Callback To My Grandpa (mom's Dad) Who Had A Parrot Named Pete. About A Year After Pete Died, He Got

Callback to my grandpa (mom's dad) who had a parrot named Pete. About a year after Pete died, he got a second parrot and named it Repete (repeat)

Bruce sends his kids little notes using carrier bats. It first started when Dick moved out and he wanted to talk to his son but didn't want to call and then have dick hang up on him or decline, didn't want to see his message be left on read, so he bought a little circus bat and taught it to fly to wherever Dick’s scent was (ie he would hang a piece of dicks clothing up at one end of the cave) and built him a nest built of dicks old bedsheets and then tied a little note to its foot, just a little question about how the weather is in Bludhaven and if hes getting enough sleep and alfred misses him, nothing that can be seen as overbearing or forcing himself into his life, and the little bat flies all the way to Bludhaven and hangs on Dicks window and Dick sees it and memories slam into him full force because bats are batman and robin and he cant, not yet. So he doesn't open the window. Ignores him. But the little bat is anything if not as stubborn as the man who trained him so he stays. And after two days Dick relents because the bat hasn't moved an inch and is probably hungry, so he brings him inside and then he sees the note for the first time and opens it and then he breaks and the tears flow because Bruce cares and bruce still wants him. And dick spends time with the little bat and takes it on missions as Nightwing because they’re both nocturnal and then finally, dick attaches a little note to the bats leg and he flies off to bruce. And bruce sees the little bat on his window and opens it, when he spots Dick standing just below, smiling faintly. “Hey b.” 

Bruce gets a bat from the cave ceiling for Babs almost immediately after her accident with Joker because he has responsibilities but he cant leave her alone so he sends her notes everyday and hopes the bat is a good enough companion and when she becomes oracle the bat serves as an exchange of information and contacts and bruce still uses him to check up on her and babs rolls her eyes everytime, but its fond

And so then when Jason comes bruce finds another little bat hanging in crime alley and uses her as a therapy animal after he dies and trains her the way he trained Dick’s but the bat doesn't have anyone to fly to and bruce tries not to cry when he sends it out with notes and it returns because it has no one to deliver to… until one day it doesn't come back. And bruce is afraid and confused and a week later the bat is back, a new note attached to her leg and bruce takes it and breaks down and he gets to talk to his son again. 

Tim already comes with his own bat because Nightwing has one, but the little girl imprints on Bruce right away and Tim pouts but he cant really be angry, not when Bruce sends his bat over to him almost daily while hes in the batcave or his room or the tower with reminders to eat and sleep and coupons for coffee

When Steph arrives Bruce hates himself for firing her but he just cant right now, but he stills gets a bat from the cave and sends it to her and apologizes because he cant bring himself to leave everything unspoken between them and Steph actually adores it and every so often she’ll send him a note and bruce knows hes forgiven

For Damian theres no need for a bat because he lives in the house with Bruce, but then they have Goliath and well… he serves as a messenger when no one else can get damian out of the training area

bruce has never named the bats, thinking that was for them alone to do and he didnt want to get too attached because theres always a chance he pushed too far and his kids wont send a message back, but one day all his kids were hanging out in the living room together and bruce had just come up to join them when he hears dick say "hey wheres b? the movie's about to start?" and jason chucks a piece of popcorn in his mouth and goes "idk, ill send him a note." but tim goes "no i will!" and all together they yell "ROBIN!!!" and all their bats come flying from the cave and fly to their specific masters and Bruce cant fight the tears and when every little bat flies towards him and delivers their note he walks out into the living room and gives them the biggest hug

alright tumblr, I need to know

Hey uh do me a favor and reblog this! I wanna reach as many users as possible with this one

Really funny idea that I just had (someone might've thought of this before, but idk)

School-aged super hero like Tim Drake or Peter Parker or Danny Phantom or the like find someone in their school that they don't share classes with and decide that that person is going to be their secret identity.

Like, the chosen hero somehow learns everything about this person and, probably through plot convenience, manages to time their superheroing with that person's disappearances and reappearances.

It doesn't even have to be a fellow student!

And, naturally it isn't going to line up perfectly, but imagine the shenanigans of two potentials being this superhero/vigilante that just showed up one day!

And then the second person gets in on it. Now they can coordinate and the shenanigans can double!

Despite me posting random shenanigans for How To Balance, I don't actually have anything else (aside from the very ending)(don't ask) written (despite my best efforts). I'm just kinda making those up based on the vibes in the moment. Having said that...

Danny's a feral gremlin once he gets more comfortable around Dick and Tim, and Alfred and maybe Bruce by association.

Anyway, Dick's apartment become's Danny's haunt. Because Danny conveniently forgets to tell Dick about his ghostlyness, Dick has no idea what the fuck is happening. Suddenly, he's living in a Poltergeist Movie!??!

It's actually not very sudden at all. The changes are just subtle enough, and they happen at a steady rate, that he just doesn't notice until he wakes up one day and realizes Something's Not Right.

Tim clocked it maybe a week after the first tiny change and blames Danny. Doing a deep-dive worthy of Cartoon!Batman, he learns about both Danny and Phantom. He doesn't think to tell anyone, though, because Chaos Gremlins gotta stick together. (It's not a sense of pride to know things that Batman doesn't know...yet)

Danny, at some point, realizes that Dick has know idea what's going on. He still doesn't tell him. The man's a detective! Let him figure it out on his own.

Also, I've realized that there is a severe lacking in the whole 'Danny becomes the occult expert of the Batfam' so I will be using that a lot. Gotta make up for the missed opportunities.

favorite thing ever is leaving this gif in Ao3 comment sections

because A: a shocking amount of people don't know abt the 'img src=' trick to add images into comment sections, and B: well over half of the authors seem to really enjoy the sentiment
