I HAVE A BAAAADGE YAYYYTY

[siriusly-dc]

Did you know the actor David who played Superman says he’s 6’4” when auditioning to get roles but he’s actually 6’5”😭😭 and he’s so chronically offline that in a recent interview vid with the actress who plays Lois Lane he didn’t know what it meant to “eat” and said her outfit looked like “an 8” and was like “that’s so mean it’s a 10” and had to be told what “you ate” meant 😭😭

I love him

[siriusly-dc]

I love that Jimmy Olsen is exactly the type of photographer Peter Parker pretends to be. Just bat-shit insane.

Whenever someone asks Peter how he took a picture he's like "Oh! I uh-, climmed a flagpole. Totally"

And very mortal, normal-human Jimmy is like "See, Clark, is not that weird"

I mean, look at this nutjob.

The world could be ending, lava on the streets and Jimmy would be out there photographing away. No powers, no sense of self preservation. Just khakis, a camera and a dream.

I like to imagine Peter meeting Jimmy and immediately being mortified about it.

Jimmy: –and so luckily I was able to take the picture before the building collapsed on me... Superman was super pissed at me but, photographer to photographer, it was totally worth it.

Peter: Right, no– See, this is actually my first time hearing how fucking insane that sounds. No wonder people at work look at me weird.

GET YOUR BODY OUT OF SURVIVAL MODE SO YOU CAN CREATE FROM YOUR HEART

[siriusly-dc]

You get it, pls anyone have any fic recs 🙏🙏😭😭

Something that always makes me giggle when I see it is when the Batkids are like mad at Bruce for not letting them do something he is

And they accidentally walk themselves into a situation where they have to physically face the overwhelming love Bruce has for them

Because their self work may be zero but Bruce loves them so much and he wants better for them and he may stumble in communicating it sometimes but he wants them to cherish themselves and hates when they deliberately do stuff that harms them

So when the kids try to argue with Bruce about this point in particular they just end up like flustered and embarrassed and uncomfortable because “oh he cares what do I do with this my daddy loves me of course he does he’s always loved me” and externally they go “well um fuck you bye” and leave

Because Bruce would most definitely give them the “because I care about what happens to you”

“No one should do that”

“You do”

“It’s different”

“Why”

“I’m the adult”

“I’m an adult too Bruce you can’t just keep-“

“No (insert child of choice) you may not see me as your father but I do! And I will not let you do (x activity). It’s my responsibility that’s why it’s different that’s why I can. I don’t want to! I’ve never wanted to, I do it because it’s necessary. I do it so that you don’t have to”

As much as I wish for Bruce to acc say that he’s too constipated 😔

[siriusly-dc]

Someone pls I need more fic recs like this fic boy wonder, boy terror it’s soooo good

It’s de aged Bruce with questionable Alfred parenting and increasingly horrified Batkids with them realising that Bruce has literally always been Bruce and how terrifying is that

[siriusly-dc]

The rescue is brutal.

By the time Dick and Tim dig Bruce out from the wreckage and lift the broken omega into the jet, Jason is completely silent. His face is locked in something too sharp to be grief, too tight to be rage, his jaw clenched, eyes glassy and breathing shallow.

He doesn't speak the entire way home.

Bruce is unconscious: leg broken, ribs caved in, pheromones muted, like they're fading with him.

The moment the medbay doors shut, Jason disappears.

-----

They find him three hours later in the hallway outside the infirmary, sitting on the cold tile floor. Still in his gear, blood dried on his gloves, helmet discarded. He's leaning against the wall, head back, eyes red; not from crying, from not crying.

Tim tries to talk to him. Jason doesn't respond.

-----

When Bruce finally stabilizes (still unconscious, still pale, but breathing) Jason slips into the room without a sound.

He stands over the bed like a ghost, staring down at the battered form that was once a savior to him, the omega who taught him how to ride a bike, how to patch a stab wound, how to survive.

Now Bruce is laid out in front of him like a corpse: IVs in his arms, bandages covering half his body, his nest (the one Alfred set up while he was out) is faintly scented, but wrong, too sterile, too cold.

Jason doesn't even realize he's shaking.

He sinks down to his knees beside the bed. Reaches out, barely touching Bruce's hand.

And then it happens.

-----

"You almost died"

His voice comes out wrecked, soft, childlike. Nothing like the Jason they know.

"You were supposed to be stronger than this. You're Batman. You're—you"

He squeezes Bruce's hand like it's the only thing keeping him alive.

"I was just starting to trust you again, I was just starting to think maybe I wasn't broken beyond fixing, and then you go and—"

His voice breaks.

"—and you almost die, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that!"

The scent in the room turns violent: gunpowder and scorched leather, blistering grief and heat sick fury.

Jason presses his forehead to the side of the bed, his shoulders trembling.

"I waited for you" he whispers "For years in that grave, in the shadows. I waited for you to come find me, to fix it, to hold me, and you never did"

He lets out a strangled, broken laugh.

"And now you almost die before I get that back? Before I get my dad back? Is that it?"

There's no answer. Bruce doesn't wake.

Jason curls closer, like a child crawling into bed during a thunderstorm. He's too big for it now (armor clunking against the mattress, boots squeaking against the frame) but he doesn't care, he curls up with his head near Bruce's chest, needing to feel that faint, fragile heartbeat.

"Say something" he whispers "Please"

Silence.

"I need you... Again"

-----

Jason falls asleep there, scent leaching into the sheets, turning the whole bed into a territorial alpha's claim.

When Bruce finally wakes up hours later (eyes blurry, ribs aching, body heavy) he finds his second son curled against him, one arm still wrapped over his hip like a frightened pup who doesn't know how to ask to be held.

Bruce lays a trembling hand on Jason's head.

"…I missed you too, Jay"

Jason doesn't respond.

But he doesn't move away either.

[siriusly-dc]

AHHHH im screaming this is so good, thanks for the fic red girlie 🙏

I got a new idea hehehehehe (I haven’t seen it much, but that might be my own 'not searching' before I got the idea.)

But!

I really like the idea of the kids turning completely obsessive with Bruce. Not in a weird way. In the sense that, since legit every other parental figure in their life is dead/incapacitated/murdered. They only have Bruce.

So as they finally find solace in Bruce (in this hc it’s WetCatBattinson, cause he’s pathetic and l love him so much). They go completely insane with the idea that he could be killed, or even so much as hurt.

The first time they each see him stumble into the cave, and collapse onto the floor calling for Alfred, they all lose their minds. This is their new family and they can’t even protect it. They have to protect him. Protect him. Protect. Protect. Protect him.

Dick starts it of course, his family died in front of him, and he goes on a revenge spree. When he finally calms down and accepts Bruce’s genuine care for him, they go after him together. But when the worse villains then come on the radar. And Bruce gets severely hurt, Dick completely shuts down, he’s even more feral than before, screaming and yelling that he’ll kill everything, and he’s even freaking out at Alfred because Bruce seems uncomfortable in the treatment he’s doing. (he was resetting his dislocated shoulder).

Jason as well, he’s a street kid, and never really had true comfort, ever. And suddenly his life is a fairy tail, he has a strained relationship with his brother, but his new guardian seems to love him. It’s less sudden as it was with Dick, but no less than. It’s a gradual obsession, with everything he does, everyone he interacts with, goes to galas with, what is he doing when he’s not with Jason.

It certainly can’t be more important than him, certainly Bruce loves him more than anything, they’ve been fighting with their lives on the line together for so long now. Bruce loves him, more than anything right? Right?

He has to.

Jason loves him more than anything.

So Bruce has to love him just as much.

When Dick sees this child standing still, but absolutely seething when Commissioner Gordon put his arm around Batman when he was happy a case was finally over. And a small smile, was ever so slightly visible, on the otherwise emotionless Batman.

Dick recognizes that look, a look of deep possessiveness, one he saw in himself, before breaking off on his own in Blüd, but was sitting just beneath the surface. Bubbling up whenever he sees Bruce get hurt.

He pulls Jason aside, maybe making sure he doesn't go too far like he did, and lash out at the people near Bruce. He has to play this carefully if he wants to keep being right by his side. And to make sure Bruce is still happy. It would make him sad if his children went too far for him, even if they think it would be better for that scumbag who was flirting with Bruce, to die. They can't do that, not in public at least. They can uncover the scandals and make sure they're no longer on the guest list, but they can't go too far.

Bruce can't be sad.

Not because of them.

When Tim enters Bruce's life, his deep obsession has already been festering for so long. This is his idol, and he needs help. He needs Tim's help.

He needs him.

Like how much Tim needs him.

When he takes up the mantle, and Bruce is in his fragile mindset, worrying about Tim all the time, since he can't fuck up another time.

This is completely different from what Tim is used to. His idol worries about him, about what he eats, how much he sleeps, if he gets hurt and how he feels at all times.

This only fuels Tim's obsession even more, he's not just a hero, he's Tim's and Tim's hero alone. And Tim won't let anyone break him when he's spent so much time trying to build him up again. Nothing will get in the way of Bruce being happy, not the villains and certainly not some second rate annoyance at a gala, who's company Tim can make disappear overnight if he looks at Bruce that way again.

When Jason then comes back and the Titan's tower incident occurs, it goes a little differently.

Tim lets it slip that Bruce is his now, he doesn't need anyone other than him. He won't let anyone or anything make Bruce break down like that again.

Jason, like Dick, sees it. Sees this child become what he too was, and he ends up talking to him about what he means. Jason realizing that everything Talia told him, maybe wasn't as true as he thought, maybe Bruce really did care.

Tim might recognize this as a chance to make Bruce even more happy, so he doesn't have to read pride and prejudice while crying to the grave anymore. Won't have that shimmer of sadness in his eye anymore when he looks at the display case in the cave anymore. That Alfred decided was a good idea. It had been an interesting week when Tim uncovered that little titbit, but had shelved it when it had made Bruce sad that they were fighting.

So Tim will entertain the idea of Jason also getting space in Bruce's life, if it resulted it him being more happy. Like it did when Dick was there.

And Jason will take the time to uncover what truly happened while he was gone, maybe his parental love for Bruce wasn't as shallow as he had thought, while he was presumed dead.

So while Jason still finds fault in Bruce's methods, now it also has the undertones that if these scumbags continue to walk. They'll continue to hurt Bruce. And if Tim sends a list of people who needs a good scare for making Bruce uncomfortable, then nobody has to know.

When Damian makes his appearance, it seems to rock everything once again.

Damian has had to listen to both his mother and grandfather talk about this almost perfect specimen. How he was going to be the truly perfect one.

How could he not be obsessed with this man, he's supposed to be him perfectly, and then be even more.

When he finally meets him, he might start out wondering what was even special about him, but slowly he also starts learning why not giving in to killing is almost harder.

He starts seeing who he truly is as a hero, why people look to him as a beacon of hope.

While his obsession started extremely high, falling a little flat, but then taking on a new light, that almost makes it hard for it to not become even stronger than before.

Tim is now the one to see it, how Damian eat the same, trains the same, talks, and walk the same way as Bruce. Almost trying to entirely engulf Bruce's existence into his own. But it's also tittering on too much, it's worrying Bruce. And Tim can't have Bruce become sad because the new child, and if his disappearance would make him even more sad, he'll just have to show him the right way to go about this.

Tim talks to Damian about how it might not be a need to become Bruce, but because Bruce has now become what Damian has always needed in his own life, a strong force that would be the good for the many, taking not the easy way out, but the right way. An existence that sees Damian for what he is, and not what he needs to become.

Cassandras obsession is almost overflowing after a few weeks after being welcomed into the family. Never feeling safe, but now having a place that she can return to and call home. And people who accept her and her past. Working with her to make it better.

She strives to be better in the way her new parent wants her to. But also sees how this life is breaking him down, how he bleeds and hurts for the city, for the city to then still treat him like a criminal.

She saw how it was breaking him down when he couldn't be there for his family, and when the newspapers were speaking badly of his choice as CEO. And the sadness in his eyes when he's too late to a disaster, putting the blame on no one but himself.

Tim and Damian both see how she lingers in the shadows, how she'll put herself at risk to make sure more people get out safely, and how she doesn't seem to care about her injuries until Bruce would pull her to his side to protect her, which only seemed to distress her even more that he's focusing his time to protect her when she could protect herself.

They both sit her down, trying their best to explain how their health is absolutely essential to keeping Bruce happy, if they get hurt he'll be sad, so they cannot get hurt unless absolutely no other option is available.

They explain how to keep Bruce happy, what to avoid with him, how to get him out of situations he doesn't like in public. And how best, to make sure no one harms him.

No one will harm Bruce Wayne

not if his kids have any say in it.

(even if that someone is himself)

~~~~~~

This is a very rambling idea, but I really like obsessive characters. And it fits in my head that the kids absolutely have the potential of turning entirely obsessed with their new parent, since at this point, they don't have anything else.

I did the characters I'm familiar with most, since I'm not entirely clear on Steph/Barbara/Duke. And Duke/Barbara still have parents. Steph also had the potential for obsession when she wants to become Robin, but I'm not sure enough to write it out.

This might also be my more calm version of this take, so tell me if you want a little more feral one too hahahahah

my idea for this was also inspired by this post, by @siriusly-dc

as well as the wonderful fic ‘Your Beauty Is That of Gentle Winter, My Dearest’ By @ocyus-stuff

[siriusly-dc]

And here we see the Batman in his natural habitat with his children

You and that damn mama

[siriusly-dc]

The boys are fighting

Tim: AT LEAST I DONT STAB PEOPLE FOR HAVING A DIFFERENT FAVOURITE CEREAL

Damian: YEAH WELL FATHER SHOULD HAVE ABORTED YOU AND YOUR WRONG OPINIONS

*silence*

Dick:… Dami… did you forget that Tim’s adopted

Jason: this is the best day of my life

Duke: right of passage I fear

Bruce: *is on concussion number five of the week and it’s only Wednesday trying to remember if he gave birth to Tim or not* what?

Just the Batkids forgetting that most of them are adopted when fighting

Bruce birthed those kids r u kidding me they all look like freaky ass clones of him

[siriusly-dc]

“Dick Grayson is Bruce’s greatest accomplishment” “Nightwing is everything Batman can’t be” “Dick is the best of us”

And. AND. There’s so much of Bruce in Dick, so much of what he could have been without the trauma and self-imposed isolation, that when the JL talks about Nightwing being so good in contrast to Batman, they don’t always realize how much of that goodness is Bruce’s.

Dick stands on his own as a team leader and a kind man, but to say he built himself from the ground up would be a lie. Bruce filled in the cracks around an angry, traumatized child. He gave Dick what he didn’t have. His goodness lives on in Dick because it can’t always live on in him.

[siriusly-dc]

Reasons why I think it’s extra fun if the Batkids are majority alphas in an A/B/O AU

I think the whole “grow up to protect Bruce” mentality is just so interesting esp when applied to Dick.

Like as in: when I grow up imma be an alpha and protect Bruce so he doesn’t have to do “x” and then all those creeps who come up to him as Brucie I’ll finally be able to sock them in the face

It really pays homage to the hole “pay him back for all he’s done for me” thing the robins tend to have

And allows for a really nice dynamic to play out

It’s really nice when paired with Omega!Jason who perhaps as a kid wanted to be an alpha to specifically protect Bruce and this also allows Bruce to really see a reflection of himself in Jason after he gets revived and means a lot more angst in his behalf

It very much plays out similarly to the dynamic single mothers have with their children especially those who come from traumatic backgrounds. The whole she did so much and sacrificed so much for me even if she made mistakes I loved her, thing.

I very much think that’s the dynamic they have normally and an A/B/O Au with Omega!Bruce would allow for it to be portrayed very explicitly and easily.

Especially when paired with Bruce’s absolute lack of self preservation self worth and confidence. He sacrifices a lot and would likely inflict a lot of damage on himself in the name of his mission to protect others.

Which leads to a rather haunting respect, a rather similar thing felt my children to parents/mothers in an abusive home or single parent home

…lowkey a thought inspired by A coral room in the first of @frownyalfred’s series icl i love that heat scene w baby Jayson being all serious w Bruce just going 😩🥹 baby

Does anyone have any de-aged Batman fic recs for me because I fear I may have exauhsted the tag

Look for bruce being lowkey forced into showing vulnerability unknowingly to his children who know the adult him through the actions of child him

Eg child him climbing roofs

Hiding in walls

Doing any sort of weird shit really

Make young him a lowkey 18th century girl waiting for marriage with all the talents he learns for the sake of “rounding himself out”

Make him proficient or tying to be in 10 languages

Types of dance

Oil painting

Niche skills that make Batman Batman

Like yes this mofo just knows everything that’s THE POINT

He likes to be prepared

And the Batkids just go: oh this freak he’s a freak whose always been a freak
