Somehow, taking care of Damian is mostly tasked to Jason and usually, Damian doesn't mind. After a long day, Jason was so exhausted he sleepily agreed to read to Damian, something Damian surprisingly enjoyed though he wouldn't admit it. About one chapter in, he just passes out instead and Dami shakes him a little only to sigh and settle on him like he was a couch, and reads the book himself. Dami uses Jason as a heater as well, and when Jason finally wakes up the next day, he finds Damian asleep on him. It was a balance, and this time, Jason fell back asleep using Dami as a heater. Even as others passed by, Dick and Stephanie taking pictures for blackmail, no one dared to disturb them.
Jason and Dick have a thing for redheads, and this is true both in fanon and canon,
some of Jason love interest in canon are: Barbara (yes, for some reason that is canon in some dc universe) and Artemis (the Amazon from outlaws). And in fanon: Roy and Koriand'r
All of them are redheads
now Dick, in canon: Koriand'r and Barbara (again). In fanon: Wally
Still, all of them redheads
so yeah, the first to robins have a thing for redheads, but the third and fourth (beacuse Steph is more like robin 3.5) have a thing for Kryptonians... let me explain
romantically in fandom, and in frienship in canon,
Tim has Kon, and Damian has Jon
and the fact that dc gave Jon a boyfriend, and the same goes to Tim, but that boyfriend isn't their bat/supes counterpart...
so yeah, this is my headcanon do what you want with it
Everytime I think of Damian doing something more stylised than realistic I imagine it in the style of 'Song Of The Sea' or 'WolfWalkers' but more proportional and it makes me so happy.
All of the art of his family to most people would expect it be hyper realistic, show everything just as it is but hell no! From using shaky and flowy to strict and thick outlines to show how trustworthy or stable somebody is, the faintest change of shade in their eyes to show a storm of thougths, it's how he sees everybody.
I would love to hear your opinion on his art :)
Also if you haven't seen those movies please watch them. You will cry but all for good reasons
Ooc !!
I've never seen either of those, but I'll definitely add them to the list of movies I need to get around to watching!
The idea that Damian takes someone and uses different types of styles to depict how that person is personality wise is utterly entertaining. Personally, whenever I have shown art for this account, I have always made sure to make the drawings have a somewhat different sense of style to them rather than just a straight-up doodle or sketch. For a Jonathan Kent piece I made (from Damian's perspective), I had used softer lines and tried to stay away from being overly messy to show that Jon was a very gentle and soft person. Then, when I was a part of @/sleep-deprived-tim's lore, I had came up with a concept of where Damian used harsh and ragged lines for Tim. Overlining and repeating over the lines, making it messy, because Damian simply couldn't remember exactly what Tim looked like (and that he didn't think Tim resembled a human).
I think Damian would absolutely use different techniques to show how he sees people around him. Talia would be elegant flowy lines, always either facing the side looking away to show how deeply Damian misses her all the time. It would be like she's there, but only from his memory. Drawings of Dick would be him smiling, some sporadic lines to show that he sees Dick always at his "best" but that he's always hiding something beneath the cracks—
But I feel at first most people wouldn't notice the small details that Damian provides in his artwork because it's only something Damian knows. People wouldn't realize at first that Damian went a different pathway with a portrait of someone he loves that wasn't exactly realistic because of his own view of that person. Damian draws with emotion. Every piece he does is filled with how he's feeling or what he feels towards someone.
Nobody would know unless they asked Damian, but even then, I think Damian wouldn't be honest in his reply.
Example ->
"Is there a reason why you draw your brother Jason with such sad filled eyes?" (If they were to notice)
"No. It was simply an artistic choice I made on my behalf, believing that it would better my art of him." (It isn't. It's his way of seeing Jason, even if it isn't always visible on Jason's face. He can always see the sadness and hurt in Jason's eyes, even if it's been years since his incident. It's why he chooses to draw Jason in such a way.)
I could yap more about the little details that I think Damian would add in his artwork, but I won't. I hope this gets my opinion across!
Head canon that Damian eventually learns to talk more like a normal person while hanging around with the batfam and Jon and only goes back to his posh language and only using last or full names when he is pissed off/defensive (mostly at Bruce).
I'm imaging situation where Tim goes to annoy him and he's like "Fuck off, Drake" and Tim is like "yikes, what'd Bruce do now?"
It makes Damian even more mad that he is so easy to read, but the emotion and language is so closely linked he can't stop it.

he found out you were living in crime alley with your mom who told you your fathers name before she died
he’d just adopted jason a while ago and now he just had another daughter all of a sudden
he’d just adopted jason a while ago and now he just had another daughter all of a sudden
the media expected you to be the little sunshine of the family, since you were the only girl, but you called them out for being sexist with some very colourful words
you weren’t nice to anyone
at first it was because you blamed bruce for your mom’s death, but you pretty soon realised that he wasn’t at fault, and you were sure you’d heard him visit your mother’s grave as well, so he did care
then you blamed jason and dick for taking away all his attention, when dick was barely present and jason was an ass
when you found out the secret you were mad at them for not telling you and treating you like a baby
when tim came, you were mad at everyone for just replacing jason because even if you were never nice to him and you despised him, he was somehow still your brother and they didn’t have the right to throw his memory away
when jason returned from the dead, you were mad at him for putting you through so much
so, you’ve pretty much been mad at everyone all your life, remaining stone cold while still caring, truly batman’s child
that was until damian came
when he came, you were pleasantly surprised, a short little baby with nothing but murder on his mind?
at first he resented you because he saw you as the competition, y’know, being ‘the blood daughter’
you however, didn’t like to mad at damian, in fact he was the only person you couldn’t be mad at for long
you could go days with being rude and heartless to everyone else, even bruce now, but not damian
the reason for this was because somewhere you saw yourself in him
a young boy, taken from the only home he knew, now introduced to a man he never knew earlier who is supposed to be his father?
sounds similar
someone who wanted his only known living family members approval not knowing he didn’t know if his mother was alive?
you’d definitely heard it before
hurting deep inside but keeping it all locked in so you don’t appear weak in front of someone else, even if it’s your family?
it was like looking in a mirror but this time a younger male looking back at you
having to live upto the expectations of all the previous people in this business but you were never taught this way of life and now you’re just pushed into it with all these expectations and responsibilities?
yeah, he was a mini you, only difference was that you’d been raised with your mom in crime alley while he was an heir to the league of assassinations but it wasn’t much of a difference
so, you were patient with him, something you’d never been even with tim or even jason, who was adopted the same time as you were
you needed someone when you got here but you didn’t get anyone but alfred and now damian was going through a very similar thing
you knew the person you wanted but you didn’t know the person damian needed, didn’t mean you wouldn’t learn
with everyone besides dick not even trying to welcome him, you knew you had to be someone for him, and so you were
you didn’t have the best relationship with her, you seldom even spoke of her until damian brought her up
you’d never shut him down before but you didn’t hesitate to do it now
it wasn’t until he followed you to your mother's graveyard did he learn of it, and it was that particular event that lead you two to bond over the fact both of you had a cold and distant mother and an even more cold and distant father
slowly but eventually you became the big sister damian needed, you sparred with him, you sat with him while he painted even if you couldn’t paint to save your life, and you’d be there if he got a nightmare from the league when he had a fight with bruce, you were there for him through all of that
and slowly but eventually, you got though him, he accepted you as an older sister faster than anyone else in the family
you became the person, the sibling you needed when you had just moved here for damian and you didn’t regret it one bit
that didn’t mean your demeanor towards everyone else had changed
you were still emotionless, rude and cold towards them all but damian, sometimes you’d help him make threats too
alfred watched you two bond in peace, he was glad you’d grown up to be a strong woman and damian’s walls slowly melted away, at least when he was with you
you were always warm towards him, and as someone who wasn’t used to it, he grew attached to you quickly
y’all were the black sheep, called cold and rude, coming off as the rudest people in the family but inside you two just never got the love you wanted from a father or a mother
damian’s mom wasn’t a bad mom, she just never showed her affection in front of him, much like yours
the resemblance was uncanny
you’d fought bruce many times for him not giving damian his attention or chance, it was always the same excuse
you knew he didn’t mean it, he was just trained to be this way you knew bruce tried but it wasn’t enough, but at least he was trying
you still hated most of the other boys for not giving damian a chance and judging him, because unlike them, you knew who damian wayne-al ghul really was
just like how he and alfred were the only ones who knew you
one day, the mission was a tough and dangerous one
you were benched, so you couldn’t go but you were worried for them all, especially damian, he was getting even more reckless to prove his worth to bruce
watching them while helping babs, you’d never seen anyone be so dumb, especially for detectives, crime lords, vigilantes and everything else they were
they did a horrible job and you weren’t scared to tell them
“horrible job everyone,” was the sarcastic voice that greeted them and none of them needed it after the scolding they’d gotten from bruce but you weren’t about to let them go easily
“dick, that wasn’t a reasonable cover place, you left everyone behind, Jason, covert means no guns because they make this thing called noise that defeats the entire purpose of the mission, and Timmy what the hell? you were so slow, you almost got stabbed like four times, start sleeping, it’s showing on your fieldwork and here, there is no space for errors”
as you turned to damian, everyone prepared to see what you would tell him, but to everyone’s surprise, you just put a gentle hand on his shoulder and looked at him warmly
warm and you didn’t go in the same sentence
everyone was taken aback from your next words, “damian while your tactic was effective, you rushed a little into battle, but it’s okay, you still did great and i am so proud of you, go clean up, you deserve an early night”
the??? tone??? was??? soft????
no one had heard you use it before
they were all shook
aside from you and damian of course, he nodded and walked off to his room, freshening up and you joined him. He painted while you typed away, finishing some work you had left. This was another usual day, one damian came to appreciate spending with you, his older sister, someone who chose him even if you could have chosen anyone else
a tear fell as he sat at your grave, the only things he had were his memories. you were the only one who was there for him, who stood up for him, fought for him and that got you killed. shielding him from a bullet, you’d broken the one promise you made him, to never leave.
