Batman, arresting Harley for the umpteenth time: You're going to prison, Quinn.
Harley: You know what I was thinking?
Batman: what.
Harley: That you don't send me to prison. *grins*
Batman:...
Batman: I have no idea what to say to that.
Harley: No, think about it! I could wear my sexy nurse outfit and you me and kitty could have some fun!
Batman: *sighs* As appealing as that prospect is,....
Harley: *low squeal*
Batman: No.
Harley: You need a therapist who can fuck you and tell you about your mommy issues at the same time
Batman: I don't think anyone ever in the history of humanity has needed that.
Harley: (begging) Come on, Bats. They drug me in there! It gets all...spooky sometimes. Not your kind of spooky, the bad kind.
Batman: *hesitating*
Harley: And they feed me pea soup! PEA SOUP!! *kicks a rock and starts crying*
Batman: Quinn, you should have thought of that before you ran away with Ivy and killed the CEO of FutureTech.
Harley, pleading: That was Ivy, not me!
Batman: Uh huh.
Harley: She said he was a plant murderer. And I gotta admit, I wasn't feeling too good myself about him dumping all that toxic waste in the Amazon.
Batman: When things like this happen, you come to me.
Harley: You've never shown interest in plant shit before.
Batman, pinching the bridge of his nose: I can handle it. I know how important 'plant shit' is to Ivy and you. It's important to me too. That's why, next time, before you murder someone, let me handle it legally by scaring the shit out of them first. Okay?
Harley: *hiccups* okay.
Batman: Now. I'll talk to the Arkham parole board about your early conditional release. But I will make sure they give you some truly, spectacularly, horribly disgusting community service.
Harley, desperate: No. Not the garbage route again.
Batman, smiling grimly: Oh it gets worse. Trust me. *begins typing into his phone*
Harley: Oh my god I think I'll just do my time. I'm not going into the trash cans, you don't know the kind of shit people throw out! I think I'll just take my meds and stare at the walls instead.
Batman, looking up from his phone: I'm afraid that ship has sailed. *smiles evilly*
Harley: Oh my fucking shit you monster!
Batman: Remember that feeling the next time your trigger finger itches to pop off a human being.
Harley, gritting her teeth: It's itching now, bitch!
Batman, smugly: Good.

Wait no this makes sense actually. Like legitimately makes sense, doesn't fully explain how he knows the location of Dragon Island to be fair but then again he may have learned it so he could avoid getting too close and falling under the Red Death's influence.
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.
Dick: Damian, why are you so thoughtful?
Damian: thinking about how to get revenge on Todd.
Dick [frowning]: for what?
Damian: the bastard gave me a parrot...
Dick: but that's great! I thought you liked animals!
Damian: yes, but he first taught this parrot to say, “Help, I've been turned into a parrot”
[GET REVENGE ON JASON]
Love this
The thought that Brucie Wayne and Batman being two completely separate entities that Bruce can code switch between has consumed me especially with the idea that he mixes the two together on occasion to fuck with people

Batman having decided to fuck with him walking up to him cocking his hip putting one hand on his chest and in full Brucie Wayne mode: C’mon Ollie-Dollie you know who I am. We dated 💕
Green Arrow (internally): Modem noise

*Bruce getting a call during a JLA meeting*
Brucie: Oh! hello dear, yes of course I’m coming to your party I’ll see you later 😘
Batman: Our security measures need to be increased due to the number of criminals currently attempting to follow heroes to their base of operations
JLA *experiencing whiplash*: what.

Batman *quiet but deep Batman voice*: there’s an assassin in the rafters
Bruce, visibly overwhelmed by Emotions as he watches a ten-year-old Dick goofing around in the batcave: Alfred. Alfred I think I'd die if something happened to him
Alfred: *carefully doesn't say that he thought the same thing when Martha and Thomas placed a newborn Bruce in his arms for the first time because he knows that'll completely destroy the little emotional bandwidth Bruce has*
Christmas at Wayne Manor is usually hectic. With various arguments about varying topics and an inevitable snowball fight that ended with the four boys being draped in blankets in front of the fire because they were all out there in nothing but sweatpants.
Between serving rounds of hot chocolate and adding new logs to the fire, Alfred would be seen cleaning up the discarded tissue paper and scraps of wrapping paper that littered the floor.
That is until the year Bruce gave each one of his children weighted blankets, and the hours which in previous years had been flooded with shouting and shivering bodies were replaced with the sound of deep breathing.
—————————————————
The lack of noise coming from the drawing room was concerning as Bruce made his way back to the room after helping Alfred finish cleaning up the wrapping paper. Alfred was currently in the kitchen beginning preparations for Christmas dinner.
As he stepped into the room, bracing himself for a snowball to the face—because there’s no other way his children would be this quiet unless they were planning a sneak attack—but was surprised to find his children weren’t scheming as he had thought. Dick was sitting in front of the couch, Tim and Stephanie leaning their heads on either of his shoulders and Damian curled up on his lap, their weighted blankets draped over each of them while Jason laid on the couch under his own blanket. All of them were asleep.
Leaning against the doorframe, Bruce crossed his arms and watched the deep breathing of his kids, the soft music coming from the record player Dick had given to Alfred floating over to him.
“I believe you made a good decision for their gifts this year, Master Bruce,” Alfred said softly, coming to a stop beside him.
Bruce smiled. “I’m afraid Jason won’t be able to keep up his promise to help you with Christmas dinner this year, Alfred.”
“That’s alright, Master Bruce,” the butler replied. “Let them sleep. I do not think any of them have gotten this much sleep in a while.”
Bruce chuckled. Between regular villains of the week and the holiday schemes from a myriad of different villains, they had all been swamped on patrol.
“I’d offer to help, but I think we both know it’s for the best that I don’t,” Bruce said.
“I appreciate the thought nonetheless,” Alfred replied.
They stood there in silence for a moment.
Then, as Alfred turned to leave, Bruce said, “Merry Christmas, Alfred.”
“Merry Christmas, Master Bruce.”
My mom's bisexual, amazing woman
Yknow how lions will sometimes pretend that their cubs' biting hurts and stuff as a form of encouragement
Imagine that but like
