Price: we all have our own demons
Price, gesturing at the TF141: these are mine
*at zoo*
Soap: what are they in for?
Price: this isn’t a prison…
Gaz: so they can leave?
Price: no, but…
Ghost, pointing at a meerkat: I bet that one murdered someone
Soap, holding a python: guys I impulsively bought a snake, what do I name him?
Price: YOU DID WHAT?!?
Gaz: William Snakespear
Gaz, gesturing at Price: Soap! Look what you did! You made dad upset
Soap: dad, please don’t cry. We’re sorry…
Price, drunk out of his mind and near tears: I DONT REMEMBER GIVING BIRTH TO ANY OF YOU!
Price: IM NOT A FATHER FIGURE
Ghost: what are you doing??
Price, holding a knife above a sandwich: Gaz doesn’t like the crust
He sticks their mission reports on the fridge and THAT’S, ladies and gentlemen and others, CANON!!!
a non-comprehensive list of reasons why bruce has tried banning halloween in the manor
1. dick was overly trusting of clowns as a child. he still holds the family record for most kidnappings in a single night
2. jason tried wearing his robin uniform as a costume. every. year.
3. jason then graduated to dressing up as his corpse and haunting (traumatizing) his brothers
4. cass always manages to scare him. no clark he does not shriek.
5. tim, duke, and steph got ‘spooky scary skeletons’ stuck in his head and martian manhunter started laughing at him in a JL meeting because of it
6. damian was followed and subsequently kidnapped by what they assumed was a group of very tall trick or treaters, but were actually just the league
7. that time of year is when jerry the turkey gets a little self aware (re: defensive). there have been incidents.
8. he walked downstairs only to be greeted with every member of his family dressed like green lantern. even alfred.
9. young justice decided to throw a giant party and to get in you had to wear the shittiest batman costume possible for their contest
10. jason won said contest. he didn’t even stay for the party, he just wanted the excuse
11. gotham rogues are drama kids and are therefore sluts for good thematic irony, so half of them do special edition attacks on halloween
12. the kids all do a candy swap at the end of the night, they invite kate and not him
13. tim has an allergy to peppermint and never seems to be aware of this, so he has to keep multiple epi pens on standby
14. he’s expected to wear slutty costumes and that’s just not worth his playboy cover
15. alfred only confiscates the candy he gets
16. he was just really hungover one year
17. damian has made them all watch coraline so. many. times. he doesn’t even get nightmares anymore
18. tim goes on a sugar high and has to be put on tech lockdown or he might frame lex luthor for murder and extort 90% of gotham’s elite
19. when dick and jason were younger they left open pumpkins outside his door and he would accidentally step in them every morning
20. damian tried to convince them to bob for apples with lazarus water
21. tim fell asleep while bobbing for apples (in normal water) and almost drowned
22. dick and steph drew a glittery skeleton over the batsuit
23. when he complains they all call him the grinch. it’s not even christmas.
24. pumpkin carving always leads to them flinging the innards at eachother and making a mess even alfred refuses to clean
25. the validity of candy corn argument comes to blows. every. single. year.
26. duke lead a revolt one year against the tyranny of bruce’s “no slanderous costumes” policy (he wanted to be slutty batman)
27. the kids throw a rager in the cave and somehow never get caught. it’s the only time they’re all willing to clean and it pisses bruce off that he can’t prove it.
28. bruce got sick and clark walked around the watchtower in a batman costume pretending to be him for two days
29. steph and dick glued the lorax mustache to him while he was sleeping because he refused to pick a costume. it didn’t come off for a week, and lois posted an article speculating he was secretly a natural ginger.
30. all the kids stayed in once and watched ‘it’s the great pumpkin charlie brown’ instead of partying and he’s been trying to get them to do it again ever since
actually though. various (sfw) kryptonian biology headcanons that skirt right up to human-passing
- higher base body temperature
- pupils that aren’t black but instead shaded slightly in the color of the iris. all kryptonians have unnaturally vivid eyes but it’s hard to tell exactly why unless you’re literally gazing into them
- tapetum lucidum (reflective eyes like animals) a bit harder to get away with, but are extremely funny because clark often does the maneuver where he’ll stand in front of a car to stop it, and this would make seeing him like seeing a deer but 10000000% worse
- they are actually bioluminescent it’s just that under normal circumstances it’s in the ultraviolet and we can’t see it. clark goes off to a blue sun mission and comes back looking halfway to electric blue superman. glowing stripes and freckles
- non-newtonian dynamic to their skin/flesh where it gets harder with more force applied; nothing unusual to the feeling of a normal handshake, but a punch thrown with force will break bone
- retractable fangs au because bonus teef are fun
- i swear some comic somewhere said something about nose gills
- solar lymphatic system primarily distributed along the spine. the entire spine lighting up with heat vision…
- they can collapse/skrunkle their spine a few inches; helpful with secret identity, but it restricts range of motion so it has the side benefit of making them a little clumsier
- blood tinged gold with stored solar energy
- just enough extra twist in their neck to enter uncanny valley territory - not quite looking straight behind but enough to be creepy as hell. kara would do this all the time
- golden age face squooshing. i do not think this should come back but it was actual canon for a while that they could just contort their faces. again creepy as fuck
If you could live in one DC city, which one would you choose? Star City? Central City? Metropolis? Gotham? Or a different one?
All of them have their pros and cons
Star City
- Pros: the Arrowfam
- Cons: Ollie's chili
Central City/Keystone
- Pros: more mentally stable Rogues gallery
- Cons: the Midwest
Metropolis
- Pros: not Gotham
- Cons: gotta buy a new car every week the way they get thrown through your office
Smallville
- Pros: Kon
- Cons: corn
Gotham
- Pros: grunge vibes
- Cons: Gotham
Examples of Bruce’s “Dad Strength” as witnessed by various Robins throughout the years:
can and will bodily pick up any new Robin and bail as soon as gunfire starts on patrol
one time Bruce got out, physically ripped off a broken part of the Batmobile, and threw it in the backseat so he and Jason could keep chasing someone in the Narrows
ran home with Nightwing over his shoulder when he got shot
frequently lifts sewer grates/manhole covers like they weigh nothing
does push-ups with Robins on his back for a challenge
held onto the side of a building with just his fingers for ten minutes once when Steph’s grapple line broke and he had to help her back up
pulls hot dishes from the oven without mitts sometimes for Alfred (insists scar tissue on his hands means he can’t feel it, nobody fully believes him)
Damian swears he saw him kick a tree down once during training. A big tree.
Dick frequently catches him unscrewing screws in his prototypes with his bare fingers
Punches through walls????
can drink nothing but straight black coffee for several days before any signs of discomfort (this freaks out everyone but Tim)
how crazy do you think the AO3 authours notes are in gotham?
"Joker killed my grandma with a reindeer whilst playing 'grandma got run over by a reindeer' and i don't think i can continue to write this JokerBat fic anymore guys sorry :/ it just feels disrespectful."
“Look, I get if Batman/Clark Kent isn’t your cup of tea, but the guy writes more about Batman than anyone else outside of Gotham. There’s got to be a reason, is all I’m saying.”
“And here I am, jumping on the Batman/Bruce Wayne train like the rest of our beloved hellhole. Anyway, if you’re not from Gotham you can keep your criticisms to yourself or I will not be held responsible for the bloodshed that will occur should you insult our beloved sunshine child and his goth sugar baby. You don’t know them like we do.”
“Hey, sorry I haven’t updated in awhile. I died and then got caught up in this whole my-father-didn’t-avenge-me angst thing. Which was completely justified in my opinion. Anyway…”
“Let’s be honest, this entire series is dedicated to the fact that Red Hood could crush any of us with his thighs and we’d say thank you.”
“I just read a fic shipping Nightwing/Superman and I mean, come on. The author is clearly not from Gotham but I can never unsee that and I think I should be entitled to financial compensation.”
“Sorry it’s been awhile, I just got a new job! With the Best Boss™️ (if you know, you know). Also, my boss said he’d give a hundred bucks if I wrote a Batman bashing fic? Thoughts? Ngl I don’t think it’d even be that hard.”
“‘WHy aRE yoU WriTIng ABouT FakE SupERheROes WHen THe rEAl oNEs aRE riGHt tHEre?’ Uh, because it’s Gotham and they’re all a disaster? And also because I don’t want to be haunted by the venegeful spirits of robins past idk. Thinking of doing a crossover though. Batman in the Avengers? Thoughts?”
“I just want my husband Nightwing to be happy, is that too much to ask?”
“I came across Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy on my way home from school today and will now be hyperfixating on that ship, thanks.”
“Leave me and my 235k word fic of Prince!Bruce/Knight!Batman alone you Metropolis and Superman-loving traitors. This is not for you.”
thank you sans and reigen for creating the perfect energy for today to happen
drive with all the photos, and youtube version
I bought this last night. This is a total game changer. Internet fame, here I come.

Damian and Jon hanging out at the Kent’s

Damian, vibrating with excitement: Can I help?!
Jon:

1am in my modern au:

mary-beth is reading fanfiction with full brightness on, tilly has been playing call of duty on her ps4 for the past 10 hours and has been threatened with homelessness at least 50 times for screeching, karen has just come home from the club and will be complaining non-stop about her hangover the next morning.
sean and lenny are deep in a bender and absolutely will eventually wake up still high and drunk in a bush or naked together in a hotel (its always been one or the other, they have never made it home) javier is playing just dance by himself, micah is playing law-breaker speed run (literally) and everyone else had the brains to go to bed at a reasonable time.
