okay so, everyone is always telling buck that eddie has a resting bitch face, right? and buck is so so so adamant that he doesn’t and he fights everyone on it. he really can’t understand what people mean. he’s baffled when chimney makes jokes about eddie scaring patients with his stony expression. he is so confused when maddie tells him she was a bit intimated by eddie before they ever talked. buck just can’t believe that this is something people think.
until one day hen shows buck a video of eddie just chilling at the station while reading a magazine. and he looks so serious, so frowny. a little bitchy if buck is being totally honest. and then, in the video, buck walks up the stairs and as soon as eddie sees him he lights up. suddenly he’s all sunshine and rainbows. he’s all smiley and he just looks so soft.
and that’s how buck finds out that eddie does have a resting bitch face but buck never sees it because eddie always looks ecstatic when buck is near.
desperate for a tv show filmed like modern family or the kardashians of the batfam, titled “watch out for the waynes” or something like that.
bruce signed for the limited series to keep up appearances.
dick acts like a love island contestant.
damian is only ever in the corner of shots, staring into the soul of the cameraman.
cass, similarly, does not contribute much, but looks to the camera like she’s in modern family whenever shit happens.
tim finds every way to be the last laugh, the one-liner guy, the “unexpected, effortless, fan favourite™️”.
duke frequents the interview room.
jason sends subtextual messages to the audience through the books he’s seen reading in a scene:
bruce and tim are having a tiff about who’s idea is better while jason’s reading “the metamorphoses - book iii 339-358” (narcissus).
everyone’s having a grand old time at a gala while jason’s at a table reading “vile bodies”.
damian’s in a mood and nobody’s picked up on it yet while jason is seen reading “american psycho”.
nobody can find steph and tim and jason’s sat literally reading the back of a “dazed and confused” dvd to get his point across.
I'm with the " Thomas and Martha were actually weird as fuck before they died" crowd. I like to imagine vigilantism is just an old Wayne family tradition.
Martha Kane, serial sugar baby, casually stalks and kidnaps creepy men, abusers, and predators, only came at the Wayne Gala for a new sugar daddy after bankrupting Carmine Falcone:
Thomas Wayne, rich ass doctor with flexible morals, deep as fuck basement, and access to a RIDICULOUS amount of sedatives:
if i were able i would have written the socioeconomic political drama about the new rome and the hell it would take to actually rule it and the twelfth legion. like. child army and a CITY.
i would write it all solely for one scene, where reyna and jason, no longer praetors, are reclining on the sofas drinking hot chocolate and gleefully watching octavian, now appointed praetor, burn himself out trying to control this mess. his partner is lickspittle he took up only because they didn't pose any threat to him.
sure he has some family ties but did he know how much it took to terrify half of the cohorts into obedience and how much it took to persuade the other half? did he? noooo, he genuinely thought that being a praetor would mean that he can shirk his duty and just get to boss people around.
now he's running himself dry to make the third cohort stop partying and spending too much, ban the fourth cohort from experimenting without reading even a basic training on safety, and trying to make the first cohort actually do something about the second constantly blowing up parts of the camp and the city.
jason and reyna? unbothered. moisturised. happy. in their lane. focused. flourishing. gloating shamelessly.
octavian? near a nervous breakdown.
forever obsessed with percy being weird. off-putting. strange even. a cryptid maybe. an urban legend if I may. my boy is the son of one of the oldest, most powerful gods, has been in FBI's records since the age of twelve, fought and won two wars against immortal beings, went to hell and back. I think he's allowed to be a little odd.
hotch only knew 5 minutes of peace in his entire life and it was when morgan and reid were stuck in that elevator
