Due to a potential family health crisis, updates to my fics will probably slow down and/or stop for a bit. If I know for sure that I'm going to be taking a break I'll keep you updated, but for now just be patient with me

Redheaded stepchild: someone please tell bart that me marrying dick doesnt make damian my stepson
Son meta allowed: wouldnt you be his sibling-in-law tho
Redheaded stepchild: yes
coffee gremlin: dont try to convince him otherwise itll just make him keep thinking about it and youll never hear the end of it
Redheaded stepchild: so your advice is ignore him until he goes away
coffee gremlin: or give him something else to think about
coffee gremlin: i kept my crush on kon from him for three months by asking him if poptarts count as ravioli
Son meta allowed: that worked for 3 months?
coffee gremlin: well he asked the whole team and it turned into a Thing
Dickiebird: okay but why does bart think damis my kid
Redheaded stepchild: his argument is basically that being the robin to your batman overrules being bruces bio kid
coffee gremlin: i mean
coffee gremlin: hes not exactly wrong
Son meta allowed: but now bruce is batman again so that doesnt make sense
Redheaded stepchild: i never said it did
Dickiebird: @murderbird hey help us solve this
murderbird: What?
Dickiebird: scroll up
murderbird: I do not see how marrying Grayson would make West my step parent, as he is no longer my legal guardian
coffee gremlin: i think this more about emotions than legal stuff
murderbird: So then why would marrying into the family affect it?
murderbird: Marriage is a legal contract between individuals, as overseen by the government
Dickiebird: its more than that, its about making a commitment to the person you love
Redheaded stepchild: i mean there are also tax benefits
Dickiebird: thats not the point tho
Son meta allowed: were getting off topic
Son meta allowed: i think the big question is if damian sees dick as a father figure
murderbird: …
murderbird: No comment
Dickiebird: (that means yes)
murderbird: Do not put words in my mouth, Grayson
coffee gremlin: @Redheaded stepchild congrats on your knife son

From off screen, Vicki Vale can be heard asking “what do you have to say about the rumors that you’re having an affair with Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent?” Bruce smiles, pleasant enough that only those who know him well would be able to tell he’s screaming internally, and replies “I have far too much respect for Mrs. Lane to interfere in her marriage.” Next to the camera, a woman laughs. “I appreciate it,” Lois can be heard saying before the footage cuts off.

This house is a fucking nightmare
I lived bitch: I am now taking bets on which siblings are going to end up being taller than Dick
I lived bitch: I already am and Cass is fully grown so our contenders are: Tim, Duke, and Damian
Dickiebird: what the fuck jay
Dickiebird: im not even short!!!
I lived bitch: You aren’t tall either
The day shift: wait how tall are you exactly
Dickiebird: 5’7”
The day shift: hmm yeah i say me and damian will be taller than you
coffee gremlin: fuck you i could still have a growth spurt
murderbird: At your age it is extremely unlikely that you will grow any further
coffee gremlin: bold words for someone falling way behind on the growth curve
murderbird: Given the heights of my mother and father, it is most likely I will not stay short forever
Batdad: Well, according to Alfred I was much taller by the time I was your age
murderbird: Irrelevant
coffee gremlin: lmao
Favorite child: littlest brother :)
murderbird: You will regret that sentiment
Dickiebird: okay but im the oldest
Dickiebird: someone has to be shorter than me
Favorite child: right here :p
Dickiebird: well i was hoping for more than one
I lived bitch: Okay but none of you are placing bets
The day shift: we all know you only brought this up for the drama
I lived bitch: You got me there
Redheaded stepchild: @Dickiebird babe why is damian standing on the counter
coffee gremlin: ksjdgpiduvb

Dickface
thanks for triggering my height dysphoria asshole
Little Wing
Oh fuck
I’m sorry I didn’t realize you were dysphoric about that
Dickface
well i am
Little Wing
5’7 isn’t even short
Dickface
not helpful jay
Little Wing
Yeah, sorry
I won’t bring it up again
Dickface
thanks
its really frustrating cause im just short enough to feel dysphoric
but tall enough that people dont take me seriously about it
at least when tim complains about his height people get it
Little Wing
I really am sorry
Can I do anything to help?
Dickface
nah im just frustrated and wanted to vent
Little Wing
Fair
Roy and Kori say hi btw
Dickface
!!!
tell them i say hi back!
Little Wing
Roy says you should get your ass over here and hang out with him
Kori said basically the same thing, but she was way nicer about it
Dickface
right now?
Little Wing
Yep
Kori says I have to make up for being an ass by spending time with you
Dickface
lmao
okay ill be there soon
ily
Little Wing
Yeah, yeah
Love you too
Notes:
This chapter is not intended to call anyone out, but some of the comments I got on the last chapter were really frustrating. Just because 5'7" doesn't seem short to you doesn't mean I don't really struggle with it. So getting comments about how 5'7" 'isn't short' on a chapter where I was venting about my height dysphoria really didn't feel good
And I'm not asking anyone to apologize, I know those comments were made in good faith. In all honesty, I don't want any apologies, because I don't want to have to respond to them. I just needed to say this

Dickiebird: someone please tell clark this theory
Redheaded stepchild: on it
Dickiebird: you are the love of my life
coffee gremlin: thats adorable but shut up im not done

coffee gremlin: they see us being all broody and lonely think they need to fix us cause being broody lonely on krypton is a death sentence
