Some Batfam Headcanons because the brain never stops;
Jason hates being called "Bruce's Son". But he hates it more when hes called "One of Wayne's Orphans/Wayne's child" because fuck you I'm his son-! wait no--
With the exception of Damian, they rarely refer to Bruce as "Dad/Father". Either it didn't occur to them/didn't see the need to/thought it would be strange. But when Dick/Jason/Tim/Cass are tired or injured it might slip out. And Bruce might just crumble a bit at it
Doesn't mean they don't say it to their siblings when Bruce is out of Earshot.
"Dad said you couldn't." "What do you mean Dad said I couldn't use that mug? It's my mug!" "You snooze you lose Timmy Boy-" "Jason don't be an asshole-"
That being said Bruce says "son/daughter/child" at every available opportunity he can after he knows that they have acclimated enough that they wouldn't be uncomfortable/know they can tell Bruce that they don't want to be called that.
First time Bruce called Dick "son" in a way that meant "You are my kid" and not in a "This police officer just called me son with a brow furrow" way Dick grinned and carried on with the conversation. Later he wondered if his dad wouldn't like someone else calling him Son; but Dick thinks about the life he was given because of Bruce and thinks maybe his dad wouldn't mind.
Calling Jason "son" is a hit or miss situation, even before he died. The first time it happened he was confused, he didnt think that was the relationship they had and it made everything change for him. He got frustrated--not angry--with himself and Bruce at this sudden emotional turmoil. Wasn't he just the kid Bruce picked up in an alleyway? Wasn't he just some street rat in bright Robin clothing? (He lets himself believe that he can be Bruce's son. If for only a little while).
Tim cries after Bruce is out of earshot, it would've been a year or so after his parents died and he was adopted. He didn't think he could have been wanted like that again. Even if you think the Drake's had A+ Parenting or not, I don't think he would have gotten a lot of confirmation of being wanted otherwise.
Cass smiles, emotions carefully concealed under her expression. She's grateful she found Bruce and he doesn't mention it if she leans a bit closer in a request for closeness.
Damian doesn't expect anything less, he only appears satisfied. But also relieved that he has gotten the confirmation that yes, Bruce wants and accepts him.

What happened yesterday in Moscow, obviously, both Putin and other scum are just trying to blame it on someone else. They always have the same methods. It’s déjà vu. There were blown-up houses, shootings, and explosions. And they always shift the blame onto others,” said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an evening video message.
“They come to Ukraine, burn our cities, and try to blame Ukraine. They torture and rape our people, yet we are the ones blamed. They have driven hundreds of thousands of their terrorists onto Ukrainian land, fighting against us without concern for what’s happening in their own country.
All of this unfolded yesterday, while Putin, instead of addressing his Russian citizens, remained silent for a day, contemplating how to shift the blame to Ukraine. It’s entirely predictable. The hundreds of thousands of Russians currently dying on Ukrainian soil should be enough to halt any terrorists.
If the Russians are willing to die silently in the ‘crocuses’ without questioning their special services, then Putin will exploit any situation to further his personal power.”

ive said this many times to friends but i feel like the owl house is one of the most special animated shows in that it makes the adult cast, who are all middle aged/in their 40′s or older, just as interesting if not more interesting than some of the main teenage cast. it really makes the story feel much more relatable and grounded in reality. It communicates the sentiment that your life doesnt become boring or perfectly mundane once you reach a certain age or even have kids, and that you can still learn new things and deal with new/resurfacing issues well into adulthood; there is no age where you are expected to be completely stable, and thats fine. they write every character so well and theyre all fantastically complex, regardless of their ages, and i will never stop singing praise to this show for that.

this is your semi-regular reminder, especially now that people are going on vacation and may find themselves somewhere like disney or a living history site or any sort of attraction where you may encounter an employee in a costume:
If You Wouldn't Touch Someone You Just Met In A Certain Way, Don't Touch An Employee In A Costume That Way Either
i don't mind when im offered a handshake or a little kid hugs me at the end of a tour. hell, i don't even mind if your bachelorette party asks if i want to join a group hug for a photo.
but im a person! the tinkerbell you see at disney is a person! the milliner at colonial williamsburg is a person! my coworker portraying an enslaved woman is a person! the clothes we are wearing are our work outfits, our bodies are our bodies. you do not get to treat us differently because of the photo op you want, or because you caught a glimpse of historical undergarments that intrigues you, or because you think that we, as workers, cannot say no to you without getting in trouble.
Treat Everyone You Encounter As A Person, And Don't Touch My Fucking Stomach

Tbh as a cane user it’s a little funny to me that Harry gets shot in the leg (and potentially the shoulder) and then has to just. Continue w his Jamrock shuffle. Sounds like a wheelchair situation to me, but damn, nobody had even a spare cane for the guy? Crutches, perhaps? Couldn’t even like go out and get a particularly large stick? He reopens his wound just by taking a nap and having a nightmare, and then if u try and let him catch his breath you’ll just trigger the idle animation where Cuno makes Harry give him a piggy back ride 😩 and then you can’t even do drugs about it or Jean will bully you. How about I shoot YOU in the shoulder and the thigh and see how well YOU do even trying to MOVE without fourteen different substances in you, hm?? Anyway I think there should be a cane in the game with +2 Pain Threshold (pain management) +1 Volition (soldiering on) -2 Hand/Eye Coordination (hands full) and +1 Half Light (improvised weapon)

i respect that ppl find home maintenance to be so difficult and expensive in and of itself that theyd prefer to rent but honestly after years of having to identify home maintenance problems and sometimes even fix them in my landlords' properties i cannot wait to own my own home one day lol!
we've done so many random diy jobs around the apartment... i also had to deal w/ the gas leak basically on my own bc my landlord knew i had already taken the day off --- even tho it was his pipes that needed to be fixed!
i also watched my parents renovate a lot of my childhood home and fix things themselves -- and i helped out too -- it's definitely not for the weak as'dlgk but i know i could mentally handle doing it
