This scene was way too perfect for this meme I just had to XD

Original scene by @cassandraclare under the cut!

here's the original meme too even though I'm pretty sure everyone knows it XD

[hypewinter]

We've seen a lot of Danny is Damian's twin or older brother but I haven't seen many Danny is Damian's younger brother.

Dick Jason Tim Cass

I see this going two ways:

Danny gets whisked away from the league. Probably because Ra's was going to have Damian kill him as a test of loyalty but Talia or one of his nurses was having none of that. He ends up in Illinois, becomes a ghost, bla bla bla. They meet again when Sam drags Danny to a gala in Gotham with her and Damian is like "Danyal!?". Danny is utterly confused because he was too young to remember Damian or the league. Cue Damian going into overprotective 'I'm never letting you out of sight again' mode. The giw doesn't stand a chance once he finds out about them. The batfam is absolutely shocked because no one knew their youngest could be that protective of another person (Damian is 16 in this while Danny is still 14 btw). Him and Jazz are about to duke it out for custody or at least for the position as the most reliable sibling. Danny meanwhile is still processing that he has an assassin older brother. Neat.

Danny reincarnates. He retains his ghost powers somewhat which makes him special in the eyes of Ra's. This means he gets a separate training regimen. Damian sees his younger brother winning all of his grandfather's attention and promptly proceeds to pretend like he doesn't exist when he leaves for Wayne Manor. Out of jealousy and all that. Until one of the batbros is needling him about something or another and he lets it slip. The batfam is instantly like "we gotta rescue him" which Damian is not happy about. The entire rescue mission, he's complaining about how pointless this all is and how Danny is probably living like a king until they break into his room. Danny's room is bare except for a bed and when he sees Damian, he runs to him crying "you came back for me!". It turns out that Danny's training was much crueler to truly bring out the fullest force of his powers (no better trainer than survival and all that). Danny thinks his older brother came to save him and gets attached quickly. Damian refuses to admit how much the guilt is eating him up on the inside. (In this one Damian is 12 and Danny is 10)

What if Cassandra Cain unintentionally sneaking up on people and their reactions personally affected her more then she let on?

Cass: Hi Tim.

Tim Drake yelped, dropping his coffee cup.

Tim: God! Can you give a heads up instead of sneaking up on people?

Cass (confused): I said hi when I was close to you. I wanted to ask if you wanted to go half on a pizza?

Tim: Sure, but next time give a warning.

Cass: Hm... Noted.

Cass walked dejected away as Tim picked up his coffee cup. He looked over where she was before to apologize, but saw she had already left, reasoning that she wasn't upset by his reaction.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Cass: Hi Stephanie.

Stephanie jolted turning around. Barbara laughed, shaking her head.

Barbara: She got you again. Hey Cass.

Cass (confused): Huh?

Stephanie (to Cass): Hey girl, geez you are good at that.

Cass: Good at what?

Stephanie: Popping up out of nowhere. It helps with crime fighting, but we've got to put a bell on you.

Stephanie and Barbara laughing only confused Cass further.

Cass (tilting her head): I was not aware that I... Startled people. I'm sorry.

Stephanie: Cass it's fine, we're just messing with you.

Barbara: It's how you are.

Cass: Oh, all the time?

Barbara and Stephanie nodded. Cass rung her hands together, burying how she felt but quickly forced a smile.

Cass: Hm... Noted. Let's go see the movie.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Cass: Hi Dick.

Dick screamed, jumping into Jason's arms.

Jason: Why is this your automatic reaction?

Jason dropped his brother.

Dick: Ow, she's really quiet and it catches me off guard!

Cass (confused and saddened): I'm sorry... I wasn't intending to do that. Again.

Jason (not upset): It's fine.

Dick: Just give a warning next time! Wear a bell- Ow!

Jason kicked Dick in the leg for that comment.

Jason: Calm down, you're acting like you saw a giant rat.

Dick (standing up): Whatever, sorry Cass, I swear it's like you're a ghost and appear out of nowhere.

Cass (surprised and upset): Oh.

Jason glared at Dick with his arms crossed.

Dick: I feel like I said the wrong thing.

Cass (hiding her true feelings): It's okay, I'm... Used to it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Cass made her footsteps noticeably louder, as if she were in heavy boots while walking over to Damian.

Cass (tapping the young boy on the shoulder): Hi Damian.

Damian jolted lightly, dropping his sketch pencil.

Damian (apologetic): Sorry, my reaction wasn't overreactive. I'm trying to finish this sketch for art class I get into the zone- What's wrong, you look sad?

Cass (dejected): It's nothing, I'm the one sorry for startling you. Just wanted to tell you that Jason and Steph switched for who would be with who, me and Jason and you with Steph tonight.

Damian: Great I had to get the blabber mouth, thank you for telling me either way. Um, but are you sure you're okay? I wasn't upset about you sneaking up on me I get really into my art and-

Cass (thrown off by the comment): You too? I wasn't intending to sneak up on you, startled you or anyone. I swear.

Damian: Oh, you usually do it with everyone. My mistake.

Cass nods, hiding her true reaction and leaves silently. Damian shrugs and returns to his drawing.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Later that night, Cass in her Batgirl Orphan suit met up with Jason as he waited for her in his Red Hood suit.

Cass (somber as she walked over to Jason): Hi Jason.

Jason turned to face Cass and he smiled at her.

Jason: Hey, it's good to see you. You ready to patrol?

Cass: You're not... Upset I snuck up on you?

Jason: Nah, you're good at it and I like how you greet everyone. I can't be upset at you anyway, I tolerate you the most.

Jason patted Cass on the shoulder. Cass sniffled, wringing her hands together.

Jason (concerned): What's wrong?

Cass: I don't mean to scare people when I'm behind them or unnoticed. My dad always taught me to be silent when you kill your target... they'll never notice you, but I don't want to do that to any of you. It means that you think I'll hurt you. I'm not doing what I do on purpose or as a trick I-

Jason: Cass, it's fine. Come here.

Jason hugged Cass. Cass hugged him back, happy he wasn't against hugging her like he is with everyone else.

Jason (patting Cass on the back then pulling away): I know you're not an evil ninja or whatever your dipshit birth father wanted you to be. You're... Cassandra. You're sweet and awesome. Most of them are the type to fall out of a chair when someone's phone rings too loudly, especially Dick and Tim, so don't let what they say upset you.

Cass: When I scare you guys it makes me feel like a freak, like my father and mother were right.

Jason (reassuringly): They weren't, I promise you that. When you're "sneaking" up on people it's fine. I do the same thing. We're the type of people who can make an entrance and escape easily when we don't want to be with other people.

Cass laughs.

Cass: That's true.

Jason: I don't want you to ever think that you'll turn into some psychopath because you're not that Cass... You're family. And yes, I do mean that.

Cass: Um, thank you, Jason. I appreciate you being so nice to me about this. I needed that because while I can be a tough bad ass crime fighter... I don't want my family to fear me.

Jason (sympathetically): I get that, but we all love you and I could never imagine you hurting any of us.

Cass (smirking): I thought you tolerated me the most?

Jason: Eh, I love you too. Now are you ready for a night of beating the shit out of bad guys?

Cass (taking a power pose): I am!

Jason and Cass ran off together, ready to fight. Jason wasn't ready to admit it, but he shared the same concerns of harming others like Cass did, and continued to struggle with on him snapping one day, but he saw the good in Cass and he'd remind her of the good person she is. He loves his foster sister for her good heart even with all the hell she went through and he'd be there for her.

More unrelated Bird Xiao blurbs because this idea has me in a chokehold.

Xiao always felt guilty about the scar he left on your hand when he but you. He nuzzles that scar with his little feathered head every chance he gets.

Zhongli noticing Xiao is in a much better mood these days. When the former archon asks the yaksha about it, he swears he saw Xiao give a small smile before he left to pray to the creator.

Xiao gets hurt in his bird form. He can't fight back in this little body and ends up with a broken wing. When the true creator finds him, he can only chirp sadly and apologetically. 'I'm so sorry,' he thinks, 'I just wanted to find you.' But instead of leaving him there like he expected, you oh-so-carefully pick him up and use what little powers you have to heal him. His heart aches for you when he hears you murmuring comforting words to him while you hold him close. He never wants you to let go of him.

-sibling anon, who is currently fixated on all the fluff+angst material of this idea

honestly i could probably post this stuff as like. a Genuine Post. but i wanna answer this now and also have a really sad post right after valentine’s day (which is already q’d) so… here’s 800 words of bird xiao :)

xiao’s fond of sitting in your palm, head resting on the small scar on your finger. he feels so bad for it, always, the glimpse of blue engrained in his memory, but he hopes by covering it you won’t hate him for it.

you don’t hold it against him (honestly, you probably forgot) and treat him as you always do: with kindness. you pet over his wings and give him your almonds, and in return he sings you a gentle song.

he’s seen at the inn less and less often, it’s so quiet on the balcony that verr ends up calling zhongli over. the consultant knew the yaksha, somehow, and she hoped he could find out what was wrong. zhongli wasn’t expecting anything serious, but when the balcony was empty even after he called for him…

(across liyue, xiao stiffened in your hands. you frowned, but he only flapped up, up, and away, leaving you as suddenly as he arrived)

xiao appears a moment before zhongli was going to call again, seeming… almost relaxed.

they talk, and though xiao swears he’s keeping up with his duties… zhongli knows he isn’t lying, but he can see how his debt has lessened. his shoulders are straighter, he isn’t as hunched over, and his hands aren’t balled at his side.

zhongli eventually shrugs it off. hes not surprised xiao hasn’t been hanging around as often when the traveller recently went to sumeru; love does strange things to people.

xiao’s only seen you in his mortal form once, and it was entirely by accident.

he’d been traveling from one hilichurl camp to the next, and your paths had crossed. he’d frozen, unused to seeing you when he want the size of your palm, but even from a distance he could see the terror in your eyes.

he hated it.

he couldn’t move for you if he wanted to—he did, he wanted to stop and hold you like you’d held him, wanted to brush his hands over your skin and assure you you had nothing to fear—as you turned and fled, leaving him alone on the trail. he couldn’t blame you, in truth, not when his spear was drawn and his face was taught with irritation. it made sense you’d be afraid of him, just… he wasn’t prepared for it to hurt this badly.

he’s been careful to only approach you in his smaller form ever since, no matter how far he had to fly. it wasn’t worth scaring you.. not after he’d already hurt you once.

he was distracted as he flew, not seeing the hawk that was diving for him until it was too late. the claws of the larger bird slammed him into the earth with a sharp crack, and he let out a cry. he couldn’t shift, not now, not when it was the time when you were usually walking about-

“hey!”

the bird didn’t pay attention to your call, only pressing xiao down further, but he did. he tried to wriggle from the hawk’s grip, to avoid the sharp beak that could spell his death in this smaller form. all he needed to do was get out, to slip free- but what if you saw him? would you still be afraid of him?

a large stick hit at the hawk, knocking its beak from xiao. you’d picked one up, one of the many splintering sticks scattered in liyue. you.. were protecting him.

the hawk cried and let him go, flapping backward, but you continued to jab at the dirt in front of it until it caved in and flew away.

xiao tried to flip to his feet, but one of his wings was hurt badly, pain shooting up his shoulder when he tried to move it. another weak chirp slipped out of him without his meaning to, and you turned, worry on your face.

you knelt—you shouldn’t be doing that, not to him, not when he was so dark and you were such a bright light—and carefully picked him up, cradling his small form in your palm. the warmth from your hands quickly covered his body, seeping into the definitely broken bone and easing some of the pain.

you carried him back to your messy camp, carefully hand-feeding him bits of almonds. if he weren’t covered in feathers, he’d surely have flushed a bright red, but he couldn’t deny that the food did help slightly.

for the rest of the day, he sat in your palm in a quiet half-sleep, weakly chirping whenever you checked on him. other birds came and went, but you kept him sheltered in your hand, wiping away any dust on his feathers.

by the time morning came, his wing was barely even sore.

Just watched my brother go on a passionate mini rant to me and his girlfriend about how Callum from Bears in Trees is NOT a twink. Words can not describe how much I love this man.

Life of Rescue Bots shenanigans part 11

--- long time ago, Cybertron ---

-- orphanage --

?: so... don't you have names?

??: no, I don't think so

???: I don't remember having one

?: then... can I call you Soundwave?

??: oh...

Soundwave: sure, I think so

???: can I call you Heatwave then?

?: Heatwave?

Heatwave: I like it, it's like a really strong name, and you?

Soundwave: I think your name is Shockwave

Heatwave: nah, I don't like it, it's scary

???: I like it

Shockwave: Great Shockwave... leader of Cybertron

Heatwave: HEHEHE, you have your head in the clouds, Shockwave!

Shockwave: and you have your pedes in the floor, think in big, Heatwave, Cybertron is bigger than us, there are a lot of possibilities out there!

Soundwave: and 47.9999% of end up working in a mine

Shockwave: Primus, you're so pesimist

Heatwave: did you notice our names end with "wave"? What do you think it means?

Shockwave: THE WAVE OF CHANGE!!!

Soundwave: or just wave, we're a triplet, is normal for our names to be similar

Heatwave: oh... what now?

Shockwave: ...I don't know

Soundwave: do you like cats?

Heatwave: what's a cat?

...

--- Planet Earth, 2011 in gregorian calendar ---

-- Bunker's firehouse, Griffin Rock --

- 01:23 AM -

Chase: let me be clear. You came to Griffin Rock, believing the Griffin Crest was a death zone for all kind of technology, except for you

Soundwave: that's why those officials in the control tower let me in, they knew I wouldn't go far

Chase: but what's your mission here?

Soundwave: I don't have a mission, I'm trying to escape, me and my companions

Boulder: do you refer to the bird, the cat and the twins?

Soundwave: yes

Blades: and why to believe in us?

Soundwave: you're healing my wounds, medbot, and you, Rescue Bots, the only difference you have with mercenaries is your sense of help without hoping something exchange, your loyalty is to the people, right now you are the only ones who I can barely trust aside from my kids

Blades: eh... I better take that as a compliment, and my name is Blades

Soundwave: I don't expect to stay in this island too much time, G.H.O.S.T is searching everywhere for living bots to control on their lines

Kade: with each thing I hear about G.H.O.S.T I'm more sure they're not supposed to be legal

Charlie: that's why Dot and I left while we could. Soundwave...

Soundwave: what

Charlie: you are welcomed as much as you don't do any kind of harm to the people of the island, you and your friends are safe here, right Heatwave..?

Boulder: Heatwave, say something

Soundwave: there's no need to, I feel your spark, Heatwave, I know I'm not welcomed here, and I don't need your mercy

Blades: wow, I know Heatwave's bad gaze says a lot but you're really perceptive

Heatwave: I never said that

Soundwave: you felt it, that's enough for me

Heatwave: Can you stop feeling and start listening?!

Soundwave: I don't need to

Heatwave: no, You need to! Because since I remember no matter the day, We always felt the other but it seems we get to accomplished to it rather than listening..!

Soundwave: it's not like you called us even a day in all these eons, except when you were in stasis

Heatwave: oh, well, how is said, time is a big jet, of course Shockwave and you had a lot of time in the senate-

Soundwave: Don't. You. Dare. To pronounce that name. Again

Heatwave: ...my spark was right then... who?

Soundwave: Megatron itself, with it's own hands

Heatwave: when?

Soundwave: when we were still on Cybertron, before escaping in the nemesis. But why is important to you

Heatwave: you are important to me, both of you!

Soundwave: now you're going to say it. Admit it, if not, why you never came out?

Heatwave: did you think it was easy for me to reach you? Compared to you I grew up in the mines, caring for more than I could for myself, dealing with lost and sacrificing myself! No matter how many times I could call you or try to reach you, there was always a fragging wall separating the three of us! But I always was there, I see you everyday even is was more than 10 feet away but I always was there! When Shockwave was named senator, when you made your first experiments, when you were with Megatron at congress, even when they hurted Shockwave! I felt all of it and I always was there! And I'm sorry for you to never see that...

Soundwave: what a weird way to say sorry

Heatwave: do you want a normal way!? I'm sorry for you to never knew how much I cared about you..! And I want you to stay

Soundwave: ...what?

Heatwave: I want my brother back, even if it's just one, because... I missed you a lot

Soundwave: ...

Heatwave: what do you say?

Soundwave: ...

Soundwave: I missed a feeling spark in my chest that wasn't mine

[strawglicks]

me and the boys

[whatwooshkai]

"This is completely irressssssssponsible..." Chase slurs, flopping into Heatwave's lap. "I did NOT! I dunnooooo..."

"Mhm, real interesting bud," Heatwave mutters, crossing his arms tighter around himself. "You're a lightweight, who woulda guessed."

Heatwave doesn't know where Boulder got the engex, but he's willing to bet they made it themselves. They have been sneaking off to work on a secret project lately...

Boulder and Blades are sitting a little ways away on the floor, laughing and talking loudly. Their fields are hazy, far more relaxed than he's ever seen them. And they seem to be having a way better time than Chase or Heatwave.

He's pissed at them for talking Chase into drinking, because that means that he can't. There's going to be a car crash at some point tonight, nothing major, but enough that at least one of them has to be ready to go.

And just his luck, it's him.

Primus, Heatwave needs to get drunk. Too much has been happening lately, he would love to just have an evening to loosen up, but no! Glorified babysitting duty.

"Heatwave. Wave. Wave." Chase is looking up at him, letting his now empty bottle clatter onto the floor.

"What is it, Chase?" Heatwave asks. Thinking about it now, he's pretty sure this is the first time he's ever seen Chase drunk... which means he's probably going to need to assure him he's not a complete moral failing when it wears off tomorrow morning.

"Do I ever-" he stops, scrunching his nose, before breaking out into a grin that seems too big for his face. "Love ya!" He throws his arms around Heatwave's waist and holds him tight.

"Uh, thanks-?" he starts, when Blades' and Boulder's helms snap up, locking on. Oh, of fucking course.

"HEATWAVE!" they shout, before stumbling over to wrap their arms around him as well.

Oh, Primus. That damn car crash'll be lucky if he's able to respond at all.

[thelonelyshore-if]

weird ask but im projecting so how would ROs (+ Willow but familial) react to an MC who has the most shit sleeping schedule and paces around the room sorting their life out at 4am?

I understand you so deeply Nonnie, considering I was up all night reading about unsolved math problems... ANYWAY, I hope you managed to get some rest!! Answers below <3

Beck: "Do you want something to take your mind off it?" She'd ask suggestively, reclining in bed and watching MC pace, half-asleep herself. She'd rather be sleeping right now, but if that's not an option... they could make out about it. Or more. Or, if that's also not an option, she'd suggest 'doing something fun' aka going for a ride or walking around the woods.

Croft: is used to it. They suffer from a combination of severe night terrors and intense hyperfocus, so being up at odd hours doesn't bother them. "Stop pacing, though, and c'mere. You're stressing me out. Let's talk about it." They'd offer cuddles, or, if MC is super restless, an early-morning walk. Maybe talking about it would help.

Jay: normally is asleep this early, even with MC's sleep schedule the way it is. It's been a bit of an adjustment. They would be pretty groggy, but would get up and wrap their arms around MC from behind. Rest their head on MC's shoulder and kiss their cheek. "Can I help?" they'd mumble, closing their eyes, "Or--let's go back to bed. I miss you."

Perri: is the sovereign of insomnia. Perri doesn't sleep more than a few hours a night, sometimes with an afternoon nap if they're lucky. So they're not bothered at all by MC's sleeping habits. They'd offer to make hot cocoa, grab MC's hand, and lead them up the stairs to their lookout. They'd ask MC to lay on the deck and watch the stars together. It's always been their favorite thing to do when they can't sleep.

Ravi: he's a very light sleeper, and doesn't mind if he doesn't get a lot of sleep, so he'd be perfectly happy to sit up with MC. If it seemed like they were working through something he'd offer his thoughts, but otherwise he'd be content to sit up with them doing his own thing. Reading or knitting or even one of his puzzles. He'd be happy just to spend the time with MC, no matter the hour.

Yasmin: "Again, babe?" She'd be sooo sleepy, but would be amused when she said it. She'd try to pull MC into bed, wanting to help them relax. Lots of kisses, probably offering to give them a massage. If that didn't work she'd suggest they take a bath together. Anything to be intimate and romantic and also to Get Back To Bed lmao. She needs her sleep.

Willow: "I swear you're worse than me sometimes." Willow would shake their head, but they'd also be familiar with the MC's sleeping habits. They used to share a room at the cabin, as kids. They'd probably suggest they do something together that they used to do, like put a dumb movie on the TV to fall asleep to. Willow's is nothing if not nostalgic.

A Night Off - (Batfamily Chronicles Microfiction Series)

Cass and Jason sat atop a rooftop, taking a break from their relentless crime-fighting to enjoy a nighttime snack. Cass eyed the chicken taco Jason had ordered for her, eyebrows raised in curiosity at the taco shell made of fried chicken.

Cass: When you said "chicken tacos," I thought you meant a regular taco with chicken in it.

Jason chuckled, taking a bite of his own taco.

Jason: Yeah, I usually get that reaction. Damian nearly had a meltdown when he saw it, but trust me, it’s good.

Cass lifted her mask slightly, hesitating to take a bite.

Cass: How on earth did they fold the chicken into a taco shell?

Jason (shrugging): I don't ask questions. They taste amazing—that's what matters. Just try a bite! If you don’t like it, we can grab something else.

Cass (playfully coy): I’m placing my trust in you.

She took a big bite, letting the blend of fried chicken, peppers, shredded cheese, and onions dance across her taste buds. To her surprise, it was neither gross nor what she expected; it was strange and delicious. A smile broke across her face as she took another bite.

Cass: This is really good!

Jason laughed and playfully elbowed her in the hip.

Jason: Told you so!

They munched on their tacos, gazing at the stars twinkling above Gotham. After several months of missions together, they had grown close enough to share moments like this. Cass patted Jason on the shoulder.

Cass: Jason, being partnered with you has been great. I like all my partners, but with you, I feel a real connection.

Jason nodded, a soft smile forming.

Jason: I feel the same way. You're a great sister, so why not spend more time together while fighting crime?

They shared a laugh, but Cass suddenly cleared her throat, a hint of seriousness in her tone.

Cass: Jason?

Jason: Hm?

Cass: After this, do you want to keep patrolling, or should we call it a night and hang out a bit longer? I really enjoy our missions and love chatting with you—especially in sign language. Your skills with curse words and dirty jokes are impressive!

Jason (chuckling): Yeah, I did put some effort into that! It’s like our own secret language.

Cass: Exactly! And it’s a quiet night. We could go somewhere fun instead. But if you'd rather patrol—

Cass looked down at her feet, avoiding eye contact.

Cass: I love the rest of the team, but with you, I feel… comfortable. When we first met, I wanted to be your friend more than anyone else. Even when you thought I was a bit odd…

Jason silenced her with a warm side hug.

Jason: I’d love to hang out for the night. We can tell Barbara to let Bruce know we patrolled all evening. Ever play pool?

Cass (joking): Does swimming count?

Jason: You know what billiards is, right? If not, I can teach you. You’ll have a blast, and we could win some cash. Ready to check it out now?

Jason stood, extending his hand. Cass beamed, taking it eagerly.

Cass: Can we go in our hero suits?

Jason: I was hoping you’d say that! We'll make a grand entrance. Let’s go!

Cass: Yes!

With laughter, they raced off the rooftop, heading toward a bar for a game of pool. Meanwhile, Bruce, eavesdropping with Barbara, smiled at the exchange. Barbara feigned wiping away tears, utterly delighted as she listened to the foster siblings bond over the comms that Bruce had asked her to monitor.

Bruce: Ah, they can have the night off. If anyone asks, I was never here.

Barbara: Gotcha Bruce.

Whilst we are on that topic, Melina updates! First three were things I did before the con (dyed + styled new wig, made a lil smoldering butterfly ring, and @tasty-patches made me a Blade of Calling with a model by TrinesTreasury)!

NOW, I'm sprucing her up for competition, so last two, I modeled my own Blade of Calling this time and I'm working on assembly, and I'm remaking her dress but this time with Knowledge(tm). There will be more updates too! Boots, weathering, facing, it should be fun~
