(My headcannon on the BatFam's poison resistance)

Jason and Damian are playing a game where they test each others resistance to poisons while the others make bets.

Dick: So we're all in agreement about Damian winning? Jason: No loyalty. Duke: I bet on you Jason Jason: Then you're gonna lose lol.

While they're talking Bruce just... mixes all of them together and downs the concoction.

Bruce: I've had vodka stronger than this.

Everyone is horrified except Alfred, who watched Bruce do this a hundred times when he first finished his training as a 'party trick' and already placed his bet on Bruce.

he has a good smell

The thing I love about the Duke & Robby conversation is that Duke gave a piece of himself, told something about himself that may have changed Robby's view of him, and made him vulnerable. It wasn't a monologue or questioning it was a dialogue. Duke gave something from himself so Robby can feel more at ease to say what worries him.

Are They Possessive? 

Featuring: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Duke Thomas, Bruce Wayne

Dick Grayson

He is a little possessive but not in an upfront, aggressive sort of way. He’s subtle about it. Truthfully, he has all the trust in the world in you, and he doesn’t get insecure when other people flirt with you. You’re attractive and he knows that and loves to show that fact off whenever he can. That being said, he does have a small possessive streak, but it never comes out in aggressive shows of ownership. No glaring at anyone, no snide comments or huffing or jealous looks. Dick is just…calm and easy about it. His hand on your lower back as you walk beside him, or your hand in his. If he has to leave your side for anything he always presses a kiss to your cheek or your temple, smiling softly against your skin and giving you a flirty wink before walking off. “Be right back, sweetheart.” He’s a touchy sort of guy and that’s usually enough to ease any sort of possessive streak he has. An arm around your shoulders or waist. Coming up behind you, arms wrapping around your waist and his chin on your shoulder while you’re having a conversation with someone. Whispering a soft little joke in your ear, making you laugh and playfully swat him away. It’s just easy with him. There’s no jealousy or insecurity, just a soft, physical assurance that he’s yours and you’re his.

Jason Todd

He definitely has a possessive streak. He’s not against glaring at people who approach you in public or sliding his arm around you with a pointed look at whoever has your attention. He’s not overly aggressive about it, of course. Only if he can tell you’re uncomfortable and whoever it is isn’t taking any hints. He likes to keep you close; an arm around your waist or his hand on your hip whenever he can. He’ll only leave your side if he absolutely has to, and if he knows there’s eyes on you at that time he’ll kiss you senseless, uncaring about who’s gonna see. He leaves you flushed and a little breathless, a smug smirk on his lips as he makes direct eye contact with whoever thought they had a chance in hell with you. He’s not opposed to staking his claim in front of people, even if it means coming across as a little territorial and touchy. It’s not because he doesn’t trust you, it’s more so because he’s always a little worried you might decide you want someone better than him. And yeah, maybe he’ll suck a mark or two onto your neck that are just a bit too high to hide. You’ll huff at him and he’ll shrug, grinning smugly at you as he assures you that, “You look good with ‘em on you.” 

Tim Drake

He doesn’t think he’s possessive until he starts dating you. But oh man, he is. He’s not subtle about it but he’s also not aggressive about it. It’s not really something he’s even consciously aware of half the time. Sometimes someone will approach you when you’re both out on a date or running errands together and start chatting you up and the second Tim clocks that this stranger is flirting with you, he locks in. His arm around you with a sweet, “Hey, baby, you ready to get going?” and then he makes a show of looking the stranger up and down, unimpressed. You can see that possessive look on his face a mile away, though, and you just chuckle softly and press a kiss to his cheek. Easy. Assuring. It soothes Tim a little bit, but he’s always a little hyper aware of any sets of eyes that might land on you for longer than he’d like for the rest of the day. He likes to hold your hand anytime you two go out together, and he’s always watching you from across the room at parties or galas or anything else that involves a big crowd. He just worries, really, because he knows how people can be and how sometimes kind rejections aren’t taken well, so he’s always keeping an eye on you when strangers approach you to shoot their shot. That being said, he absolutely kisses you with a ferocity he doesn’t usually possess when you’re finally alone. In his head he’s dragging a moan out of you for every set of eyes he counted on you and then doubling it just to remind you and himself exactly who you always go home with at the end of every day.

Duke Thomas

He’s not possessive at all, actually. He doesn’t mind when people approach you or flirt with you because he knows you’ll reject them and because he knows it's just life. Sometimes people flirt with your partner. It’s nothing to get in your head about when you have a healthy and strong relationship like the two of you do. He still lounges with an arm around your shoulders not because he’s staking a claim, but because you just fit so naturally there and he knows everyone else can see that. Anyone with eyes could see the way you only look at him like that, and how you always seek him out and slip your hand into his or sit in his lap at any chance you can. Duke probably doesn’t even really have a possessive bone in his body and its sort of the hottest thing about him; that easy confidence and trust. He doesn’t feel a need to glare or square up with anyone. He just waits until you come back to his side and he smiles, all warm and tender, as he presses a kiss to your lips with a soft, “Hey, baby.” An easy arm around you or a warm smile from across the room; it’s all easy for him.

Bruce Wayne

Bruce is absolutely possessive. He claims he isn’t but you both know he’s lying, and terribly at that. He’s a little classy about it, sure. He doesn’t make a spectacle of it, but when he catches sight of someone flirting you up at a gala, he’ll walk over with a charming grin, placing his hand on your hip with a cool and easy, “There you are, darling.” He’ll spare a glance over at whoever was talking to you, keeping that charming and easy smile as he inserts himself politely into whatever conversation you’ve been having. He knows how to play the game, of course, so he’s a pro at chasing away interested parties with nothing but charm and grace and, of course, that hand never leaving your waist. Public Bruce Wayne is all casual affection, just enough to get the point across. But in the privacy in the manor or even the Batcave, the fake charm is replaced by something nearing desperation. He needs to touch you. Needs to pull you into his lap or into his arms. Needs to kiss whatever part of you he can reach. Needs to let his hands roam over you just to remind himself you aren’t going anywhere. He likes to mark you up with hickies but he always makes sure they’re in places only he’ll get to see. It’s less collected grace when you’re alone. Just that pure, unfiltered desire and love and need he always has when you’re around. Like you’re his missing piece and he’ll fight all of Gotham to keep you.
