I never hate my OCD more than when I’m drawing HOLY FUCK

Because one second I’ll see something and be like “wow! I love how this artist drew that, I want to do something like that!!” and then as soon as I attempt it my brain says “well actually what if we HATED that because it isn’t PERFECT”

Like PLEASE just leave me alone this is why drawing Literally Anything takes me TEN FUCKING HOURS

SHUT UP AND LET ME HAVE FUN

PLEASE

Thinking about the Bats suppressing their injuries and how yes, they have crazy high pain tolerance, and yes, they are in peak human condition, but ALSO, they do Too Much Shit sometimes and have definitely made injuries worse by accidentally ignoring them

Like, imagine one of them throws out their back doing something Totally Normal and Mundane so they just. Ignore it. Because I literally sneezed, it can’t be that bad, right?

(Spoiler alert: it is that bad)

Tim, moving more slowly than normal and grimacing every few seconds: damn maybe I pulled something
Jason, stopping by to pick up some things he needs while Bruce is out: ?? What’ja do?
Tim: I dunno, but my back really fucking hurts and I’m starting to get all numb and tingly
Jason: ?!?!?
Jason: How long has it been hurting????
Tim: I don’t know??? I guess, like, a few hours???
Jason: What did you do????
Tim: I DON’T KNOW, MAN, IT STARTED AFTER I SNEEZED
Jason, laughing: YOU HURT YOURSELF BY FUCKING SNEEZING????
Tim: THAT LITERALLY CANNOT BE THE CAUSE
Jason: I dunno man, kinda sounds like it
Jason, in tears: Maybe it’s time to retire
Tim: FUCK YOU IM FINE
Tim: WATCH I’LL PROVE IT
Tim, about to do a backflip: oh fuck- OW
Tim: *passes out from the pain*
Jason, still laughing his ass off: Nice landing, Timmy!
Tim:
Jason: Timmy?
Tim:
Jason: Tim?
Jason: oh shit—

OP, go see a freaking chiropractor if you can afford it, please ToT

I DID DON’T WORRY LMAO

My mom actually used to work for a chiropractor as a receptionist, so he gives us a discount :) !

I have practiced some self-care and I’m doing better now kjsjsjskaja

I reread that one post from @mentallyunawareofpapaya (link) where Jason just sits with the Waynes on occasion but refuses to be acknowledged and I keep thinking about it in the context of Dick having hallucinations.

Like, he’s the one who’s “home” the least, so he’d likely be the last one in the loop about this whole situation. But since the Bats are The Bats about everything? He doesn’t get filled in. Ever.

So imagine Dick is visiting one night and goes to the Manor for dinner and Jason is just. There. But nobody is acknowledging him. So Dick Prone-To-Hallucinations Grayson makes the logical assumption that he isn’t real and I—

Dick, zoned out and staring at the “hallucination”: I miss Jason. Do you think he’d let me come visit?
Jason, suddenly being Perceived: *packing up his paperwork*
Tim: Aw, Dick, you broke the rule!
Dick: What rule?
Tim: …the Don’t Acknowledge Jason rule?
Tim: I’m surprised, you usually pick up on stuff like that.
Dick:
Dick: You guys see him, too?
Tim:
Jason:
Everyone else:
Bruce: Dick… what do you mean, “we can see him, too”?
Dick: I thought I was hallucinating again?
Dick: He’s not… That isn’t really Jason, right?
Bruce:
Dick:
Jason, not about to deal with this: aaand that’s my cue to leave.

Talia and Tim must have the most awkward relationship ever and i bet Jason and Damian find it hysterical.

Bruce: of course you remember Jason and Damian, and this is Tim, the previous Robin before Damian took over.

Talia: yes. we’ve… met.

Bruce, sensing tension: ?

Jason, fully aware and grinning widely: do you call him step-daddy?

Tim: fucks sake Jason he just tried to make me his wife that one time, i was never actually WITH Ra’s.

Damian, amused: it is fascinating that for a short period my mother almost became my technical niece, though.

Talia: Damian.

Tim: i hate this family

Jason: really? because this is the first time i’ve ever been actively excited to be here

Newly Robin Tim: Thanks for bringing me to my appointment, Dick
Dick, regretting not being closer to Jason but still avoiding Bruce as much as possible: No problem
Dentist: Timothy?
Tim: *goes back*
Dick: *chilling in the otherwise empty lobby*
Dentist: Hey, Dad, are we fine with using fluoride?
Dick: *barely 21, only 9 years older than Tim*
Dick: I— uh— I’m not his— I’m not dad
Dentist: Oh, sorry about that! I’ll just see if he has in the past, no worries!
Dick: okay
Dick, internally: Do I really look old enough to be his dad??? Does she think I would’ve been a teen parent???? Is she surprised I stayed????? Am I a GOOD dad???????

Bruce has a strict 'no metas/powers (except duke) allowed in Gotham' policy in place but it has a clause, BYOR (Bring Your Own Robin)

No one is allowed entry untill and unless they can produce their very own certified robin-shaped identity card

Whenever someone with even a hint of supernatural powers in them arrives at Gotham, they're first met with Bruce standing at the city border with a notepad in hand

Bruce: State your name and purpose.

Kon: Kon-el, here to hangout!

Bruce: Your Robin?

Kon, flourishing Tim from behind him: Ta-Da!

Tim, waves: Hey Bruce

Bruce: Approved, you may enter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: Name and purpose?

Hal: Here to investigate a case, Hal Jordan

Bruce: Your Robin?

Hal: I.... don't have one?

Bruce: Denied

Hal: What?! But-

Bruce: Denied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: Yes, Wally, where's your robin?

Wally: Oh shit lemme just- *zaps away and returns with Dick, who was in the midst of brushing his teeth, in a bridal carry*- Here!

Bruce, grumbling a little: Fine. Approved.

Dick: You gotta stop using me as a key already, man

Wally: Blame Bruce.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: Name and purpose?

Clark: Clark Kent, here for our monthly barbecue

Bruce: Robin?

Clark, producing an actual robin bird: Does this count?

Bruce:.....yes

Okay so I misread this at first, but imagine he does this for EVERY meta. Like, even just the nobodies and regular citizens, too 💀

Random Guy, flying into Gotham: wow, the smog is extra thick today
Batman: State your name and purpose.
Random Guy: holy shit, Batman?????
Batman: State your name and purpose.
Random Guy: uh, Steve? I live here?
Batman: Likely story… where’s your Robin?
Steve:
Steve: my fucking what
———
Some Chick, a registered empath in the Metahuman National Database: I regret so many things
Batman: State your name and purpose.
Some Chick: THE FUCK DID YOU COME FROM?????
Batman: Name and purpose.
Some Chick: I’m??? Ashlynn????
Batman: Why are you in Gotham?
Ashlynn: I got a full-ride to Gotham U and took it
Ashlynn: To be honest, I didn’t think I really deserved it, but seeing this place in person? No wonder they have to pay people to go here
Batman: Hn. Where is your Robin?
Ashlynn:
Ashlynn: I should’ve just settled for the Community College

Damian, being as nice as possible: Hi, could I ask how exactly does one accidentally set a lemon on fire? Dick, frowning and poking the burnt husk of the lemon: Microwave for 40 minutes Tim, about to tear his hair out: WHY WERE YOU MICROWAVING A LEMON?! Dick, still pouting: I read boiling lemons helps cover up bad smells and I wanted to cover up the scent of burnt oranges, but I didn’t own any pots… Jason, hands clasp in anger: Did you burn an orange too? HOW?! Dick, sad boi: Microwave for 40 minutes :(

family drama

Jason: [bursting into room, Damian in his arms, anguished] It’s a violent case of hiccups! Will he live, Doc?

Damian: [kicking] Let–hic–go–hic–Todd!

Dick: [drops everything, becomes very solumn, ear to Damian’s heart] He needs medicine badly. Nurse!

Tim: [salutes and grabs water bottle] Of course sir, right away sir!

Dick: Hold him down.

Jason: You got it.

Damian: [struggling] I’m–hic–going–hic–to hang you–hic–from your–hic–thumbs!

Dick: [stonily] Grab his nose, Nurse.

Tim: He’ll bite me, sir.

Dick: Get yourself together, man! Are you a goddamn nurse or not?

Tim: Aye aye, sir! [pinches Damian’s nose]

Damian: [voice muffled] Hang–hic–you above–hic–PIRANHAS–hic!

Jason: The patient is delusional!

Tim: Hurry, doctor!

Dick: [squirts water bottle into Damian’s mouth] LET US CAST OUT THIS ILLNESS!

Damian: [angry gargling]

Jason: AGAIN!

Dick: [squirts eight times in sequence]

Damian: [choking]

Tim: Best to put him out of his misery, doc

Dick: Keep hope, nurse!

Damian: [sputtering] I DESPISE ALL OF YOU!

Jason: He is healed!

All three: Hallelujah!

All three: [parade to Bruce’s study singing hymns, burst in and drop Damian in Bruce’s lap] THE POWER OF MODERN MEDICINE!

Bruce: [looks at boys]

Bruce: [looks at Damian]

Bruce: Why is your brother soaking wet?

Dick, Jason, Tim:

Damian: Hic!

Dick, Jason, Tim: [pounce]

Damian: [latching onto Bruce like a spider monkey] FATHER NO HELP ME

Bruce:

Bruce:

Bruce: I’m changing Robin’s uniform to neon pink.

Damian: [gapes]

Damian: [softly, full of loathing] I will disown you.

Bruce: Are your hiccups gone?

Damian: I will not have it! Do you hear me? I will not!

Dick: His hiccups are gone.

Damian: Neon pink doesn’t camouflage well into the night, I couldn’t–

Tim: What, and red, green, and yellow do?

Damian: SHUT UP DRAKE THIS DOESN’T INVOLVE YOU

Bruce: [nods wisely] Alternative medicine.
