Curate, connect, and discover
Hi I recently got into "Batman: Wayne Family Adventure" was hoping someone wants to rp it with me.
Superboy AU where the suit is actually a part of Kon. (TW/CW for brief mention of self harm near the end, marked with three ***)
He doesn’t notice it when he’s still in CADMUS, where he’s in a state that’s not really conscious but too alert to labeled asleep- a dissociative in between. He hears the scientists talking, hears the mention of “the suit responds as expected” or “how does he react to this…”
He can’t focus on it when after weeks of experiments and tests and “Look here, Project 13” he’s being rescued (what was there to be rescued from, what’s going on-)
But when things calm down, and he’s brought to the Watchtower’s medbay and someone goes to remove the suit so they can perform a checkup, he flinches away because that hurt*.
All too suddenly he’s aware of being able to feel the suit. It doesn’t feel like a coat, doesn’t feel like a blanket, it feels like him.
He becomes aware of how it aches, how he can feel the AC on him even though he should be covered.
A quick examination just confirms it: his suit is like a second skin.
It’s full of nerves, veins, even a few thin layers of muscle. There’s no bone, but it’s too soft and flexible to be cartilage. It seems weaker than the rest of him, somehow, old bruises able to be seen if you’re looking for them.
***When he’s left alone for the night, legs still strapped to the medical bed because (he’s dangerous and untrustworthy and was made by Luthor) he thrashed around in a panic earlier, he finds a scalpel left on a try at his bedside and runs it across his chest (hard, because even though he’s not Superman he’s damn well close).
He doesn’t know if he cries when blood rises and trails after the scalpel.
He doesn’t know how he feels when weeks later, there’s still a faint scar.
*I’m not 100% sure how it works in the comics, but to me just because you’re near indestructible/invulnerable, that doesn’t mean you can’t feel pain. I’m sure there’d be a higher tolerance to it, but considering Kon would only be a few weeks old/out of the tube at this point, he hasn’t built up that resistance yet.
Also I am well aware that a scalpel would not work on Kon, let alone Clark, but maybe it’s a kryptonite infused scalpel for emergencies.
Unintentional Stalker Tim Drake AU
I love the interactions where Tim is his canonical weirdo fanboy self, but consider the idea that he never meant to stalk the bats.
Tim’s parents are gone, away on another dig, and Tim decides that instead of sitting in the quiet manor again, alone with only his TV to keep him company, he would grab his camera and take aesthetic photos of nighttime Gotham.
He’s quiet as he looks for a good spot to take his first photos, and when he finds a cool angle of a building against the setting sun he takes a photo.
He did not expect to see Batman and Robin mid jump between rooftops.
He quickly looked up from the photo, but any sign of the bats having been there are gone. Tim’s slightly disappointed, but decides to head home early, not wanting to risk being caught out alone.
The next night, he returns to the streets, camera slung around his neck and heading in the opposite direction of where he last saw the vigilantes. He sees a cool reflection of the moon being framed by a street lamp, and with the click of a button he takes the photo.
He again captured Batman and Robin, this time grappling in the distance, their silhouettes obvious against the light of the moon. When Tim looked up from the picture, they were gone.
Awe aside, he’s getting annoyed that the two masked crusaders keep photobombing his pictures. He walks down a few streets, climbs a tree, and takes a landscape photograph. Almost hesitant, Tim looks at the result.
Robin is chasing a low level gang member across the street.
This keeps happening: Tim goes out into Gotham’s night in an attempt to take photos of the city, and every time time Batman and Robin- sometimes just one of them sometimes both- unintentionally fall into the camera’s path as Tim snaps a photo.
In the background of his photos he’s captured Batman scolding Robin, the duo eating ice cream, Robin trying to walk on a power line, and even a couple of their fights with some of the rogues, along with many more photos.
On one particular night, as Tim gets his camera to focus against a satellite dish against the sky, he sees Robin do a quadruple somersault.
Tim is quickly able to figure out their identities like in canon, and when Jason comes in to take over the Robin mantle, Tim discovers his identity too with little to no problem.
Tim keeps up with his photo shoots, not nearly as annoyed of the photobombs as he used to be but refusing to give up until he has one clean shot of just the city and nothing else.
When Jason dies, and Tim sees Bruce dishing out broken bones and ICU visits to everyday thugs, he knows he’s got to do something. After all, they’ve been entwined longer than the bats know.
noticing a trend among my favorite characters...
Tim when he was looking for Bruce:
Literally started to make a family tree for the dp x dc universe that lives in my head with my favorite ships and dynamics
Some dynamics
Grayghost ( Valerie/Danny)
Jazz Fenton / Jason todd
Jason todd and Paulina twins
Paulina / Sam Manson
Holly Robinson, Maggie and Kitrina as sibling / mentees to catwomen
Henry and Claire clover get officially adopted and LIVE with Bruce Wayne
Damian Wayne and Paulina as bff's
Ect
Will I ever write this this fic for this one
Maybe.....
I am working hard on one of two fics that is just Danny phantom though
So we can all agree that Bruce Wayne/Batman is like the DC version of Tony Stark yea? (and vice versa)
this is my no sleep comparison
Both have/are:
Orphan
Filthy rich
A superhero without powers of their own
A sidekick turned son (in Bruce’s case several+a son turned sidekick)
At least 1 staff member that is both their best friend as well as the sole reason they are not dead from their own stupidity yet(shut up, end game didn’t happen😭😭)
A multi-million(if not more) dollar company in their name
Differences:
Bruce Wayne is not a known hoe(he’s classy😩😩 he keeps his affairs quiet[pun very much intended])
Batman literally chooses to wear spandex like a maniac
Bats have fur right???
Does that mean Bruce is a furry?
IDK but I’m putting it
Bruce Wayne is a furry
He also wears his underwear outside his pants
Why is that so popular in DC?
Is that just like,,, a thing????
Literally cannot think of more differences atm
Feel free to add more to either list :)
i love it when men are transgender and also gay
You ever drank too much coffee or stayed up too late that you felt if you dissociate hard enough you’d clip right through the ground?
MORE TIMBERN DOODLE FOR MY SOUL >:]
when alfred isn’t home
Dick, with puppy dog eyes: Wally can you go take out that army? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
Wally, with a fully broken leg: I would do anything for you
Bruce has this hanging on the fridge by a little magnet.
(Dyou think the guy who shows up first when you look up "man cooking" on pinterest knows what his photos are being used for?)
