Tim is just like, goddamnit Kon. Now I have to kill you.
That's right. You better run.
Honestly, it'd be funnier if the guy who did it is someone who has like, no other morals. He'll punch a pregnant lady, he'll kill an old woman. Childern, however? No.
I would love for there to be a tmnt villain who at first is just going after them like every other one does, but then after having a Realization that they are Actual Teenagers it's revealed that the dude's got a strict Don't Hurt Kids line to their moral code.
Thing is, they still keep trying to do whatever villainy they first aimed for it's just that, instead of directly fighting the gang, they keep creating increasingly elaborate non-lethal traps to keep the guys busy while the villain does their plot and just bails if the guys show up early.
Just reposting to save it when I switch devices lol
Apparently, Tumblr is being crummy on mobile so I need a in-site masterlist as well now! The google doc will be updated before the tumblr one, but I'll try and stay on top of both of these!
This masterlist will only cover the main plot, please check the google doc if you want character details, refs, ect!

Theres a moment of doubt as Luke brings his saber down on a slavers neck, teeth bared in a feral grin. And then he turns to the children, dropping to his knees with a gentle smile and its gone.
Theres a moment of doubt as Leia sneers down at an Imperial from her place on the senate. The anger she expresses when she finds out he was tortured in one of their cells makes it disappear.
I love the idea of people trying to hold Luke and Leia being the children of Darth Vader against them.
The idea is just so… funny?
Like, you’re going to tell Leia Organa that she’s a bad person? Leia Organa, who refused to give up the location of the Rebel base even when it meant her home and family were blown up in front of her? Leia Organa, who has only ever treated Vader like gum on the bottom of her shoe? Leia Organa, who has been apart of this rebellion practically since she was born?? You’re going to try and convicne me that she could be evil, just because a guy who didn’t even raise her is half of her DNA?
Or are you going to badmouth Luke Skywalker? Luke Skywlaker, who blew up the Death Star? Luke Skywalker, who singlehandedly makes Imperial remnants either run for cover or try to kill themselves? Luke Skywalker, whose best friend is an astromech droid?? That guy is destined for evil??
Just imagining someone trying to spin it against them, when really, their paternity is a point in their favour. These two who gave up their whole lives for the Rebellion, who spent years fighting what seemed to be a hopeless war, who are both so passionate and good that it is impossible to dislike them. They came from something so dark, and yet…
They coud use it as a metaphor, following the fall of the Empire and the beginnings of the New Republic. They could use it as evidence that people deserve second chances and not to be judged for what their parents have done. They could use it as yet another reason why they are way cooler than anybody else-
Like, I know that a few stories try and make it out to be this terrible thing that they try to hide as long as they can. But if the guy who blew up the Death Star and (as far as I know) killed the Emperor and who is singlehandedly trying to bring back the Jedi Order, known for being peacekeepers and great came up to me and told me that his dad was Darth Vader, I think I’d pat him on the back. Like, good job. Your dad sucked, but you really inherited his ability to pull of capes-
I can’t imagine finding out that Darth Vader had children and then wanting to prosecute those children. Not after those children spent four years fighting on the frontlines against Darth Vader. Not when those children are Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. It’s just so unrealistic. Anybody who would want them punished for Vader’s crimes would take one look at Luke’s goofy little face or Leia’s little itty-bitty stature and immediately change their mind.
Jason: holy fuck… I’m stealing that.
Tim: fine, whatever.
Jason: I swear to God, if you cross me, they'll never find your body
Tim: And if you cross me, they'll never STOP finding your body.
Alfred: Injury report?
26-year-old Bruce: All the blood is on the inside?
Alfred:
Some years down the road
Bruce: Injury report?
Tim: I left no DNA behind.
Cass: I can still beat the rest of you.
Jason: Haven’t died again.
Dick: No bones are visible from the outside.
Damian: I won.
Duke: I think I discovered a new power.
Steph: You’re not my dad.
Bruce:
Bruce:
Alfred: And how *is* Karma doing today, Master Bruce?
This is amazing. Like, Lex is OBVIOUSLY a bad guy but he seems so genuine and seems to ACTUALLY value that Kon won’t do anything for him now. Sure he thinks he can convince him but there aren’t threats, actual fear, or anything of the sort being used so he’s better than canon(that everyone ignore… which I prefer) Batman.
An excerpt of morally-ambiguous-dad!Lex for @robotogato to hopefully enjoy, haha.
"Clones really don't get soulmarks, though," Kon says in frustration. "It doesn't even make sense that I'd have one."
"Well, I suppose there's the possibility that I just want you so badly that it happened anyway," Lex Luthor muses idly. "A Luthor doesn't generally accept being denied what they want."
"Very fucking funny," Kon mutters, shooting him a glower. "I'm being serious here, asshole."
"Hm," Lex Luthor observes, inspecting him neutrally. "Not even a moment where you let yourself want to believe that, was there."
"Why would I wanna believe that a bastard like you wanted me?" Kon sneers at him.
"Because I am the only person in the multiverse who would burn down reality for you without hesitation," Lex Luthor says like he's talking about the weather or something. Like he's just stating a totally inconsequential fact or reiterating something as obvious as the sky being blue.
Like there's no question there at all.
"I hope you fucking die and I hope it fucking hurts," Kon hisses as the whole world seems to bleed red, just about choking on his fury.
"Well, it will if you don't close your eyes," Lex Luthor says, raising an eyebrow at him. "Quickly, ideally."
"Wh–" Kon is almost stupid enough to ask, and then he realizes and immediately screws his eyes shut, snapping his hands up over his face just in case.
His eye sockets feel like they're on fire.
"Ah, I suppose I live another day," Lex Luthor says. "Rage and anger are notable triggers for the heat vision, if you're still unfamiliar. And apparently arousal as well, although I have very definitely never encountered that version so I can't say if it's more or less potent than rage."
"How do you even know about it, then?" Kon asks, hating that he can't trust himself to look at the bastard without killing him. Lex Luthor could be doing any stupid fucked-up thing right now and he'd have no fucking clue.
"I am a very intelligent person who can afford very good information," Lex Luthor says. "And I am also more intimately familiar with Kryptonian DNA than quite possibly anyone else on this planet, Superman included."
"Superman has Kryptonian DNA," Kon retorts dubiously.
"He does," Lex Luthor agrees. "His special little gift from dumb luck and blind chance. Some of us actually had to put in a bit of effort to get that kind of power, though."
"You don't have that kind of power," Kon says. "You have money and the fucking bullshit fear that you put into people."
"Ah, but I have you now," Lex Luthor counters mildly. "Now don't I."
"You don't," Kon snaps.
"Oh, give it sixteen years or so," Lex Luthor says, making a dismissive gesture as Kon's eyes finally stop burning long enough for him to risk a glare at him. "Your full powerset should be in by then, and I imagine I'll have had a bit of time to change your mind somewhere in there."
"I don't care what whatever custody law bullshit says about it, I'm not gonna stay with you," Kon says tightly. "Sure as shit not for the next sixteen years!"
"Oh?" Lex Luthor asks, raising an eyebrow at him. "Then where exactly are you intending to go long-term? Just planning to stay in a lab for the rest of your life?"
"Why the fuck not?" Kon says in exasperation.
Lex Luthor's eyes narrow.
"Oh," he says like a realization. "Someone's actually made you assume that you belong in a lab, haven't they."
"Yeah, I can't think of a single unrepentant bastard who might've had a hand in me belonging in one of those," Kon bites off darkly. "Real fucking mystery there, huh."
"Hm," Lex Luthor says.
Been thinking about Piett casually (and constantly) refering to Vader as "my husband" and people who don't know who the husband in question is are "ah sweet a loving couple" and those who do know are s w e a t i n g
I’m imagining a new-hire aid that comes in a couple decades after RotJ when the New Republic is well established. Sure Vader and Piett are in the news occasionally but it’s feasible to miss, and aid was wee bebe when the d r a m a happened so they have no idea.
So the aid’s just doing their job their bestest, and Piett is nice, and the aid can’t figure out why some of their coworkers seem a little scared of him (???) or, like, a lot scared of him and avoid him (??!!!??!).
Like 5 months later they’re popping into his office to drop something off and there’s this 7 foot tall fire-breathing-dragon of a man there and OH. OH. ‘MY HUSBAND THIS’ AND ‘MY HUSBAND THAT’. RIGHT. SHIT.
Piett: “...You alright-- Aid: “HereyouarePiettsir” -sets papers on desk and scurries away- Vader: ... Piett: ... Vader: -turns to frown at Piett- Piett: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Riddler: and the 1st was smarter.
What do you think the Riddler would say to piss off tim so much that he'd try to kill him in front of the other bats?
I saw someone say a while ago that Jason attacking Tim at Titans Tower was just Tim hallucinating bc he was feeling guilty about being Robin even though Jason's not dead. Which is great, amazing, I think the whole Titans Tower thing is Bonkers, but I think it would be so much funnier if Jason tried to Gaslight Tim into believing the Titans Tower incident never happened, not because he's like evil, he's just super embarassed about it. like Or Tim did actually hallucinate Jason at TT but thinks it was real, so when he tells Jason about it, Jason's so fucking confused, and Tim thinks Jason's Gaslighting him
Tim: Remember that time when you broke into Titans Tower and beat me half to death while wearing a Robin costume from party city
Jason: What? Tim, I know i'm crazy, but I'm not...Insane.
Tim, pulling down his collar: I literally have the scar to prove it
Jason: Bruce told me that was from Clayface pretending to be me, which, might I just say rude. Tim... are you ok? Did you hallucinate me attacking you? like, I know I've done that before, but...
Tim, frowning: I don't think I hallucinating. I was benched for a while after because I had to recover-
Jason: well, you were benched around the time I was dropping hints that I knew who Bruce was outside of Batman, he probably just benched you to keep you safe. You probably were working too many cases with too little sleep and your imagination started to run wild.
Tim: Are you gaslighting me?
Jason: Are you gaslighting me?
When the door opens, a lot of thoughts rush through Tim's head at lightning speed. If any telepaths were near, he's sure his mind would have given them mental whiplash because he felt like he was going Mach 20 from what the fuck to a very natural oh my god Bruce is going to fuck this up and ending up at I know exactly what to do in about five seconds.
A haughty looking Prince watched them with a straight spine and a scowl on his lips as he stood- proudly, happily, next to Talia Al Ghul who looks just as royal and proud beside him.
"I thought you'd be taller, Father."
If anything was different- anything at all, he's sure this scenario would have gone wrong.
Had Tim been any less prepared then he was anyways.
Because Tim is not oblivious to the fact that as Bruce has already allowed three children into his life in the past- it would make sense that Bruce would follow the trend and collect more as time went on.
Tim is prepared. He lived alone for the first thirteen years of his life wishing for a younger sibling to watch over and he has made plans for every scenario that he could possibly conceive.
His plans got even more convoluted as he joined the Wayne family and he promised himself that his relationship with his successor would be the best in the family because he wants to win at being a big brother.
He has been training for this his entire life.
So when Bruce- oh poor emotionally constipated Bruce who deflects big emotions with anger -looks at Talia with fire in his eyes at what Tim is sure is a valid anger about having a very clearly his child hidden from him for a decade opens his mouth, Tim does the smart thing and slaps his hand over Bruce's mouth without any hesitation or care.
Talia lifts an eyebrow in amusement as the young Prince's eyes widen fractionally in surprise.
Bruce goes back to being a still life painting in real life as he looks at him intently.
Tim does not care and looks at him sweetly in a way he knows that Bruce knows means that he'll tranq him if he doesn't think about his words.
Batman was very out of it when Tim became Robin.
Tim read a parenting book and decided boundaries were very important in a caretaker situation.
(Yes, Tim considers himself the caretaker in this situation. He thinks it's funny.)
(Bruce did not find it funny after being tranqed for the fifth time, but he could never find all the tranqs.)
"Bruce. Isn't it so wonderful that Talia has created such a gift to the world? It's almost like welcoming a child with love is a much higher priority than whatever you were about to say."
Bruce's left hand twitches in such a subtle way that allows Tim, who knows his partner very well from the past few years, to know that Bruce was surprised.
Tim nods acceptingly before giving Bruce his ability to speak back, and smiling at their guests nicely and genuinely.
Nodding his head to each in greeting, "Ms. Talia, Prince. Please come in for some tea."
He pretends not to notice the barely there shuffle of the Prince's right foot wanting to hide behind his mother, nor does he linger on the vaguest tightening of Talia's hand on her son's shoulder as she glances around them casually.
She smiles at him, politely sharp. She actually reminds Tim of his own mother- weilding the twitch of her lips like it could cut deeper than any hidden dagger.
"That sounds lovely."
