Headcanon that Dick, who consistently forgets he skipped a grade and was a mathlete all through high school and graduated early, makes fun of his siblings for being nerds.

He’ll see Jason reading a book and walk by and close it or slap it out of hands while saying, “Haha! Nerd.”

Tim is working on science homework at the dining table? “You’re actually doing homework? What a nerd.”

Damian is the only one he doesn’t call a nerd because Bruce told him he’s not allowed to otherwise Damian will take it as a reason to not go to school. Jokes on Bruce, because Dick picks up Damian early all the time or calls him out and they play hooky together. They have matching sunglasses they wear whenever Dick picks him up early. Sometimes he picks him up on a motorcycle because he’s the certified Cool Dad-Brother. (Bruce always forgets that Dick raised Damian the first year or so he was with the family while Bruce was thought dead. Damian has picked up many of Dick’s habits, both good and bad. Dick claims he has no bad habits.)

Then one day Tim and Jason get so fed up that he called them both nerd within ten seconds of each other and they start digging for anything to prove that Dick was also a nerd. It’s not hard, his time as a mathlete and general prodigy is well documented. They try to present this information at dinner, to which Dick laughs in their faces.

“You’re forgetting, I was also: a jock,” he tells them, a cocky grin in his face. “So it doesn’t count.”

And dammit, he’s right. He was on the gymnastics team AND the baseball team while at Gotham Academy. He won several awards for both sports. He was a state and national champ in gymnastics. He was on the winning all-star team his junior year, and only didn’t go his senior year because he had senioritis and didn’t feel like it. He’s been to the Olympics and won gold medals.

Damian, who also plays baseball for Gotham Academy, is equally as smug. Dick has been coaching him for years. And while Dick had hoped Damian would follow in his footsteps and be a short stop, he’s an excellent second baseman.

While Batman is the sternest mentor in the world because he has to be, Bruce Wayne spoils his children on a scale bordering insanity, and the only force on earth that can stop him is Alfred.

For all of the batkids, one of the most jarring aspects of being adopted by Bruce was the overwhelming whiplash between the utilitarian, practical "I've calculated exactly how many gummy bears you need and the answer is zero" vigilante they work with, and the endless shower of nonchallant gifts and praise that comes from their father the moment his mask is off.

When Duke casually mentions that he likes the baklava from that one Mediterranean bakery on 7th, Bruce has the bakery cater to their dinner table for a month. All Cassandra did was point at a sketchbook in a museum gala, and within two weeks, she had a fully equipped art studio in the west wing of the manor. Damian knows that all he has to do is gently tug on his father's sleeve and say "Baba, the electronics at the school are completely inadequate for my studies," and Bruce will pick him up and nod knowlingly, "Of course, Damian, I'll have Alfred drive you to Best Buy tomorrow."

No one in the entire Justice League has the gumption to try and quell this monstrosity. They sit helplessly as Nightwing interrupts a JL meeting and catches Bruce right before he slips into his Batman persona, innocently mentioning how sorry he is for barging in but he's just absolutely craving- and Bruce's credit card is already in his hand. Clark, once, tried to softly plead with Bruce to just not spoil the kids quite so much, and Bruce respectfully acknowledged his concern while actively wrapping Tim in eight heated alpaca fur weighted blankets. God help them when Steph wants a car.

Alfred is the only one who can restrain Bruce, but it's painful. "Master Bruce," he says in a firm, gentle tone, "Master Jason certainly does not require this many brand new motorcycle jackets," and Bruce just pouts- pouts, ladies and gentlemen- as he's actively sewing new patches onto an $1,100 leather jacket. "But he asked for it Alfred, and he never asks me for things, and I only got him eighteen of them, you know he runs through them so quickly..."

If I ever wrote a superhero story I’d want there to be a recurring shitty C-list supervillain in the background whose power was changing something’s colour and all her villainous plots would be colour-themed things like “If the city council doesn’t give me a million dollars, I will turn the city of GREEN Bay into the city of RED Bay!” and she’d turn the Golden Gate Bridge magenta or whatever.

So it’s all low-stakes villainy, but everyone absolutely hates fighting her because her very shitty superpower works really really well, and there are dozens of background characters who’ve fought her that are just permanently green now

8 year old Dick, sitting on top of Bruce's shoulders and giggling: Do I weigh anything to you?

Bruce, in his mid-twenties: No.

22 year old Dick, sitting on top of Bruce's shoulders with a mix of confusion, concern, and astonishment: Do I... weigh anything to you?

Bruce, in his early forties, slightly smiling despite his 4 hidden broken ribs: No.

The batfam just leave things around the manor like unsolved rubix cubes (the really big or weird shaped ones), or complex puzzles for tim because they know he will drop everything once he sees it to solve it.

Tim: *battling with a really hard puzzle box*

Jason: what is he doing?

Dick: oh i bought him the most difficult puzzle box i could find, he's been at it for hours now

Tim: *swearing loudly at the box while tussling with it on the ground as he tries to solve it*

Dick: its his enrichment! :D

Jason: ... like a zoo animal???

I just made a Zoey RSD post but tbh Rumi and Mira would likely also have a degree of rejection sensitivity, but more trauma-based than linked to anything neurological like ADHD being linked to RSD for Zoey.

For Mira, despite her skills in reading people, she still tends to interpret ambiguous things negatively. Rumi is acting weird = Rumi is hiding something from her = Rumi doesn’t trust her type situation. And given that she grew up as a “black sheep” of her family, disapproval and lack of emotional connection and possibly silent treatments would have been commonplace. She interprets a lack of communication as a punishment, and if she feels she hasn’t done anything wrong, it makes her angry. If Zoey or Rumi aren’t talking to her, they’re ignoring her. They’re shutting her out. Even if they’re not, to her they are. They learn to be very clear about things so she’s not left guessing. “I’m not mad at you, I’m just less engaged because I’m tired”, “I’m not ignoring you because we had an argument, I just want to gather my thoughts before we revisit it”, “I’m sorry I wasn’t honest with you, it was because I wasn’t thinking irrationally, not because of you”.

With Rumi it would all center around her demon heritage. If she feels any sign of hesitance (the girls not looking at/touching her patterns, being confused by some new demon behavior, etc) she begins to fear that they’re put off by her. Even though they assure her that they accept her, she wonders if they’re just trying to be kind and they really are bothered by this part of her. Zoey and Mira go extra hard on loving those parts of her to mitigate that. Kissing her patterns, loudly thirsting over her fangs, hearing her growl and saying “ooo do it again”.
