After Bruce took Dick under his care, he actually stopped wasting time on any casual relationships - it seemed inconceivable when a little traumatized boy with unrestrained aggression and a desire to commit a capital murder was waiting for him at home. But after a few years, he thought, to hell with it, he deserved one night of good old fun. So he went to this gala concert in his best outfit, having previously arranged with Alfred to take Dick out for a short hike so that the mansion would be free during the night. And when he started looking for his "victim", he came across this charming reporter, all screaming Mr. Awkward with the broadest shoulders known to a man, and hands as warm as his smile, and Bruce, of course, takes him home. And everything goes great, only Dick returns earlier than Bruce expected, and enters his bedroom as usual without knocking.
Dick: hey B look i collected a whole basket of mushro— SUPERMAN??
Bruce, still half asleep, barely covering himself with a blanket: what
Dick: WHY IS THERE SUPERMAN IN YOUR BED.
Clark, without his glasses, his hair is combed back from the position of his head on the pillow: um
Bruce, already embarrassed and feeling like he'd failed as a guardian by letting Dick catch him the morning after: Dick what are you talking about, it's just some—
Bruce, turning to face Clark:
Bruce, paling:
Dick: THIS IS THE SUPERMAN YOU DICKHEAD WHAT IS HE DOING IN YOUR BED WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM—
Bruce: i... i don't know how to answer that
Dick, almost crying: DID YOU MAKE LOVE TO HIM WITHOUT TELLING ME—
bruce wayne and dick grayson's relationship has me in a fucking chokehold cuz like. What do you mean theyve known eachother the longest and he was Bruce's first Robin, his first son. What do you mean they fight more often than not now? That Bruce actually kicked him out ane fired him and Dick still grew up to be the man that he is despite that. What do you mean Bruce is so irrevocably proud of him and wants to thaw the ice on their relationship but hes already done too much hasnt he?
What do you mean he thinks that touching their relationship now might do more harm than good? That Dick doesnt try to fix it either because for once in his life he doesnt want to have to be the bigger person here. He wants his dad. He wants him to come get him and hold him and tell him he never did anything wrong and that hes sorry and that he loves him. That hes still his son. What do you mean Dick grayson has resigned himself to the fact that it'll never happen?
when Duke needs backup in a fight he uses his powers to blast bat-signal-esque signs into the sky to call for whatever sibling is best suited for the job. each sibling hates their calling sign, and even worse, they actually have to respond to it because Duke only uses them when he’s like three minutes away from dying so they literally have no choice, like if their symbol shows up they have to fucking BOLT over there regardless of the indignance or Duke will not make it
Jason: the middle finger emoji
Damian: a somehow detailed image of the Boss Baby
Dick: just the word ‘slut’ in bubble letters
Tim: the red robin restaurant logo, complete with ‘gourmet burgers and brews!’ underneath
Steph: a taco, in reference to a time when she was drunk one night and Tim got on video her chasing down a moving taco truck insistently only to face plant into the side of it when the driver finally stopped to let her buy one
Cass: her regular symbol, because shes the only one he respects completely and it drives the others insane to have one sibling un-harassed
Bruce doesn’t have one because he refuses to call for Bruce. Alfred has one, a shotgun, although it’s never been used, and it pisses Bruce off to no end.
Thoughts on the goat, Cassandra Cain?
She is a good egg!!!
Bruce at literally any age after he got into an argument with Alfred: Now I gotta die so you feel bad for yelling at me and you’ll admit that I’m right.
Nightwing, to his siblings: guyssss killing is like seriously bad :( say no to murder!! We’re vigilantes, not executioners!!
Bruce, vividly remembering the countless times he has had to physically restrain Dick from committing homicide, squinting at him suspiciously: hmmm
Older sibling Canon event
Alfred, stitching up Bruce: and what do we think you perhaps should have done differently, master Bruce?
Bruce, delirious: I think I should have died with my parents
soOO YEAH this whole thing was totally a spur of the moment lol I saw a pic on twitter with a guy in this pose and it was like I got thunderstruck by the gods with the idea
Originally it was supposed to be only the suit ver but oomf hit me with the idea of him wearing the bottom part of starfire’s costume, SO HERE WE ARE
I can safely say it wins my personal contest of fastest art of the year
