this is hands down my favourite Cass quote and imo people at times take it too literally. "i don't kill but i don't lose" doesn't mean she is physically incapable of losing a fight or she's Just That Skilled it means if Cass really wants to win she will do whatever it takes short of killing to come out on top. she will fight till her legs give out till her body breaks down till the bitter end and then she will get up and keep fighting. "i don't kill but i don't lose" isn't a mere statement of fact, it encapsulates the powerful "do or die" mentality she brings to every single fight. fight like you're dying. fight to win. do anything but kill.
Currently imagining a bat family dinner where all the batkids are going “pass me the Bat-salt” “sorry, I dropped my Bat-fork” “amazing Bat-soup, Alfred!” “I don’t want to see anymore Bat-photos of your dog on your Bat-phone, Damian”
Meanwhile Bruce has his head in his hands cursing the day he decided to get everyone to come to dinner.
Bruce would adopt it
Selina would openly let Bruce adopt it because she thinks it’s a lil funny
Dick would play games with it but might play games that are not in any child’s skill set, cause he could do entire circus routines and etc at that age
Jason would be decent but then leave it alone in a room with MULTIPLE hazards (open windows on second story, stuff cooking on the stove, etc) even if just for a second
Tim would full on forget it was there at times while he got absorbed in cases and then look up to see the child has either hurt itself accidentally or has eaten every single sugary thing in sight and has thrown up.
Steph would adore it but she would forget what things children couldn’t do. Like she would forget it’s a child and ask it to make dinner cause “I did it yesterday and it’s your turn now” so she would forget it’s not just her roommate.
Cass would absolutely love it to bits, but she obviously has no idea what exactly children could do (like Steph or Dick) because she was such an unusual child. So she would let it basically do whatever it wanted as long as it didn’t hurt itself too bad (letting it eat so much sugar, staying up SUPER late, etc)
Damian would drop kick that mf
I took out Barbara and Alfred because they're too obvious.
Sometimes I think Gotham should just save time and throw you directly into the Asylum the minute you get your doctorate.
Another list let’s goooo!!!
Things I think Captain Marvel has let slip in conversation unprompted that have concerned others.
“When I was a kid I threw a brick at a cop car” (by kid he means yesterday)
“You act like my uncle after a beer”
“This reminds me of the time somebody tried to run me over with their car back when I was a kid!” (Again, by kid he means yesterday)
“My sister is basically legally dead.”
“I’ve eaten rat meat before!”
“Have you ever been chased out of a store with a broom cause somebody thought you stole a gift card? No? Yeah, me neither.”
“I fight a lot of nazis.”
“Sometimes the gods in my head tell me to kill somebody to set an example :(“
“Mary Marvel got angry at Junior again and she threw him into the sun. He’s fine... I think.”
“There’s this green worm that tries to crawl into people’s ears and mind control them.”
“I found a baby in a dumpster once!”
“I don’t think I have organs.”
the most fucked up thing about cass and david’s relationship isn’t that david treated her as only a weapon and completely stole her of any personhood, it’s that he genuinely loved his daughter while doing all of that to her
Flash: So, man. What about you? Seeing someone?
Marvel: Hmm? Oh yeah, all the time.
Flash: Oohoho, didn't expect that from you!
Marvel: Ha ha, well, that comes with magic, I guess? You know, being able to see the dead, ghosts, demons. But it was tricky before, I never knew if it was there or if it was one of the voices in my head creating a hallucination to interact with me
Gl: Okay, that's… interesting.
Batman calling Dinah, Dr. Fate and Zatanna with a big red letter shooting MAGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL EMERGENCY
Flash: I was thinking more like, going out with someone, like dating. kissing and all
Marvel: Oh. Dating? No, no. It's not really my thing, you know? Ew, kissing? I'm out
Cap the aro/ace king yes. also, the one who sees dead people
I just came up with a really good idea for an angst filled Cassandra Cain fic but with how complicated it is it might be like 50k words or more and I’ve never even finished a fic let alone posted a fic before so it’s probably never going to happen.
Oh well, time to write a fic that will never see the light of day because of my perfectionism lol.
Headcanon that Billy doesn’t say “I swear to god” or any variation of that cause if he says that and then breaks the promise, the gods in his head won’t stop nagging him about it until he fixes it
She/HerAutistic, queer, and (according to all the unfinished fics in my docs) an aspiring fanfic author!
