I firmly believe that one of Damian’s biggest fears is getting older, not like late twenties older but fifties and sixties. I think he’s scared of turning grey, of getting too many lines on his face, having too much wisdom in his old eyes.
Because what if that happens and when he looks in the mirror he sees his grandfather?
ONE (1) PERSON JUST LIKED THIS REBLOG FROM FOREVER AGO AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE VALIDATED
I seriously thought this was such a funny joke, in retrospect I don't think a lot of the tumblr batman fandom knows who Fredric Wertham is, let alone what Seduction of the Innocence is and how influential it is to modern comics ESPECIALLY batman.

people underestimate how close tim and dick are and it is driving me NUTS
you get me oh my god,,, alighterwood and i talk about this ALL the time
like, i do love the dynamics between jason and damian and the rest of the bats!! do not get me wrong, i think they have lots of potential and the writers did us dirty in some cases. it's fun to explore them. however, tim and dick's brother relationship is so impactful to the entire story between them that it's insane no one talks about it more? or practically no one??
tim learned their identities through dick grayson, robin, not batman. he looks up to both of them but robin was his hero. when jason died and tim knew something needed to be done, he went to dick first above all else (technically, he went back to the circus). he trusted that nightwing (his robin) would be able to do something about it. he wasn't aware of just how deep dick and bruce's fight went but he knew who to go to about it. dick brought him back to the manor and tim became robin because of it. he was involved in tim's time as robin, he was the person that tim could go to about his insecurities, he was the one that tim went to about his relationship/family/friendship/life problems. he learned how to be the hero he is because of dick (and bruce, but this is about him and dick).
they were brothers before jason came back, before damian, before tim even met steph, etc. when tim was, in fact, going a little crazy (even if he was RIGHT, that doesn't mean he wasn't losing his mind at least a little bit, Tim Stans) about bruce being alive, dick was WORRIED about him!! because that's his brother!! he didn't threaten to send tim to arkham, he wasn't even the one who planned to give damian robin!! dick picked up the batman mantle because he felt there was no other choice (do not get me started on how gotham does not actually need BATMAN, but his spirit) and with that came the responsibility of looking after BOTH of his brothers. brothers. not children. dick can do a lot of things but he is not infallible. it was a shitty situation and it does not soley reside on his shoulders. tim had a right to feel hurt that no one was listening to him, but... y'all. he dropped out of school, he was kind of going off the deep end with how many other people died in his life around that time (his BEST FRIENDS) so of course dick was like "hey dude..."
tim is the closest to dick in the family, he looks up to dick as if he IS infallible in a lot of ways. that's his BIG BROTHER and also his personal hero. his favorite person. and dick cares about him just as much
can you tell alighterwood and i have such strong feelings about this?
Duke to the other batkids: gather round children and let me tell you about what it’s like to have a middle class upbringing with parents who love you and like each other
I made myself a prompt list in order to make several drawings of him and immediately lost it so I am now floundering on what to do with him 😔 My goal is to make maybe two or three more for him before the end of the year Fingers crossed!
