"Gotham isn’t exactly known for sunshine and rainbows, but it’s been four days, and the pouring rain is starting to feel a bit excessive. It makes no sense to be out and about when you can’t see more than three feet in front of you, and the rain feels as sharp as needles.

For Jason, it’s hell. "

OR: Jason is trapped in the manor because of a storm when it comes to his attention he hasn't seen Dick in a while.

conversations overheard through the batkid com lines pt 1

Jason: yeah me and B are on ok terms now,

Dick: oh you guys are getting along-?

Jason: well we’re doing ok, I’m not mad at him anymore.

Dick: thought you wanted him to kill the Joker?

Jason: i did, but then like last week i went to the manor and i saw him smash the coffee machine with a hammer because it didn’t fill his mug enough; and i just don’t think he’d be a good killer.

Dick: *light wheeze* because he broke the coffee machine?

Jason: well it was just- *cracked grin* he gets- he gets angry, you know? and he’s not good at self control? like that machine did nothing and he just destroyed it. and i was just thinking about how, like, he decided that adopting kids was an acceptable thing to do, and now he has like eleven of us,

Dick: *silent cackles*

Jason: like he can’t see a kid without thinking ‘wonder if i can draft this one’. i think if we managed to convince him killing was ok it wouldn’t go well. he’d just keep doing it.

Dick: *through laughter* because of no self control?

Jason: yeah, like once he crosses that line he’d probably step over it at any minor inconvenience. he gets addicted and he gets mad at a lot of things.

Dick: so B shouldn’t kill?

Jason: no.

Dick: but you can?

Jason: well i- *wheeze* i have practice honing the rage, i don’t kill for stupid reasons. *pause* apart from that one time.

Dick, audibly amused: what time?

Jason: i sneezed and accidentially pressed the trigger.

Dick: *loud cackles*

Jason: i felt bad, man, like his cat was there-

Dick: *falls off his chair*

Jason: how are you this apathetic.

Dick: is that where Damian’s new cat came from?

Jason: it’s not like i could just leave it there!

Dick: i thought i saw trauma in it’s eyes. it had that wartime stare.

Jason: the blood spattered right across its fur. i had to bathe it.

Dick: Damian thinks it has anxiety

Jason: anxiet- dude it has more than anxiety, it has fucking PTSD-

Dick: *wheezes harder*

I HATE EDITING MY FICS. THIS FREAKING SUCKS. AHHHHHHHHHH WHY CAN I NOT JUST BE SATISFIED AND POST? WHY MUST I SECOND GUESS EVERYTHING?

This was finished WEEKS ago, and I told myself I’d give it a quick skim to clean it up and maybe add some things. Then I decided I didn’t want to, so I gave myself a break to reset my brain.

That was TWO WEEKS AGO.

I don’t WANT to edit it but I can’t POST IT until it’s edited.

Aaaaaaaaauuuuuuugh

Bat-verbal

All the Batkids go bat-verbal when they are upset, injured or had a bad day. Only expressing themselves at grunt, glare and gesture. All their teams learn to understand them, but they all think that tha batfolk are hella strange.

The Teen Titans learned to understand Dick when he was still Robin, but when Batgirl came into the scene things began to get strange. After a fight the two of them comunicate for a whole week without a single word and that was almost scary.

Red Hood usually is very theatrical, but when he shut down things are going bad, he would kill in a second if that means he could return home, make himself some tea, a muffin and read. Roy and Kory already learned the bat-language with Dick and Bizzaro learned It surprisingly fast, but Artemis never learned and even now needs a translator.

Tim is surrounded by very chatty people and sometimes the yj didn't even notice that he shut down. The core member still so fluent in the bat-language that they don't register how Tim's Is grunting and glaring instead of actually talking. Some times they answer in that strange language too.

Steph almost never goes bat-verbal and when she does she freake out even the bat family. In every team she found herself she's more often the translator than the one Bat-talking. She tend to go Bat-verbal when she fail an exam and it's the only way the family would know (that dindn't happens too often

Cass is tecnically new with the whole talking things, so It happen often that she still go bat-verbal or directly non-verbal. People are quite used to that and the biggest challenge is see how she would comunicate today. She had learned the bat-language faster than any other language finding It more instinctive.

Damian had passed not even six month in the Manor to start going bat-verbal. He does It so often than Alfred the Cat learned to seat on his laps every time before he try to kill someone. The new member of the Teen Titans had to learn fast how ro decipher him, because when he goes bat-verbal the next stage is usually violence.

Duke was a shock for the We are Robin team. He started working with Batman and then e came back grunting and there Is no way to make him talk. No one of them understand the bat-language and no one has the minimal idea of what is happening. The next time he brought the little manual of bat-language, written by himself at three a.m.

Bruce walks into the cave’s medbay to see Jason curled up on one of the medical cots while Tim stands nearby biting his lip and they both just look so ashamed of themselves that Bruce just sighs.

“What did you do. How is Jason hurt.”

“…You aren’t allowed to be mad.” Jason responds slowly. Looking up to the ceiling and mentally asking for strength, Bruce nods.

“Alright. Fine.”

“…You also aren’t allowed to judge.”

A pause, Bruce lowers his head, wary as he scans his children. “Why would I judge an injury my son has suffered?”

“…I have a gunshot wound in my stomach.”

Bruce freezes, panic momentarily flooding him until he reminds himself of Jason’s status of alive and well in front of him, and then he clocks the cautious but skittish aura of the two in front of him, and, very well aware that his children can and will do horrific amounts of runaway-parkour while mortally wounded if it means they think they’re escaping what they consider to be Bruce’s ‘overdramatic reactions’ that Bruce calls ‘parenting’, he forces himself to relax.

“I see.” He says, evenly. “Has it been treated?”

“Tim stitched it up.”

“I see.” He repeats, as Tim chews the inside of his cheek and firmly keeps his gaze on the floor. “And, um, how… did you receive this gunshot wound?”

Silence. Jason and Tim exchange ashamed eye contact. Bruce waits patiently.

Eventually, Jason sighs. “We wanted to test the new bulletproof chest plates we got from the JL.”

Bruce closed his eyes momentarily. “Uh-huh,” He encourages calmly. Tim picks up where Jason leaves off.

“We forgot to put the chest plate on before I took the shot.”

Bruce took in a breath, opening his eyes and aiming them at the ceiling. “I won’t lie to you, I am judging a little bit. Did we learn anything?”

“Yeah,” Jason snipes petulantly, shifting to curl up further in the bed. “Next time make the Replacement the target.”

Batfam Family Dinner except it's:

Bruce - Refuses to admit he needs glasses so can't refer to any of his children without the chance of getting the wrong name

Dick - Often goes nonverbal (I don't know whose headcanon this is but I love it)

Cass - Still learning to speak or also often nonverbal

Jason - Is upset with Bruce and is giving him, and by extension everyone else,the silent treatment

Tim - So locked in on figuring out a case that he has been fully out of it for 2 days

Duke - Thinks he's missing out on something, or that this is some weird sort of training and doesn’t want to be the first to speak

Damian - Is beta reading Tim's Bruce Wayne/Batman fic under the table (he's only doing it because Bruce said he wasn't allowed to adopt all the ducks at the park)

*arguing about who is most robin-like*

Damian: robins reguarly fight to the death to defend their home. i am the most territorial, therefore i fit the bird mantle more accurately,

Tim, lazily: robins are also omnivores, so you’re out, you fucking vegan

Damian: i am vegetarian not vegan you utter-

Steph, googling: apparently robins are monogamous and mate for life. so. like.

Dick:

Steph: Dick’s out.

Dick: you’re mean.

Tim: this forum says that robins die really young and only really tend to live to like, five or six.

Dick:

Steph:

Damian:

Tim: …so…

Everyone: *slowly turns to look at Jason, who’s busy reading a book*

Jason: *looks back at them, incredulous*

Jason: oh come on- i’m not even a part of this debate, how am i STILL catching strays?!

Dick: we’re saying you’re the most robin like-!

Jason: FOR GETTING CAUGHT BY A PREDATOR.

Damian: oh god, i’ve already been Robin for two years. how long do you think i have left?

Jason: you guys are assholes

Tim: stop making everything about you Jason, Damian might DIE soon.

Jason: ?!?

I made a drawing for an AU I’ll probably never write! I think it’s cute though, so have it!

Basically, in this AU Jay and Joan Garrick run a mer and siren rescue and rehab facility, along with their 15 year old daughter Judy and 16 year old ward, Bart. This drawing is of Bart with three of the resident mer pups: Clove, Pesto, and Toad.

It’s a super lazy drawing, but it was fun to make and I’ve been REALLY struggling with drawing recently.

I can’t draw water to save my life 😭

Nightwing (2016-): Fear State

[superawesome40]

Dick: Hey, Tim, your birthday is coming up, do you want anything?

Tim: Actually-

Jason, munching on a sandwich: Nah, that motherfucker was born by C-section. It's not his birthday, it's his release date.

Steph and Babs: *shoots water out their noses*

Bruce: JASON!

[superawesome40]

Little insignificant headcanon that when Dick first started living with Bruce and he was in his sassy unhinged third grader era, Bruce would always give him a lollipop when they went out as Bruce and Dick. At a gala? Dick has a lollipop. To the park? Dick has a lollipop. A Gotham Knights game? Dick has a lollipop. Interview with Vickie Vale? Dick has a lollipop.

Everyone is convinced Dick Grayson just has a lollipop addiction. In reality? Bruce has to give him one so he’s too preoccupied to run his mouth. The few times Dick isn’t given a lollipop or Bruce runs out while they’re still out and about, Dick acts like a feral little brat who makes an interviewer cry, all with a smile on his face as he squeezes Bruce’s hand, giggling. The first gala Bruce brought Dick to, they had to leave early because Dick was a little too sassy with a few Wayne Enterprises partners and a couple women who were trying to flirt with Bruce and shoo Dick away. It was shortly after that when Bruce came up with the lollipop solution.

So most paparazzi pictures of Dick show him with a lollipop of some sort, but it even carries over to when he’s an adult. Did Bruce get him addicted to them? Maybe. Not on purpose. But now, everyone think Dick just has always loved lollipops, and even though he’s currently got one in his mouth and he’s fiddling with the stick, he smirks and explains, “Actually no, Bruce first started giving them to me when I was little to get me to shut up. It’s so sad, really. Children should be seen and not heard, isn’t that what you said, B?”

Bruce is glaring at him. Shit like that is exactly why he needed to keep Dick’s mouth shut in the first place.

[superawesome40]

Bruce: *is dead again*

Dick: well this s-

Tim: *carrying a go bag* I can't believe this! I'm gonna put a tracker on him when I- oh hi Dick.

Dick: ...you don't think he's dead?

Tim: WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANYONE DIED! ok Alfred but at this point I think he's using this as a vacation from us but PAST THAT! Who ACTUALLY dies? Superman 'dies' every few years, Bruce keeps 'dying' hell YOU 'die' sometimes. Obviously Jason, Damian, Cas, Steph have all 'died', my friends have'died',BUT THEY COME BACK! everyone. comes. back. I'll be back when I find Bruce for the THIRD TIME! *slams door*

Alfred: *walking into the room* he's not wrong. Tea?

[superawesome40]

Oh my god. So similar to my other post where all the Wayne kids find out that Dick was never actually adopted by Bruce.

So imagine they’re all back at the manor, they’re interrogating Bruce on why he never adopted Dick, and Bruce insists he can still adopt Dick now even though he’s an adult, but Dick is getting nervous the more insistent he gets.

And it turns out it’s because he was already adopted by someone else. But it’s another Justice League member.

“What?”

Bruce is speechless. He’s bamboozled. He’s livid.

“HAL, I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!” he shouts as he zetas into the watchtower.

“Hal! Abort, abort! Code: Daddy Warbucks!” Dick screeches as he runs in behind Bruce.

Hal is scrambling to leave before Batman can actually beat him to a pulp.

“Dammit, kid, you were supposed to give me way more notice than this!” Hal screeches right back, and he’s already being chased by Bruce. He isn’t even in his Batman get-up, he’s still in his clothes from dinner. He has slippers on.

“You adopted my kid?? When did you adopt my kid?” Bruce is shouting at him.

“You’re the one who kicked him out!” Hal shouts back. “He wasn’t even 16 yet! He needed someone to sign the release forms for the Olympics!”

“HE WAS IN THE OLYMPICS?”

“HAL! THAT WASA SECRET!”

“YOU BATS HAVE TOO MANY SECRETS!”

Idk I just want chaos with Bruce finding out another league member adopted Dick. Hal is an easy target.
