I love the idea that Battinson!Bruce in spite of his whole everything is like a really good dad, like thrives as a father. Like he is a compassionate, caring, attentive, understanding dad which he should be. Also I imagine that everyone in the Polycule(Talia, Selina, Khoa, even Gordon if that’s your thing) are both surprised and into it. Like yeah Selina was into Bruce for a while but she was lost when she saw him teach Jason how to tie a tie. He was Talia’s beloved but she was committed when Damian fell asleep on his lap after a panic attack. Khoa was into Bruce but got weak in the knees when he saw Bruce give Tim dating advice.
*through the Robins group chat*
Jason: what tHE FUCK DID I JUST SAW
Tim: Jason it's 4am
Tim: it better be important
Jason: stfu timmy I'm going through something
Jason: is the mansion haunted???
Tim: what
Jason: I was half asleep and then?? A big shadow was towering over me??
Jason: and don't tell me it was a dream bc I heard the door closing
Damian: It was father
Tim: oh yeah, he does that sometimes
Jason: excuse me what
Jason: why is the old bat watching me sleep???
Tim: he wasn't, it's winter
Jason: and??
Tim: he probably wasn't able to sleep, so he was making sure we're all warm so we don't catch a cold
Damian: He just left my room
Jason: damn, the older he gets the crazier...
Dick, reading all the messages in the morning: what the heck
Dick: so the winter fairy isn't real :c??
imagine being a mind reader and trying to get some important information from me.
And all u get is me cycling though my memory for that one song, I vaguely heard the rhythm of while walking somewhere that morning, like a glitching playlist
Humanity has finally found a way to communicate with crabs, we realize they're smarter than us. Now that they know we know, what are they going to do?
Sit and wait in the depths of the oceans. Sacrificing their weakest to be devoured by the walking flesh beings. While they wait for humanities inevitable demise at their own hands. Then and only then will they make shells out of our skulls and kingdoms out of our bones.
au where Jason stays with Talia and Damian after being resurrected because he’s gone slightly insane and wants to commit murder and Talia is having none of that, nope, gonna convince child to stay at my side until the Pit wears off, Ra’s be damned.
fast forward a few years, Jason has mostly chilled out, though is still down to murder criminals. He spends most of his time annoying the hell out of Ra’s and sometimes running missions behind Ra’s back for Talia. He’s basically Damian’s older brother. Probably goes by either Jay or Jace, but Damian at least is aware that his full name is Jason since he’s heard Talia use it. Jason has thought about letting the bats know he’s alive, but always backed out.
then Talia sends Damian to live with Bruce. Jason is often away on his own by this point, for missions or just because he wants to travel, and isn’t there when this happens.
now, Damian is an absolutely brat, and everyone immediately is like “WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS.” they’re going through the house and Damian is making snotty comments about everything when suddenly he freezes, surprising everyone. He squints at a portrait on the wall.
“…who’s that?” he asks slowly.
Bruce stiffens.
“Ah, that’s… Jason. Jason Todd. The second Robin. He… died, a while ago,” Dick explains with a sad, faraway smile.
“…..riiiiiiight,” Damian says slowly. Suddenly a whole lot of things make sense – he knows Jay came back from the dead, but he doesn’t know how Jay and Mother knew each other. “If you’ll excuse me. I need to make a phone call.”
He sprints out of the room.
(Talia, for the record, definitely knew this was going to happen when she sent Damian to Bruce.)
Two weeks later Damian tows a reluctant young man with black hair into the Batcave, trailed by an astonished Alfred.
“Damian!” Bruce says, horrified. “You can’t just bring strangers into the Cave! It’s completely irresponsible, do you have any ideas what the consequences could be for us-”
There’s a crash, and they all turn to stare. Dick is staring at Damian and the newcomer, stunned, his chair lying sideways on the ground. “That’s impossible,” he murmurs, voice shaking. “You’re –”
Damian rolls his eyes. “Jace isn’t a stranger, Father. He’s my brother.”
“Brother-?” Bruce turns to look at the man, and promptly drops the files he’s holding.
Jason Todd smiles nervously at him. “Hey, old man. Long time no see.”

I’ve said this on twitter before but I’ll say it again here: it would be EXTREMELY funny if Rex, Ahsoka, and Bo-Katan meet again post episode IV, specifically in the Mandalorian era.
Ahsoka: You lost the Darksaber again?
Bo-Katan: [has been hiding the fact she did lose the Darksaber the 2nd time but by the gods has she been trying her best to keep that from Ahsoka] How—
Ahsoka: Rex told me. Sabine gave it to you and you lost it. How’d that happened, Bo? There were no evil ex-Sith Lords to steal it from you again, and you lost it?
Bo-Katan: I didn’t lose it—
Ahsoka: Then, how did Din get it?
Rex: Who’s he?
Ahsoka: The new Manda’lor
Bo-Katan: He is not the new Manda’lor—
This is the day Bo-Katan was reminded that these two might be dangerous on their own but together —Clone War vets who have been working together for almost 30 years and are basically each other’s persons— they’re a bunch of lethally dangerous assholes.
Okay, yeah, so maybe Bo-Katan did lose the Darksaber, but they didn’t have to be insufferable about it. They’re so annoying, honestly. They’re beginning to sound like Boba, and it doesn’t help that Rex shares the same genetic gnome with the dude, like ugh.
Rex: Oh yeah, I know he rules Tatooine. I visit him sometimes to make his life a mess, like he did when he was little and decided to be a little brat to us on Kamino.
I didn’t think much of this other than Bo-Katan drops over to Rex’s house before that because she knows Ahsoka’s there but walks in on them being like. old people sappy.
Bo-Katan: [watches them] I see you two have gotten… close
Ahsoka: [slow dancing with Rex around his garden] What of it?
Rex isn’t exactly young anymore, but he has his own house to retire and all, so Ahsoka drops by once in a while to spend some time with him and do all the nice things they wouldn’t imagine doing since they’ve been in too many wars one went through a lifetime, so forgive her if she’s enjoying herself, Bo.
Maybe you should join them, listen to the music coming out from the clanky old radio, breathe in the fresh air. Take a nap maybe, since you look like the last time they’re about to take over a whole planet.
Wha— you’re going to Mandalore again? Why?
To help Din? That’s a first. No, we’re not making fun of you, it’s just that you hate the guy’s guts, and usually, you’d die for that Darksaber if it means getting it from him.
You want our help to get him around the sewages? But you’re going to be there though, why won’t you do it?
You’re going there first. To wait for him. While the Manda’lor himself is somewhere around the galaxy doing. Whatever. Can’t you just look for him and then you go together?
Bo-Katan: [feeling a headache coming along] I have other business to look into, will you help me or not?
Rex: [taking a tray of freshly baked bread out of the oven] Nope. Permanently retired, remember?
Ahsoka finally agrees to follow Bo-Katan to Mandalore and Rex gives her a little kiss goodbye and saying things like, “Make sure there aren’t any old ghosts trying to kill you.” and “If you need help, just tell me, and I’ll go.”
Bo-Katan: What happened to retiring?
Rex: [gives Ahsoka a Keldabe kiss]
Bo-Katan: [full of heavy judgement] Forget I asked.

Random thoughts for a marinette in the league of assassins x damien with batman.
she just pulls a meet him at the docks. she’s standing there like skipping rocks and then robin + like any batfam member drops behind her. she’s like wearing a trench coat and a red beret(LB hinting). she turns around and greets robin all sweet n shit (giving “hello beloved”).
cue bruce having a heart attack/flashback and the rest of the fam giggling n shit. damien a bit flushed but still communicating effectively regardless of being kinda embarrassed/annoyed.
let’s be honest they would be effective enough to get shit done AND flirt (well when their comfy with each other)
