Had the thought that maybe i shouldn't have made my Spidersona Hobie's parent figure because maybe in Beyond my headcanon that he hasn't seen his mom in years and thinks she's dead(it's a bit of a long story but she's not)will be debunked but then i realized i can just date her and be the girldadmalemom that stepped up.Crisis averted
i love the idea of the batfam wearing each other's merch cause like. i know they'd be petty about it. usually they'd wear their siblings merch in (kinda) equal rotations, but they'd change it up depending on sibling squabbles or sibling favours.
Tim, walking into the kitchen in a Red Hood shirt:
Dick: TIM!?
Tim: what
Dick: it's Tuesday. you always wear Nightwing merch on Tuesdays.
Tim: oh.
Tim: you stole my last granola bar, last week.
Steph, looking for something in Jason's room: JASON WHY DO YOU HAVE EVERYONE'S MERCH BUT MINE?!
Jason, peeking into the room: i have your merch. in the trash.
Steph: WHY
Jason: you hit me with a blue shell in mario kart last game night. i'm never forgiving you.
Damian, sporting a full-on Red Robin hoodie:
Tim: woah. what brought this on? you usually only exclusively wear Batman or Nightwing merch
Damian: you helped me take that splinter out of Alfred's paw yesterday. Richard on the other hand has recently messed up my painting palette.
Dick, from the other room: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!
Damian: he'll get over it.
Cass, wearing Nightwing merch for the 5th day in a row:
Jason: goddamn. what did Dickie do to get in your good graces like this?
Cass, smiling: he made me a flower crown
Jason: ... that's it?
Cass: it was a very nice flower crown.
Dick, buying seven Signal shirts: One for everyone.
Duke, behind him: Dick, you really don't--
Dick: shhhh, sunshine. everyone will love your new merch.
(they all wore exclusively Signal merch for a week straight)
Bruce isn't allowed to change up his rotation or not wear someone's merch because he immediately gets accused of playing favourites. He'd rather keep some of his sanity, thank you.
Special Containment Procedures: Every member of SCP-AFP both anomalous and non-anomalous are to be left alone as previous containment attempts have proven impossible. Instead, Mobile Task Force Zeus-6 "Story of My Life" is a small monitoring force entrusted to watch over each member of SCP-AFP just in case one ever decides to use their anomalous abilities for nefarious reasons. Thankfully this has never happened once.
Description: SCP-AFP is a family of time travelers, mainly the males of the family which is always inherited. Why only males born in the family have the ability to time travel is unknown. What is also unknown is how they are even able to time travel at all. How the Foundation is even able to know that they are time travelers is at all times the males of the family emit low levels of TD partials. These partials are known to allow one to enter different points in time when harvested and controlled.
Unlike traditional time travelers like Group of Interest: The Brown Family, or Person of Interest: Dr. Who, the men of SCP-AFP do not need devices to time travel. They are completely able to manipulate TD particles on their own though as stated before, how they do this is unknown. It is also unknown if when one member of SCP-AFP changes time then how it will affect other members of SCP-AFP if at all. It seems that members of SCP-AFP can only time travel to times where they lived. Furthermore, it is believed that their power is based on multiverse theory, meaning that if they were to change an event in their lives before someone was born then that child will either not be born or replaced entirely but a different baby. Though because of the Foundation's limited direct contact with SCP-AFP this remains a theory.
SCP-AFP was discovered in [data expunged] though it's believed that they were discovered much earlier and the events of it happening were altered by them. Through the decades the Foundation has made several attempts to have members of SCP-AFP captured but all attempts failed miserably.
One attempt was where Foundation staff grabbed a member of SCP-AFP, put a bag over his head, and put him in a metal coffin to suppress his powers. He ended up anticipating their every attempt at ambushing him and got away. Another attempt was when the Foundation attempted to use the non-anomalous members of SCP-AFP as hostages. Each time an agent tried to grab one they got a heads up by the anomalous family members and got away. Then there was the most recent attempt to drug them while they were sleeping and dragging them away then. The one targeted ended up sleeping with a shotgun that same night. Thankfully the Foundation reconnaissance team noticed this right away and called off the mission.
Eventually the Ethics Committee called off any future attempts as it was concluded that the SCP-AFP instances were no threat to humanity, its normalcy, and by extension the Foundation. As such an agreement was made to leave the members of the SCP-AFP alone. Additionally, the Foundation gifted them with compensation money of £9,500,000 as an apology for all previous containment attempts.
Update 2018 - After the [data expunged] incident it was confirmed that on the year 21[data expunged] a member of SCP-AFP will get married to [data expunged], a member of Group of Interest: The Brown Family. Despite the fact that it hasn't happened yet, there are some members of The Brown Family that have friendly ties with the family of SCP-AFP in the modern time. Though there is the possible hazard of two time traveling families coming together. The Foundation continues to uphold its end of the agreement by leaving SCP-AFP in peace. Breaking this peace might very well lead to a worse scenario hence why SCP-AFP is labeled as Object Class Archon.
Getting a PHD literally anywhere else: Wow! Congratulations! What a great achievement! Amazing!
Getting a PHD in Gotham: Wow! Amazing! You're now on several Government, Civilian, and Bat watchlists.
So if any of the Wayne kids get a PHD, then the entirety of Gotham would be squinting at them suspiciously. They're rich, so resources, and most likely already insane with all the shit they pull.
What I'm saying is if Jason went and got himself a Doctorate in Literature, the whole city would anticipate the appearance of his villainsona called the Dead Poet(emphasis on the dead) or Bookkeeper or something else similarly nerdy and themed like that for sure.
I just know that it would turn into some Gotham inside joke with memes abound, and everytime Jason would, I don't know, give more funding to the neglected Arts Departments in Gotham University, or go to a school for read alongs to encourage kids to read, Gotham social media would go crazy and be like:
"The Dreaded Villain Dead Poet Reads Alice in Wonderland to Children! How Despicable!"
"Villain Dead Poet Lambasts Government on Banning Books! Leads Librarians to Riot!"
"Dead Poet Ramps up his Villainy by Establishing Educational Programmes in Crime Alley! Uplifting the Poor! What a Dastardly Villain!"
"Dead Poet Goes on Live Ranting About his Favourite Books! Favourite Author is Jane Austen! Is this the Feminist Agenda?"
And so on! It's a meme that refuses to go away. His siblings actively participate, and make the situation worse.
Dick held an online Gotham Villains and Anti-Heroes Poll and Dead Poet came out on top, over Red Hood. Jason is an actual Gotham crime boss, but his crowdfunded villainsona is more popular. No he's not salty about it at all.
Duke would create a montage of Dead Poet sightings.
Stephanie would make a Dead Poet meme compilation.
Tim would arrange Wayne Enterprises to donate to local libraries after allegedly being threatened by the heinous villain Dead Poet. (Jason did ask Tim to do that but not like that)
Barbara created an extremely popular Villain Watch account for Dead Poet.
Cass tweeted out Jason's favourite books as the villain Dead Poets reading list telling people to avoid them 'wink wonk', causing a massive uptick in the sale of those books ala Bigolas Dickolas.
Damian of all people tweeted out a pic of Jason playing with Alfred the cat accusing the evil villain Dead Poet of attempting to kidnap his cat.
And thats not to mention all the shenanigans they pull in their batsonas.
God bless Gotham and it's home grown, organic, not even remotely ethically sourced, free range chaos.
