Damian Wayne: Robin Appreciation 2019

[dietrich]

Yeah, I figured that. But you sounded as if it were actually something wrong with depicting sexual content. And I want to point out that there are fics (not the most of them, but they exist) that are very good and depict sexual content. Also, I sounded a bit as if it were something wrong then, when I talked about the site. This way I can be more clear.

I know some people avoid that, also some people (not few) avoid slash; that's why I usually mention the target, contents and ships in my lists. I know that what it's fine for me, may not be for others. But I wouldn't say that having sexual scenes implies automatically that a fic doesn't have an actual engaging story, too. It happens with published literature too. They are just elements in a plot, unless they are just porn and nothing more. And yep, there is a lot of that there too. But it's not all, it's about the 65%, at least in the batfandom. Now, out of that percentage, most is male on male, which is ridiculous (one could guess it would be straight mostly, but nope). Some fans are weird.

In any case, for safe fics, especially ones with Damian as a MC, fanfiction is a better place, yeah. I have a pair in my AO3 bookmarks that are safe, too. I'll share them here if you guys want them, once I post the next list in our Jason thread. As you can guess, they also have Jason as a MC. But all but one (that I'm not to post here) are safe and have a Damian very in character and in his age, if I recall correctly.

I don't have any link with Dami and Jon adventuries, though. I'm sorry.

Personally any sexual content turns me off. They are brothers. Damian is underage and Tim is barely legal if he is legal.

Fans could just write non sexual stuff rather than trying to scratch their sexual itch with these characters but each to their own so long as everyone is legal I guess fans are free to do whatever. I've heard the aged up excuse still not okay with it. It just feels wrong pairing family or people who have unhealthy relationships.

However these fics are tagged so I find they are easy to avoid

Fair enough. Everyone is their own whole world.

Rest assured: the fics I'll post are merely sibling bonding. I am also aware that this thread probably has more teens than the ones I usually post in.

I think it's just Damian not acknowledging Ric Grayson as his brother.

Dick definitively is, and I hope that a meeting between the two will help both of them; Dick by, well, becoming himself again, and Damian find balance between what he's doing now and blind adulation of the Bat.

Damian always gave the blood connection importance. And especially when angry or cross tends to refer back to that to write off the rest of the Bat-boys and signal himself out as "the special one" (thus the claim all the bat-boys are fascinated by him)... Dick could have been the exemption, but his current state is probably one of the many things that makes Damian feel angry and out of connection with the Bat-family so yeah, not surprised he says he is an only child. And seems to have a disregard for all the "lost boys" his father "collects"... In a way it is his coping mechanism...

I feel that was old Damian not current guy who knows better. he hasn't done the blood son bit in God knows how long.

That's why I think it is in a way his coping mechanism, where he reverts back to that talk, building a wall up, to sound/make himself believe he doesn't care and he isn't hurt and isnt bothered etc. But I think he is. I think it hurts him to think Jason betrayed him. It hurts him that Dick almost died and doesn't remember him now. It hurts him that his relationship with his father isn't good right now. He feels alone & sad, so has the "dont need or like them anyway, can barely tolerate the lot" attitude to mask all that.

WOW.. I am really surprised with that preview and... for the fact that I forgot this chapter existence until I found it..

Well Big brother takes Damian to school in the annual

spoilers:

Jason has been taking lessons from Bruce and has very little qualms beating a kid to a pulp even when he's no longer fighting back.

Guess this doesn’t end with them making up huh

I just wish writers would stop writing Damian picking fights with his brothers.
Will reserve judgement till I've read it but
Sad Damian took a beating
Glad Jason didn't job
Sad to see Jason fighting/beating a kid.

I know Dick is supposed to be the special good brother but no reason Damian can't have a decent relationship with Jason

Because Dick is the only Good one
spoilers:

The story is shaping up to be a lot more. Jason knows something as does Bruce. The box seemed like it contained something that could be used against Jason. Why would Bruce have something like that? Damian doesn't trust Jason and Bruce clearly doesn't trust him either. Jason threatened to kill not just Damian but the TT so we have a bad guy. I believe Damian was right. That Jason did betray them

well crap.

Is this all going to tie to the big Batfamily restructuring that's coming up after Bane?

Also quit spoiling it.

just read TT Annual and oh God it was one heck of a roller coaster honestly, especially with Damian-Jason.
but I love this book so much so excited to read more of it.

spoilers:

he did betray them??? Because I don’t think that’s the case. But yeah he got pissed so bad he threatened not just Damian but also the whole team if they end up crossing his path again. to be honest kinda sad that they could have been the remaining one who holds onto each other once they become estranged from the family but this affair just ruined that chance. the item was really suspicious though as it’s dangerous for Jason himself but is it his or Bruce’s? also I knew Djinn has been very suspicious! she may be the one working with The Other holy crap. but the Damian-Djinn-Crush love triangle in the end of part two got me like “whaaaaat???” it will get messy between them for sure and I’m looking forward to it!

reading this and then reading the actual issue it’s really sad that in the end Damian ended up thinking he’s not the only child but one of Bruce’s “lost boys collection” too. Damn it Glass you made me sad reading the whole part one of Annual.
