Byler + Closet Imagery

Just wanted to show just how much closet imagery and references there are in stranger things and how it's super obvious, that it's kind of insane that it goes over the GA's heads so much. It's mostly with Mike as well, funnily enough.

Closet imagery has been used in media over the years to show that a character might be gay but the audience/the other characters just don't know it yet.

For example, it was used here in Paper Girls (2022) for KJ who was not out as gay yet.

It was also used for Eyewitness (2016) with Lukas who also has internalised homophobia and we already know that Byler has had a parallel to Eyewitness before.

So, it's interesting that this closet imagery has been used for Mike and Byler ever since the show began in Season 1. Let's look at all the ways it has been used and how insane these are that some people deny them because UHHHH....

1. Mike hides El in his closet

Karen: "With all this that's been going on, with Will, I can't imagine what it's been like for you... i just-- want you to feel like you can talk to me. i never want you to feel like you have to hide anything from me. i'm here for you. okay?"

Mike: *is hiding El in the closet* *a noise comes from the closet after Karen says these things* *he lies about it* *Karen then hugs Mike later on when Will 'dies' HADGSJHDG*

2. Argues with El in a closet

I find it so funny how the framing here is El literally between Mike and some male dummy and then she grabs it from him LMAOO i love cinematography.

Mike: 'You are the most important thing to me in the worl-'

El: *interrupts him* 'What if [Hopper's] right?'

Mike: *feels attacked as she questions the legitimacy of their relationship while she holds a male dummy in the closet* "No, no no no. He's just some angry old man who hates joy."

Why are you questioning the sanity of someone instead of using actual arguments for your relationship?? Oh that's right, you're in the closet <3

3. Kisses El in front of a closet

Particularly, this is Will's closet as well.

El: "I love you too" *kisses Mike*

Mike: *makes disgusted/ confused face* *doesn't kiss back and has his eyes open* *has the light coming from the closet framed on his head as if he's realised something.*

El: *walks away smiling*

Mike: *looks to the side confused with an open closet next to him* *thinks What is wrong with me?/ What just happened here? (original script)*

Also the music is "The First I love You" which is the same music they use in a scene where Robin comes out of the closet.

4. Mike reads a letter from El in front of a lit up closet

Bro is reading a note with RAINBOWS ON IT and then the camera pans to him reading with a literal open closet which is lit up right next to him. How is this not blatant queer-coding??

Also Mike: *panics in front of a closet which has a ray of light shining on him* *has a one-way sign pointing into the closet which is revealed when he bends down*

I am going insane at this it's so funny

5. Argues with his bestie bro when a song called "In The Closet" plays

aka arguing with Will about how he sabotaged your day by ignoring you instead of your gf getting bullied x

Will: "Well we used to be best friends!"

Mike: *looks devastated as a song called "In The Closet (at Rink O' Mania)" plays when the camera goes back to him* "Well maybe you should've reached out more, I don't know. Why is this on me? Why am I the bad guy?"

El: *is hiding from Mike in a closet*

Why are you suddenly switching the blame Mike??? Oh girl you're a little too defensive

6. Mike and Will have a heart-to-heart in front of an open closet

Mike: "No, no you didn't deserve anything... Hawkins isn't the same without you... Maybe I was worrying too much about El... felt like I lost you or something... Friends, 🥺❤️ best friends."

All while Will is tearing up in front of a closet (also the picture here on the left literally has them framed on either side of an open closet WDYMMM)

Anyways,

dating robin arellano headcanons

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

pairing : robin arellano x fem!reader

summary : read the title!! again!!

requested : yes / no

willow's whispers : uhh this took me like a month. yikes.

warnings : robin?

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

(dramatic sigh)

and y'all thought i was dramatic

i am

but robin???

holy shit he's such a drama queen

you're talking to your friend and don't look at him after 0.153847 seconds??

he's on the floor sobbing

you're busy when he asks you to go out??

he's falling down clasping his shirt where his heart is saying you killed him

you're mad at him??

bro is fighting death to figure out what he did and how to fix it

poor thing

he probably lays his head down in your lap when you're busy

or talking to someone

and then when you start absentmindedly playing with his hair this mf falls asleep

he's done it before

he'll do it again

another thing he will do is get into fights for you!!

guard dog fr

like if someone talks bad about you behind your back??

tf did you say about my gf??

who are you 🤨

patch him up after fights.

please.

watch him melt

you could literally just hand him a band aid and he'd be all

'YOU SAVED MY LIFE YOU'RE LITERALLY A DOCTOR THANK YOU SO MUCH'

'robin you got a paper cut'

that's another thing he's probably dramatic about

him getting hurt

but he does it so it's obvious he's not in pain

cause he doesn't wanna make you actually worried yk?

so he'll die over a paper cut or a small bruise but a black eye?

an actual gash?

nah, he's fine

wdym he's bleeding out

all in a day's work

but if you don't like him fighting he'll try and stop

key word: try

now when he would normally get into fights he'd grab the kid by their shirt and say

'i would kick the shit out of you but my girlfriend wouldn't like that'

he scares them still but he's keeping his word

cause promises are sooo important to him you have no idea

loyalty is a big thing

it is for all the tbp boys but with robin it's just different

he keeps his word!!!

also this means he literally can't lie to you

'robin, did you eat my last cookie?'

'...'

'ROBIN'

anyway sorry this is so short again

know he's trying ok

lmk if you want a part 2

Can I request Zoro, Luffy and Sanji reacting to their partner having an allergic reaction, like it’s so bad they can’t breathe. Perhaps it’s a new dish sanji had made and their partner didn’t know they were allergic to something in the dish until now. :D

a/n - this is supposed to be serious but if you know me I can’t be serious with one piece characters most of the time 😭 sorry anon but there’s crack in zoro’s and luffy’s💀🫶

Warnings ⚠️ - g/n reader, reader has allergies, crack (zoro and Luffy’s part)

- lunch is Luffy’s favorite time of the day, nothing can stop him from eating lunch (it’s important to have 5 meals a day obviously 💀)

- there’s breakfast, breakfast 2, lunch, after-lunch meal, dinner, and then dessert (there’s like two deserts but he doesn’t think it counts as a meal)

- today, Sanji decided to use a sea king Luffy absolutely destroyed (it tried to steal his breakfast, rip sea king)

- it looked a bit sketchy, but Sanji can cook anything and make it taste good-

- but even as he was cooking it, the smell of it that filled the sunny made you a bit woozy, causing you to become quite fatigued

- luffy was too focused on how excited he was to eat it, so he didn’t notice your symptoms. He was literally drooling all over the poor sunny. it was gross asf

- bro couldn’t wait so he ate the ladle Sanji was smacking him with 💀💀💀💀💀

- “LUFFY SPIT OUT THE LADLE I NEED IT.” -Sanji

- “I GOT A SPLINTER IN MY THROAT AGSJBSISBDJFNC-“ -luffy (he’s choking on the wood)

- “LUFFY NOOO-” -chopper

- when the time finally came to eat, you were only starting to feel worse, that stench of the meat was making you even more nauseated than before

- you had started to cough more frequently, having a constant itch in your throat that just wouldn’t go away

- “Are you alright y/n?” -robin (shes so caring 😭🫶)

- “I’m ok robin- thank you.”

- you tried playing it off as nothing, but it was getting hard to breathe, your vision becoming blurry as you sat down next to Luffy at the table

- you tried to take a bite, barely being able to swallow it, struggling to get the food down

- “Y/n.. Do you not like it?” -Sanji

- you stared down at your hands, and you noticed that little red dots had started to form on your knuckles, spreading down your wrists

- you couldn’t breathe.

- “Y/n…? Helloooo?” -luffy

- he tried waving his hand in front of your face, but you ended up passing out onto the table face first

- “OH MY GOD Y/N DIED.” -luffy bro you suck 💀💀💀

- chopper immediately rushed over, having to literally shove Luffy away from you so he could inspect you

- cue Luffy running around in circles freaking out about how you died in front of him (like ace)

- “IM SUCH A BAD BOYFRIEND I LET Y/N DIE IN FRONT OF ME-“

- it turned out you were allergic to this specific type of sea king, and chopper managed to give you some medicine to help you feel better

- Sanji kept apologizing, making sure that he would never cook this again in the future

- “ARE YOU OK Y/N?! HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP?” -luffy (he’s holding four fingers up but this dumbass can’t count)

- “Four.” -you

- “CHOPPER Y/N’S DYING SHE THINKS IM HOLDING UP 4 FINGERS AGSOWBDOSNDJNFOXNC-“

- omfg Luffy pls 😭

- you love this guy but he’s dumb af

- Sanji absolutely adores cooking for you, he’d do it every minute if you wanted 🫶

- he practically knows every single dish you like by heart, and can recite all your favorite fruits and vegetables

- he always loves making new recipes for you to try, you’re his most trusted taste tester! (It’s not luffy- bro would eat the food and the plate too so he’s disqualified)

- today, he wanted to try a new take on some foreign food items he got from the market

- he hadn’t ever seen these before, but he had a knack for knowing which things would be delicious and rich in nutrients

- ever since the smell of the food traveled onto the sunny, you noticed that it was harder to take deep, full breaths.. but maybe it was just because the air was thin

- it didn’t go away. It only continued to worsen as Sanji kept cooking

- soon you started to cough, and have shortness of breath

- Sanji quickly stopped smoking, thinking that perhaps it was because of him. And he took you outside for a moment for you to get some fresh air

- your symptoms just wouldn’t go away! Irritatingly lingering around like some insect

- the time came to test out the new food, and your cough had worsened, your heartbeat racing from your lungs struggling to breathe

- it tasted good.. But the moment it traveled down your throat, you could feel it closing, as if your airways were completely blocked

- Sanji noticed it right away, and ran off in a panic to get chopper, supporting you from behind as chopper inspected your throat

- Sanji didn’t know what to do.. He wasn’t a doctor. But he knew he had to do whatever he could to make you feel better. He hated seeing you in pain!

- his hands carefully held you up as he allowed you to rest against his chest. Chopper confirmed that it was a severe allergic reaction to the food… And Sanji couldn’t believe that he was the one that caused this

- he immediately made Luffy scarf the food down to get it away from you, and made a mental note to get mad at the merchant that sold him the meat later (anything for y/n 🫶🫶)

- he did whatever he could to make you feel better.. Water? He’s already got it. Take you to bed? Of course! A nice blanket? You don’t even have to ask

- he felt so guilty! He never meant to make you have an allergic reaction like that.. He kept apologizing- over and over

- “Y/n- I’m so sorry.. I didn’t know you were allergic to that. I swear I’ll never cook it again, do you need anything? Water? I’ll get it for you! I’m sorry- you don’t have to forgive me- it’s completely my fault.”

- poor guy was ranting about how he doesn’t deserve you anymore 😭

- you had to reassure the man that it was alright, and that you turned out to be alright in the end!

- “No but seriously please don’t cook that again I think I almost died.” -you

- “IM SORRY Y/N IM SO SORRY-“ -Sanji

- bro is literally on his knees begging for forgiveness 💀

- zoro’s solution to anything health related would either be to sleep, drink, or take a shit

- stomach hurts? Take a shit

- feeling stressed? Take a shit

- need a break? Take a shit (copyrighted by zoro)

- he’s a tough guy, and he’s not very smart sometimes 💀

- but you love the marimo nonetheless 🫶

- he had just finished his 29th fight with Sanji today, and it was right on time for lunch

- you were amazed by how Sanji could argue and still try to kick zoro’s head off at the same time

- today, you felt oddly stiff and uncomfortable, were you getting sick?

- you didn’t start feeling under the weather until Sanji started cooking lunch… But you didn’t pay attention to that, you tried to press on and bare through it with a grin

- it got harder and harder, and your head started hurting next.

- “Your head hurts? Did you shit today?” -zoro

- “What the fuck does my shit have to do with my head zoro?”

- he’s dumb just leave him be

- of course he’s concerned for you, he just doesn’t know how to help you 👍

- he continued eating his lunch, and you managed to take a bite of yours after a couple minutes of mustering up the strength

- you couldn’t breathe

- you started panicking, grabbing zoro’s arm to tell him something’s wrong. This wasn’t just a cold- this was something BAD

- “Y/n? What the hell? You look horrible rn-“ -zoro (did he just insult you 😭)

- he finally realized that something was really wrong- and he started freaking out-

- he started slapping your back to try and get you to spit out the food- he thought you were maybe choking

- “Y/N? ARE YOU CHOKING? STOP CHOKING.” -zoro (wow zoro you’re so helpful 💀💀💀)

- you thought he’d be helpful? Yeah nah 😭

- bro was literally abusing your poor back, you swore he broke some kind of muscle back there

- chopper ran over, quickly inspecting you before deducing that it was an allergic reaction to the food

- “What the hell’s an allergy??” -zoro

- “It’s when people’s bodies don’t like a certain object or thing- it makes them cough or sneeze and maybe even does what it did to y/n.” -chopper

- Mosshead is so confused right now (he’s never been sick 💀)

- You started feeling better after chopper gave you some medicine to clear your system of the food.. And thank god- you felt so much better than before

- “Y/n you could’ve just shit out the food.” -zoro

- “I CANT SHIT ON COMMAND YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER-“

a/n - Luffy can’t count 💪

Monster Trio + Shanks, Ace, Doing the Quebradora with Latina s/o

Hiii so this one omfg I had so much fun writing this one and I love putting my culture into this because it’ll be nice to see representation for once. Even though y/n is your name there’s not that much we know about y/n. Like WHAT ARE THEY. What’s their way of life. Yk? anyways context so quebradora is a dance usually with two people in Mexico. It’s a popular dance at bailes (dance parties) rodeos, and quinceañeras. Lots of people usually sway, it’s usually common for a girl to be picked up and swung around heres videos for references. 😭😭

Luffy

- I am sorry but luffy at first will throw you like a rag doll in reference to this video

- “ am I doing this right?!” he’s just gonna be throwing you around.

- he has two left feet for dancing. I’m serious.

-teaching him was the worst.

- when he thinks he’s got it, he’s gonna make you dislocate your hip.

-THE FACT HE USES HIS DEVIL FRUIT FOR HIS HIPS TO ONLY MOVE 💀

- “ go!!! Y/n- Chan!!!” Chopper was just cheering on zoros head

- when it came to the bailes for the island y’all landed at. He knew you seemed off when coming to the bailes with him.

- sanji, robin and nami had to catch him up. “Luffy you didn’t pay attention with y/n! When she taught you FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS!?”

-“SO THATS WHY SHE WAS TEACHING ME THAT DANCE!?” Luffy forgot literally and felt so bad. He didn’t like seeing you sad like at all. It hurt his heart.

- “It’s in the hips luffy. You gotta do this not whatever that was that” Sanji had just corrected him after he took a puff out of his cigarette.

- he watched you trying to teach luffy on the thousand sunny he couldn’t help but laugh the whole time, but hype you up more.

“Ohhh… yeah I screwed up. Imma go make it up to her.” He ran to go find you, he found you talking to your Tia. She hugged you so tightly, after you guys catching up. you let her go and told her you’ll be back

- “y/n dance with me!!!” He grabbed your hand while laughing

-“ you serious?”

-“ yeah the songs about to start. Let’s go. I wanted to show you that I paid attention!” He flashed that gummy smile you always loved you just said fuck it let’s just have fun. Because you knew in the end luffy wouldn’t leave you.

- when y’all danced bro. He actually did it!- if that makes sense. He had to put his own twist to it.

- “luffy! LUFFY! PUT ME DOWN IM GONNA FALL!”

-“ what?! Pick you up! Don’t have to tell me twice!” This was a reminder for you teach him more dances after that. start off with cumbias or merengue. No but he didn’t. He did it the way you wanted it to happen.

- He carried you and span you around, of course y’all did a bit of hopping which was cute. In the end y’all had fun.

- the night ended with you and luffy dancing the night away as he peppered you with kisses

Zoro

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRCxH6x5/

-now if there’s anything zoro doesn’t do. It’s dancing.

- he hates it.

-not when it’s with you he’s used to dancing with you alone in y’all’s shared quarters or on the ship

-he hates dancing in public bc it’ll ruin his “pirate hunter Image.”

-“I’m not dancing.”

-“fine I’ll just ask sanji, he’ll always say yes to me anyway.”

-“I’m gonna dance with Y/n-San?!!!” he just melted as you grabbed him to the dance floor at the baile.

- you knew how to push zoros buttons

- just as the song was about to start he grabbed your hand

-“never do that again.” He whispered into your ear while kissing the top of your head.

- seeing you smile is the only thing that matters. well besides being a pirate hunter lmao.

- when you jumped into his arms as he held you in that side to side bridal style move.

- he wanted to flip you which he did.

-“bet that curly couldn’t do that.” You giggled and kissed his cheek

- he’s now your forever dance partner. because he’s a jealous now he can say he’ll only dance with you.

“ too slow curly brows kyahaha!”this was his petty moment that he even told you some spicy things in your ear

- “Keep grinding on my knee like that, you’ll be screaming my name tonight…”

--y’all danced like the very first video. He was just trying to keep himself composed.

- you indeed couldn’t walk the next day.

-“this will be the last time you ever ask me to dance again.” he lied.

Sanji

when I decided to write about with him he’d just get all flustered it goes in two ways

- If he’s simpy he’s going to be just speaking utter nonsense or he’ll actually be shocked than process and than be his stupid self we all love

- “y-You want to dance! with me!” his eyes went into sparkles and almost passed out

- “come on I’ll teach you.”

-“you move your hips and relax, it’s gonna be like this. Is that okay?”

-he blushed furiously, “y-yeah that’s f-fine.” he looked away as wiped his bloody nose kissing his lips.

-“Y/n Chwan you’re so good at this!”

-“it’s just a dance I know.” You snorted

- when it came to the bailes, mans wanted to show you off. In which he does succeed

-the only time y’all did it successfully was the when the ship was swaying, or a tropical island.

-“you ready my darling?” he whispered and you nodded eagerly walking away from him.

- when you ran into his arms omg it felt like the whole world was just paused and only you two kept dancing.

- when he picked you up in that bridal style motion. You both touched foreheads and kissed only for a moment.

- “not bad for a cook!” you giggled as you pressed his chest against his.

-“only for you my princess.” He kissed the top of your head.

- “The way you move is sending me into heaven.” He gasps for sure, sighs in awe.

“I have been blessed by the gods!” you almost think he’s drunk when he’s saying this stuff

-“We should get married and have many babies together 😭😩💗” it’s cause of that hip thing that’s why.

- now you know why he loves that move. so whenever you dance with sanji you can tease him.

- “do you want to take a break now?”

- “ why is everyone looking at us?” Insert Confused pikachu face

-“ it’s because of your beauty and moves my sweet.” He flashed a grin against your lips. Kissing you once more.

-even if you have a fashion malfunction while dancing quebradradita.

- Sanji will I MEAN HE WILL COME THROUGH TO THE RESCUE like oh your dress ripped here. Wear my jacket.

-man can improvise and of course show you off

Shanks

- mans is a pro.

-surprisingly it was his idea and not yours 😭

- “imma throw you now!”

- “WHAT!?” your eyes widened

-“ HAHA im kidding, but imma gonna drop us down!”

-“ shanks your legs may not work the way they used to!”

-“oh really! Are you saying that I can’t do this!?”he squats down as y’all are dancing. Not gonna lie him proving himself wrong is hot as hell.

- he’s gonna show you off and than you’re gonna be light on your feet.

-“ PUT ME DOWN SHANKS SHANKS IM GONNA FALL!!!”

-“do you trust me?!”

-“No!”

-“good!” He just flips you as you scream in shock because it was out of nowhere. when you asked him to put you down nicely. you just had fun. Literally you heard his crew cheering you both

-“woah. You alright there sugar cakes?”

-you just groaned and rolled your eyes at him, as he picked you up bridal style.

-“guess that’s a no… sorry about that I got carried away.” He snorted, and kissed your temple

-“since you do so much for me I’ll take care of you tonight.”

- never have him do the quebradora. like that. Again. thank you but that’s a lie you can’t say no to him.

Ace

- imma be honest. Ace can’t dance to save his life as pirate on whitebeards crew 😭

- unlike sabo and luffy. HES GOT TWO RIGHT FEET 😭

- sabo can dance better it’s just observation according to sabo.

- “babe can I just spin you around if that counts?”

-“I don’t want to drop you.”

-“OW!”

-“ IM SORRY Y/N!” He felt guilty, and when he saw you laugh and fall on your ass he couldn’t help but laugh too

-“I love you so much.”

-“dude I’m gonna cream my pants if you keep riding my thigh like that!!”

-“why are you poking my boobs 😭”

- “And dip! Ooh now chips and queso sound good rn😩.”

- but at the end y’all had fun.

- the bailes you had fun at were cool too

- you and aced danced y’all’s little happy feet away

Batman The Animated Series: Christmas With the Joker Review (Commission for WeirdKev27)

Happy Holidays all you happy people! Christmas Season is here, and why wait to december when I can spread some holiday cheer now?

So to begin our holly jolly holiday coverage this year, i'm taking a look at a christmas classic i'm honestly baffled it's taken me this long to revisit. I grew up with this episode and fondly remember it being on the batman tape I had or rented back then. I just simply forget sometimes I have Batman the Animated Series right there and cant really take that for granted since the person in charge of Warner Bros thinks it's "brave" to burn down content for the insurance money.

For those who haven't experienced this holiday classic, Christmas With the Joker is the second episode of batman the animated series, though it aired later in broadcast order to line up with the timing. IT's also our first exposure to the magic that's Mark Hamill as joker, it certainly was mine thanks to aforementioned Tape.

Hamill got the role thanks to serendipity: The crew had initally cast Tim Curry, god on earth, to play the part. It SEEMS like perfect casting.. but it just didn't quite fit, as we can see from what footage of Curry as joker we have. Tim wasn't bad and I could see his joker working and him playing the part again sometime had he not sadly had to retire. The problem is his version didn't quite match what the team was going for with Mr. J. Curry's joker is one who jokes and what not, but comes off like a bastard who makes the bad jokes half heartedly as an excuse to do mayhem. The DCAU joker is the best of both worlds: he GENUINELY loves his bad puns, his craft: he lives in his own demented world where everything's a joke. When Curry's joker doe sa bit or a line, it feels like he's putting on an act, with Hamil's it's a PERFORMANCE. It's what he does. He's an entertainer, he's a comedian, he's a clown, he's going to give em a hell of a show and the death, horror and other mayhem that comes along with it is part of the act. It's key to it. It's the spice to him. Tim Curry didn't do BAD, he just didn't fit the bill. Hamill by contrast when auditioing for the now open part saw Joker's laugh as an INSTURMENT. You could tell what he was feelilng just by it's inflection. Hamill understood the character and tha'ts why he's the best at playing him: He gets just how to play Mr J, every nuance and fascet. Just as Conroy felt batman rise.. the joker's laugh escaped out of mark hamill and never went back until sadly, there just wasn't a batman to chase anymore.

The episode itself is something diffrent from the previous 3 batman the animated series episodes i've covered: I Am the Night and Two-Face were psycological adventures, the former going literally into bruce's head and showing the pain in his life, and the latter showing the gradual downfall of a man who simply needed help but wouldn't let himself get as much as needed, who put duty over himself.

Christmas With The Joker.. is a wacky christmas adventure. It has stakes and what not, but it's ultimately Batman and Robin not getting christmas eve off after the Joker decides to hyjack the airwaves with a demented holiday special. Yet.. it's still so damn good. Sometimes you need a fairly deep character study of batman or one of his foes.. and sometimes you just need the Joker deciding to do a holiday special with recurring characters as the hostages, and Batman and Robin on a deadline to stop him. Just let Mark Hamill ham it up, let Batman punch some people. BTAS has some truly stunning masterpieces.. but it also knew how to just have fun and lay back once in a while. This episode's just .. pure fun and i'll show you why under the cut.

We open at Arkham Asylum, the happiest crime against psychatric care on earth as it's Christmas Eve and Joker gets one of the best character entrances of all time. While I forgot a detail or too about this episode i've never forgotten this intro: the inmates are all singing carols, no one we'd know yet as most of Batman's Rogue's haven't been introduced. It's something I liked about Batman TAS and that seems to have stuck for the comics afterword: Anytime we visit arkham we usually see some of Batman's other rogues even if we're there for say the Joker finding out someone did a copyright infringment on him, so it's weird to see no one else present yet.

So the Joker enters the series singing that classic version of Jingle Bells. If you haven't heard it, there's only one proper way to introduce you to the best version of the song outside of this episode. TAKE IT AWAY ROBERT GOULET!

That's brilliant enough... but then he hops on the christmas tree, turns it into a rocket, and flies off laughing all the way. AHAHAHHEEHAHAHAHAHAA. It's a perfect joker move: it's overly complicated, required a ton of prep work, a ton of money we don't know how he got..

Okay we know exactly how he got it we just can't talk about it on a children's show, and it's hilaroious. in less than a minute we know the Joker's a madman, he's clever, and his crimes are over the top because it's just more FUN that way. It's what seperates the joker from most other Batman TAS villians: the others are, with exceptions like Penguin or Rupert Thorne, sympathetic on some level: Mr Freeze just wants his wife back after a corrupt rich asshole tried to kill her and made him a popsicle, Poison Ivy wants to save the planet no matter who she has to kill, Two Face's DiD consumed him, Baby Doll was traumitzed by being stuck in a body she didn't want, Killer Croc is an alligator man, which sounds boss on paper but really isn't.

The Joker is diffrent in that we don't know WHY he does this. It didn't hit me till this watch that he's one of the few foes in TAS who isn't given a full backstory upfront. While I love the film, I honestly forgot for a second that Mask of the Phantasm revealed him to have been a plainclothes gangster before he became the clown prince of crime.. and even THEN we don't know what made him like this. Maybe he's always been this way, maybe some trauma shaped him, we don't know. And that's what works: that mystique: we dont' know why the joker is the way he is, he just.. is. It's what makes him the perfect counterpart to Batman: Bruce is a man trying to take a chaotic world and give it order, give it someone who can provide justice where the law can't or simply is outnumbered to, all in the hope that one day no kid will ever loose his parents like he did, even if the quest to eats him alive (and at least in this contiunity as seen with his older self it certainly has in some ways). Joker simply wants to have fun, to put on a show... it's just his show is chaos, death and funny only to him. What he finds funny is frankly disturbing. He's the only one in on his jokes and he's happy that way.

This episode emphasies that, as well as the contrast: Batman is worked up that christmas eve, worried the Joker will pull something. Robin, being less experinced with the joker and costumed punching people what good brushes it off, thinking no one would possibly work on christmas. Bruce gets that maybe the theatrical clown who escaped on a christmas tree rocket he smuggled into a psychatic hospital has other christmas plans and they aren't good.

While Bruce is on edge partly because he's a workaholic, to the point he nearly stops a guy returning a package to an old lady on suspcion he's a mugger, he's not WRONG: the Joker is flashy. The bigger the audience, the better the show. It's why he frequently hyjacks the airwaves in this show: EVERYONE has to watch. He's fine with a small audience , but it has to be carefully curated... i.e. he's fine if it's just bats as bats is the perfect straight man. The perfect grim brick wall to play off of and someone he knows will never end his shit entirely for a simple reason.

So he's not going to stop baiting him. Bruce's mistake.. is SEARCHING for the joker. See while Batman knows the Joker... the Joker knows Batman. He made an audacious exit so Batman would KNOW he was out there and sweat it out trying to find him... but he also knows Bats well enough to avoid detection right away. To wait till it's time to start the show. Then it's fair play and Brucey can have all the clues he wants, it's an even match. But to Joker nothing would be less fun than batman spoiling his fun ahead of time. It's part simply how the game works for him and part simply being the kind of person who HAS to control the game. It has to be played by his rules , it's his show, he planned this, batman is simply performing it.

So Bruce gives up, has a nice christmas dinner for once, and everything's fine.... until he and Dick sit down to watch it's a wonderful life. I like the joke of Bruce not watching it because of the title. It's not only a common problem, many assume the film is super cheery because of it's title, but the idea of one man being important enough to make a diffrence is bruce's whole life. Of course the idea of a film where someone doubts that wouldn't be something he'd go to voluntarily. To him it's all about control.

Bruce's first watch of It's a Wonderful Life is interrupted by a holiday special.. CHRISTMAS WITH THE JOKER! Live from.. somewhere in Gotham, Joker's doing a cheesy holiday special, the kind I haven't seen a lot of , but that caked the 70's, down tow earin ga sweater ala bing crosby. He taught joker everything he knows about being terrible.

Naturally Joker needs a studio audience and while his awesome audience of cutouts, including batman and robin themselves, is fun and all, he needs some live hostages. Really ties the room together. So he kidnapped Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock.. and Summer Gleason

Summer is Gotham's reporter. If you forgot her, huzzah! It means it wasn't just me... but it's also fair as she really is just there for exposition and dosen't have Kent Brockman's lunacy or Perd Hapley's mastery of the worm

So it's easy to forget she exists, and weird she's here instead of Renee Montoya. Maybe they wanted a civlliann with the cops, maybe they thought of doing the mayor as one of these but found Gordon and Bullock both too fun to let out. Maybe she was supposed to be bigger in the series and just never quite hit it with the writers. We don't really know, though if I had to guess it'd be the last one. It feels like they intended to have more for Summer to do as she shows up more in the earlier episodes.. but it became clear they didn't really need her for more than just the ocasional smattering of news exposition, and even then really didn't need news exposition THAT often as Batman often did his own research better and used newspapers more.

Joker's kindapped the "Awful Lawfuls" as his requisite hostages and plans to kill them if Batman dosen't find him by midnight. Batman does trace the broadcast.. but when Robin points out it's easy, Bats counters it's NEVER this easy with the joker.

The Joker.. dosen't let Bruce down, as while their headed to the scene they not only have to deal with the giant toys rampaging through gotham.. but also a train. The train .. is easily the weakest part of this episode. It just.. stops for a bit so Batman and Robin can save a train. That's it. I forgot this entire sequence and it's easy to see why: in an episode full of colorful joker chaos and him in the best christmas sweater ever, it's just... a train. I love me a good train, and most trains are good trains. Except Gordon he's an asshat. But this is just.. filler. It feels like the episode went under time in scripting so they added a set piece.

Thankfully the episode picks right back up from this derailment with our dynamic duo heading to the gotham observatory.. naturally.. this is a trap and joker has turned the observiatory into a canon.

So Batman distracts it while Robin battles some joker themed tin soldiers inside. overall it's fucking amazing as it is out of left field. But unlike the train not being really jokery as a crime, this fits him perfectly. Turning an observatory into a laser.. simply because he can.

While stopping it is rad as shit, it dosen't get our heroes anywhere closer to the Joker. Thankfully the joker throws Batman a Bone, as this just isn't fun if Batman entirely misses the deadline and isn't there to either save the hostages just in the knick of time.. or watch as they die horribly in person. It just isn't the same on tv it has to be life dammit. SO he holds up a doll that Batman instantly identifies and know's it's factory shut down years ago.

Batman's Doll Trivia saves the day though as our heroes arrive and we get an awesome bit as Joker plays the nutcracker sweet as he sends out an army of weaponized toy, a beautifully animated utterly awesome sequence.

Turns out though Joker was just waiting for his cue, revealing himself via curtain dropping, of course, to have all the hostages suspended over a vat of.. acid? lava? it's something what hurts bad is the point so he forces Bats to open a present. It's a pie to the face!

This leads to a chase as Joker naturally cuts the cord anyway, but Bats manages to rescue them in time and chases joker on rollerskates.. and saves him when he almost dicks himself into the generic murder vat.

With that Bats can actually enjoy christmas.. as much as Bruce can enjoy anything, with him genuinely loving i'ts a wonderful life and christmas with his grown man boy wonder. Meanwhile the joker sings to himself in Arkham, entirely happy to pick this up again another day.

Christmas With the Joker is mostly an action set piece, but it's a well done one: in one ep we get who the joker is, why he's a match fo rbatman and how this whole game of cat and also cat works for him. It's a wonderfuly demented holiday special and if you haven't seen it it's more than worth your time.

I KNOW THIS IS JUST BRAIN ROT. I know it. Judge me not!!!

I saw a summary post of the current Batman arc ((Gotham War)) and my brain is full of bunnies so the panel of Jason having that panic attack (<- litcherally went to go find fic of this concept immediately after because HELL yes I want to see Jason suffering. Messed UP, Bruce!!!!!) BUT. The concept of a chip that makes you afraid whenever you feel adrenaline. Oh my god. Oh my god ❤️ fear toxin is already amazing. BUT THIS?? SO good. My tags have jason fic rambles but unfortunately I am Currently a Tim Drake stan first and foremost so my brain went:

Huh, Fake Anxieté? 👀 and was like concept: young!Tim's parents find out about his forays into Gotham and his slowly expanding Lack of fear to consequences (he's faced scarier in Gotham simply walking home from school! He's a teenager now and no teenager is able to understand their own mortality it's a literal Thing!), and thus he is Not being a Good and Obedient Young Son. They will Fix This. And so Tim gets chipped (oof don't think about the dog and leash metaphor in this thank you :)) and I like the angst of him not realising it. Having to deal with this sudden influx of anxiety, barely wanting to leave the house because he's started to get panic attacks when he goes out to photograph things, the human brain tries hard to protect itself. If you're constantly getting flooded by adrenaline and fear your neurological pathways adapt and tell you everything is bad.

And it's. He knows this isn't normal. Tries to get his parents to help, gets assistance from online pysch self-help, struggles so hard with it, and then Jason dying 👀 Tim deciding he has to do something even if he's terrified of the outside world. Using every trick he can to get Dick back in the game and when Dick scoffs and does that (I can't remember it verbatim) but the vibes of well if you think he needs a Robin so bad why aren't you volunteering? line. Bro. The angst.

ANYWAY because this is an au (even if using more fanon!tim characterisation 'cause. Chip) I'm also like. Make him fight scarecrow as his first bust.

...Tim literally stuck here in: I can't mode, but if he doesn't, Batman and Nightwing die- it's not even adrenaline that gets properly triggered by his chip anymore, as soon as any of it starts he just gets flooded with fear and his brain makes it so much worse. Alfred watching him have a total breakdown 🥰 <- bad. Being like Hm I think something is Wrong With This Child. And managing to help enough that Tim - who has spent YEARS battling his (fake, thanks parents) anxiety - powers through and then shakily collapses when he's home.

Also this is when Tim is like okay. This is so not normal. I just had a three day hallucination. And Also that felt a LOT like fear gas. Figuring out adrenaline is the trigger and trying to suppress it...oof. And the coping mechanism he uses to get through Robin is just. Completely shutting down. It is CREEPY to everyone else. There is a subsection of mooks terrified that Batman bought the old Robin back to life through his dark magic and that's why he goes from bubbly poking-Batman to Completely Silent and Darkness.

Alfred like: this young man has an anxiety disorder

Tim: something is greviously wrong and I can't bring it up with batman yet because this is an InternshipTM until Batman is able to function on his own but as I get better at being Robin I'm sure I'll figure out why my brain is so weird and Also how it is that I'm immune to scarecrow's gas (that's weird right?)

Nightwing: this kid is a wreck how on earth is he managing Bruce's mental health so well- oh yeah wait nevermind he probably has lots of help with his own. Hm. Let's make sure he doesn't get hurt- why on earth does he go through missions like a robot this is supposed to be fun and adrenaline inducing does he not like FUN????

Batman: Jason 😔

[f0linasahl0]

you know i have too many thoughts but i can't seem to place them well enough to make a single post.

like i'm just thinking about (multi fandom thoughts god save me):

-dustin and steve's friendship and how genuine it is. same with robin and steve. idk i think steve is just a good guy when around good people.

-thinking about how dustin was wearing rings in a stranger things teaser im literally going to break down

-thinking about how tyler's singing voice changes through each album. like idk how to explain it other than that. it's just good

-thinking about how draco malfoy deserved more than what he got. he deserved a better family. a chance at being an actual kid rather than caring about his family's image

-thinking about spencer reid. just spencer reid. loml

-there's so many songs i'd be so excited to hear on the clancy world tour. so many songs i'd break down to. so many songs that if they skip it i'd actually be heartbroken.

-thinking about how penelope garcia held that fucking team together shut up. she was the glue that held the bau together argue with the wall.

-still thinking about how fucking broken tyler looked through the livestream experience. how clancy was a puppet for the bishops through SAI. imagine how horrifyingly humiliating that would be. a man who tried so hard to fight something like that just to be the poster boy for it.

-still wondering what jenna and debby's roles are. like sure that's not a big thing but i care about it i wanna know where they are in the lore. like even if it's not meant to be something big id like to know

-i think i ended up liking draco malfoy as much as i do is because looking past the little boy who's a bully, look at his family bro. he had no choice in what he could be. his character is more complex than initially thought

-harry potter, as much as he deserved to be, was so whiny some times 💀. ron is just whiny in the later books. like come on you think this kid who's gone through hell wants to keep going through hell for some money?? ronald come on calm your tits and talk to him. just that whole fight in goblet of fire could've been avoided if he just talked to his friend. like you fucking think he wanted that ronald?? calm down.

-there's a few characters that if they die in s5 of stranger things im literally going to break down. specifically dustin, steve, and robin. if they die--dude like absolutely not

-peter parker you deserve the entire world you deserve everything. all the peter parker's in the marvel cinematic universe and marvel comic universe. literally i--UGH

-there's a few twenty one pilots songs that while i listen to them i specifically remember the music video and i think that's really funny. to note, some of them are stressed out, lane boy, somewhat fairly local, house of gold, guns for hands, i just remember the livestream ones for shy away and choker, there's so many but like--there's parts that remind me of the mv

-i don't think i ever hated SAI i just distanced from twenty one pilots in 2021 (which honestly was the worst time for me to do so but here we are) and thinking i disliked SAI was better than turning away from the band that probably saved my life from further depression and instead turning to dumbass minecraft youtubers that ended up just being awful awful people. i hate that. i hate that i was so awestruck by these mcyts that i didn't think about how bad they could've been. SAI is a good album i just never got into it like i am now and that makes me feel so sad. i don't want to be one of those "oh you just came back because the lore said this album was...blah blah blah" like okay thanks for the words and shit i don't really care let me LIVE

.....

anyway those are some various thoughts. idk what else to put anymore so enjoy this thought dump i guess 🤷

this is what i mean by multifandom i like too many things 💀

[flowersarefreetherapy]

Im sorry to vent but I’m up to date with hold on and I’m so…mad?

Im definitely biased but I don’t careeee 😫😫 they all did dannyboi DIRTY, he got the short end of the stick, he got massively screwed over BY everyone, even life omg

First of all, I have the biggest fattest bone to pick with Ezra, I’m sure he’ll redeem himself in the future but oh god did he make everything worse. Like bro shut up! Some things robin said I also found unfair but I would NEVER told them to shut up. I love Robin!

I can talk a lot about the painful timeline. Star was thriving while Daniel was literally being tortured. It was beautiful done. Star deserved to heal and to find love to live as a free man. I was (still am) rooting for him.

But omg when Daniel escaped everything went to shit. I don’t understand why no one just fxcking stopped for a second and said yooo dannyboi is a bit off let’s not TRIGGER HIM… but they all triggered him like it was a sport!!!

Everyone was so understanding with Star when he was being a creep because well of course he was going to be a bit off with boundaries and consent because he was living as a pet for years (maybe months im not sure hehe) like it made sense!!! But when dannyboi comes beat up, probably skinny as hell and visibly traumatized they’re like yo don’t be a baby star decided to move on 😜 it’s his choice relaaaaax 😋😋 you didn’t come back LOSER 😎😜 what did you expect?!! 😚😚

I was BOILING 😡😡

Like OF COURSE star doesn’t belong to Daniel but,,, couldn’t y’all wait at least ten minutes to drop that bomb. They had dannyboi extra triggered just for funsies.

I felt so bad when he punched Robin, oh god

I hope I’m not babying dannyboi too much…he has a lot to learn but he’s been through HELL and no one showed up for him 💔💔

All over the place I’m sorry… I’m sorry for calling star a creep hahah

Anyway I want to hear your stance am I babying Daniel too much??

-🎃

this is a fantastic rant! Your love for Daniel through everything is fantastic and it's so much fun to get the updates at where you are at!

Of course, I can't take sides in the whole thing, because they are all my favorites and I love them all to death, but yeah, Daniel's been having some trouble. Same with Star. Really, they're all just going through it. Daniel deserves to have all the hugs and get back together with Star. A huge part of it will be them learning how to have a healthy relationship that isn't built on their training, but they have to get there first down a really really long road The fight will hopefully break down walls and allow for people to start having honest conversations, which is good for Daniel! So he can talk things out with everyone, especially with Star. But happiness is the endgame!

robin buckley x reader dating hcs

(you’re referred to as her girlfriend but otherwise gn)

Holy shit holy shit

Robin would be SUCH a good girlfriend

Literally after all the bullshit she's been through now not only does she get a girlfriend??

But it's you?????

Holy fucking shit did she luck out

She's not like,, a super aggressive person or one to jump into a fight or smth yk

But once you're together she gets this fire she's never experienced before

And she knows that she won't hesitate to throw hands to keep you safe and happy

She will fight for you

In every sense

She's the first one to defend you

Someone makes an underhanded comment, your coworker does something creepy, your family or friends are being shitty, you get an unfair grade on an assignment you worked hard on

Or literally anything else

It doesn't matter, Robin will be there 10000% ready to stand up for you

Most of the time this manifests as using her hilarious wit and sharp tongue to verbally annihilate people until they apologize (which doesn't take long)

But everyone knows she will knock anyone out in one swing if it comes to that

It's sort of like dating chill 80s jade west

Because oh my GOD you're her girlfriend???

YOU'RE her GIRLFRIEND????

You're HER girlfriend?!?!???!?!!

When you first started going out she had a silent thank you god I don’t really believe in for answering my prayers

Again

She's such a good girlfriend

She's so attentive

Like when you're in the same vicinity you have her full attention

Even if it's in the form of quiet yearning admiration

The way you might look at a Renaissance painting you can never remember the name for until you eventually burn it into your memory so you never lose track of it again

Like for real

Any time you say anything she's ready to listen

You could be talking about absolutely nothing and she'll still be paying rapt attention, hanging on your every word

She's just so glad to be around you

Any amount of time with you is a good use of time

And dear god does she love kissing you

Forehead kisses

Cheek kisses

Neck kisses

Hand kisses

Literally anywhere she can kiss you she will

And of course, your lips

At any and all opportunities

God she can't get enough

And neither can you

Because she is an amazing fucking kisser

They're warm and full and soft

And very addictive

Which obviously leads to a lot of making out

Making out with Robin is one of the nicest things you can experience

She's so warm and soft

She always tastes a little like cherry or cotton candy depending on which lip balm she's wearing

She knows exactly what to do at exactly what moment to make you as flustered as possible

She picks up on your cues so fucking fast

Cause like she's so smart yk

She accurately translated and cracked a code in a language she doesn't speak in literally a day

She's good at puzzles and smart as fuck

Of course she'll pick up on all your cues super fast with some fuckin Sherlock style deduction she doesn't even notice she's doing

Making out with Robin will end in one of two ways

One of which won't be discussed here this is the sfw version

You'll be kissing and kissing and kissing until you're both full of butterflies and a little dizzy

One of you will get so flustered you start trying not to smile into the kiss

Then you'll both be smiling and giggling, faces warm, teeth scraping against each other

And you just stay like that

Giggling messes, clutching each other, foreheads touching

Her hands are probably on your cheeks

She'll try to kiss you again but you're both still smiling too much

She just buries her head in your neck

Completely and utterly lovestruck

Unable to function

Her brain is in happy chemical overdrive

And once again she almost can't process how happy

How fucking lucky she is to have you in her life

At all, but especially like this

She literally loves you so fucking much

She can not and will not shut up to Steve about you

If you started dating Robin before you knew Steve once you finally meet

You introduce yourself and he’s like “yEah I know,,,,” and you both look over at Robin

“She talks about me a lot?”

“I know your favorite color, you favorite band, I’ve heard you’re a very good kisser…”

Yes yes she does

Cause she loves you

How can she not talk about you all the time????

Who wouldn’t????

You’re so fucking amazing it’s impossible not to fall in love with you at first sight

And robin knows she’s not at all the exception to this rule

wish list for s5

will (and possibly max??) having powers and to use them alongside his sister el to defeat evil. i keep imagining a frame of all three of them with their hands out doing that yell as they take down the big bad of s5

max waking up, but also being loved and accepted for her likely permanent blindness and the duffer bros not pussying out on giving her a permanent disability

LUMAX. JUST EVERY ALL THE LUMAX. PASSIONATE KISSES? CUDDLES IN HER HOSPITAL BED? HELPING HER WALK? ALL OF IT. JUST INJECT IT DIRECTLY INTO MY EYES

ya’ll are going to hate me but i actually do like mileven and hope that their relationship can continue

in that same vein however they can’t make will gay and then not let him be happy too. give will a chance to not only come out but to be loved and accepted for it. give will a boyfriend or something

though i’m not totally opposed to byler either

will/robin scenes because she’s gay too and totally understands what he’s going through

will/max scenes because underrated friendship imo.

elmax scenes. like something. give me max looking for el in the void. i don’t care just give me something

honestly if some iteration of ronance happens i'll be thrilled

either way LET ROBIN KISS A GIRL 2024

at this point i'm fine with either jancy or stancy though i am worried one of the three of them is going to die

speaking of deaths: lumax must live because they're endgame. i want robin to live too. i'm not sure who else is safe and who isn't.

someone probably needs to fill in the parents on what the hell is going on. i'm sure by now they know something fishy's happening

tbh i don't give a shit about the russian stuff so if they want to wrap all that up they can

jopper getting their happy ending if possible

some sort of epilogue about their adult lives? does lumax have kids? what careers did all the surviving characters choose? is nancy a famous journalist now? i need to know

doesn't have to be a happy ending necessarily but if they pull a got s8 i will literally never forgive them

feel free to add yours below

Wash Your Mouth Out - fic

Characters: Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Jason Todd, literally everyone and also Clark. Summary: Tim shows his worry in a different way than most. A/N: This started as a Tim and Damian bro fic and then spiraled into just fambam times. I’d give more of a note but I ate too much for dinner and made myself sick so. oh well

~~

The situation was enormous, but not surprising. Typical bad guys trying typical crimes and being stopped by the typical heroes.

Today’s team-up was Superman and the Bats. From there, they’d split into smaller groups, with an open comm. line between them all. So far the line had been quiet, sans the sounds of punches and kicks, the event mostly contained.

Until right now.

They’d been gathering on a roof to share info and take a break. Bruce first, then Clark from above. Cassandra silently from the shadows, Duke and Stephanie loudly from one rooftop over. Dick had just crawled over the roof’s ledge and was stretching his arms above his head with a yawn.

Then an explosion boomed across their communicators.

All of them jerked in surprise and a few grabbed at their communicators to control the echoing rumbles. Bruce, of course, recovered the fastest, pressing his finger to his ear.

“Report!” He shouted. “Report, now! What happened? What was that?”

The line blipped and static cut in and out. They could hear the crackle of fire and things falling. There was a silent panic throughout the group – because the noises were coming from multiple connections.

“Report!” Bruce shouted again. “Now!”

Still, nothing. Cass pointed across the sky to where smoke was rising and immediately began to move across the roof towards it.

“Who was in the explosion?” Bruce demanded. “One of you, answer me right no-”

“Don’t you fucking dare!”

Everyone flinched again at the sound.

“…Tim?” Dick tried gently, confusion washing over his face. “Tim, what’s going on? Can you hear m-”

“You promised!” Tim continued yelling, anger bursting from every word, the sound of concrete and drywall moving in the background. “You fucking promised me, you little piece of shit!”

“Red Robin, report.” Bruce ordered once more, quieter now. Somewhat relieved. “What’s happening?”

“Damian, I swear to fucking god-”

“Where’s Robin? What’s going on?” Bruce continued to push. Stephanie raised her arm to look at her gauntlet computer. Dick looked up at Clark in worry, and Clark rose a little higher, turning towards the smoke. “Tim-”

Another crackle of static on the line, then, “Will you calm down, Red Robin? I’m fine.”

“Not when I’m fucking done with you.” Tim snapped back with a grunt. “You fucking scared me. Now get the fuck over here.”

“In a second, I want to grab-”

“Get fucking over here, Damian, or I swear to fucking god.”

Bruce sighed, even as Clark returned to the roof with a little smile. “Boys, can you-”

“Are you hurt? You’re fucking hurt, aren’t you?” Tim continued rambling. Cassandra tilted her head curiously, and Stephanie rolled her eyes.

“…Wow.” Duke offered. “I…I don’t think I’ve ever heard him cuss this much.”

“I…didn’t really think he did?” Dick admitted, face scrunched in bewilderment. “At least, not to…this extreme, I guess.” He shrugged, muttering, “Tim’s always been the good kid like that.”

“Well last I checked, good kids don’t cuss at children.” Stephanie snapped. “Tim, can you hear us?!”

“Whose fucking blood is that, Damian? Hm?” Tim scolded.

“No one’s!” Damian shouted back, clearly annoyed. “Now quit looking at me and let’s-”

“You’re fucking hurt and you’re fucking bleeding after you promised me-”

“I didn’t break my promise!”

“-you wouldn’t go and get yourself killed again!”

“And I’m not dead, am I? Jeez, Drake let’s get…unh.” Damian’s words were followed by an awkwardly inhaled breath.

“Oh yeah, no fucking injuries, not a fucking problem.” Tim drawled sarcastically. Another groan from Damian. “Nope. Not fucking doing this, kid. Come on.”

“Do not pick me up. I don’t need you to-”

There was the sound of movement, more painful grunting.

“You little fucking bum, what did I fucking tell you about wandering off? Especially in this fucking building?”

“This would be making even Lois blush.” Clark murmured. Bruce glared up at him.

“Red Robin. Report. Now.” Bruce ordered darkly. Tim didn’t respond to him.

“I don’t think he can hear us.” Duke offered. “He probably doesn’t know his mic is working.”

“Either of them.” Cassandra added, but then she frowned. “Damian’s breathing…bad?”

“Well, it sounds like Tim is carrying him, so hopefully that’ll help.” Stephanie tried to soothe. “He’ll be fine, Tim will make sure of it.”

Dick smiled softly, but at the same moment Bruce frowned, cowl lenses narrowing. “Not to sound…ungrateful that he’s clearly helping his brother, but since when has Red Robin worried so much for Robin?”

Stephanie stared deadpan at him. “Since like, always, B.”

Clark glanced down, eyebrow raised in judgment. “Even I know that.”

“I mean,” Bruce drawled. “So…openly?”

Duke shrugged. “More…recently? Like, last year or two?”

“Since your amnesia episode, Batman.” Stephanie clarified. “And then piled on during Dick’s, too.”

The two elder Bats sheepishly lowered their gazes, but if any sort of excuse or apology was going to come, they were cut off.

“Un-fucking-believable, Damian.” Tim huffed. “I can feel the goddamn dislocation in your knee. Did you really think you were going to fucking walk out of here without us noticing?”

“Will you just shut up?” Damian whined. “God, you’re starting to sound like Todd.”

And that reminded the rooftop crew. Dick perked again, face falling. “Jason was teamed up with them. If they were in the explosion, then the Red Hood must have-”

“Right now, I’m ignoring that shitty attempt at an insult.” Tim drawled. “And don’t you worry, he’s in fucking trouble too. As soon as we find him.”

“…I hear three heartbeats.” Clark offered. “So if he’s still in there, he’s alive too.”

“We need to get over there.” Dick stepped forward. “If Damian’s hurt as bad as Tim says, I’m sure he’s not much better off. They’re all going to need help.”

Suddenly, the awkward noises of movement, the crackling of debris underfoot, and then loudly:

“Hey, asshole!”

Stephanie snorted a laugh at the same moment Damian’s defeated sigh floated over the line.

“…You didn’t have to yell at him.” Damian mumbled under the sound of Tim stepping into a jog. “He’s just down the hall.”

“Who are you calling an asshole, shithead?” Jason countered. He immediately fell into a fit of coughing.

“Fucking great.” Tim spat. “You two are fucking useless.”

“At least we attempted to stop the bomb, unlike you.” Damian countered. Jason’s coughing got louder as the two younger approached.

“…Let’s move.” Bruce grumbled. “It sounds like they’re all relatively alright, but if not, Superman, you take whoever’s injuries are the worst and fly them straight to Penny-One. Otherwise, Nightwing, you take Robin, Spoiler, you handle Red Robin, and Black Bat and Signal, you take Red Hood.”

Everyone nodded and took off towards the crumbling building.

“Sorry I wanted to save our own asses rather than just chill out in a fucking building about to fucking explode.” Tim countered. “Because you know what? Fuck property damage. I don’t give a fuck. There I said it.”

“Oooooh, Red’s fucking mad.” Jason said weakly, voice hoarse from his coughs. “What’d you do, Rob?”

“Tried to fucking get himself killed again, that’s fucking what.” Tim answered for him. “You’re on some thin fucking ice yourself, Red Hood.”

“I’m peachy.” Jason sniffed. “Robin, why’s there so much blood on your tunic? Whose is it?”

“Nobody’s!” Damian repeated incredulously.

“God, you are the worst liar, dude.”

“That’s what I fucking said!” Tim agreed. Dick found himself chuckling at the exchange.

“Well…what about that then, Drake?” Damian pushed. “Look at the blood on his trousers!”

“No one likes a fucking tattletale, Damian.” Tim countered, but his voice was almost fond. “But I saw it already, thanks. Impaled I assume, Hood?”

“Shut the fuck up.” Jason huffed.

“And that’s what I said.” Damian hummed proudly. At least three of the listening Bats rolled their eyes.

“Got trapped in one of the labs. Explosion dislodged all of their equipment and beakers and shit. My leg got in the way, I guess.” Jason gave out a light groan. “No big deal, though.”

“No big deal.” Tim scoffed. “Yeah, no big deal my fucking ass.” Another sound of fabric moving. “Damian, I’m going to need my hands to hold up Jason. If you let go of my neck for even a second I swear to fucking god I’m gonna…like, fucking haunt you the rest of your life.”

“But-”

“Rest. Of. Your. Fucking. Life.” Tim repeated. Damian didn’t make another sound. There was another moment of movement, then a loud sigh from Jason, but from Tim’s mic.

“…No one likes a bully, Tim.” Jason grumbled.

“I’m not here for you to like me.” He hummed. “I’m here to make sure you two stay fucking alive. Now, which way do you think the exit is?”

Their chatter fell into directions and suggestions, then. Damian didn’t say much, but Dick caught the telltale noises of a sleepy sigh or two.

As the building came into view, Clark called, “Eastern side.”

They dropped to the ground like a swarm. Bruce hit the asphalt first, and barely caught himself before barreling forward towards a shattered and blocked door.

“How close to the door?” He called up to Clark.

“About two hallways.” Clark squinted. “And…going the wrong way.”

Duke snorted as Bruce threw a few small explosives forward. When they began to pop off, there was a crackle from the communicator line, followed by:

“What the fuck. What the actual fuck. I don’t have fucking time-!”

“God, he’s like a friggen sailor today.” Stephanie drawled. She glanced to Cassandra. “Don’t let him influence you, or I’ll kill him.”

Cass giggled.

“Guys, it’s us!” Dick called, stepping to the side as Clark began lifting some of the heavier debris away. “Follow my voice!”

And at the same time:

“Thank god.”

“Oh for fuck’s sake.”

“I heard that, Hood!” Dick yelled. “Your mics are still working!”

“And have been this whole time, you potty mouth!” Stephanie added loudly. Bruce couldn’t help but look to the heavens. These kids.

A pause, and then quietly from Tim, “Alfred’s going to kill me.”

But before anyone could continue to rib him, an even softer, slurred voice, “Grrrrayson? Brow’?”

“Shit. He’s crashing.” Jason said sternly.

“I knew he was fucked up. Come on.” Tim said stoically. “Do we need to stay this pace or can you walk any faster?”

Jason grunted. “I can manage.”

At that moment, Bruce and Clark got through the blockade, and Clark ripped the doors from their hinges.

“Stay where you are!” Bruce shouted. “We’re here, we’re coming.”

Dick and Cassandra were already running as he spoke, and sprinted around the corner as fast as they could. Almost instantly, they ran into their brothers.

Their hearts sank. All three of them definitely looked worse than they sounded. All three were covered in dust and dirt. Jason’s pant leg was soaked through, the leg itself almost deadweight. He was leaning heavily into Tim’s side, who had blood pouring down his face, bruises peeking out of holes torn in his uniform. Damian, clinging to Tim’s back, his leg smushed between Tim and Jason’s torsos, still had blood dripping from a gash on his side. It was so bad it was running down Tim’s cape as well, leaving a smeared trail of red behind them.

Cassandra grabbed Jason immediately, pulling him away from Tim and Damian just as the rest of the group turned the corner too. Duke ran up to Jason’s bad side, balancing his heavy weight between himself and Cass.

“You did good, Timmy.” Dick whispered reaching for Damian. The boy’s eyes were fluttering now, but he was still conscious enough to know what was happening, who was there. He began to shift his weight towards Dick’s hands, but jerked when Tim stepped away.

“I’ll take him.” He promised. “I’ll, uh…not that I don’t trust you, obviously, but…you know. I just want to see this through. I want to see with my own eyes that he gets the care he needs and, honestly,” A weak laugh. “I’m pretty sure the second I let him go I’m gonna collapse, so…for expediency’s sake, I’m just gonna…hang on to him.”

Dick smiled as Stephanie joined them. She looked him over, then back at Damian, and sighed. “God, you are such a weirdo, Tim.”

“…Drake?” Damian whispered.

“I got you, dude. And Dick’s here now.” Tim wrapped his arms back under Damian’s legs. Stephanie moved to be in step with him, taking hold of his arm. “Just keep hanging on, okay? We’re gonna head home.”

Dick put his own hand on Damian’s back, guiding their group forward. As they reached Bruce, he stepped in front of them, slowing them just slightly. He stared at them for a moment, eyes darting across his two youngest. Then he put his hand on Tim’s head. “…I’m proud of you.”

Tim’s eyes widened, instantly simmering with growing tears.

“Great.” Stephanie sighed. “Tell him that when he has severe blood loss and exhaustion. Way to go, B.”

“Don’t worry, Steph. We’ll make sure he tells him again when these three are on bedrest for the next month, and we’re near recording security cameras.” Dick winked, weaving them around Bruce and out towards the destroyed door. “The jet?”

“Already called and on its way.” Bruce called after him. “Penny-One has been alerted.”

Duke glanced up as they passed him with Jason. “And you?”

Bruce blinked. “Find whoever did this and beat the shit out of them.”

Cassandra smiled her agreement.

Clark sighed as he dropped his feet to the ground, standing next to Bruce as they watched the family leave.

“…Well I think I know where Tim got his colorful language from.”

Bruce just laughed.

[elllisabeth]

OK guys I’m back and better than ever. I changed my icon because I’m not gonna lie I am very mad at Michael. He’s still a favorite character and I still love him unconditionally but goddamn all of those scenes were just so hard to watch. As a bisexual woman I have experienced some of the things that Will has experienced when it comes to being in love with your best friend who is seemingly straight, right down to literally confessing by using someone else’s name to express said feelings. And that’s on the shoulders of The Duff bro’s. I just want to take a moment to say that I didn’t completely hate volume two. There were a lot of amazing scenes with Max for example, and El and Lucas. It’s just hard to focus on the good when so much bad is being shoved down your throat. I feel like all of us really got fucked over and used in order to get views and attention for a show that is already number one in the world. If the creators and the actors would’ve just been honest about what to expect for volume two I don’t think I’d be so mad. Mike’s character went down the drain, eddie’s death did not need to happen whatsoever, will and Robin did not need to get the treatment that they got. It’s just so unreal to me. So I think within the next couple days I’m going to rewatch and skip over the scenes that trigger me because there was a lot of them, and then do an honest review about volume two separated from Will and Robin. I hope you all are hanging in there and let’s hope that will and Robin will get justice next season. Love you all and thanks for keeping me company through my delusions. 

[erectionsandtea]

cym as your poly party headcanons

This got away from me but I apologize for nothing bc it was so much fun xD no angst was allowed.

You: when Will and Mike have a tiring day, they just want to curl up under a blanket on the couch and cuddle and be tired. And then El is like "there's no room for me" so she sits at their feet, and tugs the blanket just enough to wrap around her shoulders. And then Max, who's always up for teasing the boys, comes in to cuddle with El and pulls the blanket even more, so now they have more of it than the boys do. And Mike is like "Lucas, can you make your girlfriend stop stealing our blanket?" And Lucas is like "bro, I can barely control my girlfriend, ask yours to stop" and El just looks up at him with this innocent smile that's so pure, and Mike just sighs. And Will says, "can you just bring us another blanket?" And Lucas is like 🙄 but he does it anyway, lol

@willthecleric : El goes to see Will and finds he has a bunch of crumpled up papers all around him. She picks one up and looks at it, and it's obvsly about Mike (Will is trying to comprehend his feelings thru his art), and she knows it means that he has feelings for Mike. She also knows that her bf Mike likes him back (as he has talked to her about it multiple times - bc they are still besties). She tells Will he should tell Mike and Will is like "why?" And friends don't lie but she also promised Mike she wouldn't tell, so just "trust me." "is it bad?" She shakes her head, and Will knows she wouldn't lie to him. So he goes over to Mike's, where El has actually just been, telling Mike he needs to tell Will his feelings.

Later, while watching soaps, she gets a phone call and Mike is just like "I can't believe you told him" but she can hear he's happy which means everything went well, and she's just like "I didn't tell him anything"

(also Mike totally sees all the crumpled up drawings later bc El uncrumpled and saved them, and he loves all of them, and Will is a little embarrassed)

@thief-and-dragonfly : when any of the couples are being sweet and cute, Will will draw them (he has a bunch, like a stack of drawings, lol). When Will is part of the sweet and cute, El practices her art by drawing them. They're not as good as Will's, but everyone loves them.

@bi-max-mayfield : Max isn't generally soft, but when she is it's more with El than with Lucas. El teases her about it, being like "you're soft" and Max is like "shut up, I am not". And Lucas says to El one day, "you should hang out with her more, I kinda like soft Max" and Max is stuck in goldfish mode, her mind between "I am NOT soft" and "wait, what do you mean 'kinda'???". And whenever Max gets annoyed at him, Lucas will call El like "come quick, I need you to make Max soft again" before she throws a pillow at him, lol

@bisexual-mike-wheeler : whenever the above does happen, Mike is laughing his ass off, and he's just like "I'm so glad you're soft" at Will and Will is just like "bitch, I am not soft" and Mike is like "pls" and so Will shoves some popcorn in his face for that

@ghostgirlinsatin : Duzie, whenever some shit/chaos goes down, like "well, they're doing it again, do we need to intervene?" "no, I think they can figure it out for themselves this time"

@strangercoco : the teens figuring everything out before the kids do, and while Nancy and Jonathan try to help the kids with their figuring out, Robin is just like "this is golden" *eats popcorn* and Steve is like "bro, I wouldn't even know where to start"

@tsugarubecker : Joyce and Karen being able to talk the kids (all of them, lol) thru their crises, bc Hopper just can't fuckin do it xD (literally, he just doesn't know), but they also assure the kids that he's okay with it, he just doesn't express himself very well

@mike-wheeler-is-gay : Dustin conspiring with the teens to help everyone finally figure their shit out, and the teens are like "it's kind of weird that you're this invested in your friends' love lives" and he's like "about as weird as you two being this invested in your brothers' love lives" and they're like "...okay, you can help"

@strangerbug08 : the party needs to restart the movie they're watching bc they spend the first 20-30 minutes trying to figure out a seating configuration so all the couples can be together, bc somehow no one thought of this ahead of time xD (the arrangement they come up with is the one they use at every movie night following)

@lilithisamess : chaos!party, lol. during the movie, people get distracted. Lumax is tossing snacks at each other, except when Lucas misses and gets a popcorn in El's hair, who is listening to Byler trying to explain the meaning behind a specific scene (they can't agree and just end up debating, lol). Mike brushes the tossed popcorn out of El's hair, and while he's distracted by that, the movie scene changes, meaning the debate is over (and therefore, a very smug Will wins bc he was the last one to say something).

@wise-the-will : the notes that get passed around during school, omg "hey, can you give this to El next period?" "put this in Will's locker when you have a chance" "next time you see Lucas, tell him-" etc. lol

@beepboop358 : Mike writes stories and Will draws pictures to go along with them, and then Max reads them to El as bedtime stories (don't even tell me El doesn't get bedtime stories, lolll)

@argyle3is9pan4 : until they can get a van, everyone has to squeeze into a tiny five-seater. Max isn't allowed to drive, lol, so Dustin does, and Suzie is his navigator. the order of the backseat is Will, Mike, El, Max, and then Lucas. this arrangement only works bc Mike is so skinny, and he basically gets squished, especially when El and Will lean across him to talk to each other.

I'm sorry some of you got longer ones than others, but please believe me when I say that the same amount of love and thought went into every single one (I hope that helps). <3

IF I FORGOT SOMEONE, MESSAGE ME AND I'LL WRITE ONE FOR YOU :D <3

[strongxsurvivors]

stranger things rant under the cut because i just need to type out my feelings and put it out into the world. it’s messy but i am trying not to like cry lmao

buds, i’m tired and disappointed and angry and everything. duffer bros really said that they don’t think their queer fans deserve anything good lbr. i didn’t watch this whole season and i don’t want to — i don’t need to. i know everything that happens and i’m beyond let down. they know their audience is heavily made up of queer folx and yet, every queer coded — and confirmed (robin officially) — has absolutely been told that they do not get happiness. the suffering of queer folx is there for the advancement of cishet people and i’m so tired of it. stranger things was such a light to enjoy and there was a lot of potential. but, to have EVERY SINGLE QUEER CODED CHARACTER absolutely given shit this season just told me that the duffer bros and netflix do not care about us. this isn’t some radical shipper fan being upset that their ships aren’t cannon. i can get that, i can accept that my ships won’t happen. but, to take it a step further and destroy these characters — literally and/or emotionally — was unneeded and only communicates to the audience that being queer = bad. i’m tired of killing your gays, i’m tired of queers not being the heroes, and i’m tired of queers needing to suffer. i don’t care if it’s the ‘80s’ and it’s unrealistic. queers have always existed and this fucking show is fantasy. they’re fighting monsters for fucksake — realness isn’t really a fucking factor here. idk. i’m rambling and i’m missing points. but, i think all queer people will understand. and, if you don’t understand, don’t undermine our feelings. these characters were so important to us, how we read them was so important. it’s like taking will’s painting and ripping it into tiny pieces. maybe to someone else, it was JUST a painting. but, to us, it was our heart, feelings, hopes, and identity. we were told we were unwelcome, unwanted, and should stay silent.

[batarangsoundsdumb]

yet another ask dump yeehaw!

do you ever think that jay's mother was one of those bitch who believes in horoscope and tarots and things like that and so he believes in these things too, or it is just me projecting?

sheila haywood took one look at jason's birthchart said 'nah this won't do' and left.

Wait, but what happens when the justice league does find out that Bruce and John fucked? Lmao it sounds like it would be hilarious, really, I don’t want a justice league that doesn’t make fun of Bruce for like his entire life.

barry runs out of the meeting immediately and comes back with an entire sti testing kit. diana fully seriously wants bruce to get tested while bruce is sitting there like 'come on guys, you're being ridiculous, i already checked twice'

john is standing in the corner clearly offended while bruce is just like 'don't even say anything, constantine, you fucked a shark'

tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.

on the one hand, good for him, on the other hand, bro, how do you still have a secret identity when your superhero name is just your last name,,,,

Your fic on ao3 was GOLD PLEASE CONTINUE I loved Dinah's cameo btw ( @purple-vixen

thanks so much! i already continued but this ask is like 10 years old because i'm a notorious procrastinator (also yes! i love dinah so much aahhhhhhhhhhhh)

I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.

bruce internally: holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit bruce externally: get out of my city, alien

AHHH ur multimedia fic is the only thing that brings me happiness anymore continue it forever pls

uhh thanks, but can't continue it forever because my attention span is that of a toddler on crack on a good day and i can't function without at least 10 things going on at the same time and music in the background

Oi, so I'm getting into dc and watching batman the animated series, and they use fruitcake a lot. Which I thought was very funny and wanted to share w you - Denilla

wait like fruitcake (food) or fruitcake (derogatory) ?

young justice 🤝 teen titans slut shaming batman

tim drake and dick grayson to their respective teams 'you guys stop it, that's my dad'

Happyhoganon: If an eighty year old Batman had fought crime in Gotham City for decades and the only threats to him and the city lately are a wheel chair bounded Penguin, your usual purse snatchers and a few con artists popping up every now and then, how well could the Dark Knight do in maintaining the peace in Gotham despite him being just somewhat fit to do that as an elderly man (which says A LOT given how old he is)

uhh he'll probably do what my grandpa does and that is ruthlessly prank them until they die of shame.

in the death in the family interactive movie there's an ending where Jason is tasked with raising Damian and he decides he's gonna raise Damian to take down the waynes and al ghuls which uh maybe isn't great BUT the idea of Jason raising Damian... PRICELESS. CHAOTIC. I just need more people to know about this :)

yes i saw that wow holy shit but jason would accidentally drop damian on his head one (1) hour in and jason just yeets him into the lazarus pit.

Headcanon: The Penguin has a really hard time fighting any of the Robins because of his avian obsession means there's always a small part of his mind that's like "Birb. Child. Protect" ( @subspacecadet )

as soon as dick becomes nightwing the penguin is like 'you know what, fuck this dude' and shoots at him.

Y'all talking about King Shark dating Constantine, let's not forget about John literally hooking up with Satan

listen there's a clear difference between monsterfucker and satanfucker in that king shark is literally a shark and satan still looks like a normal dude

Does everyone in Gotham think Batman is a teen dad?

everyone in gotham thinks batman has been around since gotham was founded, but they do think that bruce wayne is actually a teen father and dick grayson's biological dad.

why. why would you do that fancast when you know it will only hurt people

what? i loved my fancast it was really well done. i did it with good representation in mind and i really managed that with alfred pennyworth being ✨italian✨

Seeing james charles a jason gave me psychic damage how dare you i need to wash my eyes

well that's a you problem isn't it?

do you think dick grayson thirst tweets about nightwing just to annoy his family/cause problems on purpose in general?

he thinks nightwing is hot, next question.

holy jiminy cricket batman, its as cold as the good lords ass crack in here!!

i- what? this is why i don't fuck with english expressions it's way too goddamn weird

Brooooooo, your teen dad!Bruce au is soooo good. I've got brainrot.

Honestly if you ever write anymore, I'd read that shit twice. Sign me the fuck up. Good stuff, Good Stuff.

uh yeah i'm thinking about writing a fic, but i have exams coming up and i don't wanna fail because that would suck. but after i'll certainly be writing more tho

your teen dad AU is so great! bruce acting like a big brother for all of like a week before he's telling everyone about his son. what if in the AU dick meets the JL because they need to rescue him? maybe he's in trouble/kidnapped at a gala and bruce starts calling for JL. clark finds him and has to fly with dick to bring him home - that's how dick and clark meet and superman becomes dick's fave hero. he goes around the manor thinking he can fly with a red blanket draped around him like a cape.

actually- if you want a young dad! bruce fic with like that kinda stuff(just with damian) go check uhh- in for a penny by cdelphiki. it's really good and bruce is like 24/25-ish. (and dick's there!!!)

This account has solely convinced me that Tim is a trash goblin ( @hamilcat-and-magic-turtle )

because he is. that boy has slept in dumpsters on multiple occasions even if he is the son of a billionaire.

Okay but when you said victory dance I did think of the whole justice league defeating the big bad and then they all start flossing

well that's exactly what hal jordan does and that's why batman uses a gun now. no but the victory dance in my opinion is like the 'we're all in this together' dance from high school musical.

The horrors in Invincible s1 was nothing compared to the comics, I cant wait for s2

oh well okay, i mean i personally react to horror and violence by laughing awkwardly so i can't wait to be called a monster for accidentally laughing at a mass murder.

I'm currently watching Batman: The Brave and The Bold and- Bruce is just talking about Oliver like he's an old love (@nightwings-kid)

okay im going to watch that lmao that's totally and completely in character for him tho.

The invincible comic is like super gratuitous with its violence so much so I'm shocked the show was able to adapt it in a faithful way! Anyway had the show been live action it absolutely wouldn't have the same impact as it does as an animated show and I'm so glad so many people agree with me on that

also because a live action casting would've been like uhh amanda stenberg for amber, the dude- the guy from the supernatural but with a mustache for omni-man, and scarlet johanssen for debbie grayson

Debbie grayson is a milf, yes. You're welcome for the invincible propoganda, now you can questions your life. Bruce def seems like the perfect father next to Omni-man. Like they really took a rip off justice league and I was like well, now I'm attached even tho I was like hah I know who they're supposed to be. And then bam- death gore death gore gore gore sad Mark grayson just had to have daddy issues. Why does every character have daddy issues. I'm sick of the attacks

because daddy issues make a person arguably funnier, that's why i'm not even remotely funny (haha good dad flex). i liked that it was dark contextually, but not in the colouring, bc i hate when it's like 'uh yeah graphic murder and now a shot so dark you have to sit in a dark room and squint at the screen to faintly see the characters. (like dcau ugh)

About the Wayne insurance, for a moment I thought you would put the video with moans over the waves.

i mean- i could've done that, but rick rolling seemed more family friendly.

Its the first time in forever that im surpise rickrolled, i usually expect it. Congratulations (i really should know better this is tumblr)

i get rickrolled so often but i actually like the song so i dont really give a fuck

Actually, my information about Damian and John's kids is outdated because it was revealed that the old men telling the kids stories about the Supersons were actually Jon and Damian the whole time. I was blinded by my thirst for Grandpa!Bruce Wayne but I was wrong... I liked my version better, tbh (@artemisa97)

fair enough. but i'd honestly like to see damian and jon getting together, just because it's a really fun dynamic and their friendship was really cute when they were kids. (also idk maybe it would be nice to have one (1) main batfam/superfam character that's not cishet)

How am i JUST finding your blog skdskfkd you're so fucking funny and ur takes are hot

i thought u were calling me hot :( but youre not :( crime detected (but lmao thanks)

So I have depression and I swear that your memes are one of the few things that have made me laugh so thank you 💛🥺 (@katekanebadass)

aw you're welcome, and i hope you're doing okay!

The metropolis memes are so funny, I love them 💀😌

i think metropolis is also so fucking funny it deserves more attention imagine having your entire police force being upstaged by an alien from kansas and his kids

as an american i feel your complete lack of knowledge of us geography is just so sexy (platonic) ❤️

thanks so much (i also don't know any other geography, i'm not kidding, like you can tell me you're from hungary and it will just blank, there will be nothing that comes to mind)

In the DC universe they don't say "Can't have shit in Detroit" they say "Can't have shit in Gotham"

this just reminds me of that guy whose porch got stolen like the steps to his door, and i'm thinking of people living in gotham and waking up without a front door and going "can't have shit in gotham"

honestly all i know about chicago is the bean, so. what would gotham's famous sculpture be?

gigantic gargoyle statue in front of one of the police precincts because a villain thought it was a smart way to keep the police inside, but it's too heavy to move.

why tf do people go on about how batman "works alone" or how he's the "lone wolf" when he like 38290202 members in his family

bc people think it's cool that a grown man in his 30s has no friends or family instead of calling it what it is (sad)

Bruce is gotham's sugar daddy

why would say something so controversial yet so brave.

my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context

dick: gerard way are you in position, gerard way are you in position

tim: for the last fucking time, my codename is 'totally not count olaf' this week, abbafan 3000

dick: shut up my codename isn't 'abbafan 3000'

dick: it's 'abbafan number 1' and you know it

I have a feeling Tim drake is ur favourite batfamily member but okay u don't have favs if u say so ok

i mean he is, i won't deny it. but i love each and every one of the batfam just the same, i just have a weak spot for short dumbass nerds, because i'm a short dumbass nerd.

Omg i fuckin love boy meets world too fam shsjkfk

bro boy meets world was the shit!!! it was just fire and awesome and so fucking great like bro. it was so good im not even going to be accepting criticism

you know I find the whole "joker completes batman" thing a bit disgusting considering the horrendous stuff the batfamily went through because of the joker and let's not get started on the "joker has a point" thing like yeah he's this cool complex villain but he's absolutely batshit crazy

like yes! i get what you mean the joker just fucking sucks man he doesn't do shit for batman's character or the batfam he's literally just annoying as fuck. like the joker has a point' shit is so stupid. i will accept 'magneto was right' because he fucking was and i think he didn't do anything wrong, but joker? he's just like that. he's not even cool and complex he's just a weirdo with a bleach kink at this point.

ALSO YOUR RACISM POST- SO TRUE BESTIE

thanks bestie, i'm glad you agree.

in today's essay of why I think cass should become batman- I was thinking Tim would probably be the most efficient batman in many ways but I also think he wouldn't want to be batman tbh none of the batfamily members would want to be batman because they're trying to outgrow him but cass is the one who wants to represent the symbol that is batman

absofuckinglutely i will say it again and again that cass represents the batsymbol more than anyone in the batfam, in batgirl (2000) she literally didn't care about anything else than bruce's oath to not kill, she thought the batsymbol was more important than anything in gotham. she's just an excellent character because her motivation to not kill is not 'i'm scared i can't come back from it' or 'well my dad says no murder so i'll go along with it' but that she's killed somebody as a young child and she never wants to kill a human ever again and that's so fucking beautiful for a new batman like yes.

need more cass, duke and tim inclusion in gothamite memes

yes yes, a tall order of cass, duke and tim coming up in 1-14 business days

oldest to youngest batfam members cus I'm confused as shit

okay order of being taken in: dick, jason, tim, cass, damian, duke order of age: alfred, bruce, dick, cass, jason, tim, duke, damian (though cass and jason are around the same age general consensus is that cass is a little older)

I'm so confused Steph is a redhead?? like how was it that hard to get this right? the source material is literally right there and free

cw is jared, 19

do you receive anon hate? if so, how do you deal with it

uh no, i'm not remotely popular enough to get anon hate and i also don't say a lot of things that would attract anon hate, but i do send anon hate to @the-real-peter-parker because he forgot about the specialists from winx club

Wait how many languages do you speak??

uhh- 5 if you include latin, but that's a dead language and i'm really bad at it. but english, my native language, german, and french also, tho german and french not fluently.

You can mix aguaepanela with aguardiente 😈 and is tasty

okay but now i'm curious if the liquor deserves the 😈 emoji or if that's a you problem. but i googled it and it looks like something you'd take one sip of and then not remember the rest of your evening.
