Harvey didn't want kids thanks to a little thing called generational trauma. They were basically the equivalent of
Bruce, big doe eyes, " I want a baby"
" no"
"Oh, okay"
" wait but don't ask another guy I'll do it"
No but seriously; Harvey becomes a dad very much accidentally. Two-Face?! Tim Drake from Batman the Animated series would disagree, but the fucker likes children
Bruce silently made it known he, Dick, Jason and Tim were a package deal and Two Face was PREPARED
I LOVE me some baby batkids. 10 year old Dick had to call Harvey to the principal's office, because like hell he'd face Bruce's 2 hour lecture. Harvey stresses that he can't just fight any kid that annoys him.
" He called Bruce a bad word. That word Luthor said to him last time and you knocked him out"
"...You want an ice cream?"
Harvey's a bit of a workaholic. Hey, the reformed life is slippery. Bruce has two main methods of tempting him back home; 1) send him admittedly adorable pics of Jason trying on suits 3 times his size, or use his " Please, Harv?" Voice
The Batkids know three simple truths in life; Harvey can't say no to Bruce. Harvey is catholic. Harvey prays to God and answers to Bruce.
You think Dick has golden child syndrome? Imagine being Duke Thomas. " why can't you be more like Duke?" Is basically the most used phrase in the house
Two-Face prides himself on being the only one with a backbone, only to fold like paper if they pull the " Papi, come on" trick
Bruce frames all of their babies' drawings and Harvey has copies of them all over the DA Office. He most DEFINITELY brags with his family.
Especially portraits. Imagine Harvey being nervous to pose, but Tim pulls those sad kitten eyes on him and gets so happy. " make me pretty, conejito"
" You already are, papa"
Bruce is dad/daddy, Harvey is pa or papa and Two Face is Pops
They have monopoly tournaments that turn VERY competitive on Bruce's side. One time he lost and didn't speak to anybody for 2 days until Harvey had a " talk" with him
If he winces when he sits down, grumbling as Harvey plants a kiss on his cheek along with a morning coffee, extra extra sugar, Alfred simply pretends he doesn't see it.
when i die i want to be buried in a "man i love fishing" with a fishing pole as my grave goods so i can cause as many problems as possible when i land on the banks of the river styx
There were a lot of excellent and heartbreaking lines in the emotional moments of E69
and Liam O’Brian is truly a monster (pos)
but the exchange that just absolutely broke me was
Orym to Will: “I’ll see you soon”
Fearne: “But not too soon!”
combined with all the little touches, the casual physical contact and the deliberate (as players) almost unconscious (as characters) affection
and like, i don’t ship it, because Orym is dedicated mlm and honestly i think Fearne is gray aro, but they’ve def got one of the deepest connections of the Hells (and yes, that includes my prime ship of sapphic tethers)
You know the thing I like most about Katniss choosing to take out Coin?
It's not that Katniss was deciding that Coin was worse than Snow, it's that she realized that Coin was going to be JUST as bad as Snow.
Snow wasn't the lesser monster. He's the man directly responsible for hundreds of dead children in the Games, the one who ordered killed the families of the kids that refused to be put into prostitution, not to mention responsible for the suffering and starvation of millions, and countless other atrocities besides.
But Snow had already been defeated, he was never going to survive that day. Katniss didn't make a choice between Snow and Coin.
The choice was whether she wanted to take personal revenge on all that Snow and the Capitol had done to her. Or if she wanted to make sure that there wouldn't ever again be another Rue, another Prim, another Katniss Everdeen.
Coin wasn't the bigger monster, what she was was the same evil in a new package. And where Snow had already been declawed, Coin was still a threat.
kanej being abt like. waking up (metaphorically.) one day and realizing . oh. this person that has become such a staple in my life. i kind of want them 2 remain in it. and trying 2 navigate how that will look while so much is changing around and within them........ wah. ur honor they r simply
amazing that mulder came back to life not through god or science or the paranormal, not through any of the universal systems of control that he spends his life pondering, but through how fiercely the people in his life loved him. loved him beyond seeming insane or questioning the limits of the world, the way that he loves everything. skinner pulled him out of the ground because he just "couldn't live with the doubt." scully shoved her way past anyone to grab onto him, to sit and hold his hand in a hospital room for days when she knows he can't feel it, to stand in a surgical bay at 8 months pregnant and try anything (the realm of "extreme possibility" is much greater now). doggett runs through a parking garage, takes the hit.
krycek says, "we all have a life in our hands. i have yours, you have mulder's, scully has her unborn child. it's who's willing to sacrifice," and offers a choice, but ultimately they all make it out alive.
ultimately, of the dozens of people that were abducted and came back, of those that died and lived again, one remained human and flesh and blood.
something something normal bringing brad back to life to be with his father but inadvertently causing him more existential dread and despair than he could imagine something something the doodler reaching out to love the people of earth but accidentally driving them mad beyond understanding. is this anything.
