Small png of the dumb cute clones 

No one's really gonna mention how gender neutral most of the Robin costumes are????? Okay ig

........t-twelve.....

gonna write my own overly specific and seemingly arbitrary do not interact

List of Bruce Wayne concepts that may or may not be me projecting

Once when he was 16 he texted Kate that she needed to come over quickly and she thought it was an emergency but it turns out that Bruce's boyfriend at the time broke up with him and he wanted to dye his hair and diss the guy with his older cousin

She still cries about this night when she misses him

After he adopted Dick he stopped locking his bedroom door so the kid could climb in bed with bruce and cuddle after a nightmare (it helped them both a lot more than either knows)

About a week before Dick's first gala the kid had a breakdown bc he wanted to wear a dress instead of a tux but thought bruce wouldn't approve or love him anymore if he found out, but when he did tell bruce all he did was hug him and ask "which dress do you want? No budget"

They made front cover the next day with their sparkly blue gowns

Bruce doesn't like Starbucks, and will often run into small family owned cafes as batman

Tim, Jason, and Cass took on this tradition

If a random kid comes up to the manor doors he will let them come in for dinner, sleep in a nice bed, take a shower whatever they need

He pays for free health care for all of Gotham

Stephanie asked him for advice on 'which piercing would look best on me' as a joke and he proceeded to answer her seriously

She didn't know that he had a septum piercing

He gets upset when people touch his neck and shoulders (specific the back)

He gives himself haircuts

He had a mullet at one point and doesn't regret it

Dick found pictures of it and that's why he grew his hair out into one, as a tribute

for a sad prompt or idea(if it’s not you’re style or not comfortable you don’t have to do it)

Tim who’s been stressing and stuggling with his place in the batfam after Bruce came back. Like he and Dick never talked about the whole replacing Tim with Damian and calling him crazy. Like Tim who’s tired of being bullied by Damian, called replacement and Pretender by Dick, not getting acknowledged like his brothers by Bruce. Tim just sad realizing no one cares about him and this isn’t home anymore. So he goes back to Drake Manor and no one notices. Like Tim goes back to his empty childhood home sad and something happens and the family realizes that they didn’t treat Tim right and they feel guilty....idk just sum sad Tim and guilty batfam

I hope you like this, I tried my best and ik I kinda did a lazy ending but hey, it's self indulgent.

Tim was getting tired of it all. 

Tim was tired of it all. 

At first, he understood. It can be hard to come into a new setting with a bunch of people you feel the need to compete with, so he understood where Damian was. 

He understood that at times, Dick's humor was weird. He didn't mean anything by it. 

He understood everyone being busy and the entire family being chaos incarnate. 

He didn't understand why he was being ignored. It was like he never existed. His siblings, once loud and inclusive, had now kept to their own groups within the family, none of which included Tim. 

Duke was nice, but it was kind of hard to hang out with someone who was feeling sympathetic for him and his loneliness. It's not pity, he had to remind himself. 

He tried hanging out with them, he really did. He tried to ask Dick about his police work, which ended in Dick being reminded of police paper-work that he had yet to finish. He tried going to Jason only to get a scoff and a 

"yeah right, go bother someone else, replacement."

He didn't want to even bother with Damian, knowing that the boy would just glare at him and insult him. So he went to Cass & Stephanie, who promptly kicked him out because they were having a "private girl moment", aka talking shit about everyone and everything. He didn't have the energy to do that today anyway. 

The next person he went to was Bruce, busy as always. 

"Hey Bruce?"

"Hm?"

"Can you help me with some CEO stuff?"

"......Sorry, Tim. I'm really busy with this paperwork, but I'll help you later, okay?"

".........yeah. Okay."

He would've helped Alfred cook, but that was the only personal time he got away from this mess of a family. Alfred deserved his personal time. 

After about two days of "No, Tim", and "Go away, Tim", or "Sorry, Tim, not right now", he was done. He went upstairs. Grabbed his bags, packed them, and walked down the stairs. 

'This is their last chance,' he thought to himself, walking just a little bit slower in hopes that someone, anyone, would notice and say "Tim, stop!", "Tim, don't leave!", "We love you, Tim!". But alas, no such luck. He reached the front doors without so much as a "Hey!". 

So he left. We walked down the ridiculously long road, down the ridiculously long street, and back to the beginning of his life. His nightmarish, sad, apparently lonely, life. 

Drake Manor. Cold and empty as always, but at least he didn't have to pretend to be alone. He actually was alone, now. Fuck. 

It took two days for Bruce to sit down at dinner and ask, 

"Where's Tim?"

This of course started a panic. Searching the manor from top to bottom, looking around town, asking his school friends about him. Nobody found anything. Just as Jason grabbed his helmet, wanting to go interrogate someone who wouldn't even know where his brother was, Dick's eyebrows shot up and he gasped. 

"What?!"

".....Drake Manor." Bruce nodded sadly, 

"He's probably there. Let's go."

They found him, they talked, Tim yelled, a lot of people cried, and they ended the long night with an even longer hug. They each said they were sorry and Bruce told him he would never be ignored again. 

'That therapy sounds pretty good right about now.' Tim though as he walked back to Wayne Manor, family surrounding him on all sides.
