You Found A Lost Post!

You found a lost post!

If your a writer and you see this post: Post your moodboard/collage/storyline of you WIP fic!

having friends in dif time zones is just

Daminette but they are both immortal since Damian has the Lazarus Pits and Marinette is the Guardian and they are totally dependant on each other... except the tiny fact that Damian runs the League of Assassins and Marinette heads the Order.

They can't bear to separate from each other for too long and the League and the Order have to share a headquarters...

Not my best work, but its the fourth time I redrew it and did the water color and it had the best result so I'm posting it anyways

the words are what was said at their first meeting, her as ladybug and him as a batman that had just started out. this is set in 2029, which is why mari has gen z humor.

(it was also supposed to be daminette but i couldnt get damian's skin tone right so now its brucinette)

(At the Wayne Mansion two days after the events at IKEA)

Bruce: (recently arrived from outer space) Hey Tim?

Tim: (head buried in a computer drinking his third mug of coffee this hour) Yeah?

Bruce: (holding a piece of paper) Why are we in the newspaper?

Tim: Why are you reading the news off of the paper? This is the 21st century Bruce, get with the times.

Bruce: Alright. (Pulls his phone out of his pocket) Why is a video of you and Jason arguing communist philosophy in an IKEA trending on Twitter?

Tim: Oh, Dick decided we should play hide and go seek in an IKEA and it kinda got out of hand.

Dick: (yelling from down the hall) DAMIAN HAS A GIRLFRIEND NOW!

Jason: (also yelling from down the hall but in the opposite direction) YEAH AND SHE'S A THIEF AND A LIAR!

Bruce: I was gone for a week.

Tim: In our defense, you did leave us unsupervised. Oh, we'll be receiving a bill for the damages done, but don't worry about it I'll take care of it.

Bruce: Damages!?

In Bruce’s defense, anyone who blames him for putting his children in the line of fire does not like…get his children.

Bruce adopting and training these kids is absolutely the only thing standing between them and even EARLIER deaths than the ones in canon that they all basically just…refuse to let stick.

Like, these are six incredibly determined little dumbasses.

Dick Grayson: breaks out of juvie and runs around rooftops tracking down the mob boss that ordered his parents killed in order to ruthlessly avenge them when he’s EIGHT.

Jason Todd: at age twelve, is caught stealing the tires off the goddamn BATMOBILE and upon being caught, his first instinct is NOT flight, its HIT THE GODDAMN BATMAN WITH HIS TIRE IRON.

Tim Drake: as early as age ten, spends his free time running around Gotham’s rooftops and back alleys stalking Batman and Robin with his clunky camera and absolutely no prior experience or training in either acrobatics or surviving Gotham’s back alleys.

Cassandra Cain: Upon learning Lady Shiva is her mother, ignores Batman yelling CASSANDRA NO and tracks down the most lethal and feared woman on the planet and bullies her into training her further, with Shiva going okay but then we gotta battle to the death and Cassandra going sure, makes sense, when do we start.

Damian Wayne: Early in life, is ordered to hunt and fight a bunch of dragon-type creatures. Adopts one as his pet. Finally meets his father, who does not trust him. Steals the Batmobile. Is fired from Robin and forbidden to leave the Manor for his protection while there’s a hit on his life. Calls himself Redbird and resumes Robin duties, citing that he was only forbidden from leaving as ROBIN, specifically. Is sent home during an attack on the city by a zombie army. Turns around and wades into the zombie army on his own. Etc, etc.

Duke Thomas: At age ten, the Riddler shuts down all the power in Gotham and says he’ll only restore it if bested with a riddle. Duke hears this and decides, this is a job for…Duke Thomas. Around age fifteen, he’s put in the foster system after his parents are affected by the Joker’s mind-altering gas during an attack, hears that some of the Joker’s victims have been found wandering around the sewer system that’s noted for being home to like….a cannibalistic crocodile villain, among other things, thinks well, guess I gotta go personally cover every inch of Gotham’s sewers on my own, by foot. Accidentally stumbles across a plot to bomb all of Gotham and decides, this is a job for…Duke Thomas. Etc, etc.

In summation, the Batkids’ shared family trait is Absolute Dumbassery and a Willful Disregard for Self-Preservation, and no, they do not accept constructive criticism. Bruce’s training them all as his partners was 40% fatalism, 60% Hail Mary. 

He actually tried getting Dick to choose colors for his costume that would actually blend into the shadows, and eight year old Dick went nah, I’m gonna stick with bright red, yellow and green, thanks though. 

He actually tried teaching Jason Todd how to prioritize speed and evasion against bigger opponents, and 5′4″ Jason Todd went nah, I’m just gonna punch ‘em, thanks though. 

He actually tried sending Tim home when Tim first showed up, and Tim went nah, I’m just not gonna do that, thanks though. 

He actually tried getting Cassandra to be more careful and selective about inserting herself into every single dangerous situation she came across, and Cass went, sorry, lost my phone when I weaponized it against the bad guys and also I’m in Hong Kong right now about to face off with my killer mom, see ya when I get back, bye. 

He actually tried benching Damian repeatedly, and Damian went, LOL. No. 

He actually tried stressing to Duke the importance of leaving dangerous situations to the professionals, and Duke kept showing up at every dangerous situation in Gotham and being like oh hey, so weird we keep running into each other. 

Every time another adult hero clucks at Bruce disapprovingly and says he really should’ve kept his kids out of the hero life, Bruce’s eye twitches and he grinds out: “Oh gee. If only I’d thought of that.”
