#Cass deserves to be spoiled more

Hi, I don't know If you take requests, but could you please right about the reaction and thoughts of the bat boys toward finding out their partner was pregnant? Please and thank you
A/N: I do take requests, love. And I've got you ❣️
Bat-boys find out you're pregnant🍼
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dick Grayson's first thought is worry. He doubts how he'll make it work; crimefighting, his job, then his relationship with you. And he'll wonder how Nightwing will interfere with his life, and how Bruce will react (he'll spoil the child endlessly).
Reassurance from Donna, Alfred, or Bruce will part his fog of worry and distance. He'll hit the ground running to rectify his isolation. I mean breaking the news to friends and family, arranging play dates with Roy and Lian.
"I'll be safer on patrol," he whispered," I promise, hun." You had broke down after so long of trying to remain calm. But seeing your lover return home with bruise after bruise would weigh anyone down. Especially one pregnant.
Dick's hand would always be on your belly, reminding himself that you both are safe and he's doing a great job. It's what he needs to hear, that he's making the city safer for you both.
He is 100% a handyman. Dick will build cribs, changing tables, repair toilets, fix creaky cabinets. And he'll baby proof the house." Don't worry, babe," he assured you." Just relax. It's just a clogged drain."
Jason Todd's first thought is if he'd be a good father, after everything he's been through and done. He even wonders if he deserves to be a father, or if he deserves a nameless grave. However, leaving is never and will never be an option for him. I truly think he'd be the most active out of the bat-boys.
Jason's love language has always been acts of service, and it would thrive during your pregnancy. Your house would be booby-trapped and SECURED. He'd teach you the basics of a gun, and he'd ensure your pregnancy cravings are stocked. Jason would also wash your back when your belly grew too large.
Jason would let you shop for baby and maternity clothes with his card. His only request is that you don't get the baby anything too vibrant because it's an eyesore. If anything, he'd prefer neutral tones or black on the baby.
The weather becomes his interest after the baby's birth." Do you think they need a jacket?" Is his favorite line." Don't you think it's a little hot for them to be wearing long sleeves," he'll wonder. Or the baby is swaddled and he'll question," do you think he's overheating? I'd be hot if that were me all wrapped up like that."
A child is the only thing to make him stand steadfast on his refusal to kill. Not Bruce, not Dick, not even you. Your child brought forth a new mindset, one of not wanting to see a killer reflecting in the innocent and chocolate eyes of his child (Jason's eyes are brown. Argue with a wall).
Tim Drake isn't as present as one would believe. His activity is inconsistent, and it's harder to reach him because he's usually working. But he wants you to sit with him, to bring the baby and let him play around in his office.
It warms his heart to return from a meeting and his baby is sprawled out on his pastel blue teddy bear blanket and cooing. You're dangling a rattle over him, and Tim would strut over and kiss you on the cheek." How's it going, love?" He'd ask and rub the baby's cheek." They being good?" His eyebrow would raise playfully.
The baby would be raised around Bruce and Alfred more than his actual parents. I also see Stephanie caring for the baby and even babysitting if you work or just need rest. Cass would swoon over it, so prepare for tons of peeled oranges and Cass making your bottles.
Alfred would surely read your baby literature. He'd be sitting in the library, baby on his lap while y'all rest, reading from a dusty and old book that's sure to ignite your allergies.
Damian would try his hardest to be a fun dad because he never got that. It's been well documented that he wouldn't dare put a child through his life. So I think the farthest he would go is teaching you enough to defeat the average Shadow/Assassin. But he would not want you killing.
I think he'd lean into Bruce's "No-Kill" mantra after having a child. If you even want to enter vigilantism; he'd understand if you choose not to. It's a thankless job; it's isolating and bruising.
But I think if the kid did continue training, that's when they'd truly bond. Damian and he/she would laugh and joke between rounds; he'd show them the best way to throw a punch, and he'd teach mercy. That's also when they'd meet the other side of their family---the Al Ghuls. But Damian would have strict stipulations on what they learn. No instant kill moves, no brainwashing, none of the narcissistic sentiments Talia filled his head with.
I also think you, Damian, and your kid would lead fairly healthy lives. Not overboard, but the occasional protein shake or morning run; maybe even a little weight lifting. Or if cardio is your speed, he'd install a home-treadmill or a pool.
Bruce Wayne's first thought would be his age. How he's climbing in age and his job usually doesn't lead to gold and sunsets. He'd be happy because he sees it as a second chance. His first two sons saw the angry and vengeful side of him, so that's how they grew up; Tim sought him, and Damian came stained with blood.
But with you and the baby, he could actually be a father. He could raise the baby from infancy and make bottles and hush cries, like he wanted to with Dick and Jason. He could show the baby his favorite movies and just talk to them, even though the baby would respond with drool and coos.
He wouldn't have to be alone anymore. Bruce would set his child on a straight path; the world has enough Bats and birds. They could just...be. They'd would carry on the Wayne name.
Bruce would spoil you and his baby rotten. He'd watch over the baby like a hawk; each cry, each coo, each babble would send Bruce into a fit of worry. He'd leap up from his seat and check the cradle, only to find a giggling baby with his feet in the air. Then he'd chuckle, which would make the baby giggle even more. " You got me, little one. You got me," he'd utter and return to the Bat-computer.

Something something, Bruce accidentally keeps adopting his friends' wards. It doesn't sit well with his kids.
Diana's been training Yara for a little over a year. She's scrappy, brave, and unafraid to stand up for herself against the world. She reminds Bruce of a dearly beloved Ghost, and even dearer son.
" Oh wow. You're, uh. You're Batman. Love your work. I mean, Princess Di says you should take it easier since mortals don't fight gods, but it's so cool to me that you do. My mom died too! ...Sorry. Can you sign my pegasus?"
"...For?"
" Jerry. I mean, -- Yara! Sorry."
" Meeting new people isn't exactly my forte. It's fine. Is my training plan working for you? We can adjust it together."
"Oh! Well, I have some cool ideas,-"
For some, emotion gets lost when it comes to Batman. They see a wall of stone and tragedy, nothing beyond a twitch of lips reminding them there's a man wearing the cowl, not the other way around.
Dick's mouth is hanging open as he watches the blank expression on Bruce's face, patient with the excitable rambling in front of him. He rarely looks so happy on patrol.
"He smiled at her!"
Damian is very stubborn. He just won't accept it. Not even with the evidence of Diana's student taking a stream of selfies with his Baba, where he even smiles in one of them!
" Don't be ridiculous, Grayson. That's reaching a new low of stupid, even for you."
" Okay, one. I'm a very capable detective who thought YOU the robin ways. If I'm an idiot, you're an idiot."
" ...TT."
" Second... It wouldn't hurt to be home more often. I think he's lonely."
Damian frowns, " Baba deserves better than pity scraps. And you deserve better than forcing yourself to be here when you're not ready. It's unfair to you both."
"...Maybe I'm not an idiot after all."
The real challenge? The superboys.
"It's not that serious, Dames."
" Not that serious?!" Damian hisses when he's sad, it's a well known fact, " He put MY stickers on your bandages. You don't even NEED bandages!"
Jon shrugs, maybe, perhaps, intentionally flaunting the pink dragon stickers on his wrist. Accepting to arm wrestle Cass had been a bad idea, " It's a nice gesture."
Damian points a finger at him, then calms himself with a hollow breath, " I'm going to walk away. My therapist would be extremely proud of me."
But the bets were off when Jason visited.
"...What's your boy toy doing in my room?"
Tim drags a hand over his face as Kon whistles a marry tune, lounged comfortably on Jason's bed like a spoiled cat, " Dad Invited him over for dinner."
" I just figured it'd be nice to settle in! Since I'll be moving in soon and all," Kon smiles very smugly, " Bruce needs someone around since you just hate being here so much. You don't mind, right?"
" You know," Tim figures he should at least try to stop the slaughter, " I think Alfred's cookies are done. Let's go check."
Jason's radiating murder, " I think it's time for you to go home."
" Oh, I'd really love to see you make me."
Tim discovers Kon is immune to bullets, but not to being crashed through a wall.

Remnants of a star
Cassian x reader
Summary: Despite the many years since the loss of your mate, hiding your feelings on the anniversary of their death is impossible while you try celebrate Starfall with your new love, Cassian.
Surprise surprise, it’s more angst from me! Loved writing this for @starfallweek 🌟
A huge shout out to @writingsbychlo @azsazz for pulling such a magical event together – thank you for bringing Starfall to Tumblr!! ❤️❤️❤️
Words: 1,520
--------
“Sweetheart, you’re crying.”
“Am I?” Bringing shaky fingers to your cheeks, you felt the wet tracks they left behind. Cassian nodded with tight lips, pulling your hand gently from your face an encompassing it with his own.
Forcing a laugh that came out a lot breathier than you’d hoped, you brushed your tears away quickly. “Oh, I’m sorry. I suppose it’s the stars,” you said, raising your hand to the luminous streaks sparking across the night sky. “They’re so beautiful, it made me emotional.”
Cassian kept his eyes on you, his gaze burning as you looked anywhere but back at him. He stepped behind you then, gently snaking his arms around your waist and resting his head on your shoulder, his breath warm in your ear. You clenched your eyes shut – you knew you hadn't done a good enough job to fool him. But he played it cool, nonchalant even, respecting your privacy in the face of the rest of his family.
“How about we get out of here doll?”
You shook your head quickly. “No Cass, it’s your night with your family.”
He hugged you tighter, kissing your temple before murmuring into your hair. “And there’ll be a thousand more Starfalls to come. C’mon, I know the perfect place.”
You were just about to tell him to go join his brothers and that you would excuse yourself alone, before the sound of wings flaring filled your ears.
“Cass–”. You were cut off as Cassian launched the both of you to the sky, knocking the breath from your chest as he hauled you up, moving swiftly to cup your knees.
Clinging tightly around his neck, you stared ahead in awe as he gracefully weaved between the glowing spirits as they speared past you, leaving streaks of light like temporary strokes of luminescent paint. Clenching your eyes shut for just a moment, you tried to appreciate the beauty of Starfall, despite what had happened on this night all those years ago.
Cassian kept his eyes forward, concentrating to not disturb the stars on their journey. Long strands of hair were pushed back in the wind, his expression, while focused, still soft and kind. 
Cassian was everything good in the world. He was too good for it, and too good for you. It was instinct to snake your arms around his neck tighter, pulling yourself closer to him, as if his broad chest could smother you whole. How long could you hold him, both physically and in your heart, knowing you would never be good enough for his love?
After a short flight, Cassian landed gently in a part of the mountains you had never visited before. The night was quiet here, and you could see the occasional glow of a falling star through the tops of the sprawl of mountain ash trees – their canopies stretching so tall you had to tilt back to see. The terrain was unlike anything you had seen in Velaris, it was where forest met mountain. Around you, glowing insects fluttered softly, filling the void around you in a charming way.
All in all, it was a beautiful setting. But why had he bought you here?
“Where are we?” you asked.
“A favourite place of mine.” he answered with a smile, before focusing his eyes on you. “Doll, what’s going on?”
“I’m sorry,” you said, looking anywhere but at him. You had broken your own promise – spoiling Cassian’s celebration with his family despite your own feelings for Starfall. He was a good male, if not the best and he deserved to celebrate freely. Instead he was here, coddling you.
“You have nothing to be sorry for. What–?”
“No I do, I do Cass,” you interrupted him, blowing a sharp breath through o-shaped lips as you tried not to crumple right there and then. Bouncing one knee, you tried to blink away the frustration and anguish you felt at yourself, as tears began to well at your eyes.
Cassian moved closer, cupping your face in his large hands. “Hey, hey. Sweetheart, it’s all right.” he soothed, rubbing gentle thumbs over your cheeks. “What’s got you all strung out, hmm?”
“I’m selfish, I know, I'm sorry–”
“What in Cauldron’s–? Y/N, you are not selfish.” Cassian was frowning deeper now.
You shook your head in response. “It’s your special night with your family. I’m ruining the whole thing, and it only happens once a year, but I’m making it about me and–” Cassian’s eyes darted between your own as your rambles turned to blubbering, the Illyrian in front of you becoming more of a blur as you began to truly cry.
Even through your tears, you could sense the glow from the stars above fade as two large wings came to shield you, offering comfort, sanction, a place with no shame. Large hands left your face, instead pushing gently at your back to bring you closer to his chest, his arms firm as they wrapped around you.
So you held him back – tighter than you’ve ever held anything, as if the stars could take him away and make him one of their own, just like they did–
Cassian pulled back, looking down as he brushed away your tears before holding your chin in his calloused fingers. “You want to tell me where this is coming from, doll?”
Your lip trembled as you took yet another shaky breath. “It’s… the anniversary.”
Cassian frowned. “The anniversary?”
You dropped your gaze to the ground, your shoes covered by your gown, the beauty of the shimmering fabric an odd contrast with the mossy ground beneath you. “Yes,” you said eventually. “The anniversary of my mate…”
“Ah.” Cassian answered, knowing already. You looked up at him now, his big brown eyes focused on you, soft and patient and understanding. “You never told me it happened on Starfall.”
“It’s not a detail I like to recall.” You took a deep breath, preparing for the pain you knew it would cause to explain. “Each year I spend this night alone, watching the stars from my home and searching for the brightest one – the one that I know is them. But I’ve never found them, on the one night a year when I’m meant to, on the one night of the year where the Cauldron spares the living – instead it punishes me.”
Cassian sighed then, bringing his hands to your arms, grounding you before you could lose yourself to memories of lonesome Starfalls – the gut punching heartache when the last of the stars would shoot past, and another year of trying to connect to your passed mate in the only way you knew how, didn't happen yet again.
“This year, I promised myself I wouldn't look. And I feel so guilty. Guilty that I'm not looking for them, guilty that I still want to even though I’m here with you. I love you so, so much Cass – you’re the best thing in this world. You don't deserve someone like me, who still searches for a past love in the stars.”
Cassian shook his head, before levelling a look at you then. “They were your mate, Y/N. And they were taken from you. I can't even begin to know how much that must hurt, especially on a night like this.”
And although the relief of your confession helped ease the clench in your heart, Cassian's understanding made you cry harder. “I don't deserve you,” you whispered through sobs.
Strong arms pulled you into his waist. “And I love you,” he replied cooly.
You blinked up at him, unsure of how his love prevailed in a moment like this. “But Cass, we’ll never be mated.”
“I don't care.” A strong hand was bought to your jaw, cupping your face as Cassian leant in, softly placing his lips over yours. Something stirred inside you, like the faint remains of a broken bond finally being put to rest. It warmed you, and your skin felt alight as you kissed him back, kissed him hard, hands sliding to grip the roots of his hair as you pulled him to you, closer, never close enough.
Pulling away for just a moment, you looked up at the handsome Illyrian, his wings uncurling from around you as the rest of the forest was revealed. It was beyond your belief that there was a male capable of loving you so, despite everything you had told him.
“What are you thinking now, doll?”
“That I love you so much it hurts,” you said, a faint smile on your lips.
Cassian chuckled softly. “C’mere sweetheart,” he said, pulling you into a bear hug, swinging with you and kissing your hair.
A star so bright it lit the both of your faces shot above the tree tops, streams of it’s light finding the forest floor through the canopy. You smiled knowingly, tears of contentment staining your face as kissed Cassian again and again.

Seeing that the inspiration for the new event might be a certain fashion house, I got an idea that's been making me laugh.
Vil, of course, is handling all of this like the professional model he is. He knows what he looks great in, and picks appropriate pieces.
Azul and Jamil are thoroughly enjoying their experience getting styled. Azul's already a sharp dresser, and is basking in his elevated choices. Jamil is loving getting the chance to feel spoiled, and is enjoying the opportunity to indulge himself.
And Ace is just a lil' disappointed that he doesn't get these:
Tumblr media
... seriously. Look me in the eyes and tell me he's not a shorts-socks-and-slides kind of boy.
Oh Hi Nette!! How are you??? I read that you were sick...hope you are doing better? How are also the little kittens??
...
.....
.......
...............
Nette..
Netteeeeeeeeee that event thaaaat evennnnt I can't no moreeee!!
Yes...that so famous fashion house... I should have seen the hinnnt....
Because I was all time OMG NRC!Vil is wearing Guc*i!!!
Tumblr media
Loooook here Nette!!!!
I all time wanted to talk about fashion in Twisted Wonderland and inspiration ...but well.... I am scarred people would not like it.....
....
Anywayyyy!!
Haha!! Yes Vil is the pro, the icon, the moment, the Queen!!!
Azul and Jamil are truly a big surprise.... But I am not complaining since Azul has a very classic formal let's put all the best taste in the glasses fashion-sense, and Jamil....he deserves to be more spoiled ...to show us his beautifuuul hairs!!!!!
Ace is seriously the MC otome game, all time here for the best outfit xD!!! (That little, little spoiled baby bro brat)
....
Nette....
Yes I am LOOKING YOU in the eyes... He definitely he's....
He brought back some at Heartslabyul dorm...
Tumblr media
Fashion hearrrrt beaaamm attack!!
(I can't draw real pattern so let's make fake one...)
YOU MADE ME LAUGH SO HARRRRD!!
xD because I only approved socks with slippers like the Gucci socks association (wear fashion noticable sock/stocking...I mean it...it's so great)...In this kind of fashion sense..... Talk to someone who can't walk in split flip flop...
ALSOOOO PLEASEEEEE LITTLE ONE AROUND THE WORRRLLLD...
I beg you....and your feet and back too....Don't wear that except if you have specific socks with cut section.... BUT THAAAT
Tumblr media
Cass' can't walk in that...even without socks lol, my feet runaway, slide away like butter....... If you can...You have my respect!!!
.................
PERIOD..... Don't......xD You will hurt your backbone (the nurse talking) more than any heels (the fashion enjoyer talking)... and....just don't...
Ask Crewel....
Maybe don't ask him actually....
Haha again thanks Nette, it was a good laugh and a funny good headcanonnnn!!!!
Take care!!!!

hello, I was wondering if you can write bruce is dating a billionaire and she likes to spoil his kids? I can't think of a certain scenario, but if you want, she is a vigilante like him or just a civilian.
A/N: Thank you for your ask! I kept her as a civilian but I added some angst. Hope you enjoy :)
You knew why Bruce was calling, you’d been waiting for the call since your day started. That’s why you were prepared to cover every hole he would try to make in your story with a handful of backup plans just in case. 
“Hey babe. What’s up?”
“You know what.”
You fake a pondering noise. “No, no I don’t. I’ve been busy with work and the soup kitchen-“
“Y/N.”
“Oh, you mean the small present I gave Damian.” You waved him away. “It was nothing.”
“Nothing? You flew out his favorite artist and paid for a six-week painting class. I haven’t even brought up the painting supplies you bought him.”
“You’re being a drama queen.”
“Drama queen? Which one of us bought Duke Robert Frost’s typewriter?”
“The boy deserved it after patrolling for twenty-four hours straight.”
“Y/N.” Bruce sighed and you can see him pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Bruce, why can’t you let me do this for them? They spend their nights patrolling the streets and making sure that the city’s safe while I sit on my ass and act important. What’s the problem with getting them a few things?”
You regretted the words as soon as you said them. This was always a sore spot for you, even before knowing Bruce. You had never been comfortable with the amount of money that the business you inherited from your grandfather provided you. Sure, it felt nice to have the security only money could provide, but that security quickly turned into discomfort once you were launched into the upper-class world and saw how wasteful and disconnected they were from the rest of the world. And the way your family spoke of money furthered your need to be the opposite. So you turned to philanthropy, throwing almost all of your paycheck into social programs and charities, but it was never enough.
And when you met Bruce and his family and learned their secret, you couldn’t help but feel a spark of jealousy. Here was a person of the same financial caliber as you, doing more for the city than you ever could. You knew the possibility of becoming a vigilante was out of the question; it was too late to start training and you’d get queasy around blood. So you spoiled the vigilantes, buying them whatever whenever despite your boyfriend’s and Alfred’s reservations.
“Ignore what I said, but I don’t regret the presents.” You tried to sound nonchalant but failed.
There was shuffling at the other end of the line as Bruce dismissed his secretary from his office.
“Is that what this is about sweetheart?” His voice was so soft that it made you flicker with anger. “We talked about this.”
“Yeah, we did, so we don’t need to talk about it again.” You snapped. “Besides, I hope someone’s home before five.”
“Why?”
“Cass’ gift needs a signature.” 
Bruce sighed again. “Please tell me it’s not- y’know what? Never mind. You're still coming to dinner right?”
“Yeah, but I’m gonna be a little late. My meeting’s been pushed back an hour.” Your secretary popped her head in the doorway and held up a file. “I gotta go, see you tonight.”
“Okay sweet girl, we’ll talk more later.”
No pet name. You always gave him one when ending a phone call; it felt more natural than saying ‘I love you,’ which you never felt comfortable saying out loud. He drummed his fingers on his desk. You were stubborn; no matter how many times he said it and explained it to you, you still didn’t like you were doing enough. He tried to be selfish and explained how he and his kids would be worried about you the whole night, tried to be practical, and explain how Alfred needed help tending to their wounds. He even made a list of contributions you had made to Gotham’s less fortunate that had caused a more prolonged positive effect than his years of vigilantism ever did, but it was never enough. But Bruce was stubborn too and if it took the rest of his life to make you see your worth and stop comparing yourself to other, then he’d gladly do it. Never had he met anyone like you, as supportive and hardworking as you, and he wanted you to know that.
The trill of a phone call pulled him out of his thoughts. 
“Hey Al.”
“Sorry for interrupting your work day, Master Bruce. I wanted to inquire if you were aware of the six-foot box being unloaded in the foyer?”
Looks like your gift came early.

Inspired by a couple of other people doing similar, here’s a relationship chart for Chaye and the companions! (Plus Benny).
Extra charts and rambling under the cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chaye and companions:
EDE and Rex:
Chaye generally regards the eyebot and the dog as beloved pet companions, and the two of them regard Chaye as a caretaker. They’re the type to spoil Rex with those fancy raw meat and salmon oil and raw egg meals, and to talk to EDE as though they’re a person— albeit more like a young child than an adult.
Boone: He was one of the first companions that Chaye found and because of this, they ended up going to Bitter Springs with him fairly early in their story. They managed to pull him out of his suicidal haze, though not before he injured his arm. Their stubborn refusal to abandon him deeply strengthened their bond, and that injury later led to Chaye helping him shave his head — he has texture issues when it’s not shaved. They do however struggle with the emotional drain his pessimism has on them.
Veronica:
Their bond with Veronica is mainly over both of their interest in tech, as both of them regularly tinker with EDE and the mechanics of the Lucky 38. They unfortunately can’t handle her high energy for very long unless they’re manic, in which she’s about the only person who can keep up with them.
Cass:
If a hurricane was a relationship, it would be this one. After beating her in a drinking contest, convincing her to sell her caravan, and then helping her take revenge for said caravan, Chaye and Cass have had a rather tumultuous bond. They’re deeply (sexually) attracted to each other and have acted on said attraction several times, but Cass’s general extreme abrasiveness and her tendency to take advantage of their difficulty saying “no” has put a lot of tension between them.
Arcade:
Complicated. So, so complicated. Chaye has deeply rooted insecurities around romance and relationships for many, many reasons, most of which they’re still yet to remember. What impacts them most is their depression and their rejection sensitive dysphoria, and their general regard of Arcade as better than they are, deserving of better than their whole… mess. Of course this doesn’t stop them from hopelessly pining anyway, from caring for him and assigning him the affectionate nickname “dove” behind closed doors. His general hope in humanity and love for science, history and medicine, plus his witty humor are some of many traits that endear him to them. I could write ten paragraphs on their relationship but I’ll try to keep it smaller here. They’re close friends and their bond only grows as Chaye remembers their past (and figures out that they’re autistic like he is).
Benny:
Also complicated. The same issues of inadequacy plague Chaye about their feelings for him, as well as… confliction about what he did to them and his reasons why, his regret for the act. They initially were going to kill him by taking the black widow route, but ended up getting attached. Instead of him escaping to Fort Hill, they dragged him to House and offered to activate the securitron bunker in exchange for being allowed to keep Benny. House agreed… though Chaye killed him about two weeks after that. They’ve generally forgiven Benny, due to his plan and his decisions being out of desperation to keep the Geckos afloat and free the Mojave from its impending doom, especially once figuring out that he’s… not very much of a threat without his power. He’s kinda likeable, really, under all those layers of sexually charged snarkiness that he uses as a self defense.
Raúl:
They initially struck up a bond because Chaye speaks fluent Spanish and has as long as they can remember… or… well. Sometime in their past they must have been raised on the language, and the old ghoul was delighted to find another person who still spoke the dying dialect. Later on their relationship shifted to a slightly more grandparent/grandchild sort of thing, especially as Chaye eagerly learned recipes and stories about Mexico’s glory days from him.
Lily:
Ever since the old nightkin mistook Chaye for her beloved Jimmy, well. They can’t help but feel affection for her, sympathy for her, not having any memories of their own family themself. Her rare moments of clarity always leave a hollow ache in their chest, even as grateful as they are for when she recognizes their face and their name. She’s one of the only people who can calm them when they’re truly angry, especially considering she is the only one whose strength rivals theirs.
I don’t have any particular comments atm about the relationships between companions that the chart doesn’t explain, though I’m sure I’ll elaborate on another post.

Someone needs to write a fic where damian rescues a litter of kittens and its mom and just names them after his family,ending with everyone getting one kitten because alfred states that damian cannot keep all of them in the mansion
Tim with a very lazy orange cat that lays on his face when he stays more than 20 hours awake and bites every single cable he owns
Jason with a tuxedo cat that is the most sweet cat ever, hangs on his shoulders and purrs all the time
Dick and his super snarky fat grey cat, the most spoiled cat ever, that refuses any pets but meows for them anyway, because fuck if they dont crave the atention
Cass and her little black cat, a quiet shadow that never makes a fuss, likes to hang in high places and scares the living crap out of everyone at night by meowing
Duke with a tortoiseshell straight from hell, that just gets the crazies at the most random moments, breaking every single vase and family heirloom in the house, and god good dont they meow soo loud
Steph gets one too because yes, a calico cat, she makes a social media for them the same day, by the second it has more followers than any member of the batfam, full of photos of the little one walking with steph on the town, wearing cute clothes, sleeping and what not.
The mom Damian gifts to Bruce, because she doenst trust anyone else but damian and bruce, that understands how it feels to want to protect your family against the world while living in a city so full of darkness
I just, the bats and their cats, because cats are like that, they are a kind of love that you have to deserve, that you get by loving them just the same, but god its worth it, because when you get it its like no other, loyal to a fault and if that doesnt sound like the bats kind of love i really dont know what else

Hi, I'm back to life just to say thank you so much, the wait has been totally worth it and these few hours left until it releases might as well be the best countdown ever 😭😭
On another note, any suggestions on which route I should start with? I was thinking Bela and Miranda, but idk 👀
if u've played the demo, i'd recommend finishing up cass's or bela's routes. if u're looking for something easy to start with, i'd go for dani or angie since they're not as lore heavy. i personally recommend miranda's route as last because cinders did a great job in tying together everything in it. i can't say more because i don't to spoil things, but miranda's route deserves to be savoured (with lots of time to play through because it is thicc)

mother selina. yeah. ohhhhh she adores Bruces kids. Even the oldest ones!!!
with Dick it was a little… hm, tricky?? she never EVER wants to insert herself into these boys lives if they choose to not want her. dick hated it in the beginning. he had just lost his parents and was now put into this situation with his adopted father and his klepto girlfriend. she was sweet, yeah, but she wasn’t his mother. nobody was going to replace his mom. but.. then.. selina started coming around a lllot more.. she would make him.. hot coco on cold snowy mornings.. and watch movies the movies Bruce would never watch with him… and would take him back to school shopping… and would bring him soup and fuzzy socks when he got sick…. and FUCK man, she gave the best hugs and the warmest snuggles. OKAY! you got him, he adored his adopted mom. and he started calling her mom, even into adulthood. she stepped in without forcing herself onto him and that was exactly what he needed. she was there for him when no one in the manor was. bye crying.
as if that wasn’t angsty enough…. Ahem. Selina was there the moment Jason was taken in from the streets. she watched this skittish, curious boy turn into the snarkiest back talker. she watched him train to be robin and saw the excitement glisten in his eyes every-time he went out and kicked ass. she saw his quiet moments where he sat and did homework or read by the fireplace. they never really had a relationship, he acknowledged her presence and never turned down anything motherly that Selina would offer. he was stand offish with women and she knew that. so she never forced anything onto him and he appreciated that. but ooohh when Jason died. her heart shattered into pieces. he didn’t deserve what happened to him. we all know that. the manor always felt way too big after that. There wasn’t a kid around for aaawwhillee and she hated what happened to Bruce afterward. now when Jason came back and started to be cool with the family again?? THATS when they started their bond. theyll go out for lunch or grab coffee. he’ll rant about things and ask for help and she always happily listens. everyones sure jay is her second fav fs.
i’ve said this before ok…. but Tim is her favorite. its never outright said but the entire family kNOWS!!! She 100% spoils him, she’ll steal buy him clooothes, fooood, other silly things he needs or wannnts. its cute. before she moved in and married Bruce, she used to have Tim over for like girls nights and shit. they’d stay up and talk, gossip while mean girls plays in the background. they still do this after she moves in but its not as frequent. i also feel like tim hangs with harley and ivy. like they’ll all have girly nights and talk!! harley does timmys naaaillls while they giggle about random things. if tim is having an issue with his s/o, ivy will try to console him and give her best advice. selina will pipe in here and there. i love that hc specifically cus auntie harley n ivy own my heart.
Damian obviously has the biggest issue out of all of them. he cant stand another woman trying to squeeze her way into his life. he hates it. he respects her, of course. but he simply does not treat her like a mother. it breaks Selinas heart simply because she hasn’t done anything for him to outright hate her but she understands where hes coming from and always backs off. he opens up just a little later on but is still very.. side eye! they share a love for animals and like a few of the same movies. once, Selina took Dami out for boba ^_^ he actually loved it so much but never told anyone. i dont have a lot on her and damians relationship becauseeee i just feel like he really doesnt have much to do with her? they have their sweet moments but other than that, they don’t interact much.
im getting into Cass’s story so be prepared for some girl dad bruce hc’s soon

fics i want for the batfam
a fic where damian, duke and tim get lost in England together just as civilians. they're still vigilantes but they're forced on break. Cass is also there but no one but oracle knows. Cass just fucks around making things chaotic.
The Al Ghuls (+jason) hanging out
just a bunch of times where steph is recognised as apable/impressive to the batfam
more dick's batman era fics where they are just found family. all of them. Alfred, Babs, Steph, Dick and damian.
Helena being steph's big sister
dick jason and cass acting immature and childish together (they deserve it)
jay not telling the bats he's hood and just kinda does his killing thing but ends up like being a huge softie with the birds and batman doesn't go on his ass for the killing thing- cause ever since red hood appeared statistics have gotten better. and he becomes like- an ally??? he like goes into the cave but he keeps his hood on and doesn't show his face. and the bats are chill. even funnier if JL/YJ/Titans saw him once or twice and went "who tf is that one?" "hood?" "who is he?" "no fucking clue, but he's really gentle" "he has guns & explosives with kryptonite strapped to his thigh"
cass just having a break down.
Where oracle helps like CONSISTENTLY LIKE FAIL WITHOUT THEM on teams like JL, Titans, BoP, Bats&Birds and YJ and the non-bats/birds try to find out her identity but fail??? and then they're lowkey scared cause holy fuck why do they know so much. Then they meet babs. and are intimidated.
duke and kate eating fries on a rooftop sharing opinions and insights on the bats + duke being comfortable to ask her questions he wouldn't ask the others.
MORE HOGWARTS AUs specifically ones with tim in slytherin, dick&duke in Gryffindor, Jason in Ravenclaw, and Dami & Cass in Hufflepuff and they all thrive in their houses. other things needed are jay with weasely twins, damian sneaking in other towers because he hates hufflepuff at first by purely fucking scaling the walls. cass being a ginny chaos enabler, jason/duke/dick in tri-wizard tournament and helping harry out, duke explaining his meta powers by "haha guys i swear it 's the wiz-waz-wand lmao", them all ditching the yule ball to hangout and play tag in the forbidden woods.
#only in gotham
everytime the gotham sirens called batman a bitch
JL meeting bat's kids (+steph, kate, harper) and thinking holy fucks sake these guys are scarier than batman. Especially constantine and steph (lmao iconic depressed blondes in completely different directions)
damian, jon and billy batson causing mayhem
steph getting to secretly be a single mom (B doesn't know) but every bat +superman (y'know for funnsies let's throw him in to give steph a heart attack) thinks they are the only one who knows.
if steph never met the bats got herself crazy mentors (league even??) and was strong enough to be recruited to titans while being SIGNIFICANTLY younger so it's basically them fighting to adopt spoils. who, no, has not shown her face yet.
wayne memes where social media users talk about how much of a meme the waynes are also who tf is steph she is everywhere but she isn't even famous or a wayne and is she a in-law or step-sis?
benard being the batshit crazy one in him and tims relationship
Oliver queen just witnessing mental breakdowns from every bat (yes even the big man) without them knowing he's there and him just slowly walking away with chips or something trying not to crunch loudly so they won't notice him but he's hallway already crunching.
dick just crashing at different titans places when bruce kicks him out and him REFUSING to explain (no, no one in JL knows where robin is but when he's gone THEY ARE SCARED)

I Watched The Society in 2023
I finished binge watching The Society a couple days ago, knowing it was cancelled before it got a second season.
1 I disliked Allie. And that goofy smile she did when Lexie was talking about how she had to undress in front of the Guard, that smile made me hate Allie even more. I can't stand her.
2 Elle is awesome. Her relationship with Campbell was awesome until the reveal that he's a violent psychopath who can't love her. Real bummer, because that was my favorite pairing in the show.
3 Grizz is awesome. I got a lot of respect for him when he opted out of killing Dewey. The guy has a heart of gold.
4 I actually like Lexie and sympathize with her.
5 During the tag football thing outside on the Thanksgiving episode, I loved the scene when Jason is scolding Will after he got tackled by Kelly. Man, I wish this show got a second season.
6 When they played Fugitives in the second episode, that was awesome. Too cool.
7 That girl in the green prom dress, Jessica, I wish we saw more of her. She was one of those minor characters I became fond of, even though she was barely in the show. She should've been a side character or main character. You cannot show a beautiful character walking in a ruined street while wearing a beautiful dress and not promote her to main character status.
8 When Sam scolded Allie and she was just looking at him, I LMAO'd.
9 I loved the Will and Kelly ship.
10 I loved the Allie/Cassandra sister bond. Like when Allie used herself as a human shield when Campbell pointed his gun at Cassandra. That's sisterly love right there. Allie was a bit of a jerk to Cass sometimes, though.
11 I loved the Gordie and Cassandra pairing. When he said he was going to learn to take care of her, man, my heart ❤️
12 Allie was right when she defended Campbell when Will wanted him executed. You can't kill someone for something they might do. People IRL want to punish people with mental disorders just because they might hurt someone in the future, which is wrong. You punish people when they actually commit a crime. Not before.
13 I love how Allie grieves Cassandra's death. How she lays on her death spot. This show didn't do the cliché non-stop sobbing. The writers made Allie mourn in creative, realistic ways.
14 Someone on Reddit said The Society isn't groundbreaking television, and the person didn't elaborate. How is this not groundbreaking television?
15 That nightmare about the Guard slitting Will's throat and shooting Allie. Pretty cool. And wonderful foreshadowing, considering the Guard betrays Allie and Will in the end. Also, Luke's girlfriend, Helena, was cool until Elle revealed that she (Helena) called Elle a thot. That was so weird and jarring, considering Helena seemed like such a nice character until that moment. Elle is a sweet angel BTW. She deserved better.
16 Kelly was awesome. But I hated it when she cussed out that one girl for saying generalizing men is wrong. Happened in episode 3 at the meeting building, I believe. Also, I had a short-lived theory that Harry and Kelly were brother and sister, because of the fact their parents were having an affair with each other. I figured Harry's mom gave birth to him and Kelly. I guess I watch too much House of the Dragon.
17 I knew the bus driver in the photos was going to become a big deal. I noticed how they kept showing his face whenever the school bus trip pictures were shown, and I knew this would be brought up later.
18 I wish Campbell got killed off.
19 I wish Cassandra lived. I do have to mention that I know she got killed off before I even watched the show. I spoiled it for myself. But I forgot who the killer was. The mystery surrounding the murderer was messing with my mind lol.
20 Wishing this show had more hugs. Allie and Cassandra didn't hug at all.
21 All Becca did was be pregnant. That seemed to be her only thing. She seemed more like a figment of Sam's imagination, since she hardly interacted with any of the other characters.
22 I really hate Allie's character. Kelly and Grizz should have been the main two characters. Also, Will is painfully bland as a character. At least Allie has some complexity to her. Will is one-note and his thing seems to be "I had a bad life" and nothing else.
23 The Society is a great show. It has some flaws, like having the painfully frustrating characters Allie and Will, but that doesn't make it a mediocre show. It's pretty good. And it needs a second season.

Book Blurb: Thanks to her thriving art career, Miriam Blum finally has her decoupaged glitter ducks in a row—until devastating news forces her to a very unwanted family reunion. Her beloved great-aunt Cass has passed and left Miriam part-owner of Carrigan’s, her (ironically) Jewish-run Christmas tree farm. But Miriam’s plans to sit shiva, avoid her parents, then put Carrigan’s in her rearview mirror are spoiled when she learns the business is at risk of going under. To have any chance at turning things around, she’ll need to work with the farm’s grumpy manager—as long as the attraction sparking between them doesn’t set all their trees on fire first. Noelle Northwood wants Miriam Blum gone—even if her ingenious ideas and sensitive soul keep showing Noelle there’s more to Cass’s niece than meets the eye. But saving Carrigan’s requires trust, love, and risking it all—for the chance to make their wildest dreams come true.
Review:
A artist with a traumatic past returns home to her family after her beloved relative died... only to discover romance and an inheritance she never expected. Miriam Blum is just about to open up her own store, after striving and slowly building up her career as an artist she’s finally going to have her own store. However, just as she is getting ready to open she receives devastating news, her beloved great-aunt Cass has passed away and left Miriam part-owner of Carrigan’s, her (ironically) Jewish-run Christmas tree farm. Miriam’s plan is to just sit shiva, avoid her parents, and then leave Carrigan to the other co-owners.... except things never go as planned. Miriam has been away from her family for 10 years, after finally escaping the abuse of her father and her emotionally distant father. She is now forced to face all her old emotional hurts... as well as the happy memories as well. Along the way she meets Noelle Northwood, the grumpy farm manager who wants nothing more than to get Miriam out. Despite the sparks between Noelle and Miriam, both of them start off on the wrong foot as Noelle believes that Miriam doesn’t deserve all the love from her family as she ran away from them for 10 years and she doesn’t want Miriam invading her space... and yet the more they both get to know each other the more they begin to soften to each other and fall. both Miriam and Noelle have complicated lives and past hurts, but working together to keep the farm going and to create a future for this Christmas Businesses both of them will begin to fall for one another. This was a sweet and super cute fun Christmas rom-com. I had so much fun reading it and think it’s just absolutely adorable.
*Thanks Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing), Forever for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Okay! I made a little ask on your other account specifically for your AU :)
But, since we're on the topic of au's, I actually have a little recommendation for another one that you've probably heard of, but in my opinion, it's still pretty underrated and deserves all the love in the world. It's called the Little Brother au, and Sharkfinn, the creator of it, made an original character named Spot. It's basically a separated au where Spot is being raised by Draxum, except this Draxum is just a really good Dad, so that's nice for a change. There's a lot more that goes into it, but I don't wanna spoil anything. So just go check it out if that sounds interesting at all. It's just that after Cass's Apocalyptic Series ended, Finn's au has really gotten me through that tough pain of letting an amazing story go. So, maybe it could do the same for you.
Say, I've actually chatted with Finn a little bit about digital art and how he's made his au, so if you wanted, you could ask him some questions! I think he'd be happy to have another fellow oc au comic artist in the Tumblr space asking for some pointers :]
But that's just a suggestion. Regardless, I'm happy to see others make their own au's with their own storylines and characters and world building and all of that because it is my absolute DREAM to create my own fan works and share it with a fandom as big as this one. That's what sharing your passion is all about, man! It's my absolute happy place just interacting with the things I love and making others laugh and learning a thing or two along the way, yk?
But I gotta stop myself right there because I'll start rambling on-and-on about my love for this fandom because God knows I'd never stop, lol. Anyway, I'm happy to be here, so thank you for having me ❤️
I’m thinking of putting a comic up for your ask right now I’m so ready to get going with it
AAAAAAAAAAA but thank you for the suggestion and the motivation to keep going with this AU! It’s a pretty big project that I’ve had playing in my brain for the past couple years and it means a ton to me!
Totally forgot to even mention what it’s called lmao - It’s called the New Home AU. The name symbolizes Clover’s entrance into a new, healthier life and a new home with a new family. Her name also ties into some important details later down the line which is completely unintentional on my part, but I’m not saying what until someone asks for the answer on my blog~ I’m not teasing anything cuz I literally just realized this as I’m typing it but if anyone out there were to randomly be like “Hey why’s ur name Clover???” I’ll just make a response like “Hey yeah so uhh it’s cuz of this one random detail that I literally just noticed haha” I doubt someone would ask that and they don’t have to at all but it would be so hilarious if that happened right????
ANYWHIZZLE I think I’ve heard of this AU actually! I found an animatic around a year or so ago on YouTube of a smaller turtle brother being sad about the fact that he can’t do his bandages properly on his own and Raph comes in, offers to help, while the little guy remisces on his time with Draxum. Though that last bit had an ominous subtext to it so I’m gonna assume that’s not it… I’ll totally check this AU out though! Seems super fun!

Sometimes I'm in the mood for Damian learning to admit to insecurities and trust his family and growing up from the toxicity he'd been raised with but sometimes I also just want the Batfam to completely and utterly spoil him, let him get away with stuff, anyone who even so much gets mean with him gets their life ruined by a seventeen year old with a camera and even kids who are snide gets taught a mild if embarrassing lesson by his sister and brother (idk but Cass and Duke are the ones who most give the vibes of 'will throw hands with a three year old' especially side by side), any Rouge that gets a hit in at Robin also gets broken bones with it, heroes who show even disapproval of the new Batfamily member are suddenly involved in some kind of guerrilla war they're not quite sure of the rules of or if it's even happening, and public representatives who even imply distaste for him gets crushed under Brucie's boot, like, rather than Damian self-reflecting because he'd been chewed out and he hurt someone and he realized he maybe doesn't like to be doing that his whole life and understanding that he shouldn't act so obnoxious, he gets validation because if his family, maternal and paternal, blood and adopted, all agree that he's worth loving and he deserve everything he wants, then it must mean it's true and he eventually simultaneously is mellowed out by it but also gets worse in his entitlement. Like, he's the kid who this world has been promised to and he's got the siblings to give it to him if he wants it to. Like the bonds among them are secured this way. Damian can be as horrible or nice as he wants to but regardless it won't change his family's love for him and he gets comfortable in his place and his self and he can show his love for others because wether he appears weak or strong they'll still adore him, for the simple reason that he's the resident baby sibling.
(Of course, you may insert something about him being extra paranoid and terrified of having a younger sibling himself and being replaced.
But he won't, because Barbara can tell him a Bat-computer's worth of records of all the things Dick has let Tim get away with, and things Barbara has let Cass get away with, and the things Cass and Tim let Duke get away with.
Like, there's no going around the Batfam is a found family but it can also be a toxic found family environment, but rather than them hurting each other, they just indulge and encourage not just harmful habits but also rather cruel aspects of each other because of 'if it makes them happy and they're not killing anyone then it can't be that bad' mentality even if it means cooing over your little sister because she's so cute when she looks so satisfied and proud of herself for managing to break all the bones in a rapist's body without killing him.)
I'll admit I don't spend that much time thinking about Damian especially in regards to how much I think of Tim, but also I just read something of Damian that really emphasized to me how conditional his parents' (and save for a few most of the people he's surrounded by) love for him are, and that's not a new thing and not exclusive to him, but it's really so heartbreaking for the kid and i just suddenly want all the nice things for him. I think Damian deserves that and more, you know, as the baby of the Batfam.

request: hello! i just saw ur tea party post. can i please request Cassie Sandsmark (if you write for her,if not then maybe cass cain?) +going out on a coffee date together? preferably they/she pronouns ^^
hi my love!! so i'm so sorry for the late post, but im gonna do cass cain <3
cassandra cain x reader, 282 words
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
cass hardly ever gets time off.
which is why when she does, you cash in and take her out.
in your defense, cassandra deserves to be spoiled rotten in any way you can afford it. and its the simple things in life that make her happy, like taking her to a park that opened up recently or that new cafe tim told her about but cass never got the the time to go to.
that's where you are today
and incredibly honestly, everything the both of you have been through is worth it in that moment, as cass is trying to drink a milkshake out of three straws, you have never been more in love.
you two have been together for a while but she still manages to get you falling deeper and deeper.
this was the side of cassandra only you saw aside from her family, and you would do anything to keep it this way as long as you lived.
"is everything ok?" cass asks you, head tilted in a way you find adorable. it seems like she's done with the milkshake and three straws, and now she's found your drink more intresting.
you know she's not being extremely serious because of the way she's smiling.
you lock your fingers together and press a kiss to the back of her hand. "perfect."
and with that, you get up to try to snatch your drink back from her and instead she lifts her hand out of your reach, getting up as well.
just as youre about to whine, she uses her other hand to tug your top closer to you and kiss you, making you match her smile.
yup, worth it
