Damian Wayne was a survivor and anyone who claims otherwise is an ignorant fool.
Damian Wayne was born into the madness of his house, a child raised in a burning house thinks the whole world is on fire.
His actions were cruel, yes, but how can you blame a delicate lamb for acting like a wolf all dressed in red when he was raised by their pack. He simply did not know better.
Time for another dump! got some Bruce and Dick (platonic of course) and Damian being a good lad with a cat and a box. Second pic is from one of Jersey’s fics that inspired me.
He was nervous. He knew he had no reason to be. Father wasn’t grandfather. Now if only he could convince himself of that.
“ father” he spoke just loud enough to be heard but with enough false confidence to try and drown out his irrational fear
“ damian” his father turned his body from where it had been angled toward duke and the batcomputer “ are you alright?”
“Yes” gods that was dry he needed to make his point faster “ you named yourself batman due to your fear of bats correct.” More of a statement than a question
“Yes” fathers eyebrow rose telling him to go on
“ and you wear the name to overcome that fear correct.”
“ yes” his fathers face was filling with amusement now so was dukes who was now grinning knowing exactly where damian was going with this conversation. His little feet kicked eagerly from where he sat on the batcomputers desk
“ I’ve thought about it and have decided that I’ll be calling myself shadow from now on ” his back was still a bit stiff “ I’m not afraid of shadows though , its so I can make other kids who are afraid of shadows not fear them ” he rushes out with an explanation hoping his father won’t think of him as too childish
Duke jumps off the computer and tackles him with a hug. He’s a little startled but less tense now that he has dukes support, not that he ever doubted it.
He looks expectantly at his father.
Bruce smiles fondly at them “ i think that’s a good idea damian ”
His body immediately relaxes and he smiles back at his father. Maybe he could enjoy it here after all he thinks to himself
Tbh i would react the same way if someone hurt my pet….like no offense to anyone but if you hurt someone’s pet literally prepare for pain i have no sympathy for you……
bruce and cass have their cheat lists of people they would forgive themselves for killing, like it won’t happen but IF, bruce put joker on his and cass put jason. both jason and bruce sleep restless now
Tim stans writing paragraphs about how DC vs Vamps “sidelined Tim”, or how it’s OOC that Dick cared more about Jason, or how Dick killed him because he “would outsmart Dick” are the reason why Dick curb stomped him without a thought. You people really cannot shut up about Tim being “the smartest” and always the victim for two minutes.
