“Can you imagine how romantic it would be to move into a new house as newlyweds during the Christmas season? Not only would my future husband carry me over the threshold, he’d kiss me under the mistletoe while he did it.”
“Is that so?”
“Well, I should hope so.” She bumped his shoulder with hers and snickered. “For your future partner’s sake, I hope you’re not quite as thick-headed with them.”
3.1k words. Look everyone! I finally wrote something new and it’s Peanuts

Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;
I am PRO-WOOL
I am PRO-LEATHER
I am PRO-BEES
Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.
Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.
So I mentioned this before but in the Spouses Friend Group the guys still have their titles, and the girls roast them daily for it.
Simon gets the worst of it because he has the highest title and his occasion posh attitude.
“Okay Duke of Hastings, you’re getting posh points,” Kate will say to him when Simon says something in rich without Penelope there to translate.
Penelope and Phillip are constantly going back and forth about which title to call him because technically Phillip has two, he has the one from his family and the one he earned by getting his phd.
“Sir Crane.”
“Dr. Crane.”
“Mm, no it’s Sir Crane.”
“Dr. Crane. Isn’t your father a baron?”
“Yes, but I am no baroness, Sir Crane.”
“Come my little lordling, we have a staff meeting!” Sophie will say as she leads Gareth to said staff meeting.
“Earl of Kilmartin! Come bestow your presence on this lowly servant AND ANSWER YOUR PHONE!” Lucy yelled into Michael’s voice mail after calling him for the fifth time to make sure he ain’t dead or in jail again.
Heyyy I had this funny/ cute idea
Now imagine a six year old Gaara! Reader, you know she’s trying to have fun (except that nobody wants to play with her) and she’s trying to find a hobby! So she chose gardening and.. it’s super fun for her! She even got a small garden for herself where she plants different flowers! Now Gaara! Reader thinks to herself ‘hmmm.. I want to give my family a nice flower! Very cute! But then she walks to her family, holding a vase of flowers inside, kind of excited to show them her flowers! But the moment one of them turns around they accidentally knock over the vase on her hand. It’s no biggie! Right? Well it would be not a biggie if Gaara! Reader looked at them with almost teary eyes and trying not to cry! They do everything to stop her from crying, why? Because of Bruce! And.. she started to cry.. damn.. and who was behind them? Bruce. And he is not happy.
It started so sweetly.
Gaara!Reader, age six, had decided today was going to be special. She’d finally found something she liked — not weapons, not sparring, not scaring people away by just staring at them.
Gardening. Soft soil. Pretty colors. Flowers that didn’t run away when she got too quiet or too intense.
She even had a little patch in the corner of the Manor’s greenhouse labeled "G’s Garden." She liked that. It felt like her name was allowed somewhere.
So after weeks of tending her flowers with her tiny gloved hands, she finally had something to offer. Something she made, something beautiful.
She carefully arranged the blooms — soft blues, pinks, whites — in a little vase she carried like it was sacred.
She never smiled, but today there was the tiniest upward curve of her lips as she tiptoed down the hall.
"I'm going to give them flowers... and they'll like me today."
She spotted her family in the living room. Dick was joking, Jason was drinking coffee, Tim had a book, Damian was glaring at a wall. Normal.
She quietly walked in, holding the vase tight.
“Um…” They didn’t hear her.
She got a little closer. “I brought… flowers for you…”
Jason turned, fast. His elbow bumped her.
CRASH. The vase shattered. Water, petals, broken glass — everywhere.
Everyone froze. She stared down at the mess. Tiny hands trembling.
“…O-Oh.” Big green eyes filled with tears. She blinked hard. Don’t cry. Don’t cry.
“Hey—hey, it’s okay, kiddo!” Dick knelt fast, grabbing tissues like it was a code red. “I didn’t see you! Oh man, I’m sorry!” Jason was panicking. “I’ll fix it, I’ll glue it! Wait no, that’s dumb, I’ll buy you a whole greenhouse—” “Here, here, I will pick every flower in the state, don’t cry!” Tim pled, frantically scrolling on his phone for emergency florists. Damian shoved a handmade wooden carving into her hands: “I carved this last week. You can have it. Just—stop. Don’t make that face.”
But it was too late.
The tears welled over. Her little chin wobbled. She sniffled. She cried.
Everyone froze again.
Behind them… a shadow.
Bruce. Towering. Silent. Absolutely furious.
“…What happened.” He wasn’t asking.
Every Bat turned slowly, like kids caught stealing cookies.
Dick (nervously): “She—uh—she brought us flowers—” Jason (pointing): “It was Tim’s fault.” Tim: “IT WAS NOT—” Damian: “We’re in a crisis, focus!” Gaara!Reader: sniffle hiccup sad flower ghost noises
Bruce’s eyes softened only at her. He knelt, picking her up gently, brushing her hair from her eyes.
“You made these for us?” he asked softly.
She nodded. “I w-wanted to do something p-pretty…”
Bruce turned to his sons like Death himself. “You made her cry over flowers.”
Jason: internally preparing a will Tim: already halfway to picking 4 dozen bouquets Dick: Googling “flower-themed apology songs” Damian: starts planting an entire rose garden out of guilt
Bruce just carried her away, holding her close, whispering, “They didn’t mean it, flower. I’ll help you make more. As many as you want.”
And from that day on…
No one touched a vase again without silently flinching.
The "fat funny friend" : Maxine
My fav ❤️
I’m just gonna write everything I have about her character.
She’s Lucy’s (perfect girl) best friend
The two of them knew each other since they were babies. They are close like sisters.
Maxine have siblings, a big sister and a big brother but she’s not close to them at all.
She fell for Duncan (jock boy) the moment she saw her. At the time she wasn’t really self conscious about her appearance. She grew up mostly ignored by her family but close to Lucy and her parents.
When Duncan and Elias (sunny guy) began pursuing Lucy the four of them started hanging out together.
At this time Maxine was naive and in love. She had talked with Lucy about her crush on Duncan when they were talking about their crushes.
At this point Lucy wasn’t really sure of her feelings for Elias... or at least she wasn’t ready to say it out loud.
From the girls point of view, Lucy was coming along to hang out with Elias when Duncan and Maxine were spending time together
Of course Maxine would think that Duncan liked her. They looked at each other... well Maxine looked at Duncan... and Duncan looked at Lucy, but Maxine didn’t know that.
Duncan was being nice to her and paying some kind of attention to her. He must have had some feelings for her...
For the first few weeks the four of them went on dates where Maxine would try to spend time alone with Duncan while he would try to spend time with Lucy instead
She thought he was shy... even tho he had a teputation of being a big flirt but she thought that it was different with her because he really liked her
She finally got it when after a day where Duncan was particularly moody, she devided to surprise him after his training session
What she truly found out was that Duncan was getting sick of Elias monopolizing Lucy’s attention
He wanted to spend time with her not with her fat friend...
Maxine went back home on her own. she usually drive back with Lucy and her parents but right now she needed to be alone
... plus her father was about to get home from his buisness trip. She wanted to talk to him. He was always there to listen to her problem...
Except this time he didn’t came back and her outlook of life will change after that
Some precision, her father is not dead he just left her family. It’s important to know that even tho she was kind of neglected by her mother at the time before that, she didn’t have any issue with her appearance. But combining hearing your crush tell his friend that he’s tired of hanging out with you and your father leaving your mother for another woman (especialy if you look a lot like your mother), it can lower your perception of yourself.
I might do another post detailing the different relationships between the 4 of them and how they work.
Jason is just a fun lil guy. He loves the thought of fucking around with his brothers like how normal siblings would. Playing extreme tag, making pillow forts, running around in stores with them. He loves the idea. But the bats don't know this because they don't ask. To them, Jason is a big brooding guy who has a moody reputation to keep. Why would he want to do silly little things with them?
So the batkids have all this fun with each other minus Jason, because they don't think he's like that sort of thing, and minus Damian, because he's not interested unless his big brother is there too.
One day, Tim wants to film a TikTok. He goes to Dick, but he's too busy. Dick jokingly says to just ask Jason, and Tim is like: "Yeah, alright." So he does.
Jason: *Reading on the couch in his safehouse*
Tim: *Climbs through window*
Jason:
Tim: "Can you make a TikTok with me?"
Jason, suspicious: "Why me? Don't you usually go to other people for that shit?"
Tim: "Is that a yes or no?"
Jason: "Well, if you want me to.. what is it?"
Tim, pleasantly surprised: "We're going to play rock paper scissors to battle for our food."
Jason: "What-"
Jason and Tim in a weirdly lit, empty parking lot
Tim: "Ok, ok, rock, paper, scissors, shoot" *Rock*
Jason, holding up scissors: "Fuck!" *Starts running like his life depends on it*
Tim: "Haha, ok-" *Starts eating some chicken nuggets* "Hell yeah, these are good."
Jason: "Stop stop stop I'm back-" *Rock*
Tim: *Paper*
Jason, running away: "SHIT!"
The video ends with Jason finally winning a round. He starts to shove as much food in his mouth as he can. Tim trips on his way back and Jason laughs so hard he spits everything out and starts to choke.
Tim goes to Jason to do dumb shit now, and Dick is concerned for the rest of the world, unsuspecting of his brothers' BS.
They are everything to me♡
