if i get more than 5 hours i feel lazy. i am so used to powernaps and having to cover for the others while also juggling my own shift and schoolwork and friends. i feel like i need to be doing something or bad things will happen and it will be my fault.

i keep staying up late, waiting for the sounds of the others coming home and trying to occupy myself. but they never come home. it's just me. no one to sneak into my bed because they're too proud to admit they have mightmares. no one to check on me every hour to make sure i haven't gone missing. no one to steal my cereal in the morning and french fries at dinner. no one to shake his head in pretend annoyance when i try to clean up after meals. no one to teach me ballet or painting or programming or how to clean a gun. no one to pretend to care about me.

i knew i wasnt one of them. i told myself not to get used to it. and here i am. alone. and missing it.

least b isnt dragging me to those formal events anymore. silver lining.

well as stated previously bman never abused his kids. sure, he was dumb sometimes and could be a jerk. he didn't like being wrong and had no idea how to have emotions. but he cared about us.

second, i think I've complained about this before but people think I'm the "normal one". im usually the straight man in fancontent and ??? hello???? did you READ my comics??? im just as weird as the rest of em, im just (somewhat) more subtle about it. like, yeah at first it took me a bit to adjust to their system but man stop trying to make me boring.

ps.i ate a blue donut today 🔵

lmao lets go back into vigilantism chat itll go great

(ngl i might break bmans no killing rule if i became a vigilante again. some of these people, man.)

- duke thomas, the coolest robin (technically i was a robin soooo)

well. the bats gave each other a lot of nicknames. i think jason was the first person to give me a proper nickname (it mightve been narrows??), opening the metaphorical floodgates. its kinda funny, we only use our actual names if were having a Serious Discussion:tm:. or if youre damian.

damian just called me thomas, though i think he was getting closer to using my first name. idk, i feel like we got along the easiest.

so my nicknames... lets see. nightlight, shrimp, narrows, daw, sunshine, perfect child, sunny, bruces favourite who can do no wrong, dayshift, mothman, tommy, lantern, flashlight.. those are just the ones i can list off the top of my head. the list goes on.

barring the obvious things that is really not my place to comment on (thats jasons villian arc, not mine), he is CONVINCED that i am some sort of INNOCENT GOLDEN CHILD.

which on one hand means i can get away with shit more than anyone else (common tim L). i could probably kill a man in cold blood (i grow closer every day) and hed blame jason or something. which, lmao, but also. hello?

on the other hand it is also DETRIMENTAL to my reputation and UNDERVALUING all the HARD WORK i put into causing problems on purpose. i literally joined an uprising before he took me under his (night)wing.

i am working as hard as anyone else in this household and i deserve to be RESPECTED💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🗣🗣

ps. all dc ppl, if you or a loved one has been forced to interact with bruce wayne in any capacity, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

so i think one of the worst things about joining the waynes was the fucking adults. EVERY TIME i go on social media and some celebrity gossip comes up SOMEONE is talking about how bruce and my older siblings are attractive. traumatizing. especially in the vigilante fandom spaces my GOD they were DEGENERATES. absolutely horrendous. i tried so hard to avoid the hornyposting but it was everywhere. one of the dangers of fucking around in the batfan spaces.
