The Batfam definitely has a group chat called "Official Mission Communications ONLY" that Bruce created with the strictest instructions about its purpose.
It lasted exactly 12 hours before Dick sent a meme.
Now it's just chaos, but Bruce never leaves because secretly it's how he keeps tabs on everyone.
Every few weeks he'll respond to 74 messages of nonsense with a single "Focus." and everyone behaves for approximately 5 minutes.
The real mission communications happen in individual texts directly to Bruce, who feels a tiny spark of relief each time his phone pings with "OFFICIAL MISSION CHAT (217 unread messages)" because it means they're all still alive enough to be annoying.
Occasionally in the middle of arguments about cereal rankings and who stole whose equipment, Bruce will just type "Status?" and everyone immediately responds with their location and condition. No one ever comments on this ritual, but everyone participates without fail.
Even Jason, who once replied "bleeding out in an alley but the cereal argument is worth it" which resulted in five vigilantes converging on his location in under three minutes.
The most treasured screenshot in Tim's blackmail folder is from the one time Bruce accidentally sent "proud of you all" at 3:42 AM after a particularly rough night. No one has ever mentioned it directly, but Damian has it printed and hidden in his sketchbook.
if bobby is dead then this is actually rlly rude
has anyone written a fanfic of supernatural and white collar crossover with Crowley as Curtis Hagen? i feel like it would go hard as one of Crowley’s side quests. he would totally pull some dumb shit like that
they should invent a supernatural where they're normal and like feel happy and have a good time and no one is mean to cas
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.
More thoughts on Clark fantasizing about sweaty Bruce "in a friend way":
The reason this lasts so long is coz every time Clark considers that maybe this behaviour isn't normal, he looks over at Bruce who's doing the exact same thing and thinks "nah, this is how friends act, totally bros"
He's memorising his heartbeat and scent? Bruce has already studied every inch of his body in great detail multiple times
He's interested in learning more about Bruce's parents and childhood? Bruce has been learning to speak kryptonian and studying the culture for years now
He treats the bat kids like his own kids? Bruce literally buys the bank his parents owe money to so they can keep the farm
He stares at the man's scars for a bit too long in the changing rooms? Bruce just full on looks him in the eye while he strips down then continues on like nothing happened
This man has not only matched his freak, he's doubled it and put a batsymbol on it
they locked in and had a consensual workplace relationship
"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."
Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?
btw if this is actually dobby for real and forever then I'm beyond pissed that we didn't get an open casket everyone can go say their goodbyes scene. I know I know contagious yadayada who fucking cares. either handwave it or murk him on a different emergency. ffs
