hello please may i request the batboys proposing to their s/o 🥺 those marriage hcs were real cute and they just got me thinking u know. thank u 🖤

How The Batfam Prosposes To Their S/O HC

ofc! thank you! check out the marriage hc HERE! this req is beyond adorable and i tried to live up to the cuteness 🥰

Dick Grayson:

- dick would be SO EXTRA dude

- he'd get all your loved ones, family, friends etc and bundle up his whole family and have them waiting to suprise you

- he seems like a proposing on your anniversary so you don't expect it guys

- if you're down for slightly public stuff he'd take you to a theme park like disneyland and you'd both spend the day with your loved ones watching tim and dami bicker over the fastest way to get to the most rides or your best friend totally simping over jason and him flirting like a motherfucker, hand in hand with dick, just happy that there's finally a perfect day where everyone is together

- imagine going up on a huge rollercoaster and dick whispering all his favorite moments with you as the cart ticks up a massive hill

- then right before the drop, dick turns to you, "what i'm really asking is: marry me y/n" and the ride drops, you screaming yes as you zoom down the massive hill and do loop de loops, your happy tears flying all over the place

- the picture they take when you drop shows you cry-screaming while dick grins like an idiot

- getting off the ride dick's brothers and your loved ones are bouncing off the walls "WHAT DID YOU SAY" y/b/f screeched as soon as you come out from the ride

- with one hand you held up the printed picture of you screaming with "she said yes!" written on the top and with the other hand you held up a brand new, gorgeous ring siting snuggly on your finger

- the rest of the day is spent hand in hand with dick, you keep walking around saying "look how pretty my ring looks next to this!" or "WAIT LET ME TAKE A PICTURE WITH MY HAND OUT" and you both get tons of adorable candid photos with various disneyland/theme parks places and items that you'll be treasuring forever

Jason Todd:

- texting jason that your boss suprisingly let your team off work a couple hours early you both made plans to meet at home for dinner together and a night in, a rarity recently with how busy you were finishing school and having a job while he had red hood duties

- coming back to your shared home there were rose petals trailing you into your bedroom, and a huge paper screen blocking you from seeing the kitchen or your dining room, but you wanted to let jason have his fun so you followed the petals

- on your bed was the outfit that makes you feel like a hot bitch and a note saying "hey angel, put this on then open the laptop" and you complied

- as soon as you put in your login a video titled "to the love of my life" which was pretty sappy for jason, but you clicked anyway

- a roughly edited video shows jason sitting down, his cheeks slightly tear stained as he says "y/n i've loved you with everything and more, more than i ever knew was possible. you taught me i deserved to be loved and you showed me how to live life to the fullest" as he continued you felt tears start to brim, jason was always more of an actions guy so these words meant everything to you

- the video was so intensely personal it had you openly crying at the end when jason smiled at the camera "hey love, you're probably crying right now - i know that because i love you beautiful. so, care to come back outside now?" the video ended and you got up, realizing what was about to happen

- at the end of your hallway was jason, dressed in a suit, his cheeks stained with tears like yours, holding out his hand for you

- trying not to fall apart you stumbled into his embrace while he kissed your head, pushing you back slightly to get on one knee with a cheesy grin

- "i didn't think i'd ever get to do this, you know i always think in the negative, but with you everything is good. so be my good, forever. be my better half, my favorite thing, my home, my girl, forever. marry me y/n" unable to speak through all the flooding emotions you just nodded, letting out an excited squeak as jason grabbed your hand, sliding a ring on the finger

- leading you into the dining room jason had whipped out his expert chef skills and made an amazing dinner, and the two of you spent the night reminiscing on old memories, hoping for amazing future moments, and just relaxing in each other's embrace

Tim Drake:

- tim is not smooth let's be real, and when you've been with him for all those years he physically cannot keep a secret from you so you knew something was up when he actually set aside 5 hours for a date night, uninterrupted

- it took about 3 tries to get dick to break and admit tim was planning on proposing that night, you expected it soon, neither of you were big on suprise public moments and were super open in communicating and had both agreed that this year was the best to finally get engaged, tim always wanted to make you feel safe and this would be no different so you weren't worried

- taking careful notice to apply only waterproof mascara you were ready for a tear filled night with the love of your life

- during the fancy dinner you were jittery and excited waiting for a ring in your pasta or a note under your napkin, but nothing, and tim was acting normal as ever, making you think he'd aborted the mission

- it was always fun having a private dinner with tim, he loved to rent out the roof of gotham building and gettting a private dinner served on top of the world, making you feel like the only person in the world

- as you finished cracking jokes, telling stories, and overall just loving each other's presence you got up and went to head down when tim grabbed your hand, pulling you into a hug whispering "ready for a little suprise my love?" while your breath caught in your chest as almost on cue a helicopter landed on the other side of the top of the building

- wind whipping around tim kept your hand in his, helping you in and securing you, putting on your headset and giving your cheek a quick peck

- as the helicopter took off you saw gotham from god's eye view, watching as it got smaller, melting into the last few rays of sunlight, tim gave your hand a squeeze as he said "the view's almost as pretty as you y'know" with your favorite cheesy grin

- as the helicopter turned giving you a perfect view of the setting sun tim began his speech, pulling your hands into his, "y/n through every up and down you've been there, i always thought i wasn't wanted until i met you and i can never repay you for everything you've taught me, i'd give you the world if i could, but i think the next best thing is giving you me. in every moment i promise to be yours, your sidekick, your partner in crime, your secret keeper, and your lover. i will always be yours, no matter what. and tonight i'm asking you to be mine, will you marry me y/n?"

- you nodded vigorously as tim pulled out a velvet box, opening to take out a beautiful ring, slipping it on your finger while you pushed away tears

- the helicopter dropped you both off outside of gotham at one of jason's safe houses that tim had transformed into a little one night home, and it was far enough outside of gotham that you could see the stars, laying on the roof as tim listed off various constellations and you both whispered about your future together, hand in hand with your other half for the rest of your life

Damian Wayne:

- when damian told dick his plan to just ask you to marry him during patrol he got a whole lecture about the importance of making it a memorable moment and blah blah blah so damian really wanted to live up to this "life changing moment" where he's not even marrying you just asking you as if after all these years you'd suddenly say no

- so that's how you ended up packed into one of bruce's cars with titus and damiwn driving to a supposedly beautiful hiking trail

- you were genuinely concerned for damians mental health because every time there was traffic or titus needing a rest stop he looked like he was going to burst a blood vessel

- once there the hike was serene, the three of you trekking up a beautiful mountain surrounded by the fresh air

- during a particularly sweaty patch you lazily took off your shirt, hoping to get a little cooler, you normally trained in a sports bra and leggings anyway so it wasn't weird until damian refused to take his shirt off too. as you and titus sprinted forwards you teased dami "love bird i can see you sweating cmon!" but he continued to refuse and you let it go

- you'd both slowed down to a walking pace as you rounded to the top of the mountain, the view was beyond beautiful and you plopped down on the crest of the mountain, using damians lap as a pillow while titus sprawled across the both of you

- as damian mindlessly played with your hair, lightly tugging it as he stayed deep in thought you took a moment to really appriciate your boyfriend

- he's eyes shone and his jawline was slightly hardened in a way that shows he was busy in thought, your eyes traced down from his perfect lips to his neck, where you noticed a thin white string hanging around his neck slipping down behind his shirt. without thinking, and before dami could react, you tugged the string out of his shirt, a golden band with a perfect diamond met your eyes before damian could stop you from seeing it

- "d-damian is that what i think it is" you whispered, sitting up to face him while he blushed

- "beloved, i was trying to think of the words to say but you're always three steps ahead of me aren't you" he whispered, untying the string with ease and slipping the ring off of the string, he stared at the ring unable to make eye contact with you "everything i do is for you my love, and though i don't quite understand why cementing it in the eyes of a government is important, if it means i can love you for my entire life i will do anything. so please my love, my best friend, my favorite girl, marry me beloved" he finished, swallowing harshly to fight back the rogue feeling to cry

- you did not hold back. letting tears slip out while he put the ring on your finger you flung yourself into his arms and he relaxed in your embrace, titus beginning to lick your face clearing the tears while you giggled, truly on top of the world with damian, forever and always

a/n: these all got so sappy ahcowkfjr i'm such a fluff monster omg... anyways! i tried to keep them fun and interesting but i definitely air with damian on the side of thinking proposals are slightly overhyped and as an anxious bean i already get scared at the idea of everyone looking at you no matter how in love you are haha so all the proposals were kinda personal i hope that's okay lolzzz anywho! love you hope you enjoyed!

Just hear me out

I've been meaning to rewatch Treasure Planet ever since I saw the lovely art that @jaykore (which y'all should check it btw) drew of Jim Hawkins but I haven't had the time

I finally did have time yesterday to rewatch it but since I usually watch it in Spanish the songs are different from that of the English one, they're not translated literally so the meaning kinda of gets a little lost but it's still there, anywhores since I normally watch it in Spanish I didn't realize I was "missing out" in a way because the original is in English which I guess has more depth to it? not sure how to put it

And the song I'm Still Here reminded me a lot of Jason Todd. I felt like it was very fitting, now I don't know if other people have talked about it before or if they've thought about it but I'm just putting it out there just in case. And now that I think about it the Spanish translation can also be interpreted the same way but I wanna say it gives a different feeling than in English somehow (at least for me) but I'm going to be talking about the English one

I am a question to the world

not and answer to be Heard

or a moment that's held in your arms

and what do you think you'd ever say

I won't listen anyway

you don't know me

and I'll never be what you want me to be

The first verse I wanna say that (relating to) Jason I this part would be young Robin at this point, in the sense that he was questioning many things all while not having any answers from any people. You know how Jason wanted to actually punish the criminals instead of simply throwing them in jail so that they wouldn't commit the same crime over and over again. And how Jason sometimes wanted to do justice by his own hands rather than wait for the corrupt system to take it's course leading to him not listening to Batman's orders and then leading to part where it says "you don't know me and I'll never be what you want me to be" because that's what Jason actually feels. He feels as if Bruce will never understand because of his high morals and because of those same high morals Jason feels like he's never going to be enough for Bruce or how Bruce had "everything" in live compared to him

I'm a boy no, I'm a man

You can't take me and throw me away

And how can you learn what's never shown

Yeah you stand here on your own

They don't know me

Cause I'm not here

In verse 2 Jason would be older? I think, 'cause you know how he's from Crime Alley he's had to grow up really quickly, from having to help his mother to having to survive living on the streets, he would consider himself no longer a child but a man. And how he feels betrayed that Bruce did avenged him after the Joker killed/murdered him and simply "replaced" him with another kid smarter and better than him, yet again making him feel like he's not enough. The Batfam don't really know him nor really try to see pass the first year of him being Red Hood, all they see is a crazy psychopath who wants revenge and the death of many people, they don't see that Jason is still very much Jason but at the same time he's also very different from the boy who died in the explosion. Dick didn't really pay attention to him because he was to busy being pissed at Bruce to be an older brother to Jason even though he tried his best to live up to the mantle, Tim (I feel has the most understanding than most of the Batfam) was almost killed by Jason and have a rocky relationship, Damian let's just say not the best and leave it at that for now. I don't know enough about Cass or Steph to have a say in it but I feel like Babs somewhat understands where Jay is coming from since she was also a victim of the Joker. And I have no idea about Duke since I have read any comics in a while

And I want a moment to be real

Wanna touch things I don't feel

We want to hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change

They're the ones that stay the same

They don't know me

Cause I'm not here

Now the chorus I had a bit of trouble trying to put into words mostly because there's so much emotion to be interpreted, Jason always puts a hard mask on so that he doesn't get hurt by the people he loves and cares about but those same people have let him down more often than not, so I guess what I'm trying to say is he feels that every interaction has some sort of ultirermotive in a way. He so badly wants a loving caring family that trust him, he wants to belong and be loved in a healthy way. But how can he do that when there's some must suspicion and doubt with layers upon layers or trauma and angst. Bruce wants Jason to change his ways, wants him to be the boy he so much misses that he fails to see the grown man Jason's become, all the while not changing himself to accommodate others.

And you see the things they never see

All you wanted I could be

Now you know me and I'm not afraid

And I wanna tell you who I am

Can you help me be a man

They can't break me

As long as I know who I am

In verse 3 I want to say it could be Alfred in this since he seems to be the only to rightfully defend him without a second thought, Alfred sees Jason as the man he is today not the boy who died, not the madman he was but the present day Jason who's trying to be the best man he can, and Jason loves Alfred for who he is, he's the only one who Jason actually listens to even with all the selfdepracting things he does to himself. He wholeheartedly trust Alfred. And "They" being the batfam, can't break away from his goal. So long as he knows who he is and what's real and what's a hallucination he'll be able to do what he thinks is best for Gotham and the people who's life's have been lost or will be lost because of all the villians Batman refuses to take care of

They can't tell me who to be

Cause I'm not what they see

Yeah, the world is still sleeping

While I keep on dreaming for me

And their words are just whispers and lies

That I'll never believe

The bridge is Jason refusing to be like the rest of the bats, simply following orders to the T, him wanting to do what he thinks is best for Gotham and it's people for the smaller ones who aren't protected by Batman and Robin the ones who have been hurt by villians and avenged. And "They" being the Batfam again not seeing pass the old Jason and treating him like a wounded animal. He keeps trying to do the right thing, for the people for the ones whose lives have been lost by the hands of the Joker and will be lost if they don't put a stop to it permanently. "their words are just whispers and lies That I'll never believe" that could be Bruce trying to convince Jason that "we can fix this" all while Jason is like "You can't fix what's not broken" or "it's too late for that" and even though he wants to so badly believe what Bruce is saying is true he knows that's never going to happen because somewhere some god is playing and toying with his life like some sad sick joke that everything has to go to hell somehow. He feels like anything good he has in his life won't last since nothing has shown him to be the contrary which is why he has attachment issues and trust issues. So he already has that mentality that things just won't go his way and never will and that no one will ever pick him over someone else, that he's just a fuck up without a remedy and that'll always be the same because he's the [self proclaim] black sheep of the family.

I'll just leave that there....

The Hardest of Hearts

This is my first one shot I am making this a RobRae with Damian Wayne and Raven from Justice League vs. Teen Titans. Inspired by The Hardest of Hearts by Florence + the Machine

There is love in your body, but you can't hold it in It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts.

Damian Wayne was known for many things, being the grandson of Ra’s Al Ghul, being the son of Batman, being difficult and spoiled, being noble, being kind to animals, his cleverness, his looks, his ruthlessness. He was known most of all for having the hardest heart in the family, besides Bruce. When he was first put with the Teen Titans, he was sullen and angry that his father just shipped him away. He was volatile and brusque with everyone until he met her.

Raven was something he did not expect. She was aloof and brusque, but she was clever like him and quick-witted. She was dark and quiet and mysterious, and he longed to know more about her because she was the hardest to read. The feel of her in her mind was something that at first was unwelcome, however over time he came to long for that same gentle touch. Her scent was dark and warm like the incense he would burn in his room on stressful nights. She passed through a room like a shadow that encompassed all the crevices of his mind.

Raven was known for many things magic, being the daughter of Trigon, being a demon, being creepy, a witch, and a Satan worshipper (which was far from the truth), she was known for being introverted, cruel, mean, apathetic, and for being negative. She was known most of all for being the conscience of the team and having the hardest heart in the tower. When she first came to the Titans with the prophecy still over her head, scared, and alone, she was volatile and brusque with everyone, until she realized that she needed friends. Friends that would help her overcome her struggles and that she could love in place of the family she never had.

Robin was known for advanced weapons tactics, masterful command of missions, strategy, and his willingness to put others before themselves. As vicious as he was there were still signs of greatness within him that she admired. And, as much as she would never admit it, seeing him in all of his glory while he was fighting was quite the sight to see. He was graceful and stealthy and a force to be reckoned with. When she met him, he was mean to her, but she recognized that he was hiding behind his sarcasm. Damian was hiding behind Robin, the son of Bruce Wayne, and the grandson of Ra’s Al Ghul.

When she met Damian for the first time at the carnival, she was surprised to find someone much like herself. He was funny and smart and a fantastic dancer. Watching him dance was almost as entertaining as watching him fight. His grace and his balance were always perfect, never missing a beat. He even won her a prize.

They found themselves quite some time later, after the battle, after he convinced her to come home with the rest of the team, after she had met all of his brothers, and after she had come to know everything he hated about himself, together. Together alone in the tower, it was quiet, a rarity, and Damian was in his room practicing tai chi, while Raven was meditating in her own. She was keeping a sliver of her consciousness on him. The emotions he was radiating earlier screamed rage and hurt. She knew he would come to her when he wanted to.

She didn’t have to wait long. He came into her room about four hours later, his aura less angry red and slightly more of a calmer, though darker than what she would have liked, shade of green. He was carrying a tray of tea, jasmine by the scent, with lemon and sugar and shortbread cookies and raspberry jam, some of her favorites and some of his. She nodded her head at him, and he walked inside, placing the tray on her bed and sitting on it. She came down from where she was floating and sat beside him. Immediately his shoulders relaxed, moving closer to her and sitting by her side. He doctors the tea to her liking and passes her the cup. Thanking him with a small smile she takes the cup and takes a long drink. He makes his cup and leans against the pillows.

“Why is it that I can never seem to impress him?” He says quietly like he is scared she would push him away.

“You do, constantly. He has pride in you, but he has a hard time showing his emotions, you know that.” She responds calmly.

“Would it kill him to say something though?” he pouts, rare for him, “he says it to Grayson and Drake all the time. I’m the blood son but I get sent off here while they get taken on all the important missions.”

Raven laughed. If only he knew how much Bruce actually cared about him.

“What’s so funny, witch girl?” he snapped.

“He wants you to be happy and safe, Damian. That’s all he wants. He wants you to have friends and to be happy. He knows that that is an impossibility at school so he thinks you will find friends here.”

“Tch, I would make friends if I wanted them.” He groused. She saw right through him. He already thought of her as a friend and Jaime and even Garfield, when he wasn’t playing with Damian’s knives.

“You already have friends Damian. He is happy you have the team. He expects you to lead the Justice League one day.”

“Really? Well, I would expect nothing less from him.” Damian smirked. There he was. The love in his eyes that shone only for her and the cockiness that drew her further in. He leans into her side and she positions them that he is lying with his head on her stomach. She quickly works her hands into his thick black hair. He closes his eyes as she runs her hands softly through the locks humming a song that she heard once.

“What are you humming, habibti?” He asks. She blushes and the candles on her vanity ignite.

“A song by Florence + the Machine. I just started listening to her and I like her music, it’s very dark.”

“Sing to me, beloved. I love to hear your voice.” A declaration, something to treasure. So rarely do they openly declare their mutual feelings and established relationship in the open air, preferring instead to use gentle and subtle touches and looks and the shadow of night to show their love. She laughs.

“There is love in your body but you can't hold it in It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts”

He closed his eyes and breathed deeply enjoying the sound of her voice. She was a good singer, though most don’t know she has the talent. Something about music being invented by demons and that’s why it is an inherent thing for demons to be able to dance and sing well.

“The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts

There is love in your body but you can't get it out It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth Sticks to your tongue and shows on your face That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste”

The music may well have been speaking of them, two souls one and the same with the hardest of hearts that love has begun to soften and tame. Their nondescript shows of affection have prevented all but perhaps his father from knowing of their relationship.

“Darling heart, I loved you from the start But you'll never know what a fool I've been Darling heart, I loved you from the start But that's no excuse for the state I'm in

The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts

There is love in our bodies and it holds us together But pulls us apart when we're holding each other We all want something to hold in the night We don't care if it hurts or we're holding too tight

There is love in your body but you can't get it out It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste”

Neither one of them, despite their cleverness, had much of a way with loving words, a product of how they grew up he supposed. Though it never mattered to either one of them. He loved her despite the fact that there would be no drawn-out love declarations or public shows of affection. It made them both uncomfortable. He preferred this, sitting in her room with her as she sung or read. Together they were at peace and that meant more to him than any flashy show of shallow affection.

“Darling heart, I loved you from the start But you'll never know what a fool I've been Darling heart, I loved you from the start But that's no excuse for the state I'm in

The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts The hardest of hearts

My heart swells like a water at work Can't stop myself before it's too late Hold on to your heart 'Cause I'm coming to take it Hold on to your heart 'Cause I'm coming to break it

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on) The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on) The hardest of hearts (hold on)”

There was one thing the song got wrong though, he was never going to break her heart.
