Jason being protective over Bruce just feeds my soul. I don't even need dinner, just give me Jason scaring off suitors away from his dad and I'll be CONTENT
LISTEN. Bruce is literally always sending Jason messages, texts, tries calling him, even sends him memes at Steph's recommendations, but nothing! Nada!
He always sighs and tries again, but eventually scores Jason's gonna talk when he's gonna want to.
He also leaves him voice mails, detailing about doing arts and crafts with Damian, how he tried Jason's training routines, taking cooking classes, - and he always ends the message with, " Don't get into trouble, Jay. "
It passes as I love you,
What does it? What finally stirs Jason back into the Wayne Manor? This:
" Jason Peter Todd. This better be the last time you prank call Tim in a middle of a meeting. You're more than aware our investors are, -" cut " I'm calling you for a favour. Could you watch Damian for me Thursday night? Everyone else is busy, and Clark made some reservations at a ridiculously expensive establishment, I-"
Jason marching through the manor with this voice mail at full volume, while Bruce and the others are trying to get him ready for the date. Dick is the first one who spots him. " Oh, no-"
" HE IS A FUCKING DEAD MAN!"
" Jason," Bruce is very calm as he attaches his nicest broach on. " Watch your language. "
" Who's this Clark guy? How long have you known him? What does he do? Do we have a background check? What about romantic history Who's? Who's side was he on in the Heard vs Depp trial? "
" He posts golden retrievers on that blue bird app you like. He's even...Approved? I think? But Dick told me not to mention it around you. And take that off, you'll scare him. He should be here any minute now."
" OH THATS WHAT I'M COUNTING ON - "

Saw a post somewhere in the Masters of the Air tags that said Bucky Egan is Lewis Nixon if Lewis Nixon gave into his impulses, and I need to respectfully disagree.
Bucky Egan is--to use some broad terms--young, dumb, and full of come. He's not stupid. He's just 25-ish with strict ideas about what it means to be an American (he enlisted when the war broke out, not after Pearl Harbor; which is some truly Wisconsin shit), and he wants to be the coolest, hippest cat in the room (his vernacular is based on loving media about mobsters and trying to emulate them). He drinks and fucks and parties because those are things that the characters in his favorite books do. And those are things he WANTS to do. Because he's 25 and can work the Clark Gable 'stache. In episode 4, when he sits vulnerably naked in front of that big picture window in his hotel room, having bedded a woman with a dark past (again, see his love of mobster stories; she's a femme fatale in his mind), he is shattered at watching the bombs drop on London. He'd known it was happening. But to see it. It's seeing the truth of it. Understanding that he, as a pilot, knows the level of destruction being attempted, and being able to accurately guess how well it went.
There's a moment where Paulina asks why he's all the way out in Hammersmith. It's clearly not central London. When he watches the bombs, they're not close by. But then he's walking down the street in his pilot's uniform in a generally intact suburb. But someone did get hit. One person DID get hit. And she cries and screams for someone whom she can't decide is alive or dead.
That's Bucky's own thoughts about Curt. That's Bucky's own thoughts about the men who flew the day before. That's Bucky's own thoughts about every man in every fort that went down. They're alive. No, they're dead. No, they're alive. No, they're dead.
What we're seeing by the end of episode 4, is Bucky faced with the unrelenting truth of death in war in a way he hid from himself in so many ways for so long. Partly by fucking and drinking and partying.
The difference between Bucky Egan and Lewis Nixon is that Lewis Nixon went into the war believing everything was shit. And he drank his way through the war because everything was shit. And he made a truly heroic attempt to blow up his friendship with Dick because everything was shit.
Lewis Nixon, if being allowed to give into his impulses, would have drank himself to death during the war. I believe that completely. Fuck, we know he had a hard time for several years after.
Bucky Egan, until he sees the bombing in London for himself after one of his closest friends has disappeared in battle (Curt) and another close friend (Buck) goes up without him, he doesn't let the war touch him. He doesn't let the WORLD touch him.
Bucky Egan drinks and fucks and parties because he LIKES IT. And he wants to keep it up because if he can keep it up, things can't be that bad.
But they are that bad.
Meanwhile, Buck Cleven is NOT Dick Winters. He doesn't drink. He doesn't gamble. He doesn't fuck. Sure. But Dick Winters didn't do those things because he was raised in a family where those things were held up as signs of moral fortitude and self-discipline. Buck Cleven doesn't do them because his abusive father did them all and into severe excess.
But Dick Winters would NEVER slow dance with a big dog to make his best friend laugh, and Buck Cleven would. Neither Dick Winters nor Buck Cleven would ever back out of a fight, but Dick Winters would never shame a man for being scared while Buck Cleven did. And rightly fucking so, frankly.
What's so interesting to Bucky and Buck is that "two randos with very different views of the world became the closest of friends" ALSO happened in Band of Brothers (and, in fact, in Generation Kill between Ray and Brad [a reminder I haven't seen the Pacific), and it speaks to how friendship bonds form differently in different situations but there seems to be some proof that people with opposite experiences in life can find common ground with a common goal between them.

We've all heard of accidental baby acquisition, but now get ready for:
Accidental pet acquisition!
Thoughts? 👀
Always of the opinion that we were cheated with Jason's lacking involvement with Haley. Specifically with 'Bitewing,' because that has Jason's wit all over it. So let's make an AU of that:
Specifically - roommate!AU
Where Dick and Jason are really just roommates (who happen to toe boundaries and flirt for fun. A lot.)
Basically, they're cool. Casual. Their relationship is better than its ever been (not just because they're little mutual flirts and Jason is thriving because of it) and it's a good time.
Side tangent: Jason settling so quickly and finding a newfound confidence with consistent companionship. All the bluster and bravado, fake-it-til-he-makes-it falling away to something more genuine because Dick is Dick and is just one of those people that gives confidence by association? Idk, but it's a positive impact that Jason doesn't even realize for a long while until he does and it's ;U;
But yeah, sometimes they work together, other times not. Always, always Jason is a nag about Dick's abysmal work hours and lack of care towards himself though. It's not necessarily a fight, but Jason gets sassy with it because if Dick doesn't want Jason taking care of him, then do it himself. )<
Dick turning this sort of argument around on Jason all the time as they flirt banter. Jason doesn't want Dick looking out for him/watching his back, then do it himself (which Jason puffs up because he's always prepared, to which Dick scoffs because yeah, sure, with a deathwish and Jason laughing because yeah, stop projecting bigbird i'll fight you and so on and so forth). Jason also doesn't want Dick treating him nice? Do. It. Himself. ;)
It's a good situationship. They challenge each other in the way they need to be challenged and surprisingly? Jason kind of loves it that way (because for once, it's mutual and fair)
That love of challenging and being challenged goes by the wayside the day Dick up and comes home with a dog
And it's not that Jason is scared of dogs, he just...has a consistent experience with them.
Experiences that make his knee jerk reaction of jumping over the back of the couch to shield himself completely warranted and valid
(Because, headcanon: it wasn't just stray kids and vagrants living on the streets. Starved, abused dogs? Just as vicious as any human).
Jason flustering because, 'what's that?'
'A dog.'
Were it not for Dick's guard dog (a three legged puppy), Jason would throw down and that'd be the end of Dick. Jason knows how to hide a body, damn it
'No shit. Why're they here? In our apartment??'
To which Dick goes into the harrowing story of how he saved this dog from being chased down and abused and Jason glowers because wtf don't just regurgitate Jason's life story to him and expect him to empathize, manipulative son of a-
Only Jason does [empathize] because puppy eyes (from Dick, the dog, or both - reader's choice)
Anyway, Dick picking up that Jason is scared of dogs and teasing him about it because it's wildly unexpected and goes against Jason's image in a comical sort of way
Of course Jason denying being scared of anything. Adamantly. Because he's not, he's just learned to be wary. Dick shouldn't be so trusting all the time, the ass l<
Which, yeah. Maybe. Though trusting and choosing to take risks has landed Dick with a whole lot of good in his life *pointed looks and smirks at Jason*, just sayin'
Which is like, such an underhand punkass thing to say, the bastard. It's so disarming that Jason can do little more than crouch behind the couch to hide his blush and glower and grumble in protest because 'stfu.'
Honestly though, Dick being at a loss on what to do. Though Dick supposes he can probably call Damian. Or Clark, maybe.
But Dick looks so bummed about it. Because for pragmatic as Dick can be, he's by default a fucking sap. Ain't no way Dick hasn't already emotionally adopted this dog as his own. Separating them not feels like such a dick move.
But it's fine. Jason can use this to his advantage. Aside from having one over on Dick for the future, Jason can certainly bargain with Dick needing to adjust his unbearable work schedule now. Because having a dog is a responsibility.
Finally, proper work hours and post-work hours and-
Only not because it's Jason's unemployed, homebound ass that gets saddled with looking after this hellhound
Dick being tentative about leaving Jason with her given Jason's not-traumas and fears, but Jason insists that it's fine even while trying to subtly hide behind a pillow that he fluffs to hide the fact that he's looking for shields here
Dick insisting that the dog is sweet, seriously.
'Yeah, so am I.' Jason would retort with bared teeth. 'Get gone and get back before I'm not.'
At which point Jason is left alone with a source of one of his many traumas.
And is marginally healed of it by the time Dick returns because this little angel ends up adoring him hahaha
That first hour being spent with Jason sitting curled up on the couch and the dog just sitting on the rug in front of him. Staring. Then laying down and staring. And Jason tries to ignore them. Working on a case or reading a book but the staring ffs. Every time Jason peers around whatever he's doing, the dog just watches him.
But then she wags her tail and Jason is a little endeared and ugh, fine
Basically Dick coming home to find Jason sitting on the couch with the puppy sleeping on his chest and Jason being all soft eyed and content because he's been chosen. Also, look at those little paws on his pecs? Adorable.
Dick snickering because paws? Adorable. Pecs? ԾᴗԾ
(Also: this is definitely his dog. Dick would love to gets his hands on Jason's tits, too).
Dick sitting next to them and asking after Jason's day. Which was good, thank goodness. Jason asking after Dick, too. To which Dick laughs and admits it couldn't have been as nice as theirs, but it was fine. Just casual and easy and domestic. //u///
Jason lighting up because he thought of a name.
Which Dick doesn't discourage him from even though they'd previously discussed only looking after her until they found a proper home.
It's sweet how attached Jason got, how proud he is when he turns to Dick with a brilliant smile and titters: 'Haley 'Bitewing' Grayson-Todd'
Dick having any number of playful, ornery retorts ready, only they all die in his throat because he's so caught off guard just- what?
He has one of those reboot moments because: Haley? Bitewing? Hyphenated last names!? It's too much for Dick's heart, just. Ffffffff.
This is the moment Dick realizes he might love this man.
But for the moment, Dick laughs and Jason preens as Dick scratches behind Haley's ears and catches Jason's gaze and tells him it's perfect and Jason gets a little timid, but loves on their pup too
And their fingers brush and it's !!! with awkward laughs as they pull away and ahhhhhhhhh

so im watching superman (1978) (slowly lol it’s a long-ass film and i have a short attention span) and I’m not 100% into the traditional ‘lois is only into superman’ dynamic im thinking. thoughts about it.
like Lois meets Superman and is Instantly Smitten but also aware very quickly that the idea of ever having an actual relationship with him is just a fantasy. Like he’s an alien and he’s basically a god. it’s obvious he liked her but he keeps her at arms length and she’s pretty sure he’s basically Above the whole idea of dating. so she’s made her peace w it but part of her is still like ‘but what if someday’.
& meanwhile there’s Clark who’s her awkward co-worker and the embodiment of Just Some Guy and very Friend Shaped. and they get closer & closer and more wrapped up in each other’s lives as time goes on. and suddenly she’s like, hm, this guy has a key to my apartment, i know all his favourite take-out orders and he has my hyper-specific starbucks order memorised and i know the name of both his childhood dogs and he’s met my parents and even my grandparents cause we’ve been each other’s dates to weddings and things (platonically!! ofc) for years now and I guess he’s like, my best friend? he’s like. the human embodiment of a comfy sweater u just want to wear every night.
then one day they’re hanging out and she has the slow-burn ‘.....oh.’ moment
and now she’s like, ok I’m in love w my friend Clark, i’ve probably been in love with him for years, and I don’t even know if he feels the same way (he definitely had a crush early on but he backed off as soon as it was clear she wasn’t interested so for all she knows he’s fully over her by now) so I guess I’ve got to. tell him.
and also like!! she thought she was in love with Superman but now it’s like ohhh ok. that really was only ever a fantasy. like, this, this is real, this is a relationship I could maybe actually have and I want it more? i want this more.
but she feels Involved enough with Superman (and like she’s pretty sure he knows how she feels about him) so she’s like i guess i should tell him that there’s someone else. i feel like he has a right to know. 
so next time she sees Superman she tells him she’s fallen for someone else and Clark’s just like. dying inside bcos he figured years ago that Lois didn’t (would never) like him back so it never crosses his mind that she might be talking about him. but outwardly he has to be like ‘that’s great!! tell me about him, what’s his name?
‘he’s my co-worker, his name is Clark’
‘....’
‘Superman? Are you okay?’
*screaming internally* ‘yeah i’m. i’m just fine.’

For the random word prompts have some crafty words: knit, crochet, sew, mend, needle, thread and scissors. I gave you a lot because I don't think many people use enough craft Hobbies and skills in fics and I love reading about my favorite characters using skills I love.
Tbh I don't really have much prose-wise for craft stuff at the moment, I'm pretty sure everything craft-related on my docket is still in very loose outline form? Like ALL my uses of "needle" are ethically-dubious-lab-related, for SURE.
Buuuuut I can give you this very professional outline excerpt from a crack AU where Kon gets turned into a small and adorable puppy and things get ridiculous and cute and low-key emotional from there, if you want a little bit of crafting, lol.
Krypto picks puppy!Kon up by the scruff and takes him home to Metropolis lol 
Clark is puzzled, Lois is amused, 10yo!Jon is DELIGHTED because Krypto had a PUPPY!! 
Clark: Krypto didn't HAVE a puppy, Jonno, he just–
Kon, actively floating through the living room 
Clark: . . . uh. 
Jon: :DDD 
Clark: h o w . 
Lois: . . . well, WE had JON, sooo . . . 
Clark, panicking juuuuust a little: Oh my GOD how did this never occur to me as a thing that might be a thing?! Oh my GOD!!
And then Kon is Doomed because now they all think he's KRYPTO'S BABY lol 
meanwhile Jon is bonding with the new pupper/fellow hybrid who he wants to grow up and fight crime with and Krypto is trying to teach Kon how to speak Kryptonian Dog and also dadding the hell out of His Puppy/bestie hahaha 
And Damian sulkily resents that Jon's dog likes DRAKE better than HIM
Jon talking to Ma about maybe making "Scout" his own lil' collar-cape like Krypto's and Kon like, DIVES into her scrap basket and comes up with some black scrap leather and like, BARKS over it in an attempt to get them to realize HE'S NOT ACTUALLY A PUPPY DAMMIT
Jon, a little embarrassed: . . . do you, uh, think Kon would think it was dumb if we made Scout a little leather jacket like his? Since he's a Kryptonian hybrid like–us?
Ma, fucking CHARMED by both that idea and Jon's cuteness: Well I think we're GOING to so he'd best just be flattered. 
Kon like . . . very confused as to why Jon even wants to do that, but also GDI JON AND MA COME ONNNNN 
Kon so, SO grudgingly getting measured for an S-shield pupper-jacket which of COURSE Ma immediately makes and Jon helps by sewing the embroidered El crest patch she makes onto the back 
Jon may or may not bedazzle it
Lois is destroyed by the c u t e 
Kon, internally: what is my life.

Who Am I Really?
Chapter 10
Fandom: Aquaman
Pairing: Ormxfemale!Reader
Warnings: none
Summary: the council comes to see Orm
Tumblr media
Orm frowned at the restraints YN had put him in, she seemed to be enjoying seeing him tied down. She kept giggling and smirking as she finished with the final snow chain. She normally used these on her tires in winter to make sure her car got around but now she was finding she could use them for all kinds of things.
“Are you enjoying this?” Orm asked. “Me being tied up?” She blushed and nodded.
“I am enjoying it a lot,” she said. She stood back. Orm was in a chair, hands zip-tied together, chains wrapped around him and padlocked to keep him there. His feet were connected to the floor using leash ties and old dog collars. Orm could have been out of this in seconds, but the Atlanteans didn’t need to know that. He pretended to struggle, and YN put a hand on his shoulder. “Stop, wait for the others to arrive, I don’t want you breaking them while they’re here.” He froze and stayed still. “I’m going to wait outside, any longer in here and I’m going to enjoy this too much.”
“Is this going to happen again later?” he asked. She nodded.
“When I get you back in bed, I’m going to have so much fun,” she said before closing the door behind her. Orm shifted uncomfortably excited by the idea.
YN stood by the lake, waiting for the arrival of the council. Mera was with her already, watching the water. She didn’t know what to say to the woman. She knew who she was, that she and Orm were once engaged but she had married his brother. That Orm had not been the best person to her, sending people out to kill her because he felt betrayed. What do you say to someone with that kind of history with the man you loved?
“What do you possibly see in him?” Mera asked, finally breaking the silence. YN looked at her. “I don’t know what he’s been like since being here but, he was such a terrible partner when we were together, I can’t imagine him being anything else.”
“I’m not sure what he was like with you but here, he’s been wonderful. A little too arrogant sometimes, but he helps around the shelter, loves the animals, is kind, for my birthday he took me to this little seaside restaurant, and we sat on the beach and just watched the waves. He told me stories and said that they were boring compared to the life he was living. He finds everything so fascinating here…” she could go on and on. Mera was staring.
“That hit to the head must have knocked something loose in him, maybe forgetting the hatred helped remove it altogether,” she said. “I’m glad. When we were kids, he was a sweet boy, always wanting to make everyone around his happy. Wasn’t until Atlanna was banished that he turned bitter.” They stood in silence then, watching the water until it started to ripple. YN turned and called to Clark, who arrived there within seconds.
“They’re not going to challenge me to prove my strength, right?” Clark asked. YN shrugged. Mera said hello to him and then faced the water as Arthur emerged first, followed by the council. They looked around, unimpressed by the shelter and house by the lake.
“Where are we?” one of the ladies asked. YN stepped forward.
“Greetings, you are near the coast of Rhode Island, my lake here feeds directly into the ocean via a short river,” she explained. “I’m YN and I own this house and the animal shelter where your wild animal, Orm Marius, is being held on the surface.” They looked her up and down, unimpressed by her also.
“She doesn’t look like she could control him,” another council member said. Arthur shot them a look and they stopped talking. YN just kept smiling. She was used to dealing with annoying people who thought they knew better than her. Most of the time it was about why they couldn’t keep a pet and were abandoning it, but wasn’t that what these Atlanteans wanted to do with Orm? She just motioned to Clark.
“This is Superman, I am sure you have heard of him, even in Atlantis,” she said. They looked at him and she could tell they were awed. Wasn’t hard, Clark was tall, muscular, good looking, classic trustworthy man type. Mera rolled her eyes a little with YN.
“Hello, I have been called upon by YN and your king to help keep this prisoner in place. I have thoroughly checked the cell and restraints he is being held in, he will not escape,” he said. The council took his word for it and approached the shelter. YN showed them into the ‘problem dogs’ area and there was Orm, pretending to struggle against the restraints. He looked livid.
“Orm Marius, so nice to see you,” a councilwoman said. Orm eyed her suspiciously. “We hope you are well, that this will suitably hold you until we come to a decision about your punishment.” Now he was confused. Arthur stepped forward.
“I forgot to tell you; I may have done a little confessing to the council. I explained what actually happened with Manta, about breaking you out of the deserter prison, and how you actually helped us and resisted the pull of Black Trident. How you kind of aren’t such a dick anymore. The council is reconsidering what to do with you,” Arthur said.
“O really? Show is this all for a laugh then? Locking me up here?” he asked. Arthur chuckled and shook his head.
“O no, this is real, punishment is still being discussed, but I thought perhaps the council would question you here about what your plans and ideas are for your future, while you are restraint and under the eye of Superman here,” the king said. Orm looked around at the council members. Could this really be it? He might get a lesser punishment? Be able to not hide anymore? Could he see Atlantis again?
“Thank you your majesty, I will speak with them,” Orm said, bowing his head to Arthur. Arthur chuckled and turned with YN and Mera to leave.
“I’ll never get used to that,” he said as they stood in the grass outside the shelter. Mera and Arthur started to discuss next steps if Orm’s punishment was reduced before they noticed that YN had walked away, sitting on the shore. They walked over and sat next to her. She was in tears.
“What is wrong?” Mera asked. YN wiped her eyes.
“It’s selfish and silly,” she said.
“What?”
“What if wants to leave?” YN asked. Arthur looked at Mera and then back at YN. Neither of them considered really that YN wasn’t Atlantean, she was human and wouldn’t be able to come back to Atlantis with Orm. He would have to choose, life on the surface, or under the water. “I know that I can’t make that choice for him, I won’t force him to stay here but if he leaves, a big piece of my heart will be broken.”
“I think he’d go back to Atlantis, at least for a little while, but he would come back,” Arthur said. “He loves you and if there is anything he knows about its loving someone who is far away. It doesn’t go away.” She nodded and they waited in silence for the council to emerge.
“We have decided,” the councilwoman said. Arthur nodded for her to continue. “Orm Marius will be put on house arrest in Atlantis for one year, starting tomorrow. He will attend therapy meetings to speak of his crimes to a professional chosen by the king weekly to work within the new mental health system that has been implanted…”
“One of my better ideas,” Arthur said with a smile.
“…upon completion he will be released to come to travel to the surface whenever he wants, while doing mandatory community service for the surface world. We will send the king to retrieve Orm in the morning,” she finished. Arthur nodded his head in agreement and the council went back to the water. YN stood there, frozen. One year. Would he want her still? Would he still remember his feelings after a year away from her?
“It will not seem so long,” Mera said, putting her hands on YN’s shoulders. “He will not forget you.” YN nodded, but wasn’t so sure.
Once they were sure that the council was gone Orm was released from his fake cell and said his thank you’s and goodbyes to Arthur and Mera before joining YN in the house. “A year?” she asked. He sighed.
“It was agree to that or go back to the deserter prison for five years to take the punishment of escaping,” he said. “I couldn’t do five more years there; I couldn’t do five years away from you. One year is going to seem like torture.”
“You’ll come back, right?” she asked. Orm looked at her, pulling her close and kissing her softly.
“I will always come back to you,” he said.
In the morning Arthur took his away in shackles and YN hoped that wasn’t the last time she saw him.

What do you think are the justice league member's favorite snacks/meals they like to cook/eat?
Dear anon, I am so glad you asked. Allow me to explain
Tumblr media
J'onn - literally everyone is concerned. J'onn eats stuff that's not food just because he can. He will snack on drywall. He eats bugs off of leaves. The actual food he eats isn't much better - his diet consists almost entirely off of processed sugar. Obviously chocos/oreos, but also just the kind of things a seven year old would pack for lunch. Twinkies, sugary cereal, actual candy, donuts, popcorn, chips, etc. He tries, half-heartedly, to insist that Martians nutritional needs are different than humans, but there is literally no evidence to suggest that. Someone in the JL takes him out to eat/brings him food almost every day to make sure he doesn't die.
Wally - only marginally better than J'onn in that he won't eat chalk unprompted. We all know speedsters, they need a lot of food to keep up with their metabolism and energy, but Wally is especially ludicrous in the "will eat anything" category. He will put anything and everything in the fridge into a sandwich, which sounds like a fun thing to ask about, but eventually everyone realizes they just don't wanna know. Also a connoisseur of wild food combos ("icing in chili??" "Hey don't knock it til you try it")
Shayera - A little bit more normal but the bar is in hell so that doesn't mean much. She will try anything at least once, especially on a dare. She also just has an insane pallete for space food. Meals on thanagar were really just anything slightly edible thrown into a trough, so anything that's cooked is fine dining. Also sometimes things that aren't cooked. Raw chicken is one of her favorite snacks - She likes to chew on (and eventually eat) the bones
Bruce - now we're reaching slightly normal human foods, but that doesn't mean Bruce's diet is normal. Honestly, he's just autismcore with a splash of "do rich people really eat that?". His schedule is so fucked he rarely ever has time for an actual meal, so mostly he eats what he can when he can. I have fully adopted the fandom canon that he eats shredded cheese right out of the bag. When he does eat a real meal, it's part of a carefully crafted food schedule developed over decades. He essentially has 31 meals, one for every day - a good mix of recognizable foods and "some guy I traveled the Amazon with made this for me in 1986".
Diana - we have now reached the "can cook" section. One caveat for Diana though, she has no idea how kitchen appliances work. If the oven isn't made of stone she may set something on fire. She's used to the best Themyscira has to offer, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and elaborate feasts. She can't really manage a feast in her apartment, but she knows a good few meals, she eats well. However, she's often too busy to make her own food, so it's like 60% take out.
Clark - this boy eats three square meals a day no matter WHAT. If you sleepover with Clark there will be pancakes and eggs on the table by the time you wake up. He's just a big country boy, his ma taught him well and he uses it. He cooks for himself pretty much every day, the only exception being occasionally going out for lunch during work or picking up a hot dog from a cart (he loves them, no one can understand why).
John - John is your uncle that got really into meal prep. He is religious about his food intake, he only eats the best and has every meal scheduled like a month in advance. He picked up a few recipes from his mom, but he really just picked up a passion for cooking well at some point just to challenge himself. He also eats really healthy, he's known to occasionally go on some weird keto diet that everyone makes fun of him for. He's the kind of person who eats overnight oats. He lectures Wally about his eating habits daily.
So. That was a ridiculous amount thought and effort for a simple headcanon question. This is what they inside of my brain looks like 24/7 thanks got asking <3

In the far past, Kryptonians were a race that was enslaved and genetically modified by the more technologically advanced interplanetary invaders, the Coluans.
The Kryptonians fought and won their freedom and planet back. The tech left behind by the Coluans was used and improved on by the Kryptonians.
In one portion of their rich history, the Kryptonians themselves would go on to be planetary conquerors and settlers akin to Earth’s Roman empire.
In order to have a firm hold of their planet, Kryptonians introduced a mutagen into their DNA that would allow a member of their species to be able to reproduce with an alien sapient species.
The method by which to activate it would be for the Kryptonian to have had enough intercourse with a being that induces feelings akin to love (lust, respect, protectiveness, etc.).
Thus such people’s as the Daxamites came into being.
Later on, the Krypton’s leading government would become replaced by the Science guild. Eventually Krypton’s colonies would become independent civilizations.
Krypton eventually would become more and more closed off.
The mutagen, however, would continue to exist among the Kryptonian populace and at times be activated if only among the lower classes where traditional reproduction still continues as opposed to the Birthing Matrix among the upper echelons.
Lara Lor-Van, whose natural birth caused a scandal within the traditional House of Van, knew of the ancient mutagen that is dormant among Kryptonians.
Not wanting her son to be forever alone on a strange planet, she made sure to activate the gene so that Kal El would be able to father children with the Earthling he chooses.
More than a Earth decade later, a young Clark Kent had left Smallville to travel the world. In part, trying to find purpose again after losing his lover and best friend, Lex, to amnesia caused by an experiment on Krypton tech gone wrong. In another, fleeing from Lex’s father Lionel who was powerful enough to blackmail and threaten Clark to stay away from Lex.
In addition to his heart pain, he was losing his powers and was becoming weaker every day.
He had to rely more and more on Krypto, a dog who was mutated by the green meteorite of Smallville, & Lori Lemaris, a friend he made at the college he used to secretly visit Lex at.
It was only after he was examined by another friend (Immortal Man) he made on his travels that he found out what was happening.
Apparently, pregnant male Kryptonians would lose muscle mass and become more aggressive if they felt threatened. Instead of their stomach distending, their organs would rearrange for the growing baby. This was so that male Kryptonians would be unencumbered if they needed to flee from danger that their mate/family/allies would deal with. It would also discourage the pregnant male from engaging in stressful activities and focus on his well-being.
After an intense labor that eventually lead to Clark just cutting himself open, Conner Julian Kent was born. (Julian was from Lionel’s estranged brother Jules, a lawyer living in Smallville whom both boys loved and respected).
From then on, Clark swore to keep his child safe and to be a strong person Conner could look to as an example.
For that reason, Clark didn’t dare go back home until after Lionel died. In the meantime, he’d learn everything he could: about the world, humanity, & his and Conner’s heritage.
When he could finally return home, Clark decided to take the job offer he got from an editor at the Daily Planet. Because to do the most good, Metropolis, Delaware was the best place. Plus it was the city closest to Smallville aka “little Kansas”.
From there, he would be confronted by the so called philanthropist and man of tomorrow, Lex Luthor.
Having already grieved, Clark saw Luthor for what he really was: an immoral Machiavellian narcissist criminal who hated and looked down on humanity. Who would do anything and use anyone to get what he wanted: being the top of the food chain.
Clark was determined not only to stop him, but to never let him near Conner.
This began a war between a “meddling alien who is a threat to human progress” & “a man who could have done so much good if only he’d choose to do so”.

Finally gotten around to watching the three so far released episodes of My Adventures with Superman (in a way that is Totally Legal(TM) I Swear), and I love it! Its very sweet, very cute, just a really sunshine show with a lot of room to grow and some nice intrigue thrown in right away to let quietly simmer throughout it, very good.
A few noteable things i liked:
* Superman. Supes is...so good here. Just the perfect blend of modern Good Boy Shonen Protag and classic Farm Boy Clark he’s been since the 90′s. He’s a delight. Specifically I really liked how they established how central his “I’m here to help” thing to his character right off. He had a kite stuck on a tree, and his powers didn’t awaken when he wanted to this (very very slightly) selfish thing. A person is in danger? His powers roar to life right away. Pitch Perfect Superman.
* Lois!! She’s such a delight, honestly. Its a bit jarring since I just finished binging the old Superman cartoon from the 90′s, in which Lois is the hardass experienced reporter she’s been in just about everything since the late 90′s, but new Lois here is still very recognizably Lois Lane, the reporter that doesn’t think twice about putting herself in danger for a story, she’s just more puppy dog about because we get Intern Lane for the first time in a while. A thing I really liked about her is that, yeah, she wants to interview Superman for the big scoop...but her initial and main driving motivation for that is that she wants to say thank you to the person who saved her life. That’s just great.
Also also these two are totally a Gohan X Videl Au fanfic with the names changed and I am all for it lets fucking GO.
 A couple things I’m undecided on:
* Fuckboi Deathstroke is...a choice. That’s for sure. I’m really torn because im so used to Slade being this totally in control, always scheming older dude with a rancid vibe you can only get from dating a 15 year old. (YEAH THAT’S A THING, YOU THINK HIS DYNAMIC WITH TERRA WAS FUCKED IN THE CARTOON??? HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW). So him being this young is throwing me. Granted, he’s still a douche, and a slimeball, and he introduces Amanda Waller into the narrative right away and I am always game for The Wall to show up and make things difficult, so I’m in the middle here. Lets see what they do.
* I want to like Jimmy, I do, but there’s just something about his energy that seems too...desperate. I dunno I think he needs a bit more fine tuning with his writing because he’s just a bit...too much for me. Which is not that bad honestly, he has his good moments, specifically when he teases Lois about Clark, but unlike those two he’s too surface level. Sure he and Lois stick around to help people but that’s...basic. Lois is driven to be a real reporter and is willing to stick her head into any bear trap that looks interesting enough. Jimmy is a...conspiracy theorist...lovely.
Okay, real talk, can we stop making conspiracy theorists main characters? Or treat it as some cute quirk? Because I swear these guys are never likeable enough to hold major screen time every episode. I swear if Jimmy says some bullshit about Lizard People I am going to McFreakin lose it.
And just because he’s right about the aliens and meta-humans and all the other shit doesn’t make that gimmick any less annoying! Give the guy something else! If he isn’t Superman’s Pal anymore, okay sure fine shifting dynamics is fine, but maybe give more weight to him and Clark knowing each other since college? Maybe have him visit his folks and show off how much he cares for Clark as a friend more specifically without the tinfoil hat bullshit? Please?
Anyway major nitpick above besides, good show! Go watch it! In a way that is totally legal but is sure to not give anyone in WB any money.

In a waiting room so let me share my BATFAM WITH ANIMAL EARS AU:
- In this universe lets just pretend animal hybrids are semi common in vestigial ways, like, hawkgirl is special bc she can actually do lenghty flights instead of gliding and has her thanagarian strenght but she would blend in much better, cheetah is too much cat to the left
- Bruce Wayne is gotham's catboy prince, with soft gradient siamese cat ears and a very fluffy tail, people love thinking he's playful bc he's a cat, if the shoe fits i guess play the part, show-cat vibes
- ON THE OTHER HAND....BATMAN well, people arent sure WHAT he is but they tend to take the Bat part literally in their theories, he doesnt even need to see u to notice ure there!
In reality, batman is a cat hybrid who rolls his ears like a taquito inside the too-tight cowl's hollow bat ears, and rolls his tail on his leg (he's so lucky his tail is fluffy enough to cover fractures)
- Selina, who isnt a hybrid and just rlly likes cats, does find batman interesting and fun to play with in general but when she finds out he's catboy wayne she's like "ah, yea actually makes sense"
- superbat (shippy or platonic doesnt rlly matter) detail is when clark realizes bruce's ears always hurt after using the cowl he takes up the habit of massaging them post league mission, bruce would be more upset if it didnt work, still refuses to go easy on himself by making the cowl ears wider tho
- not all his family is hybrids but notable mentions are:
- Dick grayson who is a bird hybrid, but not a robin bird! Maybe something like a crane? Im open to suggestions but its necessary to disguise his wings while he's out patrolling as robin, as nightwing he wears cosmetic guards that make his wings look black with blue shimmer
- Jason Todd the dog hybrid! Something fluffy and smart like a border collie, he doesnt realize how fluffy he is until he goes live w bruce
As robin he adapts the character to his own style after he becomes frustrated w using fake wings to keep the illusion of flight up, maybe he cant glide but he can still kick ur teeth in
As Red Hood he follows bruce's ear stressant tendencies by wearing his Egg helmet and keeping them flat on his head and his tail hidden so ppl think he's not a hybrid
- Tim Drake the Owl!!! He just looks at u, like's looking at ur soul. He had to be extra crafty as a kid bc his wings are lightly colored and very fluffy so he had to work to not be seen, makes him rlly sneaky, he needs to disguise his wings as robin too ofc
U just know jason was extra ticked off at bruce finding ANOTHER bird robin, since evidently the land-bound one was not enough (his brain is being mean to him and doesnt bother telling him that stephanie isnt even a hybrid)
Red Robin tim probably has the bad habit of plucking feathers when he's thinking and stressed, he still keeps his wings neat enough so he can glide along w kon el, who is extra happy to have someone to share the sky with
- Cass is a black panther hybrid, very beautiful very powerful. She does the cat stare thing @ ppl, and can read bruce's hybrid habits better than any other member in the family
As batgirl and black bat her cowl ears are ACTUALLY wide enough to be comfortable bc 'do as i say not as i do' is the bruce modus operandi
- I cant decide if damian is also a cat hybrid like his dad or if the gene didnt pass to him and he's the second non hybrid robin and it has to do with his sibling hostility, open to suggestions!
- steph, alfred, barbara and duke arent hybrids but duke is still a meta :)

i'm sure you'll get a million kons so I'M going to say uhhh ma, lois, and jon! just for funsies.
YEAAA LETS GO!!!!
ma first <3
Headcanon A:  realistic
she has a bit of a paranoid streak. it comes from years of raising a child that people would want to take, would treat as an other, and would fear rather than love, if they knew; she never let clark know while he was growing up, but she was always on the lookout for anyone suspicious trying to keep tabs on him. even after she's empty-nesting, she can't quite shake the habit.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
obsessed with aliens. i'm stealing this from you because it's literally SO fun like hsdjdjks someone take this woman to roswell!!!
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
when they told her someone stole kon's body from his grave, she was catatonic for a full day and couldn't speak for another three. losing a child for the second time hit her hard.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
she's lowkey immortal or at least very long-lived. it's fine she's gonna be alive and kicking for a while even if she IS getting up in years. it's fine!
the other two under a cut for length <3
lois!!!! lois lane my friend lois lane!!!!
Headcanon A:  realistic
she's a city girl through and through. she's used to going to new places on assignments, but the first time clark takes her to the farm and asks her if she wants to feed the chickens, she's a little taken aback, and he shows her how. it's one of many points she looks back on very fondly in their romance.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
one time clark turned off autocorrect and spellcheck on her phone and their friends all genuinely thought she was drunk texting the group chat
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
she knows that she would kill for clark, but she also knows that it'd break his heart if she ever did. this can go many ways from here, and most of them can hurt quite badly.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
i just want her to eviscerate tana moon with a shotgun. is that really so much to ask?
AND NOW BABY TIME. JON LETS GO
Headcanon A:  realistic
the jon @ kon hero worship is so real. he has posters, and also he got a cool-looking jacket to try to emulate his cool big brother, and. and. and he may or may not have severely fucked hecked messed up his hair trying to shave it like kon does,
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
this is actually 100% realistic. he steals things from kon shamelessly and kon can't even be mad about it bc he's too cute. jon knows this and knows that's how he will get away with it for life. wow kon that's a really cool looking sweater you just bought! would be even cooler-looking in JON'S closet instead >:3
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
even after kon's alive again, jon does NOT cope well with media in which siblings die. do not let him watch big hero 6. do NOT let him play "brothers: a tale of two sons". (the ending of this game makes him bawl and beg kon to come home. he can't actually click the buttons even if he wants to see the story through. kon has to do that for him, with ttk, bc he isn't allowed to let go of jon at all.)
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
no volcano prison aging up or whatever, obviously. he and damian are besties and damian makes jon sneak him out to the farm when krypto and another dog have puppies. shenanigans ensue. there are super puppies involved.

clark kent headcanons/how I’d put my own spin on him
-Clark didn’t get powers until he was three or four years old. Completely unable to tell he was an alien before then.
-Krypto was in the escape pod with him, and Clark’s first word was babbling Krypton because his parents said it so much. He eventually forgets about this entirely and they just have a dog named Krypto. Clark and Krypto were wrapped in a red Kryptonian blanket. Otherwise, Clark has 0 memory of Krypton
-Clark knows he’s ‘weird’ for a while but isn’t told he’s alien until he’s at least 10 years old.
-No way Clark isn’t a sci-fi nerd. He really resonates with half-humans half-aliens in fiction, even if that’s not exactly his situation. He also has a fascination with astronomy and outer space.
-When he’s a teenager, the Kent’s find out he can’t see through lead. They put some lead in a pair of Jonathan’s old glasses so he stops X-raying things when he doesn’t want to. He has to lower his glasses to X-ray or use heat vision (Like in Lois & Clark: TNAOS). Clark tries on Jonathan’s glasses and Martha makes a comment about how his face looks different. Later on, Clark depends on this with showing his face.
-The Superman suit is styled after Kryptonian outfits. (I love the strongman inspiration from Superman Smashes the Klan but in a 21st century interpretation, I don’t think it works). Clark’s first cape is the blanket he was wrapped in as a kid, but when he upgrades his suit he saves the blanket in the Kent barn. And, of course, his mom made his suit.
-Clark not wearing a mask as Superman so people trust him is canon in most places, but on a similar note, he decides red and blue for the suit so people can see him in the sky, and feel confident he will save them from whatever the danger is.
-Clark generally thinks of himself as human and primarily as Clark Kent. Superman is a thing he does in his free time, it’s not his main identity. He can feel insecure in his humanity or about being an imposter, but for the majority of time, he thinks of himself as human and will sometimes forget he isn’t.
-Clark doesn’t immediately fall in love with Lois, it’s not love at first sight. It takes a while but then he realizes he’s crushing, hard.
-Clark can’t afford a car, and he has told every Daily Planet office member a different lie about how he gets to work every day. He combats writer’s block by flying up into the clouds with his laptop and writing. He makes sure to recycle and keeps up-to-date with environmental news.
-He will laugh, grimace, frown and make other faces for no reason- he’s hearing conversations from around the planet. He’ll laugh at a joke being told in Canada and then the next day look down at the floor in second-hand embarrassment hearing people sing off-tune. Clark can also be genuinely clumsy sometimes, it’s 20% of the time an act and 80% not.
-Clark will fly to clear his head when he’s stressed. He’s gotten spotted doing that in Metropolis with so many helicopters and drones, so he’ll go higher into the stratosphere or into less-populated areas if he has a lot of time to be alone.
-Clark doesn’t need to sleep, but he does usually every night. It helps him emotionally. If he’s stayed up for a week or more, he’s stressed about something.

****************
Clark was stood in the elevator staring up at the sign that showed what floor he was on, groaning to himself for being late. What excuse could he make up this time to avoid being fired or Perry's errand boy for the week. Once at his floor, Clark squeezed passed the others in the lift "Excuse me. Sorry." Letting out a sigh of relief; he adjusted his glasses, tie and hair in the reflective surface opposite the door he just came through. Wearing a muted blue checkered shirt, a black tie and a pair of jeans that hugged his body in all the correct spaces, mostly due to the man's physique. The jeans elevated his glutes, not that they needed to, his thighs and calves. Unfortunately for Clark they also gave emphasis around the groin area. The unwanted attention bulged outwards at his crotch which was often the subject of gossip around the office.
Getting to his seat, he took off his messenger bag and set it on top of his desk before flopping back into his chair. He made it without running in Perry and his top dog. He just managed to log in before noticing half of the office was empty. Looking up over the dividers he peered around the office… Most of the seniors weren't there… The meeting room door finally opened.
"Nice of you to join us Farmer Kent." Perry announced as he came out spotting Clark's desk was no longer empty.
"Morning Perry, sorry I got caugh-" Perry held his hand up cutting off Kent mid speech.
"I don't care for your excuses today, Kent. Not when you volunteered yourself for our annual charity event." Clark looked bewildered at Perry, blinking a few times in confusion. "I think you're gonna love this years theme." Perry walked off with a chuckle. Before Clark could even register what just happened, the bombshell of the office - Lois Lane walked up to Clark.
"I had to save your ass again." She said to him while watching Perry walk off. Ah Perry's top dog. Her gaze then fell onto Clark. "I had to volunteer you. Otherwise Perry was going to toss you out. Consider us even from all the times you've saved me." Not sure being saved from being fired and being saved from falling from a building has the same karma rating, but there's no arguing with Lois.
"Thanks… I guess." He placed his hands between his legs on the chair he was sat on while talking to Lois. "What's the charity event? Not naked painting classes again is it? Don't fancy more gossip about my body around the office." He rolled his eyes. Lois looked amused.
"Don't worry, you won't need to take your clothes off. Unless the date goes well." 'Date?' Clark thought to himself. Almost like she could read his mind she added. "Yep, you heard me, a date. I figured it was time you moved on." It had been a few months since Clark and Lois decided to part ways. With Clark being Superman it made things hard on Lois, with her dating the guy it made her a target to the supervillains that found out their secret. Also Lois was a career woman and Clark eventually wanted kids whereas Lois didn't as she believed the stereotype that a woman's career died after having kids. "…Okay. I can go on a date with a random stranger. Just hope it's not your sister that wins it." Clark chuckled before turning his attention to his desk.
Lois rolled her eyes before they lit up with joy. "Ah! Excuse me. I've just spotted someone I need to speak to and I'll enjoy the reaction from it." Lois walked over to the newest addition to the team. A young woman named Kelly. Clark watched the interaction until the postie came around, handing him a letter. For that split second he turned his gaze away Kelly let out a shriek in terror.
"Not Gotham. It's dangerous, I can't report anything from Gotham other than my obituary." She began to sob. Clark went to get out of his seat, but paused. As he noticed the letter he was handed was stamped with the Wayne family Sigil. Having it take a hold of his attention, he plopped his butt back down and opened the letter to read it.
'Clark, I have to let you know something, there's no easy way to say this. I need your help to protect Gotham. Soon I'll be away dealing with a developing problem that needs my attention. The citizens and thugs of Gotham will no doubt notice my absence. Things will get crazy on the streets. Those that run the underworld of Gotham will no doubt make a power play.
My kids aren't ready to take on Gotham without me. They need someone with a strong sense of justice and heroism to guide them to being the best they can. Only a few will know where I've disappeared to. I'm dealing with the League of Assassins. Talia Al Ghul has a plan that can stop them from destroying the world and needs my help to do it. Some will be annoyed I'm helping her, but her heart is in the right place. You of all people would know what that means in the dark world we live in.
Burn this letter once read.
Bruce Wayne.'
Clark looked left. Clark looked right. He then shoved the letter in his briefcase and rushed towards the exit before being stopped by Lois. "In a rush?" She asked, perking a brow at him. Knowing it was a Superman emergency. Clark adjusted his glasses.
"Got to get myself ready for the charity date." He replied before slipping into the lift, going to the ground floor. Lois threw her hands up in a shrug.
"It needs to be won by a reader first!" She shook her head only to huff. "…Idiot."

I think Jimmy has multiple handles, not all of them connected to each other. he has one that he started in school, for work, consisting exclusively of his own photos, carefully curated to best show off his work. only the pieces he's the proudest of, and then occasional pictures of prints in a home or gallery - most of these self-promotion, but he'll also share pictures from fans who've bought one of his prints. this is on his own website that he carefully maintains. it uses his real name and has contact information, and he takes commissions on occasion.
then he has the normal social media presence someone might expect from his age, using the same name across multiple sites, something cute but inoffensive. these also mostly consist of his own photos, but not nearly as carefully curated, just careful to make sure there's no drugs or nudity, anything that might cause trouble in the workplace, because he lists his professional website right there. a lot of the photos are blurry or badly framed, because they're mostly pictures of his friends, funny signs, cute dogs he saw on the beach. a lot of them get turned into reaction memes even though he only has a handful of followers, and he finds that funny. he doesn't really do a lot with those accounts, though, not even bothering with custom themes. his icons are all unedited selfies.
he has Flamebird, of course. he doesn't attach any of his other social media to it, and he doesn't advertise it anywhere else, but it's not like he makes it hard to find him. he's happy showing his face in his videos, even if most of them consist of footage of other things. there are some topics he'll avoid on there, so it doesn't come back to bite him, but he does his research, everything is as sourced as it can be, and he's not really worried about being accused of journalistic misconduct. he just doesn't want to attract controversy - or at least not based on his other work, because he does have a mirror running on every social media site he can find, as well as his own site.
the one he hides - not from his friends and family, who mostly follow it obsessively - is for that very reason. it's a food review blog. and people have opinions! it started out because he was trying out all the cheap options near school, and wanted somewhere to catalog them all to make recommendations to his fellow students. but he realized that all sorts of people want food that's quick and cheap, but still delicious, so he made a point of going around reviewing all the food trucks and fast food restaurants, anywhere but sitdown places really. prepackaged food from convenience stores, quick microwave meals (as long as they won't stink up the office), sometimes even popular recipes for packed lunch. the only dine-in restaurants he reviews are pizza places, because for some reason, his pizza reviews are the absolute most popular of them all. (he'll go in somewhere and order all dozen of their specials. he takes Clark. there are no leftovers.)
one day all of these collide. the founder of his favorite pizza place, now a small local franchise, is getting an award from the city for feeding everyone after a small disaster, and Jimmy is so excited to see it. so he goes to the ceremony - this guy isn't really famous, so there's only a handful of reporters and he gets a spot up front - and takes a bunch of pictures of this. one of them turns out gorgeous, so he carefully edits it and puts it up on his website - and the city finds it and gives him a small local artists' grant, with his own little ceremony. the pizza guy loves it, and orders a bunch of prints. Jimmy admits that's his favorite pizza joint, and they work it out so he gets rights to the photograph for advertising and such, and Jimmy gets free pizza for life. (don't worry, he promises not to reveal that Jimmy is a secret food reviewer, so restaurants don't treat him any different.) and then, of course, it turns out he saw a Flamebird video he was so happy to learn about, because he knows what's on it is true.

@juicezone the other part of your question!! :D
this ended up getting super long bc i had so many thoughts about various dc characters so hopefully u don’t mind hehe
9. do they identify with any specific labels (regressor, flip, pet regressor, etc.)?
dick- he thinks of himself as a cg! i think he definitely regresses too but it takes him a while to come to terms with it. eventually he gets comfortable with calling himself a flip :]
tim- ooh. i’m conflicted bc i love other people’s regressor tim headcanons a lot but in MY head i mostly see him just being a babysitter sometimes!
cass- definitely a regressor but not aware there’s a word for it yet. she makes a great cg too bc she can instantly tell when someone goes baby mode :D
jason- a regressor! the babiest guy ever. he hates it but it helps him a lot so he learns to work with it <3
duke- maybe regressor? i haven’t made up my mind about about him yet, i need to read more of his stuff :] but i think maybe an older kid regressor!!
damian- regressor! and also a pet regressor, not sure what kind of animal though? cat and/or dog most of the time probably :]
barbara- babysitter mostly! in my head she wouldn’t want to be solely responsible for anyone as an official cg but she doesn’t mind watching someone occasionally! usually cass. and she’s also great for helping out over comms if someone regresses on patrol by accident <3
steph- i picture her as a tween/teen regressor most of the time, like a 12-15ish range! i think it’d be so subconscious most of the time tho that she doesn’t notice or label it for a long time. i can also see her age dreaming to a younger age to play with other small friends!
kon- ooh. a flip! i think he’s already such a mom friend that it’d be pretty natural to take care of his friends. but he definitely regresses too, little kid range mostly! and i think he’d pet regress/dream to play with krypto sometimes too :D
bruce- idk what label he’d use, but i think he regresses around alfred sometimes! i don’t see him being a cg to his kids very often, but maybe with cass or dick if they ask him to :] and he’d take care of clark if needed too!
clark- regressor! he’s just a little guy :D
now for two who aren’t bats or supers (sorry) but i love them so i’m adding them:
cassie- regressor! to me she is a very wild/hyperactive regressor who is very difficult to corral due to her powers, but she really wants to be good! she just gets excited :]
bart- super wild regressor just like cassie, except he thrives on mischief and stubbornness lol. woe to anyone who has to watch them at the same time (it’s usually kon)
