#bruce straightman

[mamawasatesttube]

tired: the bats are so weird and creepy and everyone else is always so normal compared to them!

wired: impulse started fidgeting so hard he just started vibrating and clipped halfway through the floor and part of helen's foot before he realized what he was doing. this is just a normal tuesday

inspired: superman, superboy, and supergirl are sitting together in midair having a mild-mannered midwestern discussion as to which of their nonpowered combatant friends has the most fucked-up looking bones. several of said friends are in the room and really wish they wouldn't do this

fits like a charm <3

The Public Personas I think each Wayne Kid would get in the Reverse Robins verse

Duke: The easy-going, down-to-earth, reasonable one. Or, perhaps more accurately, the straightman to Bruce’s comedian. Duke’s fond exasperation & surprisingly grown-up attitude as a child made for an excellent counter to Brucie’s bombastic antics, and had plenty of people joking that Duke was the actual parent between the two of them. Seeing the two of them at work is seeing a decade-perfected comedy tag-team in action, and it is a beautiful thing. As Duke grew up, his reputation shifted to being the Chillest Dude (gender neutral) in any given room, and he mastered the sort of subtle, charismatic warmth that makes everyone feel like they’re your best friend. Duke’s one of those celebrities you just want to crack a beer open with and chat about your day, because they seem like they’d be fun to hang out with, y’know? (Which also helps separate him from his hero identities. Duke Thomas? Dress up like a cross between a motorcycle racer & medieval knight in order to speed around downtown, jump off bridges & skyscrapers, and kick the Joker in the face on a biweekly basis? Are you fucking high?)

Damian: Starts out as the acerbic, hotheaded brat. Grows up into Gotham’s favorite Bad Boy With A Heart Of Gold, thanks to both his maintained public attitude & work with helping animals around the world, even after he mostly moves to Bludhaven. (Yes, he rides a motorcycle, wears mostly leather, and has just so many piercings. Most of the piercings are fake, so that they can’t be grabbed in fights; the real ones he almost exclusively wears small studs in. They all come out in preparation for patrol.)

Cassandra: The Ice Queen, so cool & confident that some people genuinely think the family is lying about her selective mutism and it’s just a front so she has an excuse to ignore people. (She is deeply offended by this.) Zero tolerance for bullshit, cutting edge fashionista, single handedly got ASL added as a language course to every school in Gotham, and got plenty of rich jerks to learn if only to know what she was gossiping about with her siblings when they kept glancing over and laughing at everyone else. Universally assumed to be the one who'll take over WE when Bruce retires, despite her complete lack of interest.

Steph: The Wild Child, the only one to follow in Brucie’s footsteps. This was not the persona she wanted but in her society debut gala, something came up and Duke needed a distraction so he could go deal with it. Steph set her shoulders, grabbed a bottle off the snack table behind them, and said, “You got it.” First impressions are everything, and she never could shake that one… not helped by the fact that sometimes, an empty-headed party girl was exactly what they needed to gather information, and Steph had both the reputation to play the part & clout to get wherever she wanted once Bruce fostered her. (After her death, people call it a “downward spiral.” Others counter this with a clip from an interview she gave earlier that year, where Stephanie Brown talked about her hard work in school & the community, and her frustration over her reputation. “Of course it bothers me,” she said, “It bothers me that what I’m wearing matters more than the causes I promote. It bothers me that a few sips of wine outweigh organizing an entire event. It bothers me that flirting with people my own age upsets people more than a fucking shooting in downtown Gotham!” She laughed bitterly. “Is it the hair? Should I dye it? Would that make people take me more seriously?” She turned to look directly into the camera, tears shining in her eyes. “I’m—I’m sixteen. What do you want from me?”)

Tim: Tim starts out as the resident Cool Nerd. He’s friendly, he’s chill, he likes skateboarding & computer games—and also, he GMs on the weekends, he likes to solve math puzzles & write his own algorithms, he knows more about the history of sci-fi than any human has right to. Tim’s the kind of nerd who makes his nerdy hobbies seem cool by association. (Still figuring the rest out, honestly. Since he’s Oracle in this verse, part of me feels like he’d stay out of the public eye more? But another part of me says Tim would make his public persona as loud as possible, so that people think of him beyond his injury. “Bruce Wayne’s Paraplegic Son” is not an identity Tim would ever be okay letting people define him by, I think. I know he does a lot of charity work, and is more open to talking about his challenges than Cass is, in a very “if I tell you upfront, you can’t use it against me (also, maybe someone else needs to hear this)” kinda way. I know he’s still involved in the business world to some degree. I’m just having trouble pinning down how Tim would characterize Timothy Drake-Wayne [post-injury] to the public.)

Jason: Jason is kinda the inverse of Damian, being soft-spoken & seemingly shy until you bring up a cause he cares passionately about. He's very protective of his siblings, and is responsible for about 80% of the "Wayne Kids Spotted! You Won't Believe These Adorable Pictures!" tabloid headlines (Cass & Damian dote on Jason, those candids being one of the only times people get pictures of their "soft sides." Jason also volunteers to help Duke & Tim out a lot, and is often seen trailing after them trying to look professional.) Every woman over 30 in Gotham just wants to pinch his pudgy little cheeks, at least until Jason hits his last growth spurt and comes back from a year abroad looking like an absolute hunk. But still just as humble, just as polite, and just as passionate about helping others. Isn't he just a Big Ol' Marshmallow? (Jason maintains this reputation mainly by biting his tongue & constantly reminding himself if he can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. After every single interview or public event, you can find him down in the cave, ranting to himself about everything that pissed him off and taking it out on the poor training dummies.)

Dick: Started out very surly & private, but all his siblings defended that the poor boy had gone through so much trauma in under a year (losing his parents, being taken from the family he grew up with, and then losing Bruce just a few months later,) that it was only to be expected. They worked hard to keep him protected from the public eye while he was grieving. When little Richie finally made his public debut, Gotham was delighted to discover an energetic Sunshine Child, who wasn't exactly a great listener & was more than a bit of a showoff, but gosh darn if he wasn't the cutest thing anyone had seen in years. (Dick keeps up the shallow-but-cheerful Sunshine act all the way into his adult life, coming the closest out of any of them to having a true Brucie persona as an adult.)

I'm obsessed with how in JL incorrect quotes and shenanigans, Hal Jordan is the straightman to Bruce's antics. It's so consistent and idk enough about DC to know why. You read a post about the Bats being silly in the Watchtower and BOOM Hal Jordan is at the end being all "??!!!!!"

Someone tell me why tho please. Is it a slightly canon dynamic or did the hive mind decide to put Hal in situations

what are you favorite ships in the mcu for darcy?

here we go

I used to really like Darcy/Loki but I’ve grown out of outside of my ship with @kneeltoyourking Over the years, I have liked (outside of RP, where I like almost anything if there’s enough chemistry):

Pepper (this is like my ultimate rarepair. I call it Pepcy) Natasha Carol Hope Jane Fandral Bruce and Hulk Tony Frank Triple Agent AU MCU Broc.k Rum.low (ONLY MCU, only in this popular AU) Logan (but only before I started shipping Darcy with...) Da.ken 616 Pi.etro Coul.son 616 Peter Bucky Venom (independent of any host because ya’ll know i love them fuckin monsters) Thor Doc Strange Doom Wade/Wanda Remy BET.A RA/Y B.ILL

In general, I like her most often with older men and women, and typically with grumpier people to play her “straightman” as it were (though not always). Also, if you rp any of these characters and like... don’t ship it, that’s cool too! Just because I’ve enjoyed fanfic or fanart or meta/headcanons doesn’t mean I’m secretly yearning for a ship ...unless, you know, you wanna :P

--I’m kidding.

mostly.

The Avengers as a mid 90′s sitcom:

Nick Fury as the put upon father figure/straightman who owns the house they all live in and can’t kick them out because he made a promise (and also he loves them). Tony Stark is the relatable drunk uncle (drunkle) who is somehow rich, has now idea how to handle money or himself. tries to be helpful. Steve Rodgers and Bucky Barnes are the best friends/ambiguously-gay-couple that share a room and are almost never seen apart from each other. Steve is still a 20 something year old guy from the 1940′s and Bucky is still hyucking terrifying. Dr. Bruce Banner is the weird genius who lives in the basement and awkwardly fixes everything. Major plot point in at least one episode would be that he can’t drive and hasn’t actually been outside the house apart from the yard in like ten years. The Falcon is an ex-cop EMT that is the only one actually related to Nick Fury, strictly by the book, no frills, efficiency. Total stick in the mud. Natasha Romanoff is only there every once in a while, always has money, travel a lot, and nobody has any clue what her job is. Captain Marvel actually lives with her wife next door, but she is always over hanging out so she might as well be part of the family. Tony jokes that she is Nick’s favourite kid. Peter Parker and Miles Morales are supposed to be away at college, but they are home so often that it hardly seems like they are. they are practical jokers who look up to Steve and the Falcon. Always in trouble.

The agent’s of SHIELD occasionally pop in to cause trouble, but its just a normal hijinks sitcom.
