-at a justice league meeting in the midst of a very very stressful few weeks for Batman where everything has gone wrong, alfred is on vacation, and Bruce has not slept in days-
Batman: -outstandingly still coherent, lays out an extremely detailed plan on how to take down the Villain Of The Week- Any questions?
Nightwing: -slowly raising his hand from across the table-
Batman: Yes?
Nightwing: So... in all of this planning did you block out time to go pick up Robin from school like you said you would, or do you want me to do that?
Batman: ...
Nightwing: I'd say we could just let walk home alone, but the last time you did that, we found him trying to dismantle a section of the Russian mafia about two hours after he was supposed to get home.
Batman: ...
Nightwing: And he gets out of school in -checks wrist like he's wearing a watch- ten minutes, so you might want to make a decision soon.
Batman: ...Fuck.
Local baby bat upset that he cant simple punch his way out of every situation ends up making some new friends

At Wayne mannor
Alfred: Morning everyone I have an announcement.
Bruce: Everything alright Alfred?
Alfred: Yes, I have invited the Kents to dinner in two days time.
Bruce: What...
Alfred: I expect everyone to be on their best behavior.
Tim: When you say the Kents who do you mean?
Alfred: All of them, Jonathan, Martha, Clark, Lois, Kon, Jon, Kara, Otho, and Osul.
Cassandra: How many people will be in attendance.
Alfred: 24 people in total. For our part everyone WILL attend, no excuses. That means myself, Bruce, Dick, Jason, Danny, Tim, Duke, Stephane, Barbara, Harper, Cassandra, Luke, Kate, and Damian.
Jason: This is going to be fun.
Damian: I bet $20 the house burns down by the end of the night.
Danny: I'll take you up on that.
Meanwhile at the Kent farm
Martha: Morning everyone, last night I was talking with Alfred and we've been invited to dinner at the Waynes in two days. We will all be going, no buts.
Jonathan: We expect everyone to behave.
Kon: At least one person will end up in the hospital.
Kara: I think it'll be fun.
Clark: It'll be fun to see Bruce, it's been a while since we've seen each other as civilians.
Martha: Good, now let's enjoy breakfast, there are chores to be done, and they're not going to do themselves.
Part: 13, (all parts)
allow me to hit Tim with the Slavic beam for a second. and torture Jason Todd in the same breath
so in the magical land of Czech Republic we have a dessert. it is a hard slab of egg and vanilla, typically served with whipped cream, sometimes fruit and coco powder. its name? coffins.
so imagine for me Jason pisses Tim off somehow for the twelve hundredth time or whatever and Tim is like Hm. I could be passive aggressive or physically attack him or start a prank war like a normal person bat. But I have been spending unheterosexual amounts of time with my friend Conner "Midwestern farm boy" Kent and it has moved some ancient brick of my DNA into place.
he shows up at Jason's door with a plate of these and then happily skips away.
cue Jason being strangely pleased when the tox screen turns up clean and it actually doesn't taste bad. until he looks up the name
Dick (Nightwing) and Jason (Robin) stare at Bruce. One sports pleading eyes, the other a shit eating grin. There’s a child between them with black hair and blue eyes.
Bruce, he doesn’t know what’s happening but he doesn’t like it: No.
Dick, grinning: He’s our younger brother now.
Jason, nodding seriously: You’re not gonna take him from us.
Tim, got kidnapped while taking photos of patrol, just happy to be there: Where’s the Batcave?
Bruce: what.
Dick, grinning wider: He’s ours now.
Damian: I check out of school to go volunteer at the hospital
Alfred: *raising from the grave* FINALLY a member of this family with a NORMAL hobby, and it's volunteering at the hospital *dabbs corner of his eye with a handkerchief* it's about time.
We've had a family/murder of crows visiting our garden for years now, and this season the chicks are soooo helpless! They just stand around expectantly with their mouths open as the mom crow eats. Which is what inspired this comic! :)
Batman (1940) #624

based on this post :))
I understand that in canon Tim did NOT ever ask to be Robin, he saw what happened to the last guy. I understand that Alfred basically dropped the uniform on him and said "Go, my child, be free!" AND I understand that Dick was basically like "Yeah, this works."
But I feel like a more accurate description of what happened is... Like...
Dick, holding Tim up by the scruff: If not Robin, why Robin shaped?
who has a total ban from the kitchen, a partial ban and who is allowed?
(writing a fic, its a passing line but im stucked bc im getting second thoughts every time i place a character in a category, thank you very much)
Alfred, by default
Dick, because he canonically can cook
Luke, because he buys the best ingredients
Bette, because she's hardly ever there
Kate, because she doesn't care enough to use it
Barbara, because she can work the smart fridge
Cullen, because he needs it emotionally
Duke, because he hasn't done anything yet
Jason, if he doesn't order takeout and claim credit for making it like he would in canon
Helena, if she doesn't launch into a food history lecture
Damian, if he needs a vegetarian snack
Steph, if she doesn't openly one-up Alfred's waffles
Carrie, if she doesn't recreate the candy spaghetti from Elf
Harper, to fix the oven
Cass, for her mega-pie
Tim, for telling his friends to help themselves
Bruce, to comply with the Geneva Conventions
Selina, because her food is great but she uses Ivy's mutant produce
