Listen, we know the Batfamily/the Waynes can be deeply dysfunctional, full of chaos and trauma. And naturally, a reader who's just a civilian compared to them and hasn't gone through the same shit as them is prone to be neglected. Not necessarily because the Batfam doesn't love them, but because having any sort of normalcy in a life like theirs is way too hard so they're absent often and fail to be there (I know the Neglected Reader fanfics have many variants and interpretations for this and I LOVE them all qlwjwb but if we stick a tiny bit to canon I doubt any of them would outright hate/be indifferent a Reader simply for being civilian or the "normal one" or just for no reason at all. It's fun to read, however, if the Reader has been around the family since their childhood and recognised as Bruce's child since the beginning, there's no way she's disliked. Not even by Damian...once he gets his character development naturally)

I think the neglect hits better and harder when it comes out of a place of love that's just not enough to fill the gaps. The Batfam cares about her, and she cares back, but there's always something bigger going on. Gotham needs them. The world needs them. And since they're all crime fighters EXCEPT Reader, she's the one who gets left behind and has to deal with cancelled plans, absence, loneliness and the crippling guilt of feeling this way because she's been told it's selfish. She should be proud of her family, of their sacrifice, of all the good they do. What right does she have to complain about feeling abandoned when they're out there every day saving people and risking their lives while she stays safe? Hell, they're fighting to protect her as well. And they try to make up for it. They really try. Hanging out with her, bringing gifts, asking her about her life whenever they can...but they're stretched thin and Reader still feels left out because she can't be part of the bond the Batfam share as whole. All crime fighters, all involved in the same cause, all trained under Batman and going through the same shit for years, together. There are too many stories she doesn't know, and probably will never because they want to keep her out of it "for her sake". She can't fully connect to them in most aspects. She's a spectator of her own family's bond.

And again, it's not for lack of love. Totally the opposite. It's just in this case, love isn't enough.

Now this is while talking about the Batfamily. But actually, these guys aren't even the mosr dysfunctional family of DC. You know who really has the title? The Arrowfamily. Now these guys are canonically a mess and dysfunctional in all ways. Even more than the Batfamily. If you think Batsis has a bad time with neglect, you don't want to know what Arrowsis goes through. It's worse.

There's also the Superfamily, the Flashfamily, the Amazons (because yes I also have ideas for them too), the Lanterns. Shit, even the Aquafamily at this point. And the Justice League has more members that could be used for this theme..

Imagine a group of kids from each of these families, all of them neglected but in different flavours, and becoming friends/comfort group because there's no one else in the world that can relate to the problems they have, to what they feel and why. Their situations are pretty damn unique and only can rely on each other to understand.

In my head it goes like this:

Batsis (obviously), Arrowsis, Wonderboy, Flashsis, Supersis, Green Lanterns' brats, Atom's son and Aquagirl. While their backstories are very different, at their core it's the same issue: They're all extremely ordinary children from extraordinary families, who have grown up as part of a legacy they can't actually be part of. Neglected by accident, lonely and unable to actually complain about their feelings because they have no right. Their parents and siblings are heroes. Symbols of justice and goodwill. They carry the fate of humanity and even the galaxy on their shoulders. They can't ask them for more. It's not fair. They should be grateful for whatever they can get.

• supersis who’s like 5 years younger than clark

• she joined the family when she was just a few years old

• i headcanon that she was also adopted and while martha and jon didn’t expect to take in another kid, they’re so glad they did

• she and clark were a super-chaotic duo (pun intended why not)

• 9 times out of 10 whatever crazy situation they found themselves in was her fault

• the house was filled with his space posters and rocket toys and her tiaras and plastic dress-up heels (we all had those growing up right)

• ma loved having a girl to dress-up and to do her hair

• she’s pa’s princess. like he is WRAPPED around her finger to this day

• but despite loving girly things she was 100% able to run with the boys

• she loved sports and exploring the farm

• she would leave for school with a cute dress and a neat ponytail and come back with the skirt having dirt stains and the hair tie hanging on for dear life 😭

• she didn’t mind getting dirty and helps out with a lot of stuff around the house. learned to tend to the animals, fix the barn doors, work on the tractor, etc.

• usually when pa was teaching clark something she was right there too

• and there were lots of nights where they all would stargaze as a family

• she’s named some of the animals they have and they’re all wild names

• one of their chickens is named dolly like dolly parton and there’s a cow named chad michael murray bc she was crushing on him from the cinderella story movie LOL

• chad michael murray does NOT like clark but loves her lolol and no one knows why

• she loved to go wherever clark was

• and of course in older brother fashion it annoyed him sometimes but it’s fine

• when his powers came in, she heavily took advantage of them

• when she couldn’t sleep she’d just whisper things to clark to annoy him

“go to SLEEP”

“clark hush both of you go to sleep”

• even in present day she’ll ask him to use his powers on things that definitely don’t need them

“can you take me to the store pleaseeee”

“take the truck?”

“that’ll take too long :( ”

• ma doesn’t say anything when she sees them flying back with shopping bags

• she gets extremely homesick when she leaves the farm for college but doesn’t want to admit because she doesn’t want ma and pa to worry

• cut to clark showing up to her apartment with ma’s cooking that’s still warm

“…fine come in but just because you have food.”

• she balances home and work better as she graduates and moves to metropolis to her own place

• clowns him for drinking milk all of the time

“dude haven’t you grown enough 😒”

• he’s her victim for all of her viral recipes she tries. or pranks or online slang that she learns

*looks at the questionable drink* “this might be what actually kills me”

“hush you’re indestructible”

“but why are we testing it?? 😭”

• also yes she uses those country phrases of “golly” and “gosh” and “what the hey” but not as often as him

clark: *drops his keys* golly 😒

supersis: you sound like mr. rogers

• loves lois, but of course is hesitant at first

• because this city girl might not understand their upbringing and she knows how mean people can be and how they can think others are less than (she’s a smallville truther and will not take slander)

• but obviously lois isn’t like that and they become really close

• it makes clark’s head spin, really

• he’ll go to lois’ after a long superhero fight to say hi and they’re just sitting on the couch watching tv with face masks on

• clark:

them:

supersis: *sips her soda* you look awful

• lois is amazed to see this more brotherly side of clark. like he’ll literally be the perfect gentleman with her and then sees his sister come crash at his place again and just goes “parasite”

• with how much she’s around and will just barge into both of their apartments lois jokes that she’s their first kid

• even though they’re adults their dynamic is childish at times

• she’ll take the rest of his food when he’s not looking or he’ll flick her head while walking by

• “OW?!”

“clark!”

“i-come on i was just joking!”

(he now realizes he’s outnumbered for the rest of his life)

• basically the way his voice got high and exasperated at “come on lois, you know that one speCIFICALLY irritates me!”

• yeah she has him reacting like that all of the time

• but they get each other. sometimes she’ll get to her apartment and see him sitting on the couch in his battered suit just staring at the wall. or he’ll knock on her door still in his work clothes and just walk in without a word

• she knows not to make remarks about how her couch is probably dirty now or how he looks seconds away from having a breakdown. she’s the one he counts on to let him have space when he doesn’t want to see their parents or lois yet

“wanna talk?”

“no.”

“hungry?”

“no.”

“wanna hear about my day?”

“…sure.”

• and as much as lois has suggested it in the past, she’s learned that both clark and his sister working at the daily planet would be disASTROUS

• like the building might burn down by lunchtime

• loves wearing makeup snd getting her nails done

• like sure she’s a farm girl who couldn’t enjoy that when she was out working with the animals but she loves to be a little fancy

• the same way supersis won’t stand for smallville slander, she won’t stand for superman slander

• she’s over here fighting herself from snapping because someone just insulted superman and she can’t say anything

• lois and clark have heard plenty of her rants about it

• ofc when they get married she’s a bridesmaid

• also she was so sick of him being nervous about the proposal

“if you don’t do it i will. i will literally ask her to marry you”

“you better not”

• obviously she doesn’t she’s a romantic and would never ruin the proposal like that

• she talks him down from losing his cool at the wedding

“oh, i can’t believe this is really happening-”

“clark, stop. you love her and she loves you. that doesn’t change.”

“you’re right.” he sighs, letting his head hang before standing up straight.

“good.” they share a hug and she moves to straighten his bow tie. “now go give me a sister.”

• when she finds out that they’re expecting she’s ECSTATIC

• “I’M GONNA BE AN AUNTIE 😭”

• when she meets her nephew she sobs and clark is like 🧍🏻‍♂️

“you’re acting like you gave birth to him”

“shut up he’s so beautiful 😭😭😭”

she holds the baby in her arms and looks up at them and is just so happy

“clark” *sniff* “he looks nothing like you 🥹”

“shut up.”

• she works at a museum for a time and loves giving tours and sharing information about exhibits with guests

• makes her feel like she’s doing something good

• lowkey feels lousy sometimes when she compares herself to clark because he does all these great things and she wants to make a difference too

• has been the victim to his pep talks multiple times

• her and kara are CHAOTIC

• kara will come visit and she’ll take her shopping and out to get their nails and hair done and just to be girls

• she’s the second person krypto will listen to after kara

• even though she’s adjusted to the city life and loves it, she never forgets her rural kansas roots

• usually keeps her upbringing to herself because people don’t suspect it

• and then everyone’s like “how does she know so much about mechanics” or “how can she move that heavy thing like it’s nothing”

Ooooo Interesting idea.

Warning: suggestive but no smut

Another complete mission done and the post mission meeting was coming to a close and you just wanted to take your shower and go to bed. Nightwing finally nodded and you started walking up to your room along with everyone else.

“Hey, can I talk to you,” he asked and you turned around. The others filed out around you.

“You were reckless. You could have gotten hurt today-“

“I don’t have a scratch on me-“

“And if they had Kryptonite or magic, you’d be dead,” he finished his sentence. “You need training before I let you go back out in the field. You’ll get someone hurt. Mandatory remedial training starts tomorrow.”

“Wing- really?” You protested.

“Yep! And I have just the person to punch you into shape,” Dick said with a positivity that was purposefully annoying.

“Who?”

“Black Bat,” he said while leaving the room.

“… Black Bat?” You mumbled after he left. So you’d worked with her a few times. She’s an insanely good fighter and her outfit is super scary. And you might have a tiny huge crush on her.

So, I got my second Covid shot yesterday and while I didn’t feel much of the effects then, I’m feeling them today, and I don’t want to write any fics because it’s too much effort and everything in my body hurts.

Instead, I decided to compile a list of all the character inserts I do, just so everyone can have a bit of a better background to them. Let’s start with the Batfamily, then we’ll move to the Superfamily, then Flashfamily, and finally the Lanternfamily.

-------------------------------

Some people say their dad is like Superman.

Well, mine is. 

From the first day, I was born he had always been at my side. No matter what he would be there in a second. 

The moment I took my first steps.

The moment I said my first words.

The moment I found out my mom had died. 

 No matter what he had always been there for me the moment I called. And when my mom Lana died in that car crash he was there even more. I don’t really remember those days but Ma Kent says that I use to cry a lot and wouldn’t let my dad go anywhere clinging to him with all my might. (Which considering my super-strength it pretty strong.) 

Even when things got better and I started to grow up and my dad went to metropolis he would still come every night to read me a bedtime story. Always making sure I had a chance to tell him about my day and he could tell him about his. It didn’t matter where he was or what he was doing. He would fly halfway across the world (sometimes the universe) so he could curl up in bed with me. 

“I love our family daddy” 

“I love our family to wildflower.” 

That was his nickname for me. Wildflower. Because I was always running around the Kent farm barefoot and free. Hair messy filled with flowers, feathers, and god knows what else I found. I never cared what anyone else thought of me, too busy riding bareback on my horse or hide among the cows or sing to the pigs with the guitar my grandparents had gotten me for my 10th birthday.

I was a wildflower. 

Just a country girl with a guitar. Laying in a field of flowers that my horse and I had raced too. Strumming a few cords while he ate his fill of the sweet grass.  

Just a normal girl and a guitar. 

Except for every night when your dad would fly home to tell me all the stories about his grand adventures. Sometimes we would fly around Smallville casting stars. Other days we practiced using my powers so I didn’t have any (or as many) slip-ups at school. It was as if I lived two lives. One where I was just your girl next door and the other was the daughter of the most powerful man in the world. 

Dad would always leave with a kiss and a promise. One day he would take me on one of his adventures. One day he would show me the wonders of the world. 

One day. 

But then one day the adventure came to me. 

Moody with black hair and eyes that looked so much like dad’s. Conner stood in the doorway of my grandparent’s house hands shoved in his pockets looking like he wanted to be anywhere but here. 

But here was where he was. 

“Hi, I’m Y/N you’re sister.” He looked down at the hand I had held out not moving. Maybe he didn’t know what to do. Dad had mentioned that he was only a few days old. 

“Be nice” I heard my dad say under his breath. Letting out a grunt the boy took my hand. 

“Conner.” 

“Well come on Conner I’ll show you around!” I sang pulling him forward floating only a few inches from the floor with excitement. Maybe he hadn’t warmed up to me yet but I would wear him down. 

If I was good at anything it was wearing things down until they liked me. 

Besides the best thing that could ever happen to me did. 

I had a brother. 

-GET TAGGED!- 

Hey it’s, Mia, all the superkids got kidnapped help?

Oh and superman ain’t gonna do shit
