Roy, on the phone with Lian's school: what!? She got into a fight? …Did she win?

[neptunezo]

The idea of the batkids scaring Bruce with “a new grandchild” to only show an animal is so funny to me, because imagine Bruce is so used to it that when Jason wants to introduce him to his new grandchild Bruce almost falls out of his chair when there’s an ACTUAL KID!

Dick: You’re a granddaddy now Brucie!!!

Bruce: WHAT?!? Who?? When??? How??? Actually don’t tell me how. Who is she??? When did she give birth???

Dick: What? No, meet my kid *holds up a cat* her name is biscuit and shes the love of my life!

—

Steph: Cass and I are adopting…

Bruce: Holy shit, actually???

Cass: Yes, it was a tough choice, but we want to adopt

Bruce: Do you need any help with paperwork and stuff? It’s kinda my thing. Also consider the fact that you might be too young.

Steph: Too young…?

Bruce: Yes, I mean you’re only in your 20’s, are you sure you can handle a kid?

Cass: Too young for an iguana?

—

Damian: It happened again, I have a kid.

Bruce: What do you mean AGAIN?!?

Damian: This is my second kid, duh

Bruce: Are you talking about goats?

Damian: Of course I am father

—

Tim: BRUCE YOU’RE GOING TO BE A GRANDFATHER!!!

Bruce: Tim I didn’t think I was going to have to tell you this again after the whole thing with Stephanie, but just kissing someone doesn’t get them pregnant

Tim:

Bruce: Is it a dog?

Tim: No it’s a tiger

—

Jason: I have something to tell you

Bruce(not looking up from his paperwork): Okay, what’s up?

Jason: I have a kid, I want you to meet your granddaughter

Bruce: I can’t possibly imagine what type of animal you’ve gotten, but I’d love to meet her

Jason: What the hell are you talking about?

Bruce (looking up to see an actual child): You actually have a kid????

Jason: Yeah, Roy and I thought it was time I adopted Lian

Lian: Hi Grandpa!!!

Bruce: I’m going to faint, grab me some ice will you?

hey very important to me and me alone, is roy doing ok in your big brother au? if not ok tell me that he’s alive at least because I love him and hope he’s just chilling at home with baby lian waiting for dick to get his shit together

this is the only universe i’ll ever make where roy harper is the last person to worry about

my man found his calling as a stay at home suburban dad

not everything is great of course, there is some lore regarding that ring, but roy harper is a determined masochist if nothing else and jade has a thing for pathetic men

roy harper the only one winning this era of comics, god bless him, his hot ex, and his beautiful daughter. you go, speedy

JayRoy but when Jade finds out she goes straight to Gotham to check if he's an adequate guardian for Lian.

Si she just pops out from nothing and Bats are going mad but Jason's just 'my calculations proven correctly. Now I need to get her approval or eliminate the competition'.

No one dies, but they either become best firiends or unwilling allies for Lian's good.

Roy comes out the worst either way.

do i have anything anything against jason as a character? no. i actually like him quite a bit! i think hes really interesting!

BUT DO I THINK SOME JASON FANS ARE FUCKING DUMB AS FUCK?!?? YES BITCH WHAT THE FUCK?

im gonna go through all the shit wrong with this comment thread one by one because jesus fucking CHRIST!!!!

1. "that thing" first of all. What. she is literally just a evil-aligned poc woman. she has been raised in this environment and as a result of that this is really the only life available for her and thats the tragedy of her character!

2. "why did she get with roy" THEY ARE FUCKING SOULMATES. THEIR ENTIRE THING IS THE INHERENT LOVE THEY SHARE FOR EACH OTHER WHILE ALSO VALUING THEIR MORALS ABOVE EACH OTHER. IT IS THE COMPLEXITY OF RAISING A CHILD TOGETHER AND ALSO TRYING TO FIND MIDDLE GROUND. IT IS BEGGINT THE OTHER TO CHANGE AND KNOWING THEY WONT.

3. "MY BABY JASON" YOU CANNOT SAY THAT AFTER YOU JUST INSULTED JADE.... LITTERALLY CANNOT. the biggest fucking hypocrytical statement i have ever fucking heard!!! bro!!! jason is Nawt a good person! he just flat out isnt! he has done so much horrid shit, not just to his familt, but to roy's family too. like he is not ur sweet innocent traumatised boy, he is a fucked up grown ass man who was hurt and decided to take that pain out on others. he is no fucking different from jade except he thinks hes doing rhe right thing, at least jade knows she isnt

4. "lian baby mama is jason now" ive talked abt this before, but sexism in fandom spaces when it comes to mlm ships is so fucking common it is fucking absurd. why are women only used as babymakers for ur gay characters?? why can they not be complex characters while men can???? it is fucking absurd how common it is in dc fandom and i frankly dont know why im shocked by it! women are regressed to one of three roles: evil villain who abused male love interest, baby maker, BAMF with no complexity or character at all and it is honestly so fucking tiring and just, boring to read??? like how do you not just hate it??????

5. "unemployed" honestly. i have no words. all im saying is it is No Fucking Shock that the woc is being pushed into these awful stereotypes.

now we are up to the worst part. the final comment...

6. "how are you gonna sleep with my man" ROY LEFT JADE. NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. roy was on an undercover mission and fell in love with jade and got her pregnant! he left because he would not be able to arrest her!!! all she fucking knew was one of the first people she truly ever loved had fucking gotten her to trust him and then left her, she had to deal with that pregnancy BY HERSELF. SHE LITTERALLY SAYS SHE SPENT THE ENTIRE PREGNANCY WAITING FOR ROY TO COME BACK TO HER, AND SHE WASNT EVEN MAD SHE STILL LOVED HIM.... she didn't even realise his identity for years!

also why is it always the woman's fucking fault if she gets pregnant? it takes two to tango! roy is as equally responsible for that pregnancy as jade is!

7. "AND THEN LEAVE YOUR KID" OH MY GOD.... [EXPLODES YOU WITH MY MIND] JADE. CANNOT. LEAVE. THE LEAGUE. BUT SHE DOES NOT WANT TO RAISE A FUCKINF CHILD THERE BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT ITS LIKE!! SHES BEEN THAT KID!! jade knows fucking better then to delude herself into thinking she can raise lian safely while still stuck in her life, but lian is her number one priority always!! forever!! she pushes roy and lian away because she knows she is dangerous for them and because she thinks she doesnt deserve to have them and that love in her life!!!

8. "lian should be embarrassed to have her as her mum" i actually fucking wish nothing but hell upon you. have you not fucking read. just a single thing in ur life actually? just like actually can you read??? because i have met TODDLERS with better media literacy than you. LIAN HAS ISSUES WITH HER MOTHER. THIS WAS A BIG PART OF HER STINT AS SHOES. SHE IS DEALING WITH THE COMPLEXITIES OF LOVING HER MOTHER, THE WOMAN WHO LOVES HER AND CARES FOR HER, WHILE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING THE FACT THAT SHE ISNT A GREAT MUM.

im sorry this is so messy and has so much shouting it actually has me fuming when people r so fucking stupid, idc if you dont like a character but dont just ignore all the bits of a characyer that make them redeemable or interesting to prop up ur male blorbos????

[batmanenthusist]

Gadies and lentlemen of tumblr I beg of you as a Lian harper fan girl please post about her older version more ik teres not much to go off of but please I beg of you🙏

[allthegothihopgirls]

dc pls never take them from me again

[idknwhatputhere]

I think it's already too late for that jade.

[cyfffff]

someone get an asian person on the dc team bc the asians ppls names are making me laugh lmaooo like when i heard of roy harpers daughter, lian harper and that she was vietnamese i was think oh cool vietnam mentioned (i’m viet) and i thought she just had an english name because her dad is american, not a big deal since her mom also has an english name. and i was thinking “oh if she had a viet name it could be liên since it’s close that’s cool that’s my aunts name” come to find out lian is supposed to be her vietnamese name?? but vietnamese vowels don’t even do that ia thing so idk what’s up w that and apparently it means willow tree but liên (which i’m guessing that’s where they got it) doesn’t even mean willow tree, it means lotus like?? and i found out lian is a chinese surname that also means lotus so they’re wrong in two different countries 😭 liễu means willow tree though so sorta close ish idk where they got all that from but i guess just a teensy bit of slack can be cut since this was the 1940s*

idk what’s up with ghostmaker minhkhoa khan though bc i literally did not know where he was from until i googled it an hour ago bc i’ve only heard his name in passing but i was expecting like cambodian or smth central asian bc minhkhoa is painfully vietnamese (though it would be minh khôa) but khan was ambiguous to me i only knew it from genghis khan. found out he’s singaporean which i did not expect at all. random reddit thread abt singapore where someone asked abt minhkhoa khan basically said “viet first name mongolian last name” lmao and his first appearance was in 2020 so idk how dc did that like the internet is free 😭 minh khôa is such a specific vietnamese name too like they had to work hard to find that name if they weren’t just like. basing it off an existing minh khôa idk

this is just me rambling abt viet names cause i like knowing them and also these random asian generator ass names are kinda funny it’s giving cho chang

*edit: it actually was the 80s which is funnier bc that was pretty much the height of vietnamese boat people immigration to the us and other countries since it was following the end of the vietnam war so there were def viet ppl around at the time lmaooo (doesn’t guarantee that the writers would be acquainted w any but they were there)

Jade had not had a sleep schedule in at least two decades by now. She could force herself to rest whenever there happened to be an opportunity for it, and in reverse go for long stretches without getting multiple hours of sleep consecutively. It wasn't good for her, but it was a necessity.

She must've been more tired than she thought she was, though, because even though her ribs aching and she had done her best to not sleep, the next thing she knew, she was blinking her eyes back open, and Lian was staring back at her.

"I thought you were asleep." She had been, last Jade remembered. The shadows in the room had not changed, so her little nap couldn't have lasted for too long.

"I wasn't", Lian mumbled. She definitely had been, Jade had been looking at her too intensely to not notice that she was faking it.

"Of course." She didn't say out loud that she didn't believe her, but she wasn't too occupied in concealing her thoughts in her tone. Lian must've heard it, because she proceeded to scrunch up her nose and rub at her eyes rather forcefully.

Jade couldn't help but wonder if that was the very same expression Jason had said she and Lian both shared.

She wanted it to be.

"It's okay", she said. There was a strand of her that had escaped from Lian's ponytail. Jade dared to reach her hand and brush it off of her face. Lian turned her head more towards her hand, maybe instinctually, maybe on purpose, Jade didn't know, but she was thankful for it all the same, since either option meant that Lian still wanted to do so. Wanted her here, with her, still.

Some part of her felt dirty for ever even doubting it. Lian was such a good girl. Of course she could find love for a mother like her. She was so good. So, so good.

It still left Jade in awe, most of the time, when she even thought of Lian, the fact that she had created a whole another person, that Lian was so good and that she was hers.

Lian stifled a yawn, and Jade stifled a laugh.

"I'm not tired", she said, and rubbed at her eyes again, a bit more gently this time. "Did I tell you about Hayden hitting our math teacher with a door?"

"I didn't think so." Even if she had, Jade would've listened to it all over again. Lian had been telling her little stories the whole evening, and Jade was pretty sure that she knew every single one of her schoomates by name by now.

Lian outright launched into the story, of her classmate running late, and how their slightly eccentric-sounding teacher had, for some reason, decided to stand behind the door, and gotten said door to his face for it. Lian kept having to stop between her sentences to let out a burst of tired giggles, and it was all such mundane and for that reason so surreal and precious that Jade couldn't help but laugh at it the same way, too.

She felt light, despite her ribs wanting to protest for the laughing. Perhaps in the morning Roy would decide that this was enough, that it was time for her to go, but laying there, in bed, in a shirt that wasn't hers and Lian right next to her, blankets drawn around them like they could hold off the entire world, Jade couldn't have cared less about anything or anyone else.
