Miku Fan Damian!? Yes Please I've Been Saying This For Years! That's His Girl Right There! 🥲

I feel like people tend to forget that Jon can be just as sassy when it comes to Damian. Like Damian can say some of the most out of pocket stuff and Jon can return it back with the same amount of energy. They have been in each other's faces like an old married couple since they were 10 and 13. And yes there is love and yearning there as they get older but they still look at each other and are just like "God damn it this guy is the most annoying person I know. He is also the most precious person in my life and I would 110% put my life on the line for him and or murder somebody if it came down to it"

batboys as things i did back when i was an evil third grader

bruce: when people kept telling him that they prayed that his parents would live, he blank stared and said “well your prayers didn’t work.”

dick: when bruce brought in a bird egg to incubate and try to save, dick thought it was candy and ate the entire thing and then lied about it and blamed it on the dog.

jason: got grounded from tv and decided to write an essay on monsters inc and read it aloud as loud as possible at 6:30am

tim: told everyone in his class that he was part dog on his grandma’s side. did not realize that he was publicly accusing his family of Bestiality.

damian: told everyone that he was a werewolf and would throw intense tantrums when someone told him werewolves weren’t real to the point his classmates started playing along out of fear.

alfred: got therapy (this fixed the above issues)

Two tropes I love are TimKon Clone Baby AUs and Tim being of Asian descent, so what if we combine them?

In his grief induced, sleep deprived spiral Tim manages to produce a viable embryo and conks out right after confirming that it has no detectable defects and will not terminate if he takes his eyes off it.

When he wakes up he realizes how fucked up this whole situation is but by then accelerated aging has already grown the child to be visible with the naked eye and Tim can't bring himself to abort it despite the moral concerns and ramifications of keeping it. It's not Kon, he knows that, but it's the closest he has to him so he decides to let incubation progress and deal with the consequences.

He stops the accelerated growing to give himself more time organising how he's going to mange this and so he can tell the relevant people beforehand instead of just turning up with a child. But then Bruce dies, or so everyone thinks, and Tim leaves to get him back himself when it becomes clear that he can't rely on anyone to help.

His search for Bruce works on a different time schedule driven by desparation and recklessness because he needs to get back to the child as fast as humanly possible. This causes him to take more risks and be less forgiving in his actions and he manages to gather enough evidence sooner. He sends the information to the JL and makes sure to prevent Ra's from continuing the fight in Gotham before getting the kid and dropping off the grid, letting everyone else make their own assumptions on what happened to him. Their actions when he confided in them about his theory had shown him that he can't trust them anymore, so he leaves.

He rushes to prepare his departure with the now born baby and leaves for his mother's childhood home in the Philippines. He'd visited it a few times with his mother and once with Kon but nobody else knows about it. (What Tim doesn't know is that in his haste to disappear he forgot to erase the simplest thing.)

Tim raises the child there, learning more about his own heritage and meeting estranged family members along the way.

He's using tech to disguise himself, appearance and biosignatures, from both the Justice League and the remains of Ra's empire, with Tam and Pru keeping him up to date on significant happenings respectively.

Meanwhile Dick has been worrying about Tim, which is only amplified when Bruce comes back and Tim doesn't, when Bruce asks about him and Dick doesn't have an answer, when Kon and Bart return with grandiose tales of the future to no best friend to tell them to.

Bruce starts searching for Tim during his recovery and Cassie catches Kon and Bart up to everything that happened between their deaths and Tim's disappearance.

They notice she's holding back on telling them something and she reluctantly shares how she caught him trying to clone Kon. Kon, overwhelmed and disturbed by the news, leaves them to process by himself. When he's calmed down and rationalised that he doesn't have the whole story, since Tim isn't here to tell it, he goes to the lab to look for... anything, really. A notebook, a diary, something that can tell him what Tim was thinking.

He finds the lab empty, all notes and cloning equipment destroyed. But on the computer he finds evidence that Tim was here after he disappeared, and that the cloning was successful.

So Kon is sure that Tim is out there, that he's with a child and that he went of his own accord. Where would Tim go, avoiding everyone that would search for him? That could be anywhere!

But does the child, his child, change his decision making? Kon can think of one place, far enough to not raise unwelcome memories of what he's leaving behind, sentimental enough to want to introduce his child to and secret enough that only one other living person knows about it. Or no other, considering that Tim was gone before he could find out that Kon's alive from anyone in the community and the news isn't public yet.

Kon flies to the home Tim had shown him once and finds it lived in. Toys and food and clothes and pictures all over the place. But no Tim and no baby. So Kon waits.

Tim comes back a few hours later, child in tow, from visiting his great aunt and uncle who he has started visiting regularly to learn about his family's history and share about his and his mother's lives in America. They're slowly starting to not need his cousins to translate anymore as Tim is learning enough Filipino to make up for their limited English.

The sight that greets Tim when he rounds corner is Kon tracing the pictures that Tim has taken and hung up since moving here.

Tim bursts into tears as he sees Kon, who himself startles, at Tim's entrance. They have a long, tearful reunion before Kon asks about the kid and Tim explains everything.

In the end Kon isn't happy about what happened but he sees the difference in how Clark and Luthor treat him to how Tim loves the child. He sees how Tim regrets hurting Kon with his actions and how what he did was not out of greed but out of grief.

Kon visits often after that, getting introduced to Tim's extended family and Tam and Pru. He eventually brings up letting other people know and Tim's apprehensive but lets Kon bring Bart the next time. Bart who is ecstatic at being an uncle and will definitely spoil the kid rotten. Together they manage to convince Tim to give telling other people a try, not necessarily about the kid or his location but at least that he's alive.

So Tim starts video calls with Bruce and Dick and Cassie, telling them that he's fine but that he won't come home, talking about what happened and how each of them hurt because of it. Eventually he'll let Kon take him for a visit in person. Eventually he'll tell them about his son, scared and hopeful, and they'll tell him that they'd love to meet him. Eventually he introduces them and watches everyone coo and baby talk to him.

Eventually Tim's anxiety about seeing them will turn into excitement and his son will grow up knowing his family in the Philippines and his family in America.

Damian Wayne head canon

In this headcanon, Damian didn't learn English until the age of 8, which made it his 7th language. As a result, his English isn't very good. However, he hides this well because he is a fast learner. He is good at speaking English but has to take his time to comprehend it when someone speaks to him.

This leads to the event where Damian gets de-aged and he doesn't understand anything they are saying, which makes the batfam confused as to why he is not responding. The first person to realize what was happening was when Cass spoke Arabic and Damian finally responded.

talk about siblings

Do you think Damian knows just how wanted he was?

Does he know how excited Bruce and Talia were to be parents? To have a baby? They were married and in love and they were going to be a family. They were happy.

Does he know how heartbroken Bruce was when he thought Talia lost the baby? Their baby. Their little prince.

When someone tells him that his dad chose to have his brothers but got stuck with him, I want him to be able to say "No. My Baba wanted me so much from the day he found out Mama was pregnant."

I hope he does. I hope Bruce tells him. I hope Talia reminds him.

Dick: Alright, Dami. Your turn for game night.

Damian: Thank you, Grayson. I presume you’ve heard the tune of “old Mcdonald had a Farm”?

Dick: do you want to sing that?? <3 :D :D

Damian: indeed. With each new animal named I shall then adopt said animal

Steph: really?

Steph [singing]: And on that farm he had a possum eey ie eey ie oe

Damian: Consider it done

Dick: no

Jason [singing]: and on that farm he had a hippo eey ie eey ie oe

Damian: acceptable choice, Todd

Dick: sTOP

Tim [singing]: on that farm he had *five* crocodiles

Dick: HOLY ZOOTOPIA HELL TIM PLEASE DON’T ENCOURAGE THIS

Hello, hi, I want to give dami my psvita so he can crush project diva like his god given right as a Miku fan.

He won’t disappoint you!!! He'll give it a good use!! (he'll stay up every night)

a severely underrated and underused pre-reveal-Red-Hood-plot is the one where Dick finds out that he’s Jason first, and out of desperation to make up for past failings at being a big brother and wanting to reconnect with Jason, he decides to keep it from the rest of the family and use it as a way for them to bond. clearly this could be funny for like a thousand different reasons, but the first way this could turn out that i can think of is obviously Bruce watching Nightwing and Red Hood getting closer and closer and instead of automatically coming to the realisation that it’s Dick getting to know and hanging out with his little brother, he immediately assumes that Nightwing and Red Hood are dating.

i’m torn between Jason finding this hysterical while Dick is horrified about it (Jason doesn’t have to deal with the sexual jokes from the family and talks about safety within villain/hero relationships) and both of them deciding it’s a prime opportunity to pull the greatest prank on Bruce possible (both of them leaning into the relationship thing publicly and then Jason casually taking off his helmet to give Dick a cheek-kiss and Bruce a fucking heart attack), but mostly i just think it would be funny if Dick got stressed about his web of lies and decided to rant to a friend, idk who probably Wally, and he gets to have this conversation:

Dick, pacing back and forth: i don’t know what to do, i mean my dad thinks i’m fucking my brother!

Wally, incredulous: …what the fuck did you do to make Bruce think you’re fucking Tim???

Dick, horrified: OH MY GOD NO? I MEANT JASON!

Wally: HE THINKS YOU’RE FUCKING A CORPSE!?

Dick: OK NO- I SHOULD HAVE EXPLAINED BETTER WAIT A SECOND-

Wally: *distressed noises*
