Prompt 256
Look, Bruce had had no plans to be a cryptid, he swore.
Vigilante? Yes. Dark abomination of the night? No. And he was, he was technically just a dude. A well trained (and maybe feral) human, but still just a human! Apparently not to the rest of Gotham, and he honestly should have nipped those rumors when they first started.
But like, it was also perfect for his secret identity. No one exactly expected an undead shadow-beast to have a secret identity after all. Or an undead shadow beast and some sort of ghost child to have ones, as the small child- which turned to small children- he’d taken in discovered.
Which, look, he had tried to get Dick (and later Barbara, and Jason, and Tim, and Steph, and by the time of Duke and Cass had given up) to stop. He had tried everything he could but no, nothing could stop them. Literally nothing that he had done could stop any of them, so he had trained them instead.
And the children were all little shits. At least by the fact that Nightwing had lead the newly-made Justice League right where he was perching, continuing to chitter and giggle near hysterically as he ducked behind him.
And somehow they were here to try and recruit him. Great.

Tim: ....wait a goddamn minute you're telling me, they were not--- they were never together in the first place?
Bruce: Yes, Clark and I were never involved in such a relationship. How is that relevant to this---
Tim: Alright, whoever thought Clark and Bruce secretly eloped and then got divorced during Jason's-- *coughs* disAppearance, raise your hands!
*Bruce seeing the hands that have been raised*
Bruce: ... Alfred, why the fuck are you raising your hand-

i wanna see goku and raditz fight like brothers. like BROTHERS-brothers. i wanna see an extended sequence that's like that group of bros bopping and swatting and chasing and skidding and sliding and hopping like bro-sized kitty cats through a house and out into the fucking snow.
except it's two saiyans who can fucking fly, and they instinctively scamper, and one of them is enormous and made of hair, and they are both Grade-A King Shits when it comes to fucking with each other, and they love to chase.
i wanna hear, "FUCK OFF, RADITZ!!!" and then a zillion things falling over while raditz goes barreling through the entire zone, guffawing with hellion glee, and goku comes bounding after him in all three dimensions like a molten pinball.
i wanna hear, "DAMMIT, COCK-ROT, I'M GONNA--!!!" and then goku streaks past, shrieking like a boiling kettle and trying not to pee his pants from laughing so hard and running so fast, and raditz comes bursting around the corner like a tornado full of avalanches.

ok I'm NOT much of a DC reader but your dukeblogging has convinced me. but do you have a reading list (DC has more crises than I do. it's intimidating) by any chance
YEAHAHSJS
Ok so like Im not a REAL dc blogger so I don’t really have my own reading list; I basically focus heavily on black characters across the board and then dive into wherever they’re from but I usually use other reading lists to do it and go at my own (slow ass) pace. For DC i started fandom only and then moved on to actually reading comics which is why my opinions are so strong there bc I KNOW WHAT YALL ARE LIKE!
Sorry but now for Duke specifically I KNOW there’s a specifc blogger who’s list I followed down to the T but I cannot remember their url rn so here’s a list/chart that has like. Listings for him specifically
That’s mostly to follow timeline but for me I think to get his character down u could do all star Batman, Batman and the signal, the outsiders, WAR and then branch out from there (but also saying this as someone who’s read most of it so like maybe I’m biased and missing or forgetting smth). I’m sorry if this isn’t helpful but as SOON as I find that reading list I’m posting it bc I swear I literally went down that list one by one.
Edit: the tags are part of the answer but I ran out of room so post tags;
- tbh when it comes down to it I personally try to absorb character by character and then put them all together at the end; it’s what I’m currently doing with green arrow (I know it’s been months y’all don’t call paw patrol I’m STUPID) and my plan for moving forward but also fully acknowledging this sucks as a way to interact with other established fans however. Other established fans have proven to be racist and misunderstand characterization and character interaction on a fundamental level SOMETIMES (BC y’all get mad) bc they’re so focused on their faves so in conclusion If I don’t find the specific lists I used I’d get them from stan blogs and then be careful cause u know everyone’s using their faves BEST comics so just remember this is what THEY think is the best or most accurate Interpretation and u don’t have to agree (RR the road home and YJ98 sorry to be shitting on them again. Not even them but how ppl read them. Diff story tho)
-but also despite me obviously shitting on certain characters runs or interpretations I think the best thing you could do is give everyone a fair chance. Blank slate in ur mind if ur JUST starting and see where u go from there but also remember to check ur biases and think about WHY certain things get included or retconned or explained away bc that’s where a lot of ppl falter in thinking their fave is just misunderstood or smth.
FOUND THE LIST sorry this has been in and out for the drafts while searching so in conclusion FR;
I hope this helped but I think I sound insane just please read these <3

" tommy said you needed some maintenance help ? " the words coming from her own mouth make her brows raise; head tipped slightly to the side as she studied him. he was good with his hands. couldn't he fix his own water heater ? still, she didn't mind. not really. it was nice to see his face when they were both kept so busy lately. " something about your water heater springin' a leak. " / @hopethrived for casey !

deltarune fans what if the reason why spamton mad at jevil is because he didn't understand type matchups and the whole time jev is just "there is no fucking way he doesn't know. there's no way in hell he doesn't know why he looses so awfully" and refused to say anything. spam finds out eventually and loses his shit.
