I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

*electric guitar riff*

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

Some people have been wondering about the raccoon. Listen. Listennn. Don't ask about the raccoon.

[mavaris]

But does the racoon survive the Uruk-Hai? Does he curl up on Aragorn's head, or does he go straight to Faramir? Does he bite Denethor?

[emilybeemartin]

My friend. My colleague. My brother my captain my king. I too have been pondering this question, and in my mind there can be only one ultimate outcome.

A few months later

All hail the High Warden of Gondor.

Epilogue: It ADORES Faramir.

Every time I see this post I’m obligated to reblog and make it your problem too!

[thatsbelievable]

[daco-broman]

shit I missed my window, next week I guess

[the-worm-man]

Reblog on Tuesday to let your followers know it’s safe to leave the bog

[mirthmave]

Abort! They’re not talking about this Tuesday! This Tuesday is shit!

Stay in the bog! I repeat! Stay! In! The! Bog!

For trump supporters:

I hope you have loved ones that are poc. That are queer. That are trans. That are disabled. That are immigrants. That identify as women.

I hope you love them and they love you. And I hope you lose them.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to them. I want them to be okay and happy and thriving away from you. But I deeply hope you lose them. I truly don’t think you’ll learn otherwise.

Bruce dreads Halloween.

Not because of Scarecrow but because it’s the one night of the year he agreed to let the kids dress up on patrol and he can’t take it back. It was an agreement he made with Dick one year and it’s just continued, only now they do group costumes.

There is a group chat and everything and Bruce has no idea what they’re going to go out as until they’re out patrolling.

The first year they did the group costume, they all went out as Batman, only it was their own personal interpretation of Batman. Bruce had to admit they were very creative with their choices with their costumes for colour (Steph, Cass, Duke, and Dick) to weapons (Damian, Jason and Tim).

One year they all went as the Justice League. He may have bribed Barbara for footage of them all in the park pretending to be the hero they chose as well.

There was a year they all went as circus performers and he heard them all complaining about sequins and glitter in places for weeks.

Each year it’s something different and they all stay in character for the entire night.

“You wanna fight someone, you fight me” seemed like a silly rule at first. but after there was more than one batkid living in the Manor at the same time, suddenly the prospect of having to spar with Bruce on the mats because you couldn’t stop yourself from throwing a punch at Tim earlier is terrifying.

[batfsm]

Love the tags.

[lurkinglurkerwholurks]

am now picturing a kid pestering and pestering Bruce to train and he's very reasonably like "not now" because he has responsibilities and tasks so the kid just hecking stiff-arm punches the sibling standing next to them

[dc-sideblog]

[id: three flat color images. The first is Cass as Batgirl leaning over to Bruce as Batman while he types away at something. She says, "Spar?" and he replies "Not now, Cassie, I'm working." The next image is Cass scowling while Bruce continues to work. Tim is coincidentally walking past the two of them, obliviously doing something on a tablet. The third image is Cass punching Tim's lights out while Bruce whips around in his chair.]

[mirthmave]

*A conversation over coms*

Tim: So I have a question

Dick: *wind rustling in the background as he’s moving building to building* shoot

Tim: Well we all know the “you hit your siblings, you spar with Bruce” rule. What’s the deal if we punch Bruce.

All the noise on coms stops.

Dick: That is an excellent question.

Cass: I and now wondering that as well.

Steph: Me too.

Jason: One way to find out. Rock paper scissors to pick the Guinea pig.

Bruce: No.

[everythingisawayoflife]

i saw this tweet on my timeline but imagine one of the batkids giving this as a present to bruce

[mirthmave]

I raise you that all of them have given him one, but they’ve all been customised to look like their caped personas.

[nyahsworld14]

A part of Jason Todd as a character that I will always find tragic is his inability to return to the life he had like other superheroes could. Like nearly every other superhero who has died and come back in DC was fully able to slip right back into the lives they had before. This isn't to say death didn't affect them, but when they came back their relationships were still there. The friends they made even and their superhero personas were still their to pick back up once they were ready.

Not Jason, though Jason comes back from the grave, and nobody even notices. His superhero mantle has already been taken by someone else and the role that he plays in his families life is already being filled by another child who everyone across the board agrees is better than him.

You're telling me that wouldn't drive you insane everyone else gets to slot back into their lives like they never even hit the grave, but not you. Everything that was once yours has been taken away and given to another character while you were rotting in the ground. The worst part being that when you are mentioned at all after your death you're the failure, you are what no one should ever aim to be.

I don't know if it was up to me, I would have also tried to get back at the people who claimed to love me in every way possible and then immediately never spoke a good word about me once I was in the grave.

[parkjammys]

the audacity of the official dc account to even post this 😭

[mirthmave]

I formally would like to ask DC what they have been reading to think that we want to fix him.

Give him a happy life - yes (because he deserves it).

Fix him - no.

Bruce is such a dad lol

“He just wants me to stay warm”

[mirthmave]

Bruce’s love language is acts of service

[foerchen]

Next fic: bodyswap

Jason: *in Dick‘s body*

Jason: I feel awful. What is wrong with your body???

Tim: *absolutely obliterating a punching bag in Jason‘s body*

Dick: *looks affronted at Jason in his body*

Dick: My body is fine! What do you mean??? You aren‘t the one who needs to consume an unholy amount of caffeine to function!

Jason: I feel like someone is about to push me off a fucking cliff, Dickhead.

Dick: *grins suddenly*

Dick: Ohhhh. Lemme fix that for you, Little Wing.

Dick: *walks up to Jason and hugs him tightly*

Jason: *relaxes before tensing up*

Jason: WAIT. YOU NEED HUGS TO FUNCTION?!?!

(Next fic is in the works! o7 It isn’t the one I had originally planned cuz my brain went brrr. Have a good one, my lovely birdwatchers! <3)

[mirthmave]

Just going to file this post under “Dick is a sensory seeker and needs to be flippy and huggy for regulation purposes”.

[timmydraker]

Everyone at dinner, chilling:

Tim’s head falling so hard on the table the whole thing shakes: *dead silent*

Dick: *picking him up and holding him like Ivan The Terrible* Oh my god! Are you okay???

Bruce: how much sleep have you had, chum?

Tim: there is a man in the corner

Dick: ₒₕ ₘy gₒd

[mirthmave]

The man in the corner was Jason.

He went to get some pain killers Alfred keeps in the corner stand and there was just enough shadow to obscure him.

Problem is one of the effects of the Lazarus pit is that his eyes now glow.

So Tim is just seeing a shadowy figure with glowing eyes in his lack of sleep addled state and Dick is seeing Jason’s new party trick for the first time.

[unfortunately-obsessed]

@bruciemilf have you ever considered that despite being under Alfred's wardship, Bruce likely went to boarding school (Gotham Academy) because of Jacob?

[bruciemilf]

Ooo! I like to think Jacob was so busy educating him in, yk, VIOLENCE, he most likely… Forgot until tiny Kate reminded him. Like hey he does need to go back to school btw.

I think it’s really interesting because it’s never CONFIRMED Battinson went to school at all in the movie. He gives off homeschooled vibes.

[unfortunately-obsessed]

He doesss lol. Battinson look like he was an unsettling and unnerving kid too

But generally on comics it's kinda pretty consistent? he trains/lives a bit with Alfred, goes to boarding school somewhere on his pre-teens, tours the world and then meets Ra's

I was thinking of more– well. Jacob wasn't happy with Martha and Thomas leaving the boy to Alfred, so if he couldn't get Bruce's wardship? He somehow forced Alfred's hand to send Bruce away... Y'know. Angst

[mirthmave]

This has got me thinking what Jacob would have done to force Alfred’s hand.

We’ve seen Alfred stand firm against a number of people when it comes to Bruce and the kids. It makes me wonder what Jacob did or what he had on Alfred to get him to give in.

Or was Alfred more easily persuaded then and seeing the impact it had on Bruce made him into the Alfred we know today?

[my-random--thoughts-deactivated]

[mirthmave]

I always love seeing them through the fence. They’re nosey little buggers and have to see who is in the driveway.

The moment I say “Hi Babies” their tails are going so fast and they’re running inside to meet me at the door.

[bruciemilf]

No thoughts, only AU where Thomas Wayne is the resident doctor from Park Row who occasionally curb stomps mobsters and cops

SAVE ME, GUN BATMAN, SAVE ME

[mirthmave]

Thank you so much @bruciemilf, now I’m going to be picturing this as I plan out my Thomas and Martha Wayne Live Cape AU…

((Piccolo then choked on his drink and had a coughing fit.))

Was thinking about how funny things turn out with Piccolo and the Son family and this silly idea came out.
