Ok ok ok: So when Cass first came to the family their where some problems, like when before going to a gala or anything Cass struggled to make herself presentable she was new to do this and it was stressful, yeah Alfred could help with the dresses and sometimes Barbara could come by but not often. Bruce noticed this and decided to do something, he talked to Diana, to Dinah, to Mari McCabe, to anyone who could help and learned how to do Cass’s make-up and hair. At first it was kinda awkward as Bruce is not a professional stylist and it was weird for Cass to have her dad do her hair, but with time they got used to it. After a couple times it became almost routine not just for Gala’s and fancy events but just for whenever, Bruce sitting on a chair in the bathroom as Cass sits on a little stool, Bruce with bobby pins in his mouth and scrunchies around his wrist, he is actually pretty good at it and sometimes people even asked Cass who did her hair and she never knows what to say. Its not commonly known but its also not a well kept secret, Hal didn’t believe it when Barry told him until Bruce confirmed it. At this point its a tradition and Cass and Bruce almost feel weird when they go to a gala without doing it.

Ok so here is a headcanon that I have, whenever he patrols with Jason or they are just hanging out Dick packs a copy of Maya Angelou poems. It’s an old copy Dick bought it for Jason a year before his death and it’s pretty beaten up. The reason why he carries it is because sometimes Jason just can’t take it anymore the world overwhelms him and he collapses in on himself, and in those moments Dick leans Jason against him and reads him the poems, he reads them rhythmically and with emphasis. It grounds Jason reminds him of the time before reminds him that people care about him, reminds him that even at his weakest he is not alone.
