the pevensies discovering the treasure room in the ruins of cair paravel must have been like stepping into their own tomb. here is the ruin of what you were. here is the remnant. here is where they took what you left them with and laid it to rest. here is your funeral shroud, daughter of eve. the skirt is too long for you now. here is the cordial, half-full. they dared not use it to save anyone without your hand to do the saving. here is your bow, still strung, and your arrows, unshot. here is the sword your hand still remembers, and here is the face you have forgotten. you did not die here, and yet still you were buried. what is a legend but another kind of ghost?

What are your fav teen! Parent Bruce headcanons?

Oh gosh who gave him CHILDREN

Very awkward, but kids naturally love him and vice versa

Teen bruce takes the subway, either because he refuses to be the asshole who drives a lambo to Walmart, or just to feel something

He's the patron saint of tired parents, magically calming crying babies in a blink

Kids In his neighbourhood (or any kids really) run up to him like, " Mr wayne can you give us a ride" and he's like ??? I'll do it, but Chris above, don't ask anyone else that

Babysits little Tim Drake (Tim crawled through the doggy door once and never left)

Really patient, but he's a teenager, so Nani from Stitch

"GO TO YOUR ROOOOOM!"

Toddler Dick Grayson: "IM ALREADY IN MY ROOM!"

Oliver calls him screaming at 3 AM on a Saturday, you know, like an asshole, -- " Why do you have THREE children?!"

"I found them."

" ' I found them' is the national anthem for kidnappers!"

Thought Tim to skate, but backwards. Tim thinks that's how all kids do it. Tim is wrong

Sees Dick playing on the chandelier and thinks " normal toddler behavior"

To be fair, he used to babysit Kate. If Dick isn't playing pinata and "interrogation room" with the neighbourhood kids, he couldn't care less

Cigarette mom without the cigarettes

Jason is an angel of a baby and Bruce thinks there's something severely wrong with him. Why aren't you being a menace. Are you sick?

"Alfred, the baby's happy all the time. Set up a doctor appointment immediately. "

Concept: an episode of the Justice League cartoon where the MCs get sucked into a 90s teen movie… powers get reset to when they were that age.

I was rewatching Young Justice and the fact that all versions of Robin are the only one forced to keep their secret identity even with their teammates and friends is usually written off as Batman being paranoid. I think it's more than that, that it's his way of giving the kids an 'out'. If they ever decide they don't want to fight crime anyone they have a safe identity to return to, no obligations.

They are children first, soldiers second. Bruce knows better than anyone the loneliness his job brings and of course he would want better for anyone, especially his kids.

De-Aged Bruce: I got a dog? Cool

Also him: The FUCK do you mean I have KIDS?! WHO in their RIGHT MIND decided that *I* should have CHILDREN???

Honestly!! I used to have the same stance, but it went from “oh god who gave me children” (scared) to “oh, god. Who gave me children?” (Worried and grieving)

Like, single teen dad Bruce. Who’s? A surprisingly competent guardian. Carves time out of his (incredibly stressful) schedule to attend parenting classes.

Scares parents at school nights to their core because oh god this 18 year old is. almost as good as me. good Christ. “Dick has a punching wall. He goes to punch it when he’s angry.”

“Uh. I think you could get him, like. A dummy or something. “

“I could, but I don’t want him to associate objects with human characteristics as outlets for his negative emotions. Yet, at least. “

“…That…Makes sense?”

“I’ll take karate classes with him, I think.”

Whenever I think of parent Bruce, I think about the clip of Princess Diana racing barefoot against other moms at her son’s school ^^

thinking about teen bruce in his training days. thinking about how softness and vulnerability was literally tortured, beat, and groomed out of him. thinking about how SO many gaps about the reason why bruce is the way he is now can be filled if people just asked about his training days. thinking about how bruce sees those days as near-worthless (unless he needs to remember a certain skill/teacher) because it didn’t affect his mission of cleaning up gotham. thinking about how the concept of suffering is so artificial to bruce partially because of his training days. thinking about teen bruce wayne

Bruce Wayne being a proud parent headcanons

Bruce is the type of dad to just endlessly and shamelessly brag about his kids to anyone who would listen. Be it during patrols, galas, PTA meetings, business meetings, hell even JL meetings. The man doesn’t care at all.

Bruce would have a stuffy wallet that’s just pictures of his babies doing wonderful things. There’s a picture of a tiny Jason with a big smile holding a blue ribbon with a A+ on it for winning the school’s spelling bee and right next to it is Damian with a sheepish expression and bright red cheeks, holding an art piece he did that got a 100 on.

Of course what’s in the wallet differs on what Bruce is doing. He’s not gonna pull out a picture of Cass’s recital as Batman, which leads to the rumor of the Batfam wearing their costumes 24/7. That makes them scarier than they were before.

In that wallet, there’s a photo of Dick as Robin smiling with two thumbs up while a goon lays unconscious, a picture of Robin!Tim trying to get a cat out of a tree, and a picture of Signal helping an old lady cross the street while Spoiler holds her groceries.

And of course if said kid is next to him, well expect to have 20 minutes of your time being spent by Bruce Wayne gushing about his little boy. While said “little boy” is like 6’5 and can easily tower over the both of you with a deep voice. And Bruce doesn't even notice (and if he does, he simply doesn't care) and continues with the conversation.

Damian is the most embarrassed by Bruce’s bragging, being unused to this much praise being expressed openly, while Jason and Dick relish in the praise Bruce gives them because Dick is a natural-born performer and Jason is the youngest child at heart who needs to have all of his Dad’s attention on him.

The batkids don't call Bruce dad very often. Sometimes, in jest or in soft moments or perhaps when they're tired and don't want to censor themselves. Bruce turns into mush everytime they do.

But there is one particular intonation in which they say dad, small and scared and absolutely done that has Bruce dropping everything he's doing in an instant to reach for them. He will pick them up like they're little again, stroke their hair and tell them they're safe and all will be right in their world. Their dad has them.

Faulting Bruce for blaming Jason for his own death is just... the worst take imaginable. Not to say it was Jason's fault, or that Jason has no right to feel hurt/angry about being blamed for his own death, because absolutely he should, but blaming a loved one for their death is...natural? It's easy to say that it's not fair to do that, but nothing about death or grief is fair(which btw is the overarching theme of Jason and Bruce's entire relationship).

Bruce losing a child and reacting with an 'ugly' coping mechanism - one that doesn't hurt the dead loved one, and isn't intended to, because they usually stay dead- doesn't make him an asshole, it just makes him one of a million everyday people who are coping with unimaginable loss in the exact same way. Jason coming back to life doesn't negate that, it complicates it- ie both can be hurt, and no one has to be wrong. Yes, abandoning the idea that one can fully moralize grief and viewing Bruce as more than a one dimensional thorn in Jason's side makes it harder to apply fault, but reducing Jason and Bruce's relationship to who was wrong and who was right strips their dynamic of everything that makes it interesting, and should never have been the point in the first place
