Bat Family is Multilingual

While that seems like an obvious observation, not enough people talk about it, either on this site on anywhere else. But yeah, the Bats are a polyglot household. And for those that grew up speaking more than one language, we all know the mayhem that brings.

You know the "spanglish" and "portenglish" that we create? It's on another level at the Wayne residence. Conversations switch languages every sentence, for their dialect of gibberish to anyone outside of it.

For example, the conversation goes: English -> Spanish -> Swahili -> Aramaic -> Mandarin -> Portuguese -> Patuá (Macanese Patois) -> Romani -> Navajo -> Kryptonian -> Coptic -> Arabic -> Doric Greek (Greek from Sparta) -> Griko (Greek dialect in Italy) -> Cherokee -> Vietnamese -> Nahuatl -> Hebrew -> Back to English

Also, they switch languages depending on what they're cooking and proceed to shout it across the kitchen. The loudest The Latin ones and Arabic.

Even sign language is multilingual. The family has their version of it (created by Cass, which uses more body language and movements that show things and feelings instead of words), but they switch between American, British, French, New Zealand, Irish, Brazilian, Maritime, Hong Kong, Inuit, Ka'apor, and even Plains Indian SL on the daily basis. It's so varied that for an outsider, it just looks like their gesturing half the time.

And honestly, I think it all started with an angry Bruce learning French and German from Alfred.

I love it when villains hugely underestimate the kid hero during their first battle and get destroyed

Unexpected perk of learning a second language: I get to judge characters' grammar on TV when they speak it, and it's always bad. Then I get to translate to my family and TELL them it was bad grammar.

"how could Odysseus hurt a god it doesn't make sense-"

Me, unable to stop thinking about preteen Percy Jackson, with no god help nor special tools besides his sword nor the sheer rage and force of will of an adult man who's suffered for 20 years trying to get home, making Ares bleed ichor on the beach: ....No yeah this tracks to me tbh

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

I don't really know how to say this, if you're lying then oh well, but if you're telling the truth, I am not in a position where I can help you right now. I genuinely hope you can find help somewhere and I wish you the best. I'll be praying for you, remember Jesus loves you and there's nothing you can't get through.

Seeing as how a dumb amount of villains had teamed up, this qualified as a worldwide disaster. After getting smacked at the watchtower, the Justice League realized they had to create a real plan. They weren't going to defeat this rapidly growing rendition of the League of Doom by brute force.

For want of a headquarters, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman had opted to meet in the batcave. Although Robin and the former robins understood the gravity of the situation, they saw no point in moping about it if they weren't allowed to join the meeting.

They instead amused themselves by having a many- way wrestling match in an adjacent room, with Barbara as the referee. It made a lot more noise than they thought.

"If we attack from the west-" CRASH!

"DIE FOUL BEAST!" (They tended to get a bit personal when wrestling.)

"DICK! JASON! TIM! DAMIAN! BARBARA! CASSANDRA! STEPH! QUIET!" Batman shouted for the fifth time.

"You have too many children," Flash said.

"That's not what matters right now," Batman replied, not even denying it. "We need a viable strategy- if everyone fights their own nemeses, we will know what to expect, but so will they."

A crash shook the wall. Most all of the sidekicks and former sidekicks were communicating in the odd, chirping language of their own invention by now. Cassandra screeched in an almost mocking tone, to which Barbara responded with a chastising chirrup. Cass tweeted apologetically.

Batman got up from his chair and stormed to the door. Slamming it open, he let loose a massive "SCREEEEEEECH!" followed by a rapid "SCRAW- CK CHKCKCHK- SSSSKCKCKS-" and a final "rrrrraAaAaAAAAaSKSCSKSCRA!"

Utter silence. Batman slid back into his seat. Green Lantern voiced the thought in everyone's mind.

"Bruce- you speak chirp language?"

Batman raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, of course. Didn't you know that?"

Reblog this picture of me holding a Family Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios? I’d really appreciate it.

"A long time ago, I had two parents. I was an only child. Then they died. I was in a house with two strangers. Then the strangers were my father and my... uncle? No, grandfather. I was still an only child. Until I had a brother. Then I didn't. I was an only child again. A friend became a sister. I got another brother. My old brother came back. He was different. But I was just glad he was back. An enemy became a friend... and then another sister. Then a random weirdo I didn't really like became a friend... and then another sister. Then one more brother just showed up... I hated him, until I loved him. That whole time, I wondered what family really was. I just figured it out. It's the people you love more than anyone else, the people you would die for- whether it not you're related. That's family. And I'm glad to be a part of this one."
