DC x SPN prompt idea
Sam and Dean get a tip about a haunted mansion from Bobby and they go check it out. It’s Drake Manor in Gotham City, which wouldn’t be a problem since no one was supposed to be living there. Except there was.
Sam and Dean meet Tim as they break into his house. Tim at first thinks they’re burglars but notices they’re carrying strange occult stuff. Tim looks at their stuff for a sec and just goes oh, are you here for the ghost?
And the boys, who had thought the kid was a) not alive or b) some sort of creature, are a bit thrown that this tiny child was left alone for months dealing with this ghost haunting his house.
Tim explains that he thinks she’s the ghost of his previous nanny before his parents fired her, but says she doesn’t do anything harmful, just tries to keep him company or get him to eat more often. She only breaks stuff when his parents are around but she stopped after it got him in trouble.
While Tim is sad for his ghost friend to be gone, he absolutely questions the heck out of Sam and Dean about all sorts of supernatural creatures and ghosts. Sam shows him ways to stay safe and avoid places with signs, etc. Dean teaches him how to fight and shoot weapons.
Tim is like seven or eight and pretty much blackmails Sam and Dean into teaching him how to be a hunter, and Tim ends up finding missions for them because he turns out to be a better hacker than Sam and Bobby. He gets the hunters money, sets up a network of information where hunters work together, and makes gadgets and gizmos for the guys to use against creatures.
Dean and Sam are worried about this small child alone in the house but think he’s better off there than as a hunter out in the real world. They don’t expect Tim to force his way into helping them, and every so often when they need help or info they call Tim then remind him to do homework or eat something.
Their road-trips now have frequent stops by Gotham, and even Bobby’s been able to make the trip to meet the lil guy who hacks his computer every week.
Tim also still knows Bruce is batman, and eventually becomes Robin, right. So he’s off doing that and keeping the whole supernatural world secret from Batman. Sam and Dean however, know the kid too well and eventually find out Tim is Robin. They may or may not take that well.
But! Since Tim is already aware of the ways of browsing the news and internet for crazy interesting cases and crimes, he comes across some posts about a potential zombie. Lo and behold- it’s Jason! So Tim calls Bruce and gets them sorted out. Maybe Talia still finds a way to kidnap him though, or Tim fights her on his own to keep Jason and loses, etc.
Either way, Tim ends up on the outs with the family still because he thinks he’s just filling in for Jason. So when his parents die and Tim is in need of a fake uncle? Who else would he call but Bobby!!
Just imagining Bruce and Bobby in the same room oh man. No doubt Alfred and Bobby would get along or absolutely hate each-other and no in between. I think Bobby would win in a fight against Alfred though. Just sayin.
Que Tim taking a call from Dean while he’s patrolling, thinking he’s alone as he details how to graphically kill someone, only to hang up and turn to see Jason standing right there.
Just, many shenanigans for how Tim seems a bit more unhinged than they thought. Like yeah Robin doesn’t kill, can’t kill when you work for Bats, but Tim Drake the Hunter made no such promises. Tim’s like ‘my first kill-‘ and freaks out the bats until he saves it by saying he’s talking about a game.
Sam and Dean come for a visit and Dick is suspicious. Tim goes on hunter missions and comes back with unexplained wounds. One of the bats might see him kill something and the guy turns to dust. Tim’s like no one will ever believe you.
As Tim drifts away from the bats he goes on trips with sam and Dean or helps bobby upgrade his tech. He lets Dean keep a batarang.
Maybe when Bruce is stuck in the time stream the first person he calls is Dean and Sam and Bobby. They’re like oh hey meet Cas, who then is like “Batman should not be allowed to alter the timeline” and just brings him back. He starts maybe using Cas for emergencies, or Dean tells Cas to keep an eye on tim only for him to step in whenever Tim seems in danger, even when he isn’t. Que Tim trying to convince Cas to wear a disguise when rescuing him in the field, etc..
Or maybe Tim makes a deal with a demon! He brings back Bruce but is fantastic at loopholes and gets out of hell card. Maybe Crowley is angry and takes his spleen just cuz. Dean is not happy.
Supernatural occurrences in the field happen and Tim solves it easily. No explanation. Maybe Constantine comes to solve it only to take one look at Tim and go “fuckin’ hunters, geez”. Or alternatively Tim corrects Constantine, saying stuff like you mispronounced (insert Latin word) or something like that.
Just, overall Tim shenanigans because if one of the bats had knowledge of the supernatural it would totally be Tim.

bit late but what's your favorite NPC you've made for your dnd campaign? how do the players like them?
JODIE.
This is Jodie. She's a dwarven rival pirate captain in my DND campaign, and is very much not a good person.
The captain of my player's ship, Vistra (PC), dated Jodie about a decade ago, when she was 17 and Jodie was a decade older. It was NOT healthy. They broke up around the time that Vistra found a baby Triton at sea, and decided to raise her (becoming Nerea, another PC). Their relationship, in my mind at least, was very complicated. They grew up in the same community, although Jodie left to become a pirate when Vistra was very young, and Jodie was there for Vistra when Vistra decided to leave their community. Ever since they left the community, Vistra has shaved her beard, and since the breakup, Jodie has grown hers back out.
My players have only come across Jodie once. They (rightfully) despise her. I love her because I'm the only one who truly gets her and I find her character sooo compelling. The reason she's like,,, this,, is because she feels so deeply and painfully wronged by everything that hasn't gone her way in life. She resents Vistra and Nerea for her relationship with Vistra falling apart, and she's so angry at the people who raised her because she feels they didn't raise her right, and I think that deep down she knows that she has to hate everything that's gone wrong in her life because if she didn't she would have to accept that maybe, just maybe, not everything is someone else's fault.
Please keep sending me asks about my DND campaign (The Pirates and the Pious) :)

Ok ok sorry for the length of this and I know this technically doesn’t have anything to do with what you’ve been posting, but I always hated how the show (even in the early 2000s) was trying to go down this holier than thou route of "let’s have dean [tortured haunted man] correct jo [sheltered spoiled little girl] when she’s accusing him of being misogynistic because he’s obviously a rugged warrior who doesn’t care about gender, only strength".
Like they were working so hard to show us how petty and insignificant our uppity gender-equality champagne problems were "in the grand scheme of things", and then they go and make Bobby, who was supposed to be this wholesome uncle kind of character, blatantly say "let’s stop talking about our feelings before we grow lady parts" lol I’m pretty sure that was one of the most explicitly sexist moments of the entire show. like they’re not even implying anything it’s just straight up misogyny disguised as red blooded American male trash talk.
And it’s funny bc that’s literally the kind of strawman shows of the era usually used to spread that weak girlboss message of "Oh you think I’m emotional bc I’m a woman? Well actually I’m cold and much tougher than all of u boys!!", only in that case actually portrayed unironically. This fuckin show man.
Honestly, I have nothing to add here. Yeah. That's it, that's the show. Much like how it occasionally tries to go 'wait maybe hunting... bad???' without ever changing what the main characters do, it can only lightly touch on 'hey sexism is wrong women can be powerful cool hunters too' before going back to its comfortable place of shitting on anything remotely feminine. For a show that loves to talk about free will, it sure hates the idea of ever changing lmao.
