ty for contributing to the wasteland that is appreciating bruce as a parent and first child danny🙏🙏🙏

It’s a battle out here soldier but I am strong, like winter bear. Also I relate so hard to Bruce in a lot of ways and I think his initial concept is really neat. He tries his damn hardest, and he has so much hope for his city that it’s really admirable.

And as much fun as it is to poke fun at him for his questionable parenting and hypocrisy, there’s always the line of too much that the fandom tends to cross quite often, just as much as they do with the clone and ghost king stuff. Bruce is just as much of a good parent (or at least a trying one) as he is a bad one, and people tend to ignore his good qualities for the sake of a joke. His character is centered around the fact that he cares, he’s just truly shit at communicating it — which, cheers bro, I’ll drink to that.

And there’s already a ton of batfam prompts and aus out there where Danny shows up when the whole colony is already adopted, which means most of the attention goes to Danny bonding with the other siblings and having very little to do with Bruce. He’s kinda just. There. Whether that be as a prop or an antagonist or someone to point and laugh at. Which, I can’t blame people too much for — the cast is so big it’s hard to keep track of relationships and stuff.

However, I think it’s important for Danny to have some form of relationship with Bruce too and not them just be strangers, especially in a familial/platonic setting where Danny is joining the family.

They share a handful of qualities that I think would mesh well together — Danny’s canonically a pessimist while Bruce is a diehard optimist (you kinda have to be to be a hero in a place like Gotham, and he wouldn’t be Batman if he wasn’t) and they both believe in giving people second chances and have wells of compassion to tap into. Danny’s clever and resourceful, and one of his main character traits is that he’s got an iron will.

All in all, good dad bruce go brrrrr and oldest son danny is the perfect, underutilized concept to explore exactly that without distractions. I think they could get along like a house on fire, if given the opportunity.

#dpxdc #danny fenton is not the ghost king #dp x dc #dpxdc crossover #dp x dc crossover #starry asks #blood blossom au #nightingale au #tales of the passerine #i didnt include Danny’s puns bc. well. duh that trait is obvious you dont need me to point it out lmao #blood blossom will ultimately focus on Danny and Bruce’s relationship and not the vigilantism #danny actually isnt planned to join the field for a while for non-health related reasons #but you can find me explaining why in one of my reblogs on the og post #this ask got away from me but when does it never do that #i am a certified yapper #anyways you’ll notice in my other aus too that i dont make a habit of bashing or making fun of bruce #most of the danny’s in my aus have a posi-neutral opinion of him inCLUDING cfau danny #clone danny and stillborn danyal are outliers but even then their negative opinions aren’t because of anything bruce has done and stillborn #is really the only one who could develop a bad opinion. clone danny is just scared of him finding out that he exists but otherwise holds #bruce in a posi-neutral light. he recognises the good he does for his city he’s just scared shitless of the dude finding out that he was #cloned. especially since danny was a victim of cloning himself and knows how violating it feels #stillborn danyal’s opinion weighs firmly on who finds out about who first. he only hates bruce if he finds out first bc his shit esteem #easily convinces him that bruce willingly gave him up and replaced him with Damian. he’ll eventually forgive and let go of that anger when #bruce tells him that he was told danny was stillborn and didn’t know he was alive.#everyone has a batfam member they latch onto and unfortunately for me mine is the og bitch himself Bruce Wayne
