I kinda just love how Tim goes by Cardinal? I’m definitely reading way too far into this but the fact that he picked the reddest fucking bird ever seen. Absolute nonsensical but like the fact that Tim sees every death as his fault because he has the knowledge to stop it and still failed, like with his parents. How even after coming so far back in time he can’t fix everything?? The blood on his hands, the blood he feels practically drowned in? How that’s reflected in Cardinal? The red of the bird like the red on the back of his eyelids, how he’s haunted by mistake he failed to fix? I need to throw out my instant coffee

Jesus christ I need to pat you on the back that is a level of horrific ironic symbolism I hadnt even considered and holy fuck I love it

No no drink more coffee- you're giving me the good shit here and I need you to keep it tf UP

Though if you're asking- honestly?? There are many reasons but the main points boil down to A. I liked the red bird aesthetic for Tim and B. I just really like Cardinals- I grew up seeing them everywhere, always present. Their cry felt like home, and when i talk so much about Gotham as a living breathing city (shout out Victor Hugo my love) it felt right.

Also theres also the Cardinal Flower in New Jersey (aka Gotham state) that symbolizes Distinction which is a big theme of my fic for sure

Little ideas about an angel disguised as a human with their halos.

#1 :

Their halos are jewelry like in Turning Red, how their pandas are hidden away in jewelry. Except it's always a gold or silver band necklace, ring, or bracelet. So when they need to transform or use their halos as weapons or what not they can take it off an spin it on their finger to make them grow bigger and glow brighter until they're their normal size to use.

#2 :

Like Havok, Alex Summers, from X-Men, how he makes his ring powers appear and they slice through everything, the angel can do that to make their halos appear and make them spin fast enough to create a sort of barrier thing like how Celestia used the elements of harmony when banishing Nightmare Moon

#3 :

Shang-Chi. The 10 rings.

#4 :

They're like scars or ringed marking on their skin. Like natural stripes. When needed they can make them appear in any way they want(see the above for ideas).

There's this app called Band and on it you can create "Bands" and set scheduled polls. My team uses these for whoever's gonna be on set to hit accept, decline, or maybe.

Imagine the Batfam using that.

The band's obviously called Batfam and everyday there's a scheduled poll for patrol for the entire year.

Bruce always texts the family group chat this:

"Don't forget to put your availability on the Band app" (Because that's literally what my director does)

So everyone puts their availability for patrol, that makes it easier to hand out schedules, routes, rogues, etc.

Damian: Christmas is a stupid holiday and I know all I will get is coal

Dick, who through a series of miscommunications still thinks Santa is fake: oh buddy, that would never happen

Tim, who has been delivering a pile of coal to the LOA for years at this point: haha, yeah……

I need Jason Todd to have insane stretch marks

Knee to armpit is one huge bundle of them, calves, ass, stomach, chest- literally fucking everywhere

And he’s fat, okay? I’m taking this poor starving-for-most-of-his-life man and giving him fat stores. A belly. Itd be comforting to him I think.

The first time they had to strip him down (for medical purposes) after a mission, they saw his new old body, and the way it had changed. Dick probably had complicated feelings about it- not he wanted tiny, too-thin Robin Jason back, but…

Robin had not a lick of fat on him, and sure he was muscled but not nearly like Jason was now. Jason now had healthy cushion, even the beginnings of love handles, with stretch marks all up his sides from growing a foot overnight in the pit.

Damian: what are those stripes? Is he okay?

Dick: stretch marks. They happen when- when you grow too fast.

Tim pulls up his shirt to show the collection he has on his lower back

Tim: totally normal, though you usually don’t get that many

Dick: well normal people don’t exactly change as much or as quickly as Jay did. Damian don’t bug him about it once he wakes up

*in a group chat* Tim: lol im dying send help Dick: oof same Steph: me af Duke: rip, what's up man? Damian: Good. Tim: no like im legit dying Tim: some guy stabbed me in a mcdonald's parking lot Tim: the lol is habit Tim: *sends a blurry picture of himself dabbing in the ambulance*

Tim on December 23 looking awkwardly at Bruce knowing damn well that he has to put him under 456 trees at the same time and he doesn’t know how

Bruce, after nose surgery: Anyone makes a single comment, I will fry you.

Dick: *giggles, trying to contain himself*

Jason: *unable and unwilling to resist his urges* So you finally got a nose job.

Tim: Congrats, you're finally a Kardashian.

Damian: What is that? A kind of otter?

Jason: yes.

Stephanie: Many women find a broken nose attractive!

Bruce: I'm not talking to you, Stephanie. *gives her a cold mackerel look*

Stephanie: If this is about the Wonder Woman thing...

Bruce to the rest of his kids, pointedly ignoring Steph: If anyone asks, Bruce Wayne is damnably vain and insecure about his looks.

Cassandra: Your body language suggests you're telling the truth.

Everyone: ...

Bruce: The best lies have a hint of truth.

Cassandra: But...it was none of it a lie. I can read you, remember?

Jason and Dick: *trying to stifle their laughter*

Bruce:...fine, I hated the shape of my nose after it was broken for the seventy-seventh time. Sue me.

Jason: You could stand to tuck your chin in a little.

Dick: You're getting a receding hairline.

Tim: Your crow's feet have crow's feet.

Cassandra: I googled DILF and got you.

The Batkids: ...

Damian: Father, being your biological and genetic son I think I need to start saving for cosmetic surgery.

Bruce: ...

Bruce: I hate all of you.

on the note of batfam siblings being more sibling like in fics, i also need tim drake (only child but he has researched sibling relationships) to be almost murdered by jason and instead of being displeased he is just 'ah. excellent. i am being accepted into the family. i should blow up jason's car'

[eggfriedricedwasian]

I think Cassandra periodically goes to each of her siblings and tells them “I know what you did”, every time , with out fail, they hand her some sum of cash, goods, or favors.

Now, she absolutely does not know what they did and isn’t particularly bothered to find out. She could also simply ask for what she wanted but this was more fun and offered more surprises.

Did we all collectively agree that Tim chooses to have a public feud with Red Robin as a way to cover his identity?

___

Reporter, pushing a microphone on RR: What are your thoughts on Tim Wayne's recent kidnapping?

Red Robin, deadpan: He's an asshole cosplaying a feral racoon and whiny bitch.

-Later that day-

Tim, watching the news: Well fuck you too *flips off the TV*

Batfam: *concerned*

___

Bernard, who's publicly in a relationship with Timothy Drake-Wayne, was caught kissing RR on a rooftop. Kon-El, who the world thinks definitely has a thing with RR, was seen carrying Tim back to a penthouse at night.

This leads Gotham city to believe that Tim and RR stole eachother's boyfriend. Thus fuelling another war between RR and Tim on twitter.

It didn't help when a picture of Bernard and Superboy having a date was posted online.

___

Tim: *requested and funded a Red Robin joint to be built in Gotham city *

A video of RR staring at the building offended and distained from across the street went viral.

Tim: ugh

Kon: what?

Tim: I dated Cassie, and she started dating Cissie afterwards

Kon: ...yeah?

Tim: I dated Steph and now she's dating Cass

Kon: good for them?

Tim: why can't I stop turning people gay!

Kon: I ask myself that very question each morning

Tim: what?

Kon: what?

[eggfriedricedwasian]

Gotta say I love me some timkon

[eggfriedricedwasian]

Kon: Robin, why don't you like cats?

Tim: I like cats! I just like other animals better!

Cassie: Oh, yeah? Like what?

Bart: Wild cocks. Wild heterosexual cocks with rabies.

[eggfriedricedwasian]

Tim, tired from a long night of patrol: .....

Kon, wearing nothing but red ribbons: Merry Christmas, Rob. You've been a very good boy. It's time to unwrap your gift. 😚😉

Tim: *walks over to Kon* I would love to so very much...

Kon, skeptical: But...?

Tim: But I'm so tired so just do what you gotta do while I'm passed out on the bed. *collapses on the bed*

Kon: *groans* That's so wrong and weird. I'm gonna get you back when you wake up.

Tim: *mutters unintelligibly*

Kon: *gets out from the ribbons and gets dressed in his pyjamas* Merry Christmas, dork. *kisses Tim on the forehead and snuggles beside him*

Tim, sleep talking: You're the dork.

Kon: What did you say!?

Tim: *snores*
