everyone please look at this amazing Jayroy piece i comissioned from @sarandco!!!

do you guys think that the batkids ever try and sneak weed into the mansion and Ace the Bat-Hound alerts that he can smell drugs and Bruce is just:

Bruce: I’m not mad. I just want to know what it is and who has it.

…

Bruce: And also where you got it.

Tim: *looking at Steph*

Steph: *staring at Tim*

Dick: I for one am just distraught that my baby siblings are doing drugs.

Duke: *glaring accusingly at Dick* Dick offered me weed gummies my first night at the mansion.

Dick: *offended noises of denial*

Steph: *nodding* He always offers me weed when I visit him in Bludhaven too.

Tim: *owner of the weed that Ace is alerting at* Yeah, he’s real into drugs and stuff. Kept offering me gummies during family movie nights

Dick: Okay in my defence-

Bruce: *head in hands* What did I do to deserve this?

Alfred: *vividly remembers Bruce’s party drug phase of grief* What didn’t you do is the real question, Master Bruce.

the SPEED w which I clicked on that “wayne auto” tag. pls draw more (if u feel inspired) I’ll do almost ANYTHINH

anon, I admire the hustle. it’s a silly thing that lived in the gc for maybe 20 minutes but I might pick at it here and there when the mood strikes. I’m using it to combat work-related dread.

they’re just coworkers. that’s the context.

I think it would be so fucking funny if Bruce and Jason constantly treated Gotham (city) like a real person, and spoke about it in a strange, codependent way. Like, hearing this without a context definitely feels like they are talking about their girlfriends or something. And the rest of the family is, like, concerned.

Dick, just adopted: So, when I was in circus, we constantly travelled around! That's, like, so cool! Will we travel a lot, too?

Bruce, sighing: I used to, but she keeps calling for me. I can't really leave her alone.

Dick, confused: Your girlfriend?..

Bruce: What?

Bruce: Gotham.

Dick: whoa, WHAT

Bruce, sitting with a half-smile and little cake on the table: Good morning

Tim, who only used to see Bruce depressed during the whole year: Woah, it is someone's birthday?

Bruce: Of course. It is her day

Tim: Uh-h... Catwoman's?

Bruce: What? No, no, Gotham's?

Tim: ...What the hell. Sure.

Then Jason comes back, assured that he and Gotham are locked like that. They are besties. Gotham loves him — she brought him back. The rest of the family genuinely starts to think that both of them are specifically fucked up in the head on the level others aren't.

Jason: My life was rough, but she was here when I needed her the most. Her hands cradled me in life — then death. I am so grateful.

Damian, confused: Are you speaking of my mother, Todd?

Jason: Talia is great, but I meant Gotham.

Damian: Gotham?..

Bruce, passing by: Isn't she the best?

Jason: Hate to agree with old man, but, yeah.

Damian: *_*

Roy, staring at Jason, who is complaining on Bruce again after a patrol: Remind me again, why can't you work in another city? Even country. You love France. Move out!

Jason, frowning: There is no way I am leaving her.

Kori, confused: Her? You got a girlfriend?

Jason: ???

Jason: GOTHAM??? I AM TALKING ABOUT GOTHAM.

Kori: ...

Roy: Crowbar crowbar-ed a little close to the sun?

The Batfamily: (Voting to which city/country they want to have their family trip)

Dick, counting down anonymous voices: Alright, two votes for China. Three for Italy. One vote for Spain. And...

Dick, with his eye twitching: Two votes for Gotham. Really?

Everyone: (turn to Bruce and Jason)

Bruce and Jason, synchronically: Okay, hear me out—

My favorite obscure DC trivia lore is that Dick Grayson was a candidate for the Green Lantern corp in a comic issue from way back. Because think of the comedy potential. “Night Lantern” is the only GL Batman likes. Hal Jordan gets shit all the time from Batman, but Night Lantern swoops in cheerfully like “where do you need me” during crisis #515273826 and Batman works with him just fine. Even Bruce himself doesn’t understand it.

And, like, people confuse Dick with Kyle all the time. So sometimes they just go with it and pretend to be each other just to keep the joke running.

Maybe I should draw Jason Todd star sapphire edition

roy harper one day you will be forty-five and nothing you did or said in your young adulthood will matter, one day you will not be defined by your worst mistakes, roy harper one day no one will leave you because you’ve made yourself a warm home to return to, one day healing won’t be a painful, clawing journey but a well worn path that you carved through hell, roy harper one day I promise you will be fine

Honestly Bruce sending Alfred with Tim to boarding school is very funny on the one hand, but on the other hand, knowing that in (some version of) canon Bruce had an extremely abusive experience at boarding school, it also is so sad and sweet. Tim's not his kid, he can't stop Jack from sending him; and even though Tim is older and Robin-trained, the idea of Bruce still feeling so nervous about Tim at a boarding school unprotected so he sends Alfred is... just everything.
