his father’s Nirvana collection just as much as he does if she had the chance.

He learns that she hates cooking. Learns that she couldn’t sew to save her life but easily learned how to suture a wound under Thomas and Alfred’s guidance.

He learns that she didn’t need to garner attention to know that she already had the life of a party in her bones because she danced best when there was no music.

He learns that her favourite colour was sugar white.

The same colour as the switchblade Damian’s taken to carrying with him at all times. The same colour as the pearls that became Martha Wayne’s noose.

That night, Damian turns the switchblade over in his hand, its handle feeling just a bit warmer against his palm.

________________________________________________________________

“You’re just like her, y’know.”

Damian blinked, looking up to see his uncle staring at him. The wistfulness in his eyes was a mirror of baba’s, the clarity of it piercing through the cigarette smoke spilling past chapped lips.

Damian’s head inclined ever so slightly in silent question.

“Your grandmother. Your hands are like hers.” TJ explained.

Now that was a new and completely unexpected (compliment?) comparison. Many have commented that he had his mother’s eyes, his father’s jawline, either of their competence or determination; not once have they drawn parallels to him and his paternal grandmother.

(He finds himself preening a bit at that; that Ra’s is no longer the only grandparent to compare himself to.)

“What makes you say that?” he asked.

A cigarette is stomped underneath boots that’ve seen better days so his hands are free to pull a switchblade out of his jacket.

Its handle was black mother of pearl, reminding the youngest Wayne of ink. But it’s just as elegant and small in TJ’s calloused hands as it is in Damian’s.

“All those assholes could do was ogle at the silk she wore, so caught up in betting on when her pearls turned into her noose that they never noticed the knives she had underneath.” TJ explained, deftly flipping the blade.

“Did she ever use them?” Damian asked, morbidly fascinated.

“Kid, some girls had dolls, Kane women had knives. Neither of these came from dear old dad.” TJ snorted. “People always fret that killers can pretend to be kind, they forgot it went both ways.”

Because even gentle hands can learn to hurt others. Hands like his baba’s, like his siblings, like his. Hands like Martha Kane’s Wayne’s, apparently.

“What would she say if she could see me now?”

Damian winced at the childish weakness lacing each of those words.

But TJ, an imperfect reflection of his grandfather’s face with his grandmother’s eyes and a mouth as foul as the worst dumpster in the Narrows, gives his shoulder a gentle squeeze. The tenderness in his eyes is alien to others because it spoke of a home he can no longer return to.

“She would’ve adored you to that Metropolis boy scout’s rock and back, kid. Would've somehow spoiled you fucking rotten more than you already are.” He replied.

“Tell me about her.” Damian demands once more.

TJ lights another cigarette and though Damian abhors the smell of it, he listens to every smoky word with rapt attention.

He learns that Martha Wayne’s smile is at its sweetest when she’s cursing an ignorant condescending asshole in wine-smooth Italian.

He learns that she enjoyed greasy food, much to Alfred’s chagrin.

He learns that she’d smoke the same cheap brand of cigarettes as his uncle, much to her husband’s chagrin.

He learns that she’s the one to help Thomas clean the blood out of his fingernails and press an ice pack against the bruise he got from defending a harassed working girl.

He learns that she not only enables but participates in Bruce’s habit of bringing home injured strays to nurse back to health.

He learns that she was never a pure angel. No, she was more than that.

She was the heart of the family, one of many hearts in Gotham’s vessel. She was a bloody organ beating life through the body of a scarred entity too large for her.

He learns that she was strong (perhaps the strongest of them all) because she chose to be kind and gentle and loving despite being capable of cruelty and hatred. Because even Martha Wayne was only human.

A/N: Hi, don’t mind me, just vomiting this out after binge reading @bruciemilf posts about Thomas Junior, Martha, the Kanes/Waynes in gen & their ao3 fic ‘Cain Instinct’. So huge thanks to bruciemilf for once again inspiring me.

LAST LINE TAG GAME!

Take 2.0 XD ! Got tagged again, this time by @tj-dragonblade , thanks friend 💜

I haven't written anything at all in the interim but I have doodled a little more on this WIP:

Do I know what I'm doing? Nope. Can I actually draw? Also no. I'm blaming this squarely on @quillingwords ! You're a terrible enabler 😂

So why am I drawing an insanely detailed cloak for Dream? (I mean, apart from the fact that he's a Diva and would absolutely wear that)

Because Dior. And the hat. I love the ridiculous hat. Thid whole thing gives a bit Season of Mist but with more bare chest out lol)

I'm tagging @aria-lerendeair , @bruce-wayne-simp , @lenreli , @immacaria , @staroftheendless ! I have no idea who has been tagged already, sorry!

#look i really dont know what im doing here #my lines are shaky as hell but nvm XD #this took me waaaay too long and will yet take me longer to finish #im kinda iffy about posting this at all bc im not an *artist* artist #you know what i mean lol #dream of the endless #the sandman #the sandman fanart #ginoeh doodles
