elon musk admitted under threat of perjury that this is his burner account

“Bruce wouldn’t call his kids any cutesy nicknames y’all are cringe” first of all Bruce canonically refers to children as “honey” and “sweetheart” as BATMAN, so, close your mouth, monster breath

Second of all, Thomas Wayne called him everything from “Bunny, honey, sweetheart, baby, bambino, sweetie” to “Gumdrop, honeybee, amore, babe, “ and you can die trying to take it away from me

Dick is already "chum", but I can also see Bruce calling him "birdie" or being the originator of "pretty bird".

Barbara is "my dear".

Jason is "baby boy", no matter how much he yells about hating it.

Tim is "darling", which started as an in-joke about the way socialites talk to him and Bruce, but is now just what they call each other.

Steph is "bestie" bc Bruce 100% learned GenZ slang and horrifies Steph with it at every chance. High pitch intonation and all.

Cass is "butterfly", bc she deserves to be called something nice.

Duke is "sunshine" for self-evident reasons.

Kate gets "sweetheart", also part-ironically but with genuine warmth.

When Bruce calls Damian "habibi" out of costume, they're going to snuggle and watch a movie - in costume, he's about to start running for his life.

i’m not as mean as I would like to be. and I really wish people appreciated that more

when I block people it's because they're annoying and I can't hire someone to kill them. when people block me though it's because they're obsessed with me and they needed to block me or else they'd jerk off to how funny I am for the rest of time
