Batfam disorder/chronic illness headcanons that I haven't seen/seen enough of/I personally think are interesting to play with
Narcoleptic!Tim Drake who is tired all the time. No matter how hard he tries, he can't stay awake super well. The family finds him in the WEIRDEST places just taking a nap. In an alley mid-patrol, folded over on his motorcycle. Just laying on the dining room floor. In the bathroom half (but mostly) dressed after showering. Steph, Duke, Cass, and him are training one day and after one of them knocks him on his ass, he's like "Give me a sec." and within the span of 2 minutes he's out. They freak out for a second thinking he was knocked unconscious but he's just snoozing.
Kleptomaniacal!Jason. It's a little bit of a hold over from when he was homeless. He would take what he needed. After being adopted by Bruce it became less of a thing of need, but he chased the adrenaline. When Jason broke down to Bruce about it (scared that Bruce would kick him out for being bad), he sat Jason down and tried to figure out how to help since he had the means to buy anything Jason could have wanted or needed. They worked out a deal that instead of just taking it, he had to hide it in BRUCE'S pockets without B noticing. Before check-out, he'd always empty his pockets and ask Jason if there was anything he actually would want.
EDS!Dick. I know that it's a more common hc, but I'm an EDS-haver and I'm gonna project the fuck onto him. Dick being in some amount of pain all the time. Dick being hyper aware of how "normal people" move and what their limits are. He tries to keep himself within normal ranges since those are more supportive, but why can't he stand with his knees locked if it's more comfortable? Why can't he just pop his shoulder out a little to get out of restraints? He knows how to put it back in!
Obsessive compulsive!Damian who was raised to expect punishment if he didn't do everything perfectly. He knows that he's no longer in that situation, but trauma causes weird things to happen. He will pick at imperfections both metaphorically and physically. If he doesn't do something correctly the first time, he rushes to try again to make sure he does it correctly. It takes a lot of work to break him out of the habit of beating himself up over it.
Duke who gets chronic migraines as a result of his powers. You're telling me that he's going to Not get a migraine from Being light? What do you think the visor is for? He curls up in bed with black out curtains drawn while he waits to be able to move again. Alfred slips in with a bottle of Excedrin, water, and a light snack and just silently leaves after Duke groans in thanks.
Cass who gets vocal fatigue. She hates that it happens, but if she talks too much her vocal chords get TIRED. She still knows sign and it helps her communicate but it's FRUSTRATING. It's not that she doesn't want to talk, she just can't. It's tough on her physically and emotionally.
