I need fics where Bruce/Dick explicitly tell people that they didn’t let Tim become Robin because he knew, or because of Bruce’s mental state, or even because of the fact that Tim kept coming back.
I need them to be like “Yeah we’re pretty sure he was gonna become a villain before this. We’re honestly pretty lucky that he looked up to us. I mean, he was blackmailing us at age 12, he trained with Lady Shiva, outsmarted Ra’s, fought an evil version of himself from the future where he was a joint dictator with his friends… But he’s a good guy, and we can only hope he stays that way :)”
Tim really looked his anxiety in the eyes and said, "You work for me" (or Tim utilizing the "it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you" mindset so he's constantly vigilant).
time loop au where jason's stuck reliving the day of his death. he wakes up already trapped in that abandoned warehouse, and has to ensure that bruce is able to find him before the bomb goes off, or escape and locate him himself.
he tries so hard and exhausts almost every plan he's been able to think of, at the same time experiencing every single variation of joker torture and then some. there was even one day where joker wasn't his captor at all, batman was. he's lived through hundreds of days of it before he finally breaks the loop.
and the way he does it is by doing nothing at all, and letting himself die with no hope in the possibility of bruce saving him.
Damian: Drake, why on earth are you still here? Your worthlessness is distracting me from my work.
Tim, running on 7 coffees, 4 energy drinks, and a butt load of spite: If you insult me one more time, I will accept Ra's' advances just so you have to call me Grandfather too, you little shit.
I'm thinking about Tim and Damian because I saw a post about them being doomed siblings and it got me thinking, so I just started pulling a bunch of panels and I was going to send it to whoever it was, but I can't find the post and I can't remember if it was a mutual who posted it or a complete stranger but hopefully they come across this posts because honestly I think thay this I'd kinda important.
These two were instantly doing sibling shit to the extreame. This is just a regular sibling fight dialed up to 15.
Them a bit later.

Damian, after Tim died.

These two are brothers. They ate a bit messed up and have definitely left psychological scars on each other, but they are brothers.
Stephanie: August 11th apparently but it doesn't fully fit her vibe
Damian: August 9th I think
*Because of DC's infamous disability to be consistent in anything they do regarding the comics' technicalities, there are a lot of different views in reference to the Batfamily's birthdays. Not to mention other characters in dc. Yay for us. (why do I like this place again?)
I found this post which is worth reading [warning: it is a bit long]
don't touch the fact that Steph's name had to be in pink, because purple was the only colour which fit Bab's, even though Steph has that teeny weeny purple obsession everyone in the fandom knows about because, surprise, aforementioned obsession isn't teeny weeny at all. It happens to be rather large. I don't know why I'm bothered by this
I did not forget Duke, do not worry.
Duke: August 13th
It was just another colour repetition and also another August bd
I know we don't like fandom wiki but me and my girlfriend have been laughing our asses off about the powers, abilities, weaknesses, and trivia sections of this shit lmaoooo
When we say : "Can we please stop oversexualizing Nightwing ?" we don't mean: "stop finding him sexy", what we actually mean is: "stop making other characters ogle/catcall him/treat him like an object and then pretend he is a playboy when we can see several times that he is not comfortable with it" (see all of Grayson).
every time there's a power level discussion in dcu and people refuse to add in how absurdly bullshit the lantern rings are in general i refuse to take it seriously. a weapon that you can will into doing anything within any time period at all is just busted. it's stupid. if you are creative and attentive enough, you can be a world ender. you can be an one person army. it's the universe's strongest weapon for a reason.
sure, like. the old yellow limitation was stupid but also it was a very clear boundary to avoid making them become gods through sheer willpower because at least yellow was out of boundaries but now the failsafe is gone, look what we got. yeah, that's right, you guessed it: we got kyle, the guy that kinda stumbles into godhood and keeps needing to put it back because it just really really likes him.
