"So, I talked to Clark today."

"Hm," Bruce grunts, as the voice of his eldest fills the Batcave. He has a brief idea of what this is about.

"What did you do, Bruce?"

Bruce leans back in his seat. "When Superman first created an account on Twitter, Clark figured it would only be a matter of time before Luthor followed suit. So, he approached me for help. He had the idea of taking up every handle that Luthor could possibly use for himself." He pauses. "I thought it was childish and irresponsible."

"Naturally."

"Nevertheless, I helped him out by developing a program that would generate all possible combinations of usernames involving the words "Lex" and "Luthor." It developed all possible combinations by cross-referencing—"

"I get the jist, thanks."

Bruce grunts. "So we generated the usernames, and Clark used the Batcomputer and his superspeed to create all the accounts. That very night, Luthor created his own account without being able to use 'Lex Luthor' in his name."

Dick whistles, and he can hear another voice whooping in the background. "I see Tim is visiting Bludhaven."

Dick ignores the change in subject. "Wait, is that the day I found the Batcomputer keyboard completely annihilated? Because you and Clark wanted to pull a fast one on Luthor?"

"...There were a lot of usernames."

"Well played, B! I didn't know you had it in you! I apologize for all the times I called you humorless."

"Hm."

"So that's why you and Clark were giggling so much that morning, huh?"

Bruce stills. "I didn't... giggle."

Dick laughs on the other side, while Haley's barks and Tim's laughter filter in from the background. "I heard you, Bruce. I was there."

"At 6 in the morning?"

"Yeah, I wanted to use the bars in the cave, but when I showed up, the both of you were bent over the Batcomputer giggling about something." He chuckles lightly. "I didn't say anything because I knew you wouldn't tell me anyway."

"Hn."

"Oh, chill out. So I saw you being a human being, big deal." Dick sounds exasperated, but Bruce can hear the smile in his voice. He allows himself a small one as well.

"Hm."

"So, was it worth it?"

Bruce thinks about the way Luthor's face had turned red with rage, so red that he could make it out with startling clarity even from the heavily pixelated picture Clark had sent him. The picture, of course, had been taken when he'd gone over to LexCorp as Superman to discreetly spy through Luthor's window and enjoy his reaction in real time.

"It was."

Amidst Dick's snickers, Tim's voice pipes up. "For amateurs, it was a solid prank, Bruce. But I think it's time to take it to the next logical step."

Bruce stops. He takes a moment to think about the millions of possible consequences and ramifications that this could lead to. He considers his options. He comes to a definitive decision.

"I'm listening."

Here's the link to the video Bruce linked if anyone is interested. It's actually really funny, I recommend checking it out.

First <- Part 3 <- Part 4 -> Part 5

HC that the average life expectancy in Gotham is actually four years higher than the national average because they collectively just keep refusing to die

now that cant be right

your hc about luffy eventually being allowed to sleep wherever he wants on the red force reminded me of something that happened in my childhood that i think would really fit

so imagine it's the middle of the night, and shanks is peacefully sleeping in his bed, but he gets woken up by a feeling of something pressing down on his foot. it's uncomfortable and he's half asleep, so he does what anyone else would, and kicks at it, ready to fall back asleep. the next thing he knows he's fully woken up by a thump on the floor and a familiar loud whining. so shanks sits up, looks to the end of the bed, and finds luffy on the floor, clutching his head and complaining something shanks is too tired to try and decipher. but he's awake enough to realize that he's just kicked luffy off the side of the bed, so he does the natural thing and starts cackling, only laughing harder when luffy's complaints get even more offended

ougahg PLEASE that's adorable and i can see that happening so clearly

(asl+uta) she's addicted to setting him up for failure

magic system where “dark magic” and “light magic” are literal terms - dark magic consumes photons, making an area around the spell visibly darker, sometimes to an Extreme extent, and light magic releases photons.

because of this most dark mages tend to work in very brightly-lit areas (either artificial light or outside in the daytime) to fuel their spells and wear and use lightly coloured clothes and tools so that they’re easier to see in the dimness their spells create, whereas light mages wear heavy, sometimes leaden robes (depending on the work being done) and the magical equivalent of welding masks to protect themselves from what can be an extreme amount of light, and sometimes other kinds of electromagnet radiation!

needless to say this is incredibly confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the culture

this has to be one of the top 10 robin quotes of all time

she talks about sanji the way people talk about their blorbos

one piece is genuinely the only series that i can think of that puts its money where its mouth is in regards to its message of "family doesn't end in blood, and chosen families are no less important or valid than biological families"

Of the ten main cast members, six of them come from adopted families, in addition to many more characters in the supporting cast

What is widely regarded as one of the best arcs in the entire series (marineford) revolves around a character trying desperately to save his adopted brother from execution. The entire world knows that they're not blood related, but even the marines (their sworn enemies, the people trying to kill them) still refer to them as brothers

One of the four strongest pirate captains in the world refers to his crewmembers as his children, and they all call him their father

One of the main characters looks his biological father in the eye, and tells him that the only reason he's still alive is that he didn't want his (adopted) father to be disappointed in him for letting his bio family die

Family, both chosen and biologically related, is one of the core themes of this series, and the way it's portrayed is so diverse and lovely and healing
