I'm Just Imagining If/when The Other Bats Find Out. Like Tim Makes One Too Many "unwanted Child" Jokes

I love this.

DPxDC Prompt where Danny, Sam, and Tucker know more about Bruce Wayne's life than they'd ever like to, thanks to Sam being forced to attend several Wayne galas, and overhearing entirely too much gossip from her parents. They know that Bruce Wayne has adopted three sons, all of which have black hair and blue eyes.

When things start to get worse in Amity, they sometimes joke that Danny should be the next Bruce Wayne adoptee. Danny laughs along with the jokes, adding fuel to the fire. One way or another, there's eventually a bet.

It's a stupid thing, sticking his neck out in Gotham to try and get Bruce Wayne to notice and adopt him (when he already has parents…), but Danny's here for the chaos. He's not sure what he'll do if he succeeds, except for maybe fake his death and run like hell.

Only… somewhere along the line, Danny starts to… actually feel welcome and safe.

You try, of course, to cause personal deviation for this hero, but you can't break what's already broken. Eventually, and after a nasty fight, you knock him out and take him to your lair to continue to peer into his mind, trying to figure out how this hero came to be and how to hurt them. As you dig deeper into their mind, you discover unimaginable pain that had caused them to be such a mental wreck.

Hero(waking up): Where am I?

Villain, calmly: You are in my lair.

H: What? Get me out of these ropes or I'll -

V: or you'll what? Go back to your league? The people who caused so much loss for you?

H: They did no such thing.

V: Oh? You don't blame them for what they did? Causing your family to get buried under the rubble that day?

H, in tears: No. You're wrong. It was you who destroyed the building. They did nothing wrong.

V: Quit lying to yourself. They weren't even fighting me, or any other villain that day. Tell me, kid, do you think they even considered going back for your family? Do you think they ever considered the collateral damage they caused? You're not the only one to suffer this way, and I'd hate for another one to suffer the same fate I have.

H: silence

V: I'm just like you, suffering under the rules of heros who don't think of the people, acting as the saviors they think they are.

H: You're a villain!

V: So I am. What of it? I've done such wrongs in my life, but I have a new goal in mind. If I'm still labeled as one after what I'm about to do then so be it. But I can only do it with your help. Join me, and maybe we can solve this problem together or die trying.

You are a telepathic supervillain that uses their powers to create the perfect personalised hellscape for every hero. But when you peer into the mind of the newest hero you find that they are a complete mental wreck and honestly you just feel sorry for them.

It didn't take long for Jim to get information on his niece and nephew from Batman. In fact, it came quicker than expected. From what Jim heard, both a teacher at the local highschool and Jim's niece had been documenting most everything, from the kids' home lives, to the wreckless placement of some of dangerous inventions around the house, to some concerning medical records, to even the teacher commenting on a few injuries Jim's nephew had suspiciously sustained. Batman even gave Jim a few resources to take custody of his niece and nephew if and when he needed to put his foot forward. That was enough evidence to storm up to Arkansas to meet with Alicia.

Jim met Alicia at her remote cabin, evidence in hand and ready to fight for the kids he never met. Alicia was both surprised and relieved Jim was there, and even more relieved that he had evidence to back them up. It didn't matter for either of them where Jim got it, it's a matter that he got it. It was a relief that despite the bad blood between them, they put that aside for these kids.

While discussing the rundown of how these things work, Jim got to hear about Maddie's kids from Alicia, their personalities, and what Jim might expect from them. There was an understanding, too, that if either of them took custody of the kids, it should be Jim. Alicia wasn't exactly in the best position to take care of the kids, despite knowing her better, and though Jim lives in Gotham of all places, he still had the best resources between the two of them to take care of them.

Jasmine was the first of the two siblings to meet Jim, visiting Alicia not long after Jim first showed up. Alicia was the one to tell her about her Commotioner uncle and immediately took the chance to meet him. Jim mentioned later to Alicia that her and Babs would get along great. Daniel, on the other hand was a little more skeptical. It wasn't that he was wary of him, Jasmine assured, Danny was just worried that Jim would take them right then and there. He had a connection to their hometown and worried something might happen if he left.

Jim knew Danny was a vigilante the moment he met him. He didn't know who he was, but Jim had been around vigilantes long enough to know the signs. Jim didn't press him on it however. He made that mistake once before with his own daughter. He wanted these kids to trust him, and he wanted to make damn sure they were safe.

DPxDC prompt where Jim Gordon lost contact with his sisters, Maddie and Alicia, some time ago.

Maddie was always the reckless sort, always one to run off chasing, well-- ghosts. As for Alicia, she'd never gone very far from their hometown, and they'd been on bad terms since Jim left for Gotham and joined the police force.

They drifted apart, with Jim hardly aware of the milestones in his sisters' lives. Alicia was hardly one to use the phone and would never quite give Jim a straight answer to Maddie's whereabouts. Considering some… legal troubles she and her now-husband had in college, Jim could only assume what she'd gotten up to over the years.

Still, Jim was always busy. Life went on, and he laid down his roots in Gotham. There was never a good time to head back to Arkansas. Never enough drive to…

That is, until Alicia called him one day, for the first time in years.

"Hey, Jimmy," she started, nervous in a way she never was. "I know we don't talk much, but I'm real worried about Maddie's kids."

15. Physical contact is off limits unless he initiates first. If you try to touch him without his permission or without approaching you first, you will get bit or punched.

16. Do not ask him how he died. Dying is a sensitive subject to us already. Someone who already died does not need to be reminded of said death.

I’m writing this in the perspective of the citizens of Amity Park, just an fyi

Rules for interacting with Phantom

1. Don’t go looking for him. Phantom knows when someone is looking for him and will avoid you at all costs.

2. It’s suggested to learn a little sign language since Phsntom with randomly switch from English to ghost speak. This change seems uncomfortable in most cases and causes him distress when he can’t communicate what he’s trying to say.

3. If he picks you up or grabs your hand and starts pulling on you, don’t freak out. He’s trying to move you out of harm’s way. Follow him until he lets go.

4. If he approaches you at night and asks if he can stargaze with you, say yes. You won’t be in trouble if you say no, but we’re trying to get him used to humans.

5. If you spot him, don’t go out of your way to approach him. He doesn’t like that. He’ll notice you coming.

6. If you spot him and he’s near something you need, such as the entrance to your workplace or your campfire, simply say hi to him and continue to avoid startling him. He’s been reported to conjure up ice spikes from the ground around him or shoot ectoplasm when he’s startled, so avoid doing so if you can.

7. If you notice the Fentons near where Phantom is, try to redirect them. Phantom is our only real line of defense against other ghosts who want to cause harm.

8. If you hear a loud, haunting wail, don’t worry. That’s possibly Phantom’s most powerful weapon, and it’s highly effective against other ghosts. This is usually taken as a sign that the town is now safe again. Do not approach Phantom after he uses this power unless you want to get punched in the face. This power takes up most of his strength and leaves him vulnerable, which makes him extra cautious and scared of both humans and ghosts. If he’s injured and you want to help, it’s best to go in preparing for retaliation. (Extra warning: Phantom’s saliva contains ectoplasm, which is essentially acid for anything living. Be VERY careful, because he will try to bite as a last resort. Try to make sure he knows you’re there to help before touching him.)

9. If you’re a ghost hunter and you harm Phantom, and you hear a loud groan in the distance that oddly reminds you of a broken grandfather clock, apologize and do what you can to fix your mistake immediately. Phantom isn’t all alone. He has allies, and some of them, you never want to meet.

10. If he approaches you and strikes up conversation, it’s your choice to respond or not.

I'm kinda in agreement honestly. Those two are the two I always go back to when I want to read something/melt my heart. I like your other fics, don't get me wrong, but those two have a special place in my heart.

Whenever someone interacts with A Broken Sort of Normal in some way it makes me a little melty. I still think it and Shadow of a Bat are my best two fics from an artistic perspective.

Et tu, Brute?

Spread the word man.

honestly if ur a new user from twitter. u don’t HAVE to have a whole blog set up immediately for people to not block you. like just change ur icon to a cartoon character or something and make a post that says like. “hey i’m new i’m just lurking here for a bit to get my bearings before i start posting/reblogging” and ur fine just like, make it clear you’re not a bot yk

though i do reccomend starting to reblog things eventually, it’s a good way to keep all the stuff you like saved in one place so you can look back on it later, especially if you tag stuff. while the search function isn’t perfect, tagging stuff you post/reblog makes it easier to find. a bit more organised than the bookmark feature on twitter at least :p

DCxDP idea

The Ancients are just the Endless helping Time/CW and/or protecting their own realms.

This. The Duke/Danny ship is so underused. (I might come back to this later)

Feeling a bit angsty so I had this idea.

Danny is dating one of the Bats/Birds, and everything is going great, amazing even! They know each other secrets (from powers to everything etc), they have a wonderful place to live (even if its in Gotham), Danny is in college on the way to becoming a space engineer (and he does side jobs for unrestful ghosts), he's actually getting sleep again since leaving Amity Park, gets along with their friends and family (those who Danny or his partner still talk to, up to the writer), there is even talk about marriage and perhaps adoption/kids in the future between Danny and the Bat/Bird he's dating!

Everything is setting up for a good life in his future, something Danny didn't think could have after his accident. He was happy finally, and currently packing up his old apartment because he's moving in with his partner in a few days.

So he felt like his core was being pulled out of him when he opens his apartment door one day receiving a knock to find his parents, who had hadn't seen since they kicked him out of the house after coming clean about being Phantom (their words of anger and denial that their son was 'dead' and now a monster, still hurt)

Sure they didn't attack him or proclaim he's dead but still their last words and anger HURT.

Danny didn't give them a chance to open their mouths, both looking nervous and guilty, before he slams the door close and turns invisible, grabs his phone, and fly's out of his apartment to his partner's place in a panic attack.

His partner, isn't happy.
