DemonBirds

huh, you're right. I've written quite a few pieces for Dick and Jason but not much for the other two. That's my bad 😔

Thus here's some lil snippets/ hcs for them

Tim Drake

I think I mentioned before but due to his serpentine tendencies (aka being cold blooded) he frequently likes to submerge or lurk in pools. Either the one in the cave or the one in the mansion garden

Since he can't regulate his body temperature now, he relies on external devices/ solutions. Curls up in front of a fireplace, wearing a dozen layers of clothes in winter; takes ice baths and even goes shirtless during summer

His laptop is waterproofed so he can still continue his work even when he is soaking—they even have their own mini floatie (courtesy of Dick)

He's the most neutral when it comes to his demon form. He takes pride in it, will even allocate time to smooth or arrange his scales but he's not flaunting them every chance he gets. Certainly doesn't think of them badly—they are a part of him just like the rest of his body

He can unhinge his jaw. Jason has called it creepy whenever Tim yawns

He becomes irritated if he hasn't soaked for a while. His skin grows itchy and uncomfortable

Once ate a live mouse just to test a hypothesis. Will do so again

Just like actual snakes, his tail is predominantly muscle. He loves it when Bruce squeezes or grips him firmly

Also the one most calm when Bruce does a romantic gesture, simply smiling and a quiet thanks

Has slit pupils. Will intentionally let that part of his form show for a brief moment just to watch the confusion and disbelief in others

Still has a coffee addiction (he thanks whatever deity is listening his snake body did not mean he had to relinquish it)

The only one of the batbros who can 'turn off' his deal, so to speak. His own mind is messy enough but to share it with Batman of all people? Yeah, that's a migraine about to happen (literally. Hence why he learnt to shut off the mind link for reprieve)

However this leaves him feeling... sort of numb and disassociated. Even a sense of dreadful emptiness

So he usually only does it when he really, really needs the break. Or if he's already with Bruce. The proximity with his mate helps ease the discomfort

Damian Wayne

Damian has several habits that he inherit from his brothers, though a tad different

Like Dick, he is proud of his demon form and will flaunt it. Unlike the older man tho, Damian's is more of a display rather than a dance. Nightwing struts and performs, theatrical and occasionally sensual while Damian prefers to stalk, moving with measured and intense steps—but the purpose is the same, to show off for their mate

Like Jason, he also craves Bruce's affection yet is destabilised/ doesn't know what to do when they actually recieve it. Unlike Jason, Damian doesn't backtrack though. Both will wish and hope and pray to recieve even a moment of their love's attention—the difference is one will look away or close his eyes because he can't bare it while the other either stares right back or looks down in reverence and gratitude

Like Tim, he doesn't feel particularly threaten or the need to constantly reaffirm their bond with Bruce or so they believe. Unlike Tim, his ease comes from the fact he is satisfied with even the bare minimum. One wants to be the reason, the purpose, the light of Bruce's life—the other is happy to even be able to share it

Just like his love of animals, his draconic state led him to a love of shiny objects—yes, he's a hoarder. Even has an actual treasure chest filled with all sorts of things he's kept. Some have value—a necklace someone gave him as a joke, a so-called lucky coin, etc—but there's also a few that's worth lies more in their memories/ symbolism

A batarang his father gave him after the first time he won a spar, a button that came loose from one of Bruce's favourite suits, etc

He even has some items he got from his brothers—a feather, a bullet and a scale—though he'll never admit it

Whenever Bruce enter a space Damian was in first, the boy would immediately get to his feet and walk over

Unfortunately, he can not breathe fire

Has drawn several pieces where he is a knight and Bruce his king. (Many of them ending in heartbreak or unrequited/ unspoken love)

Bruce and Hal start dating early and Dick has a sticker in his chart that says “Does Not Play Well With Others”? Fuck yea. Dick is screaming obscenities at him, Hal is screaming them right back. He has genuine fucking beef with an eight year old. “Hal, he’s eight.” “Yeah, and he’s about to learn how aerodynamic that makes him. Hey fuckhead wanna see the sun up close?” “I’d like to see you try, wannabe glow stick!” “Oh you little rat fuck-” “Hal-” 

I can’t see Young Jason having problems with him but Adult Jason and Hal would genuinely draw each others blood. Hal is a Husband first and Step-Father second- he has no patience for Jason and his Red Hood vendetta and guns and anger. He understands where its coming from but he will not let Jason take his insecurities and unwarranted aggression out on him and Bruce, not a fucking chance. Until Jason takes off the mask and drops the guns, Hal is relentless and unflinching on that point. 

Tim and Hal have a rivalry based exclusively on their jealousy of each others Allotted Time Spent With Bruce. Hal is coming home from a long space mission and all he wants is to have Bruce wash his hair and then fall into bed together and not emerge for the next week. But when he staggers in the door Tim has accidentally fallen asleep on Bruce’s lap and Bruce cannot move if one of his kids is on top of him so Hal just has to settle for a quick kiss and go wash his own hair. Bruce is making Tim breakfast in the kitchen and Hal comes up behind him and wraps his arms around his waist, kisses his neck and drags him away. Hal and Bruce are sitting on the couch being Cute and Tim rushes in, wedges himself between them and starts talking to Bruce about his day while kicking Hal back. Hal has resorted to locking Tim in Air Jail with his ring to get some alone time with Bruce, and Tim has resorted to outside sources to keeping Hal occupied. Or rope. 

Hal and Damian honestly I can see them having Problems early on, but I think Damian is actually the first one of the kids to accept Hal. (if you saw my headcanon saying that Damian is the last one to accept Hal shhh no you didn't) Damian doesn't think he’s worthy of being with his Father and Hal thinks Damian is an arrogant little shit head. Dick and Hal vibes. He sticks out a foot to make Damian trip as he’s running past. Damian stabs him with the craft scissors when Bruce asks Hal to help him with a school project in a desperate effort of having Bonding Time. Its glorious

Hal and Duke are my favs. Duke is BatLantern’s love child and I will die on that hill. Duke is merciless and will not back down. Hal physically cannot stay away from a challenge. “You're so in love with him you look ridonkulous.” “Please never fucking breathe in my direction again.” 

Hal and Steph have a petty rivalry and it gets Serious a total of one time because Steph refuses to accept that she does actually care for Bruce Like That and it pisses Hal off because then that means she has no rights to hate on him or have this rivalry with him in the first place because she’s not his kid and he only has this relationship with bruce’s kids- but then after the Serious Argument it goes back to being fun. Prank wars and petty bullshit. “Who filled my entire apartment with water and made it an aquarium?” “I wonder who.” “Hal I cannot fucking get to school.” “Damn. should've thought of that before you bedazzled my ring.” “You bastard-” 

Hal and Cass have a one sided rivalry and by that I mean both of them think they're crazy. Hal thinks Cass would like to murder him and Cass think Hal hates her. Hal’s hanging out with Bruce and cuddling him and Cass just appears at the foot of the bed and Hal screams so loud the bats in the cave fly away and falls onto the floor before running away because clearly Cass wants to spend time with Bruce and who is he to get between them hahahaha- hes not that suicidal. Cass sees this and is like :( he hates me. Hal is just scared of her. But they get over it and its lovely. Cass gets two girl dads

Hal and Barbara are flinty eyed and don't have a rivalry they have genuine beef. Hal is doing a mission and all of a sudden the cameras that hes switched off are back on and now hes running for his life. Barbara is sitting in her living room reading a book and then suddenly shes two miles away without her wheelchair. Barbara hugs Bruce on his wedding day and mouths that she laced his piece of the wedding cake to Hal over his shoulder. Hal wraps a gag around her mouth with his ring during the “if anyone objects speak now or forever hold your peace” time comes.

I cant get over how Bruce's shirt is so tight and Damian's so loose. Since they are living together, I figure they would mix up each other's shirts a lot. Bruce wouldnt really care but Damian might get reminded of their size difference and feel annoyed lol

One of his kids is pissed? Oh, they must've fought with Bruce over something he did.

JL member not talking to Batman? Oh, Batman must've acted a bit too snobby for their liking.

Gala goes wrong? Fire starts? Champagne spilled? Even if it isn't Bruce, we assume it is. Even if it's laughed off, he still gets nasty looks.

He could defend himself but his person leads to many assumptions about his character. Maybe his kid wasn't allowed to eat McDonald's for the third time that day because they haven't had a proper meal in days. Maybe the JL member is pissed because Bruce had been right about something that could've cost them a mission or worse, a life, and doesn't want to admit it. Maybe the gala was sabotaged or Bruce happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

bruce finding out that jason is still a crybaby 🥹 jason act tough but if you push him a bit more in a personal arguments he'd start spilling fat tears down his cheeks and now you have an armful of sad boy in your arms. bruce forgot this fact every single time they fight.

Jason: What like making him retire? Hang up the cowl? I don't know about you Baby Bird but I don't think any of us have the ability to take Batman from Bruce.

Tim: Please, I'm not an idiot. I just meant more of a...peaceful...mostly permanent letting go...

Jason: ...

Jason: EUTHANASIA????

Tim: Well-

Jason: YOU WANT TO OLD YELLER BRUCE??? HE'S ONLY IN HIS 40/50s!!

Dick: Who wants to do WHAT to Bruce???

Tim: Just listen-

Jason: I knew you were cynical, but that's just down right murder Timothy. And trust me, I know murder.

Tim: Well would you rather have him go suffering? At the rate he's going he'll be in chronic pain the older he gets! I'm just saying maybe we should let him go now before that happens!

Damian: Let him go on a good day rather than a bad day. I have seen many a equine owners say this. I agree with Drake, we should not let Father suffer, he deserves to go peacefully.

Jason: Damian wha-

Dick: What the hell Tim. I mean you have a point, but still isn't it a little early to think about this? He's still got a few years left in him.

Jason: WHY ARE YOU AGREEING???

Tim: It's never too early to look at our options. I'd rather be prepped and ready than do it all last minute and risk messing up the timing.

Jason: WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BRUCE! BRUCE WAYNE! BATMAN! OUR FATHER?!?!

Dick: Expenses shouldn't be an issue, but we should also decide if we should do it ourselves or have a professional. We can make a fund for it just in case.

Jason: I'm dead. I died again and this is hell. Why am I the only one on Bruce's side here.

Tim: I'll get it set up. I'll make sure he doesn't know about it, I don't want him dreading about it.

Damian: Yes, we should try and enjoy this fickle time we have left with him.

Jason: That's it, I've finally gone insane.

he still feels like something is missing from when he's with bruce. tim likes it a little rough, that was established from day one and it's good but sometimes he wishes he would get the same sweet nothings whispered in his ear that his brothers get. the "my perfect boy" that makes dick whimper, the "such a good boy for me, aren't you?" that makes jason bite hard enough on bruce's shoulder to leave a mark.

Wonder Woman: -oh, and thank you to Red Robin for that piece of insight you gave us last week, it was very helpful.

Damian dressed up as Tim, has no idea what she's talking about: ....no worries.

Red Robin:

Red Robin: ....if you... sprinkle cinnamon on your window-ledges, then spiders aren't as likely to come into your house...?

Aquaman:

Wonder Woman:

Woman Woman: i was referring to the fact that you checked our suspect list and absolved Leonard Woodgate from suspicion due to his documented presence in Gotham during the incident.

Wonder Woman, glaring at him: Damian.

Red Robin: fuck.
