Conversation
Duke: This is like that lightbulb thing.
Dick: What lightbulb thing?
Duke: Okay question: do you have easy access to a lightbulb?
Dick: .....no.
Duke: Becuase if you do, I feel like I shouldn't tell you this because ADHD means impulse control not good.
Dick: I'm so curious about where this is going.
Duke: It's just the thing where you can put a lightbulb in your mouth, but you can't get it back out without breaking the glass.
Dick: Ohhhhh. You know, I reckon I could get it out.
Duke: Dick, no.

tim grew up being shoved into a box, and being a people pleaser
so he will genuinely sit and be uncomfortable if he thinks it’s what’s supposed to happen
and no one ever really notices, as this was how he’s always been, until dick takes tim to batburger and they get milkshakes
—-
Tim frowns at the cup, full of a freshly made milkshake, whipped cream, and a cherry. The teen takes the cherry and gingerly eats it, clearly making a face of disgust.
“You know you don’t have to eat that if you don’t want to.” Dick says with a sideways grin. Tim cocked his head.
“No? But wouldn’t it be a waste? You just spent money and took me out after a rough night. And I know you used your own cash and not B’s. I can’t waste this.”
The older vigilante let his smile drop into a small frown, looking out to the skyline. “I know, but a little waste won’t hurt. Especially if it’s bringing you discomfort. Tossing a cherry isn’t going to hurt my feelings or my wallet. You deserve a space to feel safe and comfortable to have an opinion and a say, even over something as minuscule as a cherry.”
Tim frowned and took a sip of his milkshake. “I’ll…. I’ll keep that in mind.”
———
It takes a lot to break Tim out of the cycle of everyone else’s comfort. Soon he’s picking at his food and not forcing everything down.
He’s putting in his opinion for movie nights, and suggesting recipes to Alfred.
Tim’s also now giving his input to Bruce, and taking initiative on patrol and cases, even solving a few old cases the dark knight couldn’t crack.
He’s grown a lot, shoving and pushing at the sides of the box that was hand crafted around him until it collapses.

DC Comics Incorrect Quotes Pt 136
Two Face: Do you have any personal connection to the defendant?
Tim: Yeah, that's my boy. And let me tell you something; he did that shit. Guilty as fuck.
Jason: What the fuck? Motherfuckers really ain't got no loyalty.
Tim: Fuck you mean no loyalty?
Jason: You just gonna go up there-
Two Face: Can you shut the fuck up?
Jason: You know what? I got some shit to say, put me on the stand.
Harvey: Do not go up there and testify. You're the defendant, don't say shit.
Jason: Fuck it. Hey, put me up on the stand.
Dick: This motherfucker going to jail.

fear gas is cool and all, but what if Crane made a gas that affects the fucked up parts of your brain? that makes the intrusive thoughts louder? that makes the executive paralysis worse? that ups the sensory issues by 110%?
i think his evil evil psychologist brain would love dissecting neurodivergent thoughts and such
i went insane in the tags about this and other scenarios

So like me complaining that my family thinks I’m neurotypical when I express that I want to get a diagnosis for my brain, and my besties really got me covered on making sure I don’t let them gaslight me into masking indefinitely.
For the record all my friends that say these things are either ND themselves, grew up with family who is ND, or have worked in care service centers with ND people. And also I cannot currently have any thoughts that don’t have to do with Bird Boys so…

Dick: Do you ever think about the dog they sent into space and how lonely it must have been? And then it just died alone. I might be crying about the dog they sent to space who died alone.
Jason: You're being hyperempathetic again, I see.
Dick: IT WAS ALL ALONE AND THEN IT DIED. Alone, Jason. No one to answer when she whines, no one to fuss her or hug her or play with her. That poor dog... at least it's a living sentient thing this time.
Jason: And not the fucking Titanic.
Dick: The Titanic's wreck must be so lonely.
Jason: The Titanic has bodies for company.
Dick: But the bodies are dead and disintegrated. It's all alone.
Jason: The dead are excellent company, thank you. But also, I am fairly sure there is at least one fish in The Titanic.
Dick: That is true.
Jason: Failing that, James Cameron in a submarine.

I love the bi Dick Grayson headcanon but saying he 'has a thing for redheads' rubs me the wrong way cause like.I get that people who say this are trying to use canon to back it up-Which i normally highly encourage when it comes to diversifying characters!!!-and including Babs since she's one of his love interest's but she shouldn't be...?
She was originally created to be a love interest for Dick's dad and has always had an age difference with him while being friends with him since he was Robin(iirc)and then there's the ableism and misogynoir in addition to it.Babs has had her disability erased again and again to keep her as Batgirl for the sake of Dick///babs and Kory gets put down again and again to prop her up-By both canon AND the fandom,mind you!!
I am 100% down for him being bi but please don't do it like this💀Let's just erase Dick///babs entierly,please

More batfam headcanons because I'm bored and I can. You know the drill this will get unnecessary long, and off topic because ADHD! Let's gooooo!
First things first, I saw someone talking about some of the batfam's hyperfixations/info dumping about it, and I want to also talk about that, along with Special interest, I'm just doing the boys for this part of headcanons (don't remember who they are, if you know them tag them so they get credit!!)
Tim's -who is headcanon has Autism and ADHD- Special Interests for me is not only Batman and Robin, but just Superheros/vigilantes in general, technology, Percy Jackson/Greek Mythology (being into Greek Mythology is actually what led him to Percy Jackson/just anything writen by Uncle Rick), photography, D&D (or W&W as it's called in the DCU I believe- always nicely correct me if I'm wrong!), skateboarding, music (headcanon that Tim was in the marching band, what instrument he played is up to you, and he was a theatre kid, knows of and actively listens to over 40 musical, the list keeps growing, if you don't like musicals don't hand him the aux cord), and Star Wars
I'mma say right now Tim's hyperfixations are Queer History, The Owl House (the person I mentioned before said that he, Steph and Alfred watch it together and I love that, especially Alfred watching stuff with them!), and surprisenly both crocheting and knitting, he's already made multiple family numbers things and it currently working on a sweater for Bernard
Info dumping for Tim is hard, because growing up his parents (and multiple therapist) have tried to teach him out of things like info dumping, stimming, ect. Taught it was annoying and bad so he shouldn't do it, he was taught he was better left unheard and unseen. So there are a lot of times were he holds himself back or he starts to info dump but cuts himself off when he notices he's doing it (kinda like Hunter in Owl House)
But once you get him going, he goes, and no one dares to try and stop him (might get murdered by the batfam and Tim's friends if you do). Like with the PJO series becoming a TV series, after some poking and encouragement I can see Tim just going off for actual hours about how excited he is about it, what he wants to see, what he doesn't want to see, how much he LOVES the casting and how he'll personally fist fight anyone who is racist against Annabeth's actress Leah, and more
The last person he did this to was actually Jason after they just finished a case and Jason was making dinner for them two at one of his Safe houses. Jason is listening the whole time, and even asked questions and made comments to encourage Tim to keep going, it was actually very relaxing for him
Next up is actually Jason, in my Neurodivergent batfam post I said that Jason only has Bipolar depressive disorder, but I changed my mind since then, he still had BDD but my man's also has ADHD, was diagnosed a little bit before he died
Anyway, moving on! Jason's Special Interests includes, classic lit, namely Jane Austen's books, plus some of Shakespeare's work, Star Trek (this causes arguments with Tim), plays (was also a theatre kid, just not on the musical end like Tim), motorcycles, guns (how they're made, cleaning them, different types, stuff like that), cooking, and surprising everyone gardening (he has a bunch of plants and helps Alfred out in the garden all the time)
Hyperfixations right now are, Greek Mythology (thanks Tim), Bridgerton, and coding (Babs is teaching him, sometimes Tim)
Info dumping with Jason is a lot easier than with Tim, because Jason never notices that he's info dumping, he'll just be talking, and now Dick knows just about everything about Bridgerton with seeing a single episode and is planning on getting him the books for his birthday. Once Jason realizes he info dumping he normally stops to make sure whoever he's talking to is okay with it and continues happily if they say they are.
Next is Damian (who is Autistic in my headcanon)!
Damian's Special Interest are, swords (the history of them, how their made, the different kinds, and how to use them, ect), art, taking care of animals/animals in general, learning different languages (I mentioned in a headcanon a long time ago that Tim knows A LOT of languages because he wanted to impress his parents (didn't work) but now he teaches Damian these languages and it's one of the ways they bond), different fighting styles, Disney movies, making jewelry (makes it for his friends and family as both a claiming mark (that my person, back off) and I show of affection, not that he'll ever admit it (they know anyway)), and fashion
Current Hyperfixations for the murder baby arrre, detective work (wants to be better at that part of the job), She-Ra because Jon made him watch it and now he's obsessed, psychology (he finds it fascinating how the brain works)
Info dumping for Damian is a lot like Tim, he too was taught that it was better to be unheard and unseen growing up, with Damian it's a little harder to get him started, but he too goes off once he begins, but it usually doesn't last as long as the others (30 minutes at MOST) but that's only because he is just a generally quiet person by choice and doesn't have a whole lot to say. The people he feels most comfortable info dumping on are unsurprisingly Dick and Jon, and very surprisenly Tim, it's Tim because they share a lot of the same (ish) trauma with it comes to being Neurodivergent and he knows that Tim will never push him or make fun of him
Now, last but certainly not least, Dick! (ADHD)
Dick's Special Interest are Acrobatics (duh), also Disney movies, fashion (tho he's terrible at it), baking, love languages (adores the entire thing, love to find people's love languages and show them his love through them), Queer History (that man is not straight (pan in my mind) and feeds happily into Tim's current hyperfixation on it), crafts (any kind, Bruce has so many of Dick's crafts proudly displayed around the manor (along with Tim's photo's, Damian's art, and Jason's old academic awards,he's a proud dad))
Dick's current hyperfixations include the Cars movies (much to everyones pain), the Percy Jackson series (started reading because Tim was forcing him to, but quickly began to love it), and learning to play the violin from Damian
Info dumping is very easy with Dick, if you talk to him for more than 3 minutes there is a 99% chance he'll begin info dumping on you, he is completely aware he is doing it, but grew up know what it was and that is completely okay to do so he doesn't care, and works hard to get his brothers in the same mind set. Him info dumping about Queer History on Tim is actually how it became one of his hyperfixations :)
I was going to continue with other batfam headcanons on this post after these, but this got really long so I'll start those on another post! Hope you enjoyed these :)

I feel compelled to expand upon the previous fae/folklore! Batboys headcanons:
-Bruce is just a straight up normal human. I think this provides a great opportunity for angst because unlike his immortal? children Bruce does age and it terrifies them. And Bruce is young he’s in his early 30s but like his knees will crack a little or his back is slightly stiff after a bad patrol and it just sends them into a spiral because they cannot fathom their dad not being around forever. I can definitely imagine them trying to strong arm Bruce into becoming some flavor of unaging. You could go super dark or just more generally emotional angst but damn the possibilities.
-Cass is giving me shadow person. Very cryptid of her. I’m not sure that I have a clear backstory for her worked out yet. Either magic gone wrong or she’s another flavor of undead like Jason and Tim. I like to imagine she just hovers over people at night to be creepy.
-Originally I wanted to say Duke was a Will-o-the-wisp. But I’m not really sure it fits, especially since he’s primarily active during the day. Then it hit me. Mothman. My lamplight boy is a moth creature. I like the idea of him hiding his little antenna under a beany and wearing sunglasses. The wings would be difficult. But my boy is creative.
- I think Steph and Barbara are also human like Bruce they just are extra bad ass.
-Coming back to life as a magical creature warps peoples memories and emotions from both the trauma and changing into something not human. Tim is significantly less effected than Jason, at least outwardly, because he was only a toddler when he died so he didn’t have many memories or experiences to draw from, but Jason was super volatile. His memories surrounding Willis became even more dark while his memories of his mother sort of glossed over her absentee parenting and drug use. Jason can’t help but struggle with associating the negative learned experience he had with his first paternal figure with Bruce. Jason ends up going to live with Talia for a while because he doesn’t want to feel that way about his dad anymore.
-Basically I think Jason, at least mentally, is the most human of Bruce’s kids besides Damian because he actually lived a life as a human, where as Tim changed so young that he doesn’t really know how to be anything but his extremely disturbing self.
-I think Gotham just has major ‘I do not see it’ energy. Like The Batfamily? Demons from hell. The Wayne’s? Hot neurodivergent people. Did you see Dick Grayson unhinge his jaw like a fucking snake at a gala? No you didn’t he just has a really big smile. Jason Todd??? Has scales??? Nope actually he just developed early onset Eczema and he’s really self conscious about it how dare you! Tim Drake sucking the blood of the himbo blonde boy? Everyone knows Tim and Bernard are total freaks. Cassandra Cain is your sleep paralysis demon? Honestly fair.
-It’s totally a coincidence that strange misfortune befalls anyone who threatens the Wayne’s!
-Clark is Bruce’s favorite man to sleep on so he gets a pass. I don’t know why but a midwestern spin on the story of princess kaguya lives in my head rent free. Like Martha Kent is just shucking corn and then boom baby in the corn. We call that children of the corn. I still love to imagine him being like so perfect that it’s high key alien, but his little sharp nails and fangies! Maybe even slightly pointy ears. And like Clark fully thinks he is human, like his parents don’t tell him humans can’t fly until he’s in kindergarten, and even then they just tell him he is special and learned super fast and shouldn’t embarrass the other kids and Clark is such a Good BoyTM that he just never uses his powers in public cause he doesn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable. Like bro doesn’t learn he is adopted until he is about to go to college, he is just straight up clueless.
-Clark learns Dick is a Fae creature when Batman brings Robin to the Watchtower cause he couldn’t get a baby sitter and Alfred doing some spooky shit like dusting the mausoleum. Like Batman just slinking around but there is this super colorful child with him. And then Dick turns and smiles and it’s just so wrong, like his mouth just stretching his face like some horror movie shit. Clark almost shots himself cause like what the fuck. Bruce told Dick to just ‘be himself’ so like he just thinks he’s being friendly. Despite being creepy as all hell Clark kinda thinks Dick is super adorable. Like was he spider crawling around the floor with all his limbs bent the wrong way while Bruce and Clark were talking? Yeah but then he just tugged on Bruce’s cape to ask for a juice box, like that’s a baby.
-Jason freaked him out in a different way. Since Jason is undead he doesn’t have a heartbeat and doesn’t need to breath so when he isn’t moving he makes literally zero noise. When he first met Clark he was just watching him from around corners and behind stair banisters and Clark was convinced he was losing his mind and hallucinating the kid from the Grudge. Then Bruce is just like “Oh you met Jason! He’s so sweet, just a little shy. He’s my second oldest! I think he likes you though.” And then a little grey blue slightly webbed hand just reaches around the corner to give a little wave and boom Clark would kill for him.
-Tim is similar in that Clark has trouble pinpointing his location because of a lack of normal bodily functions, but Tim has no idea what a boundary is. So like at first he’s a shy little toddler and then that night he’s crawling all over Clark and pranking him nonstop.
-Damian is a baby but like Clark looked in his eyes and just felt like this infant could see his past present and future and was judging him heavily. Clark was relieved cause at least he had a heartbeat.
-Cass lives to fuck with Clark. She’s Jason’s age but not only has no heartbeat and doesn’t breath, when she is in shadow form he can’t see her with X-ray vision. She can literally make herself undetectable to Superman. He learns this one night sleeping in a guest room at the manor. He gets the feeling he is being watched but can’t find anyone. Then right when he relaxes her arm shoots out from the darkness under his bed and grabs his leg. Clark screams so loud it cracks the window. And then just nearly silent muffled laughter as the arm retreats into the darkness. He X-Ray visions but nothing is there. He demands to stay in Bruce’s room after that. Bruce is just like “Oh that was just Cass. She likes playing practical jokes, she is my little princess!”

Never clearer that the batfam is just all Neurodivergent some where on the spectrum. Then the fact Dick Grayson just Does That (aka shoves unknown substance in his mouth because idk Science :tm:). I bet only like 3 of the batfam would actually be like horrified by Dick and it would be the unknown substance thing more than anything. Also this is why Dick Grayson is probably banned by his Titans from even thinking about putting poisoning into his tool kit.
Hi !
Well...now I'm curious, Who would be horrified in the batfam ?
Here is my headcanons for that:
Bruce: At best, he is disappointed but not surprised (tm), that man has lived with Dick since he was 9, There is no way Dick hasn't done that in front of him. At worse, he is the reason why Dick even know what heroin taste like,he has done it himself and trained them to do that (bad example Bruce).
Jason: Well...Actually Jason might be part of the people horrified (or he was also trained by Bruce and he is just like; "Yeah, that just a thing we do shrug").
Tim: Yeah. This kid does it too with enthusiasm. I have no canonical evidence but still. He also know what heroin taste like. I just know it, he just has the vibe.
Cass: No she isn't phased at all. She doesn't care. Does she do it ? I don't know. They have the best lab, but tasting it is faster, but then again the lab is probably more accurate.
Steph: "Don't put random shit in your mouth, what the fuck is wrong with you, people ?' (probably a direct quote).
Duke: You know you would think he doesn't do it but Duke is a bit unhinged like the rest of the family. I think he does it and he has been poisoned before.
Damian: "Richard...why are you putting unknown substances in your mouth when we have the best laboratory of the country ?" Yes, Damian won't do it. He is reasonable and will use labs thank you very much (and if you headcanoned Bruce as long suffering and not the first to do it, he sigh a breath of relief).
Babs: Babs is Oracle she is using that lab.
Alfred: Lol no.
Anyway that was so fun !! thank you so much for the ask !
