Shannon Leaving Eddie A Note Because She Cannot Be What Christopher Needs -> Eddie Leaving Buck A Note

You know what really gets me ? The fact that Bruce might be one of the only people who's ever seen Clark bleed up close, and Clark one of the few who's ever seen Bruce cry. They’re both symbols of strength but when they break, it’s the other who's there. And, in both cases, they can only hold each other tight.

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—

dick and jason being antagonistic siblings. no more soft shit let them punch each other at 7am bcs jason ate the last of dicks cereal. dick loses a tooth and they’re banished to opposite sides of the house until they agree to apologise to each other. they’re not allowed to sit next to each other on the couch/during meetings bcs they always end up trying to shove each other off their seats. one time jason came all the way to the manor, walked in, shot dick in the face with a water pistol, and then went back home to crime alley without saying a word. the first time red hood was asked to join the jla for a briefing on the watchtower nightwing ended up sumo-slamming him into the table and the entire jl were so freaked out by the uncharacteristic crash out that they thought nightwing was compromised by mind control, only for batman to tiredly inform them that it was because red hood had just messaged nightwing in the family groupchat that he ‘looked like a little bitch with that new haircut’.

theyre assholes with a baffling childhood bond let them act like it

Hi! Can you please do a headcannon where the bat family reacts to the tv show arcane like you did with atla please I think it would be so cool!!!!

YES

Batfam reacting to Arcane Headcanons!

- tim heard about it through the bisexual grapevine and brought it up during family movie night

- everyone agreed simply because they love animated shows

- season 1 & 2 were both out so they started friday and watched all through saturday (bruce had to call the superfam in to watch over gotham lol)

- immediately everyone had a favorite character

- jason thought it was stupid until he saw vi being a total badass and thought "she's chill as fuck i like it"

- damian didn't really have a favorite until he saw ekko. he'll deny it but he shed real tears during the ekko/powder scenes

- dick thought mel was a baddie but secretly loved heimerdinger - he just thought the lil guy was so cute but also so knowledgeable during the second season. he couldn't help but feel the ekko/heimerdinger moments were him and damian to a T

- steph can't help that she loves chaos, so every time jinx went ballistic steph was there cheering her on. she also knows what it's like to be just a girl looking for a father figure

- tim... oh sweet tim... infatuated. obsessed. in too deep. for jayce. can he admit he was roleplaying as victor during the whole show? is it wrong if he just wants a genius hunk next to him in a brilliant workshop?

- tim was desperately texting conner pictures of victor and jayce explaining they had to do a cosplay

- conner agreed

- the ending battles were really brutal for the family to endure, huge debates with steph on jinx's side, tim promising himself victor isn't as bad as he looks, and overall everyone being a little sick of caitlyn up until the vi/cait scene

- steph loudly pronouncing all lesbians the hottest in the show

- damian was too busy thinking of how he could go about forcing star labs to produce an air board for him like ekko had

- everyone felt bad for vander, with bruce tearing up a little at the idea of doing everything for your family even as you feel yourself turning into a monster

- jason felt it too.

- dick was just wondering if he should switch to a giant hammer but decided it might slow him down

- the credits roll and everyone instantly needed to know if there would be a season 3, and there was uproar when they discovered the story was over

- everyone was trying to do victors silly accent for the next few weeks and steph dyed her hair blue in solidarity

- jason started hanging around gay bars looking for a buff butch best friend to no avail

- needless to say everyone loved it, and a few league of legends players were born that weekend, i'll leave it up to you to figure out who would main who!

hope u enjoyed!

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

Bruce: I need everyone to be quiet for five minutes. Just five minutes of silence.

30 seconds later

Dick: whispers Do you think he's mad?

Tim: whispers back Probably.

Jason: loudly I'm not afraid of him.

Damian: scoffs You should be.

Bruce: That wasn't even ONE MINUTE.

heres to hoping bobby’s alive i coped rly hard and made buddie photocards

Clark has a memory etched into his mind of Bruce with his smudged black eyeshadow and big blue eyes and sweaty damp hair after patrol (a state he's only ever seen him in twice) and ever since the cowl got the upgrade with the blank white lenses (five years ago) he's been mourning the loss of that post mission look and silently seething, praying for the eyeliner to make a comeback.

At no point in this has he considered his feelings for Bruce might be a bit more than platonic

There is such a stark difference between a characters actual characterization and the writers just being shitty guys
