batfam in random situations part 1 (?): airport
i’m so deep into batfam brainrot its kind of terrifying. so. uh. yeah. here is what i think they’re all like on a vacation that requires flight. for all intents and purposes, this is a commercial airline lets pretend the private jet that bruce so totally owns is out of commission. apologies if these are not accurate to their characters, i’m just having fun lol
for starters i definitely think bruce is that parent who’s super anal about getting to the airport on time
like the flight leaves at 8:30, bruce wants to get up at 2:30 and wake everyone else up with him
he’s got checklists for every kid cause every kid is different
i think this house looks like chaos - like think home alone when the mcallisters’ power goes out and they wake up late except the fam is just like that
i’d like to think duke is the most prepared out of all of them - he’s got his suitcase, his carryon, and the comfiest yet cutest airport clothes (cause you know the hot airport people you’re only ever gonna see once? duke dresses to be one of those people)
duke is getting dragged into the chaos though - one minute he’s sitting watching some avatar: the last airbender, next he’s being bombarded by dick asking if he’s gonna ge arrested for bringing shampoo thats only a little over 8 ounces (its like 8.00001)
“no, damian. you can’t bring alfred with you to france. ESPECIALLY not batcow!”
tim was supposed to pack last night. and he was going to, honest! but then the drug case he’d been tracking picked up some heat again and the time got away from him. so he ropes cass into helping him pack efficiently. she only agrees if he lets her have the window seat.
i feel like out of all of them, jason is not a flying kind of guy? like a part of me is really getting the vibe that jason hates to fly so he’s always gotta have some dramamine on him. that and some noise-canceling headphones.
window seat fans: dick, tim, cass, steph
aisle seaters: bruce, jason, duke, damian
middle seaters (not by choice): tim, and on occasion bruce
tim has never ONCE gotten a window seat when they fly
steph’s carryon is JAMPACKED with everything you could ever need. first aid, secret snacks, etc. she’s surprised it even fit with her.
dick always brings a double headphone adapter, so he forces whatever sibling he’s seated besides (usually tim) to watch his airplane movie of choice: crazy rich asians
unrelated but do you think to keep up appearances, bruce joined the mile high club? i think so but anyway back to our regularly scheduled program
there are more pictures of damian watching a movie on his green-cased tablet with big headphones than he would like there to be. most of these pictures exist on dick’s phone.
it’s a struggle to get tim to sleep at home but on flights? he sleeps like a mf’in baby. especially when it’s a night flight so the cabin is dark and comfortable with those pretty lights. yeah goodnight tim drake.
steph is not afraid to get up in an annoying kid’s face if he’s kicking her seat. she’ll fight.
one thing about duke? he’s gonna fuck up some in-flight snacks. sometimes he won’t even eat them on the flight, he’ll just buy a few bags of the peanuts and collect them as a snack for vacation. they work well for him if they go on walking tours that last all day
more pictures on dick’s phone that said subject wish didn’t exist: photos of jason conked out on bruce’s shoulder and he is most definitely drooling
dick HATES airplane bathrooms. he’d rather piss himself than relieve himself in one of those.
cass’s airplane playlist is fire. she even looks cool listening to it.
damian CANNOT be seated behind tim; thats just a recipe for a no-no. he WILL kick the seat and there WILL be blood. no exceptions.
i skipped ahead to the actual flight and not the airport whoopsies let’s go over that below
dick always gets nervous going through bag check - he’s always FINE but he worries that somehow he’s got something he shouldn’t in his bag (this is something i do i KNOW i don’t have anything i shouldnt but what if 20 kilos of cocaine suddenly just appeared in my suitcase?)
tim has definitely had airport sushi like that snl skit. didn’t end well.
remember how i said duke was one of those hot people you see at the airport that you never see again? cass is also one of those people. they are just a cool duo and the paparazzi pictures are lowkey an aesthetic
bruce does a roll call at least seven times. it’s necessary since they have left a kid at home before (it was tim. he was salty about it for at least a month and guilt tripped everyone into doing what he pleased because of it)
to pass the time before they board, steph and jason play cards. their favorites are war and speed.
jason plays wait for me (reprise) in his headphones everytime he walks on one of those horizontal escalator thingys
dick and steph like to impersonate the flight attendants when they do that safety walkthrough
the kids all race each other down that long hallway before they board
unless he goes with them, alfred’s vacation usually begins when bruce texts him that they’ve landed and are on the way to the hotel (which opens the door for other shenanigans i might do a part 2 after all)
okay i think thats all i have i think other scenarios i’d like to do are these:
batfam at a hotel
batfam going grocery shopping
batfam at a wayne gala
batfam on vacation
there are probably more but who knows. for all i know, i’ll never do another one of these again.

“I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006,” Gaiman said in a statement accompanying Amazon’s “Good Omens” Season 3 renewal announcement Thursday. “Terry was determined that if we made ‘Good Omens’ for television, we could take the story all the way to the end. Season One was all about averting Armageddon, dangerous prophecies, and the End of the World. Season Two was sweet and gentle, although it may have ended less joyfully than a certain Angel and Demon might have hoped. Now in Season Three, we will deal once more with the end of the world. The plans for Armageddon are going wrong. Only Crowley and Aziraphale working together can hope to put it right. And they aren’t talking.”
Ok, this actually reinvigorates what I definitely want to see in S3.
Angst/banter/bickering/procrastination of apologies or proper reconciliation.
Crowley and Aziraphale facing death/war/danger/god/satan/apocalipse/armageddon.
Towards the end, Aziraphale looks at Crowley and finally says, 'In case we don't make it - I love you'.
Crowley smiles, they hold hands and they face whatever it is together.

I'll never understand why some Sakura fans as well anti/pro-SS crowd keeps dragging Itachi into their fanwars. The arguments usually are the same: Itachi traumatized Sasuke (so he doesn't love him/isn't a good brother) and Itachi killed innocent people (so he's a bad guy). That what Itachi did to Sasuke, neither Sauske would do to Sakura and nor Sakura would ever dream of doing to Sauske.
Fair enough.
He'll agree with you. But the truth is... It's much easier to love and empathize with Itachi than it is to love Sakura. I'm not anti Sakura. I like her as an independent character and don't get the hate either, but won't be dragging Itachi into it to counter this hatred for her.
Itachi gets love not because we think he's a good/innocent boy who did nothing wrong, but because how interesting he is. How his character moves the story forward. How, without him, most of the story would not be as interesting and poignant as it is. In more than 700 episodes of the anime and the manga, he might be a minor character, but he impacts the story more than most characters do.
If you're applying your irl logic in the Naruto world and judging the characters and their motives based on them, then that's not my problem. But let's also not act like Itachi is all what your opinion restricted to his wrong doings allows you to see. He never goes on to acting like a saint. He never goes on to acting like he's the best brother ever. He knew his flaws, his mistakes, as well his love. He knew even if he wanted Sasuke's forgiveness, Sasuke didn't have to forgive him. He knew.
He never made his life, choices, or, you know, anything at all, about himself. A child soldier, a traumatized kid, forced into making decisions adults ought to be handling... Right, you're very wise as an audience and objective in thinking he should not have messed up. :)
Having said that, I'm strictly anti-SS. SS was never about two individuals, it was always about Sakura's feelings. She wanted to accompany Sauske when he deserted the village? It wasn't because of him, it was because she would be alone. I lost any interest in her as Sasuke's potential life partner the moment she decided killing him was the only way to save him from "darkness."
There's a lot more, but I'm not interested in the ship.
The bottom line is - an interesting character in fiction is always more than welcome than a bland one. A character influencing the story will always get more exposure whether you like it or not. Itachi, in all his glory, is a flawed and interesting and an empathetic character. Your hatred for him won't change anything how we feel about him.
