I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

*electric guitar riff*

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

Abort! They’re not talking about this Tuesday! This Tuesday is shit!

Stay in the bog! I repeat! Stay! In! The! Bog!

For trump supporters:

I hope you have loved ones that are poc. That are queer. That are trans. That are disabled. That are immigrants. That identify as women.

I hope you love them and they love you. And I hope you lose them.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to them. I want them to be okay and happy and thriving away from you. But I deeply hope you lose them. I truly don’t think you’ll learn otherwise.

Bruce dreads Halloween.

Not because of Scarecrow but because it’s the one night of the year he agreed to let the kids dress up on patrol and he can’t take it back. It was an agreement he made with Dick one year and it’s just continued, only now they do group costumes.

There is a group chat and everything and Bruce has no idea what they’re going to go out as until they’re out patrolling.

The first year they did the group costume, they all went out as Batman, only it was their own personal interpretation of Batman. Bruce had to admit they were very creative with their choices with their costumes for colour (Steph, Cass, Duke, and Dick) to weapons (Damian, Jason and Tim).

One year they all went as the Justice League. He may have bribed Barbara for footage of them all in the park pretending to be the hero they chose as well.

There was a year they all went as circus performers and he heard them all complaining about sequins and glitter in places for weeks.

Each year it’s something different and they all stay in character for the entire night.

*A conversation over coms*

Tim: So I have a question

Dick: *wind rustling in the background as he’s moving building to building* shoot

Tim: Well we all know the “you hit your siblings, you spar with Bruce” rule. What’s the deal if we punch Bruce.

All the noise on coms stops.

Dick: That is an excellent question.

Cass: I and now wondering that as well.

Steph: Me too.

Jason: One way to find out. Rock paper scissors to pick the Guinea pig.

Bruce: No.

“You wanna fight someone, you fight me” seemed like a silly rule at first. but after there was more than one batkid living in the Manor at the same time, suddenly the prospect of having to spar with Bruce on the mats because you couldn’t stop yourself from throwing a punch at Tim earlier is terrifying.

[mirthmave]

I raise you that all of them have given him one, but they’ve all been customised to look like their caped personas.

i saw this tweet on my timeline but imagine one of the batkids giving this as a present to bruce

A part of Jason Todd as a character that I will always find tragic is his inability to return to the life he had like other superheroes could. Like nearly every other superhero who has died and come back in DC was fully able to slip right back into the lives they had before. This isn't to say death didn't affect them, but when they came back their relationships were still there. The friends they made even and their superhero personas were still their to pick back up once they were ready.

Not Jason, though Jason comes back from the grave, and nobody even notices. His superhero mantle has already been taken by someone else and the role that he plays in his families life is already being filled by another child who everyone across the board agrees is better than him.

You're telling me that wouldn't drive you insane everyone else gets to slot back into their lives like they never even hit the grave, but not you. Everything that was once yours has been taken away and given to another character while you were rotting in the ground. The worst part being that when you are mentioned at all after your death you're the failure, you are what no one should ever aim to be.

I don't know if it was up to me, I would have also tried to get back at the people who claimed to love me in every way possible and then immediately never spoke a good word about me once I was in the grave.

I formally would like to ask DC what they have been reading to think that we want to fix him.

Give him a happy life - yes (because he deserves it).

Fix him - no.

the audacity of the official dc account to even post this 😭

Bruce’s love language is acts of service

Bruce is such a dad lol

“He just wants me to stay warm”

[mirthmave]

Just going to file this post under “Dick is a sensory seeker and needs to be flippy and huggy for regulation purposes”.

Next fic: bodyswap

Jason: *in Dick‘s body*

Jason: I feel awful. What is wrong with your body???

Tim: *absolutely obliterating a punching bag in Jason‘s body*

Dick: *looks affronted at Jason in his body*

Dick: My body is fine! What do you mean??? You aren‘t the one who needs to consume an unholy amount of caffeine to function!

Jason: I feel like someone is about to push me off a fucking cliff, Dickhead.

Dick: *grins suddenly*

Dick: Ohhhh. Lemme fix that for you, Little Wing.

Dick: *walks up to Jason and hugs him tightly*

Jason: *relaxes before tensing up*

Jason: WAIT. YOU NEED HUGS TO FUNCTION?!?!

(Next fic is in the works! o7 It isn’t the one I had originally planned cuz my brain went brrr. Have a good one, my lovely birdwatchers! <3)

The man in the corner was Jason.

He went to get some pain killers Alfred keeps in the corner stand and there was just enough shadow to obscure him.

Problem is one of the effects of the Lazarus pit is that his eyes now glow.

So Tim is just seeing a shadowy figure with glowing eyes in his lack of sleep addled state and Dick is seeing Jason’s new party trick for the first time.

Everyone at dinner, chilling:

Tim’s head falling so hard on the table the whole thing shakes: *dead silent*

Dick: *picking him up and holding him like Ivan The Terrible* Oh my god! Are you okay???

Bruce: how much sleep have you had, chum?

Tim: there is a man in the corner

Dick: ₒₕ ₘy gₒd

This has got me thinking what Jacob would have done to force Alfred’s hand.

We’ve seen Alfred stand firm against a number of people when it comes to Bruce and the kids. It makes me wonder what Jacob did or what he had on Alfred to get him to give in.

Or was Alfred more easily persuaded then and seeing the impact it had on Bruce made him into the Alfred we know today?

@bruciemilf have you ever considered that despite being under Alfred's wardship, Bruce likely went to boarding school (Gotham Academy) because of Jacob?

I always love seeing them through the fence. They’re nosey little buggers and have to see who is in the driveway.

The moment I say “Hi Babies” their tails are going so fast and they’re running inside to meet me at the door.

[mirthmave]

Thank you so much @bruciemilf, now I’m going to be picturing this as I plan out my Thomas and Martha Wayne Live Cape AU…

No thoughts, only AU where Thomas Wayne is the resident doctor from Park Row who occasionally curb stomps mobsters and cops

SAVE ME, GUN BATMAN, SAVE ME

((Piccolo then choked on his drink and had a coughing fit.))

Was thinking about how funny things turn out with Piccolo and the Son family and this silly idea came out.
