I think we should look into Bruce Wayne’s garden people

He’s rich with a BIG ass property

Someone needs to cut that grass, fix up the flowers, trim a few trees, help the vegetables and fruits not get tangled, make sure the grave-yard doesn’t get overrun with weeds, etc etc

And, well, Alfred is getting a little too old to stay out in the sun that long/doesn’t have time with … other duties

Bruce would loved to, but as both Batman and running WE, he can’t

And his children definitely won’t do that thanks

He has no option but to hire a company

Do they find out he’s Batman purely by making a wrong turn with the mower? Yes. Do they say shit about fuck? Nope. They’re just happy that this tiny ass company that had like 5 people (3 related to the owner) is getting sudden hires/interest by others to actually say anything to anyone about Mr. Wayne and his kids’ activities at nighttime

(Also, points that they just Like It there cuz “WE employees don’t lie. Mr. Wayne is the best employer by far. We even have physical therapy covered if we happened to pull something on the job.”)

Dick thoughts on the mind lately

[ghost-bxrd]

What do you think would be the best (read, most hilarious and/or most traumatic) way for the Owl Song Titans or JLA to figure out what exactly the Talon part involves?

Apart from all the horrible little details about his life Dick lets slip over the years, I think the one that genuinely makes them “what the fuck” is if Dick casually gets killed in front of them.

And I’m not talking hypothermia hibernation state killing, I’m talking about shot-in-the-head-dead, or casually getting run over by a truck, or even having his neck audibly snapped.

You see, Bruce and Jason totally know Dick is gonna be fine. At this point into their careers, they’re more exasperated about Dick’s lack of self preservation than anything. Jason totally witnessed Dick walk into oncoming traffic more than once just because he saw an “on sale” advertisement for his fave cereal across the street.

Usually Dick just sits back up and keeps going like nothing happened. Broken bones are a hassle, sure. But his pain tolerance is genuinely concerning, so…

Anyway, Dick’s mischief extends to everyone who doesn’t know about his unique condition, so instead of sitting back up and laughing it off like he usually does, he plays dead for a moment. (Reader’s choice of it’s with the JLA or the Titans.)

And everyone is freaking out because, omg, Talon/Nightwing is dead. Omg. OMG. Someone watch Batman, he’s about to lose it. No, [insert name], CPR isn’t gonna cut it for a frigging head shot-

And then Robin just jams his hands into his hips and— nudges Dick with a boot. Repeatedly. Launching into an entire essay of how he’s gonna revoke cereal privileges if Dick keeps doing this shit and giving him a heart attack because “you totally could have dodged that you stupid bird” and then just devolving into angry hooting and chirping and-

Oh no. Robin’s lost it. Batman is about to-

But Batman just sighs, turns away, and proceeds to begin cleanup duties and-

Oh, okay. This is worse. They’re in denial.

But then Nightwing sits up with a pout because, oh no, Robin is totally serious about those cereal privileges now, and he’s NOT risking that.

Everyone screams. Someone faints.

Dick grins.

Bruce definitely regrets allowing Dick to choose how he goes about disclosing his Talon secrets to the others.

I know that this moment has been talked about ad nauseam, but for some reason I have only just now realized how much of a dick joke Michael is making here. Like, full-on heavily implying that he and David have actually "touched tips." 👉👈 And then you have David there completely aware of what he is saying and smiling beatifically because he damn well knows it's going to fly right over people's heads. I need to lie down...

[ragnarokhound]

For the au ask game!

OKAY I wanted specifically to get to the pokemon au from the ask you sent, it's been cooking a bit so it's time to see what comes out of the oven, so... @azol-otl ty for the ask!

Crossover au's are all about the fused worldbuilding for me and speculating on how characters from universe A would fit into universe B heehee hoohoo - and for Batfam especially it's fun to think about the equivalent of their roles as vigilantes! What kind of people have the same level of celebrity, the same sideways seeking of justice?

Naturally this leads you to the gym leaders because a) it's the most fun and b) they are like. Quasi-law enforcement/educators/professional athletes depending on how you try to translate the innate child's perspective on the pokemon universe into something that makes sense as an adult lol ilu pokemon. [insert 'compels me though' gif here]

SO with this in mind, here's 5 fun facts (that are mostly backstory lmao) from a jaytim pokemon au I would write

I'm deeply ill about pokemon so this one goes under the cut lol:

Jason Todd used to be the Champion. He won the role after Dick Grayson quit a year or two before (Dick had been getting older and chafing under the League rules - meaning he'd been chafing under how Bruce ran the League) and was a fierce competitor who didn't believe in going easy on anyone. His Houndoom was a force to be reckoned with, and despite running a mostly Dark-type team, his Honchkrow cleaned up anyone thinking their Fighting-types could sweep. He looked after the League and Gotham with a cocky, self-assured attitude and the win record to back it up. .

Jason disappeared suddenly at the age of 15. Many assumed him dead, after a Rocket (Or whatever Gotham themed gang name we want to go with lol could be Team Joker) bombing in the area he'd last been seen, but he's officially declared missing. Bruce Wayne took back the duties of interim Champion as he once did for Dick Grayson, but he's not quite the mentor he once was. It's obvious he's grieving, and that he doesn't want to mentor any more twelve year olds. Dick signed up to be a Gym Leader shortly after this, returning from his trip about a year early to help out in the chaos following Jason's disappearance. .

Enter Tim Drake. Tim's gym challenge wasn't all that interesting in the circuit at first; he had a rocky start and had to retake a few gym challenges. He wasn't exactly sweeping on his first try every time like Jason had done. He didn't have the meteoric rise that caught the Champion's attention early, didn't get one-on-one mentorship or face-to-face meetings, cautionary advice and congratulations all rolled into one from Bruce Wayne himself - but Tim had patience and grit, and he paid attention. He was gunning for the Championship, and it wasn't just so he could prove himself. Team Rocket/Joker was still out there, and Bruce needed all the help he could get. He was always better for Gotham when he had a Robin. .

Dick had been nicknamed Robin for his all-Flying-type team and especially his Natu-then-Xatu; Jason followed up with his Murkrow-then-Honchkrow; Tim's Rookidee was one among many (Robin-esque pokemon were popularized by Dick and the trend remains through Tim's day) so he wasn't considered a possible Robin successor until it was a Corvisquire and he was about to face Dick Grayson himself, a badge away from Victory Road. By then, Tim and his team were a well-oiled machine (he runs mostly Steel-types lol but also Normal-types for the unexpected adaptability and the 'underestimate my rattata i dare you it's in the top peRCENTAGE--' of it all. FEAR.), and his loss-record had all but frozen while his win-record ticked higher and higher. .

Shit finally goes down about three years after Tim has become Champion and all but bullied Bruce into mentoring him (he basically said 'if you don't watch me, i'll go find Team Rocket/Joker on my own' and triggers all of Bruce's child endangerment traumas simultaneously) and the mysterious Rocket/Joker leader Red Hood shows up, bringing the gang out of the shadows in pursuit of a hidden agenda. Identity shenanigans and "wait is that a Houndoom? But he's only been using Ghost-types, it CAN'T be..." and heel-face turns abound. .

(BONUS FACT: Something something, Jason went into deep cover with Looker or whoever he is, that Interpol guy from X & Y (WAIT. LOOKER MIGHT ACTUALLY BE TALIA AL GHUL IN THIS AU HOHOHO), infiltrating the Rocket/Joker gang and going public as Red Hood is the first step in the last phase of the sting. Cue a million tense Jaytim interactions in which Tim is legitimately trying to take Red Hood down and Jason desperately tries to shake him so that he doesn't do anything that forces Jason to blow his cover. There is at least one 'tugged into a tight space to hide them both from the actual bad guys, "wait, did you just HELP me...?" "Think whatever you want, babybird"' interaction because I am a slut for the first sprinkles of a redemption arc that is rife with UST fufufu)

On the train zooming! Might as well have wore a scuba suit with the weather though, going to go charity shop hunting for a cute waterproof trench coat so with me luck!

what kinds of pranks do Sonic and Scourge do?

Pretends to be good at coming up with pranks for the sake of this ask

Honestly just think of every time Sonic has pretended to be dead or that a situation is hopeless, only to turn around and be like "lol bitch u thought". And then make it worse. Because those are their absolute favourite kind of pranks. Scourge's presence just makes everything worse because he'll think of ways to make it look more realistic. Poor Tails has a very vivid memory of Scourge coming home one day after a battle, ears flat against his skull, carrying a bruised and bloodied and lifeless Sonic in his arms, growling a choked-out explanation about how Robotnik... Sonic couldn't - that bastard is going to pay for what he...

And he lays Sonic on the sofa, disappearing elsewhere into the base, making small noises like he's about to start crying. And Tails is distraught and starts shaking Sonic, begging him to wake up, tearing up when he receives no response, and he's just taking a breath to start wailing-

And then Sonic screams "RAH!" and grabs him and Tails shrieks so loud it rattles the windows, and from the next room he can hear Scourge laughing his ass off. Fucker left the room in the first place not because he was crying, but because he was laughing

Tails sulked for a week straight about falling for that trick again and Sonic and Scourge were told to clean the damn fake blood off the sofa and off the floor (which they didn't do)

Those are the kind of shitty pranks they pull. Not the only kind of pranks they'll pull, they'll also steal Tekno's stuff while she's working to confuse her, she's sure she put that screwdriver around here somewhere, or they'll place important things in difficult to reach places and replace them with taunting notes, or (like you mentioned in your previous ask) will drop paint on someone. They especially like dropping paint on people. But occasionally pretending to fail a mission, or pretending that one of them is dead, is their favourite type of prank, although they don't do it often in order to keep it at maximum effect

[ardentpoop]

spn s1 holds almost the exact same appeal that saw (2004) does. if you were unaware

[neonphoenix]

Just saw someone call Dick Grayson a Ken and I've just gotta say - my man did not wear the discowing for that.

moodboard for when you make quite the poor moral decision choosing your wol's boyfriends.

haha no its fine. i can be normal about this.

[jojotichakorn]

Hello Archer. Thank you so much for your detailed response to my previous ask about Ray and Sand and people’s unwillingness to read their relationship as anything other than “Rich boy Ray wants to buy Poor boy Sand” because of a previous interaction they had in the early episodes, when clearly things have changed for them. It’s weird that the same people who recognize the growth of the other characters don’t seem to want to acknowledge Ray’s growth, or like you said, that Sand also has his own flaws that he needs to work on. The whole point of the show is that nobody is actually perfect (except maybe Daddy Dan 😏), and it really irks me that a lot of people seem to ignore that. The glee they have about Sand’s mum admitting to Sand’s weakness for those he loves, and his willingness to bend over backwards for them. Which makes no sense to me cuz it just confirms how much Sand loves Ray that he falls within that category of people Sand would do anything for 🤷🏾‍♀️

Sorry for my long rambling ask. I wanted to ask a follow up question about how you read Ray’s facial expressions in the pool. Cuz I interpreted it as Ray’s Imma kill a bitch and bury his body and glasses in a ditch no one’s gonna find. EVER!!! But then again, I do get slightly bloodthirsty and very protective of the people I love, specially against asshole exes who can’t even be bothered to know what concert they were taken to 🙄

heeey!! yeah, no problem, i love rambly asks and being even ramblier when i respond to them gjlkdfjgfkdljg two years ago that was practically the only thing i did here

i personally think people love to percieve everything as black-and-white, but when we talk about personalities nothing is an either or situation. it seems that some people think that just because sand can have a hard time establishing boundaries, it somehow means that he cannot establish a single boundary to save his life and basically everyone in his life is forcing themselves on him because of that. let's throw complexities and nuance and grey areas out of the window and have a cardboard cut-out no-boundaries-at-all man! as if we have not seen sand explicitly establishing boundaries with ray multiple times. truly, sometimes i feel like i'm watching a different series in comparison to other people.

now, as for your question, i do have to preface this by saying that i am not the biggest facial expressions guy (see: autism), but i will do my best!

i do think that ray is fueled - in part - by jealousy, when he invites boeing to his house. sand previously said that ray did not need to be jealous, but ehhh... objectively speaking, sand and boeing's current dynamic isn't exactly nothing to worry about. say what you will about jealosy, but when your boyfriend meets his ex and tells you to go home without him and then you overhear a conversation with him basically agreeing that you aren't exactly his type, unlike his ex, who is now explicitly trying to get him back, all of that is pretty perfect breeding ground for jealousy.

but by creating this little trio situation, i think ray is first and foremost trying to figure out what is actually happening, because clearly when sand said everything was fine - that was just not true (obvious to the audience by the face sand pulls right at the end of the "should i be jealous?" scene as well) and sand also kind of didn't give them the opportunity to talk about it when ray actually met boeing and saw how things were (which they could have done in the car if he agreed to ray giving him a lift).

so, when ray is initially looking at sand in the pool →

i think he's trying to understand how sand feels about the whole situation and he is really trying to push his buttons as well. get some sort of a reaction out of him. because he really did go from being smiley and animated with ray the whole episode to an instant 😶 at absolutely anything and everything the second boeing stepped in and in theory there are a lot of reasons why that could have happened - ranging from sand still being in love with boeing to him being uncomfortable around boeing but not being able to do anything about it and everything in-between. and ray is trying to figure out exactly what it is.

with boeing however →

yeah, i'm pretty sure my man is ready to kill and maim. with sand, he is trying to create a situation where everything comes to a head (not in the fun way, get your mind out of the gutter), which would establish what's actually going on, but with boeing? yeah, that man is a red flag bigger than the one hanging on the turkish parliament building and feels instantly slimier than even top did at the beginning of the series. it's fun to like him as the unhinged menace that he is from a viewer's perspective, but he is obviously fucking awful to actually encounter in life, especially as your boyfriend's ex. and i do think that it is not unfair to say that ray picked up on what we all did - that boeing doesn't actually care about sand and never did. he can't even remember the concert they went to together! so this isn't just about jealousy or figuring out the truth, but also about the simple fact that boeing sucks (once again, not in a fun way - seriously, get your mind out of the gutter).
