Hi!! I haven't been on Tumblr for a while but I used to read a fic you made out of a prompt (?) Someone else made about Danny who freaked out when he realized the Waynes are the Bats and accidentally shot Bruce(?) And if I'm not mistaken you made a part 2 of it (idr remember if it was a wip or finished) but do you have a masterlist so I can re-read it :D? So sorry if I sound weird (Ā“āļ½;)
It is absolutely never weird to ask an author about their works!!!! Thanks so much for sending this in.
It's been ages since I've worked on this one, but it's definitely on my short list to get back to. Especially since I'm pretty close to having it finished?
Here's chapter 1 on AO3. And the Subscription Post.
Chapter 2 is limited to Tumblr right now, only two parts currently. Part 1 can be found here.
Currently it's called Want to Hold on and Feel I Belong. However, when I do start updating on AO3 again, I plan to change the name. (I'm just waiting so people who have subscribed are more likely to remember what they're getting an email about.) Mostly I refer to it as my Bad Reveal AU. Though I get that's not a great working name as that's usually reserved for the Fenton parents reacting badly rather than Danny reacting badly.
Also, as a thanks for reminding me that it's been a while since I've posted anything about this fic (or, well, in general), have the next bit!
Here's a random 1.5k.

Having a potential lead so close meant the hours until Jāonnās arrival were spent in prep mode.
Every uniform had to be checked for the slightest damage and upgrades done where possible. Supplies and go-bags were organized so they could leave the moment they had a lead. Fuel levels in every vehicle were checked and topped off where necessary.
And finally, the zeta tube activated and Jāonn stepped out. āGood day to all of you. I heard my assistance was needed?ā
Bruce went to greet him. āJāonn. Dannyās room is upstairs. Did Clark explain the situation?ā
āYes. He said that your newest ward has density shifting powers and left things behind in his walls and floor before running away a few days ago.ā
Bruce nodded sharply. āFollow me. Clark will show you where the items are hidden so you can retrieve them.ā
Dick happily zipped up what felt like the hundredth bag heād had to pack and joined them. āHey, Jāonn. Welcome. How have you been?ā
āGreetings, Dick. It has been a long time since our last meeting. I have been well. I want to wish you luck in finding your brother swiftly and easily.ā
Dick nodded his thanks. āSame. Weāre really hoping he left behind something to help because we havenāt had much luck so far.ā Dick pulled out his phone and notified the family of Jāonnās arrival and requested they meet in Dannyās room.
On the way, Bruce and Dick filled Jāonn in on the situation. At the implication of government experimentation, he face went hard and he vowed he would help them however he could.
Clark, Jason, and Alfred were already there when the group arrived and the rest werenāt far behind. With everyone present, the room felt crowded.
āWhere should I start?ā Jāonn asked Clark.
āBehind the NASA poster. I think thatās where he keeps the weapons. One of them is an object that looks like it might be the same as, or at least similar to, the weapon that shot Bruce.ā
Under Clarkās direction, Jāonn removed not just two more energy guns, but also a glowing-green net, a boomerang, a tube of lipstick, what looked like a weird, high-tech thermos, and a wooden baseball bat with a sticker that said āFentonā on it.
Dick couldnāt help but whistle at the pile. āDamn, he was packing all this?ā
āApparently,ā said Damian. But Dick could tell his youngest brother was impressed and mentally reassessing his beliefs of Danny. āPerhaps he is not as helpless as I previously believed.ā
āWhyās he got lipstick?ā asked Steph as she picked up the tube.
āDonāt!ā ordered Bruce even as she opened it and released a laser beam that left a small scorch mark on the ceiling.
She stared in shock before laughing. āOh, damn! When he comes back, Iām so asking if he could get me one of these. Thatās so cool!ā
āCan I see that?ā asked Barbara.
āWait until weāre in the cave,ā said Bruce with a sigh. Both women grinned at him.
Dick reached down and grabbed the net. Despite the color, it seemed normal enough, maybe a little smoother than most rope heād handled. He pulled out a pocket knife and was able to slice through one of the ropes easily enough. Jason came over to look at it with him.
āAnything weird about it?ā he asked as he reached out to touch it. āHuh, thatās odd.ā
āWhatās odd about it? Seems pretty normal to me.ā
āIt justā¦ It feels weird. It almost hurts to touch.ā When Dick looked at him sharply, Jason quickly added, āIt doesnāt hurt, but it feels like it should. If that makes sense.ā
āFeels normal to me.ā Dick showed him the break heād made.
Jason shrugged. āDunno, then. I just get a weird feeling from it.ā
Damian picked up the energy gun, Tim the thermos, and Duke the boomerang when Alfred cleared his throat.
āBefore we get distracted, might I remind you that there is more to find? We can bring everything down to the cave to examine them with no more damage to Master Dannyās room.ā
Everyone sheepishly put down the things they were holding. Dick bit back a laugh when he noticed Clark push the baseball bat away from himself with his foot.
āSo, Jāonn,ā Clark said. āI think the next area of interest is behind this poster.ā He gestured at a poster of the horsehead nebula. Dick had helped Danny find it and hang it up and the kid had talked about nebulae for over an hour as they did. The memory caused his eyes to burn.
From this stash, Jāonn pulled some notebooks and two external hard drives, which Barbara took. Dick and Bruce both grabbed a notebook. Dick opened his to the first page.
Journaling is such a stupid idea. I donāt have any time for it but Jazz says I need to get my feelings out. Pointless. So what if I canāt sleep and Skulker attacked me again today during English getting me another detention. Its not my fault! Shit, havenāt done that essay for Lancer. If I miss any more assignments heās gonna fail me for real.
Everyone knew Danny had been failing before heād been brought to them, but heād refused to discuss why. Once he was in school in Gotham, heād gotten straight Aās. Even if he did ask for the occasional help in English from Jason.
But this raised so many questions. Who was Skulker and why were they attacking Dickās little brother during English class. He flipped through the pages. Interspersed between journal entries were drawings of schematics. Dick thought he recognized some of the designs as the weapons theyād uncovered.
His eyes caught on an entry that started with a string of curses.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. My parents saw Dani today. In ghost form. They actually managed to hit her. Only her second visit and I couldnāt keep her safe. Some big brother dad cousin whatever I am. I did get her to the Far Frozen. Frostbite fixed her up. Taught me what to do if it happens again, too. And gave me the medicines and supplies to do it. Iām so glad I have friends in the Zone now. It makes it so much easier. I canāt get the image of Daniās blood staining my hands out of my mind. Going to Tuckās tonight. I canāt be around my parents right now.
Stomach dropping, he flipped a few more pages until he found one with a photo. It was a grinning Danny with white hair and wearing a jumpsuit standing on a curved balcony. Behind him, spire buildings rose into the air, many rounded in a way not often found on Earth.
Clockwork took me to Mars today! Holy shit it is so cool. Just, everything. We went back to when they were thriving and I had to stop an invasion. But thatās not important. Everyone here can go intangible despite being alive. Some of their buildings donāt even have doors because theyād be pointless! And the plants and animals are all so different, too. Clockwork helped me find some books on Martian history and biology and evolution. Heās also gonna show me where the Martians exist in the Zone so I can learn their language. Maybe one day I can go to Krypton or Tamaran as well?
Dick stared back at the picture. It did have that distinctive feel of wrong that extraterrestrial landscapes always had. He swallowed. āUh, Jāonn?ā
āYes, Dick?ā
āUm, Danny. This is his journal. He said he went to Mars. Beforeā¦ Just, before. Heās got a picture. Is this real?ā He handed the photo to Jāonn who hesitated a moment before taking it.
Jāonn froze as he stared at the simple image. āIā¦ Yes. This is my home. Howā¦?ā
Dick shrugged and wished he had an answer for the last of the Martians. āSomeone called Clockwork brought him there apparently. To stop some sort of invasion? He didnāt discuss that much. He was too interested in the planet and people to talk about what he did. He was hoping to visit Krypton and Tamaran, too. Also said something about Martians existing somewhere he called the Zone. He wanted to meet them to learn the language.ā
The look on Jāonnās face at the mention of other Martians existing somewhere was heartbreaking. Maybe Dick shouldnāt have said anything? When Danny came home, would he maybe want to talk to Jāonn about Mars?
With clear reluctance, Jāonn handed the picture back. āThis is your brother in the photo?ā
āYeah. I mean, Danny usually has black hair and blue eyes, but thatās him. Do you recognize him?ā
Jāonn nodded. āOf course. He is the Omen. His coming foretells death and destruction which he will then try to avert. I know what invasion he is speaking of, it is, was, taught in our history books. He saved all of Mars that day. We thought him a god.ā
Dickās mouth fell open. His little brother? A god?

Did you enjoy your little surprise update tonight? Let me know what you think!
#dpxdc#bad reveal au#wolf writes#dick is trying to be a good brother#but he keeps feeling like he's failing#(he's not he just thinks he is)#i hope my vague descriptions of mars#are accurate enough to hold up#the door thing isn't based in any sort of canon#idk if there were any buildings on mars that eschewed doors#but i feel like it'd make sense if they did?

Batfam AU
Damian was captured by some villain, and Dick just saved him.
Nightwing: Why didn't you send a distress signal? You could have gotten hurt. What if I didn't get here in time?
Robin: tt, stop your incessant nagging, Grayson. I can handle myself. Besides, I did send out a distress signal.
Nightwing: Really, cause I didn't get it, and neither did B.
Robin, realizing something: Ah, I believe I may have alerted someone else of my capture then...
Nightwing: who-
He's cut off as a red figure barrels through the window, shattering it.
Red Hood, guns cocked as he looks around the room: Who the fuck do I need to kill?
Robin, deadpan: Impeccable timing as always, Akhi.

De-Aged Danny, gesturing to a dazed Bruce inside Wayne Manor: And this is Bruce! Otherwise known as the Himbo! Reporters: Hmm, yes, interesting... Bruce: What the- Danny: I'm not sure what that word means. I heard it from Dick, but no one will give me my answer, not even Jason, who is easily bribed. Bruce: Why are there reporters in my house!? Danny, innocent and childlike: They asked to come inside, Bruce! They seemed like really nice people, so I thought it'd be polite to give them a tour. Bruce, filled with infinite patience: I really wish you had asked me before you did that, chum. Danny: But why? We don't have anything to hide... do we, Bruce?
Or, in order to rise to the Ghost Throne, Danny has to complete a series of trials to prove he is capable of ruling (or any other reason, Danny just needs to do trials to prove himself).
The last trial, issued by Clockwork, is thus: discover the Wayne Family secret in two weeks without the use of any of his powers.
He has one shapeshift to pick a form that could endere him to the Waynes, but only one before he starts and he has to get close to the family by his own wits. Danny, after studying the family and reading of one sentence summary of each Wayne, picks the body of a six-year-old little boy that looked like a child Jason Todd.
Bruce: That child is up to something. Dick, third favorite: I don't know, Bruce; he acts like a normal kid. Jason, #1 favorite: I doubt the old man's ever met a normal kid. Tim, least favorite: Bruce is right, but can you please not talk like the villains from Chicken Run.

When on flights/long car rides, Damian would be doing something, but with it being dark and quiet he always ends up passing out. Jason would let Damian sleep on his shoulder, and Dick would give him a blanket. Dick always brings a blanket.
Damian would fight with them about it at first. āI am not tired, Todd, and I definitely donāt need that blanket Richard.ā 20 minutes later, his eyes start to droop and he is out very quickly. Tim turns down his reading light, not wanting to wake up Damian.

So you know how there is a common fan theory that ghosts go through their death again on their death day? What about Jason going through it?
Feeling angsty crew, prepare yourselves
Trigger warnings: Jason death and all that comes with that, SA implications.
---
The first time it had happened it was in a LOA base, still catatonic and barely speaking, Jason was forced to train through the dark bruises that slowly appeared on his body, from his ribs and chest, to his fingers getting bent and crooked.
His trainers watched, not filled with concern but curiosity, an effect such a this had not been seen in the leauge in some time
As smoke was coughed up from his lungs and as bits of his flesh turned the same ghastly green as the pits, they watched, documenting it, unable to look away as the man boy seized and went still, finally.
---
The second time it happened, Jason was in Gotham, set up in a safe house, sirens and gun shots ringing out into the night, the sounds of his childhood.
He hadn't planned to stay long, only stopping by the safe house to grab a restock of ammo
Then came the phantom pains, tightness around his wrists, a deep, ever increasing sense of dread.
Jason staggered at the first ghostly strike to his head, hands flashing to his guns, scanning the room for what ever invisible foe that had struck him.
The next blow brought Jason to his knees, it hurt, oh God did it hurt, his head was pounding in a way that he barely remembered.
The feeling of his ribs crack robbed him of breath, a bone spur puncturing his lung, then came his hands, finger bones broke one at a time.
Jason curled himself up in a ball, just as he tired to years ago, tears streaming down his face under the metallic hood. The ticking demination of a clock ringing cruelly in his ears.
Then came the explosion, leaving his ears bleeding, eardrums ruptured, brain addled even more than the blunt force trauma caused.
With broken hands, Jason struggled to take off his helmet, as smoke poured out of his already damaged lungs. Smoke that clogged the helmet filters, that trapped it all around his face.
Jason Todd died a third time, the same way as the first two time that night.
---
It was a few years after the first time (that he remembered), that he found himself on a very bad day, he had found out that it always happened on the day he died, and he still didn't know what God had cursed him to relive it over and over again.
To add even more crap to his shittiest day, he was stuck in Wayne Manor.
The sense of dread was running though him, his hands were shaking terribly as he tried to just get away but his body wouldnt listen, he needed to leave get to his room, any room, hid away from his family, he didnt want them to see him like this didnt need them to be worried for him, he was so stupid, so idiotic to have forgotten what day it was, so wrapped up in having his family again that he forgot his curse.
---
Dick had a smile on his lips as he was about to jokingly throw a gaming controller at Jason, knowing he would likely start something to get his gaggle of siblings to do something together.
Yet it never left his hands, as he noticed Jason's eyes had gone glassy, a distant look in them, and a dull green sheen emanating from them.
Fear wormed it's way through him, Pit episodes had become less and less of a thing with his brother, something he was more than happy to see, but...this didn't seem to be the same thing.
Sending a concerned look to Tim, who has just walked into the room, even though he hoped (he thought they were over these, that Jason was getting better) Dick waved him back, if this was actually a Pit episode, he didnt need Jason to go off on Tim anymore than he had in the past.
Slowly approached his brother, Dick saw his eyes look into the middle distance, lost in his own head, "Littlewing? Jay I-I didnt..." His hand moved cautiously, coming into Jason's space and-
He flinched...Hard. Eyes flashing up at Dick but not seeing him, stuck deep in something else
Dicks heart dropped, Jason hadn't flinched when he had tried to touch him in years, not since a small boy in a ratty red hoodie was in Dicks old room, crying as he begged to not be sent back to the streets for them to "P-please don't t-touch me...I-Im sorry I-ill be good I promise"
But the words that came from Jason were far more haunting than what he uttered in fear, a voice hoarse and small came from him, slurred and heady with pain "Just...just let her go...C-can do anything to me...j-just let mom go..."
Bile, that was all Dick could taste as he held back what wanted to come up, he knew in a second what Jason was seeing, who Dick was to Jason's mind, trapped in memories.
He didn't know when he took a step back, didn't know when he had pulled away from his little brother until his back hit the wall, taking a shaky breath he forced himself back, He needed to be there, be there for his brother unlike...unlike last time.
"Jaybird it's me, Dickie? Jason..." he reached out agian, only to cringe back as his little brother flinch back, curling in on himself, his head tucked between his legs.
Dick didn't know Jason could look so small still, a distant thought bubbling up about maybe that's why he got so big, so he could never be that small again...but yet he was...
And Dick Hated It.
His hands fumbled for his phone, his fingers felt like lead, and all he could do is dial Ina number.
"Dad? Jason needs you..."
---
Bruce tore through the halls of his home with a fervor, his mind spinning with thoughts, from Dickās description of what was happening this was a Pit episode of some sort, far different than any he had seen before.
The halls of his home never felt so long and never felt so claustrophobic.
Old demons in his mind cackled, bringing back the doubts of himself...if only he was just a little faster, a little less prideful...
Coming into the den, Bruce scanned the room, seeing his eldest kneeling by Jason, trying to be soothing while not touching him.
Dick face was hard and worried when he looked up at Bruce.
They shared a silent conversation, ending with Bruce taking Dick place on the floor, Dick in turn leaving to try and figure what was happening.
"Jaylad, Sweetheart, you have to breath, Jason?" It hurt to see his son flinch as he reached out, but Bruce pressed on, his fingers softly pressing against his son's pulse point on his wrist.
Dread spreads across Bruce's mind as he can hardly find a pulse, pulling his hand back the dread turns to horror as he see red and deep blue bruises start to from across Jason's face.
His eyes were open, dull instead of the bright they should be, his breathing sounded forced and-
It was his nightmares all over again.
Pushing past the fear, Bruce forced himself to pick Jason up, holding his dear boy so...so close to his chest, jaw shaking as he rushed through the halls once again.
He can't let his son die in his arms yet again.
---
Hours later, Bruce watches as Leslie called time of death, they did everything they could but it wasnt enough...his mind is disconnected from his body, a deep dark numbness burns within him and he just can't understand why...
Why the world seems to determined to make his family suffer? What had he done other than try and help, to cure the throbbing cancer that is Gotham? To help his fellow man live better and be happy...
His numbly looks around the med area, his children gathered, Dick is crying onto Cass's shoulder, Cass herself has tears but she refuses to shed them, Duke held his head in his hands, small shakings in his shoulders could only be crying, Stephanie was by Leslie, demanding answers and what happened with emotions think in her voice
Tim wasn't there, he was on the other side of the cave, running through data files, looking for anything that could cure this...Bruce would need to tell him to stop, that it was already over.
And Damian...his youngest just stood there, arms crossed and...politely blank was all Bruce could see, no mourning as the others. Just...waiting.
He was the only one not shocked when Jason groaned, sat up, cursed and promptly fell back onto the bed.
---
Damian sauntered over to where they had placed Todd, all of them still so careful with him, as if he would up and fall dead if someone was to as much as sneeze in his direction.
"Tt, Honestly it is as if they don't know this happens every year..." His own reliving of his deaths was far less dramatic.
Todd had the gall to look at him with confusion, and it took a moment for Damian to realize what his look ment "You never told them did you, Tt...Typical" shaking his head, Damian sat next to Jason's has-been death bed.
"Not all of us brought back from the dead suffer so spectacularly as you do Todd, as Jon would say...I believe this is a *Skill Issue*? Hashtag get good?" He didn't use the lingo lightly,
And of course, instead of being offended as he should, Todd just stared dumbly at him "This is when you banter, or has your repeated blunt force truama to the head bludgeoned you into stupidity?"
Shaking his head, Damian tutted "Clearly I have to do everything in this poor excuse for a social interaction" clearing his throat Damian put on a deeper voice as to mimic Jason "Shut it Demon Brat. I do truly hate that nickname. Oh woe is me why am i just a little bitch that can only suffer. Worry not dearest fuck up of a human being I can help you. Oh glory be you, you turly the greatest Robin. Oh only you say it now~"
Damian gave a dead pan stare at Todds slackjawed look, "Shut it, Jon is rubbing off and me and i cant for the life of me make it stop...but honestly if you wish to know more, seek out Phantom, though...you look pathetic enough that he might just find you first."

Dick says heās going to start Christmas shopping now. He really (mostly) tries. But somehow it will be December 22nd and all heāll have is a weird inside joke/gag gift for Tim, concert tickets for Damian (to this small musician heās mentioned Just Once, which in Damian terms means heās dying to go), and a cashmere sweater for Bruce he bought months ago while in Paris. Trust me, he has IDEAS, and he always comes through, he just has to do this last minute stressful scramble, itās part of his process.

List of Doflamgingo and Corazon headcanons cause doomed siblings
1. Both brothers have extremely expressive eyes, they got them from their father. You can always tell what their thinking by looking at their eyes. Dofi was aware of this from a young age realising he could never tell what his brother was thinking because his hair covered his eyes. So he started wearing sunglasses. This kept him from being readable and stuck with him all the way to adulthood. This however also impacted Rosi as the entire time he works under Dofi he wears glasses to not let his intentions be read and thoughts understood, but the second hes with Law alone after finding out hes a D he took them off and let himself be readable for Law if it made the boy feel safe.
2. Doflamingo was always rather strong for a child and that came from helping his younger brother out. There were countless times where Rosi wanted to hold his hand yet when he tripped he would drag Dofi down with him. So he got strong enough to be able to pull his brother back up and not be taken down with him
3. Rosi was super clingy when he was small. Before and after they suffered on the streets, physical touch was such a love language for him, Dofi while never fully comfortable with it, was always sure to hold himā¦ Now Corazon hardly even leans on him. It makes an old wound of Dofiās ache
4. When Corazon first reunited with Dofi and he had time to process the fact his brother had gone MUTE after what happened years ago. Dofi wasnt sure what to think. While he felt no guilt for what he did and put his brother through a part of him feels almost pity, thinking his crybaby of a brother managed to scavenge around on the streets and survive without uttering a word. He felt pity, maybe remorse yet pride. That his bumbling younger brother had grown strong
5. One thing Dofi found odd about Cora was why he didnt use sign language despite being mute. When asked Cora explained that he never found a reason to bother learning. After all its not like people are going to go out of their way to learn sign for a random hungry kid on the streets. Dofi made sure all the family knew basic and needed signs so his brother could communicate needs quicker. Things like āhelpā āthank youā and names.
6. The sign Dofi used to symbolise corazon wa s a fist over the heart that he would clench twice to mimic a heart beat. It always gave a twicted idea of squeezing a heart. Law on the other hand would knock on his chest slightly to the left as if to knock on his own heart, this was because on minion island it was getting hard for him to clench his fists and found that sign far easier. Cora loved it.
7. As much as Coraās muteness made things more complicated. There was a power aspect of it that Doflamingo enjoyed. There was something about the fact he knew that that no matter how bad shit would get Cora wouldnt speak and he would not tell anyone of their life before hand made him feel powerful, in control. Cora could be kept on a close tight leash and that, in the end was the biggest reason he doubted Corazon to be the traitor. He truly though if his brother could not speak there was no way he could help the marines. Though the longer he was there and the realisation of his capability and strength slowly made him doubt that logic. Until he left and the marines stopped.
8. When they were children, Dofi was still a rather stuck up and serious kid, always waiting for the day he was an adult and could take charge. Rosi however was the only one who could make him laugh. It was this dark spell his brother always had in his back pocket. The faces he pulled, the little shows he put on all of it made Dofi laugh. Rosi pulled out all those same tricks to make Law laugh
9. It took Rosi a really long time to stop flinching at the sound of gun shots. While Sengoku was a reasonable parent and did not put Rosi though any kind of intense training until he was ready for it. Gunshots was one of the hardest things to help the boy overcome.
10. Rosi was always a quite kid. He was never particularly chatty or asked a lot of questions. Usually just making squeaks when he fell. But after what happened he was mute for a while with Sengoku. Afraid to speak up as his brother had found him weak for making noises crying. It took him a while and Sengoku was willing to work with him when he didnt speak, but Rosi found his voice and started speaking though still never often, When he ate the calm-calm fruit not much had changed in the talking regard
11. Rosi has used the calm bubble to scream and cry once in the privacy in his own room. Yes he knew what he signed up for as Doflamingoās corazon. But that didnt mean his heart didnāt ache whenever he had to take lives or threatening innocence
12. Every time he had call check ins with Sengoku, Rosiās voice would crack just a little, the lack of use taking its effect on his voice. Even Law heard it once or twice in the start of them travelling together.
13. Corazon originally had an identical feathered coat as Dofi, but between the fact it no longer made doflamingo look like the one on top, and Cora kept accidently burning the feathers. They switched him to black. Now no one can see the burn marks unless you really look

Nonbinary Tim Drake FicLet
just something I had in my head and wanted to get out, but not long enough for Ao3
Tims Androgany
Tim stared at himself in the body length mirror. He looked good. Like a fancy boy. The tux was snug and showed off his muscular arms and hid his slim 'girlish' shoulders and waist. All in all it looked good. He looked masculine in it.
but... is that a good thing? Looking masculine. Is that really what he wants?
Tim had always been very androgynous. He's got a slim lean build. He works out and is very muscular but it doesn't show thanks to how compact he is. When he wears hoodies and baggy sweats it's hard to tell what his sex is. It doesn't help that his hair is cut in a way that is both masculine and feminine depending on how you style it.Ā
And he likes it.Ā
He likes when people look at him and can't tell what's in his pants.
This suit makes him look like a man.Ā
Is that a good thing?
Tim opens the dressing room door to let Jason see how he looks in the suit. Tim looks good.
Tim doesnāt like it.
āYou look like Bruce.ā
Suddenly Tim has tears running down his cheeks.
Bruce is a man. Bruce is the definition of masculinity.
Tim doesnāt want to look like Bruce.
Tim doesnāt want to look like Bruce
Jason is panicking. Why is Tim crying? He looks good. He looks ready for the annual Wayne family charity bash.
Why is Tim crying?
Why does Tim look like Bruce?
āTimbit?ā
Jason is infront of him, blocking him from the growing crowd of on-lookers. Shoppers and employees alike staring at him as he sobs in the middle of the dressing room hallway.
āI look like Bruce.ā
His voice is squeaky. High and whiny. It doesnt sound like a manās voice
Tim likes that.
Tim doesnt sound like a man.
He likes it.
āI look like Bruce.ā
He repeats it over and over and over and-
Jason is pulling him back into a changing room stall. Wiping the tears off his cheeks and shushing him like heās a child throwing a tantrum.
Jason is calling Dick.
Dick is good at making Tim feel better.
Jason is not. Jason is panicking and shushing him like a child who is crying because Tim is 19 and crying in the middle of the fucking Macyās changing room.
The men's changing room.
Tim isn't a man.

Broke: Dick becoming a police officer to try and bring a positive change from the inside
Woke: Dick becoming a police officer because it gives Bruce an aneurysm thinking about how easily people could tie that to Nightwing
Bespoke: Dick becoming a police officer because, on the off chance he ever happens to meet the Joker in uniform, nobody will bat an eye when he kills him
#donāt give me the normal good person answer#āhe joined the force to try and fix it! he wanted at least one trustworthy guy there!ā#THATāS BORING#give me pissed off Dick#Yes he can help make it better#but he didnāt have to join to do that!#no! make it because he wants an excuse to murder the bastard who killed his baby brother!!!#and also so he could steal whatever he needs while destroying incriminating evidenceā¦#yeah heās a dirty cop too. just. a good guy dirty cop.#dc#dick grayson#nightwing#batman

give me a bruce that not only grieves for his lost (and recently found) son but also for his well and living sons who he has irrevocably broken any semblance of a normal father/son relationship with. give me a bruce that struggles with his relationship with dick, son or soldier? his greatest achievement or greatest failure? give me a bruce struggling with the image of the much younger jason he knew vs the jason before him now. give a bruce who struggles with tim and what he is to him? is he his son or is he just a kid he took on and what if that answer is different than when they first met? how to repair that? give me a bruce who struggles to be a father to damian knowing that he failed the three boys who came before him? just give me a bruce wayne that struggles and maybe doesnāt make the right decisions but tries nonetheless.

Tim Drake had grown up with parents that liked to act like good people, but when he'd tried to come out to them, they'd rejected and shunned him. Hurt by their reactions, he doesn't know what to expect when he begins working with Batman as Robin - a mantle previously held by the two cis male children of Bruce Wayne - but it certainly isn't this

Guys! Do you remember the Robins WIP? Well, the illustration complementary to the stickers it is finished!!!
It might look a little bit OoC because Jaybird is cuddling Batsā¦but what is cannon anyway? This version of the batfam has been to therapy. Thou, there is something that I am very pleased with at the cannon is the improvement on the Robins relationship, specially between Damian, Jayson and Tim. It is so beautiful seeing them support each other, or hug -even if then Dams procedes to electrocute Jason-.
Jason has grown so much too. From trying to kill Tim to be an active member of the family that cares and worries for his siblings ( Q ^Q), or even Bruceā¦. And after Alfieā¦Iām sorry, I just enjoy this boys stories so much.
You will be able to find the stickers in my Etsy shop! As soon as I have it finished. I am also working on stickers of the batbros insignias as solo vigilantes, those will also be at the Etsy shop.

I just wanna say, as of now, i believe the one bat family member who have the worst fashion taste is not Dick Grayson (though he is not on top) but Tim Drake.
#Listen he had a good idea about adding pants to his Robin custom and thats where it ended#Have you seen his red robin custom im screaming#Tim what are you wearing???#I also thinking Dick feel the same way about his brother fashion choices as me and try to talk to him#Just for tim to show him his discowing and og Robin custom and they just fight every time#Batfam#tim drake#dick grayson#Dc
