This.
Look, not my normal post but this is important.
This month I lost someone I used to work with from suicide, and a friend of mines almost succeeded. 5 years ago my then best friend almost succeeded as well
You may think you don’t matter, you may think people will be happy without you but you’re wrong. I understand some people are in abusive situations where they are told they aren’t important, that they don’t matter. They’re lying to you. They may not care but other people you pass by, that person you have small talk with, someone cares
I have been there, I know how helpless you can feel, I understand. But I also know what it’s like to be on the other side, to see someone you care about come out of that. To know that they’re gone/you almost lost them to something you swear you could have stopped
If you are struggling I beg you to reach out, I am begging you. Please please please reach out. I know it’s hard, I know it’s scary, but you have to fight for yourself. Being alive is worth it please. Even if you have to find “stupid” things to keep going. I used my pets to push me through, that helped me personally to have someone to anchor myself to
I know I’m rambling and no I’m not editing this. Please stay alive. Please

anger issues run in the family ig
this one time when all his kids finally let him have some peace and he’s still not sleeping himself
Do you have any fanfic recs? Cause I plowed through a lot but a lot I don’t really jive with. But your (correct) vision of the bats is what I’m looking for. You know Bruce is trying to be a dad and not ever hitting his kids. And everyone is like we hate each other for reasons but we also love each other.
Btw you literally make me grin. You’re truly funny and I just go on you blog and it makes my day better. Like the kind of smile you can’t smother and it just lasts for ages so thank you for every meme and joke and headcannon. They are so perfect
oh god you’re really putting a load on me here okay so good dad bruce wayne and overall good batfam stuff,,, also thanks so much! im really glad you like this stuff
Safe And Sound - watchingthestars13
this one is just,,, the cutest and i have read it like 20 times so far and it never fails to disappoint. it’s a 5+1 with times his kids called him dad and once he called himself dad. it has a hint of superbat, but that’s not the focus of the story.
Latchkey - goldkirk
okay this was one of the first tim drake centric works i read and it is the shit. (it also got me permanently imprinting on the first stupid nerd i saw) it’s about tim befriending jason and getting sucked into their family, while he’s trying not to get them to know he knows about their secret identities
Excelsior - jerseydevious
when i tell you you should read this im not kidding, it is one of my favourite batfam works and it’s just *chefs kiss* it’s incredibly well written and the characterisations are just beautiful and i love it so much. it’s about bruce buying damian a horse,,,, and then it all spirals from there.
Hummingbirds Under His Skin - jerseydevious
this,,, i just- dang this is a really good fic and i love it so very much. no explanation needed. bruce and dick have a little chit chat about being bisexual.
In For a Penny - cdelphiki
have you ever thought about how bruce must’ve been like 25 when damian was born? no? how damian was born when dick already lived with bruce? no? now have you ever thought about damian arriving at the manor as a baby? well now you do. it is,,, so cute and so angst, but so cute.
birds fly in every direction - distracted_dragon
is it obvious that i love tim drake yet? this is long, like 180.000-ish words but it is chockfull of shenanigans and angst and i love it so much. omg shit i just remembered @batfam-chaos is the author of this. i literally followed them bc of the fic and then i forgot they were the author omg. okay it’s about tim!! being very smart and researching vigilantes and then him befriending jason!
Emergency Contact - lurkinglurkerwholurks

Disaster Zone - engmaresh

Pot, Meet Kettle - borntobemild
*screaming* i love stephanie brown!!!!!! (and tim drake) and stephanie brown and tim drake besties dynamic!!! it’s about tim and steph being bffs with shitty dads :( but i love it,,, read it now.
My own batfam works
okay it’s probably weird to rec your own stuff, but i’m just putting out there that i am incapable of writing bad dad! bruce wayne so it definitely doesn’t have that.
actually so much funnier to imagine harley quinn thinking of rpatz bruce wayne when she named bruce the hyena “after that hunky wayne guy” than any other iteration
Jim Gordon: do you realize how fast you were driving?! I can only look the other way so much!
Batman: Brazilian free-tailed bats can fly at speeds up to 99mph
Jim: just…just try not to do it again
Batman: the rocket on the batmobile is supposed to mimic the tail of a Brazilian free-tailed bat
Peak Dilf Bruce Wayne
is it just my " Bruce loves Alfred so much and just wants to be like him" brain playing tricks on my ears, or did Battinson have a slight british accent in the movie at times??
I like to believe he tried to imitate Alfred so much when he was little.
The dark hair and doe eyes, permanently sad but alluring and mysterious, he had from Martha. He has Thomas' roman mouth, elegant bow in the middle.
They both smile with their whole teeth first, moon glow bright, Thomas with a grin made for vintage magazines of American gentlemen with lips puckered around a cigar, and Bruce with Martha’s pointy canines.
He's their baby through and through.
But he wants to be Alfred's baby, too.
Alfred comes to pick Bruce up from kindergarten one day. He notices something unusual. His little sir socializing willingly.
Bruce approaching his newest friend, Oliver Queen, timidly, but eager, " I can talk funny like my papa. Listen,"
He does the worst British accent Alfred's ever heard, and he had to stand through Thomas' Queen Elizabeth impersonations. Bruce comes over to him and asks him why he's crying.
People think the batfamily wear gloves as to not leave fingerprints. This is incorrect. They actually wear gloves to stop their fingernail polish from chipping.
tim drake’s snapchat is 90% him making bruce wayne do normal middle-class american things and filming the results. popular youtube compilations include the one where they’re at denny’s at two in the morning and tim keeps trying to get bruce to order a moon over my hammy just so he’ll have to say it, the one where they’re at disneyworld and bruce gets increasingly frazzled culminating in him actually physically picking up gaston for reasons no one can entirely recall, and everyone’s favorite series “bruce wayne doesn’t understand walmart”
