#dick and kate getting parent trapped by their dogs

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

YOU HAVE SUMMONED ME honestly I was worried that this was super late but then I saw the time stamp on your post and I was like 😀 tis still shenanigan time!! HALEY!!! aka BITEWING!!!! sweet angel baby puppy love of my life. she’s adorable. she only has three legs! when dick rescued her from getting abused by some random jerks in the street she BIT HIM hard enough that he needed STITCHES. and he said “oh i’m gonna take her to the pound tomorrow” and babs and tim were like 👀 uh huh, sure you are dick… and next thing you know we see he’s got toys for her and a bed and a bowl with her name on it. her name was voted on by readers and is a nod to haly's circus! (which writers occasionally forget that dick owns now, but that’s a whole other tangent) she is a tiny menace and I love her! just in canon we’ve seen her try to play with/tear up important papers, she ate dick’s tv remote and tore up his couch, and she has daydreams about fighting crime as bitewing 🩵 she very much strikes me as an ankle biting menace while she’s still a puppy, and I feel like lucky would literally have to scruff her to pull her away from a fight… which honestly also feels right for kate and dick in some cases 😂

This is amazing I am sobbing I am weeping Kate and Dick with their disabled doggos

(Also Dick and Clint lowkey soulmate vibes???)

I was imagining Kate losing Lucky at a dog park (full disclosure I have no idea how dog parks work, maybe just a regular park?) and she's getting pizza to lure Lucky (and potentially also Jeff???) back to her, she's not super worried, she's chatting to Cute Tall Guy who is ALSO missing his dog. He's not getting pizza for doggo, just for him. Anyway SUDDENLY A RUCKUS and Kate and Tall Guy hear Barking! And individually they are thinking, well, my dog might have just started a gang war

again

This is fine

It turns out puppo Haley has found a stray cat mama with a new litter of kittens and has planted herself between the cat and some other dogs who are clearly VERY poorly behaved, but she is a hero and that's! what! heroes! do! However Haley is a pup and also missing a leg she could use some backup basically, and Lucky, who has never met a disaster he doesn't love, decides to ALSO plant himself between the mean dogs (who are lowkey trying to bully Haley) and Haley and the cats. Jeff might be there but mostly for the Drama bc he's a messy bench like that

Anyway Dick and Kate proceed to RIP INTO the other dog owners and then look at each other askance like wtf are we supposed to do with the cat?!?!?! Who has decided Haley is just a big dumb kitten she lost and has adopted her (very bruce-coded of the cat tbh). And kittens?!?! One of them is orange and has something going on with an eye and Kate is like oh NO this kitten is a cat Lucky I can't believe I have at least one cat now

(clint: you know you don't have t--

Kate: who am I to argue with the cat distribution system)

Dick is frantically calling up his favorite animal expert (it's Damian) about how to safely move mama and kittens? And where? Vet??!?!? Animal shelter?!?!?! Tim?!?!

To be fair Dick could have probably figured it out if he was alone but Kate is there and his brain makes dialup noises when he looks at her for too long yes he's WEAK leave him alone

At some point Kate winds up sitting on the ground and Haley flops into her lap and passes out because it's been a big day for a puppy and Lucky and Jeff give Kate the BIGGEST SADDEST BABY EYES because that's their spot?? Why is this interloper hogging the Pizza Girl? Lucky turns Sad Dog Eye on Dick like Dick is just going to remove his darling puppy from her nap spot? Sir. Please be serious.

Idk where i was going with this but also Lucky the hardened established dog hero and Haley his young impetuous sidekick dog, Jeff finding missions for them working out of Batcow's barn. BITEWING!!! I am dead. Pandemonium is their business.

lol for some reason Haley is giving me cat vibes a little. Lucky is like, this is Pizza Girl. Protecting Pizza Girl is my sworn duty. And Haley is like I am BITEWING. This is my human sidekick, Nightwing.

(Also for some reason I'm lowkey vibing Clint and Babs???? For this???? I think they are besties regardless but just seeing them watching their favo disaster birds getting parent trapped by their DOGS like "are you seeing this? I'm not the only one seeing this right????")

ANyway maybe Clint has custody of Lucky so Kate and Jeff are moping hanging out at a park (Jeff is an extrovert and he is LONELY he wants FRIENDS) and one of two things happens:

Haley bolts and Dick is chasing after her and hears someone go "Don't you BARK at him, he didn't do anything! He just wants to be friends!" which makes Dick have the simultaneous thoughts of "oh no what did my dog do" and "how DARE you yell at my dog!!"

he rounds the corner and sees Haley looking as chagrined as a chaos pup can look before scootching closer to the other dog and licking its...nose. Snout?

"That's a shark," Dick says. The shark in question is now dragging out what appears to be a rotisserie chicken and is sharing it with Haley.

"What?" Kate says. "No, he's just a rare breed of dog. The, uh. The Chilean Hairless....land...shark."

OR Haley is Not Afraid! She decided she and Dick were playing fetch with one of his escrima sticks and she took OFF so now Dick is yelling for her hoping she comes back with the same stick she left with.

So Dick is hollering for her and Kate answers back "Haley is over here! Uhh assuming Haley is a dog and not a child, or a bird, or a lizard of some kind?"

And that's when Dick sees his dog playing with his escrima stick with a shark??? who is leaving dents in his weapon????

Kate isn't even looking at Dick when she's like "hey, do you come here often? Jeff has been really lonely and she's the first dog we've met that isn't terrified of him, so that's pretty cool, anyway hi my name is Kate...." and THEN she looks up (and up, and up) at Dick and is like. oh my god. is this why Gwen said we should try this park today??? Because of beautiful dog dad man?

either way Jeff REFUSES to leave Haley which means Dick and Kate have to spend most of the day together. At some point MODOK tries to steal Jeff back and Haley plants herself in front of Jeff and growls at MODOK and she's actually pretty intimidating but it's still the cutest thing ever. Jeff and Haley are ride-or-dies, like Jeff will be mad at Dick when Haley has to go to the vet.

WHEN TO SWIPE LEFT!We’re all just busy little bees, aren’t we? Or atleast that’s what I like to say in-between the 6 hour Sunday Netflix binges and hourly IG checks. Regardless of how we choose to spend our time, it’s precious and we don’t need to waste it engaging with people who…I’m just going to say it… SUCK. I’d rather spend an evening trying to figure out DC’s latest sex scandal alongside Olivia Pope than chat with a guy who is likely to be less stimulating in person than my 1st grade pet goldfish (RIP blossom-tale).I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit swiping through dating apps and going on dates. I like to think of myself as the Nancy Drew of these suckers now. I can sleuth around someone’s profile and dig up information on them faster than President Trump can craft an offensive tweet. But, most of the time it just takes a 10 second scroll and a couple zooms to figure out which way to swipe. Just remember, you don’t have to look hard to spot a douchebag in his natural environment.Here’s 10 things about guys profiles that I’ve learned MAY be red flags and you should take note of next time you’re swiping through Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, or whatever your poison is…Laundry Lists- Every now and then I’ll be swiping my way through men on my poison and I’ll see something in a bio that leads me to a quick double take and a deep cringe. That something is a little laundry list (I swear it’s typically fucking bulleted) of qualities or things a man wants in a woman. Common items I see in these bullets are “a woman who cares about her physical fitness (I’m a gym rat and I’ll likely break up with you if you gain 5 lbs),” “drama free (I’m a dramatic nightmare),” “non-crazy women (I cause normal human beings to do insane things)”, someone who knows how to have a good time (first date fuck?).” Usually these lists are preceded by a single statement like “ 6’1 southern gentleman..not here for games.” Really? Well gosh darn, I was hoping we could play a nice civil round of parcheesi..Grammatical/Spelling Errors- I think that one’s grammar and spelling (especially on a dating app) says a lot about a person. Now-I get that we all suck at this a little more each day because we’re glued to these little devices that do everything for us from navigating to conjugating verbs, BUT having these little devices in our possession is even less of an excuse for these types of errors to exist. DUDE, take the time to spellcheck that shit. If a guy can’t put a little bit of thought and time into the thing that serves as your first impression of him, do you think he’s ever gong to take the time to buy you dinner, lick your pussy, or meet your parents? Whether you’re looking for a hot one night fling or your future hubby Mr. INeedADictionary may not be your guy.Pup Pics- Do I love cute dogs? Ofcourse I do. Am I one of the 681,000 followers of PuppiesOfInstagram? Uh duh! Do I want date a puppy? Uh nah! Although some of my best cuddling sessions have been with my pup Lucky, thankfully I’ve never resorted to dating her…Atleast not yet. If it looks like the only thing a guy is advertising is his dog…that may in fact be the only thing he has to advertise.Lady Shots- Posting a picture with your mom, your sweet nana or your identical twin sister?…It’s cute and will probably get you a “Would You Rather" message from the Girl Next Door…Post four pictures of four different hot blonde women standing next to you in bikinis on a white sand beach…you might as well post a picture of your limp dick… you’ll get the same results. Ladies, I don’t care how ripped his abs are next to those girls, the genitalia metaphor should serve as enough of a clue as to how to handle this situation.SELFIES- These are the only thing worse than pictures with other women….I think I can speak for most women on the planet and advise men to stop taking embarrassing mirror and bicep selfies. It doesn’t make you look hot, funny or smart to post one of these suckers on your profile. I’ll excuse one selfie or two if it’s in front of an Egyptian sphinx or some shit, but even then I’m semi judging you (are you really that shy to ask a tourist you will never see again to snap a quick pic?). Think about it… if someone can’t find a few pictures of themselves that are with friends, next to a family member on a holiday, at a wedding, or hell-even a Linkedin headshot, what kind of person is this? Do you go out in the sun? Are you a caveman? Are you one of those people who doesn’t put their cart away at the grocery store?Instagram Handle Only Bios- Whatever the fuck this means, please swipe me far far away from this hot mess.The Almighty World Traveler- I’ve fallen into this trap and dated the almighty world traveler… and it fucking sucks. They care about traveling, having sex while traveling, and traveling, and well.. traveling more. You’ll likely see them standing next to every wonder of the world, with captions and bios that say something on the lines of “looking for an adventurous soul to match mine,” or “looking for a partner in crime to travel the world.” It all sounds great until you realize they are broke AF, the only residence they can claim is their parent’s basement, and they have an STD from every part of the world.Basic Bastards- I’ll be the first to admit that you can easily find me wearing leggings, holding a Kate Spade purse, sipping on a pumpkin spice latte in line at Orange Theory on a Saturday afternoon to burn off calories to make up for my ladies wine night I will be going to that evening. BUT do I post this image on my dating profile? C’mon, I’m at least intelligent enough that I try to pretend like I’m not one of the biggest basic bitches out there. For some reason though, Basic BASTARDS don’t get the memo that this lifestyle isn’t one to flaunt. These guys usually have some sort of “bro pic” with fellow basic bastards pretending like they are 21 again at club, shirtless beach pictures with their ex-girlfriends cut out, maybe one or two duck face selfies from 2013, some type of almighty world travel photo, a craft beer inspired shot, and a Ray Ban appearance (likely featured in a poor quality selfie taken in the front seat of his car). I don’t need to tell you what to do with this one.Mr. Perfect-I’ve learned that men who seem to go out of their way to excessively exaggerate how much they want a wife, a soulmate, “a no drama relationship,” a partner in crime to spoil, blah de da de da….. are far from my idea of a perfect match. In my experience people who actually spell this out are typically needy man-children (is this a plural word? If not, I just made it one) who women end up running from and having to block on four social media accounts after one month of dating. I’ve found that genuine people who are intelligent and caring and want a normal, healthy relationship just write a little bit about themselves in their bios and maybe include a few witty lines to try to catch a woman’s attention. Remember, imperfections are typically underrated.Fish Pictures- Lastly, I can’t really fathom why posting a picture of yourself holding a huge fish on Catamaran is a bad sign but IT IS.…What he’s holding isn’t the only thing that’s smells fishy. via /r/dating_advice
