#anyway. justice for catherine todd and dana winters

[captainlordauditor]

I understand the frustration with people not treating adopted family like it's real, but I do, actually, think that Damian, who met Bruce when he was about 10 and was raised from birth knowing Bruce as an absent role model, is going to have a fundamentally different relationship than

Dick, who was fostered from a culture that has a history of having their children forcibly separated from their community and assimilated into whiteness

Jason, who functionally disowned himself before Damian met Bruce

Tim, the guy who went so far as to fake a legal guardian so Bruce wouldn't adopt him right away, and whose biological father died when he was 16

Cass, who did not meet Bruce at all until she was 17

I don't, actually, think Dick or Tim would consider Bruce their father unilaterally without caveats. Even Jason's relationship is complicated by the fact that he did have Willis and Catherine for the first 10-12 years of his life, in some form. And I think it's very possible that Damian would not expect his siblings to grok his relationship with Bruce due to the fact that every one of them had another parental figure in their life at some point, in a way that Damian has not.
