#bruce: at 3AM??

[reebmiester]

"Baby Dick going to Bruce after a nightmare" this and "Red Hood breaking into Bruce's window when he's lonely" that WHERE is my fic about full grown 43 year old Bruce walking around in daze at 3am and finding himself in front of Alfred's room that's still in the servant quarters because Alfred never had the heart to move from the one Thomas decorated for him before he died and Bruce not remembering how he got there but waking up tucked into stiff starched sheets and a pistol under the pillow and hearing an assortment of children yelling in the kitchen about starting a search party and Alfred saying they can try but they'll never ever guess where he is

Dick: yeah why?

Jason: their's like five red heads in Gotham and I knew as a kid for a fact that one was Ivy and one was Riddler. Then I became Robin to find out the other was Batgirl/Barbra and finally Kate Batman's cousin who's now Batwoman-

Dick: Yeah Red Heads in Gotham are either heroes or villains

Jason: -yeah so I didn't want to draw attention to myself.

Dick: ...Jay?

Jason: what?

Dick: I don't think it worked you've been a hero, villain and now anti-hero.

Jason: ...

Jason: SCREW you Replacement!

Tim: I CANNOT believe you fell for that!

Dick: Whoa- whoa- let's all calm down here! Damian- what happened?

Tim: This numbskull-

Jason: I should just shoot-

Dick: I ASKED DAMIAN! Damian- what happened?

Damian: It has been a long time since Todd frequented fast food establishments and Tim told him that while he was gone McDonalds had recently added to their menu...

Dick: Oh. Oh no.

Jason: Fuck you, Drake, for telling me that there was an "among us" meal at McDonalds. That was the most humiliating experience of my life!

Dick: Tim!

Tim: This is just payback for that time Todd told me he had put fear serum in one of my Kuerig pods and not knowing which one would add "spice to my mornings".

Dick: JASON-

Prompt 129

Danny, now an adult, has just moved to the city of Gotham. Actually he’s been an adult for a while, but every once in a while he has to end his life, at least legally, lest someone get suspicious. Usually whenever Dan or Ellie does an oopsie and pulls a firebird with being reborn through their core. 

So legally, one Danyal Nightingale, has just moved to Gotham to open a bakery (Thank you for the wonderful recipes and bonding Clockwork) while taking care of his practically newborn son Jordan. Of course Elnath- Ellie- had to pull a core retreat too, which is just his luck. 

It wouldn’t be a problem, but he’s trying to not be so broody. A ghost- even a half-ghost- carrying another core though, has instincts turned up to like, eleven. Which again, wouldn’t be much of a problem if not for someone falling into his dumpster late at night bleeding. A vigilante, which he’s sworn to stay away from that life years ago. And it’s not a lethal wound…

But his instincts are screaming to not let the person bleed all around his nest, and he knows from experience that it would continue to bother him. Which is how he ends up with Batman on his couch to Dan’s glee if the ghost chirps are to go by. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #potential spirit halloween #This is before Tim joined as robin but after Jason dies me thinks #Bruce is on a self destruction spiral and there was a lucky hit that managed to give him a concussion #He might cry a little when he first sees tiny baby Dan peeking at him from the crib #There's no proof of it though and he was out of it so it doesn't count #Danny is not impressed with this man's self destruction spiral #No you can't go back to wherever your base is you are sitting your ass down until your ribs are no longer bruised and youre not concussed #You can also just stay right there until breakfast is done you ancients damned idiot #Eventually Bruce will definitely realize the Nightingale family aren't human but for now he's stubbornly trying to leave #Normally when ghosts reform from cores they don't deage but that's not how it works for halfas who have living bodies #Hence them joking about it being like phoenixes or firebirds #does this count as mpreg??? #idk it's like 3am rn lol

YouTuber!Stephanie

Stephanie has a youtube channel (she 100% gives it a name like gotham_after_dark or bat_interpreter) where she follows Batman and mocks him, she definitely also makes content on tiktok and instagram

She’s recording fights with rogues and him interrogating questioning people and doing voice overs in a goofiest growl she can for batman but she also does voices for everyone else (it gets to the point where penguin puts a hit out and is actively trying to expose the youtubers identity bc steph does this terrible whiny british accent when she’s imitating penguin)

She starts her channel right after Bruce fires her from Robin and still does it to this day

Bc if she’s gonna get shit for not being Tim might as well go all the way right?? She’s just doing the opposite of what Tim’s doing or outright copying him depending on which would annoy them the most

Stephanie records batman dangling some guy off a roof for the 37th time this week while going “You said the cheese on the nachos at your restaurant was imported directly from Italy but I saw you…THIS CHEESE IS FROM A GROCERY STORE…in GOTHAM… do you know what batman does to liars??”

Batman’s chasing the joker? Again? Here comes Stephanie with her fucking camera “Joker baby, you know that fight with Cobblepot meant nothing to me” “You know what, Bats? Fight whoever you want!” “Why are you going to Cobblepot’s lair with a grenade launcher? Baby…?” “Well, if the wellbeing of fucking Oswald is sooo important to you, you fucking cheater ☹️ I’m gonna kill him” “HUH” Stephanie’s joker voice is pretty good but she stops when Jason follows her channel after admitting he watches it (however Damian gives zero fucks and edits in his scarily accurate joker impression and will break into Jason’s apartment at random to do his joker impression)

Stephanie’s Duke impression is just her making puns in a bad robot voice and Duke hates it sm bc she’s saying shit like “Don’t signal for backup bc I’m already Signal-ing this ass whooping” “The yellow is the Signal for you to run” “Hey hey hey, night time is when you do this stupid shit rn is Signal Time” “The sun is my Signal to be vigilant-y” “Setting off that alarm should’ve been enough of a Signal for you stop” (Dick made tshirts and Duke refuses to talk to him when he wears them)

You legally have to be a level 79 hater to be a vigilante in gotham so most of Steph’s videos esp after Bruce has pissed her off are just her shitting on batman in a terrible growl “Damn, I’m getting too old for this…my knees hurt so much” “Nightwing thinks he’s funny, asking me if I remember the dust bowl…mf I remember the fucking big bang” “I’m so good at this, I don’t think anyone knows I’m a vampire” “Bruce Wayne owns gotham general and can’t cure Alzheimer’s?? I hate that asshole, I don’t even remember where tf I’m going” “I wanted to be Spider-Man and now I’m this” “Ooh, I’m Batman and I hate fun, happiness, and joy” “Don’t do crime, be like me…perpetually bitchless and breaking kneecaps” “Some people need coffee for a pick me up but I just need to see a purse snatcher piss their pants” “I don’t actually meld into the shadows, I just have Apple Maps and it takes me the long way”

Batman’s fighting or arguing with black mask?  Stephanie has been waiting for this moment so every video with black mask is just her making fun of black mask to the point where there’s barely any batman slander “My real names fucking Roman so I had to go all out with this stupid ass costume…I’m not even a real gothamite, I’m from metropolis” “Sionis…I don’t care… you blew up thirteen hostages” “ITS NOT MY FAULT, OKAY?! Did you know you’re supposed to wash masks? Especially if you wear the same one everyday? Bc I fucking didn’t” “…Sionis…” “THERES MOLD ON MY FACE and this mask smells like ASS” “Everyone knows that, you moron…How do you think I found you? I can smell your stench from damn near two miles away…” “I’m like scary though right??” “No, Sionis, you just have poor hygiene…and issues” “Dammit, I’m like a dollar tree version of two face” “Not quite, what’s lower than that? Dollar tree is too good for you…don’t tell joker but Harvey’s way-”

Stephanie has a two hour video of batman grappling across Gotham just shitting on metropolis and sixty seven minutes of it is just Superman slander in a terrible growl

There’s short clips of cass suddenly disappearing or appearing out of nowhere before and after dismantling someone with the michael myers theme playing in the background (Cass does dramatic flips and landings every time steph records her)

When Bruce complains about the threat to their identities and compromising ongoing missions/investigations, Stephanie (who is purposely trying to piss him off) just looks him dead in eye and goes “Well, you’re not the boss of me sooo” so Tim gives a presentation and shuts down every single argument Bruce makes just to be contrary bc he’s a fucking asshole

Tim only has a problem with it when Stephanie and Damian start working together bc Damian  does concerningly accurate impressions and Damian keeps making Tim sound like a fucking idiot and it’s worse bc he can mimic his speech patterns (“I can’t do this anymore… I’m sad and pasty… Call the fifth robin, you know…the only competent robin…”) 

Like Damian’s repeating one of Tim’s caffeine concoction induced rants about bagels in Tim’s voice while Steph is growling at him to focus in her batman impression

When Tim brings his complaints to Bruce about Stephanie’s youtube account, Bruce cites Tim’s own argument back to him so Tim takes over editing and recording to be an asshole

[raepritewrites]

I literally woke up in the middle night because I needed to rant about this okay there are so many things that I love about the Bruce Timm Batman Universe and so many things that I hate with a passion

because without the Bruce Timm Batman Universe we would not have Batman Beyond which is one of my favorite series; it is deeply flawed but I kind of love it's flaws, most of them anyway, but the thing is right? at some point some executive said to the writing staff "hey no you can't have dead Jason Todd in your show" and like okay fair - children show can't depict dead children that's fair - but then years later the writing team was like "Hey what if we did something worse than kill a kid what if... What if we f****** Take a kid Have the Joker kidnap him Torture him Brainwash him And then have him kill the Joker Only not really And then He's still screwed by the end... Would that be better?" And it's like no! no it would not! What is wrong with you?! But that's what they did A full seven years before under the Red Hood was Published and Jason Todd was officially resurrected they were like "you know what? we're not going to have a dead Robin we're going to have something worse" and again it is arguably the worst thing about Batman Beyond and the Bruce Timm Universe - Do I love the idea of Terry McGinnis fighting the Joker? Yes of course I do! it's brilliant! I love it because Terry is such a different Batman than Bruce Timm's original Bruce Wayne. Long long before Grant Morris Had his run of the comics with Dick Grayson as Batman We got a Batman who told jokes and made quips! And was hilarious! And also badass! And then we got to see him kick the Joker's ass! and I love that! But God I hate that it had to come at the expense of poor Tim Drake - and sometimes I think that the writers maybe have always hated Tim Drake? and I don't know why and I can't prove it but that's my theory.. if I'm being honest here what I believe happened, and I don't feel like looking this up but I'm sure someone could, I feel like the writers wanted to bring back the Joker but they were like "we can't do that he's got to be dead by now" and they were like "all right how do we get him into the future" and then someone was like "hey why is it that Bruce is all alone in the future like not even dick is around?" and someone else was like "oh! oh what if? what if they're not around because something happened in the family to the last robin?" and they were like "wait we can't write a story where Robin dies that's Jason Todd's story and we were specifically told don't do that" and they were like "just hear me out - let's make it worse"

Tldr: I have complicated feelings about "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" and its 3am

#batman #batman beyond #return of the joker #bruce timm #under the red hood #jason todd #tim drake #bruce wayne #dick grayson #terry mcginnis #barbara gordon #ramblings #shut up rae #i need to sleeeeep #its 3am #is this anything #i cant even call this analysis its just nonsense

While I haven't watched MHA in good while, and I'm also not the biggest DC head (cause the franchise is fucking gigantic) this is the way I see this conceptually:

Dabi x Hawks is Nightwing (Dick) x Batgirl (Barbara)

Endeavor x Hawks is Batman (Bruce) x Batgirl (Barbara)

Like excuse me sir, why are you dating a person who is the same age as your black haired (sometimes), blue eyed son and is also (in some alternate universes) his ex and is also kinda your coworker like hello????

Now do correct me if I'm wrong but the parallels make me hate Endeavor x Hawks even more (not more than batman x batgirl tho cause that is sometimes CANON)

[bra1n-r0tt1ng]

I’m stuck with the idea of a percy jackson/DCU au.

Full disclosure, I haven’t read the books or watched the new show yet. I did see the movies and have some knowledge from the musical… but safe to say I have very little knowledge on the subject. My knowledge of Greek Gods is also somewhat limited in itself.

That being said I desperately want to see an au with Bruce Wayne as Hades, claiming unclaimed kids like their collectibles.

Seeing Dick Grayson, a kid who just got to camp after losing his other bio-parent and step-parent, wondering if anybody is gonna take this grieving child. When nobody does he doesn’t see the problem in taking him as his own. (Giving me Aphrodite or Apollo vibes)

Jason Todd, a child so obviously born of Ares (I’m pretty set in this headcanon but that might just be me), yet unclaimed despite the knowledge. Not unclaimed but rejected entirely. That’s alright, Bruce will take him instead.

Tim Drake, another child so easily claimed. The blood of Athena so easy to see, but never good enough for her to claim as her own. (Pretty set in this headcanon too tbh) Oh, Bruce couldn’t stand to watch a desperate child hoping that one day his mother would see him, when Bruce already knew she never would.

Cassandra Cain being the embodiment of shadows itself, if he didn’t know better he’d wonder if she truly was his child. A child of Thanatos, perhaps. No matter, he has room for many.

Duke Thomas, the boy born of Apollo (fucking tell me I’m wrong, that boy is sunshine itself it makes zero sense for him to be anybody else’s kid) but only caring for the mother and father that raised him, not the god who never made themselves known. Perhaps Duke doesn’t need him like the others, but his door will be open all the same. (I’m gonna be totally honest with the fact I don’t follow much Duke Thomas stuff, I mostly know him from Wayne Family Adventures)

Lastly, Damian Al Ghul, his only blood child. Hidden away from the other gods but his nonetheless (you guessed it!! Another moment where I have no idea what the hell is going on in Percy Jackson lore.)

Anyway those are my thoughts. I might update with more depending on how badly I hyperfocus on the tv show once all the episodes are out.

someone needs to make an edit of, or draw, Jason Todd to Hayloft II. But like from Bruce's perspective, "my baby's got a gun my baby's got a gun" and he has to watch Jason take his anger at Bruce out on the criminal underworld. "He's not a bad kid he's not a bad kid", is Bruce reminding himself of the kid Jason used to be, thinking being Robin have him magic, doing good in school, always smiling. "But he had to do it", cuts to Jason with a crowbar raised above his head.

"he had to kill pop" but it's actually just joker bleeding out on the floor beyond being saved.

Something something Jason Todd's mommy issues.

i try not to religious imagery code my writing too much because sometime it can go from artistic to tacky, but then i look back at the stuff i write at like 3am and am hit with monstrosities like:

#there is so much to unpack #the three people in the room... #is the third one god or is it the joker or is it the robin that died in the warehouse or is it the batman that died mourning his son #i really wish 3am saki would leave some notes because i have no idea where i was going with this #jason todd #bruce wayne #also jason comparing bruce to god... wanting to fight god knowing he loves to love you and loves to hate you #“would he feel it at all?” #saki wips

Mmmk lowkey actually getting into Brutalia now even tho they’re like firmly in their amicable bitter divorced exs arc bc like?? Its so funny. Bc you have this girl who’s the daughter of one of the most powerful immortal dudes in the world and who’s a trained assassin and you have this guy who’s one of the best fighters in the world and the world’s greatest detective and like you expect them to both be hypercompetent and amazing at everything and have very sexy fights that end in them leaning into each other while hanging off a building both shirtless but instead Bruce cries whenever he looks at someone for more than three seconds and Talia can’t speak when she sees abs and they just stare at each other blankly for hours and neither of them know how to exist like Normal People. Like they can take down a room of trained goons in under ten minutes max but you shove their baby at them and they both stare blankly as Damian spits on them out of spite. Talia threatens to murder someone with a spoon when they ask her how her day goes and then spends the rest of the day crying because she accidentally threatened a new friend. Bruce goes to the grocery store and has a panic attack when he accidentally looks at the cashier’s chin. Neither of them can function at all. It’s so fucking funny.

My favorite headcanon that I have is that Bruce Wayne’s teenage years and the time he was traveling were the craziest shit

And by that I mean action cartoon/anime with teenagers level shit

This man was a magical girl, stoped the end of the world by going to summer camp once, was the final girl in a killer in the woods scenario, almost got sacrificed to a cult (multiple times), put a stop to the beginning of a zombie apocalypse, uncovered an evil government plot, was a fucking Boy Scout selling cookies in Gotham, uncovered something criminal about his school, was the sidekick to his friend who was half ghost, got transported to another reality and saved it w/ the power of friendship and he probably got invited to Hogwarts at some point

All and more with a different group of friends or strangers every time

And he just, never talks about it

Some magical girl villain: *evil speech abt magical girl politics*

Superheroes, who aren’t magical girls: *visible confusion*

Batman, cutting the villain off: —Wrong. The ✨Pure Pure Heart Sparkle Law of 1972✨ forbids the use of magic to iron socks!

Superman: Why do you know that? No, how do you know that??

Batman: *punches the villain*

-

Damian: I have reason to believe that my school’s head teacher is pushing drugs onto the 12th graders.

Tim: clad u let us know, but why at the dinner table

Bruce: who’s your head teacher again?

Damian: Evil McEvilFace

Bruce: ahhh

Bruce:

Bruce: didn’t we throw him in jail in the early ‘90s?

Alfred: I belive so, sir.

Dick: in the— wouldn’t you have been like, a teenager??

Bruce: Alfred, this salad tastes great

Alfred: I would hope so.

Dick: and wait, why is your head teacher named Evil McEvilFace

Something occured to me and now I need to share.

A highly trained, highly skilled combat expert with a dark aesthetic (Batman, Avacato) is completely helpless to stop both members of his family from dying (Bruce's parents getting gunned down, Avacato's wife and son dying in childbirth) from dying and impulsively decides to adopt a young boy (Dick Greyson, Little Cato) who was also helpless to stop his family from dying. He and his adopted son team up with an upbeat, cheerful, sunshine-type man (Superman, Gary) who has the ability to cause mass destruction, but really just wants friends and family.

The adopted son loves and looks up to his father very much despite the sheer number of times he's been kidnapped or nearly killed by people trying to get to his father through him. He eventually hero worships the upbeat, cheerful sunshine-type man his father is friends with, who in turn sees the boy as a son and helps the dark, grumpy man co-parent him.

They then team up with a very determined no-nonsense woman, (Wonder Woman, Quinn) who can sometimes be goofy, teasing, and playful, who was born and raised to be a strong member of the military. She eventually grows very close to the two men and they form a team in order to save and protect earth.

The son, who is also skilled at combat, is determined to hunt down and kill the one responsible for making him an orphan (Zucco, Lord Commander), but the man ends up surviving.

They team up with a green alien who likes sweets (Martian Manhunter, Mooncake), and another green teammate who they all find a bit self-centered and annoying (Guy Gardner, Tribore).

They then take in a teenage boy (Jason Todd, Fox) who is built like a tank and had to leave behind his love of the classic arts in favor of becoming a weapon, despite the fact that all he ever wanted was a loving family. He eventually dies very tragically in front of his adopted father figure, who blames himself.

They also take in an awkward, adorable teen (Tim Drake, Ash) who starts off a bit creepy stalker-y with the first adopted son, but over time grows to be close friends with him. They are revealed to be queer, and romantically interested in an alien. They are also the one chosen to be mind puppeted by the main bad guy, and later snap and potentially turn evil.

The youngest (Damian Wayne, Quatro) is a traditional warrior who was basically born expertly waving around weapons.

I know there are other similarities, but I just had to get this out before I forgot anything. Idk, might add to it later.
