"Potraying Dick as a huge slut who's always getting put into fanservice is actually progressive because it normalizes casual sex and is gender equality because female characters get potrayed that way too!!!"I mean sure but i feel like we could prove those same points with a male character who's NOT a multiple time r*pe survivor of color that's gotten victim blamed for at least one his assault's and has been coded as demisexual with a discomfort towards sexual looseness for himself since the 80s anyway

Dick loves noise-canceling headphones. They make his mind feel so quiet. Bruce buys him a pair for his 13th birthday, and he doesn't want to take them off.
Dick also hates being vulnerable. He needs to be aware of his surroundings. He has to hear an enemy coming.
The only solution to this is to find Bruce wherever he is, and just sit. Bruce will be aware the his surroundings for him. Bruce let's him. They don't really acknowledge each other. Dick enjoys the quiet. Bruce enjoys having his son nearby. Dick feels safest this way.
Dick still has his first pair of headphones to this day. They're busted and chipped, and the stickers he had put on them faded long ago. He doesn't wear them, but he can't bear to get rid of them. They sit in a box in his closet, full of things he can't bring himself to throw away.
Sometimes, he holds them. He feels their familiar weight in his hand. He stares at their chipped red pain and the tape holding them together. He misses when he was young.

The Batfam’s Safe Foods:
Bruce - peanut butter. He eats it with a spoon right out of the jar. Alfred reluctantly allows it because at least he’s eating.
Dick - Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries cereal. Jason think’s it’s disgusting. Dick says he just can’t handle the Crunch™️.
Jason - animal crackers + Nutella. A man of culture.
Tim - veggie straws. Damian secretly eats them too sometimes, despite criticizing them for being bland and having none of the nutritional value of actual vegetables. (Alfred knows. He always knows.)
Damian - fresh fruit, cut into bite sized pieces. He will also settle for fruit cups but he prefers fresh fruit.
Cass - peanut butter. She picked this up from Bruce, to Alfred’s dismay. They each have a personal jar. Also cheese sticks, but they aren’t always at the manor because Tim will eat them despite being lactose intolerant.
Duke - peanut M&Ms. It’s not really food but he argues that if Dick can have cereal for any and sometimes every meal, he can have his M&Ms that at least have real peanuts in them.
Bruce makes sure Alfred keeps everyone’s safe foods well stocked, even when they aren’t staying at the manor. Just in case.

Okay look, I like long haired Nightwing as much as the next person, but everyone in his life was very relieved when he started wearing his hair shorter, because you know he chewed on that shit. Split ends & dried saliva meant by the end of a day where Dick had nothing else to distract him, his hair was crunchy in places. More than once, he’d be wrestling with his younger brothers, one of them would get a face or a hand full of hair, and recoil shrieking because it was wet. Someone would call his name, and he’d look up only to have a delayed realization and spit out the lock of hair in his mouth. Bruce unendingly lectured Dick on the risk of leaving DNA evidence at scenes, both in the form of lost hair and the spit in that hair. Stop chewing on your hair, Dick! You’re up to like 3 showers a day, and it’s still nasty!
Then one day, he came over with hair that barely reached his ears, and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Damian Wayne Headcanons :) in which I give him actual character growth, suck it dc writers
this is extremely long, I am not sorry
He has literally no footsteps, you cannot hear him walk, even when he stomps around in one of those moods, it’s just barely a little *pat pat pat*
He doodles on everything. With everything. Some Gothamites have found intricate floral designs etched into the roof or random brick walls (most likely with a knife) after seeing Robin patrol.
He has like 20 weighted blankets, all different weights and sizes depending on his mood.
His favorite item in his room is a silver Nintendo DS. (He likes to use the little chat rooms, even if no one else is on the other end. He doodles and writes little messages. It’s like his diary.)
He loves all animals, and that includes the creepy ones. Especially the creepy ones.
Once, Tim started screaming bloody murder over a massive bug with a bajillion legs in his room. Damian now houses it in an enclosure in his bedroom. Her name is Mildred, Millie for short.
When he was in the LoA, he was forbidden from stimming in front of others. It took two years for anyone in the batfamily to ever witness him stimming.
His most common stimming behaviors are shaking out his hands, scratching his palms, and rubbing his hands across different surfaces. When he’s really stressed, he’ll snap his fingers.
He absolutely hates cameras. They’re loud and make him uncomfortable. One reporter almost got scratched when they got too close to him with the flash on. He only barely tolerates the security cameras in the manor. Barely.
He can and will be roped into any dare imaginable. Bruce repeatedly forbids him from taking dares from his siblings for months at a time.
He has a compartment in his utility belt dedicated to treats for any animal he sees on patrol.
When he’s tired, he’ll speak a mixture of Arabic, Mandarin, and English. Only Bruce can make sense of it, and occasionally Jason.
Bruce absolutely refuses to yell at Damian. Even if some of his other kids argue that he’s being too nice, he’ll only use his Batman voice and his Soft But Disappointed Dad Voice, but he will Never yell.
(He doesn’t tell them it’s because of what happened the first and only time he yelled at Damian. Bruce moved his hand a bit, and Damian flinched wildly. Bruce cried for hours over the implications of that.)
Damian only feels comfortable sitting if he can clearly see the main entrance. If not, he’ll sit with his back against a wall or he’ll stand.
He dutifully takes the responsibility of feeding and grooming every Wayne animal. They receive the most nutritious and filling meals on the market (all while receiving lots of head pats.)
He has very strong eyebrows just like his father. They tend to pull the same exasperated expressions too, highlighting their resemblance.
Talia taught Damian at a very young age how to write perfectly with both hands. He no longer remembers if he is naturally left or right-handed.
The one insult he cannot handle is “spoiled brat.” A few months after he arrived, someone in the family called him that as a joke, and he completely shut down emotionally. No anger, no sadness, no resentment. Literally just nothing. For days. No one knows why, but they will never let it happen again.
You know he’s Up to Something TM if he swings his legs back and forth while he sits.
He is obsessed with those cheap TV documentaries about famous plane crashes and shipwrecks. After finishing one, he’ll find the nearest family member and tell them all about it: how it happened, what human error caused it, and his fool-proof plan for if it ever happens again and he is nearby. Usually, it’s Alfred.
For the first few years at the manor, Damian’s favorite spot is the family graveyard. Everyone calls him dramatic. He just likes how it’s so quiet. (And he’s dramatic.)
When Jason waxes poetics about dying over dinner, Damian just groans and says, “So have I. You’re not special.” That’s how the family learns he was repeatedly revived in the Lazarus Pit due to the fatal nature of his training and abuse.
His first ever crush was on the cute male tech at Alfred the Cat’s vet. Damian was 12. Jason, who accompanied him, proceeded to give him both The Talk (“It’s okay to like boys”) and The Talk (“Your body is ✨changing✨”) on the drive home.
He will not text back unless it is absolutely necessary. He will leave people on read. He does not hate you. (…Probably.)
Titus is a registered therapy dog, trained in helping Damian through panic attacks and sensory overload. If you ever see Damian asleep on the floor, eyes cried out with Titus resting on top of him, you know why.
When he was 13, he tried to fake his own death after he failed a test at school and “dishonored the family name.” Bruce and Dick had to sit him down and explain that grades aren’t everything, and they still love him unconditionally.
He talks to animals like they’re human. He has a habit of venting his frustrations to Batcow in particular. And his fish while he feeds them.
His love language to others is a mixture of gifts and quality time, usually without words.
One day, Damian was snooping around the house and found that one of the electrical closets leads to a tiny space—barely two feet wide—in between the sheetrock and the foundation wall with nothing but a single hanging lightbulb. It took years before anyone else found it, but by then, Damian had painted an 8x10 ft mural on the wall and created a small bed of blankets and pillows for when he needs a quiet place to escape unwanted stimuli.
When he sleeps, his cheeks puff out like a little chipmunk. It’s adorable.
During the Winter Olympics one year, Damian falls in love with figure skating and decides he wants to try it out, but he never asks to take up lessons in fear that he will be horrible at it.
Duke figures this out and now takes him ice skating just enough to avoid suspicion. It’s become their bonding activity.
Once, Jason and Tim made him try a Sour Patch Kids-flavored energy drink. He immediately spit it out and said, “What the fuck?! That’s even worse than drinking from the Lazarus Pit.” And that’s how the family learns that Ra’s made Damian drink from the Lazarus Pit a few times.
One day, Steph told Damian about the wonders of concealed self defense products. Now, about 80% of the mundane items Damian owns is secretly a knife. He will purchase any item that is secretly a knife. Including several fake lipstick tubes.
He has rigorous self-control when it comes to sleep. Sure, his schedule is a bit fucked up for someone his age, but he is in bed and asleep exactly when he tells himself. (His siblings could never.)
His entire wardrobe is soft items he “found” stole from the laundry room. If it’s comfortable, it’s his now. (No one complains. In fact, having Damian steal your clothes is considered a privilege.)
He hates whenever Alfred tries to recreate dishes from his childhood. It’s just not the same. Alfred understands.
When he’s really stressed—like the “I am one stubbed toe away from a complete meltdown” stressed—he will finger paint. He likes the feeling of it on his skin.
Due to his time in the LoA, Damian has a habit of never telling anyone if he’s injured. Instead, he’ll pretend nothing’s wrong until he passes out or literally can’t move right and someone calls him out. He’s working on it, though.
There’s a massive system of fish tanks in his room complete with handmade decor and multiple venomous species. No one even realizes until Alfred mentions it during dinner.
He has hyper fixated at least once on every single artistic medium you can imagine. His top three are oil paintings, mosaics, and pottery, but he mostly sticks to drawing in his free time.
He has taste tested all of his pets’ treats at one point for “research purposes.”
Giving friends their own nickname is one of the most intimate things Damian does to express his relationship with someone.
Once, he was having an argument with a sibling, and they said, “Oh yeah? Well at least Bruce wanted me!” Damian didn’t leave his room for exactly six days. He even stapled blackout curtains to his windows and the vents. Bruce chewed the shit out of whoever said it and spent hours every day talking to Damian through the door to convince him that, yes, Bruce wants him and couldn’t ever think of a family without him. Damian didn’t come out, however, until he heard Bruce crying while begging him to eat. Damian slept in Bruce’s bed that night and the following week.
When he turns 15, he gets really obsessed with Måneskin.
He’s exactly the kind of Art Hoe that is completely loyal to his favorite brand of art supplies and wouldn’t touch other brands with a 10ft pole.
He has weirdly thin fingers. Like creepily thin, especially as he grows older. Someone commented on them once, and Damian proceeded to wear gloves nonstop for a week.
There are exactly four (4) people who are allowed to touch him without permission first. Dick, Jon, Bruce, and Talia in that order.
His eyes are actually naturally blue. The reason they are green is because of the Lazarus Pit. It’s always the Lazarus Pit. (They barely glow in the dark too, but you need to really pay attention to notice.)
He can wiggle his ears. The only people to ever witness it are Cass and Duke. They’ve been sworn to secrecy.
Whenever one of his many pets sleeps in his bed, he tries to stay as still as possible without touching them so they don’t get annoyed and leave, but they always worm their way into his arms.
As he grows, his family is surprised to learn that he isn’t building the same muscle as his dad. Instead, he’s lean like his mother due to an extremely fast metabolism. He eats a lot to maintain proper health. (His cheeks are still puffy when he sleeps, though. And when he smiles.)
Dick is his emergency contact for school, partially because Dick isn’t as busy, partially due to that time Bruce “died,” but mostly because Damian is terrified of disappointing Bruce if he ever gets in trouble. Thankfully, Dick is convincing Damian otherwise.
His favorite ever birthday gift comes from Tim. It’s a pottery studio he spent months building on their property in secret with several pottery wheels and a kiln.
His hands have always had a sort of surgical accuracy to them due to his stealth training, but it never came to the forefront of everyone’s mind until one particular mission when Tim got shot, and they needed to get the bullet out as quickly as possible. Despite being bigger than most of his family members by now, and Tim refusing to stay still the whole time, Damian was the only one capable of taking the bullet out. While riding in the Batmobile. Going 80 mph. Completely painlessly. Damian is immediately given the de facto role of Combat Medic.
Jon likes to send Good morning texts to Damian. At first, he didn’t know about the “only responds if it’s an emergency” thing, though, so he decided to stop after a few weeks of Damian never replying. Within an hour of not getting the usual text, Damian was at Jon’s house in full Robin gear to make sure he was okay.
He and Steph like to paint each other’s nails when one of them is stressed. After Damian comes out as pansexual, Steph paints little pride flags on his fingers.
He only plays Minecraft on creative mode. He likes building farms and wildlife preserves.
At 16, he gets asked out by a pretty girl in school that Damian had a crush on last year, but he thinks it’s a joke because he can’t fathom anyone liking him so he turns her down.
As he grows, his looks become more androgynous, again eerily resembling his mother, but his voice drops low enough that it doesn’t cause much misgendering.
Then he starts thinking of his gender a bit more and wonders if he’s also a They.
He likes to paint all over the soles of his shoes whenever he gets a new pair. No one will ever really see it, of course, and it eventually wears off the more he walks, but he knows it’s there.
It’s a nice day in the park. He’s doing homework on a picnic table while Titus and Ace run around, and he can’t stop thinking about his future.
Yesterday, there was a school assembly about choosing a career path. Alfred slid him an SAT prep book during breakfast. And his class was assigned one of those “Which career path is best for you?” quizzes.
He gets Veterinarian.
It takes a full five minutes as Damian stares at the results, thinking about the crazy, out-of-this-world idea of not being a vigilante or assassin his entire life, what it would be like if he just turned his back on the future which was so carefully laid out in front of him since birth, before it clicks into place.
Damian doesn’t want to be Batman.
He doesn’t want to lead the LoA either.
Two years later, Damian enrolls in Gotham University and majors in Wildlife Biology on the Pre-Vet track with a minor in Studio Arts. He gets a dorm room, works in the pottery studio, and volunteers at the local animal shelter.
He is content.
Does some of this stray from canon? Yes. However, I do not give a rat’s ass. Thank you, and goodnight.

Dick is not the happy go lucky character every single moment.
Jason doesn't feel Lazarus pit rage.
Cass is not always serious.
Tim is more than a tired or depressed replacement.
Steph isn't just a unserious background character.
Damian isn't a murderous "demon" child.
Duke is more than just shy background character who is confused.
Can we stop pretending that the batfam kids only have one emotion????? Most everyone (with exceptions but-) no matter how emotionally repressed they are feel more than one thing, it's part of being human. It's so frustrating when people mis characterize them, and say they only feel one thing or only act a certain way.

I'm not against the 'Dick Grayson is a ray of sunshine' trope if it's done CORRECTLY because it has evidence in canon-Yeah,Dick IS very sweet and silly and nurturing,it comes with being a good eldest sibling speaking as an irl one-but the fandom always uses it to infantalize him and it feels so condesending and insulting to me as someone who's a lot like him and finds him extremely relatable????It feels so much like a desperate attempt to force the 'kind means naive' mentality onto him and that's just not true when it comes to him.Dick is a genius who's helped saved the world many,MANY times with his smarts and he's got so much trauma that he all but explicitly has ptsd,possibly depression and maybe even more mental illnesses and him actively choosing to be nice to others and have a big sense of fun does NOT mean he's stupid.Stop treating him like he dosen't know anything or can't take of himself,he's a grown ass man with a husband and wife and kids and everything,not a doofus teenage boy!!Y'all are so mean to him and for what smfh

I just watched some chaotic moments from The Great British Bake Off and I desperately, desperately want a cooking competition AU where Bruce is just this little agent of adorable chaos
It still takes place during the pandemic, so the contestants must bake from their own kitchens. If course, formalities aside, this is national television and people still want to look their best.
Bruce? He shows up in his fancy little robe with a Nirvana shirt under, hair a bird's nest from taking a clinical nap, but somehow still fluffy, some smudged eyeliner still drying under his eyes. The very definition of a hot mess.
Alfred is clearly seen face-palming behind him and Bruce is very oblivious to it. He's just fighting for his life trying to smear frosting on his little cupcakes.
The cupcakes are literally melting in his hands and he's like " That's good enough, isn't it?"
" No, you fuckin' muppet--"
" Mr. Pennyworth, no swearing please"
" Oh I'm sorry. What's next, forbid me from breathing?"
Bruce is such a spoiled brat and everyone has such a good time watching him pout at Alfred to do the work for him. Sometimes the judges just fail him to watch him pout and throw a little tantrum
Of course, little Dick Grayson is there to help (read: Make things harder for Bruce) as much as he can.
Which includes napping on his dad's shoulder, occasionally waking up when Bruce needs a taste tester. Bruce makes the news all because his little sweetheart eating cake from his hand half asleep
Bruce and Alfred have a bigger challenge; Trying to hide Batman.
[Bat screeching from the cave]
Bruce, looking straight to the camera: Ignore that

Bruce and Alfred's reacting to the Batkids new names is everything.
---
Bruce: Long hair, huh?
Dick: Is that all you got from my four hour explanation of the entire time I was gone?
Bruce: No, no, Nightwing was it? Nice adventures. I like the logo.
Alfred: Shall I schedule a father-son bonding haircut?
---
Dick: You named yourself after the man who killed you.
Jason: I... I mean...
Bruce: I should not have let you read classics. Congratulations edgelord.
Jason: Well at least I won't get my identity sniffed out by a parasocial teenager.
Alfred: Where is Master Tim?
---
Alfred: Red Robin? I had so much faith.
Bruce: Could've been more original. Nice wings, red color scheme, and bird logo. I'm starting to see what the neurologist meant by literal thinking.
---
Bruce: Oracle, I like it. I'm glad to see you back in action. Did you really minimize yourself to a computer program?
Dick: SHE NAMED HERSELF AFTER PERCY JACKSON! DOES NOBODY ELSE SEE THIS? You redhead ass Rachel Dare knockoff.
Barbara: We don't talk about it.
---
Bruce: Of all the names, really?
Alfred: That will obviously not get confusing.
Luke: Well. It's a cool name and you gotta get more original with your vehicles.
---
Bruce: Orphan, um, ok. Are you sure you don't want something else. How about... um... BLACK BAT. Y'know because yours in only an outline? Um, how about adoption papers. Do you want adoption papers?

Could you do a Batboy's react to a autistic male reader beginning to mirror them?
Batboys x autistic male reader
Headcanons
Tumblr media
i couldnt find a good gif so heres a bat.
Dick Grayson
-          Dick would realize pretty quickly that you were mirroring him and he would find it endearing, though he wouldn’t point it out in the beginning. He thinks its really sweet if you start to copy his way of speaking, his clothes or his habits.
-          He would probably wait until you realize yourself what you’ve been doing, and if you are embarrassed about it Dick would be quick to comfort you and tell you he finds it cute and likes that you do it.
-          On another note, Dick is the kind of partner who keeps stimming toys on him incase you need to use them, and he probably ends up using them himself resulting in you using them more since you’re mirroring him.
 Jason Todd
-          Jason wouldn’t realize you were mirroring him for a long while honestly, he’s so comfortable around you he doesn’t look too deeply into things. I don’t headcanon him as autistic but I honestly think hed start mirroring you too in ways, like how you say stuff or how you hold stuff.
-          You would find wearing his heavy jackets comforting so you just end up wearing his spare jackets or he gets you a jacket of your own. Mirroring Jason probably helps you in your everyday life in Gotham, since you look intimidating if you mirror his expressions and body language.
-          Its only when people start to avoid you two in public that you both realize you both look like pissed off gangsters ready to throw down If needed. He would find it cute so he wouldn’t really say anything about it because he likes it.
 Tim Drake
-          I headcanon Tim is autistic, so you’d both just start mirroring each other without realizing. You both end up repeating the same word back and forth at each other or wearing similar things or eating the same food.
-          Your friends or families have caught you both parroting back and forth many times, or have seen you both sharing clothes or food. Everyone else just finds it endearing even if you and Tim don’t realize what you’ve been doing.
-          The likes of Alfred realize the best way to make you both take care of yourselves is to make one of you do it, because then the other just ends up following without realizing. It made you both have a healthier sleep schedule and diet and you both never figure it out.
 Damian Wayne
-          I also headcanon Damian as autistic, though he has grown up masking so much he doesn’t show it a lot, so he would notice you mirroring him but its because he pays attention to a lot of things around him.
-          Damian becomes very aware of the way he acts because he knows you mirror him even if you don’t realize you’re doing it, so he starts to do stuff that’s good for you, like eating certain things or going to bed early.
-          At some point he would end up mirroring you back as much as he denies it, its because he feels comfortable around you and doesn’t feel the need to mask. So you two are caught copying each other regularly but no one makes any comments about it because they know Damian will start masking again.
