Steve’s child (we shall call Sweet Pea): Auntie Bobin?

Robin: Yes, my little sweet pea?

Sweet Pea: Can I be an m&m like you?

Robin: an m&m?

Sweet Pea: Yeah, an m&m. I want to speak a bunch of bologna like you.

Robin: Do you - do you mean linguist?

Sweet Pea: No, Auntie Bob! M&m is short for lesbinem. Did I get it right?

Robin: *now struggling not to laugh* Oh, my sweet little adorable baby dingus. . .yes, you got it exactly right.

Steve: *also struggling not to laugh* Robin, you better correct them!

Sweet Pea: What's so funny, Daddy?! I want to be a lesbinem!

Steve: *laughing* Baby, it's linguist!

You can't tell me that Harley and Ivy aren't the 'fun aunts' when they visit the bat boys.

Like Harley brings the boys sweet all the time and Ivy shows the boys how to look after their plants.

--------------------------------------------

Bonus:

Harley would sneak the bat brothers sweets when they were Robin without Batman knowing.

Steve & Andy (1996, 1994, 1993)

[dragonmama76]

Not a Fair Fight

@steddiemicrofic prompt: pin, 388 words, rated:G

Some days Steve felt like the fight would never end.  First was the demogorgon, then the mind flayer, the dogs, the bats and finally Vecna.  But that all felt like nothing compared the battle happening now.  Steve wasn’t sure what he had walked into, but this one couldn’t be won with his nailbat. He would have to keep his wits about him.

Hands on his hips, Steve cleared his throat, “Does someone want to tell me what’s going on here?”  Two matching sets of eyes immediately met his.  They hadn’t heard him come in, but now it was a race to see who could make their argument faster and louder.  Steve held his tongue and tried to listen as they spoke over each other.  He was unwilling to give either side the benefit of the doubt.  Both could be equally stubborn, irrational and childish.  He didn’t know how this started, but he needed it to end.  

“One at a time or no one at all!”  Steve demanded.

“I want. My birthday party.  At Chuck E Cheese!”  Doro whined, stamping her foot.  “It’s not fair!!  Jenny and Andy BOTH got Chuck E Cheeses parties!  I HATE being famous.”

“Be reasonable, chicken,” Eddie pleaded, “We can have an awesome party here at home with pizza and we can play  hide and seek, musical chairs, and pin the tail on the donkey!!”

Steve couldn’t help the snort that emerged.  Pin the tail on the Donkey?  What was Eddie thinking?

“Chuck E Cheese has a band that comes out and plays every half hour!” Dorothy whined.

“Daddy has a band that can play the WHOLE TIME if you want!!”  Eddie countered.

“Oh my God, Daddy, that's SO embarrassing!!”  Dorothy cried.

“I’ve won three Grammys…” Eddie sulked.  

“Okay, loves,” Steve broke in, “Before someone’s feelings really get hurt-” He looked pointedly at Eddie, who frankly, should not be taking this so personally but who was sulking anyway.  “Let’s get a few things straight.  Dorothy Munson, YOU are not famous. Maybe someday, but not today.  However!” Steve pinned his daughter with a look, “Your father is, and he absolutely cannot stroll into a Chuck E Cheese on a Saturday without a security detail.  You don’t want that on your birthday so we are going to sit down and compromise!” 

“Fine,” his daughter sighed.  “So…Disneyland?”

Aunty Harley saving her baby! 🥺 LOOK AT THEM! THEY ARE PRECIOUS 😭😭

[thedevilsoftruth]

The collection is growing....

All I need is Year Zero, Not The Actual Events, Add Violence, ( which are my favorite nin records. Yeah, I said it, fight me. Hesitation marks is also my second favorite. ) and The Slip and then my collection is complete ( kinda )

I also want Year Zeros remixed album, Things Falling Apart, and the Ghost albums. But those are later investments.

Ok @chocoarts , I'm ready to go on a ramble! Thanks so much for answering my request! I hope my ramble does your art justice!

So! Steve and Robin are destined to work together, no matter how they meet or what they do. I know that most folks on the internet think that Robin wouldn't be great with little kids, while Steve would be the master. However! I personally like the idea that they're /both/ great with kids! I'm not usually one for no-Upside-down aus, but I can't really think of another way that this would work, so.

I'll bet that Steve and Robin met while volunteering at the Hawkins Daycare center. They bond over a love of kids and hatred for the people in charge. Y'see, Hawkins kinda reminds me of the area I grew up in a little bit, and something that's happened, both in my community and the town where my mom works, is that daycares and pre-schools start out as genuine nonprofits, existing for the sake of the community. But over time, they become super exclusive, expensive, and mildly corrupt. I imagine that if Hawkins had a daycare center, that's what would happen.

*oh, by the way, I have nothing against day care centers or all you folks who run them in a general sense. I know how difficult it is to take care of little kids to an extent, and I respect you all for what you do. It's just the ones in my community that I know of that are like that.*

Anyway...

So Steve and Robin see this and decide, hey, Steve's parents may be assholes, but they haven't cut him off yet, so why don't they use that money to open their own daycare center? They would call it Bat-man and Robin's Junior Bat-cave, because Steve plays baseball in this au. Also because of this meme:

By the way, they decided to add hyphens to the DC related parts of the name to escape a potential lawsuit. That's my logic, and I'm sticking to it. Cool? Cool.

So Steve and Robin open their daycare, and they keep their fees as inexpensive as they possibly can without it being detrimental to the business. One of their first customers is a single mom by the name of Claudia Henderson.

It takes a minute for Dustin to warm up to Steve and Robin, because even as a 3-year-old, people give him a hard time about his disease, cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), which he worked really hard to learn how to pronounce.

Steve and Robin don't treat him any differently. The only acknowledgement they make of his CCD is when they have to follow his daily medical needs, which I assume exist, but I have no idea what they'd be. When this sinks in, he warms right up to them. His favorite thing to do is play spies with the toy walkie-talkie set that Steve got especially for him. He gets bad dreams sometimes about his dad leaving, but Steve is always right there when he wakes up with a sci-fi picture book or Star Wars stuffies to help him feel better.

The next kid to show up is Max Mayfield. She's a sassy little thing. And in this au, N*il dies in a car crash or something, and Billy's mom gets custody of Billy, because he deserves good things, dammit, but Susan doesn't have the money to move her and Max back to Cali. The Junior Batcave is affordable for her. It takes Max a hot second to warm up to Steve, because of N*il, but Robin helps her feel safe, and Steve never pushes her boundaries. That is what gets her to warm up to him. Max likes playing spies with Dustin, but her favorite thing to do is use cardboard as ramps and play with those tiny skateboard toys.

Jane Eleanor "El" Hopper shows up after Hopper adopts her and gets her out of the foster system. She's pretty quiet and timid, but she's got good judgement for a 3-year-old. She warms up to Steve and Robin pretty quick. She calls them Auntie Robin and Mom-Steve. She likes any kind of game, as long as she's with her best friend Max. But her favorite thing to do at daycare is play with Steve's hair. One day, she brings all sorts of clips and ribbons from home. El gets a little sad, because Robin gently tells her, "if it touches your hair, you don't share." Steve immediately goes out to the store to get some new hair supplies, and then El just goes ham on his hair. When she's done, she says that "Mom-Steve is the prettiest ever!" Hearts melt, and there are tears.

When Will shows up, his family is fresh out of a divorce, so he's really quiet and sensitive. He knows that he's welcome to play with Dustin, Max, and El, but he's just too shy. Luckily for him, Mike starts attending at around the same time. They bond over Star Wars with Dustin. And Will just has the best ideas for games if make-believe! When Will leads, Max and El get to be the knights, and Mike is the one who needs saving. Will gets attached to Steve and Robin when they agree to play the dragon and the queen respectively, and help him practice reading when he's not up to playing. Eventually, Will spends so much time reading with Steve that Mike gets jealous, which I think would explain the ankle-biter moment in chocoarts's picture.

Mike is a bit of a jealous kiddo, because baby Holly gets all of Mom and Nancy's attention, and Dad isn't home too often cause of work. That's why, if any of his friends start spending more time with Steve than him, his ankle-biting tendencies surface. Oh, Will would rather read a story with Steve than play knights and castles with Mike? CHOMP! Even so, Steve and Robin both give Mike plenty of attention, so he warms up to them. He copies El, calling Steve Mom-Steve. He also starts calling Robin Auntie Birdie.

Last, but certainly not least, the Sinclair siblings. In this au, I think Lucas and Erica would either be twins, or the age gap would just be a year instead of 4, as it seems to be in canon (Lucas seeming to be a 15-year-old freshman when Erica is 11). Lucas likes playing catch a little more than the other boys, and Steve is always happy to play with him. But, I'm getting ahead of myself. Y'see, I just had the thought that when the Sinclairs tried sending Lucas and Erica to Hawkins Daycare, the two were surrounded by white children who didn't know anything other than the racist bullshit their parents said around them. The employees weren't much better. When the Sinclairs reached out to the Junior Bat-cave, on the other hand, Steve and Robin were perfectly respectful, and made sure the other kids knew to be respectful to Lucas and Erica, too. Anywho, as the two adjust, Steve loves to see how Lucas is just the best big brother. He knows that Erica is still a bit too small for catch, so he rolls his favorite ball around with her, instead. Also, Erica likes dogs in this au, so Steve helps Lucas draw and/or color in pictures of dogs and puppies. Robin is always happy to play with Erica, too. In fact, all the girls love finding all the dog stuffies in the daycare to play dog school, Erica's favorite game.

Alright! That's all I've got for this ramble. If anyone wants to take these ideas and just roll with them, feel free to do so. I hope my ramble did chocoarts's drawing justice!

I am bored, tired as all hell and my body won't let me take a nap. I also can't get the spoons, fucks nor bones to do any of the things I wanted to get done so you get- whatever this is.

So I do an rp. And sometime ago me and my partner had the Riddler kidnap Bernie because he thought that he knew who Red Robin is, because he's the civilian Red had been seen interacting with the most. Bernie didn't, in fact, know Red Robin's identity. Until the riddles started ringing a bell on two and my favourite theorist connected some dots and was like "Oh, shit, that's my handsome idiot". My guy thought he was going to die and yet continued bullshitting Riddler and denying everything until Tim showed up.

So, yeah, sometimes I think of funny little scenarios like:

Red Robin is backed up against the wall. Then the rogue is just- hit with a heavy backpack. And some teenager is screaming at them. Then get knocked down by some other Batfamily member that took advantage of the distraction.

Bernie would later on get lectured by Tim on NOT angering Gotham's rogues and how Tim could dEfINitelY hAnDle hImSelF.

Or him getting kidnapped all the time. Because yeah. At some point he just looks at the camera like he's in the office, absolutely done with life. I wonder if at one point he'd start bullshitting the villains like:

"Let me guess, you want Red Robin's identity, right? It's me, I am Red Robin"

"This doesn't-"

*staring them down* "Try me bitch"

Or

"You want to know who the bats are? Fine, they're bats"

"But-"

"An army of well-trained bats. Disguised as humans"

One time Bernie gets kidnapped by Harley for shits and giggles because she actually knows their identities but she wants to see if the kid will bulge. She leaves some complicated riddles for Tim to find since she knows he loves solving puzzles and doing detective work.

Bernie just sighs when waking up, figuring he'd get tortured again and continues with his quips and stuff. And because my version of Bernie spills self-deprecating jokes as a coping mechanism, mostly about the cult, well, that happens.

So Harley is satisfied the kid of her bestie from med school has someone loyal next to him and then when he starts with the jokes she just- goes all therapist mode on him.

So Tim is hyperventilating, running to solve all the riddles, thinking the Riddler is at it again and he'd probably kill his boyfriend this time, especially if he doesn't hurry tf up.

And he gets there to see Bernie having a therapy session with his crazy aunt and meanwhile Ivy is making them tea.

In need of Roro and Kerri together, be it angsty or fluffy (your choice)

i will gladly provide you some Roro and Kerri content eli <3<3

----

"Kerri? Honey you in here?" Robin asked, gently pushing the door open. The girls room was quiet, too quiet. All of the toys neatly put away where they belonged, the books slotted into their spots on the shelves (in rainbow order that she and Robin spent a rainy day making).

There was a suspicious pile of blankets on the bed with quiet sniffles being muffled under the fabric. The dark haired woman walked up to the bed and sat down next to it. She carefully put her hand on top of pile. The form shifted under her hold slightly, making the older woman smile.

Hmmm, "I wonder who's under the blanket?" She asked aloud. "Maybe if I tickle them I'll figure it out."

The blankets frantically shifted as a small gasp made Robin smile. In one swift motion she scooped up the blankets, earning a squeal and loud laughter.

"Auntie Roro!" Kerri giggled, her cheeks rosy and her little teeth in a wide smile.

"There's my little Kay. Why were you upstairs hiding, cutie pie?" She asked, holding the girl in her lap, her fingers gently combing through the girls little baby hairs and smoothing them down tenderly.

"I was hiding."

"From what?"

She looked down at her little hands. "Mommy. She was really mad after she got me from playing. It was scawy."

Robin sighed and rubbed the girls little shoulders. "Your Mommy's just having a little bit of an off day, honey. I don't think she meant to scare you."

"But she looked sad too. An it made me sad too." She sniffled, wiping under her nose. "An I didn wan Mommy to see cause I thought it would make her sadder."

"Oh sweetheart." Robin sighed and pulled the girl close, hugging her tightly and kissed her hair. She rubbed her back as the little girl melted into her touch, hiccupping. "It's okay, you don't have to hide."

Kerri wrapped her little arms around her aunts neck and tucked her head onto her shoulder. She could feel little droplets of water hit the exposed skin and she only pulled the little girl closer. How do you explain to a little girl that her mother just got broken up with? Once Kerri's little hiccups subsided, Robin pulled her away and wiped her tears gently with her thumb.

She smiled warmly at her niece. "You feel better now, Kerr bear?" The little girl nodded and rubbed her eyes. "You know what makes me feel better?"

"What Auntie?"

"A nice plate of chocolate chip cookies. Should we make some?" Kerri's brown eyes lit up as she smiled excitedly.

"Yeah! Can I help?"

"Well of course you can, Kay Kay." Robin chuckled and stood up, still holding Kerri in her arms. "I need the bestest little helper there is." She booped the girls nose, getting her to giggle as they went downstairs. She kissed her little forehead as they passed Sasha's room.

She wondered how Aura was doing with comforting her but pushed the thought out of her mind as Kerri started talking about the cookies they were going to make. She had to help her friend as much as she could and what better way than to keep her niece happy? Even if it was at the expense of a clean kitchen and her shirt, she wouldn't trade it for anything in the world if she got Kerri to smile.

[n1ntendos]

it used to be really difficult seeing pictures of my grandpa and grandma after their passing, but now it feels more comforting than anything. i have a picture with my grandpa on my phone where he’s kissing me on the cheek and i’m smiling the biggest smile in the world. it’s such a cozy picture, we are sitting at the dinner table with candles burning. sometimes i pull it up on my phone and send him an air kiss. i miss him, but he’s always there with me and always will be!

[m-a-d-e-l-e-i-n-e]

I’m currently mad that my grandparents’ generation got to live through the cool vintage era so many of us romanticize and got to witness such drastic societal and worldwide change over the decades meanwhile when I’m old I’ll be looking back on fucking social media and climate change

"Auntie Quinn" would try to give him some of the food she found to appease him.

A Batman rogue is raiding the fridge at Wayne Manor but haven’t learned of the nightmare that is Damian Wayne right when he first moved in with Bruce

[noxcheshire]

We do not see enough of de-aged Danny being adopted outside of Bruce and Jason, and maybe like, a small handful of Dick and one Cass.

But I have not seen enough Tim Drake.

LET THAT BOY BE A PARENT.

Let Danny crawl up a roof, through alleys, and under shadows because he wants to either help himself when he returned to his correct age by copying their moves, or just because they are a little cool. Let baby Danny be found by Red Robin who immediately does a full 180 back over to land in front of a little toddler wearing an astronaut onesie.

A little toddler trying to squirrel his way through the roofs opening to escape and failing.

Let Red Robin feel the tilting reality of baby Danny willing to fight him and lying to his face even while trying to whisk away with some stray bat-weapons that have been left all around Gotham.

Let Tim Drake have a small handful of Amity Park feral clawing up his suit, demanding to be held because Tim doesn’t treat him like an idiot, but a very smart toddler that wants attention.

Let Tim Drake have a baby Danny that will try to fly away so he always must wear a baby leash, floating around Tim’s head like a living balloon. If he phases through, aunties and uncles YJ will also be there to catch the stray baby playing at a dog having escaped the house.

Let Tim Drake buy baby clothes and sew in various trackers with Danny eating his way through a messy apple sauce cup, ignoring the invasion of privacy because he is so used to Jazz having done the same thing when he was originally a baby the first go around.

Let Tim Drake accept the glowing greens that seep out from Danny’s fingers because that power is too much for his little body to handle. Accepting, even when the green begins to fade into walls, and objects, clothes, and skin.
