Illustration for chapter 2 of The Protector!

Featuring my inability to draw profiles and messing up the execution of Tim's design -Jason's was very fun to play with though.

"You need to put effort and energy into fixing them even if it feels like you're the only one trying and since you missed your formative wound care years and learnt to substitute professional help with violence ultimately shove your gotham sludge-dipped fingers deep in the wound, making everything worse for everybody involved and ultimately create a new brand of septicemia, invent a form of contamination via psychological damage that infects all the people you love because nobody in the family got vaccinated from the daddy issues bacteria, go into septic shock and die. Any questions?"

Jason: you know, Duke, you have to treat your wounds like you treat your daddy issues

Bruce*spawning out of nowhere with the 2nd stage of batglare*: …go on.

Jason: no. I sense that I’ve made a mistake

While I usually hc Olympics batfam as diverse in sports so everybody can kick ass, I think the image of the whole of US gymnastics team being just Robins is so funny. "And they're all related! At first we thought it was nepotism but Wayne is just THAT good at adopting talented little gymnasts. He catches them like Pokemons! In unrelated news, an onslaught of crime in Gotham and Bludhaven has-"

In the DC universe there's a petition with over five hundred thousand signatures asking Batman to let Robin represent the USA on the male gymnastic team

Wooo these concepts are precious

more dc magical girlies 💕🤭✨💘

Wayne Family YouTube channel except it's always this unhinged and often concerning

The batfam trauma candy salad would go absolutely insane.

Dick: Hi. I'm Dick Grayson and when I was 8 I watched my parents fall to their death in front of me, then I had to move away from everything I love and spend the rest of my life in some weird American city. And I brought the sour gummy worms.

Jason: This is so stupid- my mother used to kick me out when he drug dealer would come over so I didn't see her spending our very small amount of money on drugs.

Steph *off screen*: what did you bring?

Jason: nerds.

Cass: I was raised to be a weapon, a murderer. I brought peach rings.

Steph: I'm Steph and My dad was an alcoholic who thought he could go head to head with batman and outdo the riddler. And I brought Reese's pieces.

Tim: I'm Timothy Drake Wayne and I had left the house to try and find some guy before he killed my dad, just for him to kill my dad when I was gone. I brought sour rainbow strips.

Duke: My parents are in a mental ward, high on joker toxin. No one knows if they'll ever get better. And I got m&m's.

Damian: I am a highly trained assassin and-

Steph: cut. Cut. Damian. Civilian identities. Ok. Restart.

Damian: My mother randomly dropped me on some weird man's doorstep when I was ten. I brought rock candy.

Also mostly from my civilian AU, here are sports that I can see the batfam do as non professional hobbies. Kinda scared to post this ngl, I feel like some of y'all will not share the vision, but also it's really not that deep

Barbara: Okinawa Kobudo, she's especially proficient with the bo

Dick: juggling (will do it at any given moment, no warning)

Cass: dance, obviously ballet but I could see her doing other dances too, maybe contemporary jazz and acro-stuff, I just want her to have fun and explore all the possibilities.

Jason: maybe my biggest hear me out, figure skating. He has the balance, the flexibility, the creativity and sensitivity. When I used to play the piano, there would be this form of vulnerability and emotional drifting in synch with the music, when you pour your heart into creating and in return feel transformed, which is something that never happens when I write or draw although I love those things. I can definitely see Jason going to ice skate when things are messy in his head and getting into that sort of similar headspace.

Steph: Roller Derby

Tim: skateboarding

Duke: I'm thinking parkour (I see a lot of videos of parkour in sort of indoor gyms with bars and structures that looks really fun and challenging, that's what I'm picturing)

Damian: I don't picture civilian Damian doing that many sports but if I had to choose maybe karate? Open to suggestions

Harper: paintball/ laser tag (she designed the guns. If she likes you they're just lasers).

Kate: general conditioning & athleticism + male gymnastics, because that's an almost completely different discipline and she likes that one better

Bruce: generic conditioning/weight lifting lifting, gotta pick that body in peak condition to carry his colony of children on each arm. He's also proficient in bike football from that one time he went to Germany.

Luke: kite flying (with complex, beautiful kites of he designed himself)
