Marks and Rec: Misc #2477

(You...r skin to wear like a suit; merry crisis.) (Dialogue from "All I Want for Christmas Is You.")

Inspired by I Turn to You song cus I was listening to it while thinking of a Batfamily prompt entry and here it is:

I Turn To Bruce, To Dad/Father

For a shield from the storm - Tim

Timothy Drake was neglected by Janet and Jack Drake. Tim rarely spent his time in his own house as he went to stalk the Bats, taking photographs with his precious camera. So, when he discovered the identities of Batman and Robin, and the death of Robin happened, he was able to convince Batman that he needed a Robin and that he, Timothy Drake, was the right choice. When he had rough nights with his parents, Tim often found himself running to the Wayne Manor. To Alfred Pennyworth. To Dick Grayson. To Bruce Wayne.

When Janet and Jack were angered by how much Tim was spending time with the Waynes, Bruce Wayne came to the rescue - he explained that they were missing on Tim's intelligence, creativeness and talents. He mentioned how they were poorly treating the kid and that's not how parents should raise a child ever. When Janet and Jack faced their tragic fates, Bruce was more than willing to take Tim in the family.

Every time Bruce embraces Tim, he feels like he could withstand anything. Bruce Wayne is a greater man, even more so than his own dad could ever be.

For a love to keep me safe and warm - Damian

Damian al Ghul Wayne was the heir to the League of Shadows ; the rightful heir of the Demon's throne. As a young child, Damian only knew how to become a soldier - to fight and concur. He never knew the true meaning of love. Sure, his Mother, Talia, would give him assurances and words of appreciation, but he never truly felt it. And from his Grandfather, well, he only saw his Grandson as a tool that he should train so he can lead the League at the rightful age.

Damian only felt true love when he met his Father, Bruce Wayne. He raised Damian the right way a Father should. And even when he was trained as Robin, he didn't feel the weight of it as a soldier or merely a sidekick of the Great Batman. Damian actually loves being Robin and Batman loves Robin. Bruce allows him the right ways a child his age should live life - a child who goes to the carnival with his friends, a child who watches movies with his siblings on the weekends when homework was done, a child who enjoys sweets every now and then, and a child who adopts animals without being judged. But mostly especially, a child who deserves to be called "Son" with a few forehead kisses and "I love you" s.

For the strength to be strong - Dick

Richard Grayson was initially scared when the famous billionaire, Bruce Wayne, took him in as a ward. When he had frequent nightmares of his parents' death, he was surprised to see Bruce by his bedside, ready to comfort Dick until he fell back to sleep. When he was thoroughly comfortable, Dick often found himself on Bruce's bed, who whole heartedly hugged him and told him how strong Dick is and that nightmares only test a strong person.

Dick was eventually trained by Bruce, became Robin and the sidekick of Batman. Dick was hesitant at first to continue being Robin as he was still learning to fight, scared of the villains. Bruce assured him, "Chum, no one is as capable as you are. You are very strong, even stronger than me when I was your age." He was also given the choice to discontinue being Robin, but Dick found his footing and enjoyed being Robin.

Dick grew up to be his own leader and found the Teen Titans which became the Titans. But Dick realizes that no matter how much he has grown, he always finds himself back to the Manor, back to Bruce's arms asking for support. He asks for advice on how he should run a group like Bruce being a leader of the Justice League. He carries Bruce's words in his leadership. But even when he isn't asking for advice, Dick still finds himself going back to Bruce, to Dad, finding strength like he was a kid again because a son always looks for the strength of his dad.

For the will to carry on - Jason

Jason Todd had a rough childhood. He lived at Crime Alley where crime was always present. He needed money and so in any way possible to get that, Jason would try. When he stumbled into the Batmobile to sell its tires and the Batman found him, his life changed.

He was healthy, happy and loved when Bruce Wayne took him in. Most especially, he adored being Robin. He was free. But a tragedy happened and he died... Years after, he came back to life. The dead walking among the living. Years of being a teen taken away from him. Robin taken away from him. Bruce was taken away from him.

But now he's the famous, crime lord, Red Hood. He's slowly patching things up with Bruce. And sometimes when the fury of the Lazarus Pit finds its way back to his system, triggering pain and rage, he sometimes thinks maybe it was for the best if he wasn't resurrected. But Bruce always remains hopeful and gives him reasons to love life, that this was just another challenge for him to appreciate life. So he pushes forward. When he stumbles back slightly, Bruce lifts him up and guides him to the right path. And when Jason is surrounded by his family in his home at the Manor, he thinks, "I'm glad I'm alive."

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"

Pitch to Jack Frost

How long could we be a sad song 'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life? I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier

“Floyd, could you sing to me?”

The big brother looked up from where he was tucking the blanket under Branch’s feet. “Sure thing,” he said with a light smile.  “What would you like to hear? A lullaby?”

“I don’t know,” Branch mumbled as he nestled his head into the pillow. “You choose.”

Floyd could still see a crease of worry between his baby brother’s brows. He softly brushed a thumb over it in a silent reassurance that everything was going to be okay before he turned around to reach for their dad’s old guitar.

I think Floyd would often sing to Branch to get him to fall asleep, usually the songs and lullabies their parents sang when the older four were still little.

I know in the movie it seemed like they all left right after their fight, but I like to imagine that they just stormed off to cool off and that they actually left in the following days. And that this was the last song Floyd sang for Branch that night. :')

Both Sides Now (specifically this cover by Voncken) Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They snow and rain on everyone So many things I would've done But clouds got in the way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's clouds’ illusions, I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancin' way you feel When every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughin' as you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions, I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now my friends, they’re acting strange They shake their heads, and say I've changed Well, something's lost, but something's gained In living life each day I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down And give and take And win and lose, and still somehow It's life's illusions, I recall I really don't know life... I really don't know life at all

New favorite minsang moment just dropped!!

okay so steph is definitely a music purist?

we can all agree on that right? like she's a 'said she was born in the wrong generation in middle school' fleetwood mac, david bowie, the mamas & the papas, niche modern indie artists and also chappell roan kind of music listener. obviously. but.... i dont think we've really considered pete's music taste?

pete, who is a science, left-brained kind of kid, so he probably does not actively go out to look for music and is instead just provided music by the people around him?

pete whose older brother is theodore spankoffski and so his earliest and most fond and nostalgic music influences from his childhood would have come directly from ted's cd collection???

basically what im saying is peter spankoffski has the most trashy, early 00's ke$ha, black eyed peas my humps era, all american rejects ass music taste in the world

that boy had bowling for soup's 1985 memorized at age four, his guilty pleasure music is hollywood undead's everywhere i go, ted did his first decent person move in years when pete came out as trans as a kid and stopped listening to grow a pear by ke$ha and pete forcibly made him play it because it's a bop

and then his only friends are a weeb and a theatre kid.

steph gives him the aux cord on a date to be nice, as a sign of trust, and is blasted in the face with the most uncurated mess of j-pop, sondheim, weezer, and like... owl city's fireflies and that's just a fact

can i stand in your light, just for a while?

finally finished this. look at him yearn
