Jon giving this to Damian (I figured we could both laugh at this)
Damian's just like: I don't... I don't want this...
I didn't really get it at first. I was like: I could be the fourteen for you? What could it mean? 💀
Then I noticed the little space between the numbers and I did laugh 😭. I had to draw it, that's why I took my time replying this 😭✋
He be hitting that 😼 face.
In a future where Jon and Damian grow up together and Jon is a cringey teenager, I'm a firm believer this happened.
His mom took the photo btw.
men WILL get pregnant. #KeepPounding
Talia, hands on waist : Why are there little handprints over the original Van Gogh's I just get?
LoA's Jason, covered of little paint handprints, whispering in Damian's ear : Why are there little handprints over the original Van Gogh's she just get?
2 y/o Damian, bathed in paint, whispering in Jason's ear : Because I have little hands.
LoA's Jason, to Talia : Because he has little hands.
Tim: I'm bi
Jason: Cool. I hooked up with Roy once. Don't tell Dick.
Tim: Jason this is the batfamily group chat
Damian is an animal person, and I like to think that he has pets of all kinds. Including illegal ones and legal ones.
He probably has gone to his father more than once to get him to get a permit for a pet.
Damian, walking over to Bruce at that point in the day when he agrees with anything: Father?
Bruce, exhausted™: Yes Damian?
Damian holding up a paper: May you sign this?
Bruce not even reading the paper: yeah sure
Damian two weeks later walking into the manor with a pet ferret in hand: Father, I’ve named him Jason. Do you like him?
Bruce remembering that ferrets are illegal to own in New Jersey without a permit: He’s lovely… how did you.. get him?
Damian: You signed the paper two weeks ago
Bruce who doesn’t remember that but knows he definitely signed something: oh… okay
been reading world's finest comics and fell in love with superbat co-parenting robin dynamic. that's litcherally their son
pay attention to him NOW
tim drake, with a lapfull of clone baby, who just found a document with parenting advices from mommy blogs (with links) from 12+ years ago on batcomputer: ...hmmm
Damian being an artist is so dear to me in many ways, he can use this creative outlet to show how he views things, people, himself in such a deeply vulnerable way without having to say it.
Give me a Damian who paints his family portraits for their birthdays or just for himself, give me Wayne brothers each painted in Damian's style but distinctly different from each other. Different elements are highlighted for each person.
Give me Dick painted in chunky, light strokes reminiscent to van Gogh.
Give me Bruce painted in colors just off from being black and white.
Give me Jason so desaturated or monotoned that when Damian uses color for his eyes they almost glow green against everything.
Give me Cass unshaded and abstract.
Give me Duke painted in the brightest of bright colors against the darkest of shadows, bonus points if glow-in-the-dark paints were used.
But Tim? Tim has always been terribly difficult to draw, Damian just can't get his face right.
He won't let Tim best him in this way, it's unacceptable, but Damian will not let anyone see his artwork not at it's best. He does everything he can just not to draw Tim's face—his favorite is to spiral Tim's face, maybe he'll leave an eye or paint whatever flower he thinks best represents his brother that day right in the middle.
And Tim just loves it.
The first time Damian painted Tim and gave him the piece, he was uncertain of how it'd be received though he'd deny this with every breath in his lungs. He was prepared for Tim to hate it, to get angry that he distorted his face in such a way—and he could see the same thoughts on the faces of everyone who saw Damian present it to Tim. Why wouldn't he hate it? It'd be disrespectful to anyone, especially if the artist and the muse had such a disastrous relationship. He couldn't be blamed, but Damian was prepared to blame him regardless.
Tim was silent for what felt like hours when he laid eyes on the portrait Damian had painted of him. He hadn't expected any portrait Damian painted of him, if he ever painted one of Tim at all, to make him feel so... seen? Understood? Viewed in a way Tim could have never described?
If Tim cried? That's none of your business.
Yk how Mr. Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne misplaced his spleen.
What if on the hunt for the best presents (for Christmas or birthday you get the idea), Damian found it.
Like The batfamily know Damian is a crackhead with no real understanding of how normal people work.
But like the major the storyline you could make on this idea.
Example:
Timothy’s 21 first birthday, and he can’t even drink alcohol (it can be deadly without your spleen).
So everyone searched for a way to make it better by finding the best gift.
Damian just figured why not go get his spleen. His Grandfather (Ra’s) loved trophy’s and it being Timothy’s. He probably kept it perfectly preserved.
Damian also know doctors who can do this surgery with little no issue from the league who would do it as they owe him favors.
So on his birthday, they all gave him presents and so did Damian. Ironically, Damian went last.
Tim opens up the present and sees a jar with his spleen in it with a note -> “Surgery in 2 days no eating or drinking 12 hours before hand. Recovery time is 1 week bedrest. They suggest a month before drinking.”
And Tim would just start crying. Because that little boy who had hated him for years, went out of his way to get him a present although it was his in the first place, and not only a present but something that could fix so many problems and insecurities. He may have not even know the magnitude of that gift.
Tim cried with no explanation so of course Bruce would start yelling at Damian (not seeing what was in the box). And Tim would rock his shit. Scream what the present was. And boom cute fluff story.
Side note -> you could also add like a lot of angst when getting the spleen like have him have to kill someone or getting hurt or doing something like that would add a lot and I mean a lot of good plot.
Let’s start it off strong:
Hallucination Jason… or at least they think he is?? Basically, fics where Jason pretends to be a hallucination because a) he’s a wacky little guy or b) ANGST ANGST ANGST AGHHHH
what you’re longing for (you claim to abhor) by Ghxst_Bird (52k, 12 chapters)
“the not-actual-hallucination Jason Todd tries the less hands on approach to getting revenge. It ends up backfiring spectacularly.
aka. the non traditional way to (reluctantly) reintegrate into the family after being dead, coming back to life, and becoming a crime lord, Jason "Red Hood" Todd edition”
Great fic!! Really enjoyed it, lots of suspense and secret identity fun. On the longer side for these types of fic and still very enjoyable
miss me? by envysparkler (6k)
“Jason’s plan to observe his family’s reactions to his resurrection…does not go as intended.”
Pretty much the epitome of this type of fic. Definitely worth the read, Jason is terrible at pretending to not be concerned about his family’s mental health 😭
i’m not crazy, i’m just seeing things by envysparkler (2.9k)
“Dick knows it’s going to be a bad day when he comes home to his little brother standing in his apartment.”
Another one by the same author- this time from Dick’s POV! I really enjoyed the switch as I don’t see it too often.
his worthless savior by destiny919 (2.4k)
“It makes the victims fixate on whoever they most want to save them from the nightmarish hallucinations still caused by this toxin, the GCPD report - corroborated by Batman - had said.”
Jason and Tim!! I mean he’s.. sort of apart of a hallucination? In which: Red Hood vs. The Adoption Instinct
BONUS:

After getting a face full of Scarecrow’s newest toxin, Dick isn’t haunted by his typical nightmares. No. This one has little green pixie boots. AKA Batman: Ego but make it Robin.
SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP. This one isn’t Jason-Centric at all, but oh my god it is so good + features hallucination Robins so I just had to include it. Amazing analysis of the mantle of Robin. One of the best Dick-centric one shots out there, 100%. Go read it right now I promise it’s worth it!!
