I want Duke to be the 'normal one' of the batfam and wayne fam
But like, its a lie, specially crafted and maintained by the Duke himself
After like settling in he noticed the rumours and decided to just double-down
In his hero persona, he acts nice, friendly, chipper, sane but like, he will not hesitate to snap a random muggers neck (possibly paralyzing them) then just fortnight dance on their barely conscious body.
Anytime a civillian catches him, he stops, comes up close to them, whispers "no one will believe you" then uses his power to disappear(people are in psch wards now) and sometimes he'll just target particular people, maybe that one dude that bullied him before he got adopted or some random criminal (he appears with only his head and just stares at them through their windows)
As a foster-wayne, he acts normal around the cameras-mostly
He will just randomly lore drop the craziest thing like
"I remember the time I attempted to cook Damian in my sleep"
and then never speak of the incident again
its even worse when someone else brings up smth weird
reporter- "sir duke is it true you once attempted to sacrifice your brother time on top of a *checks notes* plane?"
duke- "ah yes *looks directly into the camera and give the most detailed answer (as in he will give you the exact humidity of the air but conveniently does not mention how he got on top of a moving plane or survived)* it was a very funny afternoon"
It gives everyone whiplash and he loves it
So headcanon that the holy trinity are like siblings
Cale is obviously the eldest, he is done with life and just wants to sleep, he will never (except in extreme circumstances) directly say that he loves you tho he will subconsciously do things for you.(yes I'm an eldest)
Yoojin is unfortunately the middle child. The forgotten one. His life is relatively good/normal, not too crazy yet not too calm. He is often considered the most boring in the set of siblings (sorry yoojin)
Dokja............ he is the 'special case', the youngest, the most hyperactive, vivid imagination, most likely to get themselves killed, and yet after everything usually the most loved. He is insane
Change my mind or share ur thoughts
guys have u ever seen the same post like, twice?
not a reblog, not the same post you originally saw, not even by the same person,
but it's the EXACT SAME POST
you are 100% sure you read this exact thing 4 days ago but it doesn't have the like/comment you left and you can swear that the op's pfp was completely different
but before you can really think about it you end up scrolling to something new then just...... forget
only to remember it multiple weeks later?
So I was scrolling on youtube right?
And I come upon one of those voice-over Tumblr reads with the Minecraft parkour in the background, right?
It was titled something like 'times batman said 'im fine' (and he wasn't)' right?
and one section was like
'Situation: Alfred hugged him for no reason......
Quote: '...whats wrong'(I read it like a statement{like a statement, not a question}
Batfam note: this one broke us'
and I was like "O MY GOD, THE ANGST POTENTIAL IS ENDLESS"
and so that brings me to the point of this post;
I NEED someone to write a batfam fic (or literally any other team-relationship centered fic! it can be the justice league! I'm not picky) with this exact premise/opening:
*clears throat*
"It had been an unusual couple of weeks since the last scarecrow attack. Ever since Bruce woke up from his fear-gas induced coma, he has been more........ emotional. He would suddenly pull people into hugs or try to have actual conversations with people.... It was weird. And so the collective decision had been made to exact revenge; they had even enlisted the help of Alfred, this was gonna be good.
Someone pulled out their phone to record as Alfred approached Bruce, who was currently bent over the Batcomputer, working on a case. The video was being live-streamed to the group chat. Alfred reached Bruce and enveloped the towering man in a big hug. There was a solid minute of silence. You could see Bruce attempting to process what was going on and failing miserably, his face then hardened as he placed his hands on Alfred's shoulders and pulled the older man away. He then looked Alfred in the eye before asking him in a serious tone
"Alfred, what's wrong."
Alfred seemed to be caught off-guard by the question, this prompted Bruce to prod further
"Are the kids alright/ Are you alright? C'mon Alfred. What happened."
Everyone watching freezed. Why did he looked so worried? So scared?
"Alfred, can you hear me?"
All Alfred had done was give him a hug. Why was he reacting like this when he had been doing the exact same thing?
"Alfred!"
Alfred was the one who was closest to Bruce. The one he trusted and cared for the most.
"Ah. I'm sorry master Bruce, nothing's wrong"
"Then why did you do that?"
Was it really that strange to Bruce to receive affection? A hug? Even from Alfred?
"It-"
They could see Alfred tense up ever so slightly.
"It nothing sir, no need to make a fuss"
Alfred then turned and walked away. Bruce watched him for a while before sighing and returning to his work. Someone heard him mumling.
"Must've been the kids"
Everyone was silent. They had been expecting surprise, embarrassment, or awkwardness, not.... this. That made some people think, when was the last time they initiated a hug with Batman that didn't involve a life-changing or world experience?"
End scene
So I hope someone takes it from here cuz I need to read this!
Headcanon that Batman is the youngest in the (main)Justice League roster.
For proper execution, he must be at least 2-3 years younger than the supposed youngest
This headcanon lives co-dependently with the self-accepted that Bruce also has the most grey hairs in his group
I have also had the scenario of Hal freaking out and Barry having an existential crisis over the fact that the Batman is younger than them play out far too many times in my head
Do with this what you will
art
il use it for refernce for a story later
Hello rapaziada i drew the smilling critters in cute outfits that i think it would suit them :)
I shall be doing my first bat-fam fic (and because of dwindling self-esteem have come to ask you to read it........ if I eventually post it)
There are a base of like 5-6 chapters(arcs more likely) at this point
JL host meet-up for family-unfortunately nightwing heard (at least 20 members shall show up)
JL (maybe GL, Glash or GA) shall make a joke about how the batfam, specifically batman are mentally stable, or if I'm feeling daring/motivated straight- batman is on the floor laughing, wing has passed out, others are.....
A 'mission' comes up that requires all the main JL members- but there's a catch and now half have been adopted
Batfam somehow convinced J'onn to put them in a simulation where they are confronted with Bruce actually disowning them or smth, it gets very personal- angst, maybe fluff?
Batman in a coma- angst
fake/doppleganger batman- more angst
Please dont stop interacting with this so I don't forget
also i need bruce to have a traumatic response to the sound of gunshots(he learns to hide it when fighting crime cuz Gotham)
no-one realizes until while he was a bit too relaxed, Jason shot something (like a target) and he just spirals
plot twist - the JL is there
the angst potential-
imagine everyone just panicking
cuz they are used to angry bruce, disappointed bruce, maybe even the rare happy Bruce
but sad spiralling bruce?
they are used to HIM dealing with other's spirals
I need more people to acknowledge that bruce is not gonna be a great parent, but i'll be damned if he doesn't try
His parents are dead, and as far as I've seen, the only real, not-explicitly-toxic relationship he has is with Alfred, his butler
and remember that, at least for a long while, as much as Alfred cared, he still drew a very clear (sometimes limiting) line between them as butler-and-master
so no Bruce does not know what he is doing with any of his relationships, familial or romantical
and no he probably will never really learn
he's going to make absoulutely horrible, relationship-ending choices, but can you truly look me in the eye and say that any batman does not truly love and value every single relationship he is in (asides from when dc butchers everyone's personalities)
so I need to see more fics like this,
a bruce who tries and fails,
who does not know how to deal with any of this,
and so hides behind a mask or a doof smile, uses his persona to try to deal with it, to try to cope
a broken batman who doesn't know what's wrong with him but desperately wants to fix it, only, if only, just to maintain whatever semblance of love he gets from his friends, his kids
maybe that's why he has so many, desperately searching for any warmth in the innocent's child eyes
fanfic writers where you at?
