i like the idea that it's understood in the Batfam that Bruce has a favorite but no one's really sure who it is-- all of them have their own guesses, and it's never themselves (except Steph, who's here to laugh at their theories)

Dick is convinced it's Jason because of how he saw Jason's death destroy Bruce-- like, he knows Bruce would cry for all of them, mourn and all, but... well, he's pretty convinced Jason had a spot in their dad's heart a bit bigger than they did

Jason, if asked, will swear to hell and back it's Dick-- the Golden Boy, the perfect son, the one he had to compare himself to growing up. Secretly though? he thinks it's Tim. Tim, the best detective of all of them, the steadfast kid who stepped in to fix everything without the slightest bit of thanks or appreciation, the nerd who dedicated himself to their crusade with nothing to gain from it. who wouldn't favor that kid??

Tim has known since the first picture he ever took of Batman and Robin who the favorite was, and has never wavered. Dick Grayson, his first son, the one who's pain was reflected so sharply back at him in a twisted mirror that he had to take the kid in-- Dick was the one to bring the Dark Knight to life in the daytime. Dick is his everything-- the boy he loved enough to slow in his life's work to help. Tim was certainly never worth the time, but Dick? Dick is impossible not to love, and to love Dick Grayson is to love with your whole chest

Cass bases her guess off of Bruce's body language, not Batman's, and for that, she thinks it's Duke. Duke is softer than the rest of them, less sharp edges from a childhood shaped by misery or death, and Bruce is less of a drill sergeant with him for it. after all, Duke doesn't struggle with directions like the rest of the Batfam (he so does, he's just the best at hiding it), so he gets less of the terrified, furious leader and more of the tired, worried dad

Damian has no doubt in his mind it's Cass-- at first, because she's the best fighter, and therefore most deserving. she's far more skilled after all, so in this insane family where adopted children upend the hierarchy he knows, it must be dictated by skill, no? no, actually. but then, he sees how Bruce doesn't yell at her, the implicit trust he has in his daughter. the way that they're so very in-tune with one another, it's like looking at a man and his shadow. Cass has to be the favorite, because no one else can look him in the eyes with the same sort of heartbreak he has and comfort him without a word

Duke was an only child before joining the Waynes, so it was a shock to suddenly see sibling favoritism so blatantly when Bruce so carefully and kindly talked Damian down from a rant about his classmates in the middle of patrol. no one else would've been allowed to talk about something so personal and revealing on a Gotham rooftop. it was just continually proven from there; shoulder pats and hair ruffles answered with little scowls, utterances of "son" that were lost to shuffling capes and tiny smiles tucked away in darkness

Love this lil tidbit -- Cass and Tim deserve to be besties who go into each other's houses without asking

I know this is a DC blog but I NEED dad Logan. Get that murder teddy bear some kids ASAP.

Fancast + non canon Headcanons ahead.

BOBBY MY BELOVED / 16

“Sure everything in my life is terrible. But at LEAST I’m gay”

Makes pop culture references Logan doesn’t understand. “Logan threw the first brick at stonewall” “what are you SAYING” “he’s an ally”

Can, will, and has gaslight Logan into thinking he’s homophobic just for not letting Bobby do what he wants

Stole a beer from Logan once and they found him drunk crying at 3 am. He calls Logan to apologize about it. “I’m sO sorryyy. You know I love you??” “Go to bed” “noOoo” Logan is next to him.

Has a secret YouTube channel and everyone watches for Logan interactions specifically

Mabel Pines coded

KITTY… that’s his half pint your honor. / 17

Logan is terrified. Why are you such an easy kid. Why aren’t you rebelling? Why isn’t defiance bleeding on your fists?

Why aren’t you clawing and biting and snarling for your freedom? Why aren’t you being a kid? Who do I have to skin-

Daughters are not supposed to exist quietly.

I hc that Kitty’s family is extremely unsupportive of her being a mutant, — but they’re just traditional in general. Specifically she’s petrified of being around/existing along men.

Certified babysitter when Logan’s not around. She’s so big sister.

“guys!1!11!!!! mr. Logan said not to do that!1!1!1”

Logan BEGS her to be a shitty teenager for like 10 minutes. Be bratty!!! Tell him to fuck off! Throw a tantrum!!!! “But I’m not a kid.” “You’re MY kid.”

JUBILEEE daddy’s girl / 15

Problem Child TM

Plays Rock n Roll by Avril Lavigne at 4 am to piss Logan and her siblings off when they annoy her

Grounded all the time but if she fake cries Logan will shamefully relent.

Always puts Logan’s patience to the test because she anticipates him leaving/giving up on her

Foster child with issues. She spent half her life looking for people and the other half being abandoned by them. This won’t be any different.

Except Logan is very good at fighting destiny.

Your honor I don’t CARE Logan is made to be a girl dad!!!!

“On the spectrum. Not saying which one”

STRONG she/they energy

Most affectionate with Logan out of all the kiddos. Her love language is terrible pancake making (Logan eats them anyway) and cat cuddling.

ADHD icon

LAURA (murder baby) / 7

Brings dead birds/mice to her family members (affectionate)

Charles has the bright idea to enroll her in school with the kids. “It’s important for children to socialize with peers their own ages.” “Can’t socialize if they’re all DEAD.”

That meme of the little boy and his father with an arrow in his shoulder

Youngest child privilege

Steals Bobby’s phone and shoot’s hilariously off angle family vlogs. One of them includes her stealing Logan’s motorcycle while he runs after her

[erinwantstowrite]

put so much thought into this and i'm finally of the opinion that in a LoF au with Gravity Falls, Peter is the Mabel to Tim's Dipper despite them not being twins (like Dami and Peter are joked about). I just couldn't pass this up,,, so yeah here's an early doodle for Halloween in our world where they dressed up as Mabel and Dipper

[nonsensology]

I was rather disappointed that last year's Disney100 celebration didn't feature Gravity Falls (or any other TV-originals, for that matter), so I drew this as catharsis.

More Disney100 stuff.

you, batfam blogger, do you know that duke thomas is his own hero and isn't just a prop that you can use to make your favorites look good

[incorrectbatfam]

Ok I need to know what's the comic book equivalent of the Kendrick/Drake beef?

#WayneVegasWedding Part 1

[bitimdrake]

You know that popular Fanon about Jason being Tim's favorite Robin, Tim stalking Jason, and Jason being Tim's favorite? Personally, I think Dick is Tim's favorite Robin. What do you think? I don't read a lot of comics, but obviously Dick and Tim are brothers, and I wish there was more Canon. Ps. English is not my first language. I'm sorry.

Okay I wish I had the energy to give a full comics panel breakdown of this in pristine incontrovertible detail, and have been silently hoping since I got this ask that motivation would appear. But it's become clear it won't so I will instead take the easier path to say:

YES DICK IS 100% TIM'S FAVORITE ROBIN THIS IS VERY EXPLICIT VERY DEFINITELY CANON.

Tim's backstory is all about how he saw Dick's parents' die, felt incredibly concerned for Dick, and instantly developed a lifelong attachment to him. And this connection remains a foundation of his character. Dick is the person he first reaches out to when he sees Batman slipping. Dick is the person who becomes his reliable big brother. And Dick is the person he will end up consistently going to for personal advice, vigilante visits, and let's-complain-about-batman chats.

He thinks Dick is the coolest person in the world, whether that's as the kid acrobat, or Robin, or an adult vigilante, or just Oh My God It's Dick Grayson (!!!!). His biggest hero is not Batman, it's Dick Grayson. He explicitly calls Dick the best. He doesn't think he can be as good as Dick--though Dick, in turn, thinks exactly the opposite. (There is actually something interesting to be said about their relationship in how Tim does put Dick on a pedestal in a way that can be helpful, but can also lead to unfair idolization and leave Tim unable to process when Dick does truly fail.) And their relationship is really one of the cornerstones of the 90s and 2000s batfamly, before the New 52 reboot.

Also, while there is no canon about Tim stalking Batman and Robin as a kid--he makes it pretty clear he kept up with their exploits via the news, not in-person--in his first appearance he does track Dick down to New York, break into his apartment when Dick turns out to not be home, and then follow him to the circus. Which, like, damn kid that is some serious stalking. You could get a felony for that.

(Meanwhile Jason, while he was dead, Tim mostly thought of either in conjunction with Dick as a past Robin, or on his own as a cautionary tale of what not to be like. It's just nowhere near the same as how he idolizes Dick.)

[fluffyspaceball]

Tim dkrake was abused and overlooked by everyone in the hero community and dickwad Grayson was cruel to take away the only thing Tim had in his life.

Damian wasn't even chosen by bruce to be robin and has no skill over than being a greedy bitch to Tim for no reason and it's fact that dick tried to send Tim to Arkham because he thought the Tim was reverting to joker junior which isn't fair because tin was just looking for approval after being abused by his parents.

Nest time educate your self before coming for the only good robin

1)his name is Tim drake

2)he has a (valid) mental breakdown because of his mentors assumed death which others in the hero community understood and literally just gave him space to grieve

3)Dick Grayson is robin. He always will be as it's stated in his backstory and it's his mantle to pass down because (you would know this if you looked at a comic instead of fanfiction) he took on the Job as batman and needed to be able to care for Damian at the same time so ofc he named Damian robin and the fact that you think robin is what defines a charecter tells me all I need to know about you

4)Damian was raised by fucking assassins in a cult which want to improve the future (very grey definition of improve) he has cultural literature intellectual knowledge and combat skills that are overlooked by Tim drake dick riders like yourself

5) you must be fucking stupid because if you read a comic instead of living is petty fanfics you would know Dick Grayson never sent Tim to Arkham and he recommended grieving therapy like the fucking amazing person he is (yes I am a proud night wing glazer)

6) where the fuck did you get the impression that Tim was regressing into joker junior like bitch wtf are you on (probably shitty fanfics💀💀)

7) why the fuck are Tim stans so convinced Tim is a uwu abused baby because he really isn't and was never abused (give me a cannon DC comic where tims parents abused him)

8)Next time spell next probably and don't quote fanfiction

Conclusion: Jason Todd is the best character PERIOD

[shipsdoishipidk]

Jason: Dick isn’t really Daddy material when it comes to the bedroom but holy Lazarus he’s a really fucking good mommy. Mommy kinks with him are a one way trip to a blackout orgasm.

Tim, forever scarred and knowing he’ll never look at Dick the same way again: I never wanted to know.

[batboopp]

the difference between Tumblr batfam fans and Tiktok batfam fans is insane bc TikTok fans will swear up and down that batman hates his “kids” and only trains with them to carry out his legacy and to get an excuse for beating the shit out of them while Tumblr fans are like “oh yeah Bruce and his kids go to the park to feed the ducks and they all have waffles on Sundays”

[robinhuntr]

Trying to explain to BatFam fans that hope and joy are good things and not every character needs to be tortured in order to be interesting:

[erinwantstowrite]

people underestimate how close tim and dick are and it is driving me NUTS

you get me oh my god,,, alighterwood and i talk about this ALL the time

like, i do love the dynamics between jason and damian and the rest of the bats!! do not get me wrong, i think they have lots of potential and the writers did us dirty in some cases. it's fun to explore them. however, tim and dick's brother relationship is so impactful to the entire story between them that it's insane no one talks about it more? or practically no one??

tim learned their identities through dick grayson, robin, not batman. he looks up to both of them but robin was his hero. when jason died and tim knew something needed to be done, he went to dick first above all else (technically, he went back to the circus). he trusted that nightwing (his robin) would be able to do something about it. he wasn't aware of just how deep dick and bruce's fight went but he knew who to go to about it. dick brought him back to the manor and tim became robin because of it. he was involved in tim's time as robin, he was the person that tim could go to about his insecurities, he was the one that tim went to about his relationship/family/friendship/life problems. he learned how to be the hero he is because of dick (and bruce, but this is about him and dick).

they were brothers before jason came back, before damian, before tim even met steph, etc. when tim was, in fact, going a little crazy (even if he was RIGHT, that doesn't mean he wasn't losing his mind at least a little bit, Tim Stans) about bruce being alive, dick was WORRIED about him!! because that's his brother!! he didn't threaten to send tim to arkham, he wasn't even the one who planned to give damian robin!! dick picked up the batman mantle because he felt there was no other choice (do not get me started on how gotham does not actually need BATMAN, but his spirit) and with that came the responsibility of looking after BOTH of his brothers. brothers. not children. dick can do a lot of things but he is not infallible. it was a shitty situation and it does not soley reside on his shoulders. tim had a right to feel hurt that no one was listening to him, but... y'all. he dropped out of school, he was kind of going off the deep end with how many other people died in his life around that time (his BEST FRIENDS) so of course dick was like "hey dude..."

tim is the closest to dick in the family, he looks up to dick as if he IS infallible in a lot of ways. that's his BIG BROTHER and also his personal hero. his favorite person. and dick cares about him just as much

can you tell alighterwood and i have such strong feelings about this?
