Taking turns “babysitting” Robin in your respective safe houses while Batman is away on an interplanetary mission be like…

Red Hood [to Nightwing and Red Robin]: This house, not equipped for kids, alright? I eat cereal out of wine glasses.

Mornings at the Manor…

Bruce: *picks up the Gotham Gazette*

Dick: *doing pull-ups using the kitchen chandelier*

Alfred: *tugs at Dick’s feet to get him off the chandelier*

Tim: *typing furiously on his laptop, eyes narrowed with concentration*

Jason: *pours a fifth shot of espresso into Tim’s mug*

Damian: *picks bacon off Jason’s plate and feeds it to Alfred the Cat*

Bruce: *puts down the newspaper, buries his face in a hand and shakes his head*

Bruce: Just one question, boys. Do you get pleasure out of humiliating your family?

I’d say stick to the Business Section, Bruce, but I guess it’s kind of hard to avoid the headlines, huh?

Mornings at the Manor…

Bruce: Good morning, everyone!

Alfred:

Dick:

Jason:

Tim:

Damian:

Bruce: *sits down on the kitchen table, pours himself a cup of coffee, and picks up the Gotham Gazette*

Jason [to Tim]: *whispering* Ah, crap. He’s in love again.

Because a cheerful Bruce is a suspicious Bruce. (And that might have something to do with a certain, um, Cat.)

“Death of the Family” be like…

Nightwing: Wait a minute… Jay, are you clapping?

Red Hood: Yeah.

Red Robin: So, your hands are free?

Red Hood: Yeah.

Robin: Joker didn’t tie up your hands?

Red Hood: *shrugs* No. He must’ve forgotten.

Batgirl: Do you realize that we’ve been sitting here for 14 hours?

Red Hood: Well, get pissy if you want, guys! But I’ve enjoyed the time we’ve spent as a family. *sulks*

Mornings at the Manor…

Damian: *preparing his dental hygiene paraphernalia*

Jason: *standing in front of the mirror, peeling dead skin off himself*

Damian: Gross, Todd!

Jason: Hey, Little D! Want some double-dead beef jerky? *tosses the skin at Damian*

And the ensuing destruction of Wayne Manor property has forced Bruce to have two separate bathrooms constructed.

Mornings at the Manor…

Alfred: *decorating pancakes with whipped butter and blueberries*

Dick: *eating cereal while doing a one-armed handstand*

Jason: *throwing bacon bits at Dick’s face*

Tim: *enters the kitchen*

Damian: What’s that smell? *sniffs the room*

Everyone else: *stops to sniff* 

Damian: Smells like sweat and anger and shame.

Tim: *with dark rings under his eyes*

Tim: *pours coffee onto the wrong end of his mug*

Tim: *sighs* Yep.

#family patrol nights

I recently posted about a new tag that I’d be using

(#mornings at the manor), which is meant for posts about the Batfamily’s domestic AM shenanigans. Then, I realized that if they had moments of adorable “normalcy” in the mornings, why wouldn’t they have them at night (when they’re usually out on patrol) as well? Hence, the tag above. 

I think I’ve already posted this headcanon on my other Tumblr account (a-wayne-at-heart), but in my mind, the Batkids (especially the Robins) try to find ways to amuse themselves while they’re patrolling together – much to their Batdad’s chagrin (but, really, he’s secretly amused and relieved that his children are getting along). 

When there’s downtime (stakeouts can be boring). When they’re getting on each other’s nerves. When they end up in ridiculous situations. When they’re trying not to dwell on the pressure of constantly being in life-and-death situations (or their own personal troubles). 

Humor can be a pretty effective coping mechanism for vigilantes, too.

So, this tag is for those posts which involve at least the four main Robins (Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian), with or without Batman and/or other family members, friends, colleagues, et al. 

(Maybe I’ll backtrack and tag much older posts. There’s just so many and I don’t have the patience for it right now. Haha.)
