[ID: a drawing of Jon and Tim from TMA. They are both on a cot in document storage, a room full of filing cabinets and messy boxes. Tim is sitting up, with his legs off the side of the cot. His hand is stroking through the hair of Jon, who lies down with a pained expression. Tim is smiling down at him. Jon is depicted as a thin, South Asian man with brown skin and short black and gray hair. He is wearing a tan suit. Tim is depicted as East Asian and pale, with short dark hair, and he is wearing a red collared shirt and tan shorts. End ID.]

the prime defenders and music all ashe winters knows is music. they have multiple pairs of headphones, one wired so it doesnt die and one wireless so they can jam without twisting cords. their phone is constantly low battery from constantly acting as a speaker. they cant really play any instruments (too much noise for old man mark) but definitely knows how they work. acts as a vocalist during pd jam sessions, doesnt have crazy range and wont act like they do. usually stays in a lower register and their voice gets quieter with higher ranges. has imaginary concerts all the time and interacts with the people theyre jammin with. dakota cole has experienced the top 40 to indie soundcloud pipeline. he organizes music into feelings or activities - the longest used to be for training, now its a 10 hour compilation of pd's favorite songs for road trips. "oh dakota must know drums" nonono shhhshh. dakota's worst fear is sitting still. he tried, but kept trying to stand up and losing the beat. he switches to guitar and is immediately in love. dances around while playing even if it means he messes up a bit. has good chemistry with pretty much anyone hes playing with. william wisp fills the void with the same 5 artists he's listened to since middle school. he would always repeat songs with a strong beat. he never asked his parents for a drum set, but its the first thing he wanted on the pd base. he sharpies on a work-in-progress ghost logo to the front and over time the space fills with doodles and signatures. gnaws at the end of drumsticks both consciously and unconsciously. didn't want to play with anyone else for a good while, but opened up to dakota when he realized they were together for the long run. vyncent sol's concept of music is a bit different. he's used to soft hymns from his mother and improvised tunes from bards. he learned harpsicord, but there isnt much of an audience for that on prime (had he continued living on fauna with the greats, he would have forgotten it in favor of training.) when this is revealed to will and dakota, they drag him to a music shop to try a modern piano. the deeper sounds of it are startling but welcome. this progresses into keyboard to be more involved with the others. has a melodic voice, but keeps it to humming in the kitchen or absent minded singing.

i want to talk more seriously about the fact bruce wayne has been canonically diagnosed with ocd, and i want to make a huge masterpost pointing to actual comic panels and junk, but the stuff i actually end up thinking about with regards to the subject is something like this:
bruce probably has intrusive thoughts about the sudden death of his children, which is, uh, fucking scary to deal with to say the least, and one of his compulsions is simply to check in on them. y'know. to make sure they're alright. if he can see they're literally alive right in front of him, the thoughts lose their teeth and it just becomes a matter of countering it whenever it comes up.
so the kids get used to these seemingly random check-ins. maybe they understand it's because of the ocd or maybe they don't, i would hope that bruce would be open about that but we're talking about bruce after all. but anyway. when dick was old enough to start going out a lot on his own, the check-ins would take the form of texts.
it started with something like... "where are you?" which to bruce seemed like a perfectly innocent question, but being on the other side of a random "where are you?" message is uh. concerning! so dick had to explain to bruce that that was a surefire way to give somebody a panic attack about if they were supposed to be somewhere and forgot somehow... so, it became more like "you okay?" and it would go on like that for a while. it comes off as very... needy from the outside, probably, but that's okay.
bruce does these check-ins with all of his kids as they come into his life - it got particularly overbearing and frankly frustrating after jason died (you know, the exact thing he was afraid would happen...) but by the time of, like, cass joining the family, and then especially once jason turns out to be alive again, he's able to ease up on it. and technology evolves pretty rapidly, y'know? so...
bruce's check-in texts morphed into sending his kids absolute barrages of heart emojis, and the first time he decided to do this, it made everyone concerned that he was replaced by a martian somehow. but no. it's perfectly logical to bruce, he loves his kids, heart emojis express love... what is there to be confused about!
anyway, this has been my vision, thank you for listening to my ted talk.
