Family Dinners - dpxdc

"Holy shit, you're Bruce Wayne!" Danny gaped, jabbing a finger at the man sitting at the head of the table.

The bustling dining room goes silent as everyone turns to look at him.

"Danny, who did you think was going to be here?" Tim asks, disbelief plain in his voice and Danny feels his face flush red.

"Sorry, I, uh, I guess I just never put it together. Tim Drake-Wayne. Wayne Manor. It, uh, makes sense now." He laughs sheepishly and scrubs at his neck before slumping back down into his chair.

Angstier you say? I have a thought for that.

Danny has a habit of muttering the code when he's super stressed, exhausted, and/or grievously injured. It's his safety net, his last hope, a fervent prayer. Being able to recite it makes him feel just the tiniest bit better when everything else has gone to shit. Sometimes he starts reciting it without realizing it. It just happens, instively at this point, whenever his mind slips too far away in pain or panic.

Mind slipping away in pain or panic is defenitely the most accurate way of describing the situation when Danny gives the Bats the code.

Wait, can I play with this version? (Love the original, too! Made me smile and laugh.)

-----

Danny bit back a scream as the blast from a GIW gun caught him in the thigh. He was almost there.

He grit his teeth and flew faster, ignoring the noises of the white vans and their weapons. Trying to forget that his parents had made more than a few of them.

Gotham. He'd be safe in Gotham.

Reblogging this again cause I just realized the time travel identification code is (approximately) GAYTIME 42 63 28 1:65-9.

Haven't put together a meaning for the numbers yet, but given the thought OP must have put in to which greek characters they used (because there is no way that was a coincidence, I see you OP); I wouldn't be surprised if there was some cipher to the rest of it.

1:65-9 reminds me of the format of reference numbers for bible passages 🤔

Quick search doesn't really reveal anything (possibly a passage from the book of Isaiah? It references descendants? Not really sure it fits tho) so maybe not.

Hoping op will bless us with insight because I wanna know now haha

Also love all of this, it's amazing ❤️❤️❤️

@ailithnight @spacedace shit I simultaneously can't believe someone spotted it and also that it took someone this long to spot it 🤣 well done!!! The numbers don't actually mean anything aside from Danny's creative way of remembering shit

GAYTIME 42 63 28 1:65-9 comes from an earlier draft of the scene (draft is a strong word, daydream would be better), but I thought it was... sweeter/angstier to have the code ingrained in his mind because of his constant repetition, like a safety blanket

Today’s project was to create the exact opposite of a Rickroll. I think I’ve succeeded.

this is the funniest fucking tag this post could’ve gotten

@matzahball

For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner–I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

great poast every one👍

I have drawn him…. The High Geologist

Can’t believe he’s ace

He is now And here’s the photo evidence:

hey guys…https://twitter.com/MatthewLillard/status/1322648148364324864 so does this make it canon?

the high geologist has ascended

every time i see this post it gets…. better? but also weirder.

I always gotta reblog the High Geologist once in a while.

I love this too much.

Reblog to get to look at a cool rock from the High Geologist

I love the organic insanity that is Tumblr.

But SIR that's my emotional support unedited 8000+ words of an in-progress fic I can't publish yet because it's not chronological

Trope: Enemy to Caretaker

See also: Unconventional Caretakers.

Reasons Why I Love This Trope So Goddamn Much (not anywhere near a description of the totality of my feelings on this topic, but a start):

- The vulnerability.  The sheer terror of being exposed in front of someone you hate (who hates you).  The panic and stoicism of attempting to cover up the pain until it’s too much.  Until you can’t.  Until the agony is worse than letting them see your tears.

- The mistrust.  The constant second-guessing.  The suspicion of every move they make.  The concocting of escape plans, one after the other, because how can you tell the difference between being restrained for your own good and being captured?  The cuffs sure look the same.

- The surrender.  Hitting rock bottom.  Watching you give in and knowing that you’ve given up on everything because if you can’t fight against your enemy, you can’t fight against anyone.

- The unexpected compassion.  A hand where you expect a fist.  A bandage where you expect a break.  Snappish words and voices raised in anger and understanding, finally, that their bark is worse than their bite.

- The lack of safety.  There is no one to catch you when you fall.  No one who’s safe, who’s reliable, who’s trustworthy.  You are hurt and alone and you curl up and wait for the blow.  The slow relearning of trust.  The hesitant steps towards hope.  (The shattering, sometimes.)

Enemy.  To.  Goddamn.  Caretaker.

Please.

jason shows up at the manor exclusively to hand out knives and leave again. then he waits gleefully for the angry phone calls to start. 😂 (insp)

ごめん寝

why do i imagine the batfam finally meeting the league and then one of them going 'how the fuck do you have so many kids?' and little shit Jason goes 'well, when two people love each other very much...' and because Bruce doesn't wanna listen to this, he tiredly reminds Jason: 'you're adopted' which naturally means that Jason is going to dramatically pretend that this is the first time he's heard that and how could Bruce keep this from him, much to the horror of the league and the exasperation of Bruce

the older Jason is, the funnier

like, it would be hilarious as a fresh baby robin, with the ink on the adoption papers not even dried yet

but imagine having all his yougner siblings there too, reacting just as dramatic to the news. jason is fake crying, being comforted by cass, while steph is pointing at batman like "how dare you say that? how dare you single out our brother like this? next thing I know is that Red Robin is also adopted, or Black Bat, or Signal."

Bruce: "they are"

multiple gasps of horror. Cass is clinging to Jason, Tim also starts crying, Duke starts yelling "how could you lie to us like this? how could you keep this from us? what's next? Batgirl is also adopted?"

"Batgirl isn't mine at all"

Cue Steph's outraged yelling. "How could you? I grew up in your cave!"

But Robin takes the cake. "everything we knew is a lie," he says dramatically, sniffing like he's about to cry. "father is not our true father. we must embark on a journey to discover our true parentage"

Batman, gritting his teeth. "Robin, you know you are the blood son. You like to remind everyone of this at least twice a week." He has no idea how his children got his youngest to play along

(Dick promised him another cow. Batcow needs a friend)

not enough investigations done into the comedy potential of dcxdp. fixing that :D

danny's the most 'guy who can't leave well enough alone' ever

don't let danny fool you with his innocent geek act. that's a working ectogun that he made to look like a phaser. he's absolutely a geek but he's not innocent

Dick: I thought you were a caring citizen.

Danny: Yeah?

Dick: You just said that there’s animated food having a turf war in your fridge.

Danny: Yeah?

Dick: You don’t see anything wrong with that?

Danny: *thinking* …You know, I kinda forgot most people don’t deal with that. It’s been happening to me for as long as I can remember. I completely forgot it was unusual.

Dick:

Danny:

Dick: Mind if I get your name?

I just thought this was cute <3

DC refuses to give us good Batfam Bros content so dangit I guess I will
