!!! Damian gets into a fight with a sorcerer when he's out with the Batfam and he gets thrown across time and space, de-aging all the while, and he finally comes to a forceful stop when some lab in another dimension yanks him from the endless spiral out of control. By the time he lands, he's a baby, can barely stand on his own two feet, but retains most if not all of his memory. He's soon found by a pair of young adults, who decide to take him in until they can figure out who and where his parents are or what arrangements can be made to take care of him if there aren't any.
He quickly learns a number of things:
This is not his universe.
Batman does not exist in this plane.
His current guardians' names are Valerie and Danny.
They are NOT a couple despite acting like one. (Damian isn't going to question it, it reminds him far too much of many of his father and brothers' romances.)
He actually... kinda likes it here? (Not that he'd ever admit that.)
Meanwhile Danny and Valerie are co-parenting the shit out of this adorable little goober they found. Valerie swears she's going to go back to that nasty lab and kick each and every one of their asses. After all, they must have something to do with this! Danny has gotten so attached he holds Damian for a solid half an hour before he has to go to class/work. (It's not separation anxiety, he swears!)
Since Damian has a lot of memories, he knows how to do a lot of things but is trying to readjust with his new size and strength. It's still going, if very roughly. Occasionally he'll try to write something out to them, but it just comes out as doodles and Valerie and Danny think it's the cutest shit ever.
They hang every. single. one. on the refrigerator door.
Damian is much less amused by this. He could do far better pieces if he were just! Back! To! NORMAL!!!
Oh yeah, and the Batfam are really, really worried. And honestly a little terrified once the sorcerer tells them more about the spell they used on Damian. But hey! Damian is being well-taken care of and that's all that matters.
(Also someone breaks into their apartment once and Danny absolutely shivs the guy and it's in that moment that Damian accepts his new, unconventional family.)

Just saw some posts about how all the recent irritating changes at tumblr were made for the purpose of chasing growth.
And all i can say is, there's something kinda beautifully ironic about the possibility of tumblr's eventual downfall being due to their endless need for Biggering driving the natural wildlife away.

Bruce is the only member of the batfam that has no tolerance for spice. Dick grew up in a travelling circus, he has had food from all over the world. Jason grew up on the street, he ate what he could get. Tim's parents went all around the world, and had food and recipes from all around the world, whenever they were home Janet would make exotic meals. Damian grew up with Talia, he grew up on middle eastern food. But Bruce? He grew up on Alfred's British ass cooking, he thinks pepper has 'a little kick'.

i think part of what Gets me abt metalocalypse is how clearly the people making it really love metal music, like i've mostly seen it in extras and non-show material (skwisgaar guitar lessons, charles on the phone talking abt vintage guitars, defense of speed guitar in the comics) but then of course like. all the music for the show whips ass as genuine metal songs of their own accord, they put the effort in on music videos & visuals, it all just rings true with this genuine passionate love of the genre and i truly don't think i'd be half as interested without that beating heart at the core of it.

MXTX MC conflicts go:
Yi City: my boyfriend thinks I am a prolific murderer and specifically murdered a bunch of people his bff loves to get back at him. also that I tricked him into doing murders with me, for enrichment. I did all those things but did not anticipate having a feeling about his feelings.
Scum Villain: my boyfriend thinks I want to kill him but I don't.
MDZS: my boyfriend thinks I hate him but I don't.
TGCF: my boyfriend doesn't know I exist but I'm worried that once he finds out he's going to find my eyepatch ugly and my cavern of effigies offputting.
