The first time they called you “mom” - Batmom x Batboys

I…Did not plan on writing this. But today, I wanted to reply to some asks about the Batfam (more particularly about Batmom), and um…Well I got so carried away on the very first question I tried to reply to, that I ended up writing a full fic about it and I guess I’ll answer other asks later ^^’. So anyway, here we go, the title is pretty self-explanatory, hope you’ll like it :

Dick.

“And here we go Dickie. Now, you’re a true pirate.”

You say, as you adjust an oversized tricorn on the boy’s head. He moves a bit too quickly to peak at his look in a mirror, and the hat falls back on his forehead. And oh it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen, him turning back to you and trying to look at you from below it. 

Once again, you place the tricorn back as best you can, smoothing the huge peacock feather planted on its side while you’re at it. You hold it in place for a few seconds to make sure it won’t fall again, trying to figure out a way to balance it on his ears, and say : 

“We really need to get you a hat your size…This one is way too big, it’ll get in the way if you have to fight for the treasure !”

He looks at you with sparkling eyes…Well, with one sparkling eye. A “true pirate” obviously wears an eye-patch ! He looks at you with that one, bright blue sparkling eye, and with the deepest voice his little nine years old vocal cords can muster, he says : 

“Arrrr, a simple hat won’t get in the way of me getting my treasure ! I’ll throw it at the ruffian who wants to steal my gold from me, distract them, and then I’ll…make them fall on their butt ! ”

You chuckle and shake your head, utterly charmed, once again, by this little boy. Really, how could you resist such a sweet smile ? His cuteness emphasized by the fact that he just lost a few of his front teeth. 

“That’s a very nice technique little one ! Show me how you’d do it !” 

He jumps a bit in the air out of excitement, and takes a few steps back from you. Harboring a fighting stance, he unsheathed the wooden rapier you made for him, and the gesture makes the hat immediately fall on his eyes again…But he takes hold of it with his hand that isn’t holding his sword, and throws it at an imaginary enemy. 

He then stabs the air, yells a very piratey “Aaarrrrr” and tackle his made-up opponent fiercely. Getting back up on his feet, he takes his hat again and put it on his head and say, proudly, looking at the empty spot in front of him : 

“Stay on your butt, you miscreant ! Captain Grayson wins again !” 

But as he takes his victory pose, the tricorn falls on his eyes again, kinda ruining the moment. He turns to you, lifting it up and says : 

“…Maybe I need a smaller one.”

Voltron Speculation- Why Klance is still K.I.C.K-ing

So if there’s one thing I love to do when watching shows or games or anything in between- it’s finding parallels or things that don’t quite add up. The sudden relationship arc that seems to be developing between Lance and Allura is one of those things. So I started thinking back on previous seasons and interviews.

Let me share what I've thought of~

The forced feeling behind Allurance was planned. Hear me out here.

Lance is confirmed to have a romantic end game, while Allura was confirmed NOT to have one. Why say that if they were gonna end up together? Everyone would have assumed Lotor and Allura were endgame with seasons 6, and by the time season 3 came out as we know, the next few seasons were already finished or halfway done. They also confirmed that Lance’s relationship was a slow-burn. Lance has liked Allura since season 1, and she’s never treated him very fondly until season 3 when the lion switch took place. Even then, the relationship was mostly admiration. The sudden affection hinted at in the second to last season wouldn’t be very slow.

However multiple things did happen with the switch- Lance encouraged Keith to take on the role of leader and put his own pride aside. Then the Blue lion shut Lance out during a dire battle, and when Lance doubted his place on the team the Red lion called out for him. Cue right hand man Lance.

Something I noticed that maybe not everyone did, was that the gender of the lions match their paladins. Except Lance and Blue. Black, Yellow, and Red are male. Green and Blue are referred to as girls. It only matches when Allura takes over piloting the Blue lion. When applying just the pronouns to the scene and a few quotes from it;

She (Blue) chose someone else over Lance, and He (Red) chose him instead.

And then Allura says “As much as I would have liked it to be me, The red lion chose you.” 

“He chose you.”

Then the next season happens and ‘Shiro’ is found- which leads to Lance coming to Keith about his place on the team. Once again with doubting if he should be one, he’s comforted by Keith with ‘things will work themselves out’. Next thing we know, Keith is distancing himself from the team before he eventually leaves. He mentioned one reason for leaving which was essentially, ‘The blade need me/I need to be a part of these missions’. When asked if that was the full reason he was leaving, he mumbles “I suppose that's part of it.” This second part is never expanded on. At first I thought it had something to do with his mother- but he had no idea she was alive. Plus he just got his brother back- why leave suddenly after unless he had another important reason? 

It’s like that scene between Krolia and Keith in season 6.

 ‘I finally understand. You put the mission before everything else.’

‘That’s not true. I left to protect the one I love move. You.’

Keith left so Lance could stay, and they could both still be useful. But it hurt Lance, though he tried to hide it. It was confirmed that it left a VOID in Lance’s heart. When stranded in space Lance even yelled at Keith ‘You left Keith! Maybe you should have stayed gone.’

It was also confirmed that Lance will end up with something totally different to where he began- Something/ someone he NEEDS instead of wants. Someone confident and self assured.

He’s always wanted Allura. And Now Allura wants him.

But it’s like Lance told his first girl, the Blue lion,- ‘Sometimes what we want isn’t necessarily what we get’.

During “The Feud”, Lance even chose Keith to escape, saying “He’s like- the future.”

In short, Allura and Lance have been hinted at failing since the beginning, and they’re SUPPOSED to feel forced. They both have too many doubts about themselves and their places in the world to truly work together. They clash, even. They’re trying to find a source of comfort to fill the void they have in their hearts. They’ve had moments, but not nearly enough.

Keith and Lance have truly the most developed relationship in the series dare I say. A rivalry built on mutual annoyance, that shifted to indifference, to friendship with admiration and trust and fond looks. There was even several parallels to Krolia and Keith’s dad, and the VLD Crew said ‘Parallels are for a reason.’ It was such a natural progression that flowed smoothly and suddenly seem cut when season 7 rolled around. Not destroyed, but definitely not where they were. Bonding back to that closeness and familiarity and even more would be incredibly easy in 13 episodes.

 Much easier and simpler than suddenly making Allura in love with Lance after she chose a psychotic killer over him originally and didn’t have a single regret until she found out what Lotor had done. That’d be a great message to send to audiences. “Hey turns out that my Ex you warned me about WAS actually a dick. So after technically years of being annoyed by you, I suddenly love you!”

So either it’s a struggle and they’re both gonna realize that- or Dreamworks is gonna say fuck it and leave us with a terrible and random end. 

Lance is someone's first choice. He’s almost always been Keith’s. 

Please tell me your thoughts or if you can remember anything else!
