I'm like so many years late to this realization but I've been thinking about the small ways in which Fig struggles with her identity throughout her life, and my mind has latched onto Brennan's off-hand comment somewhen in Sophomore Year, when they're deep in the throes of Nightmare King Horrors and thinking of ways to not have to make the nightly wisdom saving throws, that Fig, as a tiefling, needs to have a full night's sleep, because despite her mother being an elf, she is not.

It's such an obvious thing. Of course she can't trance. She's a tiefling. She has always had to sleep for 8 hours every night. Her entire life. Even before her horns grew in. Even when everyone was under the assumption that she was a wood elf like her parents.

This isn't ever brought up again, but I think it's nice how it weaves into her relationship with who her middle school self was trying to be, the self-described "typical cheerleader mean girl elf who dressed in pinks and loved to fit in". It's a really small and overlooked detail, but it does wonders to illustrate how, even before everything collapsed on her, she wasn't that girl. She only wanted to be that girl, so very desperately, because above all else, Fig Faeth Loves and wants to be Loved. She's not very good at pretending otherwise.

I wonder if it ever came up after sleepovers with the other girls she used to hang out with. I wonder if they thought it was weird. I wonder if Gilear worried on late nights about it being a health issue. I wonder if Sandra Lynn dismissed the thought. "It's just sleep, Gilear. Plenty of people sleep." I wonder if she listened in on those conversations.

I wonder about the many ways in which Fig Faeth has internalized the belief that there was something inherently wrong with her.

HEADCANON:

The summer before Junior year started were the bad kids/photosynthekids were fighting off night. They would take night shifts to take turns sleeping in the van like in s2. So when Adaine and Riz would get paired up to keep watch she would help Riz with spell pronunciation when he switched to arcane trickster and Riz has a bit of a British/elvish accent when casting spells because of Adaine

“I’ll be worried when Batman looks worried” except Batman never looks worried, that’s the problem. Even at the end of the world, the most you’ll see is a clenched jaw or pursed lips. He’s focused, he’s locked in. He doesn’t have time to be worried. 

This is a trait that, slowly, over time, all of his Robins also inherit. Nightwing leads a team through an unlikely-to-survive event, laughs, stretches his hands up over his head, and says “Wow, I genuinely didn’t expect to make it out of that one.” And half his team is like we saw you making finger guns not ten minutes before this? Be so fucking for real right now??

thinking of how fig must’ve gone from elf-passing to a full tiefling

do you think her skin would’ve turned red in patches that slowly grew bigger until it covered all of her? do you think sandra lynn and gilear thought it was a medical condition? do you think fig scratched and scratched at the top of her head because it was so itchy and it hurt and no one knew why? do you think, when the horns started to grow in, they split the skin that she had scratched raw? do you think she woke up one day to find blood crusting around two small points above her hairline? do you think sandra lynn tried to style her hair to hide the horns until they got too big? do you think her horns grew quickly, half an inch or so a day? do you think they gave her splitting migraines? do you think her tail sprouted even faster? do you think it completely threw off her balance? do you think she had to quit cheer because she could barely walk in a straight line without tripping? do you think her skin began to thicken, more so than elves’ paper-like skin? do you think sharp fangs grew in under her teeth and pushed them out like baby teeth? do you think she felt like she was teething again? do you think the whole process was over in a mere couple of weeks? do you think do you think do you think-

JL finding out bat secrets, but it's in the most simple ways.

Barry: how old do you think Robin is?

Oliver: you met him last week, he's like 12

Barry: yeah but like, he was 14-ish when we started the justice league

Hal: maybe he's an immortal vampire like batman

Nightwing: that's ridiculous

Hal: we have aliens and gods on this team. Why not vampires?!

Wally: can't be immortal if he was 14 then but 12 now

Barry: I've cracked it, there's more than one

Oliver: Your genius amazes and astounds

Barry: So the first Robin should be like 30 by now

Dick: WHAT

Dick: 30! IM 26

Dick now in crisis: I AM NOT THAT OLD YET

Barry: Hold on, wha-

*Wally silently laughing at Dick despite them being almost the same age*

Oliver: Were you Robin?!?!?!

Dick: I can't believe this betrayal! It's called mid 20's and you're no longer invited to Christmas Ollie!

Oliver: I was invited to your Christmas!?!

Wally: Well, not anymore you're not

Hal: Can I come?

Dick: that's up to Batman

Hal:...

Dick: Coward, this is why you aren't invited to family Christmas

Barry: YOURE RELATED TO BATMAN?!

Oliver: I WAS INVITED TO BATMANS FAMILY CHRISTMAS?!?!?!

and if I said Fig was the first person that not only understood Gorgug's struggles but also was the first peer to ever encourage him?

and if I said Gorgug has always been starstruck by how cool Fig is as herself and not any persona she has created?

one thing i absolutely adore from the first part of this run is something i wish i saw more

Damian having an actively different accent

Damian having perfect voice mimicry is cool and all, but the idea of Damian still having an accent that is 100% identifiable as being 0% gotham when being comfortable and acting casually is so good.

he's arab chinese and taught in multiple languages since he was a baby so I'd imagine he'd have a mix of stuff
