the cloak is meant to be the league cloak he wears except i’ve seen so many variations so it looks kind of ass LOL. whatever i am just doodling 🙆

[mydearestdarlingdead]

thought about damian’s unique position as a son of the al ghuls and the bats for too long and got sad about it. also i miss my grandpa + listening to sad music on loop = i have to make this everyone’s problem.

chinese version below! thought i should start including two translations since i’m fluent in both and i might as well allow more people to enjoy the same art. i would also do a japanese version but i can’t be confident in that one at all HAHAHAHA

我知道我寫的字很醜、我太久沒手寫中文了。請您們原諒我⋯囧rz

I just found out drama about a billionaire who denied that his eldest son, who is adopted, is his next of kin and announced that it's his eldest biological son. After the adopted son made a video participating in a trend that he's his father's next of kin.

Bruce Wayne would never, interviewer stops Bruce on the street to ask if his next of kin is Dick or Damian. Bruce is like what kind of question is that, obviously it's Dick his eldest son. Interviewer said they assumed it would be Damian. Bruce would make a face and say that Damian is his youngest child. Interviewer is like yeah but he's your only biological child.

Bruce's reaction is the embodiment of "ok and?"

For some reason this just has to cause discourse online.

Whenever anyone writes Bruce showing up to school cause one of the kids got in a fight or some other random occurrence there tends to be a quick oh ok and then he takes them into the car to get ice cream.

No Bruce Wayne never in his life has believed his children did anything wrong.

You think his son punched a child?

Do you have it on videotape? Well then it didn't fucking happen.

His children can be guilty as sin, literally killed another child in class. Bruce does not give a fuck his kid is innocent, now once they get in the car that might change depending on the situation.

But damn right he's defending that kid to every single other adult.

It's not just at school. Or over the age of 18.

Superman once made a comment about Jason's kill count after he's big strong and every bit as tall as Bruce.

"Excuse me what proof do you have?"

"Bruce the duffle bag, you told me..."

"I'm sorry maybe, I just misheard what exactly did you imply about my son!"

Bruce is the parent that when the cops come to the door they better have a fucking warrant.

He has a team of attorneys, and a billion dollars fucking try him.

Call him from the police station. He will have badges.

You think the man with more money and power than god is letting someone else hold his children accountable.

"Who the fuck do you think you are Batman?"

Damian silently crying in the batcave after patrol because a little kid gave him a crayon drawing of him, with crude writing at the top saying ‘favorat ROBIN’ with an arrow pointing at what looked like him in his Robin suit and a Batarang.

When someone sees it hanging above his desk in his room, he calls it art inspiration. That’s all.

I needed advanced and written warning prior to watching How To Train Your Dragon 2. I'm an inch away from sobbing.

selfishly, just once.

Bruce doesn’t mean to fall asleep on the couch.

He’s just resting his eyes. That’s all. The living room is warm and quiet, the fireplace humming softly. His book is still open on his chest, and the throw blanket Alfred left on the armrest somehow ended up over his legs.

He wakes up to weight. Small, shifting, warm weight.

Cass is curled up on one side of him, knees tucked into his hip like a cat. Tim has claimed the other end of the couch, feet in Bruce’s lap, earbuds in, head tipped back and mouth slightly open in the kind of deep sleep only caffeine withdrawal can produce.

Jason’s on the floor, back against the couch, sharing popcorn with Duke as they watch some loud, low-quality horror movie. Stephanie is lying facedown on the rug with a bowl of grapes beside her. She’s not eating them, just throwing them at Damian every few minutes. He catches each one without looking up from his book.

Dick walks in with bags from that bakery Bruce likes but never goes to himself, and says, “Hey, Dad.”

Bruce should say something. Tell them to go home. Or at least use coasters.

But he doesn’t.

Instead, he shifts slightly, careful not to wake Cass or dislodge Tim’s legs, and lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding.

This isn’t what he thought family would look like.

It’s louder. Messier. Theres's music playing from three different speakers. Someone else smells like gun powder and cinnamon. There’s glitter on the coffee table. There’s a dent in the ceiling no one will admit to causing.

But no one’s yelling. No one’s walking away.

They’re here.

They’re staying.

And Bruce… he’s starting to believe that maybe he doesn’t have to earn this over and over again. Maybe they love him just as he is, not as he was trying to be. Maybe he doesn’t need to be perfect for them to choose him.

There’s a pause in the movie. Jason asks, "You good?”

Bruce looks around at them—all of them, here, safe, alive—and nods.

“Yeah,” he says. “I’m good.”

Jason throws popcorn at him anyway.
