Okay but consider. This extends into My street. (I'm trying for a rewrite that ties them together a bit better but IDK) Garroth doesn't understand why his baby brother dislikes him so much. Zane(and an OC that I was originally gonna use for an MCD rewrite) remember and/or lived through it, still debating that. So Zane is angry and bitter about the MCD stuff but also loves this reincarnation who is so much like but not quite like his first.
Garroth and Laurance both are protective and love Aph but not like romantically because I hate writing love triangle and Aarmau is just easier to write for me. Aph feels instantly safer any moment her boys walk into the room. Like she and Aaron will be arguing and Garroth will come to visit and she'll instantly feel so much safer. I'm not insinuating that Aaron is abusive, just Irene's feedback for Shad.
aphmau and her boys are SO IMPORTANT TO ME
garroth who slowly finds himself guarding outside aphmau’s house late at night, overcome with a bone-deep fear that something will happen to her or her sons and he won’t be there to protect them. garroth who, immediately upon finding out zane is trying to wed her, sends a letter back with raven to dale and asks them to up defenses around her home for when they return from the eastern wolf tribe’s village.
laurence who will genuinely become standoff-ish when aphmau has conversations with strangers, the overwhelming feeling of alertness flooding through him as he studies every single action they make in case he needs to step in. laurence who stays up to listen to her breathing when they’re camping out, letting it ground him, a reminder that the shadow knights could not make him take away what is most important to him.
dante who will tease and scold garroth and laurence all he wants about how jealous and dumb (/aff) they are with aphmau but is somehow worse then both of them, hovering around her the entire time she wanders phoenix drop and he’s on duty. dante who is shorter than her, but will immediately takes a step in front of her and puff up the second anyone even remotely gives him the idea he needs to.
YJ has completely given up missions because Tim had gone ‘bad feeling’ randomly while halfway there. An hour later, when they were supposed to be inside, the building went up in flames. No one made it out.
It's my hc that the Bats are freaky good with their intuition, and it drives the JL mad. Why? Because Batman gets cranky if someone deviates from the plan and his lectures last for 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴. On the flip side, he or the Birds will suddenly freeze, stare at seemingly nothing, and then force everyone to take long detours out of nowhere. When asked what the hell is going on, all they say is they "got a feeling."
Most of the JL is comprised of metahumans or nonhumans so they straight up don't understand what is going on. The non-metahumans also don't understand why the Bats trust their gut instict so much.
I hc that the Bats trust their feeling so well because Bruce taught them to be more observant than the rest of the population, and because of some specific training of Bruce's. He learned it before he became Batman.
Out of all the bats, Jason is the best with his intuition because of his training with All Caste.
After Jason, Cass is the best with feeling out people. It's not because she can read their intentions through their body language. It's a proven instict based on that one guy she didn't like 3 years before they committed their first major crime.
Dick is the best at situational intuition and "reading a room." If he suddenly tenses, the Bats trust that instinct for trouble.
Tim has the best foreboding instinct because he's dealt with so much stupid shit that it might as well be a 6th sense.
I'm stealing this. Thank you. These all shall be used in my rewrite.
Acts like he’ll kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll
People thinks he’s smart, but it’s just because he’s really quiet
He’s actually really fucking dumb /affectionate
Has a very weezy laugh
He/she/they, though most people use he
(Considering having him FTM He/Him but I can’t decide)
Didn’t really know much about gender and sexuality and stuff instill his sister came out as lesbian and she gave him a crash course
Used to struggle with internalized homophobia thanks to her dad being an ass but is now very comfortable in his own skin
Love language is physical touch and is chronically touch deprived, especially due to their years of isolation (just like me fr)
Intimidating when you first meet him, but I can guarantee you he’s secretly shitting his pants out of fear
A.K.A Social Anxiety Prime
RBF
Is such a worry wart, especially towards Zane and Aphmau
Used to have consistent nightmares, but ever since sharing a bed with Zane and Aphmau, they’ve pretty much stopped
On top of physical touch, he likes to do small acts of service
If either of his partners have a nightmare, she holds them through it and wakes up early the next day so that way they wake up to hot cocoa with cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract
His favorite food is anything with Cinnamon!
Acts like a cinnamon roll, will actually kill you
“Excuse me they asked for no pickles”
A plus sized queen!
She/Her but prefers masculine descriptors i.e. sir, Mr, boyfriend (looks pointedly at her being called the lord of phoenix drop rather than the lady)
Is super sweet and helpful unless you tick her off or mess with friends, at that point, may God bless your soul
Love language is acts of service and gift giving!!
This is super evident in MCD and it peaks through in Mystreet as well! So that definitely stays
Has a tendency to give too much and burn herself out
Anytime she finds a cool rock she has to keep it
Her giving you a rock is a big deal! It means she cares a lot, enough to give it away
Due to growing up poor she has a tendency to stock up on non perishable food and stress if they don’t have enough
Definitely had a crush on Katelyn when they were younger, it passed with time though
Is really smart common sense wise, really into logic puzzles and stuff
She knows everything. Your secret? I think you mean our secret.
Less so with book smarts but give her time and let her put what she needs to know in song form and she’s got it
ADHD
How does she learn these secrets? Well that’s between her and God
Her favorite food is Mangos and Mochi anything!
Looks like he’ll kill you, and depending on the day, he’ll either kill you or actually be a cinnamon roll
Was raised with ye old fashioned toxic masculinity drilled into his head by Garte leaving him really insecure about his gender and gender expression
Around college, he started coming more into his own and wearing makeup out and about (all of this up to now is p much cannon btw)
The divergence come when he also starts experimenting in other ways to like sometimes wearing skirts and the occasional dress
It still takes years for them to stop bringing an extra pair of more masculine clothes with him in case he gets too stressed or sees someone in public
They/He but doesn’t mind the occasional she
Asexual
While he really loves the colors pastel pink and purple, he still mainly wears black with those as accents
Has a backpack/bag they take EVERYWHERE
Going out? Take the bag. Going on a trip? Take the bag. Leaving the room? Take the bag.

Has Autism
MLP Special Interest
Has emotional support Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle figurines in their bag (they remind him of Aaron and Aphmau respectively)
Mainly does vocal Stims but is not immune to hand flap propaganda
Sensory adverse (that’s what the point of the mask usually is)
Loves his mom very much, even if she can be a bit loud
Daddy issues, him and Aaron bond over this
His love language is quality time and gift giving (they regularly steal one of their father’s credit cards) (Garte has barely noticed)
Is the type to quietly sit beside or across from one of his partners when their stressed, maybe give them one of his hands and be a quiet comfort as he scrolls on the Internet, showing them cat videos/my little pony art
That or be like “You’re sad” throw a change of clothes at them and say “Get up we’re going to Olive Garden, don’t worry I’m paying”
Notices when his friends/partners look at something too long and you can bet your bippy that you’ll be receiving that during your next birthday/Christmas or maybe just tomorrow if he can’t wait
Honestly very book smart, he just doesn’t mention it
Has a PHD, though no one but Aphmau knows of what, the whole friend group have a betting pool on what it is and who will find out first (Aphmau didn’t count, she knows everything)
Loves hyperpop
Favorite Food is the pink Monster Energy Drink, dw that that’s not actually food
Shout out to @p0ssym1lker for my new thirst of super tall jazz and "i fight like a Iike a rabid badger danny". didn't know I needed this in my life but here we are.
The scene for my Funsized and Feral prompt yesterday. This one is long y'all. The writing goblin would not let go.
I might make a few more under the same AU. There was far more world building in this than i intended. Meh. We will see.
I dont know how to link past posts so if someone knows please help.
----------------------------------------------
Jason could confidently say that Dead End Cafe was his new favorite place to eat.
The place was quirky, the small family that owned even more so, but oddly enough, it managed to fit into the little nook in Crime Ally without seeming out of place.
The shop and family had popped up out of nowhere about a year and a half ago. Bought out a whole block of crime ally that had been condemned for god knows how long (a two story shop, with two small buildings behind it.) And they had set up FAST.
Like big money fast.
Suddenly there was a nice little cartoony ghost theme Cafe with a house above and two small warehouses behind it with unknown contents. It screamed suspicious.
Jason had dug into the purchase and found it was infact, big money, two different sources. The head scratcher was that it was legitimate big money. The area had been bought under three names:
Daniel J. Manson-Foley-Fenton
Samantha A. Manson-Foley-Fenton
Tucker R. Manson-Foley-Fenton
It was clean. All of it. Apparently, a group of three high-school sweethearts, two of which were heirs to some pretty wealthy families) had decided that they were gonna move to Gotham and open a quaint little cafe in Crime Ally..... right.
He send a request to Tim to dig a bit deeper(fucker owed him a favour). Then proceeded to stake out the place as both Red hood and Jason.
Nothing. Not a damn thing. Apparently, the two warehouses were a greenhouse and a makeshift garage. He had searched all the electronic files (with Tim AND Barbara help!) Still nothing.
Samantha apparently liked to garden enough that she was willing to help feed all of Crime ally with it.
Tucker on the other hand, doubled as both a video game designer and someone who Timmy himself said he wanted in Wayne Inc. R&D (His current project was a prosthetic arm that was supposed to be better then anything on the market for people who lived in harsh environments? Notes about getting someone nicknamed Frostbite to help test them?)
The only odd thing that all three of them could find was that apparently, Daniel's parents believed they were ghost hunters. After digging further, Tim found that the whole town was ghost themed. (A tourist trap, which honestly explained the cafe theme). They did, however, make a large sum of money through patented inventions.
Honestly, so long as they were not doing anything in supervillain territory, Jason didn't care what they wasted their money on.
In a last ditch effort to find something, ANYTHING at this point. (This was actually starting to bug him, even the food they tested was clean, like "cleaner then you find in most of Gothams fast food places Jason" clean... he did not need that info replacement thanks.)
He evently caved and went inside the Cafe as Jason Todd.
The inside of the Cafe was just as weird as the rest of it. A mix of techno, Gothic punk, and peppy cartoon ghost that just... worked?
It was nice honestly, it was homey, but had a fun theme. It was the type of Cafe you looked for in the higher end of Gotham when you acted something different but still "upscale".
It should have felt out of place. But it didn't. The room was inviting, the food smelt delicious, there was a reading corner, the walls with hanging plants. It was nice. Too nice. Nice things like this didn't survive in Crime Ally. Jason knew that better them most.
Deep in thought, Jason nearly had a heart attack when a young voice spoke up.
"You smell funny"
Jason blinked before look down. Yep, that was a small child. A small three maybe four year old child who looked like a tiny female version of one Daniel M.F. Fenton.
"Um what?" Jason asked slightly thrown. Where had she come from?
The small girl barely came past Jason's knee but she still looked him dead in the eye before stating innocently,
"You smell funny, you're like the stinky piles that Cujo make in the yard."
Jason was pretty sure he just got told he's a peice of shit.
"ELLIE LILITH" a voice rang out.
Speak of the devil, Jason watched as Daniel rounded the counter walking quickly up to his.. daughter? (There had not been a kid mentioned in his files)
"You apologize right this second young lady, that was very rude" Daniel scolded.
"But mama it's true, like Cujo" EIlie protested.
(Maybe not a he) Jason thought as he watched the pair with an odd sense of bewildered amusement.
"Cujo" he asked looking at Daniel.
The man? looked mortified "our dog" was the reply before turning back to further scold the girl.
Jason definitely just got called a peice of shit.
(Well damn) he thought watching the back inforth between parent and daughter (kid might make a Gothamite after all)
in the end Ellie had given a half hearted apology about "sorry for calling the stinky man funny" before running off leaving Jason to talk with a horrified Daniel "please call me danny and our last name is a mouthfull" Fenton.
Apparently he was infact he/him being called mama was a thing form thier home town. Danny said he was cool with it so jason shrugged and accepted as another family quirk.
Jason had left the cafe that day with mixed feelings. Apparently, three highschool sweet hearts really had set up a quaint cafe in Crime Ally.... huh.
It was a nice place one Jason would like to go back to. But as stated earlier, nice places didn't last long in crime ally. The cafe would most likely be packed up and gone in a month.
The cafe was not gone in a month.
Or two, or three. By month four crime ally had slowly started to accept Dead End cafe as a neutral area similar to Dr. Leslie's clinic. They gave good food at prices that everyone was aware would run a normal business into the ground and treated everyone who came in like family. (It was almost scary how Danny never seemed to forget a name)
By month five Jason gave the kids that ran in his circles the ok to trust the Fentons. By month eight Dead End was declared off limits for robbery and gang fights. (petty crime may run rampant in gotham but even the roughest of gothamites won't mess with a place that gives freely without discrimination or a risk of cops).
By the first year, most of the gangs and small time thugs had accepted the Fentons as theirs and kept an eye out. They may not be able to stop the big names, but like hell thier favorite cafe was getting robbed by some upstart.
Jason can clearly remember sitting in his favorite spot with a book a little after the one year mark when one of the regulars had stopped Tucker. The whole cafe had seemed to hush as the mood in the cafe shifted.
"Look" said the guy (Jason was pretty sure he recently he had recently been working for Penguin) " it been bugging quite a few of us recently and we were hoping to talk with the two of you's" he raised his chin towards Sam who was also on the floor, (a rare day both Danny and Ellie were not in the shop).
"We know the two of you's can handle yourselves."
(Understatement, Tucker was built like Jason and was a good three inches taller with a mean right hook. Sam had been jumped a few times before the off limits and the damage she left was actully more the the average bat.)
"But more often then not its just your boy and your ankle bitter here. (Ellie has, in fact, a bit four different peoples ankles) "he's a real sweetheart that one, but fight wise he looks like a stiff wind would push him over." Jason could see a few others in the cafe nodding along. "Me and a few of the others have been doing some rounds when we can but it's not hard to see that the two of you are not on the floor often. We know you both do hard work at those shops of your, we appreciate it really, but it also leave a large amount of time when they aren't protected. It's practically an invitation to bastards looking for a quick buck." The man looked from both Tucker to Sam then back to Tucker. "We's was hoping to set up a chart with you when you won't be here. It won't be perfect but alot of us would feel alot better if Ma Fenton wasn't by himself so often."
Ma Fenton. It had been a bit odd for some of the people to get used to the fact that Danny was mama, and Sam was Papa. However, after they got used to it, it seemed to catch. Because unintentionally, Danny had become a parental figure to alot of people. He had a presence that made you feel safe and content. You needed advice? young or old danny had an ear ready and a plate of hot food. He was almost a foot smaller then both his partners, sweet and honestly not hard on the eyes. More then a few flirted him in passing (Jason was pretty sure that the ankles Ellie targeted were not random.... good on the brat.)
Danny was bright. Way to bright for Gotham. Jason might start swinging by at different times as well.
Jason had been about offer up his help with making a schedule when Tucker spoke up.
"Wow, um, so that's really thoughtful of you guys and by all means if it makes you guys feel better go for it." Tucker looked like he was struggling to find words glancing at an amused Sam. "There seems to have been a small misunderstanding" she said taking over.
"You see" Sam said grinning " it might not be Gotham but Amity Park had a unwritten rules of its own." Sam slowly moved towards the man that had stopped Tucker, all eyes in the cafe following. "Don't wander the graveyards." Step. "Don't go into the corn fields alone" Step. "Some of them were just for fun, don't sit under the willow tree in center park on a full moon". Sam stopped in front of the man, the room absolutely charged with tension despite how ridiculous the "rules" sounded.
"There were three rules that were made the day the Fentons set up shop in Amity. They were jokes when they first started but everyone and their dog new them as law by the time we moved here."
Sam's voice lost it's hard edge as she started to list. "One, if you need a hand, get a Fenton. There is no family in Amity more willing to help then the Fentons". The Room lot some of its tension as Sam huffed a laugh. " these rules are not limited to Amity by the way". The man (Jason really should get a name) rolled his eyes but still nodded in agreement.
"Two" Sam's soft smile became a mean looking smirk. "Don't not ever, and I mean ever. fuck with an angry Fenton". Sam's smirk seemed to grow as the disbelief showed on the faces around her.
"I'm serious" she had said. "The number of times Tucker and I had to drag Danny away from a fight because someone threated one of us. Angry Fentons can be down right feral. The last place you want to be is in-between an angry Fenton and thier target."
Sam shook her head as she grabbed the empty dishes off the table, walking to the back. "Make a schedule if you wish, Tucker and I will help as best we can. But Danny isn't nearly as helpless as he seems."
"What's the last one" a different regular called out. Sam stopped, turning to face them. "Last one of what"? She asked.
"You said there were three rules, what's the third?" They asked.
Sam just shook her head before turning back to the kitchen. "Sorry" she called back. "But that one is an Amity only rule"
They had set up a schedule.
It was a good one. The guys on the list had joked it was more like a scheduled break time then a guard duty. The few small time thugs that didn't care about the off limits rule weren't stupid enough to attack with the number of known fighters they had rotating through.
Key words being small time thugs.
Almost a year and a half on the dot Jason could admit they may have miscalculated and Sam may have been pretty spot-fucking-on about calling her husband "feral".
The cafe has been packed. It was mid lunch rush on a cold day. Jason sat in his usual spot, a now four year old ankle bitter to his left. (What not stinky today? Your getting better)
It started with a loud bang, the sound cutting over top of the crowded sounds. The clanging of pots hitting the ground caused the cafe to quite down. others starting to notice something was wrong, several people rising to take a look.
A shrill scream silenced the cafe completely, multiple people drawing weapons. Jason pulled Ellie to his other side shielding her as the sounds of a fight started up. (The back!! they didn't have anyone guarding the back today). Jason did his best to take control of the situation without exposing Ellie.
"You three get in a close as you can, don't shoot until you know you won't hit Danny, the rest of you guard those without a weapon. If you don't have a weapon get the hell against the wall and the fuck out of the way!"
People were scrambling to get to thier spots as the three Jason had first ordered were already at the kitchen door. Henry (Jason had learned the names of the guys he had on shift) pushed open the door, gun at the ready, only to be pushed right out of the way as the God damn fucking JOKER of all people pushed past him, around the counter and into the room.
There was a moment of horrified silence as everyone registered who was in the room.
Jason was panicked. The green that he had never felt in the cafe before started to rise. Taking in the Joker as he heaved for breath looking far more deranged than standard. Fuck Bruce, Fuck the no kill rule, if the Joker had hurt Danny he was DEAD.
Jason prepared to shoot as quiet as he could. The Joker wasn't paying attention to him yet, but the sound of a cocking gun would definitely get it. (He shouldn't have brought his old single shot pistol. What was he thinking?!) He could not risk Ellie behind him. He could do this. He just had to be quick, cock the pistol, aim, fire.
Jason took a breath, eyes green and locked on the Joker. Breathing out he whipped the gun up, cocking it with his other hand, only to freeze as unholy SHRIEK sounded as the kitchen door SLAMMED open.
Danny M.other F.ucking Fenton, in all his 5'1" glory, stood at the kitchen door cast-iron frying pan in hand, glaring at the Joker with a force that made the worst of Bruce's batglares look tame. In the time it took Jason to blink, Danny had thrown himself up onto, and off the counter, into the Joker, in what Jason swears was was the most beautifully executed fully body flying tackle he has ever seen.
What followed after that can only be described as a fight between two rabid badgers.
There was hair pulling, scratching, biting,(Jason now knew where Ellie got THAT from) at one point in the fight a few poor schmucks had actually unfrozen long enough to attempt to pull Danny away from the crazy mass murderer, only to be hissed at. Honest to God hissed at.
It was wild, Danny at one point had the Joker pinned and was just going town. (for someone so small he had a nasty looking punch.) He counted at least two chairs being thrown, three tables, and one cup. Danny even took a whole chunk of hair out. (It was still there on the floor, no one wanted to touch it.)
The fight didn't end, so much as move on when the Joker finally managed to throw Danny off long enough for him to run. He actually ran. away. from DANNY. The same Danny who after getting his footing saw the fucking JOKER running away. Scooped up his frying pan and ran AFTER him.
No one in the cafe moved. No one knew what do. They had seen fights ok. They had seen alot of fights, but the level of absolute FERAL that they just witnessed was a new level. Even more then that people were trying to align the sweet,happy, looks like he couldn't hurt a fly Danny with the I maybe possessed by a demon with rabies Danny that just took a literal bite out of the Joker.
They stayed frozen until Danny came back to the cafe. Smiling like he did normally everyday, Danny had taken one look around the cafe, apologized for the scare, and asked if there was "anyone willing to help him move the four men in the kitchen that defiantly need medical attention out" and "not to worry about the blood stains he would deal with those after he changed."
Jason himself was still partly dazed when Ellie spoke up curiously from behind him. "Mama did you kill the mean clown man?"
Jason (and everyone else in the cafe) turned to look at Danny.
Danny who had stopped at the bottom of the stairs leading to the house.
Danny who's hair was a mess, clothes rumpled and torn.
Danny, who's "I'm not small im fun-sized" apron, was splattered with red, and who's favorite frying pan matched.
Danny, who smiled back at them and made the same sentence that normally brought relief, sound like a threat.
"He'll live".
Well that was way longer then I meant it to be. Have you actual chapter? At 3am? cause I could not stop writing? Sorry for any mistakes but i am to tired to catch any more xD good night all!
So Jaskier, completely shitfaced, is sitting somewhere on the dirty floor near a tavern in Oxenfurt, when he meets Vesemir for the first time.
He instantly recognizes the old witcher and loudly calls him over, something along the lines of "Hey! Hey you- you, wolf! Papa wolf! Yeah, come on, I need to have a word with you about your son. The- the stupid one-"
Vesemir is obviously not amused, but he comes over nonetheless because for some reason that drunk kid knows him.
Then, Jaskier proceeds to ramble on about Geralt and it gets very close to trash talk, but Vesemir keeps his cool and reads in between the lines. What he finds out is this: Geralt - who up to this point had been his favorite - had somehow managed to break this poor kid's heart, not once, not twice but "at least five times". Said kid had apparently "spent more than half of his life" following his son like a lost puppy. He mumbles something about elves and djinns and then tells this elaborate tale of a golden dragon. "And then he left me on a fucking mountain!" Vesemir for his part would have not believed any of this, if the name Yennefer hadn't fallen. Many of the unreasonable things Geralt does are related to Yennefer.
The old witcher then takes a closer look at the sod on the floor and oh yes, didn't Geralt say something about a bard?
Then suddenly the kid stops mid sentence as if remembering something important. He waves at one of the other young men and loudly asks "Oi Mikael, is there- is there class tomorrow!?" Vesemir doesn't show it but he's kind of shocked. The drunk kid is clearly a student at the Academy, way too young to be traveling with a witcher. What ln earth is Geralt thinking?!
When the other man, for some reason looking as shocked as Vesemir feels, answers the kid's question with "yes", the bardling seems to sober up by a lot. He staggers up, wishes Vesemir a good night and starts to stumble towards Oxenfurt Academy, quickly followed by the other student.
The last thing Vesemir hears before they walk out of side is how the student asks the bard "Does that mean we won't have to write that test tomorrow, professor?"
Professor. Vesemir needs a break.
Alfred: Injury report?
26-year-old Bruce: All the blood is on the inside?
Alfred:
Some years down the road
Bruce: Injury report?
Tim: I left no DNA behind.
Cass: I can still beat the rest of you.
Jason: Haven’t died again.
Dick: No bones are visible from the outside.
Damian: I won.
Duke: I think I discovered a new power.
Steph: You’re not my dad.
Bruce:
Bruce:
Alfred: And how *is* Karma doing today, Master Bruce?
He does it in front of other people and Clown SCREECHES at the top of his lungs. People assume Brandy is killing him but it’s the other way around.
Something something Branzy's hands being cold because of how often he dies and Clown's being warm and and and they hold hands all the time. Branzy is just constant leeching off of his warmth and he 100% goes to hold Clown's hands with his cold ass fingers and Clown SCREAMS ...I am so normal !!
Bart, zooming over: hey Tim??
Tim: yes Impulse?
Bart: Supervoy started another fire in your lab~
Tim, exhaling calmly: alright. Take me to him.
Homophobe: You're going to HELL!!
Tim: I was already going to hell, GRETCHEN
Tim: I killed 1,000 people.
Tim, calling out into the air: Plan Besh(we’re going villain)!
Kon, turning to the others: Plan Besh.
Bart, cheering loudly: he’ll yeah! This’ll be fun!
Cassie, calling Anita with a smirk: let’s take over the world boys.
Bruce: Kon-el, Red Robin has gone rogue. We require assistance apprehending him.
Kon: Is it mind control?
Bruce: I-
Kon: Or like, a body swap? Manipulation? Has he been threatened?
Bruce: Well-
Kon: Or is it of his own free will?
Bruce: Does that matter?
Kon: Duh. Young Justice is ride and die, man.
Bruce: ...I believe the phrase is 'ride or die'
Kon: No, I don't think so.
Bruce, yelling at everyone for what happened during a mission: and Tim-
Tim, blinks rapidly and ducks his head, shoulders shaking:
Bruce, goes completely still: it’s alright Tim. Go shower and get to bed.
Tim, nods once and walks away slowly:
Everyone: What the FUCK?!
I like to think that Tim has a reputation for being a crybaby amongst the batfam. Like, he will tear up in a second. Jason, Damian and Stephanie are constantly making fun of him for it. What no one has figured out yet is that Tim realized years ago that Bruce would stop lecturing him and turned into worried dad mode as soon as the crocodile tears appear.
I would totally write this. Actually, I think I will. I'm gonna write this after watching the thing. I want to watch it and then write it so I know what's going on and so I can infantilize Alex properly in my mind to write it properly.
More stuff has been thought up for the forgotten ending via discord rambling- Mostly around the fact lankmann lives-
aka- lankmann and his giant savior complex-
basically- in the forgotten ending- alex assumed they had killed lankmann- but they hadn't but lankmann- FULLY BELIEVES- alex meant to not kill him- that alex didn't want him dead-
lankmann believes the alex was completely forced into the events of the sitcom- completely removing all of alex's agency and pretty much infantilizing them-
this also has a effect on eastridge- alex is viewed as a martyr and people who weren't around while alex was there fully think they had to be younger- like- 13-17
Overtime- lankmann even begins the believe this- "alex was a child working their first internship- they were a child dragged into this by monsters" why would he believe anything else? those old reports and files? must be wrong- must have gotten altered somehow- alex was a child- why would he believe anything else?
