Barbara Gordon, the woman you are <3

[incorrectbatfam]

Jason: With how often Barbara talks about rules I would think she'd be more upset with this.

Dick: Oh please, Barbara only learns the rules so she can break them more efficiently.

Aaaand here's the sheet (The word is sheet? Idk- like... the info and a little characterization)

OKAY- before somebody throws punches, this was just a silly idea I got after seeing that beautiful art of Bernard and Tim hanging from a building and like- the moon is in the background and BERNARD LOOKS STUNNING

Anyway, I saw that and immediately thought "Damn, it kinda has kaito kid vibes with the doves and the suit... WAIT" and it was like my brain just melted. Especially remembering how the first introduction of Bernard shows him, I put his hair of that moment as a wink lol

And before somebody says "Uhm ☝🏻🤓 this couldn't work because Bernard will never do that and Tim is like, the best detective so he would find out immediately and" IT'S FANON, IT'S FUCKING FANON, GODDAMNIT LET THE FANDOM ACT LIKE A FANDOM. Go read a comic if you want something canon 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

If anyone knows of a crack fic where Jason and Damian are fighting over who has the highest kill count, and it turns into this large thing with like a betting pool. So Oracle takes over and spends like a week determining exactly how many deaths each person has caused.

I think it went Steph and Duke at the bottom with 0, Cass with 1, Dick with 11, then Jason and Damian, and finally Tim in like the 10,000s.

It was funny as far as I remember

Dick: *lifting weights*

Barbara: Whatcha doing?

Dick: Training to be able to pick up Jason.

Barbara: You do realize he's a grown man, yes?

Dick: First off: offended by the implication that I couldn't pick up a short, scrawny, teen boy.

Dick: Second: I know, he's gonna be so mad, that's why I'm doing this.

It's been proved time and time again that this fandom cannot accept that the batfam member have complex relationship outside of being adopted family. Literally ANYTIME I try to talk about Bruce and Tim's relationship or Bruce and Dick's relationship I get someone going "but they ARE adopted family in canon!" okay so now yall care about canon?

Fr though, 99% sure that Bruce and Dick's relationship only officially became adopted family because Devin Grayson (meaning in the 90s or 2000s?) thought wardship was outdated (I mean she was right! but I still don't like the decision. Also this is also based off like. a part of an interview I skimmed, so could be totally wrong lolol). Bruce and Dick have been a lot more than only father/son. Brothers. Best friends. I just kinda hate putting them in a singular box. And Tim was only adopted in what, the 2000s? Pretty sure at this point he's been adopted longer than he wasn't, but that doesn't erase the time Bruce called himself Tim's "Friend and mentor" and not Tim's father.

Don't even get me started on Duke. Duke just isn't Bruce's adopted son. Duke was (past tense WAS) Bruce's foster kid. For, to my knowledge, A PRETTY SHORT TIME! I feel like treating him like he's canonically Bruce's son is pretty disrespectful to his cousin and HIS MOM. Duke literally does have a non-biological father! Doug! I promise Bruce and Duke have a fun relationship and I promise it's not father/son. Also people who treat Steph likes she was adopted and/or (more rarely) treat Babs like she was.... that, to me, just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the characters. Write all the AUs and fanfic you want! But stop acting like it's canon these three are his kids.

So many of yall love bringing up and analyzing reconned things through the lens of if they were still canon (which is great! keep it up!) So please let people explore batfam relationships pre-adoption. So many of yall love AUs where Bruce adopted more kids (which is great! I'm not dissing your fanfiction!) So please let people have AUs where Bruce adopted less kids!

I'm just getting so sick and tired of people acting like I'm disrespecting adopted families by exploring complex relationships for characters who LITERALLY HAVE complex relationships.

I just think Barbara Gordon deserves a little lesbian romance. Get her out her heterosexual cage.

Oracle for a long ass time was the only superhero in a wheelchair and DC Comics said "but disabled people shouldn't exist in superhero land." My friend who's needed crutches or a wheelchair to get around SINCE BIRTH was PISSED when they "fixed" her.

Even while Cass hallucinates the people she loves being awful to her and each other, she still pictures Babs refering to her as "our girl" to Bruce. Like they really are the two people she sees as parents even at her lowest :(
