I Completely Forgot "brick By Brick" Is An Actual Phrase That People Say And Is Not Always Followed By

I heard they're coming back!

Excuse my rage

But why the fuck would anyone ship Dick with Bruce?

That’s his adoptive father, he raised the kid and has been his dad 3x longer than John Grayson was.

That’s like Shipping any of the batbrothers together or with Bruce!

Adoption is just as good as blood and as a human from a patchwork family it makes my skin crawl that folks try to play it off and get their incesty-kink while saying “it’s not wrong they aren’t related!”

I ain’t related to my brother. BUT HE’S STILL MY BROTHER. And as for the argument “They didn’t grow up together!” My big sister was 12 when she was adopted; I’ve known her since I was 9, THAT’S THE SAME AGE GAP AS JASON AND DICK.

My dad ain’t gonna hit on any of his kids just because they aren’t blood related to him. cus that’s not something good parents do.

And anyways! It’s still an adult and a young person they mentor/parent. That’s a huge power imbalance even if there wasn’t nearly 20 YEARS BETWEEN THEM.

so in conclusion: STOP SHIPPING ADOPTED KIDS WITH THEIR ADOPTIVE PARENTS OR SIBLINGS. it’s still incest and it’s freaking gross.

*Crow conversation overheard on the streets of Ketterdam*

Inej: *shivers* hey Kaz, I'm a little cold do you think you could, you know

Kaz: of course *snaps fingers*

Jesper: *takes off coat and hands it to Inej*

Inej: thanks

Wylan: wait. what if I'm cold too?

Jesper: oh, well then *snaps fingers"

Kaz: *fans fingers out magician-ly, reaches inside coat to pull out, you guessed it, another coat that he hands to Wylan*

Wylan: *visibly confused* thank you? I think?

Inej & Jesper: *clap enthusiastically*

Kaz:*bows dramatically*

*Meanwhile trailing a little ways behind them*

Nina: *snorts* lol can you believe those dorks

Matthias: HoLy sHiT Nina did you see that!?!?! He pulled that coat out of NOWHERE!!!

Tim: Did you know there's like a 95% chance I'll become a supervillain at any given moment?

Bruce: I'm sorry, what

Tim: Yeah, I know, it haunts my every waking moment.

"To hell with revenge, to hell with his schemes. If Rollins had done something to Inej, Kaz would paint East Stave with his entrails"

- Crooked Kingdom

I don't think we talk about this much, but this one line just shows how important Inej is, to Kaz.

Revenge is the foundation of Kaz's life, his sole purpose, his final destination, his motivation. The reason he lives. Revenge is why Kaz didn't give up. Revenge is everything to him.

And yet he was willing to give that up. For what?

For Inej. Inej Ghafa. His Wraith. The only person he could trust and knew won't use his secrets against him.

And I think it is very important.

Batman at the Watchtower giving a oral debate discussion.

Flash: Bats what’s in your cape?

*Cue a 6’2 over 200 lbs of muscle in a red helmet with two large pistols strapped to his thighs.*

Red Hood: Alfred wanted to know if you wanted Herb Crusted Salmon or Chicken Fingers for dinner?

Batman: Chicken tenders will do.

Red Hood leaves, and Batman returns to his conversation.

Hal: *Internally about to combust*

Dick: Yeah, lil Dee?

Damian: Did Pennyworth prepare this?

Dick (confused): No, I did.

Duke:When?

Dick: Just now. Eat up guys it’ll be time for me to take you guys to school soon. *Leaves kitchen whistling*

Duke (whispering): I thought he couldn’t boil water?

Damian: I was told the same information Thomas,I am just as surprised as you.

*Both begin to eat and surprisingly the food is tasty*

Tim:No way Dick made breakfast?!

Duke and Damian both share a confused look.

Duke: Wait so Dick had known how to cook this whole time, then why did you tell me he couldn’t?

Tim with a mouthful of pancakes:Yes it was a lie,I love when Dick cooks and I wanted be the only one to eat it.

Damian and Duke share another look.

Damian:I curse the day of your conception Drake.

Tim: Mhmm, are you gonna eat those?

Superman and Wonder Woman burst into the Batcave.

Superman: We got your destress call,what wrong?

Bruce turns in his chair to look at them: I didn’t issues a destress call.

Wonder Woman:Like Hera you didn’t, we got here as soon as we could.

Dick drops down from the ceiling.

Dick: I summoned you both here.

All: What for?

Alfred arrives with a smug look on his face: Master Dick thought it would be wise for you both to spend the day with Master Bruce he had been quite grumpy as of late.

Bruce: have not.

Dick: Has too.

Clark (chuckling): If you missed us you could have just called.

Bruce(grumpily): I did not.

Diana holding her Lasso in hand: Shall we test that theory?

Alfred clearing his throat:I have taken the liberty of preparing tea along with finger sandwiches and pastries in the sunroom if you both would follow me.

Bruce turns to Dick blankly: why would you do that.

Dick grinning evily: Payback for the Penguin case.

Bruce:That was two months ago.

Dick: I never forget B, remember that. Save a sandwich for me Alfred!

Bruce staring blankly into the cave before getting up and following: I have raised a monster.

Tim drake is a reverse Brucie Wayne. The media sees him as a hot, competent, prodigy genius, teenage CEO, and heir to not one but TWO fortunes.

But only the people who really know him, that he's able to trust, recognize that he is actually a pathetic wet sewer cat in the vague shape of a floppy haired moron.

I love the idea of inej taking over kaz's office while he's away. Someone comes up and knocks on the door, already bricking it because they're about to come face to face with dirtyhands bastard of the barrel, but then they open the door and there's this small, shadow cloaked shape twirling a knife at the table and looking at them with glinting eyes and they're like holy shit this is even worse what saints help me
