8 year old freshly adopted Dick, throwing the moths and flies he caught on Patrol directly at Bruce's face: I got you dinner!
Bruce, who was just bombarded with insects: Chum?!
Dick, smiling cheerfully: Bats eat insects!
Bruce:
Dick: I just read it in a book
Bruce:
Bruce: Bats also eat fruits and nectar
Dick: So you're a fruity bat?
Bruce:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dick, throwing an apple at him the next day: Dinner!
Bruce:
the point of kryptonians is that they're visually indistinguishable from humans ANYWAYS **Aliens them**
ok now draw nikolai and jon making out
by allah, you people are dogs, i will go on as usual
Jon becoming progressively more and more obsessed with Damian in the same way that proximity makes you more likely to start liking someone.
Like if you see someone frequently or your physically close to them a lot you're more likely to have romantic attraction to them. I think because Jon would always either be with Damian or listening to his heartbeat it would work the same, except with normal people there's obviously no way to CONSTANTLY be aware of someone, for Jon he can just listen to Damian's heartbeat 24/7 or even easily watch him from a distance whenever he feels like it. If people are more likely to catch feelings from just proximity being aware of someone at all times like that would probably lead to some sort of obsession, like I love the head canon that Jon needs to listen to Damian's heartbeat to fall asleep.
tim is such a gremlin in this one, i love him.

My short list of romance anime that I've seen/read that that I think Damian would enjoy

Furits Baskt
Nana
Inuyasha
Princess Jellyfish
Sailor Moon
Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun
Banana Fish (there's little hints of romance but he'd enjoy the story over all)
You're Lie in April
Komi Can't Communicate
Sasaki to Miyano
Whisper Me A Love Song
Ranma 1/2
I personally don't watch or read a lot of romance anime myself, I tend to get bored unfortunately 🥲
THAT IS SHORT TO YOU 😭😭😭??? OMG I LITERALLY KNOW, LIKE, 5 ROMANCE ANIMES, MAYBE?
From this list I've seen Ranma 1/2, sailor moon, Inuyasha, Nana AND THAT'S IT. There are names I know, but romance is not really my thing 😭😭😭
AND NOW I SEE THIS, WOW. I KUST WATCH THEM ALL.
And about Damian watching them YES, HE DID 🗣️🗣️🗣️💥💥‼️‼️‼️ (in my head, he did) BECAUSE, I THINK HE LOVES ROMANCE, THE MANGA HE WAS READING might have been slice of life, it could be... BUT I THINK IT WAS ROMANCE, SO HE LIKES ROMANCE NOW.
PRETTY BABY BOY JOINING "GUYS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY DON'T LIKE ROMANCE BUT SECRETLY ENJOY IT" AND JASON IS IN THAT CLUB 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️💥💥💥💥‼️‼️‼️

Superman born circa 1990 and being in his early 30s as of 2025 doesn’t wear a cape simply because it was common amongst his people. He wears it partially because of social media and people being so thirsty.
Early Superman goes out in the skintight suit and red boots with the House of El’s crest on his chest. He does his thing—saving the day and whatnot. He’s feared by some, but beloved by most. Then Twitter and its trending topics become a thing. Suddenly he’s feared by some, beloved by others, but lusted after by a fuckload of people.
“The people of the internet want to know if your ass is real,” Hal giggles breathlessly. “They think your suit is padded!”
Clark crosses his arms and absolutely does not pout. He’s not pouting. Or blushing.
“Oh my God,” Barry cackles, scrolling on his phone. “This is everything. They’re calling you Super Thicc Man.”
“Two c’s,” Ollie snorts as he looks over Barry’s shoulder. “There are memes, Blue. You’re a meme.”
Hal squawks and shoves his phone into Bruce’s face. To his credit, Bruce barely twitches—to the naked human eye, anyway. Clark knows Bruce’s micro expressions better than anyone and can tell the other man’s snickering in his head.
“‘Double cheeked up’ is trending!” Hal nearly falls out of his seat laughing. “Holy shit. ‘What you doing out here with all this ass? Double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon—hella ass, the sun is still out.’ This is the best day of my life!”
Bruce coughs delicately—a sure sign that he’s losing the fight to giggles.
“Maybe,” he says slowly, “this is a good thing. They’re not afraid of you if they’re lusting after you.”
Clark blushes for hours on end. Ma retrieves the red blanket he’d been wrapped in when he landed on Earth and sews him his first cape. Bruce, being a good and apologetic friend, scrubs as many of the memes from the internet as he can.
I see a lot of social media. So… give me Damian Wayne making social media accounts for Titus, Ace, and Alfred the Cat. Let Alfred the Cat have more followers than the entire family combined. Let Bruce Wayne follow only ten accounts on his official Instagram—and one of them is his son's pets. Give me Damian Wayne celebrating his pets’ birthdays. No one knows when they were actually born, but Damian remembers the days they came into his life, and he celebrates their birthdays because he can and he wants to. Give me the Wayne pets on social media… photos showing how massive Titus is and how he should probably start paying rent at this point. Show Ace constantly getting into fights with Jason and Dick over the clothes, how they're always stealing the clothes. Give me Alfred the Cat judging everyone, or doing something adorable. Just pets. Being soft. Being chaotic. Being beloved.
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.
