Dick: uuuuhhhh we’re pageant parents

Teacher: Mr. Grayson, we wouldve liked to have been informed that your daughter was an alien before she enrolled.

Dick: yes, she’s very advanced for her age

At the Watchtower

Kon: So then ma says "well you're not coming back into this house until you've caught every single one of them pigs"-

Tim: [clutching his coffee-mug and listening intently] without powers?

Tim: [nodding enthusiastically while Kon continues his story]

Clark: [looks on from a distance]

Bruce: What the hell?

Clark: You're such a bad friend!

Bruce: You want me to be like Tim?

Clark: Or Damian!

-a week later-

Wonder Woman: Are Batman and Superman having a fight?

Flash: yeah I think so. I don't know what about though

Martian Mindhunter: I believe Batman insulted Superman's cow

Wonder Woman: I see.

Black Canary: Sometimes I wake up at night and think about the fact that they are two of the most important members of an organization that protects the world from certain annihilation and then I can't go back to sleep

Green Lantern: [feet propped on the table, throwing almonds into the air and trying to catch them in his mouth] yeah it freaks me out too

Black Canary: [glances at Green Lantern] never leave us, Diana.

Hi there, as a Jew (who LOVES Les Mis) I thought I should add in to this discussion. Regarding the statement that Grantaire being Jewish is harmful, in all honestly you’re over thinking it, trust me. Most of the time whenever I see things relating to Grantaire being ugly it is usually him calling himself that, which for me (& a lot others) is a common way of looking at myself. Because of Conventional European Standards of Beauty Jews are not seen as conventionally attractive, which shows its effects in me whenever I look in the mirror. I end up suffering from derealization & all I can see is everything I am told not to be. Also Grantaire’s numbness to social justice is another thing a lot of Jews suffer from, due to the fact that no matter which side of the political spectrum you go on either way people still hate us. On the far right its just n@z!s & on the far left its just a bunch of people blaming us for the Israeli & Palestinian conflict. Not to mention the fact that there has literally been almost no progress made in ending anti-Semitism it just ends up going back to how it was after a few years. A lot of us don’t really feel safe on either side because both of the radicals hate us. However even though we haven’t been getting much (sometimes if any) help with our fight for equality we are still going to help others. A lot of Grantaire’s struggles do reflect a lot of struggles a good amount of Jews have to go through has well. For me the hc of Grantaire being Jewish is very important to me. Considering the best representation we have (that I can think of off the top of my head) is Puckerman from Glee, oh god plz let us have Grantaire lol. Also regarding the nose thing, the more we normalize different noses the less likely a lot of Jews are to feel insecure about, but the making his nose cartoonishly abnormal is a lil problematic. However I do think we should normalize “uglier” traits outside of race/ethnic stereotypes, I just don't think it should start with Grantaire. 

Jewish Grantaire really gets me. I say we should have ugly Grantaire!!! I'm an ugly person! I don't think that's a bad word, it's of my personal opinion we shod destigmatize it, not attach morals to it, but that's my own rant. BUT. Having the ugly canon character be fat and Jewish? Why are you thinking of those traits as ugly?

GOD anon i have,,,,,, so many thinks and thots about “ugliness”??? I’m torn between LET CHARACTERS BE UGLY and THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS UGLY, ONLY NOT MEETING CONVENTIONAL STANDARDS OF EUROPEAN BEAUTY!! (Also, pop OFF abt that ugliness =/= morals rant, if you ever flesh it out send it MY WAY)

But until we can de-colonize the beauty industry, YEAH. UGLY RIGHTS. I’m ugly! It be like that! It’s not a bad thing! But It’s when we do things like equate ugliness to racial/ethnic/cultural stereotypes (for example, by equating characters described as ugly as Black, or Jewish, or any marginalized race/ethnicity) is when shit gets real harmful. Like you said, anon, “Why are you thinking of those traits as ugly?”

(Also, WOW, I have not taken the time to fully consider the harmful stereotypes of Jewish Grantaire. R’s thing with his nose, Fat R - not inherently ugly things in the slightest! great things to represent! But we have to ask ourselves why we don’t represent those things outside of the races/ethnicities they’re stereotypically linked with. ) 

“you’re home.”

if I don't get this I'm rioting

I do not want ExR domestic fluff. I want chaotic ExR. The kind of ExR where they go on a date and they get kicked out because they won’t stop fighting about another client’s watch brand. Where they can’t have a private conversation in public because their friends will tease them to death. Where Enjolras literally vomited after kissing Grantaire because he had bad breath. But they also can’t have sex because Grantaire won’t stop talking about niche topics. Where Grantaire painted a portrait of Enjolras and when he showed it to him, Enjolras straight up said “I look like Jesus. Burn it.” And where they give each other awful anniversary and birthday presents like razors or bicycle helmets.

enjoltaire, but coquette.

Batfamily Christmas

Jason: “Merry Christmas to my homies, and happy Hanukka to my Shalom-ies!”

Secret Santa is banned after that one year where Damian rigged it so everyone got his name

The whole family spends Christmas Eve serving soup at the local soup kitchen

Bruce dresses up as Santa and delivers presents to all the orphanages. Somehow Jason, Dick, Tim, Damian, Duke, Cass and Steph get roped into being his elf helpers. “Does my butt look big in these green tights?” “Dick your butt looks big in everything”.

Various festive themed witty one-liners whilst patrolling. Batman: *Bursting through a glass ceiling menacingly* Have you been naughty or nice? Jason: *Singing* Santa baaaby  🎶 slip a drug lord under the tree for mee  🎶 🎶 Been an awful good guy 🎶 Saaanta BABY!!  🎶 🎶 Steph: *Beating up a criminal with a giant candy cane* TASTE MY MINTY JUSTICE!! 

Christmas hats for all the pets!! 

Dick, after eating all the Christmas cookies: My mouth tastes of Christmas and regret

Arguments over who carves the turkey. No, Jason, a chainsaw is not a legitimate carving tool, neither is a sword, Damian. 

Brussel sprout fight!!! Bruce: What else are they meant to do with them Alfred?!? Eat them?!!?

Building Snowmen and having a giant snowball fight!!

Tim fills Damian’s stocking with coal 

The kids get Bruce a graphic t-shirt with the Batsymbol and the words #BATDAD. He loves it.

Pulling Christmas crackers and telling the really bad jokes from inside. The first one who laughs has to do the dishes. Unsurprisingly it’s Dick who looses.

Drunken carols around the piano. Bruce is playing the piano. Stephanie, Cass, and Barbara are the best singers, the rest sound like strangled cats. 

Barbara spiked the eggnog and now Duke is crying because the snowmen are outside in the cold all alone

Eggnog prt 2: Duke tried to bring a snowman into the manor but it started melting so now he’s guilty of SNOWMAN-SLAUGHTER!!!

Alfred knitted everyone scarves, hats, and gloves personalized with their initials.

jason having scratches on his back from reader and batfam noticing it and teases him about it

then the next time they see reader, theyre like "you should cut your nails" jokingly

I want him. So bad.

The night before he went to train with his family, Jason had fucked you against a wall. Not his brightest idea, but it’s not his fault! You were teasing him and he just had to fuck you! You were wearing his favorite lingerie! He couldn’t help himself. What was he supposed to do? Tell you no? Absolutely not.

In his defense, he didn’t realize you scratched his back so deep.

His family is a family of detectives, so it didn’t take them long to spot the deep red lines trailing down his back. It also didn’t help that he immediately took his shirt off to train. Dick tries to tell him gently, but Steph interrupts, “you look like you got mauled by a bear.”

Jason goes beat red. He tries to look over his shoulder and ends up spinning, looking like a dog chasing its tail. “Oh shit.” Dick tries to get Jason to stop by patting his back, but Jason ends up doubled over. “OW. FUCK. DICKHEAD.”

“Sorry, Jay!”

Tim starts laughing. “How the fuck did you not notice?”

Jason gets even more red. “I was preoccupied!”

Now everyone’s laughing at him.

Everyone goes silent when you open the door. “Jay, you left your work tablet at home. Hey-”

“Hey, Wolverine.” Duke starts snickering. You raise an eyebrow and look at Jason. He hangs his head and slowly turns around. You see his back and say nothing, just blinking. You turn and walk out the door. Fuck that.
