Headcanon that when Cass first joins the family only she, Bruce, and Jason know sign language. (Cass taught it to herself while on the run because it was easier for her to remember shapes of her hands than trying to speak.) Cue the entire batfamily trying to learn a whole-ass language in as little time as possible:

Dick accidentally signing ‘fuck you’ instead of ‘thank you’ to Cass one day and Cass not saying anything bc she understands what he was trying to say, meanwhile Jason is CACKLING

Dick: What??? WHAT?? OH MY GOD CASS I’M SO SORRY OH MY GOD I DIDN’TMEANITLIKETHAT

on the opposite side, Jason and Duke cuss solely in ASL to avoid getting the bat-glare

Jason knows ASL because of a hard-of-hearing girl he befriended in middle school before he died. The whole situation convinced him to reach out to her and check in (She’s doing great as an electrical engineer)

Bruce, continuing the tradition of ‘language days’ where they can only converse in one language the entire day, quickly adds ASL to the list

Dick finger spells EVERYTHING bc his brain goes a mile a minute and it’s easier for him to reuse the same 30 signs

Except conversations with him take forever

The signs for drinking water and drinking alcohol are slightly different so Jason will consistently use the opposite sign for whichever one he means

Tim is the quickest to learn ASL but also when he’s tired he gets a little bit sloppy with it

The signs for Coca Cola and shoot up narcotics are homophones (practically the same motion), and this interferes with Tim’s love of soda

Alfred: you want what master tim???

Tim, who just wants a coke: ):

Bruce is a bit rusty on his signing and he does automatic signs sometimes without really thinking about it, and sometimes they’re slightly off

Bruce, to Cass, after she asks him if he wants to spar while he’s busy working with Superman on a case: sorry - sweetheart - we - work

What he actually signs: sorry - sweetheart - we - making out

This, naturally, leads Cass to believe that Clark and Bruce are in a relationship

Bruce claims that he forgot that the signs ‘work’ and ‘make out’ were similar but Clark just smirks and calls it a Freudian Slip

Bruce is extremely precise with every sign he makes after that

Tim and Damian start getting into an unspoken competition to see who is more fluent in the language

It escalates into a fight completely in ASL, which is unnerving because usually their fights involve more swords (Damian) and screaming (Tim)

Cass also knows CSL, which is much more different because of the different form structure of the Chinese language.

She’ll randomly switch from ASL to CSL in order to completely confuse the family

Steph pops in one day with around twenty sign language textbooks that she needs to return to the Manor Library

Bruce: wait when did do you even take those in the first place

Steph fingerspells ‘idk’ and bounds away to talk to Cass and Tim

Duke, upon discovering no sign language resources at his school, starts a club to learn with other people. He brings in Cass and Jason to teach them the basics every Friday

The first lesson: HOW TO CUSS IN SIGN LANGUAGE 101

immediately every kid in Duke’s school is hiding their cursing in sign language

Bruce gets a call from the school and (tired!dad) tells Jason and Duke that maybe next meeting he should teach something a little more... pg

Jason is absolutely unremorseful and laughs throughout the entire lecture

Until Alfred enters the conversation

(Next club meeting, a humbled Jason and a delighted Cass teach lesson 2: how to say please, thank you, and sorry)

A random kid in the club: ‘hey isn’t Jason Todd the name of Duke’s brother that died’

Jason: *signs* sorry I don’t really know how to to answer that in sign language

The kid:

Also Barbara is easily the most fluent out of all of them

She and Tim set up a special pair of gauntlets that would translate any sign language into spoken audio so that Cass could sign while on patrol and the team on comms would still understand her

I’m learning ASL right now and I cannot stop thinking abt the mess that is the batfam trying to learn it as quick as possible

Show/movies generally fail because of three things: too much focus on plot, too much focus on the audience, too much focus on characterization.

Y’all wait- okay so when they went to the past (Avengers Endgame) Loki gets the tesseract and escapes, creating the show Loki, which is how they work around his death in IW. But what about everyone else that was affected by the time travelers? STEVE TOLD PAST STEVE THAT BUCKY WAS ALIVE. WE TECHNICALLY HAVE AN ACTIVE STEVE ROGERS IN THE MCU AND HE KNOWS ABOUT BUCKY BEFORE THE EVENTS OF CATWS

*clap clap* don’t apologize that your summary is awful. Don’t say ‘I know this summary sucks but the fic is better I promise.’ That turns people off. Post the summary, it’s okay if it’s not fantastic because between your tags and the title and the summary, readers will figure out what you’re trying to get across. don’t apologize about your summary it sets a bad precedent for the fic.

the fact that amandla stenberg identifies as they/them but expects to be ignored in the media so they don’t talk about it a lot is fucking depressing, like. When they came out the support that people had for Elliot was not there. Both are great and deserve to be called the pronouns they identify with and it’s sad that Amandla can’t because nobody listened to them when they did.
