Do you ever think that Damian Wayne would get upset about how his siblings were treated differently than his. Or how he felt when eventually all his siblings left and he was the only child in a toxic household. Because I do. Constantly.
Try not to think about how after dick moved away and the only way Damian would hear about his life is through the news.
Damian: father why is it I find out Grayson was attacked by the news.
Bruce: huh. Oh yeah, you know how people are with ransoms.
Damian: yes I am aware. But why is it that I didnāt know until the news covered the story.
Bruce: dick is busy Damian. Heās an adult, besides he wasnāt hurt.
But in reality Damian is pissed. Why wouldnāt dick just use the distress signal that all the kids have. Why is it that dick didnāt find him important enough to let him know whatās going on.
Another instance would be Jason. Who comes and goes as he pleases. But as someone Damian had know his whole life. While he might not have been in it the entire time. To Damian he was still there.
Jason: alright brat Iām out of here
Damian: youāre leaving again. I expected you to stay a few moments longer.
Jason: yeah well. I got shit to do. Besides you never wanna hang out anyway. So why does it matter.
Damian: I suppose it doesnāt. Goodbye Todd
Itās not okay. Damian was excited for Toddās return, and suddenly he was gone. Perhaps it was his fault, he has things to do such as school or patrols, but all those things were out of his control. Todd knew his schedule it hadnāt changed since Damian arrived at Wayne manor.
Try not to think about how Tim was the one who spent the most time with him, or how Tim was the one who was always the first one there for Damian. While the two had a rocky start they lived together. Two boys with a practically absent father living in a huge mansion.
Alfred: master Damian what are you doing?
Damian: (carrying a popcorn bucket and stack of movies) hmm. Oh apologies I didnāt realize you were still here.
Alfred: I am I do not leave for another half hour. Now again what are you doing?
Damian: well if you must know Timothy and I have a scheduled movie night.
Alfred: apologies master Damian for intruding but what is it you two do during these movie night. (Heās just making sure they donāt break anything)
Damian: well we complied a list of some of the most popular movies, and critic them based off of realism.
Alfred: well i regret to inform you that master Timothy is quite busy tonight. After moving out and all.
Damian: you are correct, I forget that drake takes an entire week to do simple things. Nonetheless I will contact him to remind him of course.
When Damian calls Tim itās short. Of course heās asked if he would show up for the movie night Damian had grown to enjoy, Tim only response is he canāt. Heās to busy with work and unpacking. Unfortunately it seemed that Tim had completely forgotten about their movies nights cause they never seem to happen anymore.
Duke was different. By the time he moved it Damian was used to them leaving so he didnāt make an effort. Of course he was respectful and tried to involve him.
Duke: hey Iām going to the movies with a few friends, wanna come with?
Damian: thank you but no. Iād rather not go out tonight.
Duke: okay Iām leaving in ten so let me know if you change your mind.
Of course Damian wanted to go. Just not with Dukeās friends, he doesnāt know them, they donāt know him. So in his head why would he go if he has no other connection with them besides duke.
Then there was Stephany. Who while Damian doesnt truly hang out with he still enjoys being around others. Besides other than duke she was there the most but they never had a true relationship.
Steph: so basically she completely ignored me, which was already a bad idea.
Duke: you were literally about to turn her in.
So basically try not to think about how Damian is always the one left out, ignored, forgotten, or even how he forces himself to be those things just so others wonāt do it to him. Maybe thatās why he has so many animals. Animals donāt know that your siblings are excluding you, animals are loyal. It seems that the only people that want to be around him are animals.
