“Before Clocking In, I Was Doing My Weekly Recap On The Dent Case In The Archive Room And I Found Some

i do think sometimes about the core concept of batman being parental in nature. the thing is, batman is a child’s idea of what the world needs; bruce wayne at eight years old lost his parents, and that safety that parents provide, that protection. he lost that, and missed it so dearly that he resolved to do nothing for the rest of his life but give that protection to others. and if you think about his methods, they’re really 90% show - the cape, the cowl, the attitude, the voice, that’s all a carefully crafted act. it’s like how elephants will fan their ears to appear larger, or cats will fluff up their fur, or puffer fish will blow up like a balloon: it’s fear tactics. batman tries to scare criminals off, first, because his focus is the survival of the victim. it reads like an angry parent running off threats, because that’s exactly the thing bruce had wished he’d had. and you know what i never would’ve thought i’d be here making posts that boil down to, “batman is trying to be gotham’s dad,” but you know what here i am doing exactly this don’t judge me i’m doing my best

civilian tim au where he ends up being close-ish friends with the waynes (being one of the few non-corrupt rich folk) but every conversation ends up with him Desperately trying not to let them know that he knows. like / socialite: oh, cass darling! how'd you break your arm? // cass: skiing. // tim, who knows Damn well poison ivy broke batgirl's arm last night bc He Was There: haha what a life you live cass anyways-

AU where Tim has known who the Batfam are the whole goddamn time and pretends all his life not to know.

And the family all love Tim and will only go to the galas and shit if he’s there because he’s Nice and Sincere and seems to always give good advice as an observant third party. And if they ever need a favor or whatever from him he’s all “No problem!” Doesn’t ask too many questions. Gives them the benefit of the doubt. Just a true friend. One time Cass said “cause a scene” and Tim didn’t even ask why, he just comically tripped and knocked over the nearest ten foot ice sculpture.

So of course the batfam all secretly want him to know the truth. Like, yeah. It’s against the rules but Tim is their friend! He deserves the truth! He’s so trusting and honest with them and it makes them feel so guilty. Like everytime someone cancels lunch plans w/ him cuz of crime, he’s always so cool and understanding?? And they all feel so bad lying over and over to poor Tim who just naively believes them

So then individually all the batfam have the idea to “accidentally” let it slip who they really are.

One time Dick got “caught” wearing his Nightwing outfit and Tim was just like “Holy shit! Nice outfit! Way better than my Halloween costume” “Halloween? Tim, it’s August.” “Right? So cool that you’re into it enough you’d plan so far ahead” “uh. Yeah. Okay. Halloween. Sure”

Damian is at a gala when he curses and walks off to the bathroom, dragging Tim along with him, telling him he needs help resowing his stitches

Damian’s shoulder has a bite mark taken out of it courtesy of killer croc. Damian tries to explain, come clean about why he has this horrible wound,

“Drake. I’m sure you must be wondering why I have-”

“Oh, no. No need to explain. I know you love animals. And if you happened to break into the Gotham zoo to try and free the alligators and accidentally got bitten? Well, I’m sure Bruce doesn’t need to know”

“…yes. that is… exactly what happened. Truly, Drake, your detective skills are adequate. Even impressive”

“Don’t go all sappy on me here, Damian”

“-tt-”

I made a quiz, its 36 questions, and y’all, I play-tested this, I got feedback, I hyper-analyzed, its good. I wasn’t like, I was gonna just let hogwarts houses die but apparently y’all be like,,, not knowing what a slytherin or hufflepuff is no shade and if all these quizzes are gonna ask you this question anyways: this is it. Idiot tested. Idiot approved

Have a great day today.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.
