No one ever tells you how hard it can be when you can see something your parents can't.

I can see where I'm feeling the stages of grief, where I want it to magically be over.

No one ever tells you, but it's so hard.

Another year passed. You are nine. And you don't know me. But I still think I did what I had to do in order to give you your best chance possible. I will silently wish you a ninth birthday, and one day you might be able to forgive me.

Prompt 116

Give Battinson robins but it’s DCxDP style with ghosts. 

His kids are… technically not from his world and technically not alive either, but that doesn’t stop him from adopting them. Even if he wasn’t aware of them being literal ghosts for the first few hours of encountering them. 

How did they get here? Well, you see, sometimes child ghosts will run into each other, and they’ll form their own little friend groups. Or family groups. Especially if they lack a guardian. Who would tell them not to mess with natural portals. 

Or to kidnap a phantom to play with them, but hey he’s enjoying himself too and has a puppy! The bestest boy!

Bruce was not prepared for some sort of energy-thing to open and spit out a good half a dozen children. Nor was he prepared for these children to all have powers, or for another child (thankfully a teen) to fall into the cave a few weeks later. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #battinson #prompts #Dick died alongside his parents when the line snapped #Barbara died to the mob when her father refused to be bribed #Jason died out in the cold on the streets after surviving for a year #Cass died after escaping her father- training for killing doesn’t always translate to training for survival #Tim died from neglect alone in his parents’ home while it was covered up #Steph died before her mother tried to get help with her addictions #Duke died from an attack in the narrows #Damian died from a ‘trainer’ who wanted revenge against Talia & Ras #Danny was searching for his ghost friends with Cujo's help but tripped #It all worked out though #Bruce sobbing to Alfred: Why are there so many hurt children #Bruce grabbing all of them including Danny: My children now #He gets horrifyingly good at picking up stealth what with his kids being literal ghosts #Gets a bit of a mom sense for whenever they're doing something they shouldn't #Some idiot: I shall kill the Robins! #Batman: #Y'know what the robins deserve star cores #with big bro space core danny #god can you imagine if battinson became liminal lol

So, I had this thought, and I find it unreasonably funny.

B takes in a kid that checks almost every box:

Black hair ✔️

Blue eyes ✔️

Ethnically ambiguous ✔️

Orphan ✔️

But, this child is a girl, breaking the usual pattern of B's kids. (Obviously, there are exceptions, but you get what I mean, the stereotype of B's kids. (Cass, Duke, Steph, etc, fans, please dont come for me. I have a wife and kids /j))

At first, they joke about how close she was to fitting the standard Robin mold.

Later, the kid comes out as trans, and when he does, the rest of the bats' kids slowly turn to B like, "You knew, how did you know?! Do you have some kind of bat-sense for these things?!"

Like this is so incredibly funny to me.

Bonus points if Alfred ACTUALLY knew.

Bonus bonus points if the kid was already super masc presenting, and Damian was under the assumption the entire time that everyone was aware the kid was a boy and didn't quite understand his siblings' jokes.

Bruce tries to get Marinette in his family.

Overall, just choose your ship.

The last is a bonus drawing I think someone requested in discord.

Basically instead of choosing one of the bat kids, Marinette chooses Jon while Clark rubs it in Bruce's face.

UPDATE:

This has turned into a superbat post

They're now married. Jon is happy

Bruce’s expression in the third panel really truly captures the look of a child whose parent is known to be extremely sarcastic but also is entirely capable of the insane thing they just said, so you’re not sure whether they’re being genuine or not.

#alfred pennyworth #bruce wayne #still the batman's grave no. 3 #if it makes you feel better i'm only posting every third set of panels that i actually feel the urge to post #but i really couldn't resist alfred casting judgement on bruce for not being a cocaine addict #relying on modafinil to not sleep. like some kind of AMATEUR. #i love it when they're both freaks. they're so related <3 #i mean not really related. since as we all know alfred has less than no interest in his biological children #his influence is palpable. is my point

you didn’t want to hurt me, i promise

you had demons in your blood, i know this

you carved your way into the house

i carved you out of soap to hold

you were my world, we had our games

and worlds and songs and simple things

a lifetime spent tracing the white dot

a lifetime spent shivering in the kiddie pool

you’ll come home someday, i know this

i’m still your pocket puppet, i promise

maybe a hot take but please don’t have or stop having children if you have an active eating disorder/body dysmorphia (including binge eating, not just restrictive disorders). seriously

thinking you’ll be the exception (because you’re So self-aware, unlike those Other disordered women) and won’t give your dysmorphia/eating disorder to your child is pride before a very slow and terrible fall

it never ever works. you’re never ever immune. i mean, such a huge reason of why there are so many of us now is bc our moms thought the same thing lmfao. didn’t matter how well-intentioned they were. no matter how much they tried to separate Their Problems from Ours. here we fucking are

i know it’s not women’s fault to begin with, but the reality is that those of us affected do incubate, nurture, and pass on the virus in the Current Way of Things

the buck needs to stop here. this isn’t a game. think of all the things your mother probably thought she was expertly hiding from you that you still picked up on and were profoundly affected by in a terrible and formative way. it will happen to you, too. don’t think it won’t.

if you know that you’re not solidly and confidently recovered, you have a responsibility to stop that buck and not actively attempt to create a child who will observe, mimic, internalize, adopt, and inherit your lifelong life-ruining behavior. the selfishness is breathtaking honestly

#eating disorders are one of the most treatment-resistant behavioral issues out there #once they take firm root #this is not quite the same as ‘don’t have children if you’re even a little bit mentally ill’ btw before anyone thinks it is #this is a very specific problem #and it is LEARNED #you cant always protect your child from the outside world influence but you can do something about what your child starts with at home #i am recovered now but i could’ve saved my whole life if my mom hadn’t been dieting when i was 7 #so i started dieting too #bc she was my mom and i did what she did #cuz i was fucking 7 #she never told me what a diet was. i just observed her. #and when she binged EYE binged #i blame her always for my food addiction

What if Billy is exploring the Rock of Eternity and finds a powerful artifact that is able to hold creatures. He does some research and figures out the creature inside is a Beholder! (DnD)

Billy, being a goblin child, decides to use it as a Beholder grenade! (As a last resort!) The next big bad that wants to destroy the world, the Justice League comes together to fight them. Captain Marvel is somehow changed back into Billy Batson but instead of freaking out, he whips out the artifact and releases the monster to attack them!

Batman: A helpless child, I must save them!!!

Billy with the most evil smile throwing a literal monster grenade: ψ(｀∇´)ψ

Batman:...

Batman: They will be my child.

Time for round three of Clone wars headcanons:

-Cody definitely carries around all of Obi-wan’s favorite types of tea on the Negotiator, and definitely always keeps two tea bags on his utility belt during campaigns in case Obi-wan needs tea and lost his own. (The extra one is for him so he can drink Tea with Obi-wan at the fire)

-It’s canon that Obi-wan always loses his lightsaber and that Cody always gives him it back, but in the background Anakin and Ahsoka have definitely been keeping count how many times Cody handed Obi-wan his lightsaber and threaten to tell the entire GAR anytime they want to blackmail Obi-wan.

-Kix and Rex definitely had to beg Ahsoka to wear her season 3 - 5 outfit, maybe even chase her around the Resolute to get her to wear just something slightly more protective. They did try pushing the agenda of amrour later but they pushed their luck and Ahsoka threatened to go back to the tube top she had from the clone war movie to season 2.

-When Obi-wan’s men in the 212th are injured he personally makes sure to have Tea parties with his injured men to cheer them up and give them something to do in the med bay, making sure to remember the favorites of each solider to make them feel a special as Obi-wan always reminds them they very much are.

-Children, no matter which planet, absolutely adore clones, especially ones of the 501st who are close with Ahsoka (because the kids see that they’re absolute softies from how they interact with her), the children will follow the clones around, asking them mountains of questions and begging them to play games with them. One time on a snowy planet some children in a village the 501st was stationed at, charge Ahsoka and the torrent company with snowballs, leading to a village wide snowball fight between the troopers, Anakin and Ahsoka vs. the towns children (and even some adults). The town’s children for the rest of the time the 501st is there, take time to memorize all their names, play with them, share their hot chocolates with them, and give them little presents (bracelets, necklaces, little nicknack stuff like that) to the troopers to keep to remember them. The 501st cherishes the presents from their little friends and always make sure to keep them on them.

- Ahsoka definitely loves climbing on her brothers like trees rather it be to wrestle for fun, climb on their shoulders, and get a free piggy back ride, she does it whenever she can. After or during campaigns she gets really tired on, during hikes to rendezvous point where she’s exhausted on she simply climbs onto the nearest brother’s back on and dozes off. No one ever bothers to complain about it because a. She’s super light and b. the trooper that gets to carry her for the rest of the hike gets to feel the comfort knowing their commander is well and safe with them and trusts them enough to rely on them for safety when she’s asleep.

-Boil and Waxer have walked in on Obi-wan and Cody cuddling before and snapped a picture, and have been provided a lifetime supply of chocolate (curtsey of Obi-wan) in order to keep their mouths shut.

-Ahsoka and Fives have made it their lives mission to prank Echo, Rex, and Anakin as much as possible. Once gluing pink glitter all over Anakin’s hair, earning them refresher duty for a month.

-Ahsoka sometimes goes on hunts when they are on planets with the right kind of animals and environments, taking a batch of clones with her just in case any droids show up. The first time she did this on a mission, she murdered a large animal with her bare hands and teeth, Jesse passed out when he saw all the blood on her face and everyone was horrified. Everyone was excited to eat something other than rations for once but the clones that went with Ahsoka were horrified how she easily and bloodily she murdered a animal with just her teeth.

it is not controversial to say that if you cannot finacially, emotionally provide for a child and/or your genetics would lead to them suffering then you should not have said child.
