Billionaire brothers au
Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen and Tony Stark were all theatre kids and could definitely perform so many plays and sing the songs perfectly. They all love Hamilton, Six and most musicals and have been to see all the plays during the first showing of them.
In this au Bruce and Oliver are like 23ish while Tony is 21, but no one else remembers due to how much they've done, so they're all gen z
You will randomly find them singing together when they're bored and all the batkids love it because they're great singers, definitely took singing classes together with other rich kids, like Hope(marvel idk her last name) and Lex luthor.
When at galas, if they get bored enough they'd hack into the system, turn on disco lights and play proper party music and sing to it.
Also it's a singer au, where they are all a part of an anonymous band named something dumb like Veota or something they started when they were younger (so all popular modern day songs were written by them and their friends) and they just couldn't be bothered to deal with more paparazzi so no one knows.
So one day the justice league comes over to Bruce's bc they need him for something and they're just singing together with a bunch of famous rich kids and they're just.baffled. so confused. And they just don't care.

Dumb Money Thoughts
Diversity win: the Sapphic interracial Gen Z couple barely passed The Bechdel Test
Even while doing a New England accent, Clancy Brown will always be Lex Luthor to me.
Keith Gill doing all this off of *YouTube* live-streaming instead of Twitch is wild to me.
Are we to believe Mets owner Steve Cohen really walks around indoors wearing a Mets cap?
In contrast, Gabe Plotkin surviving this to buy the Hornets this August surprisingly isn’t mentioned!
Pete Davidson & Anthony Ramos have now been in 2 movies not requiring them to film in the same room.
This might be the film I’ve seen not strictly about 👑🦠 that depicted mask-wearing with some semblance of consistency.
Olivia Thirlby played a 23 year-old a decade ago and and now it’s hard for me to accept she’s in her mid-30s even though math [sic].
More thoughts below cut
The movie’s tagline of “The Top 1% Thinks You’re Dumb” bothered me before I was reminded from the credits that the solidly 1% Winklevoss Twins were executive producers. Whether you can destroy the master’s house with his tools is a long-running argument that I’m not going to settle here. But I take the tagline to imply “Rich people can play games and they think you can’t,” when the problem is that the games don’t make sense. GameStop underpays and overworks its employees yet still is not profitable. How should anybody be making money off of that?

Off the record
Short #supercorp fic based on this post.
I’m not really a fan of William, but after last night’s episode, I kind of like where they’re taking his character. That being said, let him and Kara be journalist bros! 
It’s also on AO3 for anyone that’s interested! 
Of all the assignments he’d been on, William knew his embedment with the superfriends was going to be the most challenging by far. 
Okay, yeah he’d been in some sticky situations before; standing side by side with the people of Hartlepool during the eminent domain crisis, investigating the most famous man on the planet, Lex Luthor, and being in the middle of a bloody war zone in Syria. Yeah, you could say that he’d experienced everything investigative journalism had to offer.
But this? This was going to be a whole other level.
When Andrea had demanded that he cover the heroes and heroines of National City, the last thing he’d expected was to actually be able to get in with them. Then Nia and Kara had miraculously pulled some strings with Supergirl which saw him eventually standing in the tower with the Martian Manhunter himself.
And the superfriends were pretty welcoming for the most part. William had scribbled down various character descriptions of each of them on his first meetings with them all. 
Dreamer was bubbly, welcoming and definitely seemed to be Gen Z. Supergirl herself was courageous, kind and the embodiment of a superhero. She seemed to have no problem with him being there. However, William couldn’t quite work out whether J’onn J’onzz wanted to throw him off the balcony of the Tower or not, and Alex Danvers? Well, William didn’t feel very easy around her, like how on earth she was related to Kara?
The real surprise was Lena Luthor.
The scientist sister of Lex Luthor and probably one of the most famous women on the planet was working with the superfriends. Oh, yeah, and she had magic. After a few conversations with the younger Luthor, the first of which had seen him ramble about his dad’s baking and likening it to magic spells, William had started to see why Kara was so enamoured with Lena.
She was very kind, warm and accepting of William’s presence in the Tower. He’d often find her hunched over that old Harry Potter style spellbook for hours on end, where the two of them would bond over their dead parents. 
Yes, that might seem a bit morbid, but he felt he really had built up quite the friendship with her. When they weren’t talking about their families, William and Lena would chat about their favourite blends of tea, the latest episode of The Great British Bake Off and of course, Kara.
So yeah, there had been a point, a few months back, when William had developed feelings for his fellow CatCo reporter - but he knew that the two were better off as mates. Kara had pretty much made it clear she wasn’t interested, and after she’d disappeared to work on a story with Cat Grant without so much as a goodbye, William knew where he’d stood. Not that he was sad about it or anything! He was very where things were going with Mary.
When Kara returned, he found himself feeling nothing but friendly vibes between him and the woman. So William had struck up their friendship, and found that he and the blonde were way better now than during their awkward dating phase. 
Which is how he came to find out about how Kara felt about a certain best friend of hers. 
During post-work drinks at Al’s bar one night, not long after her return to CatCo, and maybe one too many cocktails downed, Kara had told William in confidence about her feelings for Lena.
‘How’re things with Mary?’ she’d asked him between giggles.
The two of them had just smashed out another performance of Toto’s Africa during Karaoke night.
‘Amazing, I’m taking her camping next weekend!’ he’d gushed back. 
‘Awww!’
Never in a million years did he think a city boy like him would enjoy sleeping in the wilderness. But Mary made him want to be brave and try new experiences. 
‘What about you Kara? Any special guy you want to tell me about?’
It was nice that they both felt like they were at a stage during their relationship where they could chat about these kinds of things. This was when they truly became close friends and not just co-workers.
‘Ha, no. Well, sort of no...I guess?’ Kara had replied, somewhat quietly.
‘You guess?’ William had snorted back. ‘That’s a bloody confusing answer, Kara.’
‘Ok, can I tell you something?’ she’d asked him, with a serious but nervous look on her face. ‘Something no-one else knows but me?’
‘Of course,’ William had reassured her, grabbing a hold of the blonde’s hand to urge her to continue. ‘I feel honoured that you want to share it with me of all people.’
‘Okay,’ Kara had said, determined, ‘I’m in love with my best friend.’
‘Wow, I did not expect that,’ he’d mumbled to her in initial shock before everything had then clicked in his head. ‘Wait? Isn’t your best friend-’
“-Lena Luthor,” Kara answered for him. “Yeah.”
So that was it. Kara Danvers admitted to him, and only him, about her huge gigantic crush on her best friend, that just so happened to be a witch and working with the superfriends. Yes, William’s life had turned upside down very dramatically in the space of a year. 
So during his one on one chats with Lena, he may or may not have been trying to put in a good word for his co-worker. After all, he and Kara were mates, and he wanted to see her happy. Plus, Lena was more than happy to chat with him all day about Kara, but whether or not she returned the blonde’s feelings, that was what William was struggling to find out. 
There was something there though.
The way Lena’s emerald eyes just lit up and the mere mention of Kara’s name. Her proud smile when he pointed out how good Kara’s latest article was. The little lip-bite when Lena received a text from her. Yes, there was definitely something there, William could practically smell it.
The only thing that was throwing him off, and ultimately getting in the way of Kara and Lena, was Supergirl.
It was really weird, the way she kept flirting with Lena in The Tower. The way the superhero was never more than a few feet away from her, always staring at her with this face of adoration. There’d been a few times when William had walked in on the two of them sharing what looked like to be a romantic moment between the two. They weren’t snogging or anything, but they stood pretty close together, sharing this look. The sexual tension was off the chart.
And what made things worse, was that Lena seemed to be enjoying it.
It was after one long day spent hunting the next totem and Nyxly, that William decided he wasn’t going to stand it anymore. Poor Kara deserved a chance, and Supergirl was ruining that without his friend even knowing!
So, he hatched a plan in his head. He was going to make it his mission (well side mission cause he did have an assignment there after all) to stop Supergirl flirting with Lena. First, he’d just try to distract Supergirl whenever she and Lena were alone together. But if it meant that he ultimately had to confront the hero, he’d do that too. Whatever it takes.
Team superfriends? Nah, William Dey was Team Kara Danvers.
It didn’t take long until he had to start his mission. The very next day, he’d volunteered to accompany them when Lena said she needed to grab a plant from the Botanical Gardens for a spell. Oh no, there was no way he’d let them two wannabe lovebirds go alone!
Later on, he walked on the two of them bickering like an old married couple over some spell to do with the Humanity Totem. The ethics behind what Supergirl wanted to do to protect the people of the city was a little questionable. William had agreed with Lena when she’d put her foot down and outright refused to do something ruthless because ‘the ends justify the means.’
‘Great, I don’t even have to do anything here, they’re already at each other’s throats!’ he’d thought as Nia had led him to the Tower’s swanky kitchen.
By the time they’d figured out a plan to stop the magical imp, William had been annoyed to find out that Lena had ended up agreeing with Supergirl. The two had simply strolled back into the main area of the Tower, looking like the ultimate power couple. 
That’s when William knew he was going to have to get a bit more hands-on with his mission.
A few days later, his first article on the superfriends had been published by Andrea, who he’d also managed to put in her place. So William was feeling pretty confident. 
Which is why, When he walked into the tower with a fresh box of doughnuts for the team, he was downright pissed off as he saw Supergirl gazing at an oblivious Lena across the room. What did he do? He downright marched over to the caped heroine and dragged her by the arm into the kitchen. Well not so much dragged, Supergirl was heavier than she looked. It was more like she reluctantly let William lead her away.
“William? What the-” the Kryptonian spluttered, confused at the reporter’s actions.
“Sorry but I needed to talk to you,” he huffed, setting the doughnuts down on the counter. “In private.”
“Okay?” Supergirl said, puzzled, “What about?”
She reached over and helped herself to one of the glazed snacks. That just annoyed William further.
“About Miss Luthor,” he stated, crossing his arms over his chest.
It was kind of hard to look intimidating to someone who could launch him into the sun with the flick of her wrist, but William tried his best.
“Why? Is something wrong Mr Dey?” Supergirl said defensively, straightening her back and putting down the doughnut. 
“Yeah, there is,” he retorted. “I’m gonna need you to back off mate.”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me Supergirl, you need to keep away, ensure there’s a 1.5-metre distance between you - whatever you want to call it! Stay away from Lena.”
“And why would I do that?!” Supergirl snarled.
Well, William had succeeded in pissing off a Kryptonian. 
“I’ve seen the way you look at her, and it’s not friendly,” he replied cooly. 
“So?” the hero bit back. “So what if it’s not? So what if I like her, hmm?”
“Well, that’s why I’m telling you nicely to back off.”
“Why? So you can have her for yourself? I don’t think she likes you in that way, Mr Dey.”
“I never said she did, but this isn’t about me, this is about Kara,” William emphasised.
Suddenly the superhero’s aggressive stance retreated. Her blue eyes - wow they looked really familiar actually - softened right in front of William’s eyes.
“K-Kara?” Supergirl said quietly. 
“Yeah, Kara’s my mate and between you and me, she really likes Lena okay? And I think...no, I know that Lena likes her back too. So, you need to back off and give the two of them a chance to figure it out.”
“What-you think Lena...likes Kara?”
“Yeah, I’m 100% positive really-” William trailed off, noticing that there was a figure now standing at the door.
It was Lena herself, watching on from a distance, her spell book clutched tightly in her hands.
“Ask her yourself, she’ll tell you,” William continued, pointing behind Supergirl.
“What will I tell her?” Lena’s soft voice echoed out.
The superhero’s head whipped round to face the other woman so fast that William was surprised she didn’t get whiplash.
“That you like Kara,” he stated. “As more than friends.”
Lena’s cheeks flushed and she gave Supergirl this weird look. William suddenly felt like they didn’t even notice he was there.
“I-I do,” Lena rasped and Supergirl choked on her breath. “Want to be more than friends, that is.”
“I knew it!” William cheered, and fist pumped the air.
Oh Kara was going to be so stoked.
“Y-You, you do?” Supergirl spluttered, sounding shocked but not disappointed.
Oh, well that was weird. Surely she should be heartbroken or sad by Lena’s admission...right? 
“More than anything,” Lena grinned at her, with tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
Supergirl let out a long sigh and was smiling back? Now William was confused. Suddenly there was that sexual tension between the two again. Lena had somehow moved closer to Supergirl until she was all but touching the hero. What the hell was going on?
Lena stopped just a hair’s breadth away from Supergirl and gently slid her hands up to cup the blonde’s face. Supergirl beamed at her with loving eyes as she slowly started to lean in.
William knew he needed to do something otherwise before he knew it, these two were going to be making out.
“Hold on!” he all but barked as he threw his hand between the two of them, pushing them apart. “What the bloody hell are you doing Lena?”
“Well, I...um” the Luthor stuttered before she gave a pleading look to Supergirl.
The hero just smiled and shook her head, “William?” 
“What? I’m so pissed at you both! How could you do this to poor-” Before he knew it Supergirl had flown out the room in the blink of an eye and returned dressed as, “-Kara?!”
“Surprise?” his co-worker slash superhero chuckled. 
As William stood gaping like a fish, Lena reached over and laced their hands together. Kara turned to the other woman and leaned in and kissed her square on the mouth, without a care that the reporter was in the room. When he’d finally regained his ability to talk, William called out to the pair.
“I guess you want this to be off the record too?”

Batfam Headcanons
Social Media Edition
Dick Grayson
Makes thirst traps on tiktok and posts videos of himself being all flippy and shit w/ the caption “still got it #circusbrat” way too often
Loves challenging gender norms with his fashion choices and bc of that he’s like a ditzy Gotham version of Harry Styles
He’s adored by the she’s, they’s, and gays
Most likely to post baby photos of the fam
Is never on social media the week of the anniversary of his parents death, it’s not a conscious decision he’s just rlly contemplative during that time
V vocal about social issues and encourages his brothers to be vocal as well
Has posted vids of him doing dumb dance routines with Babs
Has a video of himself ranking cereals w Alfred in the back looking disappointed
Jason Todd
No one knows who this person is, all his accounts are anonymous
They just know this one account posts a lot of pictures of Wayne manor and the Wayne family
Some theories: he’s the Wayne’s publicist, he’s an assistant, he’s a manager, a close family friend, the ghost of that one Wayne that died
That last theory is considered v insensitive and a lot of ppl get mad when it’s mentioned
There is a buzzfeed unsolved on the death of Jason Todd
There’s also a buzzfeed unsolved on the disappearance of the second robin
Jason has made up several conspiracies about his own death using separate accounts, these theories have become the most popular
Jason constantly leaks dumb stories about the fam to the press, most are untrue
Ex: “Dick Grayson is madly in love with the vigilante known as Nightwing!” “Tim Drake is missing several organs?!” “Damian Wayne sleeps with a nightlight”
They did an interview w/ a lie detector and tried to deny the stories... they all failed
Tim Drake
There are accounts that just post pics or vids of Tim falling asleep in random places
Half the time he’s in the weirdest positions
He’s considered the ultimate example of gen z
Soft boi ™
Does charity twitch streams
These streams often include Connor so now the internet is obsessed with their relationship
He has a YouTube channel just for fun and uploads about monthly, more often if he’s with Connor
Twitter crashed after he posted “my boyfriend does my make up” with Connor
He constantly posts conspiracy theories and eat the rich memes
One time he tweeted “Eat the rich” and Connor replied “if you insist 😏”
That interaction got them both banned from social media from a week and started #daddywayne trending (in response to Bruce’s parenting)
Damian Wayne
Posts v rarely and mainly formal updates that the family is required to do
Bc of this his most recent tweets are:
“The Wayne family is shocked and disturbed by recent allegations. While it is publicly known that the Wayne children have a rocky history with Lex Luthor, the belief that they would spray paint “Lex Luthor Sucks” on his Ferrari 250 GTO is preposterous. The Wayne children would never spray paint such a childish phrase, IF we did vandalize an expensive vehicle our phrasing would be much wittier”
“The Wayne family would like to publicly state that we do not consider Timothy Drake to be the “smart one”. Drake is an absolute imbecile”
“I apologize for calling Timothy Drake an imbecile and am no longer able to use the phrase “the Wayne family” without first getting the statement approved by Dick Grayson”
Damian does have a tiktok where he posts videos of his pets, he’s v proud of the accounts popularity and credits it all to his pets being the best bois
The account is actually popular bc seeing the formal, sorta bratty Damian Wayne acting like a normal kid is adorable
The most popular video is one Dick took of Damian yelling at Tim and being super angry. He looks hella angry as he sits on the couch, puts his head on the armrest, and pouts when suddenly Titus comes into view. Titus starts nuzzling Damians face and Damian tries to ignore him. Suddenly Titus starts licking at Damian and pulling at his sleeve. Damian is shocked, trying not to laugh as he attempts to push Titus away. Instead of getting Titus away Damian ends up falling off the couch. The video ends with Damian giggling as Titus continues to lick his face.

Me, a Gen Z with no sense of self preservation, roasting tf out of Edward: It’s the daddy issues for me. It’s the inability to come up with a good riddle for me. It’s the unwarranted superiority complex for me.
The way I imagine the Gen Z of Gotham would come after Eddie is the same way that Daffy Duck took the piss out of Lex Luthor during the Superman/Looney Tunes crossover.

conner write-up:
i’m stealing partially from the young justice cartoon in order to create my own franken90ssuperboy.
clark kent’s dna was stolen by lex luthor, he mixed their dna up, yada yada. they were also fucking with genomorphs yada yada. but heres where the INTERESTING thing comes in.
the universe is vast, and the alien absorption of human cultureis very slow.
conner was mind control brain implanted with a vast array of alien information on other cultures, all kinds of science and inventions his adhd &dyslexic brain would never be able to put to paper, all of the genomorphs knowledge from across the stars.  but when it came to earth culture and superman, the things conner fixated on the most as he was telepathically conditioned to believe he would be the next superman in the event of superman’s death-----
the genomorphs were woefully, horribly inequipped to teach their young ward anything about the modern 21st century---and so project 13 would be filled with woefully inaccurate and out of date information about NINETIES TEEN CULTURE.
instead of conner coming out the tube with a host of anger issues, conner came with a host of 90s sitcom and movie references, that he would never truly be able to grow out of. dubbilex, his main mind controller / dad, would basically just be like ‘okay kon today we’re going to learn about---’ and kon’s brain would be like ‘NAH BUDDY TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS TYRA BANKS [EYES]’
the OG young justice---bart & tim--were the ones to break him out. conner would then go to hawaii with dubbilex and a very cute fluffy tiny clone of krypto---and set up a new life for himself, constantly then in contact with young justice & then teen titans. for a brief period conner would be homeless in between, tragically stranded between comic book events as superteens often are----clark would take him in & finally admit their bond, giving him the ‘human name’ conner, and introduce him to the kents. despite this ‘happy ending’... conner would die for an entire year before being brought back from the dead in the future, when he came back he would learn the full truth about his parentage....
but despite all this trauma, mawma, his love of the 90s would never change, and conner would never have to change his undercut bc! surprise! in the 2020s undercuts and leather jackets are cool again! (were they ever not... rip ugly teen titans conner LOL) 
in short, conner kent is a gen z-er that writes ‘wish this was my music when i was a teenager’ on mcr/backstreet boy videos.
conner is also a bit of a genderfuck non-binary bi boy and is totally cool about his sexuality and gender, just SUPER awkward about intimacy in general. he is EQUALLY as stupid around tim as he is around cassie! he is EQUALLY as much as an overcompensating, blushing fool, who still will sometimes ignore his significant others to watch professional cheerleading tiktoks and also america’s next top model reruns! he is a bit of an idiot and an asshole sometimes, but he is also insanely charming in his ditziness and outdated references. he has a good heart, and a bad head on his shoulders, and sometimes will drop everything to go party with the ravers, bc parties in space are just better : /
anyway, you wanna hear about his ttk?

Welp
I made an avatarsona for tma
Tumblr media
Does she border on a self-insert? Yes.
Am I ashamed of that? Well, slightly, but I won’t let it stop me!
If you can’t read my handwriting or the picture isn’t loading, here’s the relevant text [+ some things I forgot to include in the drawing]:
Name: Ariadne Woodland
Entity: the Vast
[Pronouns: she/her]
Gen Z energy, big on space aesthetic
[ace!! As for romantic relationships, not sure but also not considering it an important part of her life. She does like the idea of being in a relationship, but it’s not an immediate priority if you get what I’m saying]
Origin story: was @ roller coaster park w/ friends, went on scary drop coaster [for reference, look up Lex Luthor’s Drop of Doom at Magic mountain], would have been a victim if not for determination to live
Grew up in Los Angeles, ends up in London as part of a study abroad program (sponsored by the Fairchild Foundation)
Ends up working at Magnus Institute (not sure which department), probably to spy on Elias for Simon [possibly as part of deal for him to fund study abroad? Idk]
[Not that happy to have to feed people to an eldritch entity, but she likes being alive, and the vast powers are a nice bonus]
Can kinda teleport (basically, she falls into the Vast in one place and then falls back out in another. Works best when done outside where you can easily see the sky. Not sure yet on whether she can take others with her) [also, might be slightly supported by canon stuff? Idk, I just remember in Freefall, the ep where the sky eats someone’s son after his parachuting encounter with Simon, that in the post statement he mentions a parachute backpack turning up in someone’s yard miles away from the incident. Might have to check transcript to be sure but I thought it was a cool idea.]
Favorite ways to [feed the Vast] use avatar powers: targeting rollercoaster adrenaline junkies and sending them into the vast or making people get lost in big spaces (like IKEA)
Hope you guys like this!

Énouement
by WritingRose29
Énouement: The bittersweetness of having arrived in the future, seeing how things turned out, but not being able to tell your past self.
There were a lot of reasons not to move to Gotham. The Arkham asylum patients escaping weekly not even making the top five. In fact, the reasons for moving to Gotham were minuscule compared to the reasons NOT to move. However, Ash was a simple woman. Just one acceptance letter to attend the prestigious Gotham University with a full scholarship, of course, she is in. Sure, her friends and family think she is crazy about that. Guess that means she will fit right in.

Sometimes life just feels so stopped......
In such fast-moving world, so many changes in so little time. We are Gen-Z, so we were born in this never stopping technological dystopia (utopia, depending on your perspective). Metaverse, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, AI, Blockchain, Web3, AR and countless other extremely powerful technologies hanging over our heads. 14-year-old kids doing start-ups having more skills than I could ever imagine when I was that age, maybe it was lack of awareness but, I mean what the hell!!!! I feel like a left out older person, living on the sideline who just sits and sees the world progress for better or worse.
Elon Musk supposed "Techno king" of our age, crusader of Mars, damn!!! This person has achieved so much. I haven't seen so much commitment anywhere near me. He feels like Lex Luthor without Superman (he must have been good without all jealousy and sh*t). [PS: This was written before the twitter 'thing']
While the world was (I mean it still is) in pandemic, the other world didn't stop. In this almost two-year experience, I flunked my courses, what I did learn was, that how far behind I am, how less aware I am, (Descending progressively into a major existential crisis).
We are descending into a chronic global crisis (Global warming and all sh*t around it) from a short-term global crisis. And we still have a place for the smallest of pettiness. I was a IIT-JEE aspirant, and I was competing with 20 lakh other students for not even the top 100 colleges in the world. But even so, level of competition is so high, and especially when it is ever rising. I've seen people aiming all the same CSE at IIT Bombay. Naha!!! Nothing less "we want to become engineer and work for a MNC", I guess, that's sort of a dream to raise one's social and economic status. But I am tired of judging myself and others on this erratic standard.
I am not ranting I mean I have my utmost respect for their dedication but all of it seems like going to vain. I don't see a purpose ahead of me and my ingenuity is as nugatory as the vast cosmos around us.
