about Brad Wayne, @glumshoe ‘s super funny lighthearted OC - I obviously had to make something sad…I just had to…enjoy :-)

…

„Like man you won’t believe!“

„Brad, dude, it’s like 4 am, why are you callin’ me??“

„Like, I was staying up, trying to figure out if, this place is like, haunted…and I swear it is! I heard voices and I swear, the clock moved!! The whole clock! I’m like freaking out man!!“

„Dude I told you, if something weird could be happening in Gotham, it will! It’s a manor as well, I bet it’s built on like some ancient burial ground and you got some maaad natives going after you now!“

„I think it was my grandparents actually…“

„Come again?“

„Haven’t you heard? The Wayne murder?“

„Nope…what murder?“

„My, ehm dad’s, parents got like shot when he was a kid…“

„Oh, that’s why he adopted so many I bet.“

„What?“

„Yeah, like, he never had a family of his own, so now he got like all the kids. But without parents, he never had an example of like a healthy relationship - that’s why he’s still single tho…but wanted a family, hence the kids.“

„…“

„Then…why didn’t he want me?“

„Dude…he didn’t know about you.“

„But even now, he doesn’t seem really all that happy about me. And neither do the others. My new little brother actually hates me.“

„I bet it’s not like that dude. Your’s just not used to having a big family, that’s all - it be like that s-„

„I’m not used to having a family at all is the thing. I don’t know what I was thinking. Coming here, already an adult, hoping that everyone would welcome me like the son or brother they’d always wanted. And I try so much as well!! The other day I made everyone scrambled eggs for breakfast. How was I supposed to know one of them is vegan! And they all looked at me like…“you don’t belong here”…and they are right. I should go…“

„You sure about it dude?“

„Yeah. It’s Monday, so I’ll tell them I gotta go home Sunday. Have one last week, say goodbye…“

„We do miss ya dude.“

„…Thanks.“

„No biggie. Oh, and about the ghots, my grandma swears on rosaries, so you might wanna get yourself one.“

„Thanks man.“

„Good night Brad.“

„Good night man.“

I'm pretty sure the Brad Wayne post has broken me.

Here I am, two days later, trying to work when BAM Brad is back in my head.

All I can think about how from Brad's ordinary perspective most of his family is a bunch of FAILURES.

His eldest brother is a college drop out who does a bunch of odd blue-collar jobs, so Brad tries to encourage him to "give college a try, you can DO it" and brings around study materials and stuff. And Dick -trained by Batman- Grayson is absolutely gnashing his teeth.

To make it worse, as far as Brad knows, Jason, Tim and Cass are ALL highschool dropouts. So Brad feels like he's a genius in their midst, he's kinda condescendingly encouraging towards them.

And the absolute gem is he treats Damian as an actual grade schooler. And Damian has been charged with keeping the cover intact so he has to pretend to be a CHILD around Brad. It drives Damian crazy. Since Brad came to the manor, Damian no longer claims he's superior to the other batkids due to his "blood", because his blood has related him to the embarassment that is Brad and he'd much rather have his adopted sibs only, thank you very much. Damian has become much more appreciative of his batsiblings.

[hoppe-ideas]

Okay but @glumshoe Brad Wayne is like the best ever! Can you imagine? Just a normal kid who doesn't even know that his dad is Batman or that ANY of his adopted siblings are the Bat-fam? And I honestly don't even think he would be shocked or impressed if he were to find out. I mean sure he would slightly be amazed but I think it would be something like:

Brad: Oh wow! That's so cool! Don't worry I won't tell anyone!

Bruce: Do you want to be a member?

Brad: hmmmmm, no thanks.

Everyone else: WHAT?!?!

Brad: Yeah sorry, it sounds cool and all, but I'm just a normal guy. I don't have a tragic back story or come from like the circus or an assassin's family or something. I mean I'm sure I can help here at the cave but I don't feel like going out with you guys. Sorry *goes eats chips*

Everyone:....

Jason: ITS THAT EASY?!?!

Bruce: huh...

[hoppe-ideas]

BRAD FUCKIN WAYNEEE

headcannons i have abt this sweet himbo fratboy

This man is the largest in the family, like 6’6 and built like a non-green hulk. He can easily pick up and fireman carry Bruce and Jason

Is the guy in a frat party to sit with girls and hear about them bitch about periods and now carries a little pack with him everywhere that has a few tampons, pads, hand-warmers (for on the go heating pads), and Tylenol and Advil

Where does he keep this stuff and the random assortment of weird things he has, you ask? He wears a fanny-pack

read it and weep y’all he wears fanny-packs, usually the cool way over his shoulder, but mostly around his waist since he carries a backpack almost 25/8

He drives a beater truck (just an old car whose been through like three accidents and is still going strong) specifically a 1991 dodge D250 truck with a scratched up white paint job where there are dents, scratches, and a few patches of off white paint on dents that was sorta DIY-ed

his keys 🔑 have a weird ass mesh of keychains on it like: Ally flag keychain and a flag keychain for every single label a person has come out to him with, also a keychain from every museum, tourist spot he’s ever been, also a beer and bottle opener he’s a frat boy duhhh, he has a little bracelet that is made of sparkles and purple beads that steph gave to him but it was too small so he put it on his keys, a collage logo keychain, a keychain from his local gym and one with rugby on it etc

the keychains and keys are never ending

HE PLAYS RUGBY, argue with the wall.

getting a bachelors and masters in sports medicine

he makes sure to give Duke, Damian, Cass, Steph, and Tim copies of his keys first (the rest of the fam too they just get priority)

A) because they are the kids, and he wants them to know that he has an open bed any time

B) cause he’s the sibling to not get mad if they are intoxicated in any form and will cover for them

This next one is so important to me

He takes Tim to his first midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, same with Damian

He pretty much eats at the Wayne mansion every night but sleeps at his apartment

Shows Damian some good rock’n roll ex Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Ramones, The Clash, Oingo Boingo, Ghost, Blonde, Foo-Fighters (i can make a playlist if wanted)

Just will sit and have a beer with Jason and sit in silence or talk about weird things that happened today

Steph and him have study sessions together

He will watch any ballet practice Cass wants him to see and he never misses a competition or performance

he sends Tim stupid skateboard tricks and fails videos (tiktok or insta reels) daily and then once a month they take Brad’s truck to a park and Brad sits on a ramp and cheers Tim on like its the Super Bowl

Watches Dick’s dog when he’s away from home and they both watch Barbie movies together

He gardens at Alfred’s request, yes he sucks but this man cannot not say no to the tidbits of Alfred’s life story he learns

Can kick back like 4 kegs of beer with no fucking consequences, he has a liver of steel thanks to Brucie Wayne

He’a the high guy in the bathtub at frat-parties and will give shitty or good life advice its 50/50 honestly

Does stupid white people fraternity things that would kill a normal person but he just is quirkily busting it down and Death just cannot vibe with him

makes (and i cannot stress this enough) the best and i mean best, (Alfred and Ma Kent can’t win in this one) brownies. Whether they are edibles or not they are the best.

has done the Tide-Pod challenge and survived

He is the Frat God of Gotham

Him and Duke are like the best duo

They blast Rock and Rap so that all five cars in every direction can hear it

Duke has the habit of putting weird ass bumper stickers on Brad’s desk and bed frame (at his apartment, they Do Not fuck with Alfred) Brad smiles fondly every time he finds a new one

Brad = Mark, ya know the tiktok sound

Him and Harper simp over women 🙏 together

In his fanny-pack, truck, and various rooms he has stim toys/do-hickeys bins or sections

bc he has Nerodivergent siblings and he was just trying

he asked kinda rude blunt questions, he didn’t know anything and he kinda (really) sucks at subtlety and reading a room but he was just trying to understand

He will take Damian to amusement parks and zoos pretty much bi-weekly

The girls can put on a horrible outfit and makeup and he will think he looks fabulous and no one will ever tell him that he’s sporting fashion and makeup crimes

has a small hidden bookcase of Wings of Fire, Warrior cats, Land of Stories, etc.. cause Damian is embarrassed to admit he actually likes reading them

Watches the trashiest brain rotting tv shows like Dance moms or keeping up with the Kardashians

Goes to any march or parade his siblings or friends are going to so: A) he can be that decked out ally tank of a man passing out water bottles and granola bars B) so if the police are back on their BS he can protecc atacc and throw that tear gas bacc

*Sniff 🤧* I have something I need all of you to know, I say this with a heavy heart *holding back tears 😥* Brad is a former highlighter kid— *single tear falls*

This fucking himbo stud-muffin has slept with, kissed, crushed on, and went on dates with men, but still doesn’t realize that he’s Bisexual

his favorite flavor ice cream is pistachio and carmel

KNOWS NOTHING and i mean nothing about zodiac signs

Has been caught in the middle of Gotham Rouge and does not understand what the fuck is happening

He either Teddy Bear fratboy golden retriever energies them to friendship or friendly acquaintance or annoys them to the high hells of mosquito bites on your butt

^I can expand if wanted

His phone you ask?

Screen cracked like rice crispys

apps more disorganized than the random shit drawer in someone’s house

he has a model 6S and will not upgrade or replace it to save his life.

he has an otterbox case and we all know it, no more denial

Okay thats my time yall see ya

[hoppe-ideas]

Concept: Brad Wayne but he (accidentally) becomes a vigilante

Okay, I bet we’ve all realized by now that all of Bruce’s kids—with or without his own intervention—pick up the mantle of helping people at some point in their lives. Dick would’ve fought his parents’ killer with or without Bruce, Jason would’ve helped those in poverty and awful situations no matter what, Tim is batshit and was stalking Batman when he was a child, Steph was spoiler before meeting him, Cass was orphan when they met, etc.

I’m also sure there are enough stories out there irl of helpful himbos for a children’s movie to be made, but picture the two worlds colliding

- Brad is a sweet—albeit very stupid—guy who draws conclusions for things that are incorrect but well intentioned

- He’s a total frat bro, meaning he either lives in or near a fraternity and therefore near a sorority. In Gotham.

- One night he tries to get wasted but his liver is just genetically built different (thanks Bruce) so it fails and he ends up being the emotional backbone of this group of ACTUALLY wasted sorority girls who start complaining or crying about the experiences they’ve had as young women in Gotham

- He’s like “wait that’s actually so fucked . I’m going to walk you guys home so you don’t have to go through that . What if the scarecrow gropes you or something idk that guy what if he’s freaky like that” and thus he becomes their chaperone

- Soon he realizes that these girls have boyfriends (uh oh!) and he doesnt want them getting the wrong idea…so he befriends all their boyfriends and starts walking their boyfriends home too cause the city isn’t safe for anyone

- He very quickly realizes he is Suspicious and some guys just don’t want their girls walking home with some dude (as if they can’t do it themselves, Gotham guys suck) and decides to disguise himself as that’s the most logical conclusion to him

- We know where this goes.

- Soon he’s out after a night of not being able to get drunk and walking some people home when he comes across a crime and very smartly goes, “hey wait, that’s illegal! I’m gonna flip your shit!” And then he does because he’s built like a tank and can do like 4 keg stands without passing out

- Pretty soon, Brad Wayne is a vigilante. No, he does not become any smarter, and no that does not stop him.

Brad: Parties in Gotham are on a different level, dude. I must have missed it on the invitation but one of the parties I went to was gas masked themed. Everyone was like super committed to the theme and kept giving me weird looks when they saw I hadn't brought one.

Dick: Was it back in January, when Scarecrow escaped?

Brad: Um, now that you mentioned it, yeah.

Jason: Then it wasn't a theme. The news read off one of Crane's gas threats. Smart that they all brought their gas masks. Dumb as shit that they still went out.

Brad: Are you joshing me right now?

Jason: No. Why didn't you bring your gas mask? Didn't you get the alert on your phone?

Brad: Yeah. I thought they were joking. Like early April fools?

Dick: In January?!

Brad: Shut up.

Brad Wayne vs….. Gotham Rogues!!!!

We must preface this by saying Brad Wayne has only ever rolled either nat20s or nat1s in charisma, 80% for nat 20s and the other 20% being nat 1s.

The Riddler to no surprise hates him, Brad doesn’t even care, he still is waiting for the Riddler to tell him the answer like it’s a joke. He infamously was on live tv with Riddler holding him hostage, the catch?

He was just let go, like he himbo’s himself outta there. So the thing is Brad Wayne doesn’t even realize that he gets kidnapped or held hostage, and it drives the rogues nuts™️. Because it’s hit or miss as to whether he plays into their gimmick, on this occasion he missed by a mile.

So the Riddler doin his thing, giving riddles and was pulling out a long-ass riddle for the live broadcast. But Brad just keeps interrupting his riddle.

“Bro a ghast can’t walk backwards man???”

and

“DUDE, that reminds me of a my bro from this party, that tried to do a flip-”

Best part you ask? Batman, Robin, and Nightwing are in the background of the cast as it happens. The Riddler loses the hat, he just is pissed 😤

He’s all like: “SHuT uP! Just be a normal fucking *mic peak* hostaaaagggeeeeee!”

Brad is so fucking confused like, why was this dude losing his ball sack???

Brad Wayne headcanon

Brad is absolutely a himbo. He just oozes classic jock, frat boy energy. But he's not a moron.

Turns out that, despite not actually knowing he was a Wayne until fairly recently, he's in medical school to become a surgeon, unknowingly following in grandpa Thomas's footsteps. He's actually fairly brilliant. It's just that he's also a a bit of a naive, yet well meaning doofus. Picture Todd from Scrubs, yet less of a manwhore.

AU version of Brad Wayne.

Notice I don't say not a manwhore at all. He's still Bruce's son.

Danny is going to Gotham high which yay for him!

Problem? Right now he's in the office because he may have punched someone while defending damian and now everyone is waiting for his guardian

But clockwork can't come (humans perceive him a bit...well he just can't) and jazz has an important exam

So who's next in line?

Fright Knight! (Okay, technically he's not the Guardian OF Danny but more guarding Danny but details details)

So Fright Knight appears in all of his villain-esque glory and foaming sword

And everyone kinda freaks out because?? Danny, is your guardian a villain? What do you mean 'depends'?? What does the shrugging mean?? No we can't go back to the punch thing-

DP x DC: Wait... this isn’t a gay bar??

I was just thinking about Danny as a bartender at a rogues bar and then it struck me…

Danny thinks he works at a gay bar

Why? Well, have you looked at the clients? Bisexual queen Harley Quinn, lesbian icon Poison Ivy, Two Face is clearly bi(two)sexual and has a thing with Bruce Wayne, Scarecrow is probably ace or maybe aro, Riddler is at the very least homo romantic, hell, even if Red hood comes by he’s bi/pan AND poly

What I’m saying is, based off the clientele, Danny would think he works at a gay bar 

and based on the evidence they have a hard time disagreeing with him

Danny was just relaxing doing his homework on the moon. (It was quiet and had minimal distractions. Perfect for studying). He didn’t expect to see anyone during his studying but after seeing movement out of the corner of his eye he went to check it out. To his surprise: Superman was just sitting on the moon looking down at earth. Chilling.

Dc x dp idea 98

John and JLD are up against a threat from the infinite realm. When the being goes to declare their plans to destroy the planet. The being suddenly comes to a halt.

Apparently there is a single ecto entity that has a haunt on this planet. So they can’t flat out destroy the planet, that would just be rude.

Upon an investigation. As they are definitely gonna scout out who the ecto entity is at the minimum. They find none other the Cujo.

Seeing as it’s quite common for ecto animals to claim an ecto being in the realm as their “haunt”. The JLD assume Cujo, who is asleep on Danny, claimed Danny as his.

[hoppe-ideas]

Dc x dp idea 95

Danny wasn’t thrilled with the whole ghost king bs. So he just doesn’t do it. The realm was just fine without pariah. Someone else can deal with the paperwork.

The biggest problem tho. The summonings.

No one will teach him how to say no to them. All wanting him to do his duty. He is barely passing his human classes. He refuses king lessons. He’ll take the summons over kingly duties.

Besides. Jazz has a solution.

At all times he is awake, thankfully summons don’t happen when he is asleep. A friend or Jazz is with him.

Armed with the Fenton anti-creep stick or another weapon. Ready to step over the summons circle smack down the cultist here and there and break the summoning circle. Then Danny just opens a portal and they dip.

John on the other hand is more stressed then normal. For some reason the new ghost king is letting any body summon him. Hell. They got reports that a slumber party summoned him.

Rather then ignore the summons. The new king has one of three teenagers deal with the problem. A goth armed with a wrist laser and brass knuckles, a guy with apparently a pda, and then the orange haired one with a flipping bat.

Now he had to summon the king and figure out what’s up.

[hoppe-ideas]

No Longer In Service

Okay

Okay

hear me out

Ghost King Danny Summoning!

The heroes fail to stop it, everyone is panicking, they feel like they’ve truly failed to stop it. etc etc

EVERYONE is ready to fight for their final life.

They’re as ready as they can be to go against something so evil JLD are scared of it.

SO when the dome that was sealing them away from the summoner finally shatters they are expecting some huge eldritch being, something made of pure nightmares… Only…

Only to find an old tape recorder in the middle of the summoning circle…

Everything is dead silent. No one moves…

Then it clicks on and makes a loud noise.

The noise?

It was the no longer in service beep.

“We’re, not, sorry.” a teenage voice began after the beep ended, startling everyone as they weren’t expecting this at all “But the Ghost King you are trying to reach is no longer in service or rather King anymore. Thus any big evil world ending plans you have made will not be approved during my reign. Please, get a life and try to actually live it because I will not be ending anyone’s or mass genocide anything… Also to the really insane Fruitloop that tried summoning a being with the warning of “will cause the end of your world”. I am the Ghost King now, eventually everything and everyone will enter my domain regardless of who, when, how, or why. That is something I can wait for, I got no reason to speed it up…. So have a pleasant day and enjoy being arrested or ended for doing this dumb summoning if you decided to do this in front of like everyone in your world or something… Goodbye!”

The world went silent after that.

That…

None of them were expecting that at all.

[hoppe-ideas]

Hitman vibes

Because Danny is half dead, he has some serious doom and gloom vibes without trying.

He smiles and wishes you a good day? Holy shit this kid just said this is my last day holy fuck.

Give you hot chocolate? Is this kid implying that this is the last warmth I'll ever feel?

It boils down to this; Danny had Hitman Vibes.

This is both hilarious and concerning, especially when people try to contract him to perform assassinations. He has gotten so many people arrested with that shit.

[hoppe-ideas]

Short DPXDC Prompts #809

Danny is extremely weak and injured and he really hates overshadowing people. He does the next best thing: takes over the shadow of a person. Unknowingly, Danny just possessed the shadow of Red Robin.

[hoppe-ideas]

Pariah Dark is summoned to the DC universe by cultists who want to give the world over to him, he obliges in their request since he'll get something out of it, and he hasn't been out in ages as well.

So Pariah Dark raises his army of the dead and gets to work, his general isn't here with him but he would do fine without him, couldn't be that hard.

Besides, said general is occupied with a task of the utmost importance.

A few days into this siege Pariah is surprised at how much of a fight this world is putting up, that 'Justice League' of theirs is proving a fair more challenge than he would have though and since when did humans know the arcane secrets of magic?

It was a few more days later that Pariah Dark is about to face off against the league and their magic users that something unexpected happened. A teenage boy appeared on the battlefield, glowing white hair and starry cloak billowing in the wind as he stood before the Ghost King in all his glory.

Only to groan and tell him to come home already and that he promised not to do his whole 'enslaving worlds' thing. Pariah Dark, the Ghost King known as a tyrant and cruel, wilting under the boy's stare and actively seemed to be considering it, before confusion appeared on his face and he asked where his general was.

Kid just held up one side of his cloak and Fright Knight popped right out as if summoned, which, technically he was.

So then the kid forced the notorious Ghost King back to the Infinite Realms with a stare and words dripping in disappointment before turning back to the heroes gathered there with a sigh.

"I know father can be a bit... rough, so please accept my apologies for this." He bowed, all the regal air and dignity of a prince before leaving through the same portal as his dad.

The magic users of the League are both not and are taking it well. One on hand, the goddamn Ghost king apparently has a son, on the other he's not as bloodthirsty as his father.

(After thought. But bonus points if Fright Knight appears too one of the batkids after Danny left and telling them that the prince thought they were cute or something idk mane just an after thought)
