i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

Bruce: *sitting at the bat computer, completely unaware of his surroundings*

Dick: how long has he been there?

Tim: six hours

Dick: how on earth are we supposed to get him away?

Jason: don’t worry, I got this

*upstairs in kitchen*

Jason: *holding baby Danny* do your thing

Baby Danny: *nods before biting his own hand and starting to cry* Daddy!!!

Bruce: *bursting through the room still in batsuit* I’m here! Where’s my baby?!?

Jason: works every time

Reverse Robins AU

Bruce knows of Damian from the beginning, he and Thalia co-parent. To ensure he gets shared custody, he needs to take parenting classes and go to therapy (or maybe Thalia makes him go, as a condition or something). This makes him a pretty good dad, and Damian a very well raised dude.

He knows of Tim, but the only time he actually interacts with him is after Joker kidnaps him and turns him into Joker Jr. Tim gets adopted, because he cannot rejoin society as a crazy kid who almost murdered Batman and did kill the Joker.

Jason steals the tires and joins the Batfamily. He is now a little brother to one pretty well-adjusted Damian and an absolutely crazy Tim, until they can develop the right medication. He is allowed to blossom and exist, and he doesn't leave for Ethiopia (let's be real, the Joker never stays dead, no matter what) because he has loving and smart brothers who 1) have League training, so can spot a trap a mile away and b) can sniff out the Joker from a mile away due to being incredibly well aquatinted with his bullshit thanks to extensive torture and a dad he can talk to without fighting.

Cass gets adopted the same way she does in the comic, I might be wrong, but I think she's independent from the Robins.

Dick gets adopted the same way as well, but he gets to stay a kid with a childhood for a little bit longer, because he has big brothers and gets to be a cuddly child.

J’ohn and Clark are doing everything they can to control the bleeding but there’s just so much. His kids are all around him trying to get him to stay awake. Terrified this will be the last time they see their father.

But off to the side something catches Bruce’s attention, he turns his head and gasps.

“No..” Bruce tenses causing more blood to leave his body. “What are you talking about Bruce? No what?” He doesn’t acknowledge Tim, it doesn’t even seem like he heard him speak.

Bruce is coughing up blood still looking into the distance. “I can’t.. I can’t leave.” The kids freak out. “Bruce you’re not leaving us. Just hold on! Please!” Dick calls out. Once again, he doesn’t hear them.

“Mama..” Tears are falling from Bruce’s eyes. “Mama.. I’m tired. I’m so tired mama..”Everyone freezes. Not a word was spoken, scared that their worst nightmare is coming true.

Bruce is seeing Martha, she’s calling to her son. He’s done enough she tells him, he can rest. He can be with her and Thomas again. They can be a family again.

And god how he wants that. He’s so tired. And he wants his mother.. He’s never gotten over the want of his mother’s arms. She’s telling him it’s okay to let go, to rest.

But he can’t..

He’s in so much pain but he can’t leave the family he created behind. He’s not ready to do that. Will never be ready to do that.

He can’t leave them.. He can’t leave Alfred.. He hasn’t told Clark how he feels. Hasn’t seen them grow up and find partners. He’s not ready to give that up. He wants to be there for everything.

Be there for them like Martha and Thomas weren’t for him.

“Bruce please! Come on, hold on for us! Please hold on!” Someone cry’s in the background. But he’s focused on the elegance of Martha’s face.

She tells him he can come home to her. She opens her arms for him to join her.

“Mama… I can’t. Have to stay. My family.. I have to stay. I can’t.. go with you mama.. I have- I have to stay. I’m not ready..”

She understands, if she could’ve stayed, she would have. She didn’t have a choice. But he does, and he’s choosing to stay. She can wait for him a little longer.

He has a family to protect. And right now she has to let them protect her baby. She comes forward and kisses his forehead. Tells him she loves him and she’ll wait until he’s ready, and slowly disappears.

Bruce looks up and before he falls unconscious he see’s his children in distress hovering over him. They’re saying things to him, but he can’t hear it. But he’s so happy he can stay.
