Batfamily strategy meetings be like…

Tim: Listen, I’m an integral member of this team and my voice needs to be heard.

Jason: Your pre-pubescent girl screams are going to be duly noted.

Dick: Tim’s bringing someone to the gala tonight.

Jason: Like a real someone or an imaginary someone?

Dick: Tim is not wrong very often…

Damian: But he is annoying all the time. -Tt-

Dancing with your “fiancé” at a Wayne Enterprises gala be like…

Tam: I think your hand is supposed to be on my hip.

Tim: Right. Apparently I learned the girls’ part of this dance. Would you mind leading?

Tam: I’m sorry I yelled at you.

Tim: It was our first fight. You know, it’s a big step if our relationship were remotely real.

Jason [to Tim]: *out loud* Why’s dad such a poopy head?

Dick [to Barbara]: *whispers* That’s why he gets timeouts.

Red Hood and Arsenal’s New 52 Safe House, an origin story…

Jason: Think you could run a few background checks on potential roomies?

Tim: You want me to use underground Wayne Enterprises resources for your personal matter, Jason?

Jason: I don’t think Dick would mind.

Tim: You know that?

Jason: I don’t. But if I can’t find a roommate, I may have to go back to sleeping on the sofa in his apartment, and I can’t imagine he’d like that.

Tim: Good point. I’m on it.

Mornings at the Manor…

Tim: *screams from the kitchen* OH, NO!!!

Dick: *bursts out of his room* Oh, no, what???

Tim: *with crumbs all over his face* I did it again. I was sleep-eating. That explains that dream.

While zip-lining through Nanda Parbat to escape the League of Assassins…

Tam: You know, I’ve heard a lot about you.

Red Robin: And some of it was good?

Tam: Mostly.

Red Robin: What’s that mean?

Tam: My father called you “a catch”.

Red Robin: I love your father.

So, wow, thank you…

I just saw how many followers this blog has as of today, and I’m in awe.

I have all those brilliant film, TV, and song writers who came up with such amusing, deep, or iconic lines to thank. I’m really just borrowing their work and creating a context around them based on comic canon (and, occasionally, my own headcanons). It won’t always be accurate, but the point is to make it fun and imaginable.

I see a quote, and 90% of the time, I’ll instantly have a character in mind to “speak” it and a situation in which the conversation could happen. That’s how rich the DC Universe is. Years and years of material to draw inspiration from.

I do re-word some dialogue to fit the context I want (or because the grammar seems uncomfortably off to me).

I love the slice-of-life kind of things, and I do imagine that even superheroes have very mundane, domestic (even silly) moments that give them joy in between those of chaos and conflict.

So, for those of you who follow because you’re just as amused, inspired, and fangirl-y as I am, thanks for dropping by!
