You know how Dick gives everyone hugs like an octopus, what if his hugging habits rubbed off on everyone else. Like everyone just clings to Bruce's legs, arms, and the like.

Before Jason came home, Bruce was the tallest, and Dick was the one initiating these hugs. Basicly Dick has shown everyone that whenever anyone wants to get picked up, they all go climb Bruce.

One day, a few days after Jason agreed to stay at the manor long-term. Bruce pulls Jason over to the side.

Bruce, whispering: There's something you need to know if you're gonna stay here– Jason, in his normal voice, cause why the hell is he whispering in his own home: Yeah yeah no killing, rubber bullet yahda yahda Bruce: No it's not that I trust you not to kill people. It's about the others. Jason half distracted: huh, what about the others? Bruce trying to find a polite way to talk about his children: ah well you see they really like hugs– Jason: you pulling over to warn me about hugs?  Really old man? You've lost your edge Bruce ‘I love my children’ Wayne: When I say they like hugs, I mean that in a kinda kaola demon way Jason cracking: Really is that what they are? God Bruce this is a new low I thought you wanted stay here? Bruce: I do! More than anything but I wanted to warn you– Jason: that children like hugs? Cause who could had thought of that. Bruce with a very serious expression: yes that but you dont understand– they, they climb Jason: What the shit are you talking now? Bruce: They climb me and latch on. They climb the doorframe of the manor to jump on me, they koala onto me in the damn batsuit, and now I fear they will climb you. Jason: oook, and how did you decide this? Bruce: Jaylad, you're taller than me and almost as much bulk in their eyes; you're a freaking Jungle gym. Jason: What about Dick? He's not that much shorter than you? Bruce: Who do you think started this?!

To anyone who thinks Bruce has a clear and consistent favourite child I raise you this: it is infinitely funnier for Bruce to have a complicated and elaborate “ranking” system of his kids that only he’s privy to.

Picture this: Batman, dosed with truth serum, gets asked as a gag from one of the goons holding him captive who his favourite bat-vigilante is and instead of giving a straight answer, he launches into this whole explanation about the ranking system and who’s in the current lead, who’s hanging behind, etc. At some point (this is a mystery to everyone involved) a whiteboard appears and he starts explaining his system like he’s a football coach before an important match. Out of nowhere he starts pulling out little cardboard cutouts of his kids and pins them to the board. At some point the red string comes out.

Jason hasn’t killed someone in a week? Automatically promoted to favourite. Tim hasn’t caused an international incident in the past month? Puts him a few points ahead that keep decreasing the longer he refuses real sleep (20 minute power naps don’t count Tim! Says powernap inventor Bruce Wayne). Cass gave him a hug this morning and wished him a good day? Favourite until he gets a call from dick telling him (without shouting!!!!) that he’ll be there for this week’s Sunday dinner. Duke accidentally scratches the Batmobile? Demoted to the “in trouble” zone (which, honestly, that’s where his kids spend most of the time in😭). Damian did not attempt to free all the animals in the zoo they visited? Favourite. Until Bruce found out he was just trying to conceal the cat hidden in his room that Bruce explicitly forbade him from keeping.

Dick arrives at the family dinner with a busted shoulder and a bruise the size of Texas on his face? Gets demoted so far down that even azraeil scores higher than him. He’s in the “in trouble” zone for a constant month after that. Oh one of them survived an almost death? Favourite for at least the next week. At least. Multiple people survive an almost death? EVERYONES the favourite. The least favourite is the growing grey hairs on his head.

The end of day results are decided by who bothers to wish him goodnight and if all of them have fucked up in some way the past week then Jon (Kent) becomes the automatic favourite until someone cracks a joke that Bruce actually finds funny.

The favourite child changes daily, hourly even, and his kids are aware this system exists and keep trying to crack the code but he always Knows and just smirks smugly.

Someone sent me a message saying my Cass was cute but while I was collecting some sketches of Cass it disappeared 💔 I think I accidentally deleted it 😭

To that anon, thank you! 💝 Here’s some random Cass doodles 🥺

[firefly-flickers]

I don’t draw Tim often so this was a bit of an experiment, I hope Tim Drake nation enjoys!

(I wonder what song he’s listening to…)

I would love to see and I hope they do a ‘what if’ episode on A Million Little Things. Where we see Ashley or someone else stop Jon from committing suicide, and we see all the changes and effects it has on everyone’s lives. Like would Gary and Maggie have gotten together? Would we have really lost Rome? Would Charlie have been born? Would Danny have come out?  Would Eddie still be sober? Would Regina have gotten the restaurant? 

So many questions and it would be great to have an episode to explore the multitude of questions that an alternate universe can give us.

Be home soon. Maggie got the all-clear.

A Million Little Things ~ Gary & Delilah

Some of my fav Gary/Delilah moments. I just love their sibling-like relationship so much. They're so supportive and caring towards each other. 💜

[firefly-flickers]

Gary using Shawn’s ~Vision Gesture~ while insisting psychics aren’t real.

[firefly-flickers]

I was too distracted to pay attention to this scene…

RODAY FOR FUCK’S SAKE FIX YOUR EARS! 🤣

[firefly-flickers]

Ya’ll remember when Gary had a gun pointed at him and never talked about it?

Cause I do.

[firefly-flickers]

A relationship isn’t one big thing. It’s a million little things.

[firefly-flickers]

I'm going to repeat the same thing I've said since the beginning of A Million Little Things.

Can I have a friend like Gary? He's the best kind of friend and I love him so much.

[firefly-flickers]

Gary, your Shawn Spencer is showing again.

[A Million Little Things - 3.12]

i might have a little man crush…

The series finale of a million little things got me BAWLING man. Like we all knew THAT would happen in the final episode, it was pretty predictable but that doesn't change the fact it was a GOOD ending. WHEN COLIN STARTED CRYING OMFG MAN. TYSM FOR THIS SHOW ABC I'M GONNA MISS IT. GARY WAS THE GOAT, THE MVP THE ENTIRE TIME OF THE WHOLE SERIES.
