in general i dont think fandom tattoos are a bad idea but i think u need to at least give yourself like a two year buffer from the end of that piece of media before you commit. like if someone told me "yeah im obsessed with hazbin hotel rn so im gonna get a hazbin hotel tattoo" id be like woah okay maybe put a pin in that idea for later. but if someone told me "yeah i read homestuck in its prime and i still love it so im gonna get a homestuck tattoo" id be like well fair enough its been like eight years. if you still like it now you'll probably still have fond memories of it in 20 years. you do you.
@themiserablesmonth day 25: first glance
I just want people to think about what a canon Danny Fenton meeting a canon Jason Todd during the Under the Red Hood storyline
On one side we have a 2000’s midwestern teenager that definitely went through the DARE program in school that’s about as subtle as a brick
On the other we have full villain Jason, running a drug ring, willing to decapitate enough people to fill a duffel bag with heads to do it.
Now is there a point to Jason controlling crime instead of eliminating it? Yes. Does he have a moral code with an emphasis of reducing harm to children? Also yes
Would Danny have any understanding of moral ambiguity and not dive head first into a situation just one the basis of “drugs are bad though?” Of course not
That boy sees a dead guy walking and running a criminal empire and he’s picking a fight
Meanwhile Jason would be thinking of how to get this kid out of his way without kneecapping a 14-15yo
And the thing is?
Jason probably could just kneecap Danny, Danny is a dumbass that has to consciously turn his intangibility on, and Jason has better aim than the Fentons
And that’s unrelated to the plot to get Bruce to kill the Joker
Idk I just think it’s interesting to think about, especially without the fanon pit rage, because that’s all Jason. Like, don’t get me wrong, I like dead on main, but they’re not instantly clicking in this scenario
Idk what are your thoughts?
“Good god kid, I already fucking know drugs are bad!”
Ooooh~ Drink mix up? >.>
Because! Wes DID, in fact, get that dream job. HAS learned... after many, many hours of "beat about the head and shoulders with an ethics pamphlet by his great aunt", to keep his mouth shut! Family curse of Sight? WHAT family curse?
He doesn't see shit! Mind your business.
What're you? A cop?
Look, he sent Fenton a gift basket. He was a shitty, shitty "I have to be RIGHT and nothing else matters!" Stubborn lil asshole of a kid. He got better. Grew up. No one is there best Self during puberty. He DOES, in fact, regret it.
Which is WHY, he is deliberately ignoring Kent's terrible, awful, paper-thin, "who meee~?" Aw shucks BULLSHIT excuse of a disguise, like it isn't blatantly obvious he's Superman. Yep. Nothing to see here! Nothing but us chickens! Mmmmm, morning coffee! Delicious.
But see, here's the THING.
The Itty, bitty, teeny lil PROBLEM...
Wes grew up in Amity "Totally Not Supernatural Hotspot For Centuries" Park. He is... to put it mildly, genetically? A freak. His biology is ALL fucked up. Everyone's is. And it WAS NOT made better by the Fenton's playing fast and loose with their hell basement. The Ectoplasmic NUKE that was that portal.
There is a REASON his morning coffee? Is COVERED. Contained. Fenton brand, LEAD LINED, specialty cups. The sort that can't be EATEN from the inside out. Eroded after a few uses. They're ugly as sin, but they work. He even ordered a few covers from Star's etsy shop. (Apparently he wasn't the only one who hated how ugly they looked. Good for her though, he heard it was doing well.)
He SAYS this? 'Cause his morning brew is less... straight COFFEE... and more... how to put this? A blend? Brew? Potion, really. Like an energy drink. From hell. Or, partially at least, the Zone. It's the combination of roots, seeds, and a few dried berries. Kinda like a tea, actually!
Tasty. Adds this nice fruity, warmth. A zing. Goes GREAT with the coffee. And it really perks you up... if you are Limnal. If you AREN'T? It'll desolve your esophagus like swallowing straight acid. And that's not TOUCHING the... witch-y, more Seer specific bit of the blend.
That stuff is medicinal. You know, "calm the mind" and "mental clarity". That sorta thing. With a good ol helping of "don't blurt out everyone's secrets, you spacey bitch! For the love of God, those are our INSIDE THOUGHTS!". Which? Really helpful! Infinitely less likely to get decked. It's a family staple.
Poisonous, though.
They're fine cause they've basically developed an immunity to that part, but like? Wouldn't recommend. It's why he NEVER shares his drinks. Food? On occasion. If he PLANS it and knows not to add and interesting spices. But DRINKS? Never. Weston family brews are basically NEVER safe.
Which? Begs the Very Important Question ™!
Who's Coffee Is This?
Cause it SURE AS FUCK AINT HIS!
You never realize quite how fast you can go from "completely calm and kinda sleepy" to "bomb strapped to my chest, primal panic AWAKE" until it happens to you. His coffee was ON HIS DESK. People have passed by. He talked to them. Cups put down and picked up. Lazy early morning. He doesn't even register, really, as his chair crashes to the ground.
He's shouting.
People confused. They don't realize yet. His head whips around, looking for that distinct cover. Before it's too late. Before someone takes that fatal sip. He spots it. Bolting from his desk. Crashing through coworkers, over desks. Chaos and outrage. "It's 'just' coffee!" They cry.
Kent turns, confused. Pretending. Raises his (HIS! Oh god!) cup to his lips, unknowing. Wes SCREAMS a warning. But he doesn't listen. "It's 'just' coffee" They never listen. Curse of Cassandra. God's damn it. This is why his family fucking CONVERTED!
He TACKLES the man of steel.
RIPS his cup away from him, knows his eyes are frantic. How much have you had?! Spit it out! Wes voice ECHOES in the sudden silence. I'm a META, Kent! It could KILL YOU!
And oh, Oh NOW they get it. Or perhaps it is the burn in his mouth that finally registers. He rolls, spits oil slick nebulae that eat away the floor. There is blood mixed within it. It took mere moments. Superman stares, transfixed and horrified, as Wes shakes. He... he should probably get off of him.
He'll move in a moment.
When his legs no longer feel weak from terror.
The news room is in chaos. Lane kneeling by her husband, Perry trying to do damage control. He... he's probably gonna lose his job, isn't he? Wes wants to cry. Protection laws only go so far, after all. And warning his boss about his dietary needs means jack shit, after an incident like this. Beloved as Kent is. Not that anyone likely believed him.
They never do.
And now he's nearly killed Superman.
Bout to leave for work but this hit the brain after reading a twin fic on here:
Danny is Damien’s twin, but it’s fraternal. Damien only knows his sister and has mourned quietly for her.
Danny, trans, does his life and death in Illinois as per usual. There’s some ghost-meeting with Phantom for whatever but Danny’s just got eyes for his brother and Damien is like — but I don’t have a brother, I have a sister named ______. Danny’s like, yeah, no, I’m a guy, but good news, you gained a(couple)nother sister(s)!
Why didn’t Danny try find him? Idk, that could go many ways like memory issues/self-suppression due to ✨trauma✨ and by the time he gets it and goes to get research done he finds Damien died (Talia and the Clone) and was waiting/searching for his ghost while he’s scrambling with his halfa-status and it’s a whole wreck until finally —
dead tired #2
One night stand baby misunderstanding. trans! Danny and deaged Elle/Dani and dan. I have seen this idea with jazz and Jason but I'm doing it with Danny and Tim.
Tim meets Danny dring the time quest request to find Bruce. Tim ends up going to Amity Park and meets Danny. The two of them end up falling into bed together and not long after Danny has to save Elle from destabilizing as well as Dan due to a Vlad plot.
Danny later ends up in Gotham for school and runs into Tim. Tim does the math for the kids and realizes something. I don't think he would flat out ask if the kids are his but I do think there is very much a back and forth between the mix signals of whether the kids are actually his, This is especially funny if Tim doesn't know that Danny is Phantom or any of the ghost stuff in Danny's life.
This can go two ways: the kids are actually Tim's due to Danny having the material in his system when he stabilizes the kids( reverting back to core and incubating and Danny situation) or For the kids are not his and it's not cleared up until a lot later.
Dp x Dc prompt #1
Danny doesn’t know how Vlad managed to convince his parents to let him take Danny with him to some fancy gala in Gotham, but he does know he’s gonna be the biggest menace he can be to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
The moment they entered the place the gala was held, Danny’s eyes landed on the chandelier on the ceiling in de middle of the room.
Bingo.
What Danny had been expecting was something along the lines of him embarrassing Vlad, making Vlad angry, and/or getting kicked out when the chandelier inevitably crashed to the ground cause they weren’t made to hold his weight.
What Danny hadn’t been expecting was for the chandelier to be heavily reinforced and not move an inch when he hung on there upside down, nor had he expected to be joined up there by a guy his age that seemed to be bursting with excitement as he stared at Danny from his place upside down on the chandelier.
“Ohmygodohmygodohmygod.” Dick breathed, staring at the chandelier with uncontrolled excitement. He had been standing next to Bruce, bored out of his mind as he talked to some millionaire with a Russian name that he didn’t care about. He slipped away from Bruce without a word to him or Masters, and made his way to the center of the grand staircase where the chandelier was. Of course, Bruce had the chandelier reinforced seven years ago with steel beams strong enough to support Superman, so the chandelier wasn’t swinging while the teen played on it, but the dangling diamonds were swinging around, so it wasn’t a complete loss.
He glanced back at Bruce before climbing the stairs and jumping off of the railing to launch himself into the chandelier. The other teen stared at him with wide, gorgeous blue eyes. They introduced themselves, and then came up with a plan to annoy Bruce and Vlad.
Danny hung upside down from the chandelier as he and Dick re-enacted the scene from the Lion King. Dick made himself known inside the chandelier, and yelled out loudly, “LONG LIVE THE KING!” He then shoved Danny out of the chandelier, but neither teen had realized it was over a ten foot drop to the ground.
Danny was fine, of course. After the collective gasp from the partygoers, Danny angled his body and managed to catch himself on the guardrail to the stairs.
“DAMNIT, DANIEL!” Vlad roared, stomping over to them. “ONE NIGHT! I ASKED FOR ONE NIGHT WHERE YOU WOULDN’T EMBARRASS ME!”
“You really should’ve thought about that before you invited me.” Danny deadpanned, angling his body to look at Dick in the chandelier. “I’m coming back up!”
Danny then climbed on top of the railing and did a perfect backflip into Dick’s outstretched hands, who pulled him into the chandelier.
Mission accomplished.
This backfires spectacularly for Danny because now in Bruce’s eyes Dick has made a “normal” civilian friend to hang out with. Dick not only complained less about that gala, but is excited to see if the boy comes to the next one. As much of a headache as those two are together it is worth it to see Dick happy. And their mischief comes with a side benefit that the creepier old rich people are less tempted to try talking to the boys.
The invitations Vlad is getting now have a personal note that Danny is invited as well. Vlad is ecstatic who this will increase his reputation among the elite and potential business deals with Mr Wayne.
As for the ship I prefer keeping things platonic. There aren’t enough examples of just good friends in media these days.
I desperately need Bruce and Vlad to both think Danny and Dick respectively are normal.
Like of course Vlad has no idea about Robin, but Bruce somehow doesn’t figure out about Phantom for an embarrassingly long time. Dick and Danny either figure out or share IDs at some point, but the adults remain completely in the dark.
Also same, I definitely prefer platonic relationships.
Bruce doesn’t find out Danny is Phantom until after Dick has invited Danny to join the Teen Titans. (Vlad is very upset by this, he still wants Danny to come work with him.) The Amity Park hero Phantom is on the team for about a year before they have to work with the JLA for something.
Phantom acts familiar with Batman and Bruce just goes with it, unwilling to say he doesn’t know this kid that Clearly Knows him, until Danny calls their enemy a fruitloop and then he Knows. It’s Dick’s Gala Buddy (tm). Now he is mourning Dick having a nice, normal, civilian, friend.
It took until reading @risingmoonyue ‘s reblog for me to go back and see that it said ‘the other teen’. Now I’m too deep and I like Older Dick making friends with a Teen Danny through this and them basically being on the same wavelength
Damian is de-aged to a baby and lost in Gotham. A magic user hit him with some kind of spell. His legs don’t work as well and he has trouble walking. That’s when a man appears and squats down with a tilt of his head.
“Yea, you are definitely not supposed to be out here, little guy.”
Damian glares at the man, early twenties, stubble along his jaw, ragged clothes, and dark bags under his eyes.
The man turns his head to look at the brick wall.
“Are you sure?”
And now he was talking to a wall. Curses. Of course he would be found by a crazy person.
Danny thought he was applying to be a science teacher at Gotham Academy but when he gets there, he's introduced to everyone as their new principal instead. Welp guess it's time to commit to the bit while also making Mr. Lancer proud.
Some days Danny hated his new job.
It wasn’t the job itself he hated, no, it was the parents.
The parents of Gotham Academy came in two distinct flavors. The parents who bought their way into the academy and believed their children were above the rules or the parents of children who got in on scholarship who believed their children could do no wrong.
And who was the sad sack who had to deal with the parents.
You guessed it the Principal.
So every time there was any kind of “incident”, Danny was stuck having to listen to the parents of everyone involved argue with him about how their child is obviously innocent and that he is somehow prejudice against them. And if Danny couldn’t figure out a way to smooth all the ruffled feathers then the lawyers got involved. Typically Danny had Paulina eviscerate the lawyers but the parents were not so easy to get rid of.
Danny had a distinct feeling he will need to call Paulina in soon if the current “incident” was any indication.
Apparently his usual suspects had decided that harassing their newest scholarship student had been a “fun” idea, an idea that Mr. Thomas had taken exception to, which somehow lead to all of his usual suspects needing medical treatment and their parents screaming for blood.
The only thing that was preventing the parents from insisting assault charges be pressed against Mr. Thomas was the fact that Danny insisted that Mr. Thomas’s guardian be present before the meeting started.
God he hoped Mr. Thomas’s guardian got there soon.
Let's make it worse: Danny is 16 and on the run from his parents and the GIW. He's homeless and gotham and in desperate need of a job, so he applies for shits and giggles. He's horrified when he gets the job.
Danny: This can't be legal! Some of these kids are older than me!
School board: your right! This isn't legal, this is Gotham. Your the only person who applied. Good luck with the responsibilities! And the rogues!
Danny:😱
Danny then has to get a new assistent and hires Dani!
I’m just imagining every time a parent or lawyer comes in they have to do a double take because: why is there a child working as the head of the school???
And then they just bulldoze through it because if it’s a kid, they can take advantage of it, but Danny “I will cause problems” Fenton is not deterred since he’s spent his whole life with his parents, Jazz, ghosts, and the entirety of whatever the hell Amity Park is.
He’s frustrated, of course, and annoyed. It gets tiring having to deal with entitlement all the time. But he’s also a sassy ass teenager who applied for a job for shits and giggles, saw the shit show that was the school the same way he saw the shit show that was ghosts wrecking havoc, squinted at it and said “Is anyone gonna fix that?” and then made it his own problem.
He was so determined that he actually started taking advice from a few ghosts and implementing it straight into the school. And though some of the advice was… unorthodox, it worked out really well!
Some of the new policies include -
emergency antidotes throughout the school and in each classroom first aid kit.
A gas mask following [insert standards/regulation here] is now a required part of the school uniform - customization in the form of paint pens, sharpies, and stick on rhinestones is permitted
He gets rid of the presidential fitness test and replaces it with Amity Park survival training.
For one week, he brings in other Amity Parkers to handle their P.E., and by the end of the week all the students know how to board a pirate ship from a blimp and fight through a skeleton army.
Also what are you all talking about? He's CLEARLY not an adolescent boy! He is a fully grown adult man! See? This fake beard and "Lancer style" gut, which is in fact a pillow he shoved in his ugly Adult(tm) suit jacket, PROVES that he is? In fact? Probably AT LEAST 40!
And he's totally not frantically texting his friends to raid the teachers lounge back in Amity for their teaching supplies! Ha ha whaaaaat? Why would HE need those screen shots? Pshhhh. Silly! *cold sweat*
......h-he likes coffee and taxes.
............because he is Old, you see.
An Adult.
DP x DC prompt [7]
After biting Danny, vampire king Dick gleefully tells him that he now belongs to him, seeing as his bite made him his thrall.
However, beings of the Infinite Realms operate on a lot of Fae rules, and Danny Uno-Reverse’s Dick by telling him that he must now serve him because he ate from him without his permission.
Neither are willing to give up so they are going to have to find some occult lawyer to figure this out.
We need to talk about the worst thing about making AUs....
The fact that then when you inevitably think about crossovers you don't want the crossover with the canon you want it with your specific AU. Your brain worms, your circus, but THEN WHAT?
Oh, yeah, to understand this crossover you need to go read this entirely different fic/series? Girl help 😭 you can't do that
you can if youre not a coward
I will gain the bare minimum knowledge of a fandom through crossovers and when I talk to someone in that fandom I have to be like ‘real or not real’ with events or mannerisms/character personalities or whatever
Fun comes in when it’s such a big fandom that they actually don’t know and we can find out and disregard it together!
DCxDP Crack Prompt
Danny is the Ghost King apparent. What he doesn't know, is that anyone who has died and come back to life is inexplicably drawn to him. Not necessarily in a sexual way, more like they subconsciously want to bask in his presence. And coming back from the dead applies to a lot of heroes. Basically, Danny is a catnip mouse tossed into a room full of bored cats.
Now the Danny gets dragged to a gala and meets the Bats is a classic setup, but also consider:
Danny at a tech convention, with various undercover heroes there to keep an eye out for potential mad scientists or inventions that supervillains might want to steal.
Adult Danny as the newest engineering hire on the Watchtower.
Tourist Danny at the Hall of Justice.
The heroes trying to figure out why the hell Ra's/Vandal Savage etc. are suddenly so interested in this random teenager.
Paramedic/firefighter etc. Danny at a disaster scene.
Danny at a superhero fan convention, where some heroes are present for a meet and greet/panel etc.
Meanwhile Danny is trying to figure out why he's suddenly so popular and any hero who hasn't died is trying to figure out wtf is wrong with everyone around them.
Fuck it Prompt Idea 2 free to the public: Batkid of choice is kidnapped, the kidnappers call to place ransom but dial the wrong number and reach RetiredHero!Danny who is either living in Gotham or passing through.
Can be you adult or actually old enough to be the batkid’s dad
Kidnappers: We have your kid.
Danny: which one? (100% responding on meme reflex)
The kidnappers respond and let the kid say whatever and Danny realizes this is an actual problem.
Cue Danny using the help of Gotham’s network of shades and spirits to track down the location they’re being held at and kicking ass.
Batkid: you’re not my B…?
Danny: no but I am the one they called. Let’s get you home.
I think it works beat if its little Dick, freshly adopted Jason, or newly Robin!Tim. If Damian, having a handful of Bats show up just as Danny is untying him could be hilarious.
Batman: who are you?
Damian who is throughly impressed by how this man not only located his whereabouts but took out six armed men as easy as breathing in a fighting style akin to an angered raccoon: Batman this is my other Father. He came to my rescue as soon as he was informed of my capture.
Danny shrugging: as you do.
Damian, once he accepts his parents aren’t getting back together (it took him three days) began to push for his father to get with Danny.
Because obviously Danny is the only one worthy of his father don’t you GET IT, Grayson???
Yes yes!!
“Grayson you do not understand. He is not only a skilled warrior, but a magnificent tactician. Just this morning I overheard him assist Timothy with his plan against the corrupt board members of WE. It was ruthless, swift, and untraceable in execution.” Pause. “It used laws so obscure I had to triple check they actually existed.”
“D-do they?”
“Yes.”
“I still think he should marry Clark.”
“You’re allowed to hold incorrect opinions. Please excuse me I have work to do. Timothy has agreed to assist me with a ‘Modified Parent Trap’ as he called it.”
“…wait since when do you call him Timothy?”
“… You should ‘hang out’ with Danny. Perhaps then you will understand better.”
I love the idea of Damian just hanging onto Danny. Like FINALLY there's someone that understands that he was grown to be an assassin and is still trying to learn and it growing!
The thought of Danny and Damian sparing and Danny teaching Damien the best ways to take someone down, not only non-lethally but as terrifying as possible.
Just Damien showing Jon his new father and explaining the master plan Tim and him and created and Jon being ready to help his friend get a new dad!
I like the idea of Damien pushing his siblings to spend time with Danny and each one being given love and care that they need!
Duke!
He is no longer the only one in the family that has powers! Hell, Danny could probably find a way to help him train his abilities better. And since Duke is a student in college, I can see Danny being the one to remind him to sleep and take care of himself in between studying. Duke talking to Danny about how he misses his parents but how he does love his new family, he just wants support during the day. I can see Uncle Tucker being Duke's eye in the sky!
Jason!
He's a bit more obvious but I like the head cannon that Jason is practically a baby ghost. I love the idea of Danny and Jason figuring out Jason's powers and abilities and how to control them. I can see Danny finally getting Jason to actually talk to Bruce and the two having a plan in place to get to having a better relationship.
I JUST REALLY LIKE BABA DANNY
i would love this especially if its like a small Danny who didn't get the Fenton growth spurt™ but instead is more Tim size and is like late 30's
i like to believe he would still have a hero suit but more casual looking like a jacket over his (now modified) hazmat suit

Yooo!! That is bangin!!! ->link<- for mobile users.
Stan a Short King Danny. Just barely taller than Tim at 5’7” same as Barbara. Him standing next to 6’2” Bruce is so funny especially since Danny is more lean with a runner/swimmer build.
Bruce learns being manhandled by this Twunk who’s a head shorter than him is… well… something not meant to be discussed around children.
Their first spar leaves Bruce pinned to the mat and error processing power offline. It’s a moment straight out of an action movie where the protag gets his ass kicked by the love interest and she’s hovering over him.
He’s starting to see the appeal in keeping this man close.
For intel purposes of course.
It has nothing to do with the vigorous workout from the spar or how Danny pulls him to his feet like it’s hardly an effort even while breathing hard and sweating.
Damian takes notes on what clothes seem to visually appeal to his Father most. The next time there is a gala he begs Danny to go.
Damian: Baba, please. I will stab someone if I am deprived of quality conversation. I will get your suit. You just need to attend a fitting and arrive in time!
Danny who melts when the kids call him Dad or Baba.
Danny:... You win this round gremlin. Yes I will attend.
Damian designs the most flattering suit Danny has ever worn. It is perfectly tailored to Bruce's preferences. Bruce full on stumbles when he catches sight of him. Just big ol "I'm gay send help" moment.
Damian is incredibly smug. Tim had worked on Danny's preferences. Meaning that Danny has a similar reaction. In seeing Bruce.. They share a fist bump and smirk at their siblings.
Danny showed up one day bc a kid needed him and went along with the joke for laughs and next thing he knows he's attending all these family functions and being called "Baba" because the younger kids decided he's cool and want him to be their dad and their grandpa keeps undermining their actual dad's authority to allow him to be there
Bruce is jealous. None of his children ever call him "dad" and after one day Damian has bestowed him the title of "baba". His three youngest (yes, even Jason) spend almost more time with Danny and hang out at Danny's apartment more than at any of Bruce's properties
Danny is also undoing all his hard work instilling proper discipline! The man fights like he grew up alone in the wilderness and is teaching his kids and not-kids some of those moves. His idea of chemistry is eyeballing it. Duke had a solution blow up in his face down in the cave the other day because he was "doing it like Danny showed him"!
Thank god for Dick, at least someone is on Bruce's side. And Cass approves of Danny but she doesnt seek him out much. Same with Barbara. Bruce had Tim for a while until Uncle Tucker stopped by for a visit and now he's pro-Danny solely for Uncle Tucker privileges. He had Duke until Duke's second meeting with Danny. Steph has been pro-Danny and vocal about it since day 1 (like Damian and Jason) but she gets super attached to Aunt Sam and her stories and Steph calls her once a week and they chat for like a hour. She only ever texts Bruce! Not to mention Jason, who Bruce is lucky to even see twice a month from across a rooftop, texts Danny everyday and will only come to family things if Danny is there
One day the kids start talking about a sister named "Dani" and Bruce honestly thinks he forgot about a child until he finds out she's Danny's daughter (Danny always calls her his "mirror-daughter", whatever that means. It probably has to do with the reason they're so close in age. Bruce suspects time travel). Thats how far Danny has managed to wheedle his way into Bruce's life! Steph asked to take the jet so she could go visit Aunt Jazz with Danny and Dani next month. Tim and Duke went to visit Gran and Gramps last week. Bruce has become a divorced dad without his consent and without the actual marriage part
The only thing that makes this all bearable is the fact even though Danny is always smirking Bruce does enjoy looking at his smile. And the fact the media havent gotten involved

Damian takes notes on what clothes seem to visually appeal to his Father most. The next time there is a gala he begs Danny to go.
Damian: Baba, please. I will stab someone if I am deprived of quality conversation. I will get your suit. You just need to attend a fitting and arrive in time!
Danny who melts when the kids call him Dad or Baba.
Danny:... You win this round gremlin. Yes I will attend.
Damian designs the most flattering suit Danny has ever worn. It is perfectly tailored to Bruce's preferences. Bruce full on stumbles when he catches sight of him. Just big ol "I'm gay send help" moment.
Damian is incredibly smug. Tim had worked on Danny's preferences. Meaning that Danny has a similar reaction. In seeing Bruce.. They share a fist bump and smirk at their siblings.
Danny showed up one day bc a kid needed him and went along with the joke for laughs and next thing he knows he's attending all these family functions and being called "Baba" because the younger kids decided he's cool and want him to be their dad and their grandpa keeps undermining their actual dad's authority to allow him to be there
Bruce is jealous. None of his children ever call him "dad" and after one day Damian has bestowed him the title of "baba". His three youngest (yes, even Jason) spend almost more time with Danny and hang out at Danny's apartment more than at any of Bruce's properties
Danny is also undoing all his hard work instilling proper discipline! The man fights like he grew up alone in the wilderness and is teaching his kids and not-kids some of those moves. His idea of chemistry is eyeballing it. Duke had a solution blow up in his face down in the cave the other day because he was "doing it like Danny showed him"!
Thank god for Dick, at least someone is on Bruce's side. And Cass approves of Danny but she doesnt seek him out much. Same with Barbara. Bruce had Tim for a while until Uncle Tucker stopped by for a visit and now he's pro-Danny solely for Uncle Tucker privileges. He had Duke until Duke's second meeting with Danny. Steph has been pro-Danny and vocal about it since day 1 (like Damian and Jason) but she gets super attached to Aunt Sam and her stories and Steph calls her once a week and they chat for like a hour. She only ever texts Bruce! Not to mention Jason, who Bruce is lucky to even see twice a month from across a rooftop, texts Danny everyday and will only come to family things if Danny is there
One day the kids start talking about a sister named "Dani" and Bruce honestly thinks he forgot about a child until he finds out she's Danny's daughter (Danny always calls her his "mirror-daughter", whatever that means. It probably has to do with the reason they're so close in age. Bruce suspects time travel). Thats how far Danny has managed to wheedle his way into Bruce's life! Steph asked to take the jet so she could go visit Aunt Jazz with Danny and Dani next month. Tim and Duke went to visit Gran and Gramps last week. Bruce has become a divorced dad without his consent and without the actual marriage part
The only thing that makes this all bearable is the fact even though Danny is always smirking Bruce does enjoy looking at his smile. And the fact the media havent gotten involved
