back from the void to wish all aces a happy ace week 💜 i don’t use the label anymore but i love yalls so much and i hope you get to eat good food and make good memories this week

Happy Ace Week! I hope my fellow aces have a wonderful week, and I hope you feel seen, heard and supported every week of the year! And if you feel confused or unsure if any of the ace labels fits you, that’s okay too. Use them as long as they resonate with you, no label has to be permanent. 💜🤍🖤

the struggles of being aro but having your top love language be physical touch which ends up bleeding into romantic interactions reallll quick

but also being allosexual and questioning if i really feel sexual attraction specifically or if it's just that i'm touch-starved

[soap-bubbles-box]

happy pride everyone <33

to all of those who are out, to all of those who can't come out, to all of those somewhere in-between - i hope you can celebrate pride in whatever way you can, and if you cannot then i hope you at least know that you are loved :))

Bruce wakes up on his birthday and sees a giant framed poster hanging on his wall:

Bruce: Okay.

--

Bruce, shuffling over to the table where his kids are waiting for his birthday breakfast: I saw your gift.

Cass: Do you like it? I put “awesome.”

Damian: I put “Batman.”

Tim: I put “neurotic.”

Bruce, grabbing a some sausage links and a muffin and shoving them into his robe pocket: I’m…*yawn* mostly wondering who called me a unicycle.

Batkids: *eyeballing each other*

Bruce, slumping back out of the room, yawning again: Thanks for the birthday meal, g’night.

Batkids:

Dick: So who—

Duke, jumping to his feet: LOOK I panicked okay I was the last one to pick and couldn't think of a word for U! Jason stop laughing—

So, my siblings and I have this fun little thing we do when, if we're fake-mad at another sibling, we start with their first name and then go through all the middle names in our family in order of age. So, for example, if I screw up, I'm "[Ivy] Olivia Clare Ross [Surname]". I can only imagine that if this were adopted into the Batfam, last names would also be included on the list because most of them aren't Waynes in name.

What I'm getting at here is that at some point Dick was tired enough and exasperated enough to snap and say "Timothy John Peter Jackson Grayson Wu-San Cain Todd Drake Thomas Al-Ghul Wayne!"

Bonus points in Cass got it on camera

Oh this is perfect

Alfred: You know it’s been a year since you went to the dentist. Last time was right before the Riddler business.

Bruce:

Alfred: You need to make an appointment for a cleaning.

Bruce: can you do it

Alfred, exasperated after finding out Bruce had Chef Boyardee for dinner the past five nights: No. I’m not doing it for you. You’re thirty years old.

Bruce: *curls up into a ball*

—

Cathy: Hello, this is Gotham Smiles Dentistry, where we put a smile on every client’s face! Cathy speaking, how can I help you?

Bruce, staring at his phone, heart pounding:

Bruce: *end call*

—

Alfred: Have you made the appointment yet?

Bruce: too busy

Alfred: If you don’t make that appointment I’m not covering that investor meeting for you.

Bruce: don’t like talking on the phone, Alfred

Alfred, frustrated: Just make the bloody appointment, Bruce!

Bruce: *shrivels up*

Alfred, who did not mean to snap at his skrungly bat son: …I’m sorry. But you need to do it.

—

Bruce: *Googles dentist, sees they have online appointment requests. Quirks a teeny tiny microscopic grin*

> Choose Date and Time

>Input personal information

>Send Request

Bruce: Alfred I did it

—

The next day, Bruce looks at his phone and sees three missed calls and a voicemail.

It’s Cathy.

She’s calling to confirm the appointment and get his insurance information.

Bruce:

Bruce: I can probably wait another month-

I said before The Batman 2022 that I wanted Gotham to take more architecture notes from Philadelphia to really sell the old Gothic feel, and man SOMEONE was taking notes.

Also kudos to Matt Reeves for looking at the words "Gotham City is in New Jersey" and going "Oh I can use this to make the best car chase scene with ACCURATE TRAFFIC."

Battinson Bruce, grappling around Gotham after the flood, helping people, generally being a Very Nice Bat: *spots something splashing in the water near City Hall*

Bruce: Hn?

Bruce: *Swoops over to the splashing creature, accidentally overshoots his landing, belly flops into the water.*

Bruce: blllargle!! *splashes to the surface, glancing around* oh.

Dog: 👀

Bruce: Do you want to come with me?

Dog: *paddles over to Bruce and leans on him*

Bruce: How do I get out of here.

—

Alfred, seeing a drenched Bruce seated criss-cross on the ground wearing a pair of oversized sweatpants, eye makeup running down to his neck, and holding a block of cheddar cheese: I see everything is status quo down here.

Bruce: *blinks*

Alfred: Is something wrong? I brought you a PB&J.

Bruce: I found a friend today Alfred.

Alfred: …Alright. Who are they?

Bruce: *shines his flashlight under the Batmobile, where a soaked dog is huddled with only its face poking out*

Bruce: he likes cheese

Alfred, setting the sandwich down on the desk: I’m not taking care of the dog, Bruce.

—

Alfred, a few days later: So what’s his name?

Bruce: what

Alfred: The dog. Does he have a name?

Bruce: Alfred.

Alfred: …yes?

Bruce: the dog’s name is Alfred

Alfred, slightly offended: Okay. Why?

Bruce, pulling his hoodie up: icareabouthim

Alfred, gently: You can’t name the stray dog after me, Bruce.

—

Alfred, hauling a tray of steak, potatoes, and garlic bread down to the cave: I’m so pleased you asked me for a real meal. Turn your music down, please.

Bruce, eyes glued to his computer: *slowly reaches over to turn Evanescence down*

Alfred: Thank you. Here we go. Enjoy your—

Bruce: *delicately places the garlic bread into his mouth and slides the plate with the remaining food onto the ground*

Alfred:

Ace the renamed dog: *runs over and begins to chow down*

Alfred:

Bruce: thank you Alfred. can we have eggs and sausage in the morning

sorry im in my birds of prey x the batman era, but i think it would be so funny to see harley try and get bruce out of his shell by doing various activities with him like:

harley and bruce go down to the boardwalk/carnival and spend the day going on rickety rides and eating corndogs and doing those dorky photobooths. bruce is standing in the same position with the same blank expression the entire time

harley teaches bruce how to roller-skate and is holding his arms like you would with a kid. he looks like hes concentrating very hard on not falling over but is otherwise completely blank

harley takes him to a nightclub and he stands in the middle of the dancefloor while harley dances on/around him. he has his arms crossed and doesnt move the entire time

and at the end of the day bruce drops her off at her apartment and says “thanks, i had a really nice time” and harley says “me too! you’re a really good hang!” and both of them are being completely sincere.
