Having to stop my Dick and Damian art scroll to say that it annoys me when Jason stans always portray him as the one having to put money in the swear jar when, canonically, Dick is the one who swore on the phone to Alfred and then had to pay up for it.
okay AU where when Bruce takes Jason in, instead of paying money for a swear jar, they do emotional statements instead (because Bruce is like a gazillionare and saying something like “I criticize you because I love you and am worried about you getting hurt” is so much more painful than putting a full thousand in the swear jar)
Anyways, this is the story of how Bruce stubbing his broken toe and yelling “FUCK” loud enough to rattle the manor windows saves Jason from dying in Ethiopia
(Also the emotional swear jar tm saves them so many conflicts and hurt in the future no I don’t make the rules)
another ‘slice of life showing how the batfam changes over time’ idea. the rules for the Swear Jar.
it starts out when Bruce brings home Dick, and it’s relatively tame. the rules added on over time get more and more specific, bizarre, and some are so impressively detailed it’s like ‘what the hell happened to cause this’.
bonus points for being accompanied by a snapshot of the swear jar under each condition, from being full of a few bills when Dick’s there, to cobwebs after Jason’s gone, to the jar being replaced by a bigger and bigger jar with more and more kids until finally it’s just a piece of paper with a bank account number on it and a stack of checks underneath.
Wait, swear jar? Now I have to know
Who 'tips' the swear jar the most? Who does it the least?
Twitch: I mean, it’s not really a consistent thing, especially since they usually use it to set little miniature goals, so if it’s something we like, then it only encourages us, honestly. So… a scolding and week or so without video games is more likely selection.
Jawbreaker: Yeah… they all get heavy into it. I prefer to stay out of it.
Twitch: It’s a hard tie between Thrash and Hashtag. They’re just the two who swear the most in front of mom and dad.
Jawbreaker: Ironically, Nightshade tips less than you do, Twitch…
Twitch: yeah, them and Tarantulas have an unspoken agreement that they don’t rat each other out for swearing. Mom and dad have to be there to catch them do it, and they can usually keep their lips sealed for the short amount of time they’re in the bunker.
Twitch: but they also don’t rat on us, either, so… it’s a fair trade.
Jawbreaker: oh.
Twitch: so, in summary, yeah we have a swear jar, but it’s not the most consistent thing in the world, Thrash and Hashtag swear and tip a lot, and Nightshade and Tarantulas swear a little too but they don’t do it front of mom and dad and don’t tattle on us when we do it.

The title says it all here. Basically a small drabble I wrote where Solomon has teamed up with Zeus to place a child lock on Billy's speaking privileges.
