Dick would be a teasing kisser. He likes to give playful pecks that leave you desperate for a real kiss. Especially when you're in public, and he can get you flustered. When you finally pull him into a real, deep kiss, you can feel the smirk on his lips. He can give real kisses just fine, but he likes to push your buttons, tempting you into taking charge.
Jason
Jason would be a passionate kisser. He doesn't hesitate to pour all his love into a single kiss. Leaving you breathless, yet there's no way you can miss how much he loves you. He wants to know that, should death claim him again, he never left you doubting whether or not he cared for you. Even quick, stolen kisses seem to have every bit of his heart poured into them.
Tim
Tim would be a shy kisser. No matter how many times you share a kiss with him, there's a sense of innocence. Every kiss is like the first kiss, timid, yet you know it's not because he's scared of you. But, as soon as he gets the kiss going, it's slow, steady, and intoxicating.
Roy
Roy would be a spontaneous kisser. Roy would be the type to kiss you mid-conversation. Not to cut you off, mind you. He just decided that, in that moment, he needed a kiss. Your lips just looked too tempting in the moment, and he'd be damned if he didn't indulge his desire to have his lips on yours.
Okay, could someone please explain Steph and Cass’s backstory to me? My friend just explained the Robin’s to me but he doesn’t know about them and I need to know😭 Like how they got to know Bruce and stuff?
˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ babe & cutie ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚
dick loves to call you these two names, for two obvious reasons. 1) he loves seeing your face burn brighter when he calls you "babe" or "cutie" when you're mad. he loves seeing you get flustered while you're angry at the same time, frankly because you end up getting distracted easily. 2) because dick grayson loves you! he would do anything to call you "babe" and "cutie" because he wants to give you that constant reminder that you mean the world to him!
JASON TODD:
˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ princess & doll face ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚
jason is such a tease, he loves to call you these names to make you blush furiously. but when you're drunk, you'll just grin and call him "sexy" back. he still calls you "dollface" the one time he broke through your window to get stitched up. he loves making you smile and just by calling you these names it lights you up when you're feeling down. because you always know jason is there to make you feel better.
TIM DRAKE:
˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ darling& sunshine ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚
you mean the world to tim. everyday you are the light in his eyes and he wants to remind you how much you mean to him. he loves calling you by the sweetest names to show that he cares about you so much. tim is such a gentleman in the name department as he calls you by the prettiest of names that he can imagine. let's just say all of those books that you gave him really impacted the words he would call you.
DAMIAN WAYNE:
˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ beloved & love ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚
damian tends to go with traditional names, but it still shows that coming from an island full of assassins comes a long way. he loves calling you by these names. damian knows it makes you happy to know that he does show how much he cares about you, but he also loves how your smile beams twice as brighter when he calls you those names. he's glad to have someone like you.
Do you have any random headcannon? If yes can you tell us? 🐑
Random Headcanons for the Batboys!
Yes yes yes I love this idea! Here are some random thoughts from my little noggin.
When Damian was younger, he totally would sleep in animal onesies and imitate any new animal he learned about. He totally had a capybara phase where he would dance around like one.
Tim totally recorded that as future blackmail
I have mentioned before that Damian is a bad cook, but I take that back (only partially). The only food he does know how to make are special arabic dishes that his mother taught him. So sometimes if his beloved is feeling especially tired but still wants something from home, he'll roll up his sleeves and make Kabsa!
We all know that Jason is a literature nerd so it would only make sense that he would write gay Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby fanfiction during his earlier years. No one knows about this except for maybe Alfred.
I am complete stan for nerdy Tim watching X-Files and Psych and Monk and Gravity Falls and such, and creating huge power point presentations explaining the Lebam v Mabel theory (among other such things)
Dick has won Sexiest Man of the Year a few times, perhaps before Bruce himself. The family has the magazine hung up like a museum piece.
Tim exposed Damian to video games such as Pokemon and Animal Crossing and he has been hooked ever since. I like to imagine that Damian prefers softer games like Slime Rancher and Minecraft rather than First Person Shooters or RPG's.
Any batfamily member loves to see their s/o in any of their merch. Especially the more possessive ones. They love the idea of coming home from patrol and seeing you spread out on the bed, passed out and wearing, say a specified hoodie with their branding on it. It probably turns them on, ngl
Dick and Jason really love Disney movies. They could probably cry over the sadder ones.
Bruce Wayne - The holiday spirit really gets to him, even though he’ll never admit it, and he starts feeling extra generous (so much so you feel like your turning into his sugar baby). Showers you with gifts and love, and will pull you under the mistletoe a million times for a kiss. The two of you spend most nights curled up together in front of the fire place. Refuses to even entertain your idea of iceskating because he “doesn’t like the cold” but you know it’s because he doesn’t know how and will probably fall on his face. The two of you run away from plenty of Christmas galas together.
Dick Grayson - Unlike Bruce he will go ice skating with you, even if he doesn't know how, which I have a feeling he does and rlly enjoys it. I don't think he'd be super crazy about holiday season tbh, but he doesn't completely ignore it either. Will help you with holiday shopping, even gets it done for you sometimes because he doenst want you to suffer through it. You guys try to make Christmas cookies together, key word try, because he has no idea what he's doing and it ends up a disaster. Will drink hot coco with you and do all the fun cheesy couple things couples do during the winter season.
Jason Todd - He loves decorating sooo much, almost to much, so your place always looks like Christmas vomit during the holiday season, but in a cute way of course. Ya'll have matching Christmas PJ's and will have gingerbread house decorating contests. Literally refuses to holiday shop with you because he hates it almost as much as you, but he's mean about it and throws it all on you. You're the only one who got a gift from him.
What type of witch or what type of witchcraft would each batboy be suited to?
The Batfam and Witchcraft
Witchcraft is an extremely vast spectrum: the experiences or “types” listed are not the only ones out there, nor do I claim to know everything about these types. Even if you do not believe in this practice, it is real to a large portion of people (myself included) so please be respectful about this post. This is for fun and for educational purposes only.
warnings: Mentions of death, animal death, spirits, bones, etc
word count: 2,750~
I was so excited to get this request and totally did not just write all of this in one sitting the second I had time to get all my witchy books off my shelf.
Alfred Pennyworth
I think it goes without saying that Alfred is a Kitchen Witch
I’m sorry but those amazing dishes he cooks? How perfect his cooking is? Witchcraft
He spends a lot of time within the kitchen, might as well add a bit of his belief into everything he makes
It used to be tiny things that he only served himself, he didn't want to intrude on another persons belief so he kept it within his dishes
Stirring his morning tea clockwise with his intentions for the day, whether its health, patience, etc. Then stirring his evening tea counterclockwise to cleanse himself of any energies he encountered throughout the day
Placing garnishes in the shape of sigils or a pentacles
Tiny things that are subtle and powerful
As Bruce grew older and started to understand more of Alfred’s beliefs, Alfred was able to share his path and share his energy through his food
Alfred and Bruce made their own little coven within each other as they learned and practiced together
Alfred began to put up posters in the kitchen showing the properties of certain herbs to look back on later as he cooks
He has so many books in the kitchen on the metaphysical properties of herbs, crystals, elements, etc
So it comes as no surprise that Alfred is also a Green Witch
Alfred likes to use certain herbs within his cooking for their properties
He loves to sprinkle a little lavender into every bit of tea he gives the boys, its properties of calming and easing the mind is just a little bit of solace for their lives
Keeping crushed egg shells for its protection
The stockpile of salt and pepper is insane
As the boys slowly started to get introduced into the coven, Alfred quickly became the expert of all things earth bound
Which is why Alfred considers himself an elemental witch as well
He honors the elements in his practice
Lighting candles and using fire to cook and bless his meals, using different types of waters (rain water, moon water, etc), harnessing smoke and herbs and thanking the elements for allowing him to use their energy
So Alfred’s cooking does have a little bit of magick in it
Bruce Wayne
After Martha and Thomas passed, Bruce became much more aware of Alfred’s practice
He was taken under Alfred’s wing and was introduced into witchcraft from a mundane everyday standpoint
Having a little bit of magick in their everyday lives was something they looked forward to every dinner together
Bruce learned a lot from cooking with Alfred, but eventually, he branched off to research on his own, to define his own belief systems and practice since no two practice is identical
As much as Bruce would love to be a Kitchen Witch, he just doesn't have the calling for it
But using the elements was always something that fascinated him, especially when he began to understand that each element had its own unique energy
He was the one who taught each of his kids to cast a circle with the elements, even if they didn't use it, he sleeps better knowing they can use that as protection and amplification
Alfred’s collection of books soon swarmed the kitchen so Bruce moved them to the library, where it became riddled with metaphysical books for Bruce to scour through in his free time
Alfred constantly found Bruce in the library and would always remind him to take a break and eat something lest he get burnt out
Witchcraft is vast, and downright intimidating to research
So Bruce started at the beginning
He studied the history of witchcraft and the ancient practice, watching how it evolved overtime to become more modernized and easily accessible for everyone
With his feet in the roots of witchcraft, Bruce defines himself as a Traditional Witch
He honors the “old” ways in his own practice while still adding more modern twists to it that he enjoys
Looking into his ancestors and its ties into history, trying to heal generational trauma so he can not only heal from his parents death, but become a better father for his kids
As time grew on, Bruce became more attached to ceremonial magick, eventually evolving to become a Ceremonial Witch
He holds rituals and ceremonies in a very high regard and blocks out time to honor the past and look forward
With each ceremony, he never fails to ask the elements for their assistance
Old habits die hard
Dick Grayson
Dick learned from both Bruce and Alfred, but similar to Bruce, he had to branch off to figure his own path out
But unlike Bruce, Dick had a hard time labelling himself to one type of practice
He enjoyed kitchen magick, elemental magick, ceremonial, and many other types truly fascinated him, so it was hard to pinpoint exactly what he practiced
Dick wanted to try a little bit of everything, to see why some people practiced this type while others didn't, he wanted to try everything to see what clicked
It took Bruce handing Dick a book on each of the different practices of witchcraft for Dick to realize there was a label for his practice: eclectic
He pulls a lot of his practice from other forms to create his own, he essentially has his own set of rules that he learned over time from practice and experience
Bruce and Alfred had very strong ties to the elements and that rubbed off on Dick a lot, to the point that Dick was extremely excited to try out a Sea Witch path
When Alfred first showed Dick the different types of water, that jumpstarted his fascination with the element
He uses water a lot in his practice: tracing the different types of moon waters and using them accordingly, collecting different types of rainwater from different weather patterns, and most importantly, sea water and lake water
It didn’t take long for Dick to get into the folklore of the ocean on his journey, enough to leave offerings for sirens and mermaids as a form of gratitude for allowing him to share the oceans energy
Sometimes he visits the ocean just for permission to cast certain spells, or to see if a drifting energy wishes to help him in the ceremony
Bruce was a little worried about Dicks affinity for Sirens, mermaids, and the fae since they aren’t forgiving creatures, nor are they creatures you want to cross
But Dick had a way
You can often find him rolling his pants up and walking along the sore to find shells, crystals, and to collect sand
Not without thanking the ocean of course
He brings an empty bag to the ocean every time and he leaves with it filled
After tracing the moon and stars a lot to see its affect on water, Dick learned enough about astrology to consider himself a Cosmic Witch as well
He often times his ceremonies with the moon or planets because it has such a strong tie to the water in his practice
He knows enough about astrology as well but he isn't too terribly invested in it for personality purposes in others, rather, for learning himself
Theres a reason he was so connected to the ocean, it has terrifying depth that is uncharted—he's scared of it and terrified of seeing it within himself
His uncharted emotions and repressed memories, he finds comfort knowing he can explore the depths of his character alongside the oceans warmth
Jason Todd
As a kid, Jason followed the path that the others taught him, it was a comforting one full of light and hope
But after his death, he saw the other side of witchcraft
He was left reeling from the experience, traumatized by what he felt and saw within the world he once thought he knew
Witchcraft is not all happy and healing, it can be terrifying and incredibly dark
Death was something that Jason tried to shrug off, saying he's died once he’s not scared of it anymore, he can face anything
But inside, he remembered what it felt like in his last moments and the choke of his first breath
So Jason explored the darker side of witchcraft, and Bruce let him, Bruce showed him the history of stereotypes and where “darker” magick originated from until Jason got a firm grasp on his new journey: Death Magick
Death Magick taught Jason how to overcome his fears surrounding death, to be at peace with the end of his life because death magick is about harnessing the energies of those who have passed
Since Jason himself had passed, he has a strong tie to spirits
He started small, finding dead insects and saying a small blessing for them, introducing himself to them and befriending their spirit
Finding roadkill on patrol and putting on a clean pair of gloves to move the poor animal off the road—the spirits of these animals were simply grateful that they could no longer be harmed
These small acts of kindness became routine for Jason, until he gathered enough courage to ask the spirits for help
The spirits enjoyed having someone to talk to, someone who respected them, so they let him use their body in his practice
Bone throwing, bone offerings, wings for their ties to the element or air, getting permission to collect graveyard dirt, etc
He's always very respectful to those who have passed because he saw himself in them
Finding lost souls and guiding them around Gotham, helping them with their unfinished ties to the mortal plane
On this “darker” path, Jason came to realize just how cruel this world is, he’s always known, but now he can see that he can do something about it without violence
So he became a Gray Witch
A witch who constantly walked the line between “good” and “evil”, but he understood that there is no such thing as good and evil, as black and white, only fairness and justice
Jason is the batboy you go to if you want to hex a bitch, because he will if he deems it to be fair and right based on the context
He, much like most witches who practice baneful magic, have a moral code—they aren't inherently evil
Doesn't make his practice any less intimidating, but he is a strong advocate for baneful witches
He will crush the stereotypes because hexing is simply a form of protection and standing up for yourself
Tim Drake
Much like Dick, Tim had a hard time labelling himself, so he considered himself an Eclectic Witch
He didn't want to be tied down to one particular practice, but needed a belief system, he needed structure, he needed rules
But Dick showed him that Tim could make his own based on his own experiences and his own research
After spending too much time with Jason, Tim realized he had a lot of clairsenses that he thought was just his own mind
Tim’s mind is powerful, so its not surprising that Tim can firmly believe in something and have the energy be cast outwards through his senses
Tim relies on these spiritual senses of sight, touch, hearing, etc to understand the burning questions he's always had about life and witchcraft
Every experience he faced gave him answers but left him with so many unanswered questions
He experienced contacting spirits with Jason and immediately pestered him about the after life and exactly what happens
What drives Tim through his practice is just to understand
With his clairs, Tim realized how much potential he had with bridging the gap between the mortal plane and the spiritual
He spent months researching astral projecting and even longer trying to figure out the Akashic Records, personal and general
Tim wanted to learn, to understand, and what better way then interacting with the astral realm?
It took him so many attempts but he eventually crossed the bridge and was able to see himself become a Hedge Witch
He crosses the boundary between worlds and interacts with spirits along the way, oftentimes passing information to Jason who utilizes it the most
As Tim trained in the astral to develop his senses, to learn more, he interacted with more divine beings
He’s extremely open minded towards any being who comes his way to help him, either with his journey or in his personal life
Whether its a Hellenic, Norse, Kemetic, or Roman entity, he remains open to any and all
It doesn't take long for him to find a deities who want to help him train and grow, reminding him to rest and to overcome his own insecurities
Each deity left him with important lessons, and he never forgets them
He even honors each deity with their own altar so they know he still remembers and embraces them
Alfred picks up on this pretty quickly and learns a bit about Tim’s beliefs, Tim even helped Alfred set up altars for the home and for all of the elements since they all played such pivotal parts in the families practices
Any energy that wants to talk to him and give him a message, Tim will respect and listen, because even the wind has enlightening messages drifting by your ears, its up to you to listen
Damian Wayne
Damian joined the coven and was immediately able to learn about so many different pathways and find out which one called to him the most
Because of his childhood, Damian already had an interesting set of morals
So learning about Jasons path was the most intriguing
Because Damian didn't have to shun the part of himself that longed for justice, the part of him that seemed “inhumane”
He could embrace it alongside his brother
So he became a Gray witch, constantly walking across the boundaries and learning his own set of morals, not the ones imposed by his childhood or the ones society forced onto him, his own
It was freeing, liberating even
Seeing Jason honor dead animals and connecting with their spirits was something that Damian immediately became interested in (despite hating how much he was learning from Jason)
Damian wasn't able to connect with dead spirits as easily as Jason but he trained it, he was stubborn enough to meditate constantly to become more aware of the spirits he wanted to connect with
Unlike Jason, Damian preferred connected with animal spirits and animal spirits alone
They are less draining and he was able to connect with them easier because he has such a warm love for animals
Using animal parts in his practice became a constant, being able to honor these beautiful creatures while still loving his own was amazing
He took after Bruce with his practice however, using animal parts within his own ceremonies and rituals
Damian liked the power behind saving energy for planned ceremonies, something Bruce taught him how to do
So he also practices ceremonial magick, enough that he writes his own ceremonies to be done with each animal
He writes each name and death date down in a journal so he can continue to honor them in the future
Overtime, Damian built up his character and figured himself out through his path of justice and learning
Within figureing himself and animals out, he still struggled with bridging the gap between himself and other people
Thats where Dick taught him about astrology
Dick knows surface level astrology, but it was enough for a spark to go off in Damian
At first, Damian hated how easily his character was predicted by the stars, how easily he was put into a box
It was almost insulting to his being that he was simply a bunch of signs instead of himself
But after enough research, he realized that he could use astrology to validate his own feelings, to understand the parts of himself he didnt before in the past
He’s able to use astrology to understand people
All he had to do was memorize the signs and houses and he can know everything about someone? It was that easy? Instead of just guessing? (Learning astrology isn't easy, Damian is just a tiny stubborn genius)
Putting people into boxes allowed him to quickly assess new people entering his life, to finally understand how other people’s minds work along with his own
Even if there were initial holes in the logic that pestered him, hes grateful for a tool he can use to understand the world a bit better
Note: Just some platonic Batfam bonding. If you would like to be added to my taglist please message me!
It would be everyone for themselves
And they would have to do it on a night that Bruce was away.
Not on patrol in Gotham--NO
Like trying to stop another apocalypse with the Justice League.
And instead of helping him and the league out the batfam was deeply engulfed in a strategic and black-ops level paintball game in the manor.
Where's Alfred? Watching everything from the batcave, because he's the referee and has plenty of snacks and refreshments for those that get out.
"No Mistress Cassandra, you can't aim for the head."
It took awhile to determine a prize until they realized that bragging rights with their egos was a prize enough.
Alfred wasn't helping to deescalate their scheme much either. He had helped to transform the manor into a woodsy theme and the boys all had to use the nightvision in their respective helmets and masks.
He did advise them not to wear their suits in case of patrol, which was responsible
Naturally, Dick was the first one out. He thoughts Babs and him had formed an alliance, but like previously mentioned:
"EVERYONE FOR THEMSELVES, SORRY!"
Babs was actually doing amazing considering that she was in a wheelchair and had to make herself vulnerable for a bit just to get around.
To be fair she did guilt Tim into not shooting her.
"Come on, Tim, you wouldn't shoot a girl in a wheelchair would you?"
So Damian popped out of his hiding spot in the vents and shot her right in the leg.
Tim wasn't able to retaliate, so instead he avoided the vents and went back to the hunt.
And he was jittery from all the caffeine he drank before this, so his aim was off.
Dick was mad at Babs at first, and Jason laughed at him as he made his way to the batcave, running to hide when Dick gave away his position.
"JASON'S IN THE DINING ROOM!"
"MOTHERFUCKER!"
Considering that guns are now a staple with the Red Hood, you'd think that Jason would win this game
But he was too busy laughing at Dick getting out first that he didn't hear Cass sneak up and shoot him in the back of the knee.
"WHAT THE FU-"
She was gone before Jason even finished his curse word.
Dick opened the door to the batcave smirking at Jason.
"Bat caught your tongue?"
"Fuck off."
Soon enough it was down to Damian, Cass, and Tim.
Stephanie had been taken out by Cass early on, and Duke was taken out by Tim.
The losers gathered around Alfred with the popcorn, soda, and alcohol that he had laid out for them.
Bets were being placed on the remaining candidates.
Despite avoiding the vents, Damian had changed his strategy and had shot Tim from ontop the banister near the foyer.
"Nice try Drake. I have proven to be the superior."
"Whatever Damian."
"It's only natural, considering I'm the--"
And that's when Cass fell from the chandelier, shooting Damian in the stomach mid way.
"BET ON CASS, BITCHES!" Stephanie screamed.
She shared her winnings with Cass of course.
Cass beamed at Damian proudly and he stomped away angrily towards the batcave.
The rest of them swarmed out of the batcave, embracing Cass, Jason hoisting her onto his shoulders when the door opens.
All of them, deer caught in headlights. Covered in paint, along with most of the house, or more currently the foyer.
