I think the boys would also troll each other through this. They would send B memes about each other, knowing he won’t understand and will probably ask the child the video is about, not the one who sent it.

Bruce, wearing reading glasses on the tip of his nose with the cowl pushed half off his head, squinting at his phone: Jason, your brother just sent this to me, but I don’t understand it. Can you explain?

(The video is a TikTok slideshow of pictures of Red Hood looking badass with the Nanalan “who’s that wonderful girl” sound over it, sent by dick)

Jason: are you fucking kidding me? I died for this??

Bruce acts so emo all the time that I just can't help but enjoy the idea(/headcanon, I guess) of him secretly just being an old man dad- Like all of the villains go 'Omg it's Batman we're gonna get beat up' and Commissioner Gordon randomly thinks to himself while working late 'I bet Batman is doing super smart stuff like looking at case files or serving justice rn' but it turns out Bruce is just in the Batcave, very seriously talking to the Bat-Computer about the definition of slang like "Okay 'Puter, define 'Yeet' for me.."

Or he's up at 3AM scrolling through Tim's Tumblr blog looking for ways to connect with his child, but instead becomes mildly concerned when he sees Tim posted a pic five minutes ago of himself at Waffle House (He thought he was in his bedroom-?) with the caption 'Lmao just had a mental breakdown ✌'

Bruce: "So, Damian.. Have you 'rizzed up' any 'level ten gyatts' recently?"

Damian: "Father wtf"

Of course all of the Bat-Kids know this, and try to subtly introduce him to different memes because he always looks so proud of himself when he properly uses slang, he's like 'Heck yeah my kids are gonna think I'm cool'

Whoever decided to turn “never grow up” and other assorted Taylor Swift songs into piano lullabies is a cruel, twisted person. It was a nice way to spice up nap time at daycare at first, when it was just “sparks fly” and “enchanted” and “karma” (of all songs to turn into a lullaby), but being surrounded by sleeping two year olds when the chorus of “never grow up” hits? Instant tears. INSTANT. especially when one of them is literally clutching your hand. FUCK ME.

Listennnnn. LISTENNNNN. I have been on this stupid site since I was 13 and making shitty phonto Taylor Swift backgrounds. I am not leaving this hell site any time soon (I think it’s impossible to leave at this point).

But there is no way IN HELL that I am paying for it. I’m sorry. It’s not even terribly expensive, which I appreciate, but I cannot pay for something that literally shows me ads every three posts. You should be fine.

“But what does Grover bring to the table? He’s just the comedy relief character.” Grover is juggling the role of babysitter, mediator, and emotional manipulator and he cracks jokes too? Give him a BREAK

there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.

luke tells percy that they burn what they’ll miss most so that gods will know that what they’re saying is important so they’re really listen.

but sally burns ice cream. ice cream that she has no attachment to. it’s not even baby percy’s ice cream. it’s just random leftover ice cream that she grabbed from a pile of dirty dishes.

the ice cream could not be more unimportant to sally. in the grand scheme of things, the ice cream is nothing.

but poseidon comes to her anyway. he shows up immediately after probably the most lackluster offering sally could give. he shows up anyway.

just…there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.

And also, I don’t care if I am blatantly wrong (it’s been at least ten years since reading the books) ((OOF)), but if, in the show’s universe, Percy’s smell can be covered up by just sitting in the back of a coach bus, I’d say whoever Sally chose just needed to be a guy with poor hygiene or something, not necessarily a drunkard. Now, I’m fairly certain there was more than just the physical smell of Gabe that was important in the books, but if the only criteria was: SMELLS MORTAL?

Then automatically going with an abusive ass is kind of weird. Like, that’s a BIIIIIIIIG jump. It’s not NYC, but I’ve walked through Toronto quite a few times in my life and there have been MANY people that could very easily fall into that category, you know?

I’ve seen a lot of people complain about how Gabe isn’t as bad as in the books, which valid complaint to have, but also. They had some good reasons for changing it.

You can get away with a LOT more in books than you can with visual media, because whatever you read is limited to the reader’s imagination. That’s why some notably violent kid’s books (Warrior Cats, Watership Down, etc) are still considered kid’s books. A child can still be terrified by those books, but ultimately they can only be as afraid as they are imaginative, and as long as the child is old enough to understand that fiction can’t physically hurt them, it’s fine.

But with visual media, you are only allowed that imagination if something happens offscreen. There’s a big difference between violence in words and violence visually. This is ESPECIALLY applicable to live action media, if the show came out as a cartoon then that might be a slightly different story.

Abuse isn’t fictional, they aren’t going to be as lenient with it as they might be with fantasy violence. Reading abuse isn’t as tense as actually seeing it on screen. So while Gabe’s portrayal in the book might be touching for kids with bad home lives, to have that same portrayal in the show could be potentially very triggering and scary. Remember, this is a show intended for kids.

Also, Disney can get very pissy over violence (especially violence based in reality). Most parents don’t want their kids to see realistic abuse, and if they complained enough about it, it could be a problem. Disney doesn’t like taking risks. If the show got too real, there’s a chance Disney won’t greenlight another season.

Does sanitizing Gabe’s abuse alter Percy’s and Sally’s characters, and create a mess for the Medusa plotline? Yes. Am I happy about it? No. But ultimately, I think it was one of the better options.

Don’t quote me on this, but I have four tiny scars and a brief conversation about it with a nurse so it COULD be true…

I’m fairly certain I was hooked up to some kind of medieval torture device turned medical to get my spine straight. 🙃

It’s a damn shame too, I actually really enjoyed some of your other works

A fun tip about me, if you’re purposely obtuse in my fic comments I’m not above going “okay” and deleting the fic
