Said softly refers to the tone of the speaker, as in the emotions present when speaking.
Whispered refers to the volume of what’s being said, as in how quiet or loud the words are said.
Yes, there is a difference, a somewhat significant one at that.
I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.
😭 This just fits perfectly.
If you don’t get it, Athena was born from Zeus (her father).
Hephaestus split Zeus’ head open with an ax and Athena sprung out, fully grown and wearing armor.
The joke is: Athena thinks babies are born from men because that’s how she was born.
Odysseus: *hands baby Telemachus to Athena*
Athena: Wow, he's heavy.
Athena, touching Ody's forehead: I hope the labour wasn't too hard for you?
Odysseus:
Odysseus: It was fine.
Penelope: *sniggering*
Odysseus, to Penelope: Please can I just tell her the truth now?
Penelope: Nope.
😭
We are so so understaffed
[at Jason's funeral]
Dick: *places his hand on the headstone and sobs*
Dick: How could you do this to me? We are so understaffed.

I think Damian might try it with his Middle East origins idk
But it’s probably more like;
“Is it because I’m of a superior blood?”
Or smthn. Idk. I just find this hilarious.
Headcanon that when Duke becomes comfortable with the family he instantly starts pulling the Black Card to win an argument.
The first time it happens is when Batman asks him to stay late in the cave to go over some reports but Duke is tired Damnit and B isn't listening to his protests so he pulls his best sad face and asks "Is it because I'm Black?" When Bruce says that Duke can't ask his siblings to cover for him. Cue the biggest panic that any of them have seen in a long time as Batman switches to Bruce and starts assuring him and telling Duke to go relax.
From there Duke has realised he's gotten a get out of jail free card that he uses carefully (Re: to get out of a gala early, to get his favourite food for dinner a couple of times.)
Using it on his siblings only works once or twice before they start on the orphan card that rarely works as they're all orphaned one way or another.
One time he used it on a villain and they almost instantly stopped beating him up to protest the accused racism.
War? Whatever do you mean?
I didn’t get it at first but once I read the reblogger’s comment, it made so much sense and hit so hard.
The deer represents someone who spiraled back into depression. I can’t express how much my little writer analysis brain loves this symbolism…

You can’t be dead if you were never truly alive 🙃
Are you dead?
Bold of you to assume I was ever alive.
Hear me out: Robin Dick would be the biggest Bruceman supporter and shipper.
This boy hates any of Bruce’s love interest with a passion because then his dad guardian spends less time with him and that’s obviously UNACCEPTABLE, SCANDALOUS even, so when rumours start circulating that Bruce Wayne is in a relationship with the Batman, he jumps right on the wagon.
Reporter, thirsty for a story: Mr Grayson what do you think about the rumours that Bruce Wayne is dating the Batman?
Dick: What do I think about my dads you mean? My very married very taken dads? My very faithful to each other plural dads?
He would fuel the rumours both as Robin and as Dick Grayson, punching criminals for talking bad about Wayne enterprises as Robin (“THAT’S MY STEPDADS COMPANY YOURE TALKING ABOUT!”). He would be on online forums all day talking about how Bruceman is the only Batman ship that makes sense and Doxxing people who disagree.
Bruce is so exasperated because this is happening at a time where only Alfred and Dick know his real identity so he can’t even do anything with ANYONE without making either Bruce Wayne or Batman look unfaithful.
Throw Reporter Clark Kent into the mix who has been sent to scope out the Bruceman story, who Bruce makes the mistake of flirting with at a gala. Both Clark AND dick are scandalised.
Dick, making a scene: HOW COULD YOU! BATMAN IS WAITING FOR YOU AT HOME AND YOURE HERE FLIRTING WITH SOME… SOME REPORTER??
Bruce, sighing: Dick-
Dick, tugging on Bruce’s suit and looking up at him with fake tears in his eyes: Dad, are you and dad getting a divorce? :(
Clark, panicking: NO NO THEYRE NOT GETTING A DIVORCE PLEASE DONT CRY
Meanwhile:
Bruce, crying in the corner: he called me dad
He would even go as far as insisting that Robin is his step sibling
Principal: how do you explain that whenever Robin is injured, Dick fails to show up at school the next day?
Dick: Robin and I are twins :) so when he’s injured I’m injured too and we have to stay home together!!
Bruce, whispering: I’m sorry, they’re not really twins but neither I or Bats have the heart to tell hem
Please
I have an english oral exam tomorrow
