go write three sentences on your current writing project.
Duke Thomas consumes my every waking thought. Every conversation leads back to him. Every song relates to him. Every time I see the sun or moon, I think of him. I find myself thinking, "what would Duke do?" for almost every situation. Just, Duke, man, he is everything.
I think Duke would gets given a lot of gifts while on partol. It comes with working the day shift, really.
The first few weeks people were hesitant about a Bat being out during the day, some openly hostile, but now many see it as just a part of Gotham's charm.
One day, a girl runs up to him, holding a paper tightly to her chest. It was a drawing she made in class of Batman. The girl asks all shyly if Duke could give it to him and what was he meant to say? No?
So Gothamites started giving him things, first with kids crayon drawing, the some teens who made badges and pins, adults with letters of gratitude. Soon Duke was passing on drawings, t-shirts, crocheted dolls, poems, etc to all the batfamily.
Gothamites wanted to share their love to their heros. Bruce, Dick, Barbara, Cass, Damian, Stephanie, Tim, Kate, even Luke now had piles of trinkets after only three weeks.
One day, while on patrol as usual, a kid waved him down. He held poorly wrapped box in his hands. Duke swung down and took the box from the boy. When serching for the same he was shocked to find "Signal" written messy across the top.
Inside was a drawing of Duke a week ago, saving the boys dad who got trapped under his car. He hung to photo up on an empty wall in The Hatch.
Soon, that wall became more full than the rest of the family's piles.
When he gets in his own head, doubts clouding his brain, he stares at the wall. Art, photos, poems, letters, badges, stickers, patches, pins, shirts, dolls, shoes, all the items from Gotham, showing how he is loved by them. How he is their hero.
Duke still is asked to pass on gifts for the rest of the Batfamily, but more often he gets given gift for himself.
Get rebloged, nerd/silly
Every url that reblog’s will be written in a book and shown to my homophobic dad.
Insired by @overcookedfool 's headcannon about Cass and Duke being banned from hide and seek, Bruce uses their hiding skills to train the other batfamily members.
The training involves Duke and Cass hiding around Gotham and the others having to find them before sun up (for Cass) or sun down (for Duke). So that everyone can still get their work done, this only happens once a week.
If someone finds them in time, they can get a trophy from the batcave, if Duke or Cass remain unfound, they get the same deal.
Dick gets them to use carnival rules so winning a lot of little trophies can get you a big one. After a few months of the training exercise Duke and Cass put their trophies together to offically own the dinosaur.
me explaining how Duke may not be a Wayne but he is a batsibling and the complex relationships that he has with each of the batfamily members
Genuinely just curious, no hate or anything. Honestly I don't fully understand what is going on with him.
Duke's eyes glow brighter than most flashlight. His teeth glow faintly enough to see them in the dark when he smiles. His blood glows a little as well. He sometimes forgets he can turn them off.
Duke at 3 am eating cereal in the mansion, in the dark.
Jason breaking in through the window, seeing two glowing orbs sitting at the table: Holy shit! What is that?
Duke: Huh?
Jason: Duke? Oh my god what's wrong with your face?
Duke: Rude! My face is amazing!
Jason: Why is it glowing!
Duke: Oh, yeah they do that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duke on one of his rare nighttime missions with Steph, Tim, and Jason.
Steph: Shit, I lost my flashlight
Tim: Here, I think Bruce packed me a spare.
Jason: No! Wait, let me try something
Tim and Steph: ??
Jason takes Duke's helmet off: Look that way.
Duke's, eyes being better than any flash light Wayne money can buy: This feels dehumanizing.
Jason: Shh flashlights don't speak.
My most random Duke headcannon is that he would have a pet rabbit.
The rabbits name is Bat-Bun and they go paroling together sometimes.
Duke teaches Bat-Bun all the cute trick like playing soccer and giving high fives.
Damian often goes over to Duke's to play with Bat-Bun, even if Duke isn't there. He often comes home from patrol to Damian and his mum sitting together and talking while feeding Bat-Bun sweet potato.
Duke threaten to steal Damain's mum in retaliation.
Damian threatens to steal his rabbit if he tries.
They both settle for playing soccer with Bat-Bun together.
would there be interest in a duke thomas week ? i am considering running one, probably in july or august.
