they liked this on twitter im thinking you would too
so uhhh. yeah.
it's beginning to get concerning, dad
Damian Wayne is pretty.
This is something that Dick, Jason, and Tim have learned to accept and begrudgingly deal with the consequences of.
Damian was bound to be attractive, what with having Bruce Wayne as a father and Talia al Ghul as a mother; there was no doubt in anyone's mind that he was going to grow up beautifully. And he did.
Long were the days of people cooing over him and telling him, 'Oh my God, you look so much like your father when he was your age.' By the time Damian hit 14 is when he really started to grow into his looks. The older he got, the more obvious it became who he took after.
Damian had inherited a lot from his mother, be it her laugh, her strength, or her flair for the dramatics (though if you were to ask her, she'd say he got it from Bruce). He had also inherited her slight and lean frame along with her height—an even 5'8". His green eyes are a given; however, the long lashes that framed them came from his father, along with his nose and eyebrows. The rest of him was all Talia, which made him look rather soft and delicate, something he was surprisingly never insecure about. He knew his strengths and what he was capable of, and if he happened to look like his mother, then so be it; she's a beautiful woman, and he's honored to have her resemblance.
Now, back to his brothers and how this affects them.
When one is pretty, one gets attention; however, not all of it is good attention. Because Damian has never really taken his looks into consideration, he is completely unaware of the effect he has on people.
This leaves Dick, Jason, and Tim having to deal with the weirdos and creeps trying to get too close to their baby brother.
U ever start smth and ur like haha this is such a cute SKETCH and then it turns into a 10hr painting. Anyway heres astral plane viktor as ponyo's mother
what if Damian wasn’t sent to Bruce by Talia and instead decided to do a bit of early child-rebellion by running away to him himself. Talia, pissed off but too busy dealing with uprisings in the league to go track him down herself, calls up the person Damian is most likely to listen to other than her; his brother, who she trusts to keep him safe.
the thing is, Jason is 1: busy with his own missions atm 2: was also once a rebellious little asshole who liked to run away from home. he was Damian’s tutor once, he knows the kid can handle himself and he also knows if he CAN’T handle something he’ll contact Jason for help. he knows this because about a week before Talia called him, Damian called him.
Jason, phone balanced between his ear and shoulder: what do you want, i’m undercover
Damian: i require money for a fake passport.
Jason:
Jason, letting go of the guy he was beating up: alright you have my attention.
Damian: i am running away from home. i wish to do something ‘for the lore’ like the stories you used to tell me as a child.
Jason:
Jason ‘i’m going to ethiopia’ Todd: there’s some stuff in the fake panel under my bed. don’t tell me where you’re going, i don’t want to be complicit when Talia calls. also don’t die, because if you do i’m gonna make you eat dirt once you get out of the pit.
Damian: understood. if i am about to die, i shall call again.
Jason: have fun kiddo.
so Jason tells Talia he’ll ‘keep an eye out for any leads’ and then goes back to his normal business. league missions, his own missions, some outlaw shit, and eventually he ends up crime lording it up in Gotham. he’s a little confused when Tim Drake is seen swinging around as Red Robin rather than just Robin, but he got over his obsession with the Robin shit a while ago, so he ignores it.
until he runs into Batman and Robin. and there isn’t a mask in the fucking world that could hide his kid brother’s face from him.
Red Hood:
Robin:
Red Hood:
Robin:
Batman: why are you two staring at each other like that. what’s happening.
Robin:
Red Hood: *deep sigh*
Robin: are you going to tell mother-
Red Hood: -when you said ‘like the stories i used to tell you’.
Robin: *looks at the floor*
Red Hood: i did NOT think you meant running to a different country to find your birth parent. you fucking COPIER.
Robin:
Robin: …but you made being Robin sound so cool…
Batman: what the fuck are you two talking about?
Red Hood, pointing: you stay out of this, this is family business.
Batman: ????
Expanding on the below concepts from a dream I had last September
Ig I’m headed towards a haunted/manifestation of guilt idea hmm
Damian: Father is going to curse you out, so I’ll ask. Can we have the scroll?
Ra’s Al Ghul: No.
Damian (raising his voice in a high-pitched, innocent tone): Please!
Ra’s (usual strict voice until he sees his grandson's face): No—why are you looking at me like that?
Damian faked a sniffle, pouring on the sad puppy dog eyes and lip quiver. The usually fearless and intimidating Ra's struggled to maintain his composure, covering his mouth to hide his amusement.
Ra’s: Stop it! Don’t pull that crap on me!
Damian (laying on the sweet kid tone): But grandfather... I love you.
Ra’s (trembling): Fine! You can have the scroll! Just quit the act!
Damian immediately returned to his usual self, sporting a smug smile.
Damian: Thank you! We’ll wait here while you retrieve it.
Ra’s groaned and walked off to fetch the magic scroll in question as Batman approached his son.
Batman: What did you say?
Damian: I used manipulation and reminded him I’m his only grandchild... along with puppy dog eyes.
Batman chuckled, shaking his head with pride at his son’s cleverness.

So, I've seen posts of Bruce forgetting his kids are adopted, but what if the batkids forget they're adopted?
Jason and Tim: *fighting*
Jason: You're adopted!
Tim: *gasps* >:0
Tim: So are you!
Jason:
Tim:
Jason: Damn, you're right.
Dick tries making fun of Jason before Jay brings up that one time they were seeing pictures of toddler Bruce with his baby curls and Dick said "Oh, so that's where I got mine from."
routine laboratory activity!
