#a lot of duke's appearances center around him feeling like he doesn't belong

[breadandblankets]

Thomas family dinners, everything from lazy meals on TV trays when everyone is too tired to cook to extended family meals for holidays, memories stocked to the brim with laughter filled kitchens and food made with love, dinners of hope and recovery and mourning and joy

duke who feels awkward and alone even surrounded by other bats because where is the warmth and love? duke who still now feels like an outsider because he is reminded that this is not his family, that his family may never come back

Thomas family dinners in the recovery process, the tentative poking around each other's new found traumas turning into a new familiarity, a new kind of living, a living that has his fellow ex robins and his parents and some of his fellow bats all milling around cups of kool aid in hand as his dad regals a gaggle of teens with his stories

a warm place where laughter echoes on the walls

#duke thomas #batfam #bread talk #idk what this is it's 30 to midnight im exhausted #However i am full of softness #my culture is a food culture #and to me feeding someone is the highest form of care and love #a lot of duke's appearances center around him feeling like he doesn't belong #and i want that wrapped up in my little bow #cause i don't think to him (or to me for that matter) that wayne family dinners would leave must room for feeling loved #maybe duke needs to just join the arrowfam lmao #anyway im tired take this
