In this headcanon, Damian didn't learn English until the age of 8, which made it his 7th language. As a result, his English isn't very good. However, he hides this well because he is a fast learner. He is good at speaking English but has to take his time to comprehend it when someone speaks to him.
This leads to the event where Damian gets de-aged and he doesn't understand anything they are saying, which makes the batfam confused as to why he is not responding. The first person to realize what was happening was when Cass spoke Arabic and Damian finally responded.

Damian: Didn't I have a twin that I killed in the womb?

Jon becoming progressively more and more obsessed with Damian in the same way that proximity makes you more likely to start liking someone.
Like if you see someone frequently or your physically close to them a lot you're more likely to have romantic attraction to them. I think because Jon would always either be with Damian or listening to his heartbeat it would work the same, except with normal people there's obviously no way to CONSTANTLY be aware of someone, for Jon he can just listen to Damian's heartbeat 24/7 or even easily watch him from a distance whenever he feels like it. If people are more likely to catch feelings from just proximity being aware of someone at all times like that would probably lead to some sort of obsession, like I love the head canon that Jon needs to listen to Damian's heartbeat to fall asleep.
Damian as the primordial being of life and creation and Jon as the primordial being of space and time. They're soulmates and meet in each lifetime even as they lose themselves, hit me up
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.
@tinybluealien 😭😭✋✋
I like to think he was on a mission, fell down the mountain right to the water, right in front of the monkeys, and now they think he's a weird type of monkey. Poor weird monkey, all alone, they decide to take him in. Besides, he has food!
Damian panics because those nuts are all he has and they're eating them way too fast. He thinks they'll attack him the moment they're over, but they're actually very nice.
He's starting to feel dizzy when Bruce arrives and, well...
Bruce gave them lots of yummy food and took Damian while they were eating.
Best mission ever.
Damian Wayne appreciation post 💕
When Roy Harper meets red hair Jason Todd?!? 🫣😳
Talia, hands on waist : Why are there little handprints over the original Van Gogh's I just get?
LoA's Jason, covered of little paint handprints, whispering in Damian's ear : Why are there little handprints over the original Van Gogh's she just get?
2 y/o Damian, bathed in paint, whispering in Jason's ear : Because I have little hands.
LoA's Jason, to Talia : Because he has little hands.
