Idk if anyone else remembers, but Batman canonically carries around Bat-cookies according to the Batman/Scooby-Doo crossover.
I LOVE to think Batman carries them around as snacks for Robin. I love it even more to think he uses said cookies to bribe Robin into good behavior in a similar fashion to Scooby Snacks.
Little Dick Grayson: I don't wanna go to some stupid Gala! U can't make me!
Bruce, in desperation: would u do it for a bat-cookie?
Dick: woah! Bat-shaped! Cool!
Bruce: andddd you can have another one after the party
Dick, mouth full of cookie: okay :)
Bruce, internally: thank fuck a parenting hack that works
Batman: stop! Don't kill him!
Red Hood: and why do I give a fuck what you-
Batman: would u spare his life for a Bat-cookie?
Red Hood:
Red Hood: I'm not a kid anymore-
Batman: they're fresh, look, still warm
Red Hood: ...
Red Hood: this works ONCE. This ONE time. Gimme that damn cookie.
Batman: of course
Red Hood: Fuck I've missed these what the hell does Alfred put in em
Bruce: go to sleep, Tim
Tim: I'm almost done-
Bruce: go to sleep now and you can have a bat-cookie
Tim: a what?
Bruce: a bat-cookie. See? Here, first taste is free. Try it.
Tim: bribery? Really?
Bruce: positive reinforcement
Tim: giving me treats like I'm some kind of dog?
Bruce: try it and then we'll debate the ethics
Tim [eats cookie]:
Tim:
Tim: okay
Bruce: Okay?
Tim: if I promise to sleep a full 8 hours I want two more and a glass of milk
Bruce: u drive a hard bargain but I accept
Dick: aw, c'mon, Damian. One picture. For me, to remember your first day of high school. Do it for a bat-cookie?
Damian: -tt- I've heard of these so-called "bat-cookies" Insulting. I am not a child. I refuse to participate in such an asinine tradition.
Dick: shame. Alfred made animal-friendly ones so you can share with Ace and Batcow. I guess they don't get any treats either, then
Damian: well
Damian: since it would please you so very much, I will overlook this patronizing lapse in judgment
Damian [tries one bite of cookie]:
Damian:
Damian: given Batcows higher food intake requirements, I will require at least a dozen.
Damian [takes another bite]: perhaps two dozen
Duke: you agree I did a good job today?
Bruce: yes? I suppose. Earlier, when you stopped that-
Duke: shut it. Don't care. Cookie me.
Bruce: excuse me?
Duke: I know about the cookies, old man. You've been holding out on me. The cat's out of the bag. I did a good job, I get a cookie. That's how it works, right?
Bruce: uh well
Bruce: that was a long time ago
Bruce: i had to discontinue that method after-
Duke: are you saying I'm not a valid member of this family because I was never Robin?
Bruce: of course you are! But I don't have any on me-
Duke: don't. Lie. To. Me.
Bruce: Okay! Okay. You're right, I'm sorry. Here, take it. Just... do me a favor, and don't go announcing to the whole cave you got-
Duke: YES. MY FIRST BAT-COOKIE! SCORE!
Every batmember in the vicinity: BAT-COOKIES ARE BACK????
Bruce: NO! stay back! Stay back you animals! Alfred! Alfred! It's happening again-
Alfred, sighing: I'll preheat the oven, sir
love and support open at all hours
The way Lucas is established to have issues with stress and by extension anger in season 1 but in season 2, we quickly see through Max that he is the type of person to switch into caretaker mode as soon as she expresses issues with her own and more easily and quickly calms himself with the goal of cheering her up.
The way Lucas Sinclair is a caretaker by nature in the way that he is more able to take care of himself if he’s taking care of others.
The way it makes me think of his relationship with Will and even potential added tension at Mike’s refusal to let him help on Halloween night and the way Lucas tends to heal himself in the process of healing others but Will tends to set things down to avoid conflict. The back and forth of someone who insists on apologizing, not selfishly so much, but because it actively isn’t a chore and is healing for himself.
Thinking about his parents and the way he goes to them immediately for advice on conflict resolution with Max. Thinking about how he only ever begrudgingly apologized when Max didn’t seem genuinely hurt in their relationship. Thinking about Lucas seeing Max hurting and not letting him in even later when she did ensuring that she knew he how much he wanted to help and how he even regretted not trying harder. Thinking about how he wouldn’t stop brainstorming until he realized the best and most comforting thing he could do for her against Vecna was trust her.
Thinking about Lucas, who we’ve often seen a bit tense with Mike, especially surrounding Will, jumping at the chance to help with something and offer advice and a place to vent.
Thinking about Lucas’ relationship with Dustin, who seems pretty self-sufficient (and sassy) so ends up just as a fairly harmless source of bickering that can help blow off steam.
Thinking about a similar relationship between Lucas and Erica. Thinking about the desperation required for the caretaker who cares for himself by caring for others to call for help from her.
Thinking about Lucas Sinclair as a caretaker.
Curb your cowardice.
