Maybe I should just chop it all off. I’ll have to talk to Bonnie about it...

“Ah, good morning Mrs. Kahn! We’ve got just the dresser for you, if you want to come in?”

[grimbunnies]

Stephanie: “Oh, you... Follow me. I have some things that belonged to your mother.”

Asia: “These belonged to my mother?”

Stephanie: “Yes.”

Asia: “I remember a levitating bear and... I thought the things I remembered were just my imagination... My mother was actually a witch?”

Stephanie: “If these were just for show, they’d be in my shop.”

Asia: “Wait! This means you have to know something about what happened to her! If you knew about her abilities... How did she die? Tell me!”

Stephanie: “Get out of my face. I’m not answering that question.”

Stephanie: “Listen, this town is more dangerous than you realize. It’s not just a quiet mountain town where everyone knows everyone. Demanding answers from sims without knowing who you’re speaking to is going to get you into real trouble. Figure out who you can trust. I’ll give you this one for free: I’m not trustworthy. Now take what’s been drawing you here and leave.”

Stephanie: “Asia, wait!”

Stephanie: “I... I loved your mother, very much. I was there when you were little. I bought you toys, and I was there when you said you first word. I know I’m not the nicest sim around, and you have no reason to take my advice. I’m saying a lot of contradictory shit... What I’m trying to say is I care what happens to you, but my loyalties are... complicated. That’s why I can’t tell you what I know. That’s why I want you to learn to protect yourself.”

Asia: “Mrs. Chao, I know you know more than I do about this town, so I believe you that I need to be more careful. I also believe you may be underestimating me. Because you don’t know me, and neither do the other sims in Oak Hill... Thank you for returning what rightfully belongs to me. I’ll see you around.”

Gothamite 1: Mr. Wayne looks more tired than usual.

Gothamite 2: Must be women problems.

Gothamite 3: I heard Wayne Enterprises is going bankrupt.

Gothamite 4: He must be really sick cus he has that Timothy boy doing the work for him. Although, that kid has been gone for quite some time now.

Gothamite 5: I heard he's gay and working at a club at night.

meanwhile, Bruce is just trying to balance life as Batman and as a father while dealing with his de-aged kids.

he knew he shouldn't have brought them with him on the mission.

Young Dick, tugging a toy: I'm going to kick you in the butt if you don't give me that stuffed toy back!

Young Tim, balancing an energy drink with one hand while pulling the toy from Dick on the other: You're so selfish, Dick! It's my turn!

Young Jason: *reading a book outloud by the corner just to annoy everyone else*

Young Cass: *on the floor, trying to balance her waffles on the table, with syrup all over the area*

the whole place is littered with fruit loops and cookies, milk splattered on the floor, the curtains are torn, dirty footprints are on the couches, a cape from one of their Robin suits is hanging on the chandelier, and the flat screen is damaged.

Steph: Ooof, it's bad, B.

Damian: Tt. Is Zatara even in this planet right now, Father?

Bruce, pinches the bridge of his nose: I think she's off world right now.

Duke: I'm more worried when Alf comes back from vacation and he sees this whole mess.

Bruce: I--

then they all hurriedly move to the children when they start to tackle themselves on the floor.

[firerose18991]

Knowing Bruce he's the type of Father that lets his children pick off his plate. After a certain amount of children he's learned to order two of the same plate.

Alfred walks into the kitchen one day and finds Dick, Jason, Cass, Tim, Duke, Steph, and Damian.

Everything is in various states of disarray. The table has been knocked on its side, two of the chairs are missing legs, there’s a new brown stain on the ceiling, the stove is covered in burnt water, and the backsplash looks like food exploded all over it. One of the countertops has a broken corner.

Dick is in a shirt and Batman boxers and, dear god, cooking something on the stove. Jason is missing his shirt but is wearing Wonder Woman pajama pants. Stephanie has a throw blanket pinned around her shoulders like a cape and is leaping off the counters in an attempt to fly. Duke is standing on the kitchen island, egging her on. Cass and Tim are having a handstand competition. Damian is trying to knock Tim over with his katana, but is failing. They all have on sunglasses, and they are listening to music full blast.

“The song made us do it,” claims Dick.

What’s the song called, which one of them made the playlist, and what’s the playlist called?

[pinklotushere]

Ok so dpxdc al ghul twins au

So I've always seen the al ghul twins with danny coming back to gotham to live with his dad and family, but what if it's not danny that comes?

It's dani

So imagine danny being so busy with king duties that he can't honestly be bothered but the bats already know so he can't just continue to ignore it

Imagine dani saying she'll go instead

Imagine the batfam expecting a damian 2.0 and instead getting this girl who frankly looks like his clone (ha!)

Imagine dani gaslighting damian into thinking she's always been a girl

Imagine the batfam trying to bond with this chaotic little girl who can and has pulled some frankly deadly pranks

Imagine dani and steph, no more explanation needed

Imagine dani steph babs and cass having girls nights

Imagine Bruce trying to bond with dani, and dani suggesting more and more outrageous bonding ideas just to fuck with him

Imagine duke seeing the aura around her and going "not my circus, not my monkeys"

Imagine tim and dani and bullying damian (affectionately-most of the time-)

Imagine dick and dani and the uncontrollable urges to octopus hug

Imagine dani and jason and the joker

It would be glorious

[ghost-bxrd]

Slightly dark/insane batfam who is overjoyed to have Jason back from death is one of my favorite aus ever. Like imagine Bruce being oh so proud of his son who ended entire gangs and built an empire in a matter of months before he even turned 19. Ofc he's gonna brag to this fellow JL members. His kid is just so driven and smart! Jason has no idea if they were always like this or if his death made them this way but he's not complaining (much).

Ooo that would be interesting!

Like, a Batman who still doesn’t kill and adheres to his moral code but has absolutely no problem if his kids turn murderous. He’s a proud and supportive dad either way, the only rule he has is that they keep it strictly to criminals and leave alone the regular civilians.

He went a little cuckoo when he lost Jason. As did Dick. (And Tim wasn’t sane either way lmao)

[flame-343]

Tim: hey Alfie, I think you'll need more cleaning supplies

Alfred: ah, hello master Tim, may I ask why?

Tim: * cringes*

Alfred: *sigh* murder to prank war how bad

Tim:................

Tim: I caught Jason and Steph planning a prank and then walked into dick convincing Damian pulling pranks are non negotiable for any kid

Alfred: ........... Thank you for the warning master Tim, I will go inform the cleaning company about the pranks and ask for my weekly shipment in advance

[aeturnum-mendacacium]

one thing that confuses me about grapple guns is how the fuck are the bats holding on them??? like, it's built like a GUN like how are you not slipping off when you're literally jumping off a 200m building to the ground while holding on to that thing, unless it's the kind which is attached to their hand or something the only thing which is keeping them in the air is their grip and the batkids(save Cassandra) MUST have fallen in training cause like-👁️👄👁️

Christmas Wishlist

Damian: So, what are you getting me for Christmas?

Jason: Nice try, brat.

Jason: Actually, no, terrible try. What was that? Where’s the subtly? The cunning?

Damian: *shrugs*

Later

Steph: Just out of curiosity, were you expecting that to work? At all?

Damian: Not really, no.

Steph: Then why bother?

Damian: It’s all part of my plan.

Steph:

Damian:

Steph: Are you going to expound on that, or…

Later that week

Oracle: Robin, there’s a burglary taking place on 5th and Jefferson.

Nightwing: I’ll be there in like three minutes, Robin, just wait for me.

Robin: I have it handled.

Red Robin: Just wait for Nightwing, you dummy.

Robin: Unnecessary.

Spoiler: You’re going to make Nightwing sad.

Oracle: Or you’ll get hurt.

Spoiler: Yeah, or that.

Robin: Tt. I’ll be fine. “He will win who knows when to fight and when to fight harder.”

Red Hood: That is NOT how that quote goes.

Everyone:

Oracle: Hood, I thought you were in California this week.

Red Hood: I felt an insult to humanity preparing to take form.

More later

Cass: Did you tell Jason what you wanted for Christmas yet?

Damian: I’m working on it.

Several days after that

Tim: Why are you in my room?

Damian: You left the window open.

Tim:

Damian: The philosophers are very clear on what to do there.

Tim:

Damian, a little louder: When your enemy leaves their WINDOW open.

Tim: And are you achieving what you are hoping to achieve right now?

Damian: Unclear.

Tim: You know, you could always write a letter to Santa like a normal kid.

Damian: Absolutely not.

Tim: Yeah… Probably for the best, actually, considering past dealings and all…

Christmas Morning

Damian, opening his gift:

Dick: What’d Jason give you?

Damian: *proudly holds up a signed copy of The Art of War*

Tim: Okay, that’s got to be fake, right?

Everyone: *looks at Jason*

Jason, shrugging: The Flashes owed me a favor.

Bruce, eye twitching slightly: Do I have to send the time travel safety presentation out to everyone again?

Jason: Don’t worry, they already fixed the parts of the timeline they broke.

Bruce: *very lengthy sigh*

Damian: Thank you, Jason.

Jason: You’re welcome.

Jason: Now there will be no more murdering of quotes. You have no excuses.

Later

Damian: My plan worked.

Steph: And just asking was too hard because…

Damian: What’s the point of that? Where’s the cunning? The subtly?

[empttygxld]

Jacks. turned. into. a. fate. because. he. didn’t want. to. let. his. bff. alone. I’m not okay.

Settled on the side of Wright Mountain, Oak Hill is little more than a hamlet you may drive through if you accidentally got off the Interstate too early, but for the people who live there, it’s home. For years, rumors of a secret pack of werewolves have been spread around the area, and many locals are sceptic of the Sims that live there. A suspicious string of deaths over the past 15 years only added to the suspicion of the townspeople. However, if you look past the surface, you will find a town that deeply cares about each other and the future of their little community.

It's time for some storytelling!

When I originally created Oak Hill, I wanted to do introduction posts just like I did with Sedona, but life happened. Anyway, I still tried to come back to it and chiselled away at it from time to time. And I've finally finished something. So here we go.

A brief refresher on the families that live in Oak Hill below:

Asia and Erica met in a group home in the city and became fast friends. When Asia decided to move back to her birth town to solve the mystery of her mother’s death, Erica, without real prospects in the city, moved in with her. Will Asia ever get the answers she so desperately seeks for?

The Simms have recently taken in their troubled niece, Kayla, after her widowed father proved unable to care for her. Between two teenagers and Bonnie putting in long hours at the salon, patience is stretching incredibly thin at the Simms residence.

Following the death of their parents, the Khan siblings moved in with their grandmother. Mariam’s got her hands full with the lot of them: Isaac has become a hedonist after the death of his parents, while the twins’ obsession with death has been worrisome, to say the least. And Farrah… Farrah’s talents might put her on a collision course with danger.

When Stephanie helped Cynthia furnish her post-divorce apartment, sparks flew, and Cynthia was able to make the town’s recluse come out of her shell after almost fifteen years. With Cynthia fighting tooth and nail against her ex-husband in the upcoming election, and Stephanie wondering if she is on the right side, the couple is in for a troublesome time.

Frank McCoy has always been an oddity around town, preferring plants over people. Meanwhile, his sons are wreaking havoc around town, with Jack romancing every available woman in town, while Andy’s eccentric inventions are responsible for quite a few hospitalizations. Will Frank be able to regain control over not only his sons but also the monster he created so many years ago? Or will he have to make way for the next generation?

Everyone knows Keith and his faithful dog Pepper around town. So, when Keith lost his job, his house and his daughter following the death of his wife, it was only natural for the McCoys to let him live in their groundskeeper’s cottage. Only time will tell if he’ll be able to get his life back on track though…

Richard Townsend is the big man around town and has big plans for Oak Hill. He’d stop at almost nothing to make his plans come true, but his son’s romantic exploits might put a damper on his chances to win the upcoming election.

what if the batkids decided at the same time to bring their partners to the Manor and they argue about it?

[i can't stop writing long scenes]

scenario 1:

Duke has his arm wrapped around Izzy's waist as they make their way to the movie room.

Duke: Have you decided which movie you want to watch tonight?

Izzy, grins: The Notebook?

Duke, opening the door of the room, chuckles: But we've just watched that two weeks ago. Besides, Dick and Jason love that film, I've watched it a lot of times by now.

Izzy, turns the switch on to illuminate the room: What's the harm in rewatching-

they stop in their tracks as Steph and Cass enter the room from the other entrance of the movie room.

Steph giggles and leans towards Cass' face to kiss her. they don't even notice that the room is now bright with the lights on.

Duke, clears his throat loudly: Uh. Just to let you know, there are other people in the room.

Izzy: Sorry! We didn't mean to interrupt.

Steph and Cass, still holding each other, look at Duke and Izzy at the other side of the room.

Cass waves to them.

Steph: What are you two doing in here?

Duke: To watch a movie? Clearly.

Steph: But we started an hour ago.

Duke: I don't see a sign in the door that says it's occupied though.

Duke has really been hanging too, too much with Damian and Jason.

Cass, covers Steph's mouth before she speaks more: Maybe we can watch together.

Izzy, smiles: What were you guys watching earlier?

Steph and Duke, say at the same time: But this was supposed to be a date!

then Steph and Duke glare at each other, suddenly arguing over random things.

Cass shakes her head and leads Izzy outside the room so they can get some food from the kitchen.

---

scenario 2:

Dick continues to lead Wally to the private pool that was just newly built.

they just came home from a mission and some dip in warm water under the bright stars sounds so good right now.

by the time they both strip down to their boxers, Dick is a giggling mess as Wally bridal carries him on the stairs down to the water.

Wally, still carrying Dick on his arms, backing both of them on the pool wall: Have I told you today how beautiful you are?

Dick, blushes, wrapping his arms on Wally's neck: You always remind me. But tell me again-

then out of nowhere, someone shouts, "KABOOOOOM!" and a large splash of water hit both of them.

Dick, rubs the water off his eyes: What the actual fu-

and it's Roy from across the side of the pool, leaning against the wall with a smug grin on his face. on his side is Jason with the same kind of smile.

Roy, brings Jason closer to him: Oh, isn't it my two best friends of all time?

Jason, laughs: Ocupado, Dickface. Sorry.

he wasn't sorry at all.

Dick, groans, coming down from Wally's arms: You lied, Jay! You said you were out of town.

Jason, shrugs: Plans change, Dick.

Wally, rubs Dick's arm soothingly: A little warning next time, guys?

Roy, grins: Not our forte.

Dick, grumbles: You guys are assholes. Go to another area or something, I don't care.

Jason: I'm sorry, what was that, Dick?

Dick: Asshole, I said go to another area. Period.

Jason: Why you-

then the two brothers are moving forward towards each other on the water, aiming for a fight of sorts. one minute, Jason has Dick under the water and the next, it's Dick chasing Jason in the water like ducklings. like birds.

Wally hides Dick's escrima sticks, while Roy hides Jason's guns. just in case the fight escalates.

---

scenario 3:

Roy, whines: Jaaaaaybird, can we sleep now?

Jason: I said give me a minute, Roy. I need to grab a book.

Roy leans his weight on Jason, closing his eyes.

Jason: And I'm not carrying you, idiot.

although, he wraps his arm on Roy's waist, supporting him as they walk to the Manor library.

Jason, opens the door: Give me a few, kay? Then we can- WHAT THE SHIT?

Roy feels more awake than awhile ago as they both stare at Kon, shirtless on the couch and his hair a mess.

Jason: Clone, what are you doing here????

Kon, flushes, embarrassed: I... I... Um.

then Tim appears from behind the couch too, his hair also a mess, but thankfully his clothes still on. or else Jason would have threw up on the floor.

Roy just has a grin on his face the entire time, amused.

Tim, grins: Hey, guys.

Jason, pinches the bridge of his nose: I swear, Timmy, I fucking swear, if you and clone boy don't fucking take your hormones upstairs to your own room, I will-

Tim: You will what, Jay? I mean... You don't own this place. Doesn't mean you spend most of your time here, it's yours.

Jason: I never said I owned this! I just fucking said, don't do funny business on the library couch.

Tim, scoffs: As if you don't do funny business here.

Roy, grins even widely: The boy's got a point, Jaybird.

Jason, now even more upset: Go, go upstairs!

Tim: But-

Jason: Now, Tim!

Tim: You're not my mom!

Jason: And you're not being responsible!

Tim: As if you're any better!

then the two boys continue to argue, leaving Roy and Kon to shrug and make their own conversation by the door.

Roy: Hey, kid. How's the Young Justice?

Kon, smiles: Pretty good. How's the Outlaws?

---

bonus:

Damian and Jon are in the game room, playing some Mario Kart when they hear voices outside the room.

Steph: We were here first!

Dick: I thought I told everyone in the groupchat that me and Wally will be having the Game Room.

Jason: I already called dibs in the room.

Duke: I arrived earlier than any of you, so technically, me and Izzy get to use it first.

Tim: Hey, I never had the Game Room this week!

Cass, suggests: Can we just all share it?

Damian, opens the door, annoyed: Will everyone just keep their mouths closed? I have settled in the room already.

as the batkids continue to make their points, Jon exits the room and flies to the main living room where the rest of the partners are talking.

Jon, settles beside Kon: I guess this is a regular occurance.

Roy, chuckles: You have no idea, kid.

Wally: As long as I can remember, yes.

Kon: You'll get used to it, little brother.

Izzy: With a house so big, they still argue on who gets a room first.

Izzy, sees the Monopoly game under the coffee table, smiling: Anyone up for Monopoly?

[awhoreintheory]

In Eminem's Album "The Eminem Show" he has a song called Business that directly references Batman. He also has repeated references to Robin and Batman's dynamic throughout many of his songs right right are you following my thought train??

So it is logical to assume Eminem either doesn't exist in Peter's home universe or Marvel, or he has entirely different songs with more Marvel based super hero references. (The easier option is he doesn't exist tho)

I just think it'd be neat for Peter to discover Eminem in DC and I have literally no reason other than I love Eminem

Peter, running past Tim at neckbreaking speeds while rapping Rap God: youassumingthatimhumanwhatigottafotogetitthroughtoyouimsuperhuman—

Tim: dear god, Stephanie got to him

Jason, exiting with flair: yeah, good luck with that

Bruce, with a long suffering sigh:

Stephanie, wiping away a single tear: he's glorious

[soulless-bex]

talia secretly adopts all of bruce’s kids behind his back. dick? she got to know him shortly after he became nightwing and supported him through his debut. jason? she had more than enough time to adopt a parental role for him while he was still staying in nanda parbat. tim? she’s been corresponding with him since forever. she was so proud when he committed his first war crime too. steph saw her visiting one of the boys, recognized her and befriended her to spite bruce. duke sort of just assumed she was bruce’s wife after seeing the way the other kids act around her and never questioned it. she’s too scary for him to dare do that, and anyway, she’s pretty chill so he won’t complain. cass sees the whole thing unfold, and while i don’t think she’s talia’s biggest fan, i think she would find the whole thing funny anyway.

bruce never noticed. not until all of his kids had already fallen into the habit of calling her mom
