The office but it's just the Batfamily.
Batman/Bruce, in the middle of a huge argument in the diner room: I have no favorites.
Batman (to the camera): My favorite is Cass. She can neutralize every single one of us.
Camera on cass eating a bagel, while Bruce narrates: And I respect that.
---
Duke: Cass.
---
Cass: Duke.
---
Steph: Cassie!
---
Selina: You know who it is.
---
Jason (to the camera): Dick? Oh that's so fucking easy it's the gremilin
Tim (To the camera): It's the gremlin.
Oracle/Babs (To the camera): Damian.
Steph: Evil child.
Damian: Me.
Dick as nightwing in a rooftop walking around with his hands: Oh my god, I can't belive you even asked me this??! We are all a big ass family and- We just keep going, like there's so many people here who I never saw before snd they just *poof* keep spalming and- Like cmon guys get a grip-
Dick (To the camera): *sight*
Dick:... It's Damian.

Jason (To the camera) without batting an eye: Tim.
Cameraman: I'm sorry- *checks notes* I'm confused... Didn't you to- Tried. to kill Tim Drake once?
Jason:
Jason: So?
------
Tim (To the camera): I feel like I should say Bruce....
Tim: I mean it needs to be someone I admire, respect, enjoy and stand up for despite all flaws.
Tim: Like despite every single wrongs right?
Tim:
Tim:
Tim, horrofied: Oh my god it's Jason.
Jason on the other side of the window behind Tim wearing a full Red-Hood atire and holding a cellphone gen 1: HA-HA.
----
Alfred (to the camera): It's not Master Bruce.
Bruce: Alfred? Definitely not me.
Dick: It's Bruce.
Alfred (to the camera): You don't raise as many children as the fate bring to your doorstep by yourself, take care of their wounds, wait for them in a cold night without getting any type of rest until you receive a single sign indicating that they got home safe and then get the luxury to choose.
Alfred (To the camera): I wouldn't even consider the luxury of choosing.
Alfred, serving tea at the dinner table: You all made my hair go gray equally.
----
Babs (To the camera): Me.
----
Damian: This is ridiculous, obviously I would pick my father.
Damian to the camera: Nightwing.
---
Harley: I'm not even sure how y'all let me be part of this.
Camera man: We didn't-
---
Commissioner Gordon ( To the camera): If I'm being honest I feel like I resent every single one of them.
Commissioner Gordon: Except of course, my daughter.
Damian [brings in a hairless cat]: evening everyone, meet Jason
Damian: I adopted him from the shelter yesterday
Dick: let me guess, you named the cat Jason as revenge for that parrot
Jason [laughs]: and he named after me the hairless cat specifically
Jason: but I don't mind, it will remind me of my helmet
Damian: no, Todd, when I chose a cat to name after you, I didn't rely on the lack of fur
[Dick and Jason exchange glances and look at Damian, Dick with interest, Jason with suspicion]
Damian [solemnly]: the sad truth, Todd, is that Jason is castrated…

Gordon: "You busted up this warehouse because?"
Jaybin: "As you can see, it's a facility for illegal processing--"
Criminal: "Nuh-uh. You can't prove that's not baby aspirin."
Nightwing: *licks it off glove* "Oh."
Gordon:
Criminal, smugly: "What's the matter? Headache go away?"
Gordon: "Give me some of that stuff, mine's just starting."
Yeah that makes sense now that I think about it. Toothless DID seem pretty surprised about the Red Death.
Rewatching httyd and I think I’m realizing something about Nightfuries.
So, Toothless spits up half the fish that Hiccup gave him. A kind of act of goodwill to reciprocate Hiccup’s. He does it again later after Test Drive.
It’s not something other dragons do when say, feeding the queen, because a Gronkle does the same and gets eaten. Sure, it could just be that it wasn’t enough for the queen, but we also know something about Nightfuries.
They don’t take food. It’s in the opening dialogue about them.
If a Nightfury took nothing back to the queen, I’m sure they’d be eaten too. But Toothless shows up, somewhat late, with the first pack of dragons that attack the village.
I think he followed the dragons because they were flying somewhere together, not because he was under orders from the queen.
So I think Nightfuries are meant to be pack hunters. They work together and feed each other.
He bonds to Hiccup very fast, and even when he could kill Hiccup, he doesn’t. Like when Hiccup lets him go. Like the very first flight when Hiccup attaches just the tail fin.
And sure, we know that dragons can tell when you mean harm and have weapons, but the Monstrous Nightmare still almost killed Hiccup in the beginning despite being unarmed.
Anyways, based on this evidence, I think Nightfuries are meant to be pack hunters, and the fact they are solitary is a tragedy. They’ve been wiped out that it changes their entire ability to exist with other dragons.
(And for the little dragons that come and steal his food, they’re not part of his pack. That’s why he defends his food. It’s like a lion protecting food from hyenas.)
Edit: OH, AND it’s a great reason why he’s so adept at enforcing boundaries and keeping the peace between pack members. It’s innate. Like wolves, they have to manage everyone’s emotions and actively try to avoid fights and de-escalate.
Love this
we healing from this ending so have the inko adopts tenko/izuku-tenko siblings au
other scribbles of it ....... also lol if u think about it this au is kinda the equivalent of the afo-yoichi-kudou dynamic but lighthearted and no actual murder stuff happens .....
AND HERES THE VERY OLD VERSION OF THIS AU LOL i had this around 2022 and had a whole thread about it. im not sure if i even posted this here but whatever. so sorry its kinda Cringey bc of how outdated it is
shoutout to Jim Gordon because that man has to deal with Bruce Wayne & his children in multiple identities and has to pretend he doesn't know they're the exact same people.
Batman: I know it's been a rough night with the Arkham breakout, but we need to go offline for an important mission.
Jim Gordon, who knows full well that Bruce Wayne is about to host a gala and let his kids run absolutely wild terrorizing attendees: ...important?
I just know Gordon internally dies every time someone in the bullpen has some gossip magazine with Batman's highly distinct jawline splashed across a cover or spread.
Imagine for me please Gothamites mocking Batman because sure he’s their ‘savior’ and all, but he’s also one of them and it’s been a few years since he’s become Batman so he’s well known and just- Batman: *growling* go home! Teenager:… gO hOmE~ like what are you? My dad? Batman:… Teenager:… I’m kidding please don’t adopt me - Batman: I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman. Gothamite: ~I aM vEngeAnCE~ like do you practice that in the mirror? Batman:… - Batman: don’t sell drugs to students Drug dealer: doN’T sElL dRuGs tO stUdeNtS- please as if you didn’t need drugs to live in college Batman:… Batman:… just… not too much Drug dealer: *scoffs* of course not dude I don’t want them overdosing we need more smart people who don’t want to kill everyone- plus if they die I lose a customer Batman:… good to know
Teenager: *walking home from school, drops books* Batman: *watching from a nearby roof* damn that sucks Teenager:... Batman: Teenager: *grumbles as they bend down to grab stuff* Batman: stay in school! Teenager: *flips him off* ~ Visitor from Metropolis: ugh omggg this city is soooo grosss! its because none of you have superman! all you have is that wannabe furry Batman! Gothamite:... *looks up and spots Batman* yeah you right Batman: fuck you! Gothamite: *grins and flips him off* Batman: *leaves* Gothamite: *beats the shit out of the Metropolian for saying something as blasphemous as that* ~ Gotham citizen: ugh i got my hair all done and no one notice- Batman: *from above* ohhh emmm GGGGG that sucksssss Citizen:.... Batman: :) Gothamite:.. no one asked you you furry black hotpocket Batman: :( ~
Batman (shouting, adopting an angry father voice): Why do you constantly make me angry and embarrass me?!
Nightwing looked at his brothers, who wore equally confused expressions. Batman groaned, his frustration evident, as he knew where this was heading.
Nightwing (waving his hands, exasperated): Batman, which one of us are you talking to?! Is it Red Hood?
Red Robin (pointing at the angry man, eager to deflect): It’s Red Hood, right?
Red Hood (denying, arms crossed): No, I don’t embarrass him. I annoy him! So it’s Red Robin, right? Because nobody likes him.
Robin (joining Red Hood's side, smirking): I agree!
Red Robin (spiteful tone, glaring): Oh, no, I know who it is. It’s the unwanted child, isn’t it?!
Robin (innocent, eyes wide): Why would you say that about Nightwing?
Nightwing (confused and defensive): What?!
Red Robin (pointing, voice escalating): No, I was talking about Robin Jr.! He knows I was!
Robin (shouting, angrily): Robin Jr.! Those are fighting words you knock off Timothée Chalamet!
Without warning, Robin pounced onto Red Robin's back, and they both tumbled to the ground in a flurry of limbs. Meanwhile, Nightwing and Red Hood started arguing, their verbal sparring quickly escalating into a physical altercation. Nightwing skillfully gained the upper hand, wrapping his arm around Red Hood’s neck in a headlock.
Batman sighed, feeling defeated, as he and Jim Gordon watched the bickering brothers. Jim couldn’t hide his amusement, much to Batman’s chagrin, a migraine already forming at his temples.
Jim (smirking): Hm, you know, I often forget you have like four or five kids. Which one were you referring to?
Batman (deadpan, rubbing his temples): All of them… All of them.
Jim (nodding, chuckling): Yeah, that tracks. Let them work it out of their system.
Batman (walking away, shaking his head): I usually do.
Jim (intentionally annoying the man): Hey, be thankful one of them isn’t a serial killer.
Batman (groaning, exasperated): Oh my god, it’s not a contest!
If the Marvel and DC universes came together, who would be friends with who and what would it be like?
Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark would have the most complicated dynamic. Iron Man and Batman have a longstanding frenemy-like feud over who’s the better tech hero, but the public lowkey ships the billionaires. In reality it’s more like Bruce bringing his kids and a plate of Alfred’s deviled eggs to the Stark family’s Sunday brunches and they complain about “kids these days” over mimosas. Pepper and Selina laugh at the men in their lives while Alfred and Rhodey just give each other knowing looks
