Do you know why Duke opts for the cowl rather than a domino mask? It’s because it works as a helmet. Because Duke has the WORST concussions due to his powers making him extra sensitive to light.

Within a month of him staying with the Waynes, he got a mild concussion. It was so bad they had to develop a system to give him food and meds so they didn’t let light into his room.

Bro became an actual vampire. Bruce opened the door once by accident and if Duke didn’t feel like he would dissolve if he uncurled he head from his blanket he would’ve ripped his head off.

Duke and Tim going through their belated teenage phase of thinking their family isn't cool enough to hang around with them and do the whole "you're embarrassing me" song-and-dance

Bruce- who has dealt with teenagers before- is still woefully underprepared for this. He's extremely grumpy when Tim gently suggests that he stop dropping him off at Titans Tower and Duke asks if Alfred can drive him to school instead.

Dick and Jason are horrified that their younger brothers think they're lame ("I'm Nightwing!" "And I wear a leather jacket!") and are willing to go to any lengths to impress them

The only ones spared from this are Cass, who is legitimately cooler than all of them combined, Damian, who they both want to impress and look like amazing older brothers in front of, and Steph, who knows that they're complete losers (affectionate)

Batboys Type Headcanons

(this is literally just a ramble)

Dick Grayson:

Tall women

People who prove they can handle themselves

Pretty people

Cheekbones probably

Kind of muscular body

Doesn’t care much about specific features but rather what it all looks like added up

Independent people

Is a clinger at first glance but actually values distance

Has probably the biggest variety type wise in that he dates very different people

Kind of nurturing people but often in a tough love kind of way

Thigh guy? unsure about him

likes a district sense of style in his partners, usually something that either keeps up with trends or is distinctly them

Jason Todd:

Butt guy, not unsure about that one (and also tummy)

Likes chubby women but also really muscular women

His preference is one of the two but he will go outside of his type

Like he has a type but he doesn’t stick to it

Cause he doesn’t actually seek out partners they just come to him

Also taller women

But then at the same time he is probably the one most likely to like a big height difference as well

so take that as you will

Likes either fighters or nerds

or both

pretty similar to Dick actually

Doesn’t care much about style in his partner, wears athletic clothes 24/7 and would take someone who does the same

Tim Drake

A mess

The one brother who (openly lol) is into guys as well

Likes people who can have a little banter with

Someone who can read him for filth i’m ngl

People around his height or a few inches in either direction

High energy people who can even be all over the place

likes people who are lowkey a stylistic mess, like they will have some cute outfits but it’s very hit or miss (usually miss)

Body type wise is not very picky but tends to attract scrawny little nerds like himself (/j)

boobs guy 10000% does not matter how much

Duke Thomas:

my lil pookie

Hips guy

Likes prominent noses

or actually prominent features in general

Is drawn to someone a bit more no none sense and serious so that he can see how long it takes for them to admit they like him

likes dark hair and especially when it’s long

Likes a sort of ‘tomboy’ clothing style

He is a true romantic and craves love at first sight

but also probably has the least hangups if his partner does not want to be married in the next 2-5 business days

Someone around his height but slightly shorter, but body type wise nothing specific

Damian Wayne (older)

unconventional but also still conventionally attractive???

Like he likes pretty people cause he likes pretty things in general

But they don’t have to fit into the conventional beauty standards, just someone who most people would be like oh wow they are pretty

people who dress alternately in some way shape or form

Legs guy def

needs frenemies to lovers, will die without it

Like he wants a best friend who he can play fight with and also tell everything and also kiss sometimes

likes body mods (piercings, tattoos, contacts, dyed hair, etc.)

either short hair or really long hair no in between

someone his height or a few inches in either direction

Duke headcanon:

That boy has no shadow. None. Sometimes he has two. He needs to make a conscious effort to have the right amount of shadows. He often forgets and freaks his siblings out.

ok so my insomnia has gifted you folks some snazzy batfam content

what if Duke isn’t used to the idea or fully processed the fact Jason, Bruce, and Damian “died” and came back

Just image the whack situations

Dick: ah, vine was a simpler time

Jason: the what?

Dick: oh right you were dead. Vine was-

Duke: *struggling and failing not to choke on his drink* what?!

Duke: wait, you dropped out of high school? How’d you become CEO of Wayne Enterprises?

Tim: oh, Bruce died and I wanted to stick it to Ra’s

Duke: ah, that makes sen- no that doesn’t make sense at all- what?!

Bruce: I died and he hijacked my company

Duke: ???

Duke: you are literally standing right in front of me?!

Damian: Thomas, I require a sparring partner

Duke: *imitating* Damian, I request you find a different sparring partner

Damian: no, I must hone my skills against a meta of your abilities

Duke: why don’t you go find Cass or your dad or something? They can kick my butt, that should be a good enough reason to spar with them

Damian: I would rather die again

Duke: again?!

The batfam is on a case and waiting to stop a weapons trade and it turns out Red Hood was working the same case and goes in guns blazing

Red Hood: 😈

Nightwing: Hood, no!

Red Hood: Hood, yes!

Batman: Hood non-lethal only. No guns.

Red Hood: 👿

Nightwing: they’ve got raven rods!

Signal: they’ve got what?

Red Robin: Hood got whacked by a crowbar one too many times so we call them raven rods to make Batman feel better

Batman: it doesn’t make me feel better, I just don’t want to risk Hood-

Red Hood: Really, old man? You think the word crowbar is going to trigger me? Do you know how many post-death crowbars have greeted me already? I’m not triggered, B, you are

Nightwing: guys- not the time!

Signal: post what now?

A prayer for all the other times Duke wasn’t prepared for Jason referencing his death

Wayne Family and Galas Headcanon

I actually have an opinion that not all of the Waynes totally abhor galas like they are usually depicted as in fanon. Here are some of my thoughts on who does and does not like Rich People PartiesTM:

Bruce: Usually hates them, but likes that he can use his “Brucie” persona to fuck with people he doesn’t like and embarrass his kids.

Dick: Loves them. He gets to dress up all fancy and watch a bunch of other fancily dressed people. Rich people are total freaks, and getting to listen to the wacky shit that comes out of their mouths is better than any sitcom. It’s almost as good as a circus.

Jason: Hates them. Everybody there can go eat rocks as far as he is concerned. The only good parts are when he inevitably causes a scene by absolutely bodying some smug, rich, racist bastard for making a rude comment against him or his siblings and he is forcibly removed by security. This happens at every single function. Jason is not sure why Bruce keeps forcing him to attend. The Wayne family lawyers and PR team are tired. Also, the food is served in ridiculously small portions and that fucking sucks.

Cass: Like them for similar reasons to Dick. She loves getting dressed up - it makes her feel like one of the princesses in the animated movies that Dick loves so much. Her favorite part is getting to dance with her family. She especially loves that Bruce always makes sure to put away his Brucie persona to do a Father-Daughter dance with her. She also always wears a pair of beautiful pearl earrings that Bruce gave her when he adopted her. They were once a part of his mother’s favorite necklace (you know the one).

Tim: Doesn’t care for them, but usually doesn’t despise them like some of his siblings. They were a pretty routine part of his childhood, so he is fairly desensitized to the glitz and glam. He is a pro at dealing with insufferable socialites and tends to be on damage control for his siblings.

Duke: At first the idea of attending rich people parties caused him a lot of anxiety, but after his first one, he came to love them much like Dick. Rich people are so fucking strange. It’s like getting to go to the zoo but the animals are trying to share their opinion on social reform with you. Absolutely bonkers. 10/10 entertainment.

Damian: Would rather have to fight Condiment King. There are too many people patronizing him. There are too many opportunities for enemies to hide in plain sight and strike when he and his family are defenseless. There are too many smells and lights and his clothes itch and his father insists on humiliating himself and besmirching their family’s name. The only good part of the night is when Todd inevitably beats the snot out of some imbecile and is dragged off like the hooligan he is.

Stephanie: Has a lot of fun with them. She is not Bruce’s kid, but sometimes tags along as one of his kids plus one (Tim or Cass, take your pick. I am partial to StephCass because gay, but it really doesn’t matter). She and Cass have an epic shopping spree before each event getting new shoes and clothes. The day of, they pamper themselves with hair, makeup, and nail appointments at exclusive spas. They spend way too much time taking pictures of themselves and each other to post to social media. It’s like prom, but even better because she is no longer an awkward teenager. She loves people-watching with Dick and Duke and dances the night away with Cass.

this is a dumb idea with no scientific basis, but since duke’s powers are light based, what if all his life, the light on the screen popped out to him? like until he was aware he’s a metahuman, every thing he watched appeared visually enhanced somehow, and he just thought that’s how it looked.

it would be funny if duke left the theater with friends after a movie, and they would complain about the cheap effects but duke is like, “What??? It looked fine to me. The storyline could’ve been way better though :/“

#duke thomas #the signal #batfam #batfamily #duke thomas headcanon #i like the idea that many small things made duke slightly not normal #he just had no idea otherwise

As a Batfam fan I love reading AU's and canon divergence fics. Like Reverse Robins or Jason never dies, in which the members of the family act and behave different than their canon counterpart because of their age, maturity, death experiences etc. So in a way, it feels refreshing to read and so different.

But one thing I don't like in these fics is the excluding of Duke Thomas. Because in every single fic I read (no matter age or experience) he has the same back story and the same experience.

And we don't see this in other members. For example; Damian being raised by Bruce and acting like a kid, Jason never dying and getting to grow up with a loving family, Dick being raised as a Talon, Tim being Catlad, Stephanie taking the mantle of Red Hood and so on...

But with Duke it's all the same.

I mean, I'd be pretty interested in reading a fic where Duke was raised by his villain father and because of that, having a different personality all together.

Imagine him being arrogant of his powers (rightfully so), him growing so non-involded with humans, that he sees them as merely an ant. Duke being cold and unintentionally impulsive because most things are not able to hurt him. Him being bored of the daily life of a human, so he seeks thrill in other (dangerous) activities. Him intentionally being intimidating and cryptic.

Or him being the exact opposite. Feeling so reclused and alienated and othered, that he is scared to go outside. Scared to interact with other people, being paranoid, thinking every time he speaks with someone they can tell that something's not right with him. Imagine him being scared to go out at daytime, because his father is looking for him.

There are so many interesting ideas and possibilities for Duke. And it's so under utilized in the fandom that it feels like a missed opportunity.

And I'd love to read fics like this if you guys have any recs.

Also, I'd love to read about your ideas of Duke Thomas like these, if you have one.

Thought of the day: it's been a while, I have been busy with college and work and stuff BUT today I had a break and I am at my sister's and just... I had this thought about taking ANY of the batboys to a normal house and how that would blow their mind.

SO THINK THIS: Jason Todd cooking with one of your favorite relatives, Dick setting the table, Tim in the corner playing hay day, damian talking with your relatives and Duke just... he is watching TV and he is so happy to be normal again

How do you think the batfam and co. (Selina, Clark, Diana) take their coffee? - 🌻

I DONT KNOW COFFEE IVE ONLY EVER DRANK IT ONCE AND THAT WAS LAST MONTH POOKIE. FOR THE FIRST TIME TOO MIND YOU

Tim: obviously strong as FUCK. That shit will keep you up for DAYS. DAYS. Has been dubbed the king of espressos by local cafes at this point. First time barista’s quake in fear when they get his order I feel.

Cass: she gives vibes that she’d like her coffee bitter as fuck but imagine how funny it is one day someone else takes a sip and it’s the sweetest shit you ever drank. Enough to give you cavities with one sip.

Steph: she gives me the vibes of someone who would drink a latte, honestly. Maybe with caramel or vanilla syrup, too. She channels the bitterness of that drink into whatever the fuck chaos she wants to cause that day.

Clark: cappuccino 4 lifer this man is. You can’t tell me otherwise. He’d die before he drinks any bitter shit. Gives Steph bombastic side eye the first time they might’ve gotten their orders together.

Diana: this cafe in my hometown has a spiced brown sugar cold brew as part of their seasonal special and I can see her drinking that tbh

Selina: she gives iced latte with mocha syrup honestly

Bruce: black like his emo ass soul /j

In all seriousness Bruce seems like a secret die hard pumpkin spice latte fan

Duke: he tried coffee once and probably hated it (like me). Probably tried a cold brew maybe, white chocolate syrup and hated that shit with a passion.

Jason: the only thing that calls for him is an americano honestly. Maybe with hazelnut syrup or smthn

Dick: he SCREAMS cookies n cream frappe

Damian: surprisingly enough probably also gets an espresso but because of Tim he makes the barista’s have a trauma response

Alfred: only drinks coffee when he’s desperate. He doesn’t give the type to be picky but I can see him drinking a latte when he’s desperate for a bitter wake up call.

As someone that came from a family where older siblings regularly pick up and throw younger siblings around(always onto something soft). I'd like to request batfam boys taking turns tossing eachother or the older boys playing catch with Damian as the ball.

Batboys

Headcanons

- I could definitely see the boys throwing each other around, Damian despises when they pick him up and throw him cuz hes so tiny.

- If its not Damian its Tim or Duke, who put up with it more than Damian will. At some Point I think Damian just comes to accept that this is how the batfam bonds. Its either this, fighting crime, or swinging from the chandelier which Alfred does not want them to do.

- Dick does all kinds of crazy flips and twists when he’s the one being thrown around, because why not. He makes a real show out of it too, which means he ends up doing flips and summersaults so much the others can’t catch him, so they just move on to throwing someone else around.

- They can’t throw Jason around, mans it too heavy to be chucked around, so he just uses his weight to flop down on the floor when they try to pick him up.

- Tim curls up in a tight ball when he’s the one being thrown around, he finds it quite fun actually. Plus, it’s good for bonding if you ask him. He makes sure to do rolls when he gets thrown onto something soft, and then come at whoever threw him with a vengeance.

- Duke is so surprised when he gets picked up one day and just chucked onto the couch from across the room, when he looks around in confusion Dick just shrugs and says that’s how they bond here.

- Damian wouldn’t accept being thrown around like I said earlier, that is unless he’s bribed to let them do it. He’s still not happy about it, but he lets them, he might also secretly like it because it means he gets to be held by his siblings.

[ 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 ]

𝐓𝐖: none

dick:

HES ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE "omg im SOO bad for that" but it's something tame like sleeping in an hour later than normal??

he's not super strict with his sleep schedule or anything but as he's grown older he's more used to routine of being a detective

so sleeping in isn't something he can do all that often :[

that and he sleeps really light and lives in the city so any time he can get somewhere peaceful to rest where there arent a bunch of outside noises he sleeps in

jason:

jason is the polar opposite of dick.

he's like "oh i mean its not that bad or anything" even though he's telling you about how he eats entire tubs of ice cream after missions instead of actually feeding himself

usually by the time a mission is over his blood sugar is really low and he doesnt have enough energy to order food

and its not like he has premade stuff at every safehouse he goes to cause the fridges are really just for over bake pizzas and beer if he wants some and bodies

he just really likes ice cream though so its not really a surprise

sometime's he'll watch musicals WHILE eating the tub of ice cream

he calls it self care (it is most definitely not)

duke:

quentin tarintino films.

he likes to pretend that hes like a normal film fan who doesnt watch shit a thousand times but he does

he watches them multiple times and cant get sick of them

theyre almost kind of like comfort films?? like he views them escapism even though most of the shit in them is stuff he sees everyday

idk but he likes them a lot. that and it gives him something to talk to jason about becuase theyre both film nerds

damian:

he likes to pretend that he doesn't enjoy things like everyone else on the planet but he tears up snacks in the middle of the night

its not even like normal amounts of snacks either

everyone knows bruce's loaded so he can provide enough to satiate all of his kids' late night snacking needs but damian tears through stuff like goldish, cheeze-its, and anything cracker-y that you can fit in your mouth easily

its so bad that every time alfred restocks the pantry he has to end up storing things away and gradually refiling them over the week because damian eats them so fast

tim had been witness to many of his late night feasts but he's bound to a mutual vow of silence cause of his bad habits

tim:

he has a problem with staying up really late and ordering takeout multiple times out of the week

he's literally the heir to wayne enterprises so its not like he cant afford it, but it means that he ends up not really taking care of himself

tim survives off of takeout, ramen, and coffee and no one knows how he's still alive

him and damian have a mutual agreement not to snitch on each other since they usually find themselves both in the kitchen at 3 AM making coffee and scouring the pantry for cheese crackers (respectively)

[ 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 :] ]

Since Cass' metabolism is canonically off the charts and Duke has photokinetic powers, sitting next to them should be like sitting next to a bonfire. Meanwhile, Jason should be about as cold as an icebox.

So the ideal way to sit is Jason hanging out on the couch at one end of the room and Cass and Duke chilling at the other end of the room together with everyone else sitting at the centre without the temperature extreme getting to them.

This works out great for Jason because he doesn't want to hang out with any of them anyways and for Cass and Duke as well since he's literally just some guy to them.

#DC please let Cass and Duke be the hater siblings they would be soo good at it #duke thomas headcanon #cassandra cain headcanon #jason todd headcanon

hc that duke is hilarious

guy definitely has a master's degree in comedic timing. knows how to take advantage of that beat before the punchline. he can quote vines and does so. dick and jason join in. damian covers his ears.

two: the comedic opportunity of his metabilities??? are you kidding me? fr he's a glowstick. light up sketchers. "girl it's FATAL." he absolutely revamped the "yall ugly" vine by bamfing shadows and then going invisible. it's fact.

i just love the idea of him using humor to make people smile. he really is a little sunshine. sweetheart and snark all in one what a guy

Who do you think was the best Robin? On a similar note, who's the best sibling?

i think all of the robins have their own strengths that make them the best in their own ways (its duke). they're all equally flawed and gifted in their own ways, but they're human so none of them are perfect (duke is tho). its kind of the same with them as siblings. i hate them all equally <3 (except for duke i could never hate duke).

Ok but listen Im a music lover so my faves have to be music lovers too and Duke Thomas 100% writes his own songs! He understands, unlike Jason’s stupid ass, that music is a natural extension of poetry! And Jason is WRONG there is not a single poem that couldn’t be enhanced by a beautiful beat, that couldn’t be properly made into a good song, Jason’s a hater and annoying stfu right now.

Jason is slamming his own head into a wall whenever he has to have this discussion and has accepted that Duke will never let him win, therefore he discusses literature and poetry with Duke but always seems to have something to do right now at this very second that can’t wait no seriously please let him leave when Duke gets that look in his eyes.

#now.#as for who i agree with?#well.#Im on a Duke loving kick so unfortunately I cannot answer honestly at this time #Anyways #Duke singing at a Wayne gala?#yeah #Duke Thomas #the signal dc #Duke Thomas headcanon
