listen listen listen i GET the humor and the delight of bruce being awkward mumble autism dad to baby Dick Grayson but also after that first week or so? the magic thing about having kids as an autistic parent is that sometimes they sort of just. rewire your boundaries and become exceptions. like sensory overload? still happens. but the kid can crawl all over me some days even if i don't want anyone else to touch me. my socially avoidant, quiet in public autistic husband? he is LOUD with our kids. they have their own entire culture of in-jokes and puns.
so what i'm saying is, i love mumblecore autism bruce. i do. but i also think the galaxy brain take is when Dick Grayson slips in as his exception. the person who doesn't exactly count as "socializing," that he has jokes with and talks to sometimes for hours (mixed with those long silences), and spends a lot of time carrying around on his back when Dick is clingy. it doesn't need to completely change him or how he acts in public, but he can also be comfortable enough to have fun with Dick Grayson, quiet or loud.
I made another one...
Comparing Dick and Jason’s early days with Bruce is so funny, it’s just the opposite of what you’d expect.
Jason: “wow, I get to live in a mansion!” “and now I get to be Robin?!” “this is awesome!” “let me get to work on that homework now Bruce so we can patrol later” “being Robin gives me magic” :D
Dick: “my parents are dead” “Mr. Wayne is never around” “everything is terrible” “i’m going to sneak out of the house” “Batman, let me kill a man”
(This happened. This is canon.)
Bruce: Do your homework.
12 Year Old Jason: 'Kay.
Bruce: and get some rest. You did well.
12 Year Old Jason: Okay. Goodnight dad.
Bruce: Goodni-... What did you say?
12 Year Old Jason: ... I didn't say anything. It was a mess up. I-It won't happen again, don't make a big deal out of it.
Bruce: Hm. Okay... Goodnight... Son.
12 Year Old Jason: ... You know what. Thought I liked it. It's weird.
Bruce: That's okay. Whatever you're comfortable with, and if you change your mind, that's okay too.
12 Year Old Jason: Thanks Bruce... You're better than a dad. Goodnight.
Jason needs glasses to read😫💕
I like to think Bruce randomly pops up ninja style very frequently in his civilian life because I do that and in collage I scared a lot of people
Just going into an elevator and BOOM Bruce Wayne??? And he’s like, “sup”
Bruce Wayne talking to a group at a gala and suddenly he’s just gone?
Bruce standing right there when you close the refrigerator, “hey Bruce” like yea, he just does that
Tony: Kid, why do you have bruises on your neck??
Peter, too embarrassed to say that he fell down the stairs: ummm... hickeys??
Tony: the fu- KEENER GET YOUR SORRY ASS HERE RIGHT NOW!!!
Peter: wtf???
HC that Lois, Iris, and Dinah have girls’ night and invite Bruce so they can spend the entire time psychoanalyzing him.
They have filled notebooks.
what a funky dude
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.
