And also how your parents would whoop your ass if you accidentally took a picture of the ground by mistake XD

Slightly Crack Batfam AU
Duke, shortly after being adopted, finds an old demon summoning circle burned into the floor under a rug in one of the rooms.
That, combined with some of the literature he finds laying around, leads him to conclude that someone in his new family is secretly a demon and he starts trying to figure out who.
Could it be Bruce, the literal demon of the night?
Dick, who bends and flips effortlessly in ways no normal human could?
Jason seems the most likely, as he climbed out of his own grave, but to be fair, he'd never actually seen Tim sleep.
And then there was Damian.
He never would have guessed that the demon is actually Alfred, summoned by a desperate, distraught Bruce the night of his parents' deaths.
Originally, their deal was just for Alfred to help Bruce get his revenge.
The reason he stuck around, though?
He realized he needed to make sure that Bruce and his collection of equally crazy orphans stayed OUT of the afterlife (and therefore AWAY from the throne of hell, which he has no doubt someone would eventually take) and decided to stay on as their oddly perfect butler.

A Little Stumble
With me, being early, and one of the teachers coming in late, we were left with no choice than I handling a section by myself, while Ma’am Jerilyn served as a substitute on the other section. It was my first time facilitating the examination.
At first, I was tasked to shuffle the seating arrangements, and so I did. While doing so, the students suddenly became too alike with one another! Next, I distributed the exam papers. .. Everything was running “smoothly”, until I encountered a stumbling block! FIVE TEST PAPERS WERE MISSING!
Confused and unsure what to do, I had one student report to Ma’am Jerilyn, only to receive the news that the other section was also missing one paper. Thus, I had to go there personally. I once again collected the test papers and brought them with me, as I went to Ma’am Jerilyn. We then approached Ma’am Angela, who had one spare paper. She, too, was surprised by the number of missing papers.
Finally, the teacher for the other section came, and Ma’am Jerilyn went back to the room with me. Once again, she let me distribute the papers to the students. To my surprise and embarrassment, the papers were suddenly enough-- with two extra pieces, even! I was perplexed because I was sure I counted the papers correctly the first time around. Nonetheless, the examination continued along, and I have let this experience teach me a lesson.
Mistakes are inevitable, no matter how careful you are. Thus, instead of condemning yourself over them, one should just look the lesson hidden behind the experience.

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.
Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?
Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.
The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.
Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.
It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.
I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.
He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.
