Reblog to give a trans woman a warm cup of soup

[at the safehouse]

Jason: Okay, windows are locked, doors are locked. I'll be fine.

Jason: *climbs into bed*

Damian, under the bed: Hey.

Jason: LITERALLY HOW THE FUCK—

I just love the concept of Damian and Kon going to a Pride Parade when they we're invited by Tim and Jon. And Jon and Tim would say, "Thanks for being here, it means so much to me to know you're an ally"

And Damian and Kon just say, "Ally?" With this look on their faces

au where Supersons Jon and Damian are in college and are benched unless something big happens because their dads says this is their last chance to be kids before they're superheros and adults. They live on campus together in a different city than they're both used to. They join clubs/organizations, they date people, make friends, and of course Damian pushes importance on their grades so they join NHS together.

At the end, when they graduate and come home, everyone notices a difference in them. Damian knows how to talk to people better, Jon's intelligence goes up, Damian is more patient, Jon is better at reading the room when it comes to how loud or choatic he's being. They're also a lot closer now and work together better. But the friends they made at university end up figuring out taht their Robin and Superboy when they have a graduation party.

can you post something about your batkid au pls

Absolutely!! I'll take any chance I get to post about my fave AU

Damian resents going to galas, right? So whenever he's forced to go, he'll sneak off, and hide in the rafters like a demon child

(he also wears his super suit under his normal suit just in case)

At one of said galas a bomb goes off, and everyone's in a panic running out the building. Damian was lucky that the rafters remained almost untouched, and slips into his super suit, and starts helping people who are stuck or can't get out get out

As he's finishing up, he catches a glimpse of his father fighting with several police officers and firemen, trying to get into the building, because he thinks Damian's still in there

Bruce, screaming and sobbing for someone to go get his son:

Damian in Bat Kid uniform:

batfam au where bruce is just purely Brucie Wayne, and all his kids are secretly vigilantes (he is utterly clueless)

After he adopts dick

Dick: *trying to sneak out the window*

Brucie: “Dick my son, where are you off to on this glorious evening”

Dick: “erm. a party.”

Brucie: “have fun I hope you ‘slay’ 🥳

Dick “haha.. yeah” *jumps out the window*

—

Jason-

Jason: *also trying to sneak out the window*

Brucie: “Are you also a party-boy like your brother?”

Jason: “No Im going to go beat people up”

Brucie: “So youve gotten your brothers sense of humor ^v^”

—

Tim-

Brucie: “Tim why do you never get any sleep?? I’m worried”

Tim: “I’m. Studying for AP exams.”

Brucie: “still you need to sleep :(”

*tims watch buzzes*

Tim: “Haha!!! I need to. go study with Dick and Jason now. bye Bruce”

Brucie: “At this point I’d rather you constantly going out to parties like they did”

—

Damian-

Brucie: “Dick I cannot believe you have been taking your 8 year old brother out until god knows when?????”

Damian: “Father we ar-“

Dick: “YES BRUCE IM SORRY FOR BEING SO IRRESPONSIBLE AND LETTING A CHILD GO OUT AT NIGHT. NO REASON A CHILD SHOULD BE GOING OUTSIDE.”

—

Brucie: “Alfred I feel like my kids are keeping a secret from me…”

*moment of silence*

Brucie: “No theyd never keep anything from me. my darling children.”

If your plot feels flat, STUDY it! Your story might be lacking…

Stakes - What would happen if the protagonist failed? Would it really be such a bad thing if it happened?

Thematic relevance - Do the events of the story speak to a greater emotional or moral message? Is the conflict resolved in a way that befits the theme?

Urgency - How much time does the protagonist have to complete their goal? Are there multiple factors complicating the situation?

Drive - What motivates the protagonist? Are they an active player in the story, or are they repeatedly getting pushed around by external forces? Could you swap them out for a different character with no impact on the plot? On the flip side, do the other characters have sensible motivations of their own?

Yield - Is there foreshadowing? Do the protagonist’s choices have unforeseen consequences down the road? Do they use knowledge or clues from the beginning, to help them in the end? Do they learn things about the other characters that weren’t immediately obvious?

Umbrella Academy Season Three Bloopers

What does "dead dove don't eat" mean? I'd Google it but I'm afraid of getting graphic images of deceased birds in the results.

It’s a meme from an old episode of Arrested Development. You’ve seen it here on tumblr, but not always with the original context. 

The character sees a paper bag in the fridge labelled “Dead Dove Do Not Eat.” He takes the bag out of the fridge, opens it up, makes a disgusted face, and then the famous “I don’t know what I expected.”

There really was a dead dove in the bag.

When you see a fic tagged with “dead dove do not eat” it basically means, “this fic is clearly labelled (tagged) indicating content that some people will not want to read. If you read it anyway, it’s your own fault. I warned you.”

It can also be interpreted as “See those tags and warnings? I’m not joking around. Pay attention to them.”

it bothers me a lot when people refer to Allison in S3 as being in her ~villain era~ when that situation was more nuanced than that oversimplification, and 99% of what she did Five has been doing for two seasons, and nobody ever referred to him as being in any era, villain or not

any damian and tim bonding headcannons? since dc is utterly set on making them hate each other urgh

Once in a while Tim likes to knock Damian down a peg by reminding him he already discovered Batman and Robin's identity while Damian was in diapers

Damian showed up to Tim's room on a random Saturday afternoon. It took some prodding to figure out the petting zoo got a new goat, but the adults were busy and he wasn't accustomed to asking for "frivolous" things like that

Damian: "Do you have games on your phone?"

Tim, handing Damian his phone: "No"

Pet photoshoots are one thing, but consider: pet music videos

Damian is jealous of how the law keeps him from doing things meanwhile Tim has freedom as an emancipated minor. Tim responds by saying "haha loser"

Tim is in Camp "If you ruin Damian's excitement I'll frame you for tax fraud 4 months from now"

Tim's playlist gets put through the Damian Test, which is like Rotten Tomatoes except Damian plays it for Titus to see how he reacts. Tim has a solid 22% approval rate

Damian's a vegetarian but he'll still fight Tim over the wishbone

Damian stays inside with the dogs during Fourth of July fireworks. Tim swings by to drop a cup of hot chocolate and sneak his dirty laundry into Damian's hamper

Tim's favorite "-core" aesthetic is Microsoft Windows Landscape Screensaver Core. Damian's is Change Your Brother's Microsoft Windows Landscape Screensaver To A Lungfish Core

Tim let Damian drive home one night. Damian took two wrong exits, almost rear-ended a truck, and kept forgetting to use his blinker. When Tim said, "I thought you knew how to drive" Damian replied, "Yes. I never said I drove well. Come on, Drake, I can hardly reach the brakes" (Tim also had a small moment of being proud that Damian picked up his sense of humor)

Damian convinced Tim to chaperone his group on a class field trip to the harbor because Damian wanted to dig through the sludge for evidence on a case

When Damian tells him not to do something, that's when Tim stops and re-evaluates the kind of danger he's willing to put himself in

Tim's apartment was stocked with frozen pizza, coffee, Doritos, and Mountain Dew prior to moving in. Damian's housewarming gift was an apple

Damian occasionally peels and puts an orange on Tim's desk when he's gone too long without a snack

Unlike Dick, Tim doesn't censor himself around Damian, and unlike Jason, he doesn't avoid uncomfortable topics for the sake of not getting in trouble with Bruce. Thus, Tim taught Damian what the peach emoji actually means

Damian: "Drake, how do you like your egg?"

Tim: "Scrambled"

Damian: "Too bad. Pennyworth forbade me from cooking"

They veered from patrol on a side quest to try Jokerized seasoning on top of as many things as they could

Tim once napped through a Wayne Enterprises fire drill. He woke up to firefighters knocking at his window with Damian next to them making an L on his forehead

When Tim went off on a mission with Young Justice, Damian packed him a lunch box consisting of a loaf of bread, two 5-hour energy shots, a flash grenade, Cheese Viking band-aids, Damian's lucky pen, a fake ID, and a handwritten note saying "I'm stealing your pants. Don't expect them back"

I just read your Fuyumi character analysis and it made me see her in a totally different light. I was one of the people that thought she was easily forgiving her father and forcing her siblings to do the same but after reading your analysis I realized that was wrong. I see now that she isn’t selfish as I first thought. I can see that her actions are more of defense and self preservation than forgiveness and it made me feel some sort of appreciation for her struggles and her love for her siblings.

So I wanted to ask if you had a Rei character analysis because I would love to read it. Your analysis are awesome.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my Fuyumi post. I’m pleased to hear you found it an interesting read, and I can only be glad if it gave you some food for thought on a character I love so much :’) 

To answer your question, I haven’t written anything extensive on Rei yet, and certainly not anything solely focused on her. Because of how little screen time she gets, I find it much harder to get a cohesive read of her goals and motivations. Her lack of backstory and internal narration leave a lot of unanswered questions. But I wanted to thank you for asking about her anyway, because your ask gave me a push to try and get something together. It won’t be as thorough as my other todofam meta, and it will contain a lot of guessing, but I’m putting it out there anyway. Maybe I’ll add more to it later on, if we ever get some more info on her. 

On Rei, and the double-edged sword of Choices

As the title prefaces, Rei puts a lot of importance on making your own choices. Despite the fact that she’s often depicted as having little agency, a core belief of hers seems to be that even when your options are limited, you can make the most of them and find happiness by confidently choosing your path forward, and sticking to it through the end. 

[more under the cut]

It’s because of this mindset that she’s able to see marrying Enji as her own informed choice. From her perspective, she didn’t agree to it because of external pressure from her family, but rather because Rei wanted this for the Himuras’ sake. Now, whether this is entirely true or not, and she was “sold off” for money and prestige like Touya says, we don’t know for sure. But for the purpose of this speculation, it's not really important to determine whose choice the arranged marriage really was; what matters is that Rei thinks she walked into it by her free will. 

What she says to Shouto here (read right to left) gives us a little more insight. This is her response to Shouto's fear that his circumstances (=being trained by a cruel person) will dictate the outcome of his actions. 

Essentially, Shouto's scared of going along with Enji's will, because he doesn't want Enji to make him into the type of hero who hurts others. And Rei steps in and tells him, "it's okay, you wouldn't end up like that, because being a hero is something you want for yourself, not just to crown Enji's aspirations. You wouldn’t be a puppet in his hands that does what he wants, but your own person pursuing your own goals. Keep your eyes firmly set on the man you want to become, and you will get there." 

Envisioning the future you want to achieve is the crucial part here. When the proposal of an arranged marriage was on the table, Rei tells us she didn't have many options in front of her. In that sense, she too was limited by her circumstances and by her blood. But she agreed to it, and I quote, "hoping, if nothing else, that [she] would keep smiling." In other words, Rei might not have wanted to marry Enji, per se, but maybe she wasn't as opposed to the idea of making a family of her own. A part of her thought she'd still find happiness (maybe even fulfillment) as a wife and a mother. 

And at least at the beginning, I think she might've been, too. Happy, that is. At the very least, she loved her children. Back then, Enji was still an… okay father. He planned to live vicariously through his children, and that's not the ideal mindset behind having a child, but he had yet to act on it; the family dynamics weren't as tense and toxic as they become the longer he went without achieving his ambitions. Fuyumi's birth wasn't planned as a replacement like her younger siblings, a demand from a man obsessed with his goals. It was Rei’s idea to conceive her, to give little Touya a sibling close in age so that they could support each other. 

What this tells us is that even if Rei knew she was expected to bear Enji’s children, up to that point, she still had a vision of a future where her kids were healthy and fulfilled, and Rei too, with them. Thus, she actively took the initiative to make the family a happy nest despite the not so happy circumstances behind the union itself. 

Then Enji starts growing more and more obsessed with an heir, and Rei starts properly fearing her husband.

This is where things get complicated, and also when Rei betrays her beliefs. As I went over, she puts a lot of weight into making your own choices, but when Enji’s temper gets worse and worse and he stops asking, Rei begins surrendering to his will. This, despite knowing how Touya will see right through the intent behind Natsuo’s conception, and realize they are finally replacing him. 

To her credit, Rei does attempt to protest, to stand her ground. She’s not unkind, and she doesn’t want to cause unjust suffering to her kid. She's aware that being replaced will crush him, and that knowing so and persisting anyway is cruel of them. But for someone who values choices so much, she chooses to stay. She could’ve walked away with the kids and gotten out of dodge. That wouldn’t have stopped Enji, of course, he could’ve gotten married again, but she wouldn’t have been an accomplice. 

I want to make clear that this is not me condemning her for being too scared to oppose Enji in any substantial way. It’s the story itself that draws attention to this. Touya spells out her complicity, and it’s something we are asked to take notice of. Despite trying her best, Rei is depicted as a flawed mother who made mistakes as well, particularly in raising Touya. 

It’s subtle, but it’s there, and this line here is particularly telling. We know that Touya pushes back against the idea that Rei had the option to say no to marrying Enji. Since she was poor, and her family needed it, Touya states that she only had the illusion of a choice. Agreeing to it was an inevitability. Like training until he can be stronger than All Might was inevitable for him, too. 

Now, Touya thinks of it that way because has a sharply different mindset than her. From his perspective, both him and his mother have no other options than to perform the role they’re thrown into. While Rei thinks she’s responsible for her decisions, Touya reckons there was only ever one path in front of her (and him), aka that of bearing the burden of one's legacy. By being born into an impoverished family that used to have prestige and power, Rei’s destiny was already written for her. Just like how, by being born as Endvr’s son, Touya’s fate was already decided as well. This fits into his idea of predestination, of the straight or warped tracks he mentions to Shouto. 

So Touya frames Rei as someone lacking agency, someone who cannot change the tracks of her life. He does it to make a point about himself, to state that doesn’t have any alternatives, either. But his word choice happens to be… brutally ironic. 

When he says “you had no choice” in the panel above, in Japanese he’s echoing his dad. 

Specifically, he’s echoing Enji when he said he “had no choice but” to have more children. Nominally, to make Touya stop training in secret. In truth, to have a more suitable heir who could beat All Might. 

I'm not sure if Touya's wording itself is intended as a callback, but the fact that he accuses Rei of "being guilty too" in that same scene makes me think we're supposed to think of it anyway. 

We know that somewhere after Touya snapped at Rei here, she had just as much of a hard time facing him as her husband did. The given reason is that she sees Enji in her children, and her fear paralyzes her and makes her slip away a little more every day, until her eventual breaking point. But I think that there was another component at play here: guilt. 

If we assume that in that moment Rei was thinking of Enji's stubbornness—as it's hinted at by her equating their narrowed, angry eyes—then Touya's words might've hit a nerve there. 

Mind you, this is very much unconfirmed, so I could be completely wrong about it. But notice how it's only after Enji mentions All Might that she drops all protests. Before, the topic was Touya's wellbeing, and the morality of inflicting this onto an innocent child who just wanted his father's attention. But the second Rei is abruptly reminded of the reason behind this contract between her and Enji, the goal of producing a fitting heir who will beat his rival, we see her expression shift. She's no longer frantic, she's stricken. A bead of sweat rolls down her face, like she's digesting this. Realizing what it means, what will happen. 

Of course, we could attribute this to fear; she could be seeing Enji's true colors for the first time, or realizing that nothing she can say will ever stop him. That has been my interpretation so far. But what if there was more? 

What if she felt pressured, similarly to how she might've felt pressured by the Himuras' circumstances, and ended up folding and defaulting to do what was expected of her as a result? And then calling it her decision, despite how it’s clearly not what she wanted? 

Psychologically, it would make sense. It's not too hard to make the jump from "I walked into this myself. It was my choice" to "I chose this life. It is on me. I can't pretend I didn't know what my role in it would be, and I have to play it."

If Rei fell for that kind of reasoning, maybe even subconsciously, it could help make sense of why, despite witnessing the worsening of the abuse and of her own mental state, she clings to her hope of eventual happiness for years. Or why, despite having been complicit in punishing Touya with two more replacements, she still doubles down on her belief about the importance of choices, enough so that she passes it down to Shouto. Like allowing Touya to be hurt like that wasn't also a deliberate act; she took part in it knowing the harm that would follow, so ethically speaking, she can't hide behind a lack of better alternatives. She can't deny ownership of her actions by claiming she was blinded by foolishness, like Enji later does. That, too, was a choice, but since Rei cannot bear this weight, I think she coped with it by telling herself it was part of her duty, of her role, and thus accepted it as an inevitability, too. Something that she surrendered to because her "options were limited" to quote her rationalizing of things. It would be a defense mechanism of sorts.  

If a part of her justifies what they did as part of her marital contract, then she can frame it as something she had to endure for the sake of her family, too. In the process, she can avoid the guilt attached. 

But when Touya calls this out, she cracks, face stricken in fear, and she cannot say anything to defend herself. He sees through her, and she cowers from it. His self-awareness makes it impossible for her to soothe him with easy words like she later does with Shouto. She has no legs to stand on. Her words ring empty, and she knows it. A lie to keep up the pretense of being in control.

Though Rei had entered this situation hoping she would find happiness somehow, the truth is that she hasn't been happy in years. She's exhausted, jaded, wrung out. The family she had pictured doesn't match the broken one she can't keep together despite her best efforts. So, what use was walking into this of her own accord, with her own agenda (however simple), if she couldn't make the most of it, and instead ended up succumbing under the impossible weight of her role? 

By then, Enji had given up on even pretending to be involved in Touya's life. He was similarly neglectful to his other children as well. And by giving in to his demands for more kids, Rei co-signed the destruction of whatever normalcy they could've ever hoped to achieve, because Touya knew exactly what they'd done and why, and it made him restless. By the time a fitting replacement came around, the family was as good as gone, and with it, Rei's aspirations. 

But acknowledging this means acknowledging her agency in it. And she can't. She can't look Touya in the eyes and insist again about how many other paths are available to him aside from becoming a hero. Not when Touya pointed out that she had paths, too, and still walked the one written in the tracks of her life. 

In this light, her avoidance of Touya from then on mirrors Enji’s. She's running away from facing things about herself she doesn't want to confront, things that Touya brings to the forefront of her mind by being their unfortunate victim and byproduct. 

Interestingly, though, Rei later shows a bit more of a willingness to face the past. 

Shouto's influence helps her in that sense. When he finds the courage to reconnect with her, despite how he should've hated her, she gets a taste of what actually sticking with your choices means. And it spurs her onto action herself. 

As a child, Shouto told her that he didn't want to become the kind of person who would hurt her. He already believed in kindness, and aspired to be a hero who rescued others, like All Might was shown doing in that TV interview Shouto was watching with Rei. But then Rei was hospitalized, and she spent ten-ish years away from Shouto, thinking the entire time that he resented her for having burnt him. 

In truth, Shouto was simply afraid of meeting her. Since he saw himself as the cause of her mental break, he feared that his visit would be unwelcome, or maybe that she would get worse because of him. But in the end, he pushed through those fears and went to the hospital, and then kept coming back and writing letters with the purpose of reconnecting. Shouto could've easily kept things as they were, but he decided to confront her, to seek a conversation, to seek healing. He didn't want to leave those loose ends unaddressed, or to hide behind his insecurities, his anxieties. Shouto was obviously afraid of rejection, of facing her and finding out she still saw his father in him. He was trembling when he arrived at the hospital that first time. But that didn't deter him. Like his mother told him to do all those years ago, he firmly set his eyes on the man he wanted to become, and that man was someone who had a relationship with his mother again. 

When Rei witnesses that unshaking resolve, that determination to stay true to himself and his choices, she becomes stronger as a result. 

She finally faces Enji, despite admitting to still being afraid of him not too long before. 

And when the topic of Shouto's scar comes up, she owns up to it. Her expression is serious, unflinching. She's not feeling sorry for herself the way she looked away from Touya, eyes downcast and expression laced with visible guilt. 

That's a step towards healing for her. Burning Shouto wasn't a conscious action on her part (it was a fight or flight response to fear), but the fact that she is willing to look head on at the past instead of avoiding it is a nod in the right direction. 

Before, she let that vision of a happy future slip away from her. She let herself be swept by her circumstances, and lost sight of herself in the process. 

Losing sight of yourself because of said circumstances is an idea that gets explored through Shouto as well, by the way. To further underline it. Shouto, too, temporarily let his family situation cloud his vision and push him off his original path. For a handful of years, he was too angry, too bitter and resentful to remember that the things that had motivated him to become a hero was kindness and compassion. He almost nearly becomes cruel like Enji. But remembering himself, setting his eyes on the kind of man he originally wanted to become, puts him back on track. Thanks to that, he's able to successfully rescue Iida from Stain. 

Similarly, Rei's misstep is letting her fear get the best of her, and letting herself forget that happiness was still within her reach. Because of that, her challenge is to fix that and face Touya again. In that sense, she can prove she has a choice. She isn't there just to provide the ice genes to make the perfect kid. She still has the power to create a family that isn't dysfunctional, if she commits to the idea that choices were never about making the most of limited options and adverse fate, but rather sticking to your guns and making your future happen despite those adverse circumstances. 

Her challenge, then, is to make a family that will be happy for real. With Touya as an integral part of it, this time. 

[DC] oh no…I turned timkon into a miraculous ladybug lovesquare 🤒

Anyways this will barely make sense but Conner -> Tim / Robin -> Superboy is sort of supposed to be like the early timkon dynamic in the comics where they’d sometimes butt heads, but then the Tim -> Conner/Superboy-> Robin is supposed to be like later timkon where there’s more obvious admiration lololol

transcript/description

If someone makes this please that me read it

How

How about an AU where Five isn´t originally a Hargreeves but rather a Commssion killer sent to kill them who they end up adopting?

Could you do a Jason and Damian bonding headcanons, please?

The first time one of them said "I love you" was in the heat of battle when Jason said it along with, "You better not die again, brat"

When Damian is angry, Jason will put on sparring gloves and tell Damian to have at it until he wears himself out and calms down

Damian knows when Jason has violent thoughts even if he doesn't talk about them—it's a League instinct

Jason can bench twice Damian's weight—they found out when Damian sat on a barbell because "this was my spot first"

When it comes to Damian, Jason's fear isn't the katana or assassin-like stealth, but the fact that he's a mirror image of Bruce

Back in the League, Jason once caught Damian playing with his mother's makeup and covered for him while Damian cleaned up

Jon teaches Damian TikTok dances and Damian teaches Jason

Jason's not allowed to pick Damian up from school alone on account of the time he pulled up on a motorcycle blasting AC/DC and shouted "I'M HERE MOTHERFUCKER"

Damian wanted to know what the ocean is like but Nanda Parbat was far from one, so Jason recreated it with melted snow and shell-shaped rocks

Damian cooked, and Jason was the last to say "not it" to trying it

One time Alfred told Damian to give Jason some fruits and vegetables so Damian gave him a single strawberry

When Damian is tired, he'll steal Jason's whole coffee maker and put it in his room

Damian knows about Roy sneaking into Jason's room at night

Jason's idea of cooking is slapping a huge piece of meat on the grill and calling it a day, much to Damian's protests

Jason lets Damian have a small sip of wine under supervision

Jason's the only one who lets Damian fight the way he feels most confident

They went sledding on an old table top

They can play ping pong blindfolded, but only against each other

Damian literally owns the world's smallest violin, which he busts out whenever Jason retells his death

Jason once went a whole road trip without noticing Damian in the back seat

Damian can mimic police sirens and Jason hates it

Jason attests that Damian can drive, but he'll also attest that Damian is the worst driver ever

Their have each other's contacts saved as "Bat Brat" and "Dead Hood"

They have bonfire s'mores on Jason's grave

Damian sticks Jason's mugshot to the fridge with alphabet magnets

Jason knows Damian hates surprise parties so he always tells him when the family is throwing one

They have a Jane Austen book club

The first time Damian got his heart broken (in the League, by Ra's) Jason was the one who picked up the pieces

Damian uses his prodigious art skills to speed-draw Jason in everyday life when he's not looking

They got #CancelBruceWayne trending for April Fool's

Jason occasionally writes poetry and Damian doodles in the margins

They can't beat each other in a bare fistfight

When Damian gets excited about something, Jason makes sure nobody can ruin it

Jason leaves sauce packets all over the place to confuse Damian

They know each other's limits and consistently toe the line

Damian submits a fake job application under Jason's name to Build-A-Bear

If you are still doing prompts, then maybe Colin/Dami fluff? ovo

“You’re always cold, Wilkes - it’s a wonder you survive the winter at all.”

Colin huddled closer to Damian’s side as he tugged their shared quilt around the both of them, blocking out the drafts.  He didn’t bother reminding Damian that he got cold way easier, and that the blankets and sweaters and cuddling were all for his benefit - it wasn’t worth the sulking.

I think Damian Wayne is so funny cause he dresses like everyone else and is perceived as like just this normal teenage boy but the second you talk to him he goes on a tangent about an artist or history like

I think one of DC's biggest mistakes is the fact that Billy Batson, Jon Kent, and Damian Wayne aren't an established trio

I refuse to believe these three didn't meet each other and immediately agree to start causing problems on purpose

Damian's an ex assassin, son of Batman, and the heir to the biggest crime ring in the world, who hates himself, but also believes he's the best person alive

Jon is Superman's son, and has somehow managed to convince everyone he's a Good Boy™ when his best friend is Ra's al Ghul's grandson

And Billy's a teenage boy who has/is tricking the Justice League into letting him stay on their team because he can make himself look like an Adult Man™

These three should be committing felonies together DC

All He Can Afford

>.> So after randomly getting this idea, I decided to write it down.I haven’t written fanfiction in the longest time so excuse the horridness and cheesiness of it as well. lol 

Characters: Damian Wayne, Colin Wilkes

Setting: Outside the Wayne Manor (?)

Rating: G+

Finally being out of that crowded celebration, the birthday boy’s frown softened. Turning fifteen was not really much of a deal to him, but Dick and the rest of his family insisted on him having a ‘light’ celebration. In the end though, that 'light’ celebration turned out to be rather big. The problem wasn’t the people, no not at all, their group only consisted of him, Dick, Tim, Jason, Bruce, Alfred, Kon, and of course Colin; but yet it was the fact that the kitchen and living room was heavily decorated and Dick had planned out so many things to do that day. 

When he had the chance to find some sort of escape way, he had dragged his red headed friend along with him and ignored the whining of Dick. 

“You sure it’s a good idea to suddenly run off like this?” Asked Colin who steadily followed Damian’s pace, and sat next to him when he took a seat down on a bench. The other boy tutted. “Doesn’t matter. Grayson was only thinking about himself.” Colin gave a small laugh, “I don’t think so Damian, I mean, I think he and the others were trying to work hard to please you. They just…Love you." 

There was no reply from him, which made Colin hope he didn’t get the other mad. But Damian already knew this. He already knew how they were and how much they cared for him, especially Dick. He found out when he worked with the guy when he was still Batman and not Nightwing. ’I wouldn’t have minded something simple, but this was too much.' 

"Damian?”

Then there was Colin. A close friend who had unknowingly made his way into Damian’s life. When introduced to the Bat family, he was warmly welcomed with open arms; something Colin rarely experienced. Ever since they met, they didn’t know it but something between them clicked. Damian at first found it rather suspicious, but over time their bond really deepened. 

“Damian!?”

Glancing over at Colin, he realized he had spaced out somehow. “-tt-”

“Good, you’re still alive,” laughed the other. “I thought you had randomly become a walking zombie on me.” Damian rolled his eyes. “Don’t think such ignorant and unbelievable things Colin. As if I’ll turn into that.” “Of course not! Because I know you’ll always just turn out to be the Dark Cat Prince!” Seeing the look his friend gave him, a worried and uneasy chuckle was all Colin let out before quickly changing the subject. 

“Uh…So about your present!” Shuffling around and removing the book bag on his back, he laid it down on his lap and zipped it open. “Are you ready?” He grinned. “…Don’t play this game with me. What is it?” Colin shook his head, “You have to close your eyes first. Pllllleeeaaaaseeee! Pretty pretty please Dami???" 

Damian sighed, for some reason, lately he was unable to say no to whatever that red head ever asked him to do. So closing his eyes, Damian waited for any sign. 

"You’re not peeking right?”

“No Im not Colin.”

“Promise?”

“Colin.”

“Right, right! Im just kidding with you Damian!”

Just when he was about to protest on how Colin was taking forever, he felt something fuzzy touch his lips. When it  came in contact with him, he knew it wasnt his friend, and he immediately opened his eyes, pulling away from the thing concurrently. What was on his lips was a toy. A stuffed animal to be exact. And it was a cat. A black cat with a 'Robin’ symbol on it’s collar. The red head spoke up when he opened his eyes.

“I know you think it might be childish, but…But I really worked hard to save up for this! I saw the cat in the toy shop when I went out to buy some food and well…I couldn’t help but think about you right away.” Red tints began to appear on Colin’s cheeks as he talked, and every second they grew a darker shade. “And…So…I saved up to buy it and to buy his collar…I mean…I…Happy birthday Damian." 

This time Colin was the one to shut his eyes as he held out the stuff toy. Damian saw the redness of his cheeks and knew exactly what was going on. Because of that, he too, couldn’t help but blush. Colin still sat there, worried that his best friend was going to refuse to take the cat. But relief came to him when he felt Damian’s fingers brush against his and slowly take the present. 

The boy inspected the cat, and checked out the collar too, a small smirk twitched on his lips when he saw the robin symbol Colin was talking about.

"Thank you….”

Colin blinked his eyes open, and then scooted closer to his friend. “So does that mean you like it Damian?! You really like it!?" 

The space between their faces was only inches away, and Damian didn’t want to think about that, but he did. 

"Uh…It’s childish, but I like it because you gave it to me. So…Thanks. I guess…" 

Just then did the red head’s face bright up with a huge grin. He was ecstatic to hear such words from the boy. He watched Damian play around with the collar a bit, and with the charms that hang from it, until Colin decided to mumble Damian’s name. Looking up to see what Colin wanted now, Damian found himself lips to lips with the other boy when he did so. It was baffling to the two when neither one protested to pull away. It was when Damian couldn’t stand it anymore and cut off the kiss. His face was heating up, and hell did he want Colin to see that. The red head only gave a goofy grin. 

"Idiot.”

“Happy birthday Damian. I love you." 

As Colin predicted, there was no response, but when he felt a hand fall on top of his, he knew what that meant. 

END.

I so desperately want this that it hurts

I had this comic idea a while ago. A 20 part comic spin off about damian being in high school. I was gonna add Colin and Maps back in and have it be centered around the relationships in his life, specifically Alfred since it would be more about him getting old and having to be taken care of more. And Bruce having to take a step back as batman bc he has to be there more for Alfred. More character studies than action based since I like doing that a lot more.

...Maybe I should pitch it to dc comics. Lol. Im kidding.
