You don't have to believe every single thought That tumbles through your head Just 'cause it sounds like you talking Sometimes all you can do Is say goodnight and tuck your demons into bed 'Cause they're not worth fighting

Turn out the lights on your racing mind Turn out the lights on your racing mind

Keep a running list Of all your doubts and your dead ends And when you pull yourself out of bed You taste them on the tip of your tongue And in the morning when you're standing in the shower With the water pouring down You dwell on all you ever did wrong

Turn out the lights on your racing mind Turn out the lights on your racing mind

What good has ever come of it? What answers will you find? Turn out the lights on your mind Oh, turn out the lights on your mind Turn out the lights on your mind Oh, turn out the lights on your mind

You don't have to believe every single thought That tumbles through your head Just 'cause it sounds like you talking

CW: Needlessly Kinking Up Batman

Reading 'What is and is not a Butler' discourse and realizing that "Alfred Pennyworth, self-proclaimed butler who doesn't have any staff under him and just does everything including the cooking" works best if Alfred was originally Martha and Thomas' 24/7 Domestic Sub.

It would've just been real awkward to explain all of that to eight-year-old Bruce, who was too young to have questions like "Why is the butler the only one staying on staff?" or "Why did my parents' Will leave me in the care of their 'Butler' in the first place? And why is everyone official okay with it after Alfred talks with them somewhere private?", so he never did.

And he just keeps never explaining it because at this point if Bruce really wanted to know, he would've worked it out himself.

And Alfred really does derive a soul-deep satisfaction in just... Being Helpful. Keeping everything together. Doing the cooking and the cleaning and the mending and the driving and just soaking up the excess energy of all these people leading their fantastic lives without having to actually get involved in any of it himself.

So yes. Batman has a Butler. And no other staff. And the Butler cooks. And calls a grown ass man "Master Bruce" like Bruce was still eight years old. And if you want to question it, be prepared for a very in-depth explanation of 1970s D/s culture from Alfred complete with slides and copies of his original Service Contracts.

I mean, this isn't going to be my new personal canon, I'm just saying it fits all of the available evidence better than most other explanations (aside from: American comic book writers don't know what a butler actually does)

All of the Wayne kids’ favorite Leaguers: True and Real and Accurate

Dick: Wonder Woman! Bear with me. Please. I think Superman was his favorite BEFORE he met Clark. Once he learned how big of a dork he was, the magic was sort of lost, doubly so when Clark became his unofficial stepdad. Diana? She stayed cool. Not to mention that in his Robin days, she often humored whatever hare-brained impulses he’d get. Please picture Batman’s bewildered expression when he finds Dick dangling from the Watchtower light fixture he specifically designed to be impossible for him to reach. Diana just, -shrug- “He said please.” You threw him Diana. You threw that child. She’d probably still throw him if he asked nicely, hell, she’d probably do it even before he has to ask. It’s ‘Boy Wonder’, not ‘Boy Bat’.

Jason: Black Canary. ‘Wonder Woman is Jason’s fav’ believers PLEASE hear me out. I think that Diana is Jason’s favorite in a ‘celebrity crush’ way, but Dinah is Jason’s favorite in a ‘cool aunt’ way. He met her unofficially at the Watchtower, but actually started hanging out with her thanks to Roy. They both like motorcycles and kicking ass, plus Young Justice having Canary as a therapist melds well with my vision of her helping Jason heal. And I think she’s used to yelling at Bruce on Oliver’s behalf, so it’s no big to do it on Jason’s too.

Tim: The Flash! If Dinah is the cool aunt, Barry is the cool uncle. Guy that shows up at the function with all the best snacks. He might eat half of them himself but damn if he didn’t bring them. In all seriousness, Tim saw pretty great merit in knowing a forensics guy that he can basically talk to anytime he’s stumped with a case without having to go through the “sorry to wake you” song and dance. Barry occasionally gets unhinged texts that are in the vein of “hey can you go about ten minutes back in time and tell past me about _____”. They’re usually pretty low stakes but sometimes there’s just a “got stabbed, do-over?” jumpscare sprinkled in. Bruce will never ever get shit from Barry about kid troubles. That man is a saint in Flash’s eyes.

Cass: Captain Marvel. She didn’t like him at all during their first meeting. For a person that’s good at reading body language, I imagine that seeing genuinely childish behavior on a grown man would be giving some crazy mixed signals. Once she learns that his powers are magic in origin rather than being alien or meta, her mind opens up a little more to the possibility that his exterior appearance might not be indicative of his actual identity. Cass guesses his age by their next proper meeting and makes it her business to keep an eye on him, always asking Bruce about him after he returns from League missions. Your honor, that 7’5” brick wall Champion of Magic is actually just Cass’ little buddy. She’s gonna get him some ice cream or something.

Steph: Green Lantern. Hal and Barry are like uncles, except if Barry is the cool one, Hal is the cringe one. Lucky for Hal, being a boyfailure is a good way to amuse Steph. Those two are gonna spend hours arguing with Bruce just for the hell of it, backing each other up on completely incorrect claims (Steph does it because it’s funny, Hal does it because he believes her). He does get bonus points for bringing her cool space snacks whenever he comes back from trips off-world. One of her favorite foods is a sort of hi-chew/gum thing from some other planet in Sector 2418 that doesn’t dissolve or lose its flavor, even after chewing it for days on end.

Damian: Aquaman. He’s a king. Like, an actual king. And he can communicate with fish. Arthur heard about Damian’s temper from the rest of the Leaguers and straight up does not believe it because every time he’s spoken to Damian, it’s been “hello your majesty can you introduce me to an octopus I have a few questions for it”. This one’s short. But I feel it speaks for itself.

Duke: Superman. Clark was NOT told about Signal taking up the day shift in Gotham until he was flying in to compare notes (read: flirt), with Bruce and met Duke when they both went to intercept a carjacking. Clark tries to be responsible like “I feel obligated to let you know that Batman doesn’t take kindly to metas in his city”, only for Duke to point at the big ol bat on his chest. After that, Duke usually intercepts Big Blue’s flight path anytime he comes into Gotham and the two just kind of hang out and shoot the shit while he does his patrol. Duke is also a little bit stoked to be regularly hanging out with The Superman, but even after the awe wears off, he can’t help but still think of Clark as just a cool, friendly guy. He gets someone to share the airspace with, Clark gets a bat he can stay in the sun with, it’s a win/win all around. Congrats Clark, you got one.

i cant believe i didnt think of Voices In My Head from Be More Chill for Thomas sooner but Im thinking about it now so this is my formal submission

(Strongly encouraged to listen to the song before voting! Lyrics under the cut.)

You've gotta buy her a rose, compliment her on her clothes Say you appreciate that she’s smart! Nah, man, you tell her that she excites you sexually And that's the way you get to her heart! Trust me, I know How it's gonna go Listen, and oh

And there are voices in my ear I guess these never disappear I'll let 'em squeal and I will deal and make up my own mind Might still have voices in my head, but now they're just the normal kind Voices in my head, but now they're the normal kind!

Just summon strength from within! Don't get hung up on your skin! She prob'ly thinks that acne is hot I'll throw you a rope, home slice, if you need some dope advice Now, march on over and give her a shot!

Buddy, you'll see It'll go perfectly If you listen to me, me, me!

And there are voices all around And you can never mute the sound They scream and shout, I tune them out, and make up my own mind Might still have voices in my head, but now they're just the normal kind Voices in my head, but now they're the normal kind!

I still remember how it felt It's embarrassing to find out deep down, I just want things to be easy Yeah, but, who wants things to be hard? Look, I almost destroyed the school Maybe all of human civilization I know that the last thing I deserve is another shot, but- Just- Say what's on your mind, Jeremy Lunch? Just the two of us?

And any voices in our heads? There might be voices in our heads But I swear the voices there will be the regular kind Me and the voices in my head have made up our collective mind What do they say we should do? I think that all of us want to go out with you

And there are voices in my head So many voices in my head And they can yell and hurt like hell, but I know I'll be fine! Still have voices in my head And there are voices in my head Of the voices in my head, the loudest one is mine! (Jeremy...) Loudest one is mine! (You can't get rid of me that easily...) Loudest one is mine! (Jeremy) Na, na na na na na na na na na, na na Na, na na na na na na na na na, na na Na, na na na na na na na na na, na na Na Let's go! C-c-c-c'mon, c-c-c-c'mon, let's go! C-c-c-c'mon, c-c-c-c'mon, let's go! C-c-c-c'mon, c-c-c-c'mon, let's go! C-c-c-c'mon, c-c-c-c'mon, let's go! C-c-c-c'mon, c-c-c-c'mon, let's go! C-c-c-c'mon, c-c-c-c'mon, let's go

tension headache by those who dream is very c!thomas to me.

I've been feeling the wrong way I've been looking for good days Getting hot in my headspace I'm tired, but my eyes won't stay down I've been feeling the wrong way Tryna tune out what they say While they're painting my thoughts grey I'm tired, and I don't think I'll Win this time I'm feeling too misguided Have I been two timed Or am I undecided? Is the world against me? Why do I keep fighting? Can I love myself yet? I couldn't stop you Under the weight of it all Should've known, should've known I'm no good on my own And I don't want you You make me smile when I fall Tension headache I could be the wreck you want me to be Get me out of my grave Get me out of my grave Do you think they could save me From all that I've done to myself Cut ties, same knife I use to kill Blind eyes, so that I never feel These signs, that cover my day It's that kind of headache that won't go away Can't win this round, I'm feeling too misguided Have I been two timed Or am I undecided? Is the world against me? Why do I keep fighting? Can I love myself yet? (Is it even worth it?) I couldn't stop you Under the weight of it all Should've known, should've known I'm no good on my own And I don't want you You make me smile when I fall Tension headache I could be the wreck you want me to be

Karma by AJR, submission for Thomas. It applies to all of these poor losers, and there's also this one amazing animation with it.

(Strongly encouraged to listen to the song before voting! Lyrics under the cut.)

I've been so good, I've been helpful and friendly I've been so good, why am I feeling empty? I've been so good, I've been so good this year I've been so good, but it's still getting harder I've been so good, where the hell is the karma? I've been so good, I've been so good this year

Why, are you asking me why? My days and nights are filled with disappointment Fine, oh no, everything's fine I'm not sure why I booked today's appointment

I've been so good, I've been helpful and friendly I've been so good, why am I feeling empty? I've been so good, I've been so good this year I've been so good, but it's still getting harder I've been so good, where the hell is the karma? I've been so good, I've been so good this year

What, am I normal or not? Am I crazier than other patients? Right, I've done everything right So where's the karma doc, I've lost my patience

'Cause I've been so good, I've been working my ass off I've been so good, still, I'm lonely and stressed out I've been so good, I've been so good this year And I've been so good, but it's still getting harder I've been so good, where the hell is the karma? I've been so good, I've been so good this year

Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah I've been so good this year I've been so good this year

Time, I know we're out of time But what if sad thoughts come and I can't stop it Bye, I don't wanna say bye If only I could keep you in my pocket

To give me some diagnosis of why I'm so hollow Please give me instructions, I promise I'll follow I tripped on my ankle and fractured my elbow But doesn't that mean that the tour's gonna sell though? I try to explain the good faith that's been wasted But after an hour it sounds like complaining Wait don't go away, can I lie here forever? You say that I'm better, why don't I feel better? The universe works in mysterious ways But I'm starting to think it ain't working for me Doctor, should I be good? Should I be good this year?
