#extended batfam

[spocks-husband]

There's something so so special to me about Bruce and Zatanna being childhood best friends. I genuinely just love their friendship so much-- like they probably could have romantic chemistry if you want but honestly I think that their platonic bond is so unbelievably strong and I definitely prefer it that way.

She's the only Justice Leaguer who knew him before his parents died-- hell, she's one of the only people on the face of the planet who knew him before his parents died. There's a piece of Bruce's soul that she knows in a way that honestly I think probably only Alfred does.

He's a logical man; he's suspicious of magic even when he knows it's factually real. He wants so badly to be in control of everything around him, and he just can't be, and that terrifies him.

Zatanna on the other hand is naturally relaxed, free flowing. She sees the universe as something to be in, not take control of. There's so much that their strengths and weaknesses can teach each other. I'm obsessed with them.

Additionally I also think we should throw her into the Batfam more often. Just for fun. She's their cool magical aunt.

Oh I'm totally gonna put her in my fic now

Once Clark tells Batkids that if they need a safe space or some comfort, then they can come and visit his farm — he'll do his best to provide some help or support.

And he means it.

However, he is pretty sure that they will rarely use this advice of his. They are Batkids, after all! Independent and uncommunicative at the most.

Well.

Turns out he was wrong.

Damian and Dick are frequent quests in his farm, anyway — Damian hangs out with Jon, always appearing out of nowhere, and Dick visits them here and there — so it takes Clark some time to notice that others are here, too.

Tim starts joining them on occasions first. Mostly with Kon by his side, but he still steals sweets from the countertop that they hide from Jon, and Clark just... smiles. Okay. It is cute. Kon is a part of the family, and he is clearly in a good relationship with Tim. It is not bad at all.

...Until, Cass randomly appears in his study room out of nowhere, scaring the shit out of him, telling that she needed a quiet place to read the book.

And then Lois almost gets a heart attack when she wakes up in the middle of the night to drink water and bumps on Duke and his magnificent glowing eyes, because... Because Duke munches their cereals in four am???

(He was nearby after some mission. Was lazy to go to the safehouse. Whatever.)

Clark finds Stephanie sleeping with his sheep, caged in her hug later that week. When he returns home to tell Lois about it, he finds out that... She stress-bakes with Red Hood himself, while they both loudly shit on the Batfamily for different reasons (but mostly it is about Bruce, of course).

Alfred calls him a few hours later, asking to send the kids home for dinner.

Clark thinks that maybe — just maybe — moving out is not a bad idea, after all!

Prompt:

Jason keeps accidentally drawing parallels between his running away to Ethiopia and getting killed.

He leaves a note saying he‘ll be back soon? Three terrified bats AND a supe crashing through the roof of a 7/11.

Casually mentioning he‘ll be going overseas to check up on a lead? Surprise! Nightwing‘s going the same way! What a coincidence!

Jason pushes someone off the roof? “Don’t worry Jaylad, I know it was an accident!!!!”

The next gig takes place at an abandoned warehouse? “Explosives whomst?? No, Jason, of course I didn’t scout the area beforehand. Don’t be absurd. Your bombs?? Oh, those were yours?”

Look, it’s not that Jason doesn’t appreciate a demonstration of how much they care. But he’s getting seriously fed up with the level of overprotectiveness everyone’s displaying.

Although, in retrospect, he could have handled this whole thing better than having an open spat with Bruce and then disappearing on them for two months straight. Oops.

(In his defense, Kori got them cards for a once-in-life-time-space-opera.)

any time I am asked to talk about any of my interests like a normal person it turns into a hostage situation

[violent138]

I feel like the Bats are pretty territorial about their "I know a guy" people. Babs doesn't share her contacts with Bruce, who doesn't share his with anyone; then Dick and Tim clear out massive swathes of the board, and Damian is fiercely against his contacts being the contacts of members of his family (and has let someone get two words in before taking over the call and demanding an explanation for this betrayal). Cass doesn't get it until someone offers to call one of her friends, and then her feathers get ruffled, and that phone is out of Tim's hand before he can finish the sentence. Steph rolls her eyes when Bruce says he also knows that person, and replies "well they don't like you". Jason despises his goons getting chummy with "the enemy" and will threaten to sever ties over even his pizza delivery guys getting shared. Duke meets with his contacts at the Hatch and refuses to even mention their names and will go invisible if anyone tries guessing who it is.

Does this make any sense?

-My favorite Robin in Tim Drake

-My favorite batboy is Damian Wayne

-My favorite vigilante is Red Hood

-My favorite Wayne is Dick Grayson

-My favorite underrated is Barbara Gordon or Cassandra Cain

Hi! Purely out of curiosity because I am always interested in people’s thoughts on the subject, how do you feel about “batcest” in au’s where the children were never adopted/didn’t meet until adulthood/etc? Any pairing with Bruce makes me genuinely nauseous, but I feel like I’m more lenient with situational stuff with the kids since they’re closer in age/didn’t grow up together in my very loose understanding of canon/not actually related/etc. (ie: I think Steph and Cass are cute together even though they’re both “batfam” members, etc etc)

please feel free to ignore this if it makes you uncomfortable! I just really love your writing and this seems to be a subject you’re passionate about, so I just wanted to know more of your thoughts. Hope you’re having a wonderful day!

anon in the nicest way possible, it's disgusting even then.

because it doesn't matter if they didn't know each other as little little kids, they are family in every sense of the word. it would be the same as two characters who are siblings having being raised in two different households as children getting into a relationship even though they knew each other later. it spits in the face of adopted families by claiming that they aren't actually family, and the people who defend batcest are hurting people who are victims of the exact dynamic that they're shipping. it's gross, like genuinely vile. knowing their canon relationship and "changing" it to fit what they want is nasty because they *had* to change it. they know it's wrong if they had to "fix" it in order to ship it. it implies that this person thinks they should be in a romantic pairing in canon, too, but they're trying to justify it to themselves.

and with Steph and Cass, Steph is a friend of theirs. she dated Tim previously and they are not related. she didn't want Bruce to adopt her, she doesn't consider them siblings. yes there is a found family dynamic but it's not the same as the others, who are not only legally family in most cases, but have considered each other family for years and years and years. they call each other their siblings. yes, even jason and tim. tim and jason are only a couple years apart, but jason is still family even if he died? tim considered himself dick's brother and his relationship with bruce was rocky sometimes but he also considered bruce like a father figure, and later on he was adopted so that was always there. they are siblings.

and in some of their dynamics, it's pedophilic dick and damian, dick and tim, jason and damian, tim and damian, even dick and jason because dick was an adult when he met jason. automatically that puts you in a spot where you deserve the deepest pit of hell. truly. i'm not religious but i hope they get their karma. i don't care if it's fictional, this reflects who they are as people in the real world and that's why i know these people are gross monsters. not to mention these people don't understand boundaries (shocker) and have and probably will again, ask me to include a batcest ship in LoF or to draw batcest for them. they have asked for peter and damian. one person claimed that peter and jason would be "cute" because of peter thinks he's cool and has "an innocence" about jason's life and what he's done. another asked for peter and dick. the blood related father and son. so it truly doesn't matter to them, i can guarantee it to you. the way i look at it, no matter which way they are shipped, you are automatically associated with the rest of them. nothing justifies it and it's wrong

and because i know someone is going to try to start an argument with me: i can't stop them from writing it. i know that. and you can scream at me until you're blue about your opinion on the matter, but i do not care and you will be wasting your breath. i am not pro cecsorship because it is a slippery slope and people will dig their claws into that. however. i can let them know that they aren't welcome on my page, i can talk about my opinion on the matter, i have every right to block them and say whatever i want. if you don't like this post, i'm telling you to block me so i don't have to take the time to do it myself 🫶

How did the batfam survive the zombie apocalypse?

Bruce: he already had like 20 contingencies for it

Tim: he HAD contingency plans but was too tired to notice the zombies and was never attacked cause all of them just assumed he was also a zombie

Nightwing: he stayed with the titans for a good bit but eventually got turned

Damian: probably stayed with Bruce for most of it but once he saw dick get turned he went apeshit and either also got turned or mercy killed dick

Jason: took this as the opportunity to get out ALL of his rage. He used a lot of bullets.

Cassandra: she survived. She’s Cass. No other context needed

Steph: she was at the mall when she found out and barely escaped a zombie attack in JC pennies, eventually she made her way to cass and survived but she probably lost a finger

Duke: due to his light abilities he was able to see the attacks coming and managed to avoid them all, also k don’t know how but he is important to finding the cure somehow

Alfred: he physically can’t die (screw you DC you can’t take him from me)

Extra:

———

Jon: his powers as a half human half kryptonian made him immune

Clark: he along with some other justice leaguers got turned

Kon: hid away at mount Justice or got turned by Superman

Lois: she survived with Jon, though she was almost turned by Clark

we can all agree jason todd would smoke 🍃, right?

like completely recreationally (though bro would definitely use it as a pain killer/medically after a particularly nasty fight). as his civilian self. with friends. or alone. on the sidewalk. at a party. at the manor. maybe even try to get his siblings to partake w him.

and like. completely separate from the fucked up drug rings he ran as redhood. like i’m talking after his redemption wfa timeline. definitely not pre redhood but redhood post crime boss

like just get high and play video games while eating half the food in the house. and he’d say the wackiest shit while high, too. like absolute goofball moreso than usual

do you guys see the vision
