i’ve been thinking more about Damian no longer being Robin, and the more thought i put into it, the more i love the idea
because yes, it does give Damian more character depth! it makes sense that the only person that was “destined” to be robin, quit.
and i could go on about this for days, but i actually had these thoughts because i was thinking of how normal Damian’s life becomes, especially compared to everyone else in the batfam.
like, imagine what breakfast is like on a Tuesday morning, where you have everyone exhausted because, just last night there was a massive rouge attack and it was all hands on deck, so now everyone is basically sleeping while eating their breakfast.
and then Damian walks in, fully rested and ready for the day as he sits in his spot, quietly eating. it’s silent for a moment before Damian, not being able to NOT be a little bit of a rage baiter, goes,
“so. Rough night, huh?”
silence rings through the room, all noises seemingly cut off from the world as everyone slowly turn to look at him. At Damian, who was sitting up straight, no eye bags to be seen, freshly showered and clearly wide awake.
like a switch, everyone immediately starts complaining, Dick’s eye twitches as Jason grips his fork with a bit too much intention, and Duke pretends to not notice how Tim and Steph immediately starts planning on Damian’s downfall.
Only Cass, Bruce, and Alfred notice the small smile on Damian’s face as he gets up and announces his departure to class.
(However, Bruce does catch the side eye Alfred gives him whenever Damian specifies the class hes going to, which makes him turn away because, no he refuses to deal with the whole “You’re Father and his Father were all Doctors, Master Bruce”)
