Summary:

Gotham was planted on rotten soil, the very spirit of the city breathed harsh chemicals and exhaled death.

As in every universe, there was the Dark Knight to protect it all.

But there were always areas where even the caped crusader couldn’t reach.

For instance, the biological child he hadn’t even known existed, right down the road in the cold and lonely white marble mansion. A mausoleum for the child who only dreamed of the family he had to watch in the shadows of rooftops with his camera.

There was never a safe place in the cesspool that was Gotham, not even for those they deemed beasts of legend. Werewolves, who lived and breathed among humans. Some blended in, hidden, and safe, others bold, righteous, and killed.

“Families, packs, they’re all the same, they stay together.” His voice held reassurance, his hands were protective, and in his arms, for once he felt a love he knew he didn’t own. The cape blew in the wind and a little camera shuttered behind them as the timer finally reached and captured the accidental moment of a boy and his hero.

“I don’t have a family.”

[tireddemi]

“It’s the only place we’ve lived more than six months in.” Thinking about this and mentally re-evaluating my speculations on where Tim lived in Gotham before moving into Drake Manor at age 14 in pre-Flashpoint comics.

We know the Drakes had multiple properties, and Tim spent school years at boarding school while his parents travelled…so maybe they just didn’t have a specific, consistent year-round residence at all until after Janet died when they bought Drake Manor.

Robin Vol. 2 #66

And after Jack woke from his coma, before Alfred gave Tim the idea to move next door to the Waynes, Jack had planned for them to move into their Robinson Park Penthouse:

Batman #480

And Tim mentions the Drakes used their “city place” (the downtown condo) when they wanted to attend galleries and operas. So it looks like they might’ve had different properties for different uses, which they’d stay in as they wished in between the boarding school and traveling…

Canon things that we should not let fall into obscurity:

• Dick was an excellent basketball player and played on the school team

• Dick plays both the guitar AND the accordion

• Jason had a pet dog when he was itty bitty. The dog's name was Sparky

• Tim is a skater. He skateboards and is pretty damn good at it, both as Tim and Robin

• Tim and Bruce both like The Clash. Alfred is Britishly Offended by their music

•Jason loved books as a kid. To support this, Bruce had a mini library built right in his bedroom

•Alfred and Bruce collected first edition books ever since Bruce was a little kid. It's implied this tradition was also carried on with Bruce and Jason

•Damian steals items from his brothers. He's stolen a helmet from Jason, escrima sticks from Dick, possibly one of Tim's bo staffs and I'm 75% sure he's stolen one of his father's cowls

•Barry Allen's real name for a time was Barrence Allen.

•Tim was a boarding school kid. He spent the first half of his life in boarding schools and didn't go to a semi normal school until he moved in with Bruce and went to Gotham Academy.

•Tim did not drop out of high school, he was kicked out because his father did not pay the Brentwood boarding school tuition (because posh boarding schools don't let you attend if you have no means of paying or aren't there on scholarship). It's unclear if Tim ever finished high school or if he just got a GED.

•Correction!: After Brentwood, Tim did go back to a local high school. Unfortunately, he had to drop out again after Bruce died and Tim went on his infamous search. (Thanks everyone who pointed this out!)

•Cass is teaching herself how to read and gets very frustrated with it, but is stubbornly pushing through. We're very proud of her

•Duke has a Nest. He has his very own base of operations and it is stellar

•Steph's father was friends with Edward Nigma. The Riddler spent some time living in Steph's house with their family. They probably had to share a bathroom. (Imagine that chaos)

•Baby Steph dressed up in a cape and Super shirt and pretended to be Superman

•There are four members of the Dead Robin club: Jason, Damian, Steph, and Dick. He was once dead for about five minutes, killed by Lex Luthor before being rescusitated. Likewise, Steph's heart stopped before Leslie was able to revive her before squirrelling her away to Africa. Cass's nomination is up in the air as she has died but was not a Robin.

•Only Tim is member of the Thought Dead But Not Really Robin club

•Dick and Steph are members of both clubs and are considering getting punch cards.

•Duke is the lucky bastard to be part of neither club. He lives in terror of the day he gets a membership

•Damian tried to kill Victor Zsasz. He really thought he succeeded. But Victor survived and no one's really sure how, and the fact that Damian did his best to kill him is never mentioned again

•Steph can speak Swahili

•Roy Harper's original vice was heroin addiction due to being undercover. In New52 it was retconned into an alcohol addiction.

•Talia. Is. A. Good. Person. And. Morrison. Fucked. Her. Over.

•For a time, it was believed that Lady Shiva was Jason's birth mother

•It is unclear if Two Face has been disbarred from practicing law or not

Update: Sorry for any mistakes I made.

I put way too much effort into this ( based on this meme, it wouldn’t leave me alone until it was drawn — I am freee )

[tireddemi]

It’s always “evil Superman!!!!” this, or “villain justice league!!!” that.

I want an AU of villain! Bruce who’s absolutely dog-shit at being evil.

Firstly: The worst thing he can think of doing is not donating to animal shelters or charities . immediately feels so guilty he throws up.

Secondly: The second a child cries because of him, he’d freeze up. Stand like a statue, unmoving and petrified. No more evil, but just today.

He ends up helping the city by accident more often than not, and to his immortal disappointment, Gotham loves both the Bat and Bruce Wayne.

“alfred come look at my evil plan”

“Yes, sir, “ Alfred is very indulgent. He does his best to pretend it’s actually good. “ ‘Don’t say please to the barista’. Getting bold, are we?”

EVERYTIME He and Clark meet and Bruce monologues about pulverizing him to dust, Clark (and the League) looks at him like this:

“I can make him worse,” GOOD FOR YOU!!! Clark can make him into his malewife and adopt his 7 evil sidekicks who actually know how to villain. Especially the little one.

you might answer this ask already, but what exactly does a nest look like? I have been imaging nests look like one of those birds nests

I never actually made a post about what nests look like. Lol. Surprisingly no one has ever directly asked me. The only way that they are the same to bird nests are them using their own scent and objects for the nest itself. Like birds use their feathers and spit, I think, so dynamics will use their clothes and their scents for the nest. 

So like I can’t draw for shit, so the pictures attached are basically what you get. 

Here are some links that I found on fellow blogs about nests: 

@omegaverse-professor posted this little montage herself of a bunch of nesting materials. You can find that here. Side note this is the post that lead to our friendship. 💕

@omegacraving made a post you can find here 

@dyeingdoll​ also drew something about what I think a nest could look like. Basically a fort. That’s here. 

Here are a bunch of my own headcanons about nests/nesting that you can look through. 👍🏽

Click read more to see some photos I found that I think nests would look like: 

First off, holy fuck look at this.

Talia in the Sons of Anarchy AU is still darkly morally gray, intense, and uses both those things to do what she wants. (this happens at least every 6 months)

[tireddemi]

I fucking love a Clark Kent that's carved from sunshine and refuses to forfeit his hope and faith in humanity, but ONE OF THESE FUCKING DAYS MAN, one of these fucking days I hope to see him with that wolfish grin smile, bared wide and voice shaking, " I'm gonna laser the next person I fucking see I swear to GOD"

And for Battinson to calmly tap his shoulder. "Hello."

Then it's back to Kansas apple pie boy, " Oh my god! Bruce, hi!"

Reverse Robin!AU where Jason and Dick try to sneak out, only for Damian to catch them. Meanwhile, Tim is just there for the entertainment.

Okay I got a question for you, resident Batfam Expert! I’ve been reading a lot of fanfic recently (because I love pain) and I was wondering how many of the pet names the family calls each other are canon? Because they have A LOT and they’re all pretty consistent throughout the writings. Some of the ones I’ve noted regularly are Baby Bird, Little Wing, Jay, Jaylad, Jace, Timmers, Timbo, Dickie, Dickiebird, and then Bruce calling his kids ‘sweetheart’. (Adorable) Anyway, thanks! Don’t feel a need to rush in answering :) I’m in no hurry

Sorry it took me so long to get to all of these, I’ve spent the last few weeks scrounging up every single resource I could get my hands on so that I could make a comprehensive list of which nicknames are canon and which are fanon and it took a SUPER long time. The bottom line is I ended up accidentally making a whole-ass Google Slides for every single batkid nickname, and while the whole project isn’t anywhere near finished yet, I managed to complete the slides needed to answer all of these questions. So...yeah! Here’s what I found:

Dickie/Dickie-Bird:

Jason seems to be the main nickname-user of the family, so aside from the aforementioned comics, there isn’t very much content of Dick being called “Dickie” or “Dickie-Bird”. (I also want to bring up “Big Bird,” which I see Jason calling Dick sometimes in fanfics. That one’s not canon anywhere, unfortunately.) Dick used to be called “Dickie” sometimes as a term of endearment during his circus days, but after that it’s not likely you’ll see any of his family members calling him something other than Dick. 

Little Wing:

Sadly, “Little Wing” hasn’t been used in any canon content after this comic, which is a major bummer since the fandom has turned it into one of Jason’s most popular nicknames (from Dick at least).

Jay/Jace/Jaylad/Jaybird:

(I didn’t list the comic sources for the more widely used nicknames since they’re so common in comics that you could find them pretty much anywhere.) 

I’d say that Bruce called Jason “Jay” far more during his Robin days than he does now, though that could be attributed to their more distant relationship nowadays. (Or maybe I just didn’t happen to read the specific modern comics in which he called Jason “Jay” or “Jace/Jase”.)

Yeahhh, sorry about this one. “Jaylad” is kind of the Schrödinger's cat of nicknames. The fandom ended up misconstruing the term over time. and losing the comma between “Jay” and “lad” so it became “Jaylad” and everyone just stuck with it.

The main person who seems to use this one is Roy Harper, as I haven’t yet found a comic in which one of Jason’s family members calls him “Jaybird”. You can open pretty much any comic with both Jason and Roy in it and expect Roy to say it at least once.

Timmy/Timbers/Timbo:

I haven’t seen anyone calling Tim “Timmers” in canon, but otherwise, most of the other common nicknames derived from Timothy are canon.

Pretender/Replacement:

I always found it wild how Jason never once called Tim “Replacement” in a comic, and yet we all managed to latch onto it anyway and make it his go-to nickname for Tim? That takes some dedication, man. Otherwise, Jason called Tim “Pretender” a few times during Batman: Hush, and that was about it. 

Baby Bird/Baby Bat:

I know a lot of people hate the nickname “Babybird” (for whatever reason), but honestly, I’m really hoping that DC makes it a thing because dammit, we deserve this breadcrumb at least. As of right now, the only batkid who has ever been called “Babybird” was Damian, and it was by his mom. (In fanon, it’s typically Tim who is called “Babybird” while Dick is “Dickie-Bird” and Jason is “Little Wing”. Who decided this, I have no idea but I’m not complaining.) I also included “Baby Bat” since I see that one pretty often too, and that one is sadly not canon either. The DC writers really don’t want us getting our hands on any family fluff whatsoever, huh.

As for Bruce, I don’t think he’s ever called his kids a term of endearment more emotional than “son” or “pal” because he has the emotional capacity of a dried-up raisin. All of those nicknames like “sweetheart,” “honey,” “pumpkin,” and any other names a parent might call their child are banned from Batman’s dictionary as far as the writers are concerned. Will that make me stop having Bruce call his kids “sweetheart” in my fics every chance I get? Absolutely not.

[tireddemi]

I wish that people would remember that Jason is supposed to be a couple months younger than Cass and less than two years older than Tim

Well… you’re not wrong.

This is actually a very difficult question (comment?) though, because in all fairness the ages of the batkids are rarely ever stated, and often contradicted.

I’m too stubborn about factual data to take Shelly’s advice, so let’s delve into forbidden territory and talk about ages.  She is right, though. Just trying to figure this out I came across so many contradictions and discrepancies that I’m forced to preamble by saying that ages just aren’t static in these comics.  We’re talking about almost two decades of canon and dozens of writers, things are bound to get a little murky.

So, starting with Dick.  How old Dick was when his parents died has been contradicted at least three times post-crisis and pre-flashpoint.  He has been stated to be 8, 10, and 12, in different comics.  Personally I prefer 10, just because I feel 8 is too young and 12 too old, but for the sake of this meta Im going to actually go with 12.  This is because 12 is honestly the only age that makes sense when you compare Dick’s age to what Tim’s is said to be.

Fans speculate that, at the time of the Graysons’ deaths, Tim Drake was roughly six-years-old.  This is because his parents are shown worrying that he’s “too young” for the circus, but he’s also seems obviously old enough to carry full conversations and understand the seriousness of the situation.  He remembers being told that Dick Grayson is one of only three people who can do a quadruple somersault, for instance.

(Batman #441)

However, six doesn’t make sense for Tim, for reasons I’ll explain later.  So let’s say he’s only five. 

So right now we know:

Dick- 12Tim- 5

This gives them a seven year difference, which right now appears fair.  Flash forward six years when Dick becomes Nightwing, according to Batman #416.

A few months pass, and then Bruce catches a young kid jacking the tires from the Batmobile: insert Jason Todd!  Jason’s age is never explicitly stated during his time as Robin, but we know two things:

1) He is a fifth grade drop out (Batman #410)2) He is younger than 16 when he dies (New Teen Titans vol2 #26)

This means Jason has to be somewhere between 12 and 14 at the time he met Bruce. Let’s go with 13.

Dick- 18Jason- 13Tim- 11

So far the “Jason and Tim are two years apart” theory is holding up.  The next milestone is Jason’s death.  We don’t know how old Jason was by them stating his age, but we do know that by the time Tim became Robin a several months (but less than a year) later, he was 13.

(Batman #441)

So at let’s edge on the safe side and say that it Tim wasn’t yet thirteen (or had just turned 13) when Jason died, and therefore most likely turned thirteen sometime between Jason’s death and Tim becoming Robin. That would put him at or near 12 when Jason died, which gives us:

Dick- 19Jason- 14Tim- 12

This can’t be right, because we know from Batman #410 that Jason trained for 6 months before donning the cape, and was Robin for more than a year, according to Batman #416.  He can’t have only been 14.  This means one of a few things:

Either Jason is actually fifteen when he dies (and Tim was still 13, but almost 14 when he became Robin), or Jason is at least three years older than Tim.  Since we’re trying to keep them only two years apart, lets go with the former.

Dick- 20Jason- 15Tim- 13

Okay, now what?  Well, we know how much time passes between Jason’s death and his “mental resurrection” (when Talia pushed him into the Lazarus pit) from Lost Days and Batman Annual 25.

Jason is buried for 6 months. (Batman Annual 25)Jason digs out and is comatose in a hospital for a year. (Batman Annual 25)Jason escapes the hospital and wanders the streets for:                           One year (Batman Annual 25)                           Five months (Lost Days #1)Jason is picked up by Talia and stays with her for a year (Lost Days #1)Jason spends an undisclosed amount of time training.

Since Lost Days came out after Batman Annual 25, and both were written by the same writer (Winick), let’s take Lost Days as the “retcon”, and therefore accurate.  That would mean three years passed between Jason’s death and his resurrection to full cognitive ability.  After this, Jason went on a training spree to learn the things Batman never taught him.  We don’t know exactly how long that lasted, but we do know it was several months.  A month on guns, five weeks on toxins, three weeks on assassination, a month on transport, and undisclosed amounts of time with bombs, surveillance, small arms, close combat, and gang control (at least around one month each).

So let’s be generous and say that it only took a year for Jason to learn what he knows.  That leaves us with:

Dick- 24Jason- 19Tim- 17

This matches Detective Comics 790, where Bruce mourns Jason’s death with Cass on what would have been Jason’s 18th birthday (this takes place before Bruce finds out Jason is still alive), but it does force us into another contradiction.  Jason Todd came back to life in 2006, but it’s years later, in 2010, that Tim Drake tells us he’s just become and emancipated minor, which means he cant be older than 17 in 2010.

(Red Robin #12)

Now of course real time and comic book time pass differently, but there is absolutely no way that all of the events between Under the Hood and Red Robin #12 happened in less than a year.  Just a few of the major arcs that all took place between these events include:

War Crimes

Death in the City

Batman and Son

The Resurrection of Ra’s Al Ghul

Heart of Hush

The Black Glove

Batman R.I.P.

Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader

Final Crisis

Battle for the Cowl

Batman Reborn

And that’s not even all of them.  I call bs on anyone who tries to tell me all of that went down in less than a year.

This forces us into a corner.  Jason couldn’t have been older than 15 when he died (being that we know he hadn’t turned 16 yet), but Tim couldn’t have been older than 12, in order for him to still be young enough for become an emancipated minor in Red Robin #12.  The more logical explanation, then, becomes that during the events of Under the Hood:

Dick- 24Jason- 19Tim- 16

Are you confused yet?  Good, that goes to show how confusing this is.  I’d say that, at the time of flashpoint when the DCU was rebooted, the prevailing facts would put Dick at five years older than Jason, and Jason at three years older than Tim.  I’m not even going to start in on Cass, because things are already convoluted enough as it is.

Is this definitive?  Hell no.  The fact is, ages are commonly changed and contradicted in comics.  On top of that, the logical method I just used is flawed in that we don’t know the specific date and year of birth for most of these characters, nor what month in time all these different events take place.  That has a huge bearing on our ability to know their ages in relation to each other.

Take myself and theflyingwonder as example.  I’m a year older than her, in that I was borrn in 1991, and she in 1992.  Right now, our ages reflect that.  I’m 23 and she’s 22.  Come her birthday in July, however, she’ll become 23 while I’m still 23, up until my birthday when I turn 24. These discrepancies mean that there is no way to accurately tell how old someone is relative to someone else just by looking at their ages.

I’d love to be able to say that we absolutely know how much older Dick is than Jason, or Jason than Tim, but the truth is there’s just no definitive, absolute proof of that.  Writers have, and will continue to, adjust characters’ ages in their storylines, and even when trying to look at things from the perspective of “what makes the most sense,” nothing is static.  There’s instances here that I’ve left out, just because they throw too much of a wrench in an already muddled timeline.

Alright. Willis Todd being an abusive father to Jason is a trope often utilized. Comparing this version of him to Bruce's reactions to Red Hood is fantastic. Lots to analyze there.

However, I raise you. There needs to be more fanwork addressing the classism behind Willis Todd being characterized as an abusive alcoholic. In some version of canon, Willis Todd was a good dad in a shitty situation. He was poor, his wife (Catherine) was sick, and he had a newborn baby he needed to provide for. In this horrid situation, where he has no family to fall back on and no higher education to obtain a decent well-paying job, he tries to get quick money. He's desperate to keep both his wife and son alive.

Catherine turns to drugs because it's easier and cheaper to buy drugs than healthcare. The pain she experiences is debilitating, and she'd do anything to not feel pain for one godsdamned second. Unfortunately, this turns into an addiction.

This ultimately shapes the way that Jason views crime. Bruce, while he may be sympathetic to individuals who resort to crime to pay their bills, will not understand huddling in Crime Alley in the dead of winter as he debates whether to buy food or pay for heating. He won't understand the bitterness, hatred, pain, and resignation of never having enough money to survive as you get chewed up again and again.

If Jason's dad is just an abusive criminal, that not only perpetuates the notion that all criminals are evil, but it will shape how Jason views those who commit crime. Breaking the law doesn't make someone bad. There's plenty of reasons people commit crime, whether to survive, protect someone, or something else. The issue, especially in Gotham, is the system that perpetuates wealth inequality through bribes and unethical governmental practices.

Anyway, I think Jason's Red Hood is more fleshed out if it accounts for him acknowledging the desperation behind goons and small-time criminals because he grew up without other options.

BINGQIU IS A PARALLEL TO BINGHE'S BIRTH PARENTS BUT SHEN QINGQIU = TIANLANG-JUN

Su Xiyan and Luo Binghe: Prodigy Disciples with immense skill and ability. Favoured and desired by the Huan Hua Palace Master who uses them to discredit and malign and remove/imprison the person they love.

They both suffer greatly for their love of the other person and have reasons to distrust most people and they have a understandable falling out with their sect in general

Rumours spread about their relationship with their love interest that is greatly at odds with the truth

They even look similar

Tianlang-jun and Shen Qingqiu: Nasty rumours and bad reputation, there is some truth but a lot more lies said about them. Both imprisoned and "died"

In fact both are buried for a time! Tianlang-jun under mountain and Shen Qingqiu in the ground!

Both are also deeply fascinated with things about the other realm. Tianlang-jun is fascinated by humans and is almost an anthropologist in his study of humans

Meanwhile Shen Qingqiu is fascinated by monsters and demonic creatures.

Both have devoted side kicks who follow after them to help them (Zhuzhi-lang and Liu Qingge and Luo Binghe for a time)

Both are kinda careless with their own life and safety and personal care

Of course there are differences between the two couples but it's also so interesting that there are so many parallels and I woke up out of a doze to write this quickly because I realised this

[tireddemi]

Mobei overhears sy and sqh talking. Sy is crowing about how much binghe does for him, and sqh says "yeah well, happy wife happy life". Mobei ignores the peak Lord fistfight as he connects dots. Qinghua is always bending over backwards to make him happy. In fact, when he's unhappy, qinghua will do everything within his power to change that. Is... is he the wife? Man practically gains a halo of bliss while sy tries to choke sqh behind him

Oh I LOVE THIS he absolutely would consider himself the wife- not only that, he'd be so happy at being the happy wife of Shang Qinghua, the man that balances a whole peak and his kingdom so well like it's nothing, he would be clawing at the table thinking about it

He's so distracted that he doesn't see his poor husband dying but it's a small price to pay for this amazing revelation

[tireddemi]

I have come back from the battlefield and all I want to say is that I loved this chapter! I loved it so much, Shen Yuan has taken the first steps towards healing (from this particular endeavor)!

But I have QUESTIONS: why did SQH react as strongly as he did when SY told him what happened? Much like SY, I think what he did was pretty okay and to the point? What are we missing? Was the empty house and saying "if you don't like it, find someone else" a sort of rejection? Because when I say it like that it DOES sound like a rejection, but at the same time, what SY was simply saying was that he wasn't willingly to play housewife. WHAT AM I MISSING?!

Any way, thank you for the chapter and for basically listing everyone who so far wants or will want to go behind OPM's ass.

Answers!!!

SQH as we have seen is incredibly close with SY in this life because in the past they both faced their trauma and misery together. Even though they weren't as entirely open and honest with each other, for the most part, they were all each other had.

So, as a result, they both tend to be protective of each other and worry very easily (SY with SQH's relationship with Mobei-Jun hence why he went to Tianlang-Jun for help with it and contemplated murdering the demon) and of course, SQH's reaction toward what happened this chapter.

While as an explanation for SQH is; he knows when something is WRONG.

And an empty house from SY: the homebody, the nerd, the book hoarder. Having a clean and spotless home?? Blasphomey and he immediately knows something is wrong (like the fact that SY doesn't even truly live in the house, he sleeps and stays primarily outside)

Now for his reaction to SY's comment, he reacted to how HE interpreted. SY's comment was purposefully vague, it can be interpreted in different ways.

EIther as: He won't be a housewife, but NOT a rejection of any sort.

OR

: A flat out plain rejection.

Of course, seeing as SQH created the world they are in and the people that are in it, including LQG and LBH he reacted to how he believed THEY interpreted it. Also, he had thus far seen the result of the little fight from all three sides and knew that all three of them were taking it rather harshly in their own ways.

To reign it all in simply (especially as we see through the flashback) SQH KNOWS what it looks like when SY is pulling away and letting his head go through a darker path (Hence was he experienced in the past life) So, SQH's strong reactions can be marked up as his own trauma response from witnessing his only friend and confidant slowly die through means he was unable to influenced and because of situations HE HAD influenced.

Also, he just wants his bestie to be happy, sane, and healthy. And possibly with LBH and LQG if it calls for it.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! Thanks for reading and commenting! Stay tuned!

[tireddemi]

I just read the new chapter and I loved it so much! Wasn't sure what to comment on the fic, so I will say it here!

HOW TIME BLIND IS LBH NOT TO HAVE NOTICED HE LEFT HIS WIFE FOR MONTHS?! AT LEAST SY HAD AN EXCUSE, BUT HE DOESN'T, I want TLJ to give him the earful he deserves.

Also, not the kids basically labelling LQQ and LBH as the enemy 💀💀💀. Why do all the people that love SY hate each other so much??? I hope the animosity pass, though the idea of hissy cats disciples protecting their shifu is hilarious, I do wish they can get along at SOME point; if they band together, they can protect SY better from assholes like the OPM.

aaaahhhh, I loved this chapter so much, the wait was worth it and I cannot wait for what comes next! I am already wearing my #1 fan headband and light sticks!

At this point no one likes each other but they like SY at the same time XD It's hilarious disharmony and I love stirring the pot because those two deserve to face a hoard of possessive children just to get to their wife (it will prepare them for their future kids)

Glad to see you liked it! Thanks for reading and commenting! Stay tuned!
