#is why Wally is meeting him on a ship

[gaywineauntsstuff]

Dick Grayson ships in order of how toxic you should write them as adults in an established relationship imo (no batcest and we can discuss the harem at a later time)

Least

Dick X Wally: this is the quintessential friends to lovers story it’s adorable. Naturally a lil bit of toxicity bc nightwing is not a healthy person but still the ratio is 99% cute and 1% angst as adults. Feel free to angst away with the Robin/KF thing

Worlds where this is cute: young justice, earth prime pre Wally meeting Linda.

Dick X Kori: listen to me, if you ignore all the shitty writing (yes the babs wedding thing) they r perfect <3. The only person who I believe can be the lights light ya know. The broke up because they both took hits they couldn’t recover from but they still love each other and they’re my favorite canon pairing they should get back together and have a kid and be a cute lil family.

Worlds where this is cute: TT, Earth prime, DCAU, injustice, titans tomorrow, Lego Batman (every single earth actually)

Dick X Zatanna: cute, childhood crush turned sweethearts turned friends nothing to say here I just don’t think it would be toxic

Worlds where this is cute: young justice

Worlds where this should never happen: all the rest (she dated his dad)

Dick X Joey: I love them so I’m biased their relationship is on par with Dick and Wally taking field trips in the 80s. Also this is joeys most popular ship and that makes me laugh. BUT ANYWAY they’re just very homoerotic and I feel like they respect each other enough the toxicity would be on the lower side.

Worlds where this is cute: literally anytime before he possesses his dad’s body.

Times this is concerning: post possessing nightwings body (anyone remember that happening I just ignore it now, cuz I hate the whole evil Joey thing but if you wanna take this ship from 30% toxic to 140% write it post possession with the dude who had autonomy issues)

Dick x Kara: I just feel like the hero worship would get in the way a little bit

Worlds where this is cute: worlds finest

Worlds where this isn’t: the rest

Dick x Roy: I love them sm ur honor (despite how low I’m putting this, it’s one one my top ships) listen Dick and Roy adore each other and would die for each other, but the baggage?? The years of expectations?? The fights??? The fact that Dick gets more and more closed off when he’s mad usually but him and Roy in the same room and fists fly?? But the only people who can talk to Dick when he’s spiraling are Roy and Donna. Like ROY HARPER is one of Dick people!! You don’t understand how much I love how they can hurt each other while loving each other so so so much. They cause me pain. I don’t believe they’d ever mellow out Dick and Wally tho bc they’re whole relationship is heated they have never had a chill emotion about each other in their history of being characters that exist in the same space.

Worlds where this is cute: literally any world where the titans exist/have existed with speedy and Robin as core members

Worlds where no?: new 52 (I hate new 52 and ignore it tho so no universe sucks bc new 52 isn’t real and can’t hurt me)

Dick X Harley Quinn: see I hated this ship and I hate it in canon but I once read a fic that was good enough I now ship it on the dl and think it would be good for Harley to be with someone who can be a safety net. But like this is AU rare pair type shit and it’s low bc I literally cannot picture a canon universe where this isn’t the most toxic thing ever.

Worlds where yes: DCAU (AU) not even the canon one like the AU of the AU that is the DCAU (take a shot Everytime I say AU)

Dick X Shawn Tsang: I’m sorry yall Shawn was such a boring character I forgot she existed but I remember that she broke up with him after he lost his memory cuz she thought he was ghosting her and like not only does it feel like she just existed to give dick a love interest. Also this comic featured the character death wing and so it’s so low not bc the ship sucks except it does bc why dick?? Are you dating someone who hates heroes?? Why r u like this??? Stopppp but also bc imo the ship has a white bread type of content that is toxic to me personally and that’s more important.

Dick x Bea Bennet: I loved them sm in the beginning, best part of the Ric Grayson arc and then they added the spyral ties and made her a pirate and tbh that ruined it for me. Dick and Bea only work as a cute relationship if Bea is a way out or a window into the outside world like something to ground the man who is always trying to get his feet off the ground. It would be interesting. But now she’s just another another relationship where he didn’t know who he was dating and tbh I don’t think he’d be down for that post literally everything that’s ever happened to him romantically after the age of 16

Dick Babs: yes it’s this low, no I will not change it. It should be lower but I used to ship this so it’s only my fond memories keeping it this high. Babs slept with his father after dating him in at least 2 universes. Dick left Gotham for freedom and she quite literally drags him back Everytime they’re together it feels like about 30 years of Dicks character development is erased. And let’s not talk about Barbara used to be a congress woman Gordon. They deaged her to make her a decent love interest for someone who was a kid when she was running for congress. And because of the fact their characters don’t naturally balance out the way some of his other canon ships do (Bea, Shawn, KORI(the best canon ship imo), hell even Helena) it leads to the characters becoming flanderizations of themselves. Dick is a loveable himbo whose only defining characteristic is his ass and I hate to say it Barbara Gordon literally just turns into female Bruce and I hate it so much but genuinely read though some of their older stuff it’s like..ugh. Anyway I hate this ship I think it’s bad for both of them and while I’m not babs biggest fan I still like her and she and Dick should be best friends who get drunk on weekends and shit talk the bats and their respective teams (titans, birds of pray)

Dick X Helena bertinelli: yall wtf is this ship, if this is your main ship? Why? Tell me? Like what?? Helena??? Esp prime earth Helena?? He has more chemistry with midnighter than her (but we are not discussing the harem so I will remain silent)

Now the most toxic ship that isn’t incestuous is so obvious bc no one has ever pictured this ship with a modicum of health in it except its creator (derogatory) I’m 99% sure every single fic tagged this also has the domestic violence tag

Dick X Catalina Flores. Yeah no a billion times no this shit is so toxic the jack Napier fell into it and became the joker. This shit so toxic it only serves as a trauma boat for another person to swoop in and get him out I hate this so much.

Now dick is an old character so he has about a billion other relationships. But these are either the recent ones (Shawn, Bea) or the ones that have a lot of ao3 clout (birdflash) or something that makes my heart soft (dick and Joey) plus his most iconic 2 pairing I will not be getting into characters like Daphne, Clancy or Betty or anything else or the creepy ones like the fact he’s had shit with both catwoman and taila.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Under Your Nose by withthekeyisking Dick and Kori have been together for years now, and it's been a recent habit of theirs to double-date with Jason and Roy. The four of them have a really good time together, that's all. Dick definitely doesn't have any desire to kiss Roy or Jason. And he definitely doesn't accidentally do that when drunk.

A idea- young justice

So when Kryptonians get happy they start to float away, and I imagine Conner only learns how to fly after he makes friends with Tim and Bart (or for ship purposes when he's with Tim or first meets Tim)

And no one knows why he floats randomly because Clark hasn't taught him much about Kryptonians so it ends up a mystery that Young justice tries to figure out.

I feel like it's the same with speedsters but instead they get faster.

First time Wally met Dick he tried to stop on the roof only to fly past and or knocking into him which immediately made Robin laugh which cue'd both of their crushes.

Slipped Their Minds

After a few years working alongside the Justice League, Batman decides that it will be safe to let his kids tie themselves back to him. The only thing is, that since Nightwing is already part of the League, they forget to mention that he is also part of the Bat associates. They only remember when they are surrounded by other members, who loose their shit at the fact that Batman is Nigthwing’s dad.

On AO3.

Ships: none

Warnings: none

~~~~

When the Justice League forms, most heroes have been around for a few years already. Superman has been flying over the skies of Metropolis for four years, the Flash has been zooming around Central for three and the Green Lantern got his assignment a year and a half ago. While Wonder Woman, J’onn J’onzz and Cyborg are more recent additions.

The only exception to this rule is Batman, who has already been doing this for around fifteen years already, though no one knows for sure when he started. And he has never been very forthcoming with the information either.

Now it’s two years later and the Justice League is looking to expand. The hero community has grown since their start and they want to pad their numbers and increase their reach, so that they can make more of a difference.

One of the new members they recruit, is Nightwing.

Nightwing does not seem like the most interesting new recruit, since he is a human surrounded by people that can absorb nukes or kings of the seas. However, Nightwing piqued their interest, because rumors of him go way back.

Upon meeting the man, they realize this kid has been in the business for a long time, first popping onto the scene about eight years ago. Bar Batman, he’s been doing this the longest.

“Man, how come I never heard of you until recently?” Flash exclaims. He and Nightwing have hit it off right away. “You’ve been doing this for so long, rumors must have started to seep out at some point.”

“Nah, I wasn’t really considered a hero until like a year or so ago,” Nightwing shrugs easily, leaning back in the other monitor chair. “For the first two years, I was a rumor made up by criminals, then I was a good for nothing, punk vigilante that was on the wanted list for the next three years. By then you guys got onto the scene and heroes truly became a topic in a positive way, so they became a little more open to my meddling. Though they still don’t trust me entirely. Now we’re here.”

“Wait, they still don’t trust you?” Flash asks.

“No, course not, it’s Blüd,” Nightwing laughs as if that’s funny. “You can’t trust anyone there. It’s a shithole of a shithole. I’m not a hero, Flash, I’m a vigilante. Huge difference.”

“Ugh, you sound like Batman,” Flash complains. “Wait, aren’t Blüdhaven and Gotham like super close to each other?”

“Yeah, why do you think it’s such a shithole?” Nightwing jokes, though everyone has already learned the hard way that he’s the only one, who can joke about his city like that. They’re pretty sure Aquaman still feels the bruise. For a human, he sure can pack a punch.

“Did you two work together? Before the League? Or, like, even before heroes?” Flash asks, rapid speed as his excitement grows.

“Our cases overlapped sometimes,” Dick says, deciding it’s not technically a lie, because Nightwing didn’t want Batman nosing around in his city until recently and Robin doesn’t really count. “We knew of each other, shared information sometimes.”

“Wow, I can’t imagine what baby Batman must have been like,” Flash says, a little awed.

“Probably a lot stupider than we think,” Dick snorts, still remembering when Bruce took him in only two years after he himself had started running around in kevlar.

Right now, he’s kind of sad that he made Bruce promise to let him be in the League on his own, because otherwise he could share some embarrassing stories with Flash – or Wally, the man’s secret identity wasn’t too hard to figure out – but he can’t do that without revealing Robin and that can’t happen.

Robin is still an unconfirmed rumor. There are a lot of reports about him, but the switches in Robins that have been going on made them all so widely different that no one trusts them. And no pictures have been leaked. Babs is very good at what she does.

Out of the Gotham’s vigilante population, Robin is the only known one in the streets and under the rogues in Arkham. All the other birds and bats – save Signal, the stubborn day shift – are pretty unknown and Batman likes to keep it that way.

He and Cass, Jason too technically, are the only ones, who are proper adults now and the world has changed drastically from when they were kids.

Dick might frown on B’s paranoia most of the time, but it’s no longer just the creeps in Arkham they have to worry about. It’s the anti-hero mentality that is popping up alongside the support, the people with grudges on a larger scale that are trying to find weak spots to get back at heroes that stopped them or couldn’t save them, magic that could control their allies and turn them against them, along with all the ones they love.

The world isn’t safe and anonymity makes his baby siblings a little better protected.

Of course, he’s not going to sit there and say the world was safe when he ran around in short shorts and bright colors. The fact that he was out there in the first place spoke to that. However, it seems like the world was at least smaller then, the harms more manageable. Vigilantes less known, with smaller targets on their backs.

So, he just laughs at the young Batman hypotheticals Wally comes up with as they continue to shoot the shit and watch over earth from high above. Almost like a rooftop, but on a much larger scale. B definitely came up with that one.

And so the Justice League evolves with the new heroes in it, while Nightwing and Batman masquerade as strangers to protect their family.

However, before Dick was Nightwing, he was Robin and it is hard to hide years of working alongside each other with only the other one as backup. Even Barbara came later. At the start, it was just them and that’s hard to forget.

Bruce tries to hide it, putting Dick on different teams, knowing he is capable of leading them, and scheduling different training days for them, as well as trying to stay out of his way as Dick establishes himself among their allies.

But avoiding each other entirely is suspicious too. Besides, it’s unavoidable sometimes. They have skill sets that compliment each other well, it’s natural that they get assigned together, especially when it’s a stealth mission.

Still, they maintain a professional distance. They’re coworkers, whose styles mesh well, but who aren’t particularly close.

And so time passes and the world changes more.

Cass is making a name for herself in Hong Kong, Jason is running around with his Outlaws, while Tim has joined the Teen Titans (under the guise that his name is merely an homage to the Robin rumors from his hometown, where he doesn’t operate) and Steph is striking out with the Birds of Prey.

Only Damian and Duke, the babies of the family, are safe in Gotham – for as far Gotham is safe. And even then, it’s really only Damian, whose existence is still rumor. Signal runs around in broad daylight, the first confirmed connection to the Bat.

A connection, they observed, that has protected him thus far. Not harmed.

Sure, they all know the risks of being a vigilante, but there is no more anonymity keeping them safe. Robin is starting to be believed in more and more, vague images floating around with increased cameras on the streets and all the others have been spotted outside of the context of Gotham. Maybe it is time.

Maybe, telling the world that these people fall under the protection of Gotham’s Legend. Of the first hero – though he doesn’t use the term himself – that ever graced the world. Of the man that is still here, no matter what life throws at him.

Maybe that will be safer than having them be lone vigilantes out in the wind, ready to be taken out by any wannabe villain trying to make their mark.

Red Hood has always worn a bat on his chest, but most considered it a mockery (as it was intended at the time). However, when more and more start to appear, people take it more seriously.

Like, Orphan, who patrols the street in her Black Bat get up that she usually dawns in Gotham, Red Robin, who introduces Robin to the Teen Titans – thus also the world – confirming his existence and tying them both to the Bat, while Steph finally takes on the mask of Batgirl full time.

It’s a perfect plan that goes off without a hitch.

Sure, there is a small explosion online as people learn how many vigilantes patrol Gotham and Gothamites start to share old tweets that were conspiracy theories at the time or their own experiences with the newly revealed vigilantes.

Within the hero community people are surprised to see just how many vigilantes Batman trained, though only Dick hears about that, since Bruce avoids the Watchtower like the plague afterwards.

Naturally, Dick reports gleefully about all the wild shit he’s heard in the halls of the Watchtower to his siblings with grandeur.

Like that first time back on the Watchtower after the reveal. Wally zooms up to him in the middle of the cafeteria area, saying: “Did you see about all the Batman children popping up everywhere?”

“Of course,” Dick snorts, because why the hell would he not have?

“Did Batman, like birth them all? What do you think?” Wally asks breathlessly, obviously it’s been eating at his mind.

Before Dick can reply, Diana interrupts: “I did not know Batman was a sculptor, gifted by the Gods.”

“What?” both Dick and Wally reply, confused.

“His children,” Diana says, her tone giving away that she thinks they should understand that. When it becomes clear they don’t, she expands: “My mother brought a lump of clay before the Gods. She shaped me and breathed life into me. I assumed Batman had done the same, is that not so?”

It’s quiet for a moment as they process what the Amazonian princess just said. Then it takes every ounce of Dick’s training to say straight faced as he explains that humans don’t reproduce that way, while Wally just fails and breaks down in laughter.

By the time Diana understands, Hal has joined them, having wandered over to find out what they hell was happening over there.

He asks: “Spooky really had a bunch of kids? Somehow I can’t imagine him with a baby, like did he have batdiapers made?”

Amused Dick thinks about the last time he saw B hold a baby. Definitely better with kids older than four. So, he shakes his head and says: “Nah, he adopted.”

“That makes sense,” Wally agrees.

“So, he just found a bunch of highly competent kids?” Hal says, not buying it. “I mean, where would he even get them?”

Dick starts laughing immediately, because this has always been his favorite joke to make. However, his laughter prevents him from speaking, so for a second he looks insane, then he gleefully chokes out: “T- the- the circus!”

Wally punches his shoulder and says: “Don’t be a dick,” with an amused voice.

Naturally that only sends Dick into a further spiral and he can’t explain, both because he’s still laughing and because he doesn’t actually want to give their secret identities away. They’ve luckily changed topics by the time he’s gotten himself under control.

All in all, it is a win for once. No organization breaks out of the shadows to target them all and the hero community doesn’t suddenly turn against them. The only thing they forget, is that they never mentioned that Nightwing is also a Bat associate.

Dick has always tried to make Nigthwing outside of his association with the Batman, moving to a city and picking a theme and name far from Batman’s influence.

Bruce has learned over the course of many fights to respect that. And he values his relationship with his son enough that he does, especially when being protective – a thing all of them have at some point referred to as being overbearing.

So, when they’re talking about tying everyone to the Batman, they don’t think to make a plan for Nightwing too. Dick is a Bruce’s son and he’ll always help when Gotham needs it, but Nightwing is Blüdhaven’s vigilante, helping the Bat, but standing on his own.

Besides, he is a part of the Justice League like Batman is, they already know him. He doesn’t need to be revealed to them, he is them.

It’s a silly mistake. More an oversight than a mistake, really. And the good news, is that it doesn’t matter that much. The bad news, is that they don’t realize they’ve made the oversight until they’re in the Watchtower and it’s too late.

Bruce has finally decided everything died down enough that he can show his face again without being overrun. However, as an extra buffer, he has assigned himself monitor duty with Dick.

Sadly, Dick is a more social person than Bruce and he regularly shows up a little early so he can chat with whoever is there, before settling down at the monitors. So, if he wants to use Dick as a human shield – Bruce prefers social interaction lighting rod – then he’ll have to act now, use Dick as a distraction so he can sneak to the observation deck.

So, he travels with Dick to the Watchtower, the two of them appearing together as they discuss the latest drug smuggling case Dick has been working on. It’s been keeping him busy, so he hasn’t been on the Watchtower in a bit.

When they get to the cafeteria area where most heroes gather, Bruce stays half a step behind Dick, hoping one of his friends will spot him and he can make his escape. However, instead it seems like a few have stayed behind when they saw Batman was on duty just to talk to him.

“Batman,” Diana greets with a smile, coming his way as more people spot him. Curse you, Diana, for being earnest and nice enough that Bruce would feel bad disappearing on her.

“Wonder Woman,” he replies. Then he adds: “Flash,” because the man has come their way as well.

“Heya, Bats, Nightwing,” Wally greets. “Surprised to see you up here, finally decided that you couldn’t hide out in your cave forever? Or did the kids push you?”

Dick snorts at that and Bruce sends him a glare, not reacting. Clark is making his way over as well and he is not looking forward to that. No use in already embarrassing himself.

Clark reaches them, right as Diana smiles: “Yes, your children, Batman. I wanted to congratulate you on the fine warriors you’ve raised. Green Lantern showed me videos of their valor in battle, you must be very proud.”

“Hn,” Bruce grunts. Obviously he is proud of his kids, but he barely knows how to tell them that, he doesn’t know how to even begin this conversation.

“Come on, Batman,” Clark joins the conversation. “You can’t be quiet about them forever. We want to know about them, about you. They all popped up at the same time, it had to be coordinated, knowing you.”

“Yeah, man, brag a little,” Wally both teases and encourages.

Bruce only feels cornered now. He loves his kids and as Brucie he has no trouble bragging about them, knowing what to say and meaning every words of it.

He wants to tell them about Damian’s last art exhibit, how well Tim has been dealing with his vigilante life and the company, how well Steph has been doing in her classes and how much good Jason and Cass have been doing out on their own. He wants to tell them about how well Duke has been settling in at the Manor and in the family, how much Barbara has been helping the community from the library and how Dick has been making such a difference in Blüdhaven.

However, immediately, he shuts all those thoughts down. He made their connections known to protect them and every detail he gives away to these people, can only put them in danger again.

Of course he is also proud of their vigilantism, but talking about that, might show weaknesses, things they had to grow in. And that is also dangerous. Having them be mysteries is how he has always protected them, he doesn’t know how to be proud without the possibility of hurting them hanging over his head.

Fortunately, Dick doesn’t leave him hanging and serves as the social interaction lighting rod, Bruce hoped he’d be.

After a beat, Dick smiles widely and slings and arm around Bruce. He pulls him closer as he easily says: “Don’t worry about his grumpy exterior. That was his proud grunt. You learn to understand him. Right, B?” then he tugs on the cowl ear, something he has always done.

Bruce lets a small smile slip at that, because unlike what some people think, he does try to be a person sometimes. Like, Dick. Dick knows, which is why he squeezes his shoulder for a moment, a quiet support.

The moment is broken by the three around them, loudly wondering different things: “B?” “Since when are you so buddy-buddy?” “I did not know you were so close.”

Both startle back at the sudden explosion of noise, then look confused at the three heroes, aware of the eyes of everyone suddenly on them, before looking back at each other.

“What do you mean, B is my-” Dick starts, before suddenly realizing something. He turns to Bruce with wide eyes as he says: “Oh my god, we totally forgot to mention that you’re my dad too.”

“Hn,” Bruce says again, hating when it is shown that he’s not infallible, but human. Very human compared to the supers they surround them with.

Around them, it seems like everyone has fallen silent for a second. Busy comprehending. Then there is a repeat of before, with everyone falling over themselves to ask questions. They do so loudly and overlapping with each other, years of press conferences has taught both to stay quiet until they’ve sorted themselves out.

As expected, everyone quiet down after a bit when there are no immediate answers forthcoming. A reporter at heart, Clark pounces in the silence: “We never found any ties between Nightwing and Batman, not even going years back. How did you hide that?”

Dick laughs a little sheepishly: “I was going through my rebellious phase when I first started out, I didn’t want any of B’s interference when setting out on my own.”

“Wait, but if you didn’t start out together, then how did you get good? Did you get a vigilante starter kit or something?” Hal asks, coming over and dropping any pretenses that he hadn’t been eavesdropping.

“No, course not,” Dick snorts. “I was the first Robin. Got all my training before I even started with Nigthwing. B here had already taught me everything he knew.”

“Hn,” Bruce interjects.

“Well, practically everything,” Dick amends. “But I also learned stuff from some other people that he doesn’t know. So, same difference in the end.”

“Haven’t you been Nightwing for the past eight years, dude?” Wally asks, confused.

“Yeah? So?” Dick replies, because he has. He doesn’t know what that has to do with the conversation.

“How freaking old are you then?” Wally exclaims.

“I’m twenty-six,” Dick says.

Clark looks between them, then asks Bruce: “May I know how old you are then? Should you still be doing this?”

Bruce glares at him and says: “I’m thirty-eight, Superman. Not ancient.”

“Wait, thirty-eight? That’s only twelve years apart,” Wally quickly calculates.

“That is way too young to have a kid, Bats,” Hal whistles, a bit disturbed.

“I didn’t become his father when I was twelve, Lantern,” Bruce grouches, already dreading the next two hours that he’s going to be stuck here.

“Oh, yeah, adoption,” Hal says apologetically, cringing slightly at himself.

“Is that too young?” Diana asks, innocently.

“Yes, way too young,” Bruce grits, before anyone else can answer her.

“Uh-huh,” Dick nods. Then he suddenly says: “Twelve years. I never thought of it like that. Are we really that little apart? You seem so old in my memories, but that’s even less than me and Little D.”

“Well, I imagine perception warps things,” Bruce says. “A twenty-one year old must seem like quite the adult when you’re nine.”

“I suppose.”

“Okay, so you were adopted when you were nine?” Wally says. “When did you start being Robin. I know the current one is like twelve or some shit, but nine is way too young to be running around fighting crime.”

Neither Dick nor Bruce respond to that, both giving each other a glance. Their lack of response tells everyone there enough.

“What the Hell, Batman – pardon my French,” Clark exclaims. “A lot of us have sidekicks, but to start training someone that young. And without precedence?”

“To send a child onto the battlefield is frowned upon,” Diana agrees, more echoing her disapproving look.

Again, Bruce feels cornered. He has never been comfortable with his kids putting themselves in danger. G-d, knows he isn’t, especially after Jason.

However, if he hadn’t equipped them and trained them, they would have been out there anyway and that would have been way more dangerous. But to explain that, feels like giving excuses, when he knows it isn’t a great thing to be doing.

Dick steps in again, diffusing by saying: “Hey, hey, lay off him for a bit. It’s not like he had much of a say in it. If I hadn’t become Robin, I would’ve committed murder at nine and spend the rest of my days in juvie.”

Record scratch. Pause.

Another silence.

Another explosion.

The loudest among them is Wally, who is arguably Nightwing’s best friend and thought he knew the guy pretty well before this, exclaiming: “What the hell, man.”

This time, it is Bruce, who steps in for Dick. He says: “We have all been in dark places and bad stuff has happened to all of us. Let’s not judge a kid, who just suffered a loss. It was a temporary anger, you’ve all seen the kind of hero he is, the type of man he has become.”

A beat of silence passes, before Dick jokes: “See, told you that was his proud grunt,” though Bruce can hear the layer of emotion he attempts to hide with it.

Luckily the others drop it too, letting the moment pass. Wally just says: “Damn, just when I think I’m getting to know you, you’re just another mystery.”

“I’m like an onion,” Dick smiles. “Layers.”

Wally groans as Hal says: “Really? Shrek?” which launches them into a discussion about the movie and its merits.

Meanwhile, Bruce is getting pinned by Diana and Clark, they gazes preventing him from walking away.

“You didn’t say anything about being related to Nightwing when he was voted in,” Clark comments.

“I voted for him,” Bruce replies.

“You know that is not the same, Batman,” Diana says kindly.

“Nightwing is his own vigilante,” Bruce says. “He has worked hard to come out from my shadow. I trust him to make it on his own. My vote was based on his work, just like it always will be. It’s not like I didn’t vote for anyone else.”

“Hm, maybe,” Clark agrees. “But you’re keeping secrets.”

“I always have,” Bruce shoots right back.

“About your identity, we can respect that, but Clark is right,” Diana says. “This isn’t just your private life, this also impacts us. Your other kids aren’t in the League, but Nightwing works with us. We would have liked to know. Can you imagine if we learned about it, because something happened to you out there? Or vise versa?”

Bruce doesn’t like to think about anything happening to Dick, but he can imagine the reverse wouldn’t have been very pretty. “Hn.”

Clark says: “You’re allowed to keep secrets, Batman, we won’t force you. But haven’t we proven ourselves to be your friends? You can let us in. Keep us in the loop.”

Precisely because they are his friends, they can become a danger. People close to him are the ones that will be used to target him, he can’t just risk his kids like that. However, he doesn’t think having that conversation will help, so he says nothing once more.

Diana sighs at that, a bit defeated, making a little bit of guilt churn in his gut (though not enough to risk giving anything away).

Clark asks: “At least tell us if you’re hiding another kid somewhere.”

“I will,” he says, because it is the least he can do. Though he mentally adds the caveat; if it is relevant for the job. He tries to ignore the stab in his heart when Clark and Diana give him a big grin in response.

Before he can give it further thought, the conversation is interrupted by Dick, who calls out: “Get a move on, B. We still have monitor duty.”

He is smiling, surrounded by his friends. Friends he made on his own. He looks happy. Confident. A good young man. One that stands on his own, yet knows he’s not by himself. Bruce can’t find it in him to feel guilty about giving Dick the space to become that person. Not when they both had to grow as people to get there.

They were the first two costumed vigilantes the world knew, even if they haunted the shadows for most of their time as a duo. The two of them are older than heroes. Older than the League. They have enough experience to asses the risks themselves.

Besides, Bruce can privately admit that everyone’s reactions have been kind of funny. He’s sure Dick and his other kids agree. If he knows them well enough, they’re probably watching on a feed Barbara pulled up, laughing at them and gathering more blackmail. Maybe he’ll do it all again, if he ever adopts another kid.

Though, he doesn’t let any of that show, just keeping his face neutral as he goes to join Dick for their monitor duty.

He hears Hal whisper: “Teach me how you got away with saying that,” and knows it’s going to be a long two hours.

~~

A/N:

I know the timeline doesn’t make sense, especially with Nightwing as a name, but my fic my rules. This is more to be funny than to actually have a conversation with canon xp

[moonlight0934]

It Ends Here

Speedy leans back as he watches the Young Justice team run training drills.

“Aren’t you going to join us?” Wally asks, appearing beside Speedy.

“Nope, wasn’t planning to.”

“Why? Isn’t this normally your work out time anyway?”

“Yes, but Oliver told me to come down here, and participate. So, I’m not going to participate.”

“You’re trying to spite Oliver?”

“Yep, and it’s working. He’s already texted me twice, because he’s watching the cameras.”

“That’s… really creepy.”

“Yeah, I know. If you guys want to do something outside once you’re done with your drills, I’d be willing to join that.”

Wally grins, and runs back over to the others. Speedy can’t hear what he says, but Dick seems excited. Kaldur is smiling too. Speedy picks his book up off of his lap, and starts reading again. It’s an hour later when Dick runs up.

“Speedy, we’re heading outside. Come with us?”

“Of course,” Speedy replies, pulling himself to his feet. “What are we doing?”

“I don’t know. They hadn’t picked something yet, but they were talking about extreme hide and seek.”

Speedy raises one eyebrow, but doesn’t question it. He follows Dick outside, where the others are gathering. Speedy drops his bag by the entrance to the cave before joining the others. They’re all chatting, and having a good time. However, they only get through two rounds of extreme hide and seek before Speedy’s comms beeps. Speedy presses his comm as he climbs out of his hiding spot.

“Roy-”

“Can you leave me alone? Good grief, I’m just trying to socialize.”

“I know that I’ve contacted you a lot today, but it’s important.”

Connor walks up, and Speedy waves him off.

“I’m not playing anymore. I’m on with Green Arrow.” Connor nods, and walks away. “What is it?”

“There’s a giant mech that’s attacking a town near the cave. We need you guys to go deal with it.”

“Ok, send me the coordinates.”

Speedy rubs the bridge of his nose before he whistles. Wally runs up to him.

“What is it?”

“We have a mission. Can you get the others?”

Wally nods, and soon they all meet back up in the cave. Speedy is checking his gear while Dick explains the mission to everyone else. He apparently got a comm from Batman at the same time that Speedy got one from Oliver. He finishes getting the team up to speed, and Speedy walks over.

“Alright, are we ready to go?”

“Yeah, but can you try to comm Batman? He sounded weird earlier, and I can’t get in contact with him now,” Dick says, looking up at Speedy.

Speedy nods, and starts trying to reach Bruce, but he has no better luck then Dick.

“Maybe he’s just busy. After all, it is weird that they’re trusting you guys with something like this.”

Dick frowns.

“I guess you’re right.”

“This is a pretty big thing,” Wally agrees, fidgeting.

They head to the city in the Bio-Ship, but there’s no giant mech. In fact, there isn’t anything. It’s just people wandering around, doing their normal day to day activities. There’s no sign that there was anything destructive there at any point.

“Turn us back around. There’s nothing here,” Dick says, looking out of the window.

“I’m trying to contact any of the JL members that I have contact with to figure out what kind of misunderstanding this is, but I’m not getting anything,” Wally says.

“And I’m trying to see if we’re in the wrong place. However, there are no news reports of mechs anywhere,” Speedy chimes in, scrolling on his phone.

Megan turns them around, and they head back to the cave in silence. Dick and Wally are still trying to contact their mentors, and Speedy is trying to figure out what the JL is doing.

“We’re here, but whose car is that?” Megan asks.

Speedy peeks over her shoulder. There’s a sleek black car parked next to Speedy’s motorcycle. He shrugs.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen that car before.”

He climbs out of the Bio-Ship with Dick right next to him. The next thing he knows, something is hurtling towards his head. He ducks, pulling Dick down with him. The knife embeds itself into the wall, and the room starts filling with gas. Neither of them even have time to react before Speedy’s vision fades.

Speedy is alone and tied to a chair when he wakes up. He’s in one of the cave’s spare rooms, and he knows this since all of them look the same. There’s a hulking man in a black cloak standing in front of Speedy, obnoxiously close to him. Speedy takes a look at his surroundings as the man gets even closer.

“Can you back up?” Speedy asks, testing the restraints around his wrists.

The man growls, but pulls back.

What is he, a wild animal?

“We will take out the Justice League, and you children will be our bait,” the man growls.

Speedy sighs, realizing how much a headache this is going to be.

“I regret so many things right now. Like getting out of bed this morning,” he mutters, the ropes finally dropping off of his wrists.

Speedy slams his elbow into the man’s face as he gets up. His vision tilts, but he manages not to fall long enough for it to clear. The man is getting back to his feet, his face uncovered now. His mouth is bleeding, and his jaw is already bruising.

What did they drug me with? Jeez, this is awful. I feel like I’m going to throw up, or fall… or both.

Speedy slams his foot into the man’s knee, but the man manages to catch his shoulder with a knife. Speedy slams the man’s head into the ground before he can do any more damage. Blood drips down Speedy’s arm, and he winces.

I guess the JL wasn’t the ones who sent us on the wild goose chase in the first place.

“This is fine. I have to get somewhere that I can look at the cameras. I think I remember the vent system well enough to navigate that. Maybe not.”

Speedy grabs the ropes, and ties the man up as tight as he can. He climbs into the vents, and starts heading towards the main room. He slips out of the vent, and there isn’t anyone in there.

I wonder if I can kickstart the cave’s defense systems from here. I guess that depends on why it’s not working to begin with.

He stays crouched as he starts searching through the computer. It says that all of the cave’s systems are offline. It only takes a few minutes of working on it, but he gets all of the systems back online.

He calls Bruce from the computer, who answers immediately, “Why were the Zetatubes off, and you weren’t responding? I’m on my way there now.”

“It’s fine, I think. We were ambushed, and they took over the cave. I just turned the security systems back on, so it should take care of the intruders. I’m going to find the others just in case it didn’t.”

“Ok, but be careful. I’ll be there in five minutes,” Bruce replies, his tone tight.

Speedy hangs up, and starts walking back to the spare rooms. He finds a lot of unconscious teammates, or enemies, but no one is standing. Bruce is there by then, so he helps get all of the Young Justice to the infirmary. They’re about to get started on taking the enemies into custody when Oliver walks in. He runs over.

“I’ll deal with the other. Come join me when you’re done,” Bruce says, walking away already.

“Roy, are you ok?” Oliver grabs Speedy’s shoulders, who pulls away immediately.

Ow, that really hurt.

“I’m fine. Everyone is fine.”

“You should have called me!”

“I don’t need to call you. You’re not my babysitter anymore, and you’re not my parent even though you like to pretend you are. This ends here and now. You’re not going to talk to me like this anymore. You’re not going to treat me like I’m a child. Whatever this is that we have, it’s gone. I’m done, and this is over. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to figure out which one of your villains that I just took out.”

Once they figure out that it was just a small group, who bought information on the cave and the Young Justice team, Speedy heads back to the infirmary. Almost everyone is awake with the exception of Artemis.

“Speedy, hey, I was worried. Green Arrow wouldn’t say anything when I asked about you,” Dick says, standing up.

He wobbles slightly, but Speedy grabs his arm to steady him.

“Yeah, we got into another fight. Though when are not fighting? It’s not important. Anyway, Batman and Flash are here already. Someone is coming to check on the rest of you, and keep an eye on you. I’m going home, so I’ll see you guys around.”

“Can’t you stick around for a while? Just to make sure that you’re ok too,” Wally says, wringing his hands.

“Nah, I’m just going to sleep off the rest of the drugs at my apartment.”

So, Speedy goes home, and crashes into bed.

[celaenaeiln]

Batgirl/Nightwing Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson is literally the worst. Even worse that there are people who ship both Oracle/Nightwing and Batgirl/Nightwing when like their personalities are completely different, it feels like people are willing to ship them together just because they are Dick and Babs.

Honestly I feel like it’s unfair to talk about Batgirl/Nightwing because I feel like the majority of people agree that Oracle/Nightwing is better but I wouldn’t say I like it much either. There are some good panels between them but honestly it always felt more friendly like the thing that always irked me about them is that there will we or won’t we is so tiring, especially when you have so many other couples who have valid reasons for being star crossed, their arguments and fears always felt juvenile and annoying and then when they are together there is something that just feels off in their dialogue or tone of the ways things are written for both characters. There’s also this thing that shippers do where they make both characters finding a home in each other or being each others safety net which doesn’t really feel true to their characters because their are so many other characters that played a bigger role in Dick’s and Barbara’s life compared to what role Dick and Barbara had in each others lives (this is why I also hate the retcon that they were childhood friends because they weren’t! They didn’t grow up together!) And I don’t care about the age gap, like people can meet as adults and develop feelings for each other but like it makes no sense to me what they would see in each other that makes those feelings go from friendship to romance other then it just does. Like all the skills they can do other characters can also do and a lot of their character traits that they have other characters have as well, like what makes these two characters look at each other and desire the other. That chemistry and desire has always been lacking for me when they are together. Like it feels like just two Barbie dolls being smashed together with writing telling me I have to like them together meanwhile I’m just scratching my head.

You talked a lot about Dick but honestly there are many things that he has done that makes me wonder why Babs would want him.

It’s sad because Dick and Babs are such cool characters but when they are together I’m so bored!!!! Barbara deserves an interesting love interest and a love interest that can be just as complicated and messy as she!

"it feels like just two Barbie dolls being smashed together with writing telling me I have to like them together meanwhile I’m just scratching my head."

OMG LITERALLY I'VE SAID THE EXACT THING ALMOST WORD FOR WORD IN ANOTHER POST.

Honestly everything you said is so true.

There's physically no possible way to like both Oracle and Batgirl and still respect the Dick and Barbara. I'm not a big fan of Oracle/Nightwing either but I like them much, much more than Batgirl/Nighwing.

The safety net thing is the biggest crutch for Dickbabs. DC is trying to push them as if they'll always catch each other but that's only true in the physical sense like literally grab the other out of mid-air. Emotionally the wishy-washy behavior is tiring and emotionally draining and neither of them come out of it happy.

It makes me mad when DC has Dick claim that Barbara is Dick's best friend

Wally's stewing moodily on Dick's couch when he heard. He'll probably be like "I made you best man at my wedding and you calling her your best friend?"

The Flash (1987) Issue #142

Dick'll be like "W

Wally...I swear-"

Wally: "I made you best man! TWICE!!"

Not to mention, Dick and Barbara before the retcon didn't even know each other's superhero identities! I think it might've been the Legends of the Dark Knight comic but Dick's hanging out with his friends when he runs away to the bathroom with Congresswoman Gordon enters the place because "Robin and Dick Grayson can't be seen in the same place!" Barbara also says something in her point of view when they're fighting crime.

EXACTLY!! They do their best work separately. But together their personalities are an awful combo and it really makes me mad.

Yeah, I know I'm biased towards Dick but the reason I took Dick's side is because while Dick may have done things to Barbara, the majority of the transgressions are against him in their relationship. I don't know DC writers constantly nerf him when they're together or why they write Barbara so awful in a relationship when she's fine otherwise. The only thing I know that was wrong from her perspective is during that Devin Grayson scene. But that's just one of the worst writings of his character that I've seen (post).

Barbara deserves someone like Jason Bard

Batgirl (2016) Issue #42

Someone she can save and whose skillset won't be overlapping. Someone she can be strong with and will let themselves be commanded without it weakening them. Someone she doesn't have to feel like she's fighting the world over to call hers.

Jason Bard was perfect, sweet, good-looking, and smart for her. He even described him as complicated as a trait she loves about him.

Barbara definitely needs someone who isn't Dick and Dick needs someone who isn't Barbara so that way both their skills and personalities can shine.

[speedsterviolence]

Wally and Linda for the ask game

Ship It!

What made you ship it? Reading the 80's/90's Wally run, I'd say. I just love the way that they fell in love, and how they really make each other better.

What are your favorite things about the ship? This is hard, cause I haven't been reading comics as much as I used to, so I don't remember some stuff. But! I like how they fit together as people, if that makes sense. I just melt for those ships where they grow because they met that other person, as well as when they ground the other person, y'know?

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? I don't know, really. I don't think this is unpopular but I feel like people need to consider Linda more. Like a lot of ships, I think people fall into just thinking about Wally in regards to how he loves her and what he'd do for her, and how their relationship affects him, and not how it affects her. Like how did Linda change after meeting Wally? Why is the relationship good for her? I feel like people don't look at her enough.

Also sorry it took me a while to respond!

[melancholypancakes]

Author note: This is just my opinion, a pre-warning I am anti-yandere so there is a lot of that and me talking about AUs

You do not have to agree what I say on here, I'm just explaining my thoughts :)

{...}

I don't know who started it first but Wally and Y/n are a ship??

Not canon in the story, at best were potential friends with matching bracelets.

I don't mind Wally x Y/n, i love it because it's a possibility we could love Wally and he could love us. 

{ WARNING: contains me hating on Yandere, if you enjoy that skip this part}

However, Don't get me started on the whole yandere! Wally x Y/n bullcrap.

Honestly, i hate those for reasons Wally is not obsessed with us like that, i just think it's ridiculous.

Why would he be a yandere before the events of his insanity?

The uncomfortable idea of the concept of someone obsessed with you, killing your friends, family and yourself is terrifying than any monster.

It just freaks me out and I get tired of seeing it over and over while I try to find something less uncomfortable.

However, If you or anyone is into that by all means read, watch and write to your heart content and enjoy the paradise!

As for me I rather he not murder the neighbors or us.

Headcanon, Wally is crazy/insane after losing his friends

Wally is slipping into insanity so if we were Wally's crush it is before the events.

I prefer sweetheart! Wally over any Yandere! Wally anyday thank you.

My favorite concept of sweetheart! Wally is definitely him talking through us on the "Welcome Home" website and we start developing a friendship to love with him.

Bonus that Y/n doesn't fear Wally's creepy stare but she wants to save him from home and hopes to free him from the void :)

Anyway, i have noticed people have been making fanfics of Muppet! Y/n being part of the main cast in "welcome home" or that they worked on set/watch the show as a kid.

At least those possibilities take place before the fall of the reality.

I personally love that Wally could have a love interest puppet! Reader, i love that dynamic, especially if the puppet is gothic :)

I do enjoy the fanfics where Y/n lived in the neighborhood in welcome home as if they were part of the show before the current time.

The angst though is Y/n talking to Wally through the website when he’s lonely and losing his mind :)

Would be great fanfics if people made more of them ;)

I don't like a lot of AUs in the fandom except for Actor! AU, Kindergarten! AU, Human! AU, High school AU and Detective! AU

Definitely will make a fanart of it at some point.

You know, it'd be cool if there was a fanfic of Wally Darling and Puppet! Y/n but she's humanoid

Also, baby Wally Darling and Baby Y/n meeting in kindergarten :3

[dontttmindmeeeeee]

birdflash [shock]

I have been thinking about these for a couple of years and now I wish to put my pain upon you.

counting spoilers

[1] the slowburn *eats bars*

you CANNOT tell me this never happen. Who fell first? For me it’d be Wally sense he can love so much (about TOO much) and yk, Dick was raised by Bruce so yk.. pulling the mess that Young justice is, I feel like that’s when Dick had feelings for Wally. But Wally did try to move on and Artemis was a perfect distraction (not that Wally never loved her. He did, I find the ship quite cute but it ain’t my #1). Roy is sick and TIRED of seeing them pin for each other but they’re too blind to see. (😭) ofc, Wally “moved” on but Dick couldn’t quite do the same.. NOW

Edit: Bruce and Barry know each other and each other’s identity, don’t tell me why but it feels right and I’ve had this HC for so long.

[2] Wally’s death. (My personal hate.)

WALLY DIES. And he dies right after he and Dick fight. Dick ofc blames himself sense that’s HIS best friend and HIS long crush. He blames himself for not taking Wally sooner. He blames himself for not checking the outcomes that could’ve come so that they could’ve saved Wally. He blames himself for fighting Wally. He blames himself for basically everything that he couldn’t really change. (Other than confessing yk..) in the show it doesn’t even show anything ?? (Which sucks sense that’s literally his BEST FRIEND. Even platonic would’ve been fine. 🙄😒)

[3] Wally coming back.

My personally favorite, Wally coming back? Yes please. I’m not gonna get TOO much into it, might make another whole thing abt that BUT just so you know it was totally unpredictable and may be Bart’s fault.. (Wally was never mean to Bart, I REFUSE to think so. I also think he can talk super fast (and hear) but he’s also slow (not like comics)) but he meant well sense he literally brought him back

[4] the process of coming back.

noww, I think the flash family would kinda hide him, you might ask why? Let me tell you. That’s their Wally and he’s been gone for gods know long. (I don’t keep time well) and ofc, even in the speedthingy (forgot the name) he aged, sense that also confuse me. But yk, they hide him. But they can’t hide anything from Batman sense well.. HE’S BATMAN. So, when he show up (Wally) he’s super confused sense, new team?? New people?? Where his friends?? Where’s the mountain?? (Let’s say that if it was already destroyed before he left.. it wasn’t and I’m making HC, okay?) and yk, a lot of confusion.

[5] the meeting/reunion

Wally is just standing on Barry’s league chair while he and Bruce argue with each other. He’s bored Af but Barry told him to stay so he’ll listen. (For now.) that is until he hears a sharp breath and sense that someone is there. He turns around and sees Dick. Huh. Dick was there? (Loading screen appears right on his face) DICK WAS THERE?? He speed right there and jumps to give him a hug. “Dick!!” he yells excitedly and hugs him tightly. Dick literally has tears into his eyes (but has his mask so they don’t rlly see it) but hugs Wally back! They stay like that for a long time. On the ground. Hugging. I feel like Wally never had anyone with him and was always alone, how he hasn’t gotten crazy? Bro idk 🤷‍♀️

I’ll do another part with more but rn Im running out of time so like, yeah!! I’ll see you in the other part

“You know what,” Jason says. “This is going to be a fucking disaster. Bruce can suck my dick.”

“Okay,” Dick pauses. He has been driving for an hour, now. “Um, that’s weird, dude.”

“Yeah, you know people ship us, right?” Tim says, typing away on his phone. “Like, there are tags about us on tumblr and everything. We are trending on fanfiction net.”

“Oh yeah, Babs told me that,” Dick says, and frowns. “Why am I always the bottom?”

Sign your life away by navpike

The Wayne family is a good one, well known, well off, charitable, likable, politically unaffiliated. So when a treaty with Krypton is hinging on an arranged marriage, the Wayne boys are some of the first they approach. Tim is very, very aware that the name right underneath 'Wayne' on the UN's list is 'Luthor'. He can't allow some poor stranger to be forcibly bound to Luthor for the rest of their lives. So when they ask him, he says yes, before he can stop to think if this is actually a good idea.

(Mind the tags^)

Big pockets and juice boxes by majorlachdown

“Juice boxes,” Bruce explained, pulling out one for himself, “the most common stakeout drink.”

Jason blinked. “Nah, pretty sure that’s coffee.”

“Most common stakeout drink for children,” he amended after he swallowed.

“And you just carry them around?”

Bruce shrugged. “Never hurts to be prepared.”

The Justice League. They are, all of them, new to teamwork and new to friendship. New to having meetings in space and new to ice cream. New to talking and new to sharing. New to each other. Some things get lost in between.

[garthofshayeris]

I’m such a Garth x Donna sucker… they’re so cute together I love the dichotomy between strong brash woman and gentle quiet man.. what are your favorite ships for Garth? (I like him w dolphin too but ultimately I think Garth x Donna is endgame for me)

They are simply way too platonic to work for me. Garth sees her a bit like a mom and canonically does not understand why Wally (and later Roy) seem attracted to her. Like, there are actual comic panels where he's confused about anyone in their group seeing her as more than a friend. I think their personalities clash too much, I don't see him being able to keep up with her.

Plus, I don't like the idea that the writers are just pairing Donna up with whatever guy. Hasn't she suffered enough (Terry Long)?

Tula/Garth is the ultimate ship, perfect in every way, Garth is literally not Garth without her. She is so important to his development and arc and ugh. I love her. (This does not apply to current comics obviously lmao Tula somehow has less personality and relevance in 2023 than the 1960s)

Dolphin/Garth is cute and I do think they ultimately worked, but the execution itself was a little clunky.

Letifos/Garth is my second favorite ship but DC was afraid of admitting that Garth fucked a mermaid. It also would have made a lot of sense because she was there during his pivotal Tempest moment?? Imagine him carrying his naked shark girlfriend to meet his friends on land. She would bite Roy.

Remember when Power Girl was briefly an Atlantean? It would have been funny if they got together. This isn't a major ship for me or anything, but they have more chemistry than him and Donna imo

my very own au, but i remastered the whole au, new designs, and very rewritten lore for my broken welcome home au! Wally is mentally and physically broken, whiting insanity inside him! Story: Wally darling was once a sweet neighbor, a leader to the createful puppetry land, as humans and puppets made an war once, and now live seperated, due to that, he made one friend whitin a the human place, A woman who had a husband, she seemed sweet but her odd appearance was..wierd..her name was never revealed, but her last name was Reality, quite Odd? Anyways, they were best friends, something wally hadnt had one for a while and almoste drove him insane.Untik years went by, she was just gone.This made him break physically, slowly becoming Broken.Slowly anyone in the puppet place goes against him, they shall suffer and be throw to the trash of void, or when he feels merciful enough, hell just reset them to the very start of creation, and add overdosed insane happyness and make them LISTEN TO HIM. Some survivors stay silent but when they have their chance they warn others for safety when wally isnt looking.The Home and Julia are the only loyal friends to wally, they will tell him everything that isnt perfect or seems suspicious.Only Eddie and Frank are the most strong survivors which stay okay to wally's eye, but when they have their chance, they often just try helping visitors who come here, but often..theyre to late.Wally knows about his other universes him..specially the original, often he likes looking because their ideas of their home's intrests him. Later as each souled human childrens fell, they often are treated whit kindness, but then later it just..gets darker..each forced of bad deeds..then a painful suffering..then finally..a relief of death but..u wont leave..YOULL STAY HERE. Now his main target is the last fallen human..a human whit an odd soul he has never seen..Black soul..a human who lives whitin a disease? how fun..Well..he would love to meet the human child named..

Merijem Reality = )

FunFact: before meri fell down to that place, her father was first, and wally was caught in intrest. [lol, ship? idk- lol the wife gonna be like: DUDE U ARE MY BESTIE WHY U STEALIN MAH MAN?] which was the husband of the missing lady (whicg theciaclly was a spirit now, bc after she gaved birth to Merijem) and honestly, he put him around a never ending forest, and often visits there to tease and torment him for fun, as the Father is so tired honestly, bc all he wants is to find his Child.

like Merijem trying to Find her Dad.

BUTTERS: well- he's kinda cute what's your name lil fella?

FELIX:....... Kevin. :) his name is Kevin now

KEVIN: 👁️👁️

KENNY: he named it now you can't get rid of him

TOLKIEN: I don't think having a possum in the same place you sleep is hygenic

STAN: let the man have his possum tolkien

JEREMY: Just- don't let Robin or Wally see it- and keep it away from Alex he doesn't have a great history with animals-

FELIX: Aey aey captain

ALEX: -._-.

JEREMY: anyway- me and Robin took some notes of any problems the kids have and other stuff that should be noted, I guess they may have gotten a hold of them-

JEREMY: moving on! On the other side of Cabin-A we have Cabin-A-2 :) this is where the rest of the boys will sleep

JEREMY: hello boys! ^^ are you all settling in alright?

TIMMY: TIMMAH! :D

JIMMY: o-oh yeah Jeremy were D-D-doing just fine :)

THOMAS: thank you Jeremy :) SHIT FUCKING DICK TWISTER!!-

ZACK: I may or may not be tripping absolute BALLS right now, but you'll never know :)

JEREMY:... was this before or after you got on the bus?

ZACK:..... Huh?

JEREMY: never mind-

JEREMY: unfortunately there wasn't enough space for all the boys in the A Cabins- so we had to put one or two in Cabin-B

JEREMY: there are less girls in our camp, probably because the rest of them decided to sign up for Camp Bimbo across the lake-

JEREMY: despite the slightly questionable name- it was a woman who named it so I guess that makes it slightly less offensive ^^

JEREMY: welcome to Cabin-B, how are you guys?

BEEPBOP: He feels bonita. :3

ANGEL: I feel bonita :)

ANGEL: also who are you again?

JEREMY: I'm a camp Counselor for this camp- you sure managed to fit right in haven't you? ^^

JEREMY: Oh- uhm- can I ask why?-

BLAKE: they broke up on the bus ride here.

BLAKE: it was tragic

BEEPBOP: I literally had to rip up the ship art I was drawing :[

JEREMY: well- I'll make sure to tell him in a more.... Nicer- way ^^

28 (gonna be 29 this week though)

What’s your total AO3 word count?

319,633 words!

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

If you include my wattpad phase, then DC, Marvel, lotr, Ninjago, Harry Potter, Marauderers. But currently, DC (mainly batfam). But I'm slowly getting sucked into danny phantom

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

My School’s Local Mafia Boss Sometimes You Have To Find Your Own Genes Phone Alarms Can You Deduce Where I Am Now? With A Flashback

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Always. Unless they're stupid comments or comments i just can't with. I love responding to comments. I've had soo many lengthy conversations in the comments with some good pals. I don't mind talking in the comment section of my fics as long as they're good conversations and not mean.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

uhhh *goes to search* I guess Pluviophile? I don't write many angsty endings. Although there is this wip fic which absolutely destroys the characters. Can't wait for that.

Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written? 

I don't write 'em. But I want to sometime in the future. Oh wait, unless you count my wattpad fics. I wrote an (incomplete) fic about dick and wally and shuri and peter meeting and nearly destroying the multiverse together with vines and crack humor. I actually liked the plot I did not like my author's notes. I was cringy back then. Genius, but cringy.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Three or four. I forget. They either insulted my characterization or got way too emotional for something that is fictional.

Do you write smut? If so what kind? 

I don't.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? 

Yes. *sigh* My wattpad one. On wordpress i think? Idk. Don't really care. But I would if any were stolen now on ao3. I will be pissed.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I would love to!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? 

Yes! With Vibey I'm currently working on a tim getting kidnapped fic and in some future a DEH batboys AU. With Sprite we're doing one (or maybe two) of one of her series. With Tristi I did At The Drop Of A Hat and hopefully another in the future. With Cyg, I've done Capture, Grok and 4 Times Jason Hid His Trauma + 1 Time Tim Helped Him.

What’s your all time favorite ship?

I don't ship. I used to. Lots and lots. When times were simpler. But rn, my only ship is from a small but an absolutely awesome Muslim fiction book called Love From A To Z. Love those two.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? 

Lemme look. Okay, there's a whole document inspired by this fic called Living Dead Boy by Terranpheum, and there are some good moments I planned, but I abandoned it cuz I noticed that I didn't actually have a plot and it was just little moments.

What are your writing strengths?

Plot, ideas, outlines, dialogue, emotional rollercoasters, little bits of casefics, humor, angst, family fluff. Yeah. Oh and semicolons. Just a bit. And when I actually try, descriptions. But I have to be in a specific mood and the wind has to behave a certain way for that to happen.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Action and fight scenes. I had to employ Cyg's beta help for that. Torture I think. I want to get better at writing torture. Angst. It is both my strength and weakness.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Absolutely yes. I'm starting to use it at every chance I can. The next fic is gonna have some good ones. I'm so into it that I gave Sprite entire lessons on Arabic words and phrases. She can attest to that.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

DC. The fic's roaming around on tumblr here somewhere.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

A published one? My School's Local Mafia Boss. Because I've just... it's my first series. It's been going on for a year. I've made so many good friends in the comment sections and on other platforms and... some really really close friends. Who are just... so awesome. I can't describe /srs

Have additional details? Please share them now.

Attn Elon Musk: Paypal appears broken. Could you call them please? Also my son Kyan? I just left messages for Judge Cindy Davis- who just got promoted on cons- and Judge Mathew Brower. Our pilot Airforce TM sides administrator pilot Wally Devasier, my brother Haydn Huntley at University of Hawaii Astronomy Department. Why do so many hate me? My x went through same red tape when we got engaged! Who are you sending to Mars Saturday? Do you really have perfected models of us both? Could I meet them? Is there nothing salvationable here? I would go with you or let you send my prototype to procreate with yours there with yours. I believe in your studies and long to understand them better. This is a huge leap of faith but perhaps there's a black hole of possibility, and we need to suspend Judgements.

I love ideas of some aspect of our nature lasting forever and improving our ra, e and of course Elon Musk, is an ever duplicatable human. But how many women would we have to share 'Elon' with?): They're all in love now and we don't want them to violate any aspect of his being. It was awful Biden tried to F him. I don't believe in acting out of fear nor desperation. I'd like to know your plan in full; what happened last 7 years; refunds on every offensive pigs heads from clerk to Presidents and their extended cartels. I know triangulation and fucking from mass community for you must be worse for you than me. I pray I helped your pursuit to Mars and was an agent of support in every way; even if I stood up to you. Which is not easy BTW. When you go to Mars or send people bring some nagchamp. I have alot of bio debris that comes off me. Maybe stardust if someone loved me? You could send some if you want? Lol Pink glow worms came to woods in my garden of Idyllwild. I think they liked my Incense & singing. Why is ship landing by Kauaii? Couldn't that cause hurricanes and imbalances?
