Do you think Damian ever forgets he isn't adopted?
Because I've read some things about the other Batkids forgetting they are adopted. But I think in a family like this, the reverse may be equally true xD
Do I think Damian ever forgets he's not adopted? Realistically: No. He spent his first year at the manor making sure every conversation he had somehow ended in him mentioning he was "the blood son". It would take a severe amount of head trauma or smth to make that boy forget that
But in my heart?: Yes I think he does because that would be so funny and the concept positively delights me😭
-----
Just one scenario this made me think of:
[Tim scoffing while looking at his phone]: Pfft Look at this article the Gazette did on us [turns his phone towards Damian to show an article reading "Bruce Wayne's Adopted Children make a appearance at most recent Gala"]
[Tim continuing with a laugh]: Can you believe that? I mean who's proof reading these things, right?
[Damian frowning while he reads the headline in slight confusion]: All they did was list our names? We were at that gala? What's wrong with it?
Tim: Well they listed your name too
Damian: And?
[Tim, waiting for Damian to stop messing with him]: ....
[Damian, genuinely confused]: ...?
[Tim poorly smothering an evil older brother smile as he realizes exactly what just happened & is about to lock it in his memories forever to be brought up constantly]: Damian...
[Damian, still not catching on & getting annoyed]: Yes??
Tim: You're not adopted
Damian:...
Tim: ...
Damian: Timothy-
[Tim immediately starting to sprint away]: I already texted everyone
[Damian cursing as he gives chase]: TIMOTHY I SWEAR-
----
Or just:
[Constantine doing a spell to break a curse a villain put on Bruce or smth]: Alright, all I need now is some blood from his next of kin. [glances at watching army of bat children] uh biological next of kin
[Everyone instantly turning to stare at Damian]
[Damian, who's been up for the last 42 hours with everyone trying to break this curse & has reached a new level of exhausted]: ...What?
[Dick, explaining hesitantly]: He needs someone with Bruce's blood..?
Damian: Ok? So give it to him?
[Dick now fully confused]: I'm adopted? I can't?
[Damian in full Dead Tired IncomprehensionTM]: So what do you want me to do about it then???
Dick: Damian. Bruce is your dad.
Damian: [blinks, no thoughts, head empty]
Jason interrupting because he is too tired to enjoy this right now & wants to wrap this up: You're the only one here with his actual blood, genius
Damian: ...
Damian: Oh right
Tim saves the cave recording to every possible file and hard drive he can get his hands on. Barbara helps him to ensure it can't be deleted. The entire family continues to bring it up for weeks that "the blood son" forgot about his blood. Damian never lives it down.

Fck it Droid AU headcanons? Or just a small thing with Skydroid / Twidroid?
Droid au lives on forever
Let’s introduce the rest of the boys
Masterlist
Content under the cut!
Sky
Model SKYLNK
Programmed to be a domestic droid
Babysitter, cook, butler
Tutors the small children, watches over them, and takes care of pets as well
Due to it’s softer programming, when working in the public, it tends to work in bedside manner
Like nurses and nannies
The kind to work in hospitals and elderly living
Not necessarily the newest model on the block, but is one of the most affordable one
Commonly seen in the homes of the middle class
This droid is known for having very little drive deviate from orders
There’s very little facial expressions for newer models
Some, however, have been seen to mimic the facial expressions of the people they serve due to the acclimating programming naturally found in all droids
The droid is built for handy work around the house
But not designed for hard labor or any heavy lifting
Perfect designed to keep things moving smoothly through the unit it’s assigned to
However- newer models have been seen to come with relationship programming (a new project from Hylia.Inc)
Further development is yet to be seen
Time
Model TIMLNK
One of the few adults droids on the market
Versatile for many upgrades and job applications
Heavy work? Built for it
Domestic droid? On it
Teacher, hospital nurse, secretary? Just download the needed package for him to take on what job you need him to do
There are certain things that maybe a bit awkward for him to do
Like translating or babysitting
But it works in a pinch
Also sought out as a companionship droid
Takes on a lot of brunt work
While he has a lot of packages that came with time (ha), he is used more for heavy work, like cargo or supply shipments
Isn’t so much for public availability despite the company’s best efforts to expand his roles in society
Not very expressive due to the shift in attention when he was being designed
This is probably why he’s not bought for public use even if he can do the jobs
But he is programmed to be hard working and the robotic equivalent to compassionate
So this guy never really stops working if the data received can be interpreted as contributing
Legend
Model LGNLNK
Teenage Domestic droid
Known for it’s extensive programming
In the highest demand due to the versatile talents that goes into him
Is used beyond domestic circumstances
Is typically found in place of a translator for political or high standing communal events
Can cook
Clean
Teach
Can directly call emergency services
Known for the original intention of keeping younger children company or for acting as a Jiminy Cricket for older children
Also originally advertised for older couples who wanted a younger energy in their empty nest
As since branched out to include the other features and is the more commonly seen droid out in public
Also the most customizable out of all of the publicly made droids
Is the only droid available beyond national borders
Other, more advanced models are in progress
Hyrule
Model TRVLNK
A multi-purpose droid
Designed for human relation work or bedside manner
Typically a nurse droid
But not designed for domestic use
Is designed with high grade professional use in mind
Is commonly found in nursing homes or in children’s hospitals
Is also a part of public staff in very highly populated common areas
Like carnivals and amusement parks and zoos and museums and the like
Also acts as tour guide in many other places where travel agencies send tourists for their holiday vacations
Is one of the few droids on the market that can connect to GPS
When droids begin to start working for the public division, they were at first found in buses, driving people from destination to destination
Naturally this upset many people and bus use fell around 19%
But with time people got used to it’s features and the buses ran on time for a change
Not to mention his pleasant demeanor and over all cheerful disposition in his programming made this model likable by many who had to see him on a day to day basis
Four
Model FSWLNK
Meant to be the successor to the WNDLNK model
Used as a child support droid
But also a family companion for lonely, childless adults who want youthful energy in the household
Because of his youthful appearance but older programming, this model tends to be used for public service more so than private ownership
Even if this model is seen nearly in every family friendly public space, there are a few who do accompany children as a family owned appliance
The reason he’s more corporately owned than privately is because he is also used as a child safety surveillance system
Like at public places where children can easily be lost
Like at the zoo, museum, festival, carnival, you name it
They are looking for kids without supervision or who appear to be in danger
It took a lot of training to get that programming even marginally successful
Because they need a lot of of the droids on surveillance, they tend to wear different colored uniforms so people can identify what job that specific droid is doing
Can also be found in child counseling offices or therapy clinics (physical therapy included)
One of the more easy going personality programs
Easy to get along with and easy to like
Is programmed to work with multiple units despite the success in privately owned facilities
Wild
Model CALLNK
Meant for high paced, highly demanding work
A public service droid by nature
Meant to work in the police force
Also found in office facilities
Or a high scale kitchen where orders have to leave in the matter of minutes
Used as a security droid in a lot of places as well
But more so as a security droid for high profile individuals
Meant to defend and protect no matter the cost
Even if it includes damage to self in the process
Not very expressive in nature
Due to the difficulties and intricacies in programming, they forgo any need for there to be a personal expression in this particular model
So he’s always straight faced no matter what the circumstances are
It’s very unusual for this model to be found in the private or commercial sector
As mentioned before those who use this model for private use are high profile people and people with money
One of the most expensive models on the market
Very few even know he exists
Wind
Model WNDLNK
Child Domestic Droid
One of the first models made by Hylia.INC
Made as an support companion
Later tweaked for homes where children are wanted but not available for whatever reason
As support companions they were designed to help children with special needs, whatever it may be
From reminding children to take their medicine on time, to helping them keep to a schedule and remembering chores as well as simply being emotional support
The concept was at first a personified tablet
But later on, newer models became more life like and more attuned for family life
Even more later on, they were designed for aforementioned concept of lonely adults who wanted to have children without the cost or mess or real children (Take that as you will)
Is sensitive to temperature
Occasionally feels “hunger” to simulate taking care of another human
Very playful in nature
Few models can be seen in schools with a little more money to float around, helping children where Paras are hard to find
Typically used in school with younger children as the older ones tend to be a little put off by his young appearance
A people pleasure by default, but no one knows if it’s based on his programming or on his need to see though with his missions for the day
Warrior
Model WARLNK
Consort Droid- built for relationships
Has been used for espionage purposes
Doubles as a security droid as well
Is seen typically working a desk job as well
Secretary models, am I right?
Someone has to handle all the forms and PAs and meetings and names and appointments
Not just desk jobs, but also customer service
Is very much used for the public service
Only the rich have it for personal use since it would have added features regarding said spy ware and filtrations mannerisms
Or just to have a pretty thing around
Some people are into that so he’s also for them
Service with a smile~
(potential angst for android War? Definitely.)
That being said, due the upgraded systems used for both security work and espionage
WARLNK models have also been integrated into public police forces
Public opinion varies heavily on either side
But their effectiveness cannot be ignored when investigating a crime scene
Twilight
Model TWILNK
Heavy work load droid
Handy man is all aspects
Meant to be put to work
Known from farms to construction sites
Programmed to be very loyal to the cause
Lives to serve so to speak
Needs to receive feed back to know if it’s contributing to the community
While not the typical domestic droid, some houses have been known to have a model or two around
Some companies rent out their models to the common folk to help with renovations, or moving, or landscaping, or plumbing- even electrical work
In this au, a lot work for “Got Junk?”
There has been the one in a million celebrity that has managed to find customization locals and renovate the model to be that of an escort droid
But that’s a very expensive process
And frankly, it’s easier to change the hardware than the software
Is also the occasional nursing droid
Known to be working in nursing homes and independent living units, where it might be required to lift an entire body as dead weight for whatever reason
Is the strongest droid on the market

How’d they react to you calling them bro or dude whilst in a pre-established relationship…(platonic/romantic)
Dick: he’s insulted.
Gutted.
He will try to give you the silent treatment for such a shameful thing but ultimately fails as he ends up being the one pawing at you for attention.
‘Do you still like me? Or did you just run out of cute nicknames to call me?’ He’d say one night as your both cuddling in bed together. ‘If it’s the later then I can help you find something, just please spare me and don’t call me dude or bro anymore.’
He’d rather you call him Richard-wait, no he hates that even more because to him you’re not meant to use his fully name, only cutesy nicknames that’d make a grown man sick to his stomach. Nothing else would suffice other than Dickie bird, handsome, babe, hunk, honeybun or anything that wasn’t his name.
He’s go mad or would act delusional and say that everything was fine when everyone could tell that it wasn’t. People who know him have personally came to you and begged you to stop calling him dude/bro because he kept talking their ears off about how his beloved partner is torturing him, which ends up torturing them even more upon hearing about his relationship issues.
Dick would even consult Hayley on what he did wrong, only for Hayley to look at him with those big, big eyes of hers. This was not her level of expertise unfortunately. (Head empty, no thoughts. She can’t do her abc’s guys it’s a real tragedy.)
Jason: ‘I just had my tongue down your throat just now and you had to go and ruin the mood by calling me bro. What the fuck.’ - Jason at some point.
It’s a whole mood killer for him to be honest.
He’s calling you things like chipmunk or sweetheart but here you were calling him dude and bro. He knows for a fact that he’s well and truly out of the friend zone because the shit you’ve done together isn’t platonic in any sort of way.
Thinks Roy had set you up to call him dude or bro behind his back. (He hasn’t)
Jason is petty and will get his own back by referring you as ‘just a really good friend’, ‘buddy o’ mine’ or even worse than both of those; ‘chum.’ 💀
When you go low, Jason was more then willing to go to the depths of fucking hell to the point it had become a game to see who’d call out just how stupid this all was, and at the both of you for ever thinking that this was an excellent idea in the first place.
You’ll probs get punished…I’m just going to leave it there and let your minds guess what that ‘punishment’ was exactly.
Damian:
As much as Damian hates it when you call him Dami, he hates it when you call him dude or bro even more, if that’s even possible.
Damian hates it when you call him dude or bro. He’s not your dude or bro, he’s your partner and he expects no less then darling, my heart or my beloved.
So you calling him dude or bro is more than enough reason for him to give you the silent treatment.
‘Until you learn that I am your partner, I won’t want to be anywhere near you if you’re going to keep calling me your bro or dude. It is a disservice to who I actually am to you.’ He says with a huff and beckons Titus to follow, only for the Great Dane to be left confused as to why his human parents were at a disagreement over something silly.
Also Titus, Ace, Jerry, Alfred the cat, Goliath and BatCow are children of divorce because I said so.
So it’s bests that you apologise while you still can because Damian can hold a grudge unlike any other. Even if you didn’t, you’d still crack first before Damian and quickly put an end to calling him dude/bro.
He just thinks being called a dude/bro when in a pre-established relationship is an insult.
He can take a joke but not when it’s aimed at his relationship. He’s well and truly devoted to his relationship -if we’re to completely ignore the whole being Robin thing- that it might as well be an insult towards him too at this point.
