The batkids instas and snapchats would be wild because they can get shots from on top of roofs/buildings. Also they have a lot of photos of the batfam members too?? Like are they friends with the bats or something?? How did they get a picture of nightwing shoving a hotdog in his mouth?? They got a selfie with Red Robin?? How???
Bruce really doesn’t think about the consequences of getting a GREAT DANE for Damian until it comes time to bath him. Because Damian is only a few inches taller than Titus at this point.
Damian insists on doing it himself and Bruce is kinda bummed because he kinda wanted to bond with him over this, but is proud Damian is taking responsibility.
An hour later Damian is standing in front of his desk reeking of wet dog and soaked to the bone. “Father, I need help.” He says in the most tired voice Bruce’s ever heard from him.
By the end of it, they’re both sopping wet, covered in dog shampoo, and utterly exhausted. Alfred takes pity on them and doesn’t make them clean the bathroom too.
I loved every second animating that hug and I’m very proud of how it turned out! Hope all y’all feel the same!! I’ve watched it like a thousand times now so cute!
I’m also free from school! And have most of this comic finished now!
Context:
The batfam are trying to pick their jaws off the floor. What do you mean no screaming match, no “your not my real father”, no “your benched until your 30”??? How did this end with permission to patrol? And a HUG?? And a “thanks dad”??????? That doesn’t happen, someone an imposter or mind controlled because there is no way.
Apparently (ha! A-parent-ly) there is a way when both parties have a crumb of emotional intelligence and go to therapy. Absolutely shocking. To be fair Red Hood wasn’t expecting the hug either (but he is starting to get used to them).
