I Think More People Need To Play Around With Damian's Speech. Don't Get Me Wrong, I Love The Antiquated

very big fan of the idea that damian doesn't know how to express his affection directly to other people or else he will Implode™︎ so he just. drops paper stars into their utility belts.

tim hasn't actively tried to kill him the past week? three yellow stars in his back pocket.

grayson ruffled his hair once and he stomped out in a huff. the next time he tries to rummage around his bag, he finds like 10 paper stars just. inside. no bag for protection, just kind of all littered and slightly smushed because god knows how long they've been sitting there.

jon gets a whole mason jar's worth of them over the years, neatly placed on his nightstand so that he can look at them before he goes to bed.

in damian's mind, it's a nod to that one saying that goes "i'd give you the stars"; he just hopes they're smart enough to understand what it means.

My short list of romance anime that I've seen/read that that I think Damian would enjoy

School Rumle

Ouran High School Host Club (did this show age well? no. is it a classic? yes. i think he would enjoy the absurdity of it. the manga is definitely better)

Furits Baskt

Nana

Inuyasha

Princess Jellyfish

Sailor Moon

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun

Banana Fish (there's little hints of romance but he'd enjoy the story over all)

You're Lie in April

Komi Can't Communicate

Sasaki to Miyano

Whisper Me A Love Song

Ranma 1/2

I personally don't watch or read a lot of romance anime myself, I tend to get bored unfortunately 🥲

THAT IS SHORT TO YOU 😭😭😭??? OMG I LITERALLY KNOW, LIKE, 5 ROMANCE ANIMES, MAYBE?

From this list I've seen Ranma 1/2, sailor moon, Inuyasha, Nana AND THAT'S IT. There are names I know, but romance is not really my thing 😭😭😭

AND NOW I SEE THIS, WOW. I KUST WATCH THEM ALL.

And about Damian watching them YES, HE DID 🗣️🗣️🗣️💥💥‼️‼️‼️ (in my head, he did) BECAUSE, I THINK HE LOVES ROMANCE, THE MANGA HE WAS READING might have been slice of life, it could be... BUT I THINK IT WAS ROMANCE, SO HE LIKES ROMANCE NOW.

PRETTY BABY BOY JOINING "GUYS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY DON'T LIKE ROMANCE BUT SECRETLY ENJOY IT" AND JASON IS IN THAT CLUB 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️💥💥💥💥‼️‼️‼️

I see a lot of social media. So… give me Damian Wayne making social media accounts for Titus, Ace, and Alfred the Cat. Let Alfred the Cat have more followers than the entire family combined. Let Bruce Wayne follow only ten accounts on his official Instagram—and one of them is his son's pets. Give me Damian Wayne celebrating his pets’ birthdays. No one knows when they were actually born, but Damian remembers the days they came into his life, and he celebrates their birthdays because he can and he wants to. Give me the Wayne pets on social media… photos showing how massive Titus is and how he should probably start paying rent at this point. Show Ace constantly getting into fights with Jason and Dick over the clothes, how they're always stealing the clothes. Give me Alfred the Cat judging everyone, or doing something adorable. Just pets. Being soft. Being chaotic. Being beloved.

Ik ur depressed rn but i have a question do u ever use brainrot words??

Let’s start it off strong:

Hallucination Jason… or at least they think he is?? Basically, fics where Jason pretends to be a hallucination because a) he’s a wacky little guy or b) ANGST ANGST ANGST AGHHHH

what you’re longing for (you claim to abhor) by Ghxst_Bird (52k, 12 chapters)

“the not-actual-hallucination Jason Todd tries the less hands on approach to getting revenge. It ends up backfiring spectacularly.

aka. the non traditional way to (reluctantly) reintegrate into the family after being dead, coming back to life, and becoming a crime lord, Jason "Red Hood" Todd edition”

Great fic!! Really enjoyed it, lots of suspense and secret identity fun. On the longer side for these types of fic and still very enjoyable

miss me? by envysparkler (6k)

“Jason’s plan to observe his family’s reactions to his resurrection…does not go as intended.”

Pretty much the epitome of this type of fic. Definitely worth the read, Jason is terrible at pretending to not be concerned about his family’s mental health 😭

i’m not crazy, i’m just seeing things by envysparkler (2.9k)

“Dick knows it’s going to be a bad day when he comes home to his little brother standing in his apartment.”

Another one by the same author- this time from Dick’s POV! I really enjoyed the switch as I don’t see it too often.

his worthless savior by destiny919 (2.4k)

“It makes the victims fixate on whoever they most want to save them from the nightmarish hallucinations still caused by this toxin, the GCPD report - corroborated by Batman - had said.”

Jason and Tim!! I mean he’s.. sort of apart of a hallucination? In which: Red Hood vs. The Adoption Instinct

BONUS:

birdsong by ScarlettSwordMoon (22.7k)

After getting a face full of Scarecrow’s newest toxin, Dick isn’t haunted by his typical nightmares. No. This one has little green pixie boots. AKA Batman: Ego but make it Robin.

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP. This one isn’t Jason-Centric at all, but oh my god it is so good + features hallucination Robins so I just had to include it. Amazing analysis of the mantle of Robin. One of the best Dick-centric one shots out there, 100%. Go read it right now I promise it’s worth it!!

Jack: If someone is mean to you, you have to fight back, bud. You're a Drake, which means you're as tough as a dragon.

Baby Tim: Rawr.

Jack, holding back tears: Fuck, I'm such a good dad.

Janet: You have to be subtle with your insults. You must not be crude, nor weak. Understood, darling?

Baby Tim: So I can't say Daddy is dumb?

Janet: Exactly. You can offer to help him though. God knows that man needs it.

Brucie Wayne: Hi Janet, Jack! Oh, who's this little guy?

Baby Tim, staring into his soul: I saw pictures of you kissing Mommy and Daddy.

Brucie:

Janet:

Jack: That's because I'm a real catch, Timmy boy. Everyone wants a piece of me. I'm sure you'll be a heartbreaker just like me when you grow up.

Janet: Hun, shut up.

Baby Tim at a gala: OH MY GOD MOMMY ITS DICK!

Janet: Timothy! Where on earth did you get such crude language? No, stop it, no running-

Baby Tim: FLIPPY DICKIE!

Freshly adopted Dick Grayson after being bowled over by a toddler: Alfred did NOT go over this in his etiquette lessons.

howdy pardner

since a lot of yall liked the idea of cowboy nightwing

throws these out for good measure

freaky wip photo

Annoying brothers

talk about siblings

He was allowed to go on patrol alone. Little does he know the rest of the batfam is cleaning every single place he goes so he doesn't have to fight.

I'm not good at...drawing in general. LMAO, NO. I'm not good at backgrounds, I suck at drawing backgrounds, but I had this idea so I forced myself to do this.

I like to think Bruce tells his children to not eat nothing while being on patrol and Damian is confused because, he wants to drink his apple juice! So he hides one in his utility belt and drinks it when he thinks no one's around.

Next day there's a whole publicity of the apple juice's brand saying that their apple juice is so good even Robin drinks it, with a picture of him drinking the damn apple juice.

Damian feels betrayed.

He changes apple juice for grape juice.
