Because why be subtle with your metaphors when you can be CRACKED OUT?
maelithil: LALALALALA DICK WITH A BUN IN THE BACK OVEN ALONE AND UNLOVED LALALA
Betty: NEVER SAY BUN IN THE BACK OVEN AGAIN
maelithil: OKAY, BUT THE TRAUMA RESURFACED
Betty: WALTZING MATHILDA, WALTZING MATHILDA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU
maelithil: see, if Dick ever gets pregnant? He damn well gets turned into a woman first
Betty: OH GOOD
Betty: Why doesn't Bruce ever get knocked up?
Bruce: I AM NEVER BOTTOMING AGAIN
Dick: Wait, you have an ass-womb?
maelithil: No, seriously, instead if mind-wiping him? they should have knocked him up
Betty: Seriously, way better plot.
maelithil: they change Batman into a woman and knock him up so he'd have to be off the streets for a year or so!
Betty: It's the ONLY WAY they could get him to take a much needed vacation. [serious nod] J'onn and Zatanna agreed.
maelithil: and knock him up with Dick's kid
Betty: This was all part of the plan! "We're throwing you a surprise pregnancy!"
Betty: Wow, a million times worse than buying someone an unexpected pet.
maelithil: YES
maelithil: but it would make Bruce happy
maelithil: after he got over the morning sickness bit
maelithil: ... hahahaha hovering, worried daddy-to-be!Dick would drive him NUTS
Betty: Gordon: "Batman, you're looking good! You have a kind of glow."
Betty: I may have to post this conversation, or parts of it.
