*shaking like a leaf* did you know that Grian and Cleo have never been boogie? Did you know Grian and Cleo have been in EVERY Life Series and have never been Boogie? Did you know they were one of Three that survived the boogie-pocaylpse? Did you know they're the Only Ones Left?????

Cleo, whose main flaw is self-righteousness, a flaw directly fed by BigB's Boogie betrayal back in Season Two. Cleo, whose been told by Multiple People that she doesn't Get It because she's never been boogie before. Cleo, one of the players whose killed The Least.

Grian who Created The Boogie Man. Grian who sighs every time he isn't chosen and mopes about before going out and killing anyway. Grian the menace, Grian the green killer, Grian who has the Most Kills of All Of tHem????

Did you know I'm Unwell????

disgruntled part-time hero: oh yeah, illustrious nightwing. so smart, so brave. who are we to compete.

dick: yeah, thanks, i know! don't underestimate yourself, if i can, you can try too)

confused part-time hero: are you stupid or are you pretending?

dick, fully aware of what's happening and enjoying every second: oh i'm not, why do you ask?

part time hero: i insulted you!

dick: i think you praised my intelligence and courage, i don't see a problem with that.

dick: and why do you want to insult me? are you so offended by my intelligence and courage?

part time hero:....

dick: everything is fine, i believe in you. just try harder

If you’re ever wondering how a male actor (typically action stars) looks so different between scenes of the same movie/show, or there’s something different about them you can’t quite put your finger on, may I suggest my near-foolproof screener: 2 W’s - Wigs or Water Weight

Wigs: If you think it might be a wig, it’s a wig. If you’re not certain it’s a wig but it feels off, it’s a wig. Most of the time if you don’t notice, it’s still a wig. Yes, male stars use wigs. Really good ones, sometimes really bad ones. Chris Evans is a good example of one that fooled a lot of people (Captain America in the later Marvel movies). James McAvoy and Cillian Murphy both famously wore extensions. Batfleck wore a hair topper to get that widow’s peak, but it’s really only noticeable in the JL reshoots (agh).

Water Weight: Nine times out of ten, your action star was bulking up or using steroids for certain shirtless/action scenes. Once those scenes are done filming, they quickly drop a good 10-15 or even 20 lbs of what’s mostly water weight by the end. Yes, your body can fluctuate that much in just a few days! It changes how your face looks, how defined your muscles are, even the size of your fingers. If your actor is wearing layers of clothes or a suit for certain parts of the movie, they don’t need to maintain that bulk full time. And often, those kinds of decisions are made ahead of time so they don’t need to strain and keep that physique up full time.

sheepish is a really funny word. fuck im so nervous (turns into this)

just bc I'm curious, authors of tumblr:

to elaborate: when writing dialogue, do you prioritize perfect grammar (and maybe even spelling), even though real people rarely ever speak with perfect grammar? Or do you prioritize a character's individual voice and speaking patterns at the cost of grammar *because* real people rarely ever speak with perfect grammar?

me personally I prefer balance, probably either opt 3 or 4. imho losing too much voice loses the character, but losing too much grammar loses reader understanding and comprehension. I think they're both equally necessary and one should not be sacrificed for the other :3

Im all for "Dick looks so young he has to get ID'd at bars still".

BUT.

I am a FIRM believer that Dick looks non-ID young where he looks young but old enough to drink.

I also believe that Tim has SEVERE baby face- like asain as hell genetics to where he'd be 89 and look 25 still.

So. That being said.

I am a FIRM believer that Dick(who stopped drinking HARD STOP after his rebellious phase) takes Tim to places(who drinks alcohol more than he drinks tea(CANON BTW js the tea but tho not the alcohol)) and orders drinks for the both of them.

Dick will order both a milkshake and some alcoholic beverage. When the order comes. Dick will get the alcohol and Tim will get the milkshake.

They knew it was coming. So. They switch drinks.

It's like that one meme where the old man has the beer in front of him and the girl has the milkshake and they both switch.

I wrote this with that picture in mind.

I feel like it'd be the same if Tim were to go out with Bruce or Damian when he's older.

Im also a FIRM believer that Jason Todd drinks STRICTLY lemonade at places because the water sometimes tastes bad and he isn't a fan of soda or juice.

Jason, Tim, Dick, Duke, and Damian going out for drinks for some brotherly bonding or some shit and you just see this big ass built like a fridge man with an ice cold lemonade, and sexy ass mf with a milkshake, a guy who's probably old enough but looks like a freshman in high school with a cocktail or whiskey or shots in front of him, some guy in BRIGHT yellow with root beer, bug red, mountain dew(baja blast or og), or some type of soda(that isn't pepsi or coke), and a little kid with a juice box eating the biggest pizza on planet earth together.

Cass orders strawberry or rasberry lemonade(a beer if it's a bad day), Steph gets either juice, pepsi, or a cocktail, Babs gets beer or tea, Bruce always gets water. No matter what.

Since my brain is full of Pennywaynes again this morning…just thinking about notorious workaholic and playboy Thomas Wayne AND full-time charity circuit queen and philanthropist Martha Wayne both rushing home from their engagements every week and declining plans when they used to be the talk of the town every evening…

…to spend time with their butler. Because Alfred can’t/won’t be seen out with them, but he is always at home in the Manor waiting for them. And they want to be with him more than they want good theater tickets or an exclusive reservation at some new restaurant downtown. 

I don’t know, there’s something about the Waynes eschewing fame and glamour for Alfred. Fuck what society thinks, they’re going home and grabbing their butler and doing something silly like skinny dipping in the Manor duck pond and then cuddling in front of the grand ballroom fireplace with a crazy expensive vintage trying not to spill it everywhere because they’re giggling so much. Like man they were a team.

Sound on to hear the water running through pebbles

Batman is good with babies.

He knows how to hold them, fight with them strapped to his chest, put them to sleep, feed them, change them, everything.

Even as Bruce Wayne.

It's the one thing the public knows for a fact because that man kisses babies on the head at galas like he's some sort of priest dedicating a baby.

HOWEVER.

The second his kids have babies of their own, all that knowledge flies out the window.

He'd be scared to death about if he's holding the babies right, feeding the babies right, refuses to go anywhere but the couch holding the babies because he doesn't want to drop them on accident.

He's an overly protective and overly worried worrywart grandpa for sure.

That being said.

I also like to think that the batkids have kids around the same time just to see Bruce cry and to take pictures of him crying with like 10 kids laying on him from ages 0-5.

[leo-forgot-to-create]

Bruce, spotting his kids huddled around the same computer: "Aw-- ahem. What are you all doing?"

Dick, barely looking up: "There's a GCPD cop who just got arrested for murder--"

Bruce: "I heard about that. Serial killer--"

Jason, making loud buzzer noise: "He's innocent."

Bruce:

Bruce: "You three are trying to clear a GCPD officer's name?"

Cass, making a buzzer sound: "Too stupid."

Bruce: "What, I'm just trying to--"

Jason: "She's right."

Dick, elbowing Jason: "Bruce, you don't know this guy, he's literally too idiotic to be able to pull this off."

Jason: "Kids pickpocketed his gun so much he got demoted to desk duty."

Cass: "He tasered himself when I scared him. Peed pants."

Bruce:

Dick: "He was pretty notorious at BPD too. Apparently he once slipped in a victim's blood and fell backward into a gutter, taking out his lieutenant in the process."

Bruce, laughing: "Which lieutenant ended up in the gutter?!"

Dick: "Mathison. He had a heart attack from the shock."

Cass: *drawing a finger across her throat*

Bruce: "Yeah, so this guy isn't a serial killer."

Jason, malevolently: "Or it's the perfect cover. He had the balls to take out a lieutenant."

Cass: "No. Sloppy and too stupid."

Dick and Jason, nodding: "Too stupid."

[leo-forgot-to-create]

Something I wonder is if it grates on Dick, that the brother who really was around for when he was the most angry the most obvious with his struggles dared to call him the golden boy.

While the two children, he actively worked to hide how much he needs, only take a glance to know everything that's going on in his mind.

That Tim watching him take a life still looked at him with stars in his eyes. But he didn't see a god he just saw his brother.

Damian and Tim who would set aside all differences to sit side-by-side next to Dick on a rooftop.

Dick who only dared to show up at Jason safe house, one singular time, tears pouring down his face and wondered if tonight might just be the night that he let go, but before maybe he could share the burden the door slammed in his face. 

Dick who no matter how old he gets knows there's a spot in Tim's house, not just to fill empty space but a place made just for him.

Damain who doesn't leave a text unread, and even when he's juggling school or something else makes the time to bother Dick on patrol.

Dick who found the spirit of his family in the very people he almost refused to look in.

Dick who lost brother, a brother who died in a legacy that meant more to him than he thought anything ever could.

A brother who never seemed to realize the weight of his suit even when his corpse rotted in it.

Two brothers that even when they spilled the blood of each other held his legacy above all else.

Two brothers that can look at the very rot of his soul and still believed he could shine, that no matter what his wings were never clipped.

He will always leave the window open for Jason, but his own wings will always fly him back to the boys who are his home.

Dick Grayson might have three brothers.

But only two speak his name not with resentment or bitter longing. 

Their voices firm, kindness wrapped around the joy of when the breeze is enough to cool.

Maybe he was never meant to stay Robin, maybe he did lose the colors.

Or maybe they were just too bright to fly all alone.

I know these people are incapable of feeling guilt or empathy most of the time, but I'm going to tell every one of them my mother died and it sucked. I don't care.

Maybe I'm trying to make sure a horrible, pointless, unnecessary death can have some meaning beyond my grief. That my mom's suffering can have some... reason.

[leo-forgot-to-create]

. . . I'm not offering an explanation.

—

Dick:

Jason:

Bruce:

Jaybin that Bruce stole from the past: Woah, I got jacked!

Jason: Bruce. What. The. Hell?

Jaybin, flexing his little muscles:

Bruce: . . . I can't explain it, honestly. You were so small, Jason.

Dick: Bruce, you have to put it back.

Bruce: Small :(

Jaybin: Why is Mr. Wayne sad? Did I make you sad? :(

Jason: Oh god, I used to be happy and care, what happened?

Dick: You died?

Bruce: You grew up and stopped loving your Father.

Jaybin: What? Why? :( Older me, why don't you love our Dad? Wait, I died?!

Jason: Just wait for it.

Jaybin: Wait for what?!

Bruce: Anyways, I can't put him back. There was an error in the fabric of time and he cloned. So.

Dick: So...

Jason: YOU KIDNAPPED ME TWICE!?

Jaybin: I don't mind :)

Jason: YOU SHOULD!

Dick: How are we explaining this to anyone?

Tim, walking in, sleep deprived:

Tim, looking to Dick, perking up: Hi Dick! :D

Tim, looking at Bruce: Bruce.

Tim, glaring at Jason who stole his last fruit rollup: Mr. Todd.

Tim: . . .

Jaybin:

Tim: Oh my god, Jason Robin hallucination! It's been so long! Hii! :D

Jason: My god.

Dick: Bruce?

Bruce: Damian is quitting Robin anyways. I need a new one.

Jason: BRUCE THOMAS F#&@ING WAYNE!?!?

Bruce: I'll make sure he stays safe this time and I'll protect you and won't fail you ever again and you'll grow up happy and healthy and go to college and get a nice apartment and a spouse and get a couple kids—

Dick: Bruce. You cannot undo your past mistakes by taking another child in that happens to be a clone of your son and redoing everything.

Tim: He's real?

Tim: THANK YOU!!! I'M FREE!!!

Bruce: See? Tim is happy!

Tim, crying, hugging Jaybin: I am so done with this mans b#-#&s#-#!

Jaybin: ??? Who's this guy and why is he crying??? Mr. Wayne?

Jason: I'm offended, hurt, and angry right now.

Bruce: I love you all the same. But I love you so much I need more of you. Specifically you as a kid. Small. And loving. That smiles... I didn't take the newborn version of you from another timeline, if it helps.

Jason: I hate you.

Damian, walking in: Oh gods, they've multiplied...

If you squint hard enough, you’ll see that they fit each others’ world and dimension☺️
