BESTIE!!! I love your writing so much??? May we have some thomas Wayne jr headcanons? I love your perspective of him so far and I’d love to know more!!
Hi, there :D
Idk if you sent this ask to the wrong person (lol), but I'm gonna write down my TJ hcs anyway
He operates under the belief that nothing really matters, that the universe is hopeless, blah blah blah. Because of this, he actually considers Bruce to be "puppies and rainbows" to a certain degree since Bruce holds what he thinks to be, an insanely optimistic (borderline naive) outlook on Gotham's future and people's potential to be good
It confuses the majority of people since his "sunshiney younger brother" is fucking *BATMAN*, who's famous for being the most paranoid person in the planet
100% lets the Batkids do whatever they want. He doesn't really care, but when Bruce scolds them, he takes it as a chance to mess with him, and he brings up all the deranged shit Bruce did in his childhood. (Like that scene in Rick and Morty where Rick shows Beth her concerning childhood toys)
He and Bruce were a nightmare to deal with for Alfred, especially during Bruce's teenage dirtbag years
Tbh, I'm not even sure if he fully grew out of the Teenage Dirtbag phase
When he was younger, he didn't really know what to do with his life, and often asked himself, "What's the point?" It led to him developing a bit of a drug addiction
He's about 10ish years older than Bruce, and after that night in the alley, he decided to go to rehab. He was kind of...a mess at the time, and figured that it would've been better for everyone, Bruce especially, if he just avoided the Manor
His relationship with his parents is...complicated
He didn't wanna be the one to continue the Wayne legacy, and he holds no respect for authority
People take one look at him and immediately clock that he has daddy issues
Was intrigued by the concept of the multiverse and went dimension hopping for a bit. He's definitely Seen Some Shit because of it
Even when Bruce was like 20 already, he still treated him like he was a kid. He learned about the whole Batman thing, and his first thoughts were, "You decided to cosplay that cartoon you watched growing up?"
Mentally compares Bruce's vigilantism to a kid playing superhero. He thinks it's pointless and kinda dumb, but eh, if it makes Bruce happy
Doesn't trust the Justice League. At all. He thinks of them as "Bruce's dumb weird friends." He definitely also has his own plans on how to take them down
Showed up as "Owlman" a few times to make fun of Batman
Has definitely made of Bruce for the Matches Malone thing
Visits like, once a decade. It's mostly to check if everything's gone to shit or not
I am so dumb to find out that he is loved by every Wayne till several minutes ago😂...
***** ***** ***** Main character dies ***** ***** *****
EVERY Wayne loves Richard John Grayson...
And he love them back
there is always a happy end
If they love him properly...
TJ Wayne: I HATE you, you’re the WORST father in the world!
Thomas: [‘Fuck you, I’ve been trying my absolute best’ Scoff]
Martha: Hey! Don’t talk to your Отец that way. He deserves your respect.
TJ: [Elder sister scoff]
Thomas: Yeah! Respect me, you little shit!
Baby Bruce: [Wobbles after TJ on in his little bat slippers]
TJ: I HATE YOU!
Thomas: I hate you MORE!
Alfred: [ watches The Great British bake off to max volume.]
WAIT. Thomas Wayne Junior. Silver St. Cloud. I am seeing a vision.
Mother. Father. Uncle. Aunt. Disastrous bisexual energy. Trailer park Rapunzel and Flynn. Barbie and Raquelle. Bruce’s number one ship since he was 5. Uncle who CANNOT be left to babysit the batkids + aunt who buys Jason guns. “That’s self-care for guys, right?”
People don’t understand the potential of Thomas Wayne Junior and Mario Falcone. BUT they have to be portrayed like this specifically
Also they should have a “childhood friends to pining idiots to exes who never dated to enemies to friends again to married couple who’s not married to lovers” dynamic.
Bruce 100% based Matches on Mario. I like to imagine he was the tiny weird kid on the block and Mario’s brotherly instincts wouldn’t let Alberto’s ONE friend get pushed around.
Thomas Wayne to Alfred: I like that boy, good fitness
Alfred who saw him climb up TJ’s window at least four times this week: You couldn’t be more right, sir
I'm a TJ Wayne enjoyer (derogatory) and you could you perhaps tell us the headcanons you have for TJ and Thomas's relationship in the (do correct me if I'm wrong) the ghost au (?) (where Thomas and Martha return as spirits and I refuse to believe that they would leave their other baby boi all alone 😭)
Also I gave Bruce and TJ a big sis :)
- (´∩。• ᵕ •。∩`) nonny
Extremely complicated mother/daughter dynamic
Really bringing out the Thomas flaws in this one boys, gals, and whatever pals
Thomas had certain expectations for fatherhood, and it sucks, because it’s not his children’s burden to fulfill them, but he didn’t expect bonding to be so… Slow.
I really enjoy the exploration of father guilt, being insecure in your position as a fellow guardian and mentor for this little stranger that completely and utterly depends on you for survival.
It feels like you’re God; Except it sucks, because you care.
Martha asking if he isn’t so in love with this small, rebellious, fragile and insubstantial being, and Thomas going. “…Mhm.” “…You know it’s normal not to be, right? At the start?” “At the start, yeah; But why isn’t it going away?”
Those aren’t the FLAWS per se; Those are coming next
I think Thomas would be a very hands on parent. Almost overly parental. Which breeds TJ’s u truly, rule rejecting character.
Also VERY intimate. Like. “You can absolutely tell me everything. Because I want to know everything and because I love you so much that not knowing everything riddles me with anxiety. “
TJ explicitly tells Bruce he’s very lucky he already has kids, cause god damn it, he had to put off having his own.
Apparently, girlfriends don’t like their father in law asking when’s the last time they had a period, “So I can keep track and give you the best conception time!” Go figure.
But I definitely think they’d both have the “I think you should have another baby :)” talk
Bruce: …Yeah, Papa, that’s definitely something to consider.
Thomas: no no!! Something that should happen!
TJ: what are you, collecting beanie babies, what—
Thomas: well I just figured it’d make sense! Besides, I’ve been keeping track of the best fertile season so you two can match.
Bruce :
TJ: Im LITERALLY contemplating. Not sure what, but it ends with “cide”
I keep thinking about your TJ and I don’t think he’d have kids* BUT the concept of Bruce inviting TJ and his kids over for some family get together and telling all his kids they need to behave and be proper because TJ’s kids are NOT used to Wayne Family Antics (TM) and he shows them a picture of these perfect angels smiling all sweetly at the camera and cuddled with their mean mugging dad just for them to be actual demonic beings from Hell is so funny. Jason’s all pissed because “dammit Bruce I have to hide ALL my fucking guns” and just for these kids to say shit like “guns are so impersonal we prefer knives 🥰”
*I don’t think he’d have kids so maybe he gets his Wayne patented baby fever out by fostering kids and he just so happens to attract mean TERRIBLE children :( (he loves them with all his heart)
TJ WITH KIDS? I LOVE????
The bat kids should have the worst possible cousins in history; They parade so angelically and guiltlessly and purely, when actually, they’re probably keeping Joker as a piñata in a basement.
TJ’s youngest tried poisoning Tim 4 times, with 4 different types of venom from the snake reservoir Damian keeps in his room. “Strangely, it tastes…Good.”
Jason gawks, “you DRANK that? You little FREAK?”
“What was I supposed to do? Throw coffee away like a Neanderthal?”
“Spit it out?? You’ll die?”
“You don’t control me.”
Damian keeps trying to prove these abominations are the root of evil (they didn’t sharpen his crayons after using them) and Bruce is just like, “Your cousins need to feel welcome here. They’re very nice kids.”
Bruce knows.
TJ does, too. “These kids have the Martha Wayne gene. Good luck trying to tell them what to do.”
