I need an outlet for my marauders brainrot, so here I am, crawling back to tumblr
HC that this happened shortly after the league formed:
Random Meta hero (really doesn’t matter who) upon learning Batman is human: oh wow, do you and Green Arrow know each other then?
Batman *scandalised* : what do you think all humans know each other?
RMH *nervously*: oh god I’m so sorry sir I can’t believe I just assumed that
Batman *knowing damn well that he and Ollie went to school together and have a bottomless brunch planned for the weekend* : don’t let it happen again
It must be so fucking weird for Bruce and Oliver to be on the Justice League. Like here they are with a bunch of metahumans, aliens, wizards and gods and shit, and they’re literally just Two Dudes. I bet they side-eye the fuck out of each other during League meetings bc like what the actual fuck? how can this be my problem? I’m going to the chiropractor after this?
Dick parentifying himself- becoming a safe space for his younger siblings and being fully willing to drop everything to help them because he remembers being the only child of Batman.
Thats it.
That’s the whole post.
The team (titans, young justice, batfam etc- not important) take on an investigation involving an athlete who is representing a country at the Olympics.
Naturally the group call in some favours, forge some paperwork and the go undercover as competing athletes for the USA. They all play to the strengths so the cover is convincing (think: Roy in archery, Jason shooting etc, though the meta-members get stuck on comms to avoid unnecessary suspicion)
They do some digging, crack the case and maybe some skulls but then they still have to compete in the events they chose. They all do fairly well, being a hero isn’t exactly easy work, so while they lack the finesse of their competition they make up for it in strength and years of training.
All in all, the mission can be considered a success, and the team are ready to leave their olympian identities behind to fade into obscurity.
Until it’s time for gymnastics.
Dick Grayson takes home the fucking gold.
And if I said that he surrounds himself w mirrors bcs he wants to be certain no one can be hidden in his room? then what?
No because I feel like it’s not discussed enough how young Dick is (bcs of all of the younger Batfam members) but that mf is in his 20s AND STARTED BEFORE THE AGE OF 10??
I counter your “Dick is old” statement with the batbrothers constantly being reminded of how young he actually is.
“Ask Dick, he’s ancient.” Jason says. A week later Jason saves a terrified grad student from a kidnapping and the guy tells Jason he’s 25. And Jason’s like what. But you’re a kid?!
“I was 25 when I adopted Dick.”
“What?!” Everyone says! “That’s so young, you can’t be a dad at that age that’s insane!”
“Dick is 25.” Bruce responds and they’re all horrified.
*Dick is in the hospital and Jason and Tim are trying to figure out his insurance situation when Bruce walks in and tells them them that Dick is still on his plan since he’s not 26 yet.*
I just feel like they don’t understand how young Dick actually is and they tease him so much that sometimes they don’t even realize that he’s really still so young. (I obviously don’t know the accurate ages of everything, but just saying).
The aot castes are so special to me you don’t understand!! I love that they all just get to be normal, boring kids <3 (he’s such a loser/affectionate)

When Armin is assigned a collaborative project with a mysterious delinquent, his high school life gets a lot more complicated. He never thought he'd become the protagonist of a teen flick.
sad rant time abt aot highschool caste au !!!

you know what destroys me when i think about it too much? aot high school caste au. ngl it cheers me up usually because its so damn funny.. but then i get sad when i think about the fact the caste version of the characters is what they could’ve and SHOULD’VE been if they weren’t forced into such devastating lives in the original canonverse. LIKE OKAY LISTEN… the fact goth mikasa is so whimsical and ditsy instead of the fierce and realistic canon au mikasa is basically isayama telling us that “haha mikasa could’ve had the chance to actually daydream like a normal teenage girl and explore her femininity lol” baby mikasa in the OVA’s was so innocent and airheaded, SHE COUD’VE CONTINUED BEING A NORMAL GIRLLL 😞😞😞 AND nerd armin in the caste au being so unaware of his surroundings and actually having the chance to indulge in living out his teen years in a life where he could focus on his interests.

I just want them to be having fun experiencing things T/////T
One of the things which really annoys me about Dick Grayson’s characterisation by both DC and the fandom is how they treat his being Romani (I say this as a gypsy from the circus myself) also before people cancel me for saying gypsy - I am not American and it’s not a slur where I am from. I am a gypsy myself so please don’t freak out about my using this term which feels comfortable and accurate to me
I know this is a common complaint, but being a gypsy or Romani is such a niche ethnic identity, and so often I see people treat it almost like a nationality. For example, the idea that Dick Grayson grew up not knowing English is so bizarre to me… of course he knew English, he may be Romani and speak it, but he is also American. The shopkeeper who he is buying food from doesn’t speak Romani, nor do the local authorities whose permission we need to even put on a circus/fair, so it makes sense that he’d speak English to them. He works in the circus: his family’s livelihood depended on his being able to draw a crowd - if he can’t interact with the people he’s taking the money from, how does he expect to make it in what is essentially a customer service job (I speak from experience here). Also, historically, by the late 18th century, the vast majority of Romani-speaking gypsies also spoke another language as a first language, and by the 20th century, I could argue that this is about 99.99999% of us, if not all.
The other thing I often see is how Dick Grayson is portrayed as being the Bristol-raised kid who doesn’t understand Jason’s Crime Alley upbringing. And yeah, whilst Dick lived with Bruce from a young age, and might (even based on his personality) have a better chance of mixing with the rich kids, let’s not act like Dick didn’t know struggle as a kid. Even if his parents were fairly comfortable economically, he spent at least half the year living in a trailer/vardo, which people associate with being working class. All gypsy kids are taught to fight from a very young age because whenever we pull on somewhere to open (aka put on the show), we expect a hell of a lot of racism from the locals, which often included getting jumped, often by multiple older gadja/gorja/non-gypsy children - and hell, even adults! As well as knowing how to defend ourselves, this also leads to a lot us developing a bit of a defence mechanism wherein we can talk ourselves out of a situation, or endear ourselves to people quickly in the first place so we don’t get fighting (keeping us safe, and keeping us in the good graces of the locals so we can continue earning a living there) - perhaps this could be explored as part of the reasoning behind the famous Dick Grayson charm? Anyway, all this to say, Dick would fully understand what it’s like to be the poor outsider who has to fight at every corner just to exist, and justifying his existence to others who view themselves as his ‘superiors’.
My final complaint is a small one: every single gypsy I know grows up absolutely BELTING Cher’s ‘Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves’ and the fact that I’ve not seen Dick pouring his heart into that song, screaming the words ‘I was born in the wagon of a travelling show’ is honestly a hate crime which must be fixed immediately.
Dick was 100% the worst kid Bruce had to deal with, but he turned out such a well adjusted adult (relatively) that no one believes Bruce when he tries to explain the absolutely unholy terror that was pre-teen Dick Grayson.
The problem that basically every 21st century adaptation of Batman has is that they've failed to understand that Bruce's "I work alone" schtick is a character flaw
