. . . AU where Bruce has no clue what Tim's identity is, and by that I mean Tim shows up one day in a homemade Robin uniform with gadgets he bought in pawn shops and stuff, just showing up and telling Bruce "I'm Robin now, get over it." And that's that. Bruce tries, he does, he tried to track Tim, stalk him, tried to swipe some blood once, but Tim is good at this secret identity thing.

(Tim once took a tracking device and dumped it in Gotham harbor after patrol just to watch Batman from afar search all night for the little chip, only to realize he's been played.)

Look, I think it's neat.

Bruce: Who are you?

Tim, in his homemade Robin suit, a literal twelve year old: Robin.

Bruce: No, you're not.

Tim, pointing to the hand stitched 'R' on his chest: Then what's this?!

Bruce: Desperation, now go home.

Tim: Nope, can't, you're sad and depressed since the last Robin died. I'm here to fix it!

Bruce:

Bruce: How do you know about him?

Tim: I know everything, Bruce.

Bruce:

—

Dick: B, wtf!?

Bruce: I didn't agree to this! He just shows up on all my patrols! I can't figure out who the boy is...

Dick: Are you saying you've been stumped by a literal child?

Bruce: Hrn...

Tim: He tried to implant a tracking device inside of a COOKIE! >:o

—

Bruce: You're not trained.

Tim: Yes I am.

Tim, throwing a batarang that sets off a car alarm: . . .

Bruce: No, you're not.

Tim: Am too!

Bruce: You kicked Riddler in the crotch as a defense mechanism.

Tim: Your point?

—

Bruce: So, where's your parents?

Tim, with a dead Mom and comatose Dad: Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy?

—

Dick, doing literally anything:

Tim: Wow :o

—

Bruce, holding up a bō staff: This is a weapon, I am entrusting you with it.

Tim: Where's the tracker?

Bruce: No tracker. I need you to be able to defend yourself if you're going to be following me. Gotham isn't safe for kids, especially ones in those colours.

Tim, taking the bō staff: Yeah, I know...

Bruce: Good...

Tim:

Bruce:

Tim:

Bruce, walking away: Go home.

Tim, following him with a big grin: Nope!

hi!!!

AU Idea: fae!tim drake who very specifically treats promises as sacred. why? the ✨angst potential✨.

plus all the other stuff with tim being a fae, but i had the idea abt promises specifically

Hi!!! 👋

Fae!Tim has my entire heart and soul. The promises side of this is a wonderful addition. So, let's get into it ^^

For this AU, let's say Tim can lie. He's fae, but he can lie. The only issue he has (and other fae have) with lying is that it's painful, considered rude, and fae can usually tell when someone is lying to them. The pain and offense of the lie increases with how great or important the lie is.

The fae, however, keep this as a tightly guarded secret (that they can lie and that lying hurts them). Barely any non-fae know about it.

Unfortunately, Tim found out the hard way that not keeping promises, even when he intended to, counts as lying to their biology. He was in a considerable amount of pain when he found that out the hard way. Perhaps there's even a magical binding element to promises where he has to keep them or pay some price.

Tim thus very rarely makes promises. He doesn't do white lies, and he won't say comfort lies/promises of "you'll be alright." There are loopholes he utilizes, and he is very good at misleading or misrepresenting himself.

Nobody else in the batfam is fae. Only Tim. So, the Bats do not know that Tim can lie. Because, again, he rarely if ever does and it usually causes him pain.

The Bats do know that he's very careful with promises. Perhaps there was a moment where someone tried to use promises as a way to guarantee Tim would do something (like take care of himself), and Tim was hella pissed off for this.

Anyways, I think the others would have varying opinions about promises. Some say them off-handedly, some try to only mutter them in serious or important moments, and some try their damndest to uphold any promise they make.

The only batfam member to take it as seriously and sacredly as Tim is Damian. Whether that's because of how he was raised or because of his nature (dragon, angel, siren, or whatever), is up to you ^^

I just like the angst and relationship potential of Tim and Damian, who start off as enemies, learning to trust the other when it comes to promises. This one aspect they see eye to eye on.

Lantern Corps Language Au

I’ve been thinking more about my Lantern Corps Language Au and started getting the basic idea more together then it was in my one post where hall gets doused with truth pollen or something.

Okay basically all the different Lantern Corps share the same language (just to clear that up) and this language is a mix of a bunch of alien languages in part due to how many cultures mix in the corps. Since humans have barely ever been in the corps there’s very little earthen influence so far but with how many lanterns are coming from earth… Anyway!

So each corp has different accents that they tend to speak Lantern in, and the language sounds sorta similar to earth music? Each accent sounds like a music style (haven’t completely decided but think angry music=red and stuff like that?) and changing corps doesn’t change the accent directly (if you moved from America to Italy would you gain an Italian accent? Probably not immediately!).

Unlike most alien languages where they speak their normal language and it translates to the one they intend lantern is actually spoken (for beings that have vocal capabilities), and has to be learned, but new lanterns do automatically understand it even if they have a bit of trouble with telling the tone.

Logically humans shouldn’t be able to speak lantern because some of the required sounds to speak it aren’t possible for humans but depending on what you like you can either say that A: the ring helps with any impossible sounds or B: you also headcannon that joining a lantern corp leaves permanent changes (which is another headcannon I have but that’s not important for this post-) that allow for this

Tone is REALLY important for Lantern, the same direct translation can mean wildly different things based on the emotion behind it. In the written version this is represented by differently colored ink (and if I’m not lazy for the vocalization as well). Also the tone isn’t only verbally communicated but also sort of projected? This ties in with one of my other head cannons that being so entangled with the emotional electromagnetic spectrum allows lanterns to vaguely feel the emotions of those around them and project their own-

Along with a verbal version, a mental ish version, and a written language, Lantern is also spoken in several other ways because not every species is gonna communicate in the same way as humans. The most prominent of these is a ‘visual’ version that utilizes the lights on their suit to create different colors and brightnesses (almost a sort of Morse code/sign since limbs are sparingly used to further the meaning).

Anyway the last point I have for now is that because there are so many requirements and details with Lantern it’s extremely hard for a non lantern to learn (if they even know about it, which most don’t) let alone speak. The only species I can think of that would be able to speak lantern semi easily would be Martians…

Oh also if anyone likes this I’ll expand on it someday with my headcannoned culture that lanterns have developed lol.

Enjoy a doodle page~

If chaos was personified I think it would be Damian. Tiny child filled with rage and equipped with far too many weapons.

They look SO CUTE altogether!!

I love this au so much. Bats on thrones makes me so happy.

[domnorian]

It was supposed to be just Conner as an adult. But I got a little bit carried away...

[reginalusus]

Might have to click for detail.

Terrible and fucked up AU where after Harvey kills Jason's dad for being a dick, he becomes his new dad(s). (This is just an excuse to draw Harvey with baby Jason).

Bluesky Ko-Fi

[shymaru]

He was quiet for a minute before slowly nodding and laying back down. As much guilt as he felt for even having to be there and trouble not only his father but also Jack, the headache was rather bad, and getting worse by the second, on top of the other aches and pains so resting was all he could do. Even if he was going to make up to the both of them for putting them through this.

"...Y-yes."

@yellowskinnedwackyman

Jack kept his hand on his shoulder. "Shhhhhh nooo, we can discuss this later. Right now we're focus on you recoooperating. Do you want me to ask the nurse to get you some aspirin?"

[marsantiquity]

Jason and Damian have dinner at Roy and Lian's place :))

How would Bart and Conner react about Tim's death in the Body Swap AU? Would Tim tell the truth to his Best Friend?

Post referenced here!

Oop. Would Tim, self-sacrificing Tim, tell his friends the truth when facing their grief?

I'd like to think that, even if Tim didn't tell them, they'd find out.... But in a horrible way.

See, Kon and Bart would be watching Batman and noticing slight irregularities in his behaviors/movements. They'd notice how he reacts to Tim's name, how he's not trying to detroy Gotham in his grief like he did for Jason, and that he reacts weirdly to them.

Thus, they assume that there's something more to "Tim's" death that "Bruce" is hiding.

And then it kind of just blows up from there.

Jason Version

Dick Grayson as Robin, who was taught to slow down his breathing if he was ever scared or trapped to reduce how much oxygen he wastes. It also lowers his heartbeat and makes him harder to detect.

Tiny, terrified Dick who's trapped in a half collapsed room, tears running down his face, but his breathing is like he's asleep, slow and even. The scans the GCDP do fail to locate him, his heat signature not enough to be conclusive, and his heartbeat too slow to even pick up. They move on. Leave him behind.

It takes almost 30 minutes for Bruce to locate him. 30 slow, gruesome minutes. Seconds tick by and all Dick can think about his Bruce's training. Breath in. Hold for as long as comfortable. Breath out. Over and over again until his racing heart is almost still. Until he fools the world that he's dead. Until he fools himself.

When Bruce pulled Dick out, he worried for a moment the boy was actually gone. Only for Dick to perk up, clinging to Bruce's shoulders, his heart rate speeding up, and his breathing becoming sporadic as he finally lets himself panic properly.

Joker Jr. au comic thing and also Kon is there because I love drawing him

[dc-gotham-instincts-wild]

Smol Au where Bruce heard one 1 detail about Tim’s home life and immediately went into Bat-Dad Override Mode.

Like, imagine Tim offhandedly mentioning something like, “Oh yeah, my parents used to forget I existed sometimes. I once had to fake a break-in just to get their attention.” And Bruce just freezes. Cue the world's longest internal monologue:

"Wait. What. What do you mean 'forget you existed'? What do you mean 'fake a break-in'? TIM, WHAT DO YOU MEAN—"

And the next thing you know, Tim blinks and—boom, Brucie Wayne has casually committed legal theft.

Paperwork? Done. Custody battle? There was none. Jack Drake? Doesn’t even realize he’s been replaced yet. Bruce just pulls some billionaire strings, has Alfred pack up Tim’s things, and suddenly Tim legally belongs to the Batfamily (As if he didn't emotionally belong to them already)

Tim: “Wait, what?” Bruce: “You live here now.” Tim (Scared of Jack): “But my father-” Bruce (Hugging him): “No. I'm done seeing you go back to a place where they don't care.”

Meanwhile, Dick, Jason, Cass, Steph, and Damian are in the background, going absolutely feral over the fact that Bruce didn’t do this sooner.

Dick is so happy he picks Tim up and swings him around like a ragdoll.

Jason takes the opportunity and breaks into the place and steals the expensive stuff that Tim mentioned he liked.

Cass just smiles and nods approvingly before immediately making Tim do some ridiculous high-difficulty sparring because "You are true family."

Steph is thriving because she’s been screaming about how her twin deserved better for years. More chaos fun for them now.

Meanwhile, Damian is pretending to be normal about it.

He’s sitting there like “Hmph. This changes nothing.”

Internally, he is losing his mind. “Father should have stolen custody a long time ago.”

He spends the next month being extra insufferable about Tim’s new legal status but also follows him around just a bit more than usual.

Then Duke shows up later, and the other Batkids make sure he gets the memo.

Cass just hands him a file labeled “People We Hate.” Jack Drake is at the top.

Jason corners him like “If you ever see a Ouija board, we’re using it to haunt Jack Drake.”

Dick just gives him the reasons straight

Steph just mentions it once or twice.

Damian openly insults Jack at a gala

By the end of the week, Duke is fully briefed and casually says “Screw Jack Drake” at the dinner table, earning an approving nod from Jason.
