“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.
Red Hood: Roy?
Arsenal: Yeah?
Red Hood:
It’s not your fault.
Arsenal:
What?
Red Hood:
It’s not your fault.
Arsenal:
I know.
Red Hood:
It’s not your fault.
Arsenal: *annoyed* I know.
Red Hood:
No, Roy. Roy. It’s not your fault.
Arsenal:
Don’t do this to me, man. Not you, man.
Red Hood: *puts arm around Roy* It’s not your fault.
Arsenal: *pushes Jason’s arm away* Screw you! Cut it out, man!
Red Hood:
It’s not your fault.
Arsenal:
*starts to sob heavily* Why is it so hard? I didn’t know it was going to be so hard.
Starfire: …
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.
“Red Hood/Arsenal: Behind the Scenes”…
Red Hood [to the camera]: I guess I’ve learned a little something about what it means to be a good partner.
Arsenal: *yelling from outside* Hey, Jaybird, do you wanna play baseball?
Red Hood: Oh, you freakin – ! Could you leave me alone? You are the neediest guy!
Red Hood: *faces camera again*
Red Hood: *clears throat*
When you have no time for your brother’s nonsense…
Jason: *reading the Gotham Gazette* A local family just got forced out of their own home by ghosts. Who’re they gonna call?
Tim: *pauses from typing on the Batcomputer after working on a case for five hours straight*
Tim: *sighs* The Ghostbusters, Jay?
Jason: No, Tim, their insurance company! That’s just stupid, what you said.
Yeah, Tim. Jason’s got no time for your nonsense right now.
Alfred: Master Bruce, I’m so proud of you. Once again you’ve brought our family to the edge of the abyss and, at the very last minute, you saved us all.
Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian: *nod solemnly*
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.)
“Injustice 2″ gameplay be like…
Red Hood: How about we let bygones be bygones, hmm?
Robin/Nightwing: You shot me in both my knees, then set me on fire. Piss off.
Nightwing: “B-Team” roll call. Hood?
Red Hood: *cocks guns* Here and handsome!
Nightwing: Little D?
Robin: *brandishes katana* Here and crazy!
Nightwing: Red?
Red Robin: *twirls Bo staff* I pity the fool! But also suggest ways he may better himself.
Batman: *facepalms* Hrrrn.
And that it why “Family Movie Nights” now come after “Family Patrol Nights”.
