#Batwoman

Swearing is weird in Wayne Manor. Especially before Jason dies.

Alfred was taught that swearing is impolite and implies that you have a small vocabulary or are dumb. So when he’s in charge of Bruce he, of course, applies those same principles. Once Bruce hits the age where he knows what swears are and how to use him, he introduces a swear jar. Which he thinks is very lenient because he used to get a wooden spoon to the butt at Bruce’s age. Bruce, being a tween, is pretty upset with this, but accepts it as he grows older.

Fast forward and Dick is adopted. Dick’s parents (and the circus in general) swore like sailors, so they didn’t really see the need to limit his use when it’s just them. But when interacting with children, they teach him not to use those words. When he asks why, they shrug and say that some times people don’t like those words, and you can’t tell who’s okay with it and who’s not. So make sure you use those words when you’re with someone who is comfortable with them.

And Dick thinks to himself how much it would suck to have to watch your language with someone 24/7.

Cut to Alfred bringing the swear jar back because Dick is swearing too much for his taste. And Dick is pissed. Because he wants to say whatever he wants, and his parents always let him swear. Alfred allows him a little grace, but for the most part, he will ask that Dick put a dollar in the jar for anything worse than crap or hell.

But Bruce remembers how frustrating it was, so he lets Dick swear as much as he wants when Alfred wasn't around. Even though the swear jar isn't for him, he still doesn't want to risk Alfred going off on him. So long as Dick isn't swearing in school or in front of Alfred, he can say whatever he wants.

But Jason is another story. Because Jason swears in almost every sentence, but the swear jar gives him massive anxiety because of his financial insecurity. Alfred tries to get creative and assigns chores for Jason to do. But Jason is like, not too upset by the idea of taking the trash out, or vacuuming. Until he realizes that it takes time away from his reading. But since Dick is an adult now, Alfred has no say in what kind of language he uses, so he's swearing more often. So eventually Alfred gives up but still doesn't approve.

After Jason dies, all sense of normal is thrown out the window. And with Tim and Cassandra, it's hard to discipline them for different reasons. Tim technically isn't Bruce's child, so it feels a little weird to impose a swear jar on him. Luckily, Tim doesn't swear too much to begin with, because when he was little is mom and a few nannies would wash his mouth out with soap when he swore. Alfred is not happy when he hears that, but again, not Bruce's kid. Cass is just learning to talk with them so she doesn't know a lot of swears. When she does learn them, Alfred really can't get made because it just shows him how much progress she's made.

So thanks to Tim and Cass, swearing in the manor is free reign. Dick and Jason are a little jealous of their sibings that didn't have to get lectures about swearing tho...

mmmm chibi batwoman :3

i think i should make more of these chibi drawings

I think the history of queerness and queer coding with Batman’s villains has always been really interesting even though no one really talks about it because a lot of the villains are either queer coded like Joker or queer in canon the Gotham City Sirens and Bruce honestly fits in there somewhere too depending on the story or writing and it’s good that Tim Drake is bisexual and Kate Kane is a lesbian because it makes the queer villain trope less bias

Tim: "Phew, crisis averted everyone, good work. But remain vigilant."

Jason: "Tim, I swear to God--"

Hi I’m here to talk about Kate Kane.

So if you don’t know who Kate is by name, in short she’s Batwoman.

So Kate is Bruce Wayne’s cousin, both her parents were in the military which caused her to move around a lot as a kid. When she was around ten she along with her mother and twin sister Elizabeth were kidnapped and her sister and mother died. Kate’s father eventually rescued her but it still left her extremely traumatized.

As a teenager Kate tried to enter the military but while in school (I believe it was West Point? Could be wrong about that) she was caught with a girl leading to her being discharged as part of “don’t say don’t tell”

Notably she was in a relationship with Renee Montoya (one of the few non-current cops in the gcpd, and actually ended up becoming the question at one point) when being pulled over by Renee for drunk driving she actually ended up getting out of being fined and got into a relationship

The reason she became Batwoman was because of someone trying to mug her, and while she was fighting the guy Bruce ended up showing up as Batman, eventually leading to Kate becoming a vigilante herself a few months later

This is genuinely just scratching the surface of stuff about Kate, I just think she’s such a cool character and I wanted to yap about her

Anyways dc make more queer Jewish women!!
