have you read wayne family adventures? I think youd rlly like it, with how you described the batfam show
A friend just recently recommended it to me! I've started reading it and it's definitely scratching a little bit of that itch lol
Tim, after having a mental breakdown literally 10 seconds ago: ....wanna hear facts about whales?
Bruce: I don't have a parenting book for this-
i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what
More medieval dyes for y'all!
i always find it weird when people depict the batfam siblings as like perfectly understanding of each other traumas because YES but ALSO as someone with siblings 90% of our relationship is kinda just 'fuck it we ball' and 10% 'lets never talk about this ever' and i love that
The fact that I’ve never seen anyone draw Duke Thomas as a cute baby upsets me greatly
Being on period:
Abdominal cramps because uterus shedding it's lining. Abdominal cramps because constipation because uterus shedding it's lining. Blood sugar always low, no amount of food can fix this. Boobs hurt. Dysphoria increase, need to bind. Boobs hurt more. No energy to do shit, but going outside helps so like...
Anyway I feel like bad. Please gimme a hot water bottle.
I'm still not over the fact that Riz can't afford to go to college.
They were all rich last season & they had to give the money away because of that stupid fucking curse & now Riz can't afford to go to college even though he really fucking wants to.
And yeah, scholarships are still an option but I have a feeling something is going to fuck that up too & I am just so angry at this fictional world for being shitty to my boy who has done nothing but give & help & work himself to the bone because he literally doesn't know how to do anything else...
Sorry this is actually one of the most important Tim Drake moments to me!!! All he wants is to make Bruce proud!! He’s 17 and he just wants his dads approval at the end of the day!! He did his best and he deserves parental affection!!!
after all is said and done—after the Batfamily finds out that Jason is alive, after he and Bruce finally start to adress the joker-shaped elephant in the room, after Tim stops flinching every time Jason enters the room—the thing that hits Jason right in the chest out of the blue is fucking school.
he kicked ass at Gotham Academy. most of his teachers loved him (and the ones that didn't knew better than to try anything with Bruce Wayne's son). he was on track to win a special award for being the top English student in his grade.
sure, some of the kids were snobby and privileged little brats that were all bark and no bite. and sure, the parents somehow managed to be even worse. but did he complain?
not once. he dealt with the external shit (the whispers behind cupped hands or the assholes who "tripped" into him and sent his shit scattering to the floor) the same way he dealt with the internal shit (the imposter syndrome or the fear that one day, Bruce would decide he wasn't good enough): he worked his ass off and proved them wrong.
sure he's deadly with a mask over his face and a weapon in his arms, but give him a pen, a prompt, and sixty minutes on the clock? and he becomes the angel of death himself.
or at least he used to.
he never got to graduate, he suddenly realises. he never got to walk across that stage and receive his diploma. he never got to go to prom or go on the senior trip. he never got to sit any of his english exams (and yeah, he took AP Lang and AP Lit the same year, what about it?).
as Red Hood, he's good at a lot of things (murder and destruction, mostly). but as Jason Todd, school was one of the few things he was actually fucking good at, damn it.
once again, fate's made him into her personal chew-toy. dangling everything he ever wanted right in front of his face, close enough to touch, just to snatch it away again.
Guys, I don't think you understand how badly I want a batfam show. Don't ask me who our big bad is, I don't know. But I wanna see the nuances of their relationships and see them grow closer. I wanna see Tim and Jason working together on a mission to gather info, I wanna see Duke and Cass and Barbara work together to get into a villain safehouse. I want to see Dick being the self sacrificing oldest sibling who basically raised his siblings for the entire time Bruce was lost in time. I want to see Damien get to be a child, I want to see Steph find her place somewhere where she can trust her family. I dunno, I want feels and mystery solving and nuance and AGH.
