As A Cis-passing Guy I Dared To Ask The Question "how Femme Can I Be Be Before My Coworkers Get Uncomfortable"

You know those posts about one of Bruce’s kids getting kidnapped and him having no idea which kid they have based on the vague descriptions he’s given? Well now I can’t only imagine Bruce getting the dreaded call and immediately pulling out a guess who board filled entirely with his kids. Like

kidnapper: we have one of your children

Bruce: I have so many of those you need to be more specific

kidnapper: the loud and annoying one

Bruce, flipping down Cass and Duke: that does not help as much as you think it does

kidnapper: well he has black hair?

Bruce, flips down Steph: keep going

kidnapper: uhhhh? He’s short?

Bruce, flips down Dick and Jason leaving Tim and Damian: more specific

kidnapper: he’s been condescending and judgmental since we got him

Bruce: yeah they both tend to do that

kidnapper: he keeps throwing around words I don’t understand

Bruce, realizing that Damian and Tim are significantly more similar than he thought: uhh more specific?

kidnapper: more?? look just wore us the mon— WHERE’D HE HIDE A KATANA???

Bruce: ah you have Damian

eddie should have grabbed buck by the throat

people really seem to ignore that eddie in fact did realize that he mayhaps was a bit harsh there (not saying he didn’t have a point but yeah)

he called himself mean and a dick and brought the biggest peace offering he possibly could, chris, who buck hadn’t seen in over a year

eddie put his own concerns about disturbing chris‘ life again away for buck to have a bit of happiness as his form of applogizing

and not just that he brought pepa too, a homecooked meal, a family

both buck and eddie need to learn to communicate better with words but in the context of that episode and the general el paso storyline it was the most beautiful olive branch and way of making up

Bruce: your disguise is a pair of glasses?

Clark: yours is being stupid?

Whoops, I think I got the wrong Grayson

The one where the team realizes Robin is in fact a real boy

For some reason, the other members of the young justice team never seem to realize that Robin actually has a life outside the vigilante gig. He mostly only ever talks about training in the batcave, new gadgets he’s working on, complaining about Gotham rogues. They sort of forget that there’s a real kid behind the mask.

So it’s kind of like a bucket of water being dumped over their heads when they witness him actually acting like a normal kid.

“You have a test tomorrow,” they hear Batman say, followed immediately by a groan from Robin. “It’s time to go home.”

“Ten more minutes!”

“Not ten more minutes,” Batman says. “Now. Dinner, study, then bed.”

“Can’t I just skip tomorrow?”

“Absolutely not. School is important.”

“Says the drop out.”

“That’s not the same and you know it!” Batman says quickly. “Keep stalling, and your PlayStation gets locked up all weekend.”

“Fine,” Robin whines, stomping towards the zeta tubes.

And the entire Mount Justice is quiet after they leave, the team not quite sure what they just saw.

“Wait,” Wally stutters, his fingers pointing between where Robin and Batman just were and the zeta tubes they disappeared into. “Does that mean - Robin goes to school?”

“I assumed he was like, homeschooled. Or, like,” Artemis stumbles over the words, not quite sure how to explain her thoughts.

“I thought he was a ninja or something,” Conner says.

Kaldur just sort of shakes his head at all of them. He’s apparently the only one who didn’t think their youngest team member was some sort of robot or cryptid. Maybe because the first time he met Robin, he’d been whining to Batman about how his weeknight crime fighting curfew should be extended to 3am, and Batman actually laughed and told him “nice try, but no way.”

Of all the important lessons learned from ghosts, importance of family, acceptance, love, bla bla, people seem to have forgotten the most important message of the show;

Wear a fantastic outfit and serve every single day because these might be the clothes you die in.

he gave Buck a family meal :( in an episode where Buck started it off mourning the loss of family meals :( they love each other so, so much. Eddie doesn’t even KNOW that was a particular point of hurt for Buck :( he just intuited it with their soulmate, brain connection.

buck goes to athena sometime after the funeral, once he's finally realized his feelings. he talks to her about how he feels somewhat guilty, because he'll never really know if bobby ever approved of eddie, and tommy was really the only partner he ever had that bobby approved of. and athena laughs, before going into another room and giving him a sealed envelope dated like.. two months after eddie started working in the 118 with paperwork for filing a relationship, the only blank spaces being the signature and the date. she tells him that bobby had always wanted to slip them into their lockers the day after he found out.
