Cydney,28, Black, she/her Writer in distress currently surviving the VOID 18+ only please and no bigots either, y’-all get on my MF nerves Be Well, Be safe, Stay Spacey
Is there anything sadder than the little chunk of Kikis Delivery Service when Kiki says “I used to really like flying before it was my job” and then gets so burned out that her magic stops working and she cant talk to Jiji anymore and she tries so hard to FORCE the magic that she breaks her mothers broom and stays up all night, alone, trying to make a new one and crying?
And I know it is all ok in the end- Kiki has friends who look out for her and she takes care of herself and finds her place.
But fuck, those 20 minutes just hurt my heart so much.
One of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever heard a dog trainer say “A pushy pet who makes small demands and communicates their needs to you is a safe pet. It means they trust you and aren’t afraid of your reaction if they misbehave and push your buttons a little”
#No revolutionary has a message as counterculture or system-threatening as “Humans are good actually.” #because if people are good #then we must value their lives #and offer them equal opportunities to live healthfully #and offer them meaningful educational opportunities #and provide them with housing and other basic necessities #if humans are good and the human endeavor is worth it #then we must build systems that acknowledge and enact the immense value of each human life

Summary: Jason Todd’s night was going fine, for Gotham standards, anyway, until the Justice League decided to “help.”

He tries to avoid having Jason give everyone a sex talk by reminding him that he’s adopted. This leads to all his kids pretending that this is the first time they’ve heard of it, much to the horror of the League and the exasperation of Bruce.
When Did You Adopt Our Kids? by Deathpetal - https://archiveofourown.org/works/70539141/chapters/183280286
Summary: As the Justice League keeps expanding, more and more younger gen heroes join the fight with them. But something weird keeps happening, they seem to be more comfortable with scary Batman than their actual mentors. And to think, it all started because Batman wanted to find a playmate for Robin the first…
OR: five times the Justice League were baffled to realize their proteges liked interacting with Batman, and the one time they found out why.

"Wait, so Bruce is like no longer our dad right?" Steph's voice was hollow and Jason swallowed. Did it really? "Is the no-killing rule still on?"

Bring Your Robin To Work Day by lemonlimemadness - https://archiveofourown.org/works/60815992
Summary: “So!” Dick says with great fanfare, throwing himself across Bruce’s designated chair with nary a care in the world.
The Justice League look on with a mix of befuddled awe, like they’ve never seen a child dressed up like a traffic light before. Which they haven't. Bruce mentally steels himself as Dick clears his throat. “Why am I here, you ask? Well, when two people love one another very, very much-”
“You’re adopted.” Bruce says.
Or; Bruce lets Dick attend a Justice League meeting on the Watchtower. Bruce has regrets.

Summary: Jason gets caught by the JLA.
Of course, he needs someone to bail him out, and Batman is the supreme authority on the Watchtower and his dad so it makes perfect sense to call him. Unfortunately, Batman is still mad about those warehouses he blew up a few weeks ago, and karma is an asshole.
Justice League, meet Brucie Wayne.

Damian and Jason no longer hate him, he's got his own apartment, he's gotten the big family he's always wanted. So yeah, Tim's likes to think he's made it in life. And then he gets de-aged.
or
The one where Tim gets de-aged while chasing a kidnapping case and although he's cute it starts to bring up lots of uneasy questions about his childhood, none of them good.

Tim has decided he doesn't have the time to wait for things to happen as they did in their original timeline so he's now on a mission to reunite his family, preferably while avoiding some of the trauma they had to endure.

If anything, Dick will make sure he's safe (even if Tim does his best to put himself in danger).
Or Tim decides to speedrun his way to the things he wants in the most chaotic way possible while Dick rushes behind him trying to make sure things don't blow up on their face.

All of My Issues (buried deep inside of me) by loreoftheforgotten -https://archiveofourown.org/works/47343901/chapters/119296552
Summary: Everything about a gala was unbearable, but at the very least it would give him time to observe the Waynes outside of their suits.
It isn’t often he interacts with them as civilians - and really using the word interact is being generous - so at the very least, he has that to look forward to. Sometimes he feels a bit odd, practically idolizing this family that only knows of his existence because of his last name. But it helps.
The loneliness that sometimes feels far too suffocating to be intangible is always lessened by the Waynes. Tim likes to pretend that he’s a part of their family, that they know him and don’t scold him for his fidgeting and actually listen to him.
OR
Tim has made a mistake, he fell asleep and missed his parents leaving the gala and now Bruce Wayne - otherwise known as freaking Batman - thinks he's being abused. Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Tim agrees to stay at Wayne Manor until his parents get back so that Tim can prove they are good parents. They're not abusive, or neglectful or anything!
But the longer Tim stays at Wayne Manor, the harder it gets to pretend to be normal. But he can't let himself be a bother, or the Waynes might just abandon him too.

***
Or, eight-year-old Tim hatches a plot to convince his neighbor to adopt the street kid he brought home with him and gets more than he bargained for in the process.
