Thinking how whenever Alfred misses his grandkids or notices Bruce brooding from empty nest syndrome/not many batkids hanging around the manor.
Alfred just sighs and starts baking cookies or other baked goods. Before the cookies are even out of the oven and cooled down a line has already formed and each batkid has a plate in their hands as they wait for the goodies.
Tim lining up first cause he just so happened to be in the kitchen to refill his coffee cup, Damian next cause he went to get some pet treats, Jason is behind him (Jason originally was gonna snag some leftovers/borrow equipment), and Dick is now on his motorcycle coming from Bluehaven. Steph, Duke, and Cass, of course are gonna be there after being notified by Tim.
Bruce happens to always be the last one in line, but he doesn’t care cause he’s secretly happy that all his kids are at the manor. Alfred is his proud that his baking still gets his grandkids together 😌.
I like to think that before Jason died, he start a little collection of library cards and continues the collection through his travels or whenever he's renewing his library card after he’s revived.
Before Jason's death- imagine Bruce taking Jason to the library after taking him in and upon Jason’s request. Jason is panicking and struggling to choose which library card design while we have Bruce trying to tell him that it's okay (the entire batfam- Bruce, Alfred, Dick, and Barbara at the time ends up getting one of each design for Jason to feel a little more confident of his choice and of course, Jason borrow theirs whenever he feels like it)
Bruce and Alfred giving Jason their library cards from their youth which he's fascinated by how different and unique the designs are
During/After Jason's death- I would say Barbara put aside some library card designs that she thinks Jason would like (benefits of being a librarian) or Dick collecting a few from his travels/Blüdhaven in a way to honor Jason
After Jason's return to the batfam, Jason is complete "awe" of all the past library card designs that he missed during his death and has a big binder for all of them
Bonus: If there's a special and limited edition of library cards based on strong female authors (Example- Jane Austen for Pride and Prejudice , Mary Shelley for Frankenstein, Charlotte Brontë for Jane Eyre, and Emily Brontë for Wuthering Heights) in different locations like Gotham City , Metropolis, Central City , and Star City.
Which Bruce either sends out the rest of his kids or uses connections to get the other card designs for Jason who is panicking and struggling to decide which city to use his alias to get (Bruce def reminisces a young Jason before his death) or Jason annoying his family about it
Inspired by the limited edition of Laufeybookclub collaborative cards and tiktok videos of California Library Cards Collection
Plus the hcs of Tim Drake having photos during his stalking days (pre-robin) for his hobby and honestly why not let Jason have one too!
I could see Bruce buying Legos for Tim and Damian as a way to bond with them and bring them closer, but they forget about patrol and make a whole Lego Gotham City
Imagine Tim and Damian presenting a whole PowerPoint presentation or explaining why they need another box of legos or trying to calmly explain why the details of a custom mini Lego figurines matter so much when there’s a slice era
Just thinking how many times Clovis had to be the bigger person/ role model for his siblings towards someone who comes to him for help with sleeping problems after bullying him
[At Cabin 15]
Bully from any other cabin: Heyyy…im sorry for earlier…please help me 😅
Clovis’s siblings: 😒😠 *whispering amongst each other and glaring at the bully after being woken up. Looking at Clovis and ofc respecting any decision he makes even if they disagree (also waiting patiently to go back to bed after Clovis decides and possibly plotting how they can get back at the bully without getting caught by Clovis)*
Clovis: How can I help?/ What’s ur sleeping problem? *I’m not mad, just disappointed and not surprise you’re here face* 🙂 *also asking the bully more follow-up questions on their situation and showing empathy*
I just personally think Clovis is a really nice person who just deserves better and yea kinda in my feels rn.
Headcanons of how Cabins decorating a Sleepy Hypnos child's hair
Personally I believe that each Hypnos child has soft curly hair which makes it easy for other campers from other Cabins to decorate their hair out of boredom and it slowly becomes a competition between the cabins on which cabin does it the most and which style is their favorite, etc. and here's how each cabin can tell ~this was inspired by some IG reels and a post by @/clovis-enthusiast
**Side Note: I would say some staff of CHB join in to represent some gods to avoid any potential conflicts**
Cabin 1 -Zeus: gold metallic lighting bolts
Cabin 2- Hera: peacock feathers (I like to think Argus decided to represent her cabin and protect Hera's honor in a way)
Cabin 3- Poseidon: little orange starfishes (like the ones in the Aquamarine movie-2006) and seashells
Cabin 4- Demeter: wheat and flowers (they negotiated with the Aphrodite Cabin on which flowers- the ones that represent/symbolizes any type of love or have heart shapes-i.e. heart shaped forget me not flowers are only for the cabin 10 and ofc both cabins have a list of which type their cabins can use)
Cabin 5- Ares: plastic sword toothpicks and mini metal spike balls (which the cabin later had to change them to those spiky porcupine balls for safety because Chiron said so)
Cabin 6- Athena: owl feathers, olive branch crown, maybe ripped up papers with favorite quotes from books
Cabin 7- Apollo: guitar string flowers, ripped up papers with poems/ music lyrics, music note paper clips
Cabin 8- Artemis: silver little stars (they only participate when they visit CHB)
Cabin 9- Hephaestus: nuts and bolts, flowers made out of wires
Cabin 10- Aphrodite: butterfly/flower hair clips, bow hair clips, hearts, and flowers and honestly anything that the cabin sees that's fit and pretty (the cabin was also asked to tone it down just so to keep it fun for all cabins and ofc it's no surprise that this cabin goes all out)
Cabin 11- Hermes: wind-up chatter teeth toys or those fake insects
Cabin 12- Dionysus: grapevine floral crown with little grapes
Cabin 13- Hades: tiny skeleton heads
Cabin 14-Iris: little rainbow hair clips or anything rainbow related
Cabin 15- Hypnos: probably leftover pillow feathers if they're awake long enough
Cabin 16- Nemesis: mini balance scales (the Hephaestus cabin def helped make them just to ensure safety)
Cabin 17- Nike: laurel's leaves (Apollo cabin was nice to give this one up-also yes I did look up some symbols to represent each god/goddess)
Cabin 18- Hebe: tiny clay cups/mugs of any style
Cabin 19- Tyche: mini four leave clovers/ horseshoes (as she is the goddess of fortune, luck, and prosperity)
Cabin 20- Hecate: battery operated flashlights in shapes of torches
Fanfic idea: Stalker kid Tim running night classes for villians on how to identify each Robin and it somehow ends up with the villians getting more confused and stressed. Tim trying hard not to get mad and having to correct them by pulling out his personal journals/powerpoints designated to each villian that lists out details of the day, picture of the fight scene, which Robin, and crime.
One of the night classes:
Tim: Okay, okay let’s try this again *laser pointing to a Robin image* which Robin is this one?
Villian: umm… *looks at other villians for help, but they’re also unsure*
~slightly inspired by that scene in Batman: The Brave and the Bold #19
Tim says he will forgive a sibling for something in “5-7 business days” and everyone assumes it’s a joke. He is in fact deadly serious. He schedules his emotional processing carefully, it’s listed on his planner and GooCal and everything, and he’s not going to pencil it in on a weekend and ruin his day off. His sibling will just have to wait for the normally scheduled emotional processing like everyone else.
I’m sorry but I can’t stop thinking about an AU where Selina decides to take in one of the robins before Bruce find them. She’s never really considered being a parental figure but she could use a side kick and they seem plenty willing to get into trouble so why not.
in this AU it would probably make sense for it to be Tim. She decides to break into the Drake Mansion to steal some of their valuable things that rich people wouldn’t miss and they happened to leave behind a clever child who is too starry eyes at meeting someone who’s wearing a mask. His parents sadly pass away while on that archeological dig. Thank god Selina was there and able to take him in and after a little illegal forging he is now Timothy Kyle son of the Catwoman.
So she takes this boy in and teaches him all the things a boy his age should know like grappling hooks and lock picking and also helps him with his homework and lets him take out stacks of books from the library. He starts calling her Mom and well who is she to tell him he can’t do that. She also makes her little black haired blue eyed son a suit and teaches him how to leap off Gotham rooftops like she and Batman have done since before he was born.
Of course the vigilantes eventually run into her and her little kitten and react accordingly.
Jason Robin!: Wow I can’t believe Catwoman has a sidekick this is so cool.Hey Batman are you alright?
Bruce (unsure of whether he is going to dead faint or cry. Mentally trying to recall what he looked like as a child, when he and Selina first started this Cat and Mouse game, and trying to do pregnancy math because his on again off again lover is standing in front of him with a little boy with he exact colouring who calls her Mom and also trying to estimate child support backpay)
Catwoman seeing the pause and not realizing what it means decides to take her sidekick and dip. However as they are getting away the kid takes a single moment to wave at Batman and excitedly tell him that he and Robin were his heroes. Batman is still reeling.
okay. I may have a secret love child with Catwoman. An adorable boy who is way too young to be running around the city. (He is at least as old as Dick was when he started out but Bruce isn’t thinking anything right now beyond Oh God I have a secret son)
He tries to keep it a secret until he can track them back down but Jason happens to offhandedly mentions Catwoman and her kid who looks like he should be a Robin show as really smart and weird. Bruce’s heart stops as Alfred raises the Eyebrow of Death directly at him and mentions how he hopes that Miss Kyle and her little one will be dropping by soon. (He has already left Selina five voice messages and will continue doing so every two hours). Alfred also tells Dick which creates even more chaos because WTF Bruce did you seriously knock up Catwoman!!
Then a few days later he runs into the kid again and before he can ask him any questions such as how old are you and do you happen to know if you have a father- kid asks Batman about being a detective. You see he also wants to be a detective and he’s trying to investigate the mayor for fraud using the Gotham Museums as his cover. His mom said that Batman is the greatest detective in the world so could he possibly help?
It’s yes. It’s immediately a yes and with every interaction they have Bruce becomes more and more convinced that this is his bio kid until the day he manages to get an hour alone with Selina and beg to arrange joint custody.
Imagine Alfred running up to Bruce and Jason after each patrol to see if this would be the day he finally meets his new grandson only to be disappointed and tries to learn more about Tim from whatever information Jason and Bruce mentions after patrol
Imagine Jason finding out and now he just asks Tim at random moments when he’s gonna finish the incompleted ones (imagine the face Tim makes whenever Jason asks)
1. Tim either holding a bag of food for the turkeys while running away from an army of adulting turkeys led by Damian who has a stick with a little leaf pointing which direction
2. Tim and Damian with their army of adult turkeys
Christmas
Kon and Jon: almost done decorating an average size Christmas tree inside the house
Damian and Tim: outside- one is using a crane that’s holding a giant Christmas tree and the other acting as those aircraft marshals (the ppl with lights wands) guiding them where to put the tree.
(head)canon that anytime a hermes camper finds a hypnos kid hardcore snoozin around camp, they immediately position them into the family guy death pose. do they even know what family guy is? probably not. there's just some deep, profound instinct within them that guides them to complete what must be done.
Headcanon on dating Hypnos Children: Anyone who dates a child of Hypnos, never ever had a dream of them cheating on them!
I also like to think that this is the only rule that all the Hypnos children agree to bend regarding looking into someone else’s dream without needing to discuss it (if there is a discussion- I think Clovis would be the last one to agree or the first one to bring it up), but there’s def other reasons that they bend this rule.
Adding on, I like to think the single Hypnos kids have played a role in other people’s dreams where they visit people going through rough times, but they (Hypnos kids) change their appearance or be faceless kinda like those dreams of like the faceless dream guy, you had a relationship/date with. But their auras are usually the same tho.
~ Now the only issue that the ones in relationships have to deal with is constantly reassuring their partners that they’ve never visited other people’s dream and did like dream dates with other ppl while in a relationship!
