#dick grayson and tim drake teas

[on-leatheredwings]

mmm, i love a yandere that's logical and cunning as well. they don't have to be 'cold' - it's even funner if they aren't! maybe they're perfectly friendly and mesh with society just fine, they just have a certain priority list and at the top of it is you.

they're always five steps ahead of you, the police, etc. if you see them have a breakdown/lash out emotionally, you're seeing them at their wit's end.

After a mission…

Dick: I can’t wait to go home, have a bowl of cereal, and go to sleep.

Duke: Lucky, I have patrol in like, two hours. No sleep for me. What’re you going to do when you get home, Jason?

Dick: Wait! Let me guess. Crack open a beer, order in Chinese food, and fall asleep on the couch watching a gritty action movie.

Jason, fully planning on having a lavender scented bubble bath while drinking vanilla earl grey tea and watching Pride and Prejudice: … Something like that.

[tirmel]

Bruce finds out that Steph and Cas are dating by walking in on them kissing and, as a tired dad, just sighs and asks Steph how many kids of his she plans to date

and, well, he's just sealed his fate, hasn't he.

Cue Steph going on 'dates' with everyone in the Wayne family. Dick? Of course, he's gotta take her to the next Gala and gush about her. Jason? You know the two of them are going to show up at the same fancy restaurant where Bruce has an important dinner. Tim? Cuddling on the couch ("What about Bernard?" "What about me?" Bernard asks as he comes and joins the cuddle pile as he, too, is 'dating' Steph). Dami? Steph shows up bright and early to take him to the zoo.

Duke, Barbara, and even members of the Justice League get in on the joke.

It ends when Bruce finds Alfred setting up an impressive spread for tea and is told it's for Steph.

"And whose her date this time?"

"That would be me, sir."

Bruce broods for an entire month after that and Steph, conceding that she can't top that, gives up and focuses on her actual girlfriend.

Duke: How would you guys describe Damian?

Dick: He’s clever, brave, resourceful—

Tim: Tiny, feral, and ready to throw hands with god

[timmydraker]

How I think each character would react to Tim not taking care of himself:

Dick:

As the most Older Sister coded character I’ve ever heard of, I think he’d struggle to not immediately try and take everything on for his brother. He’d want to lessen his work load and have a long talk with him about being responsible for his wellbeing but would also be scared to overstep and cause any kind of rift.

Eventually I think he’d settle on asking Tim to just take a shower and eat something. He’d start small, not making it as an order because he doesn’t want to be a douch, but firm enough that Tim can pick up his concern.

Dick is 100% the type to check on him several times and make sure he’s hydrated and well rested, especially after a bad night, to the point that it might be a little overbearing.

He’d probably also make sure Bruce would respond as best her could when the man seems hellbent of being allergic to emotion.

Jason:

Now, while I don’t think Jason is as emotionally unstable as a lot of people think he is due to the pit, I do think he’s awkward as hell when it comes to Robins. Everyone knows he loves kids and is basically a guardian of all children in Gotham, but his fear of his fate becoming theirs probably gets to him.

So when he sees Tim fixating on a case that’s either cold or old enough to not be relevant, he quickly realises that the boy is also it as obsessive as Bruce is with the Joker, just more brood with his obsession being all crime.

Jason sees his once unyielding desire to help people like him in a (mostly) spoilt rich kid and feels those good old heart strings yank.

Unlike Dick, he’s not as worried about coming off as an asshole and quickly becomes determined to get Tim into a comfortable bed with a good book that won’t drive him mad looking for clues. He uses his strength against the younger lad and gets Alfred to help him convince Tim to eat some proper protein food.

When Tim mumbles a tired ‘thank you’ to Jason, his instinct is to say no problem before running off to hide away from his family so he doesn’t have to confront that maybe the poor kid who had to take after him is better than he ever was.

Damian:

Growing up with assassins leaves Damian with as many emotional troubles as his father, but luckily for the youngest active Robin, he has good around him now.

When he notices Tim has been in the same spot at the Batcomputer since he saw him that morning, he just assumes that he’s doing important Red Robin work. It’s only after he looks at the screen and sees that Tim is actually going over how the sewer system all the way in Metropolis is going that he scoffs and begins to drag Tim’s chair over to the elevator.

Tim by this point would be used to his brother doing this as his odd way of showing care.

He learns to relent quickly because Damian will make good on his threat to get Alfred or Bruce and tell on him for his lack of self care.

Damian doesn’t talk to his brother, never knowing what to say, but he is a smart kid who’s more observant that people give him credit for. So, he will put Tim in front of his room and shove him inside before standing In front of the door until Tim goes to shower.

Then it’s just a matter of asking Pennyworth for some food and leaving it on Tim’s bed along with Alfred the Cat (who is far better physical comfort than he is) and then promptly deny he ever did anything outside of making sure Red Robin was fit for combat.

If he sometimes makes Tim herbal tea without any help, that’s no one’s business.

Former Talon!Dick Grayson and Robin Tim Drake, illustration I made for the second chapter of my story “Behind Blue Eyes (I was the only witness” on ao3.

I'm posting it again because I care so much about this illustration, but it flopped so badly last time. I honestly love the brotherly dynamic between Nightwing and Robin Tim and I miss it so much, so a few months ago I started writing by combining my passions: writing and drawing. I am very attached to these two members of the Bat-Family because I grew up catching up on Tim's 90s comics and I love the (wasted) potential of Talon!Dick Grayson

Ko-fi ☕

Ok DC fandome, Jason Todd Arkhamverse. Which would be his favourite cake? And now that we are at it what books do you think would be his favourites?

Alfred needs to know.

Or the other Arkhamverse character now that we're here.

[estupidapendejaestupida]

I believe in glow-in-the-dark green eyes Jason Todd supremacy.

Jason arrives at the manor at a very early hour in the morning to patch himself up after a very bloody battle he had with someone (you name it) and after cleaning his wounds he goes to the kitchen in the manor to fix himself a snack. So one of the bat boys (maybe even Bruce, cuz we know he's paranoid and can't sleep) goes to the kitchen because 'why tf is someone boiling water so fucking early in the morning?!'

And when they enter the kitchen they find a very very tall ( im not touching american metrics again in my life 💀) being build like a fridge with a pair of glow-in-the-dark fluorescent green eyes looking right back at them.

Tim: My baby is so tired he would definitely go down to the kitchen for a cup of coffe to keep working, and in his obvious state of lacking caffeine in his body he would get silently close and then brutally hit the being with his bō staff, and only stops after his brain recognizes Jason's voice telling him to stop fucking kicking me for God's sake!

Dick: he would get petrified for a whole 3 seconds before turning on the light. "Hey little wing, what are you doing here?"

"Isn't it pretty fucking obvious?"

"Ummmm.... not really, no..."

"I'm making tea, dickhead... want some?"

":)"

Damian: He would attack Jason with his sword. Oh,and he knew it was Jason. He could recognize those goofy ah ah glow-in-the-dark eyes everywhere. He just decides to attack because why not? Todd is funny to mess up. AND he woke Damian up! How dares he?

Cassandra: If she is staying at the manor, ofc. She would immediately know it's Jason and would probably help him patch up too! They would keep each other company the rest of the night till Jason leaves cuz he doesn't want Bruce to see him and lecture him for not calling for help. (And forcing him to day for breakfast-)

Idk how Bruce would react tho- should I make it?

(The kitchen the morning after Halloween)

Tim, downing his eight cup of coffee that morning despite it being only seven in the morning: Morning, Dick.

Dick: Morning, Timmy! How was your night after we got back?

Tim: Shh, Damian isn't awake yet.

Damian: Wrong once more, Drake.

Tim: Damn...

Jason, dragging his feet into the kitchen: Shut up. It's too early for this. And we gotta be up until tonight so we can patrol. Dumbasses...

Dick: How was your night, Jaybird?

Steph, trotting into the room: We got back and he couldn't keep his hands off of me! Best sex we've ever had.

Tim, spitting his coffee out: Steph!

one thing i keep seeing is people saying "the bat brothers wouldn't act like that, have you guys never seen a real sibling relationship?"

and i'm not saying that they're wrong because it's true that real sibling relationships aren't all cute nicknames and hugs and cuddles all the time. it's also fighting and glaring at each other over the dinner table just to forget all about it in an hour because you two decided to go and jointly annoy the youngest. it's painful jabs flying out of your mouth in a fit of anger that leave you both hurt and spinning around on your heel with a final "i hate you" to go lock yourself in another room and lick your wounds. and apologising mere hours later without ever actually uttering the words "i'm sorry".

but, as the eldest sibling: it's also absolutely the bear hugs and the stupid nicknames your siblings love to hate. you wrap them up in your arms and call them something only the two of you have the context for and they flush red or groan and try to escape, but tough luck, buddy, i have eldest sibling muscles (one of them is taller and stronger than me now, the other one will soon be and he's wriggly as a worm and if he doesn't want to be there he will not, and that means nothing because all the escape attempts and the grumbling are just for show. plausible deniability, if you will).

and their chosen method of affection is sneak-attack hugs and stupid whatsapp stickers with "ilysm idiot" on them and threatening to show up at your apartment in the middle of the night, and "i'm going to fight your boss/professor/friend - you deserve better", and, sometimes, it's falling on top of you as you're doom-scrolling through social media and leaving you pinned down for the following three hours as they steal your tablet and watch tv shows because "you have vpn and my laptop is broken again". which isn't exactly an "i love you", but it sure feels like it.

(and it answers every single "i love you" you've ever whispered into their hair.)

[babygirl-but-a-boy]

Damian: Drake, I am going to make tea.

Tim: Oh, can you make me some too?

Damian: This is why your your no longer permitted to be Robin.

Tim: ?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

[spider-jaysart]

Regarding the Batfamily and Superman Family, which ones are most likely to say accidentally or via force of habit ‘Chai Tea’?

@paladin-of-nerd-fandom65

I believe that there would be more people in the Batfamily that would correctly call it "Chai", while more people in the Superfamily get it wrong still lol, but here's the list:

Batfam:

Tim: It's a big habit of his to call it Chai tea still since he's so used to calling it that way instead, even though some of the Bats keep trying to remind him that's not what it's actually called (he even gets himself into mini arguments with Damian at the kitchen table sometimes because he keeps calling it this and it annoys his little bro very much)

Stephanie: Is pretty forgetful about it, so she accidently calls it Chai tea a lot of the time, but still corrects herself once she remembers

Duke: He didn't know at first that it was just "Chai", so he would always just causally call it Chai tea until both Cass and Babs told him that's not the way to really call it, while they were all having tea together one time, so now he always says "Chai"

Bruce: Alfred would always try to correct him back when he was still a kid, but he still gets it wrong since it's a very big habit, so Alfred just kind of gave up at this point

Superfam:

Almost everyone says it wrong lol, except for Kara and Chris

Thanks for the ask, buddy!
