Saw someone wondering about how the buildings in gotham are chipped from years of the bats grappling everywhere and am now imagining
- the bats swing around all the time but in certain areas they tend to parkour instead of grapple
- after a couple of them have close calls of falling, gothamites realise its bc the buildings are too weak in places to use the hooks safely anymore
- in starts in one neighborhood but quickly spreads throughout gotham; people get into the habit of checking their roofs for chips and cracks and start painting them
- different places do it different ways, some people use bright neon colours, an apartment block keeps a tin of glow-in-the-dark paint in the rooftop garden for anyone to use, one children's shelter fills the chips in with glitter glue
- slowly but surely the gotham skyline becomes a starry night with stars of paint and colour, marking the weakpoints so they can be seen even in the darkest of the city's nights
Omniscient reader's gunpoint 😭
Several people who don't read the comics seem to get ideas about characters and how they act. It's fine when you're doing to characters you know about, but for characters you don't know about, not so much.
Please note: This post is not meant to gate keep anyone from comics, MCU or any other Marvel related products.
#1: He is ugly. This one is false for the most part. Look at the women he has dated, Liz Allan, Gwen, MJ, Black Cat, Carol Danvers and others.
#2: He is naive. This one is also false. Peter is optimistic. There is a difference. Peter himself recognizes that the world is a terrible place. However he thinks it can get better. That is the whole point of him not killing his enemies.
#3: He has to suffer to be relatable. No, just no. This one is false. He doesn't have to suffer to be relatable. He is relatable because he deals with relatable problems. He is nerdy, has to make ends meet, etc. That is how he was relatable. Not suffering. And certainly not whatever the f#ck is going on in the current run.
#4: He is hated by other heroes. This one mainly stems from the Superior Spider-Man comic arc, but is still blatantly wrong. He has several friends in the comics, such as: Daredevil, Deadpool (to an extent) Wolverine, Luke Cage, Johnny Storm, Cloak and Dagger, and several others.
#5: He is not respected by the other heroes. This was also caused by Superior Spider-Man. However several people respect him. Mr. Fantastic and Iron Man respect him for his intelligence. Captain America calls him on of the greatest men he's ever known. Thor says (in a complimentary way) that he was the most mortal man he knew. T'Challa let him eat a Heart-Shaped Herb. Hulk was one of the few people who knew Peter's identity after OMD.
#6: He was a teenager for most of his publication history. The first ever Spider-Man comic was published in August 1962 in Amazing Fantasy #15. He he graduated and became an adult on June 8, 1965 in The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 1 #28.
AU where Bruce isn’t Batman and the ‘Brucie’ persona is mostly real, but he’s also not an idiot and well aware that his kids are vigilantes
Bruce, “I just wish Dickie chose a better costume than that. I mean, look at him! He’s like a traffic light.”
Alfred, “I believe it’s a similar outfit to one his mother designed for him when he was younger.”
Bruce, “….nevermind, I take it back. He’s my beautiful baby boy and his outfit choices are definitely not atrocious.”

Bruce, “Jay…mind explaining the bruises on your wrists?”
Jason, “Oh…yunno how it is.”
Bruce, stares
Bruce, “If your partner is hurting you-”
Jason, “NO, it’s nothing like that! I promise, it was….consensual?”
Bruce, “Is that a question or statement, kiddo?”
Jason, “Statement.”
Jason, later, grumbling to Dick, “Sometimes I feel like he’s onto us…”
Dick, “No way. We cover our tracks super well. You just need to come up with better excuses for your bruises. I mean, BDSM? You?”
Bruce, upstairs, listening through a bug he planted, “Dumbasses.”
—
Bruce, “Why is the Drake child in my home?”
Jason, “He’s a friend.”
Dick, “I think you’re choking him a little, B.”
Bruce, who has Tim in a bear hug, “Am I choking you, buddy?”
Tim, muffled, “Not at all.”
—
Bruce, “TALIA! YOU’RE HERE! Why are you here.”
Damian, “Why am I here?”
Talia, “We have a son. Here. Take care of him.”
Damian, “I will not stay w a man like…like him.”
Bruce, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Damian, “You’re pathetically human and weak. I have nothing to learn here, Mother.”
Talia, “He’s beaten me before.”
Damian, “What?”
Dick, “What?”
Jason, “What?”
Bruce, smiling dreamily, “Such good memories.”

The kids find out he knew everything from the start when Dick has to pick up a drunk Bruce from a party. They arrive back at the Manor and Bruce won’t stop clinging to Dick.
Bruce, “Noooooooo! Don’t leave me! Don’t put on that ugly costume!”
Dick, “W-what?”
Bruce, sniffles, “It’s better than the Robin one, but come on, chum. You can do so much better than that.”
Dick, “You…know?”
Bruce, still crying, “Of course I knew! Good at covering your tracks my ass!”
Dick, “Do you know everything?”
Bruce, wiping his face because his vision is blurring and there’s two Dicks standing in front of him. Fuck, he’s dizzy, “Jason’s outfit is better. Tim’s is atrocious. But at least you gave Dami pants.”
Dick, “BRUCE!?”
Bruce, “Nooooo, don’t yell. My head hurts.”

Sitting in what Bruce has decided to call the Bat Cave because, helloooo, the bats?
Dick, "How long have you known?"
Bruce, "Oh, you know."
Jason, "From the beginning???"
Bruce, "I'm not stupid. Alfred, why does everyone think I'm stupid? My own kids think I'm stupid."
Tim, "Mr Wayne-"
Bruce, stares at him
Tim, "....Bruce. We don't think you're stupid. We just thought we were being...sneaky."
Damian, "Hmph. All of you lack training in stealth. Unlike me."
Bruce, "Dickie, how am I supposed to not know when I adopted a child acrobat and 'oh, look! a pint sized vigilante who can do flips off of buildings!'"
Jason, snorts, "Pint sized."
Bruce, "Jaylad, you started using guns a week after I signed you up for a firearms class."
Tim, tries very hard to hide a laugh
Bruce, "Timmy, your bedroom is covered in pictures of Gotham you'd only get from being on top of buildings."
Damian, scoffs
Bruce, "Dami, you trained as an assassin. Of fucking course you're a vigilante."
The kids, "....fuck. We suck at this."
Bruce, waves his hands in the air, "Don't worry about it. You're all bad at covering for yourselves, but me and Alfred handled it. Anyone who might've even got an inkling of who you might be have been...dealt with."
Jason, "Did you kill them?!"
Bruce, "What? No. Of course not. Right, Alfie?"
Alfred, "....of course not."

bisexuality isn't a threat to anyone or anything. not lesbianism, not gayness, not heterosexuality, not sapphics, not achilleans, not asexuals, not aromantics- no one. cis bisexuals are not a threat. bisexual men are not a threat. gender conforming bisexuals are not a threat. trans, non binary and gender non conforming bisexuals are not a threat. intersex bisexuals are not a threat. bisexuality is not a threat. stop bringing cisheteronormative talking points inside the community. throwing bisexuals under the bus & sucking up to conservatives won't make them like you better. we are your family & we occupy the same spaces as you because we belong, too. kicking bisexuals out of the lgBt community won't help you progress forward in society, or towards accepting other queers wholeheartedly.
you can't have the LG T without the B. this is our community too- we're not leaving.
The more they change...

It's spring break and I've decided to dedicate my time to silly ship dynamics with these dumbasses so expect more in a short amount of time ‼️⭐❤
