“It is not at all clear that Jane Seymour was the bait carefully prepared by an alleged conservative faction. It is more likely that Henry met her when on progress in Hampshire. Maybe once the king’s interest in her was known, courtiers then attempted to exploit the situation, but more for reasons of patronage than policy. It may simply be that Henry entrusted Carew, as a loyal and long-serving courtier, with the responsibility of looking after Jane as she was becoming the king’s mistress. After Anne’s fall, Jane would be lodged at Carew’s house at Beddington. Maybe Carew had already earlier seized the opportunity to encourage Jane to criticise Anne, as Chapuys reported at the beginning of April; or perhaps Carew, whatever he actually did or did not do, boasted to Chapuys that he was coaching Jane to do down Anne, but we should be cautious about believing him. For Jane to tell Henry that Anne was abominated and that his marriage was thought illegitimate would be highly risky. Only someone absolutely certain that the king had already decided to repudiate Anne could confidently say that to him. Yet as late as 18 April Henry was insisting that Chapuys should publicly recognise Anne Boleyn. If Jane Seymour had spoken the words at the end of March that Chapuys says she was being coached to speak, it is likely that the king would have given her short shrift. A few days after Anne’s execution Chapuys reported that Jane had suggested to the king that Princess Mary should be restored to her former position: Henry had called her a fool and said that she should look rather to the advancement of their children. How credible is that report? Chapuys could not have overheard any such remarks. Perhaps Jane told Carew what she had told the king—though the king’s riposte would hardly have comforted the conservatives. Perhaps it was the king who let the story slip with the aim of putting further pressure, through Chapuys, on Princess Mary.”

Cass is face blind, not like oh she’s bad at remembering faces but in an actual cannot for the life of her know who she’s looking at kinda way. Instead of faces she uses context clues, body language, and voices to tell who she’s interacting with. She’s gotten pretty good at it each of her family members having an obvious tell that it’s them. Some of them include how Dick always has blue incorporated into his outfit. Jason always smells slightly of gun powder and cigarettes. Tim’s posture is so bad Cass can tell it’s him from a mile away. Damian has green eyes, Steph has blonde hair, Babs has red hair. Cass wishes all the boys had different colored hair, as it would simply make her life a lot easier.

The face blindness really doesn’t impare her abilities during patrol cause all of the Gotham rogues and heroes wear such dramatic outfits Cass doesn’t need to see their face to know who they are.

Unfortunately problems often arise when she’s in civilian form,

Cass: *at starbucks*

Dick: oh my god Cass! is that you?

Cass: *confused but polite* hello.

Dick: hey, how’s your day been?

Cass: *is unsure why this random guy is talking to her but once again polite* good.

Dick: *confused on why his sister is acting weird*...that’s good.

Cass: *grabbing her order and attempting to leave.*

Dick: Wait don’t you want a ride back to the manor?

Cass: No. *rushing away and is very uncomfortable.*

Cass: *halfway down the street, realizing she’s heard that voice before, immediately pulling out her phone*

Dick: Hello?

Cass: Starbucks?

Dick: Yea..

——

Jason: *recently dyed his white streak black cause he was feeling insecure about it*

Cass: *stands next to no streak Jason sitting at the batcomputer* Bruce?

Jason: I beg your finest pardon

Cass: Oh, Hi Jason.

Jason: *on his way to bleach his streak back cause never again.*

——

Bruce: *brings Clark to the manor, they’re both in civilian clothing looking identical.*

Cass: No metas, too confusing.

Cass: *staring directly at Bruce thinking it’s Clark* I. Don’t. Like. You.

Bruce: *has not been this heartbroken since Khoa Khan.* Clark, I think it’s best for you to leave

——

Cass: *staring at the blonde person in the kitchen thinking it’s Steph* oh wow your hair..

Bernard: *also face blind.* Tim…You sound different.

Okay, I get what Tim sees in him now actually. They're both convinced they're the normal one, and somehow they're both wrong

Prompt:

Instead of going for Tim, Jason goes for the easiest way to utterly destroy his Replacement and kidnaps his civilian boyfriend to demonstrate just how easy it is to lose something (or someone) you love in this line of work.

And while the whole “make the Replacement beg” part of the plan is going amazing…. Jason really didn’t plan the whole “keeping a conspiracy theorist teenager hostage” through to the end.

Bernard just wants to know what the new crime lord’s deal with Robin is. And why— and how— exactly he’s supposed to be a bargaining chip when he can count the times he met Robin on one hand. oh! and could someone maybe tell his boyfriend, Tim, that he’ll be late for their coffee date on Tuesday?

“Her brother Edward Seymour, the future Protector Somerset in the reign of Jane’s son Edward, seems a somewhat unlikely ‘conservative’, even in the mid-1530s. If these conservatives were really dangling Jane in front of the king, could they be sure that she, and her family, would be their allies? Were there no young ladies from the families of those named by Chapuys? And how sound a scheme was it? How confident could Sir Nicholas Carew be first that Henry would be interested in Jane Seymour and secondly that if Jane became Henry’s mistress, that would lead on to political advantages for the conservatives, especially the downfall of Anne Boleyn?”

Ohmigosh @kaysdenofchaos's Teenage Meddling Mutant Turtle Au! They're so chaotic and really serving Batfam <3 Have my heart and soul the lot of them!

As for the reason I drew this specifically.... so, question: If Leo is Tim in this hypothetical Batfam parallel analogy, would April be more Steph or Bernard?
