#and I fully believe Duke goads him into doing more stupid shit

I think Dick Duke and Damian would be a hilarious trio

#them as a trio would be so funny #bc ppl UNDERSTAND why Dick has to wrestle to control Damian #they get why he has to coo at him that murder is not a proper punishment for a thief but he’s glad that he’s not suggesting torture now #they don’t get why he has tell Duke that maybe he should go down a few more stories before jumping off that skyscraper ok? #hey signal maaaaybe we should shoot the grapple before we jump? or at least before we’re seconds from hitting the ground? thanks. #and it’s funny bc dick himself is a terrible role model for all these things #do as I say not as a I do headass #and I fully believe Duke goads him into doing more stupid shit #it didn’t work when Jason did it bc alll that history… #and it doesn’t work with Damian bc dick will forever see him as 12 smh my head #duke tho? absolutely 100% let’s his responsibilities drop around Duke #they can just have FUN together yknow? #like Duke is part of his family and he cares Abt him but he’s also not privy to all the unspoken things in Wayne manor #and he doesn’t care to be #that’s how the entire family honestly feels about Duke #they can let their pasts go and just be themselves around him #bc he WILL judge heavily #but he also looks at them NOW and knows they’re better than they used to be #that they’re trying #and that’s enough for him #not on some therapist Duke type shit btw don’t bring that shit here #something something dukes powers almost being a literal extension of himself and the way he sees people for what they can be despite who #they have been. there’s a fic Abt that I just remembered I need to go reread it now #anyways yeah Duke is everyone’s favorite but especially dick and Damian’s and they get up to all sorts of fuckshit together #oh but this can go even further actually bc part of Dukes hope for his parents IS the future but he’s also tied down by the past bc he knows #with each passing day week month they get more and more different and things will never be the same and he’s tied to the past in a way he’s #never been before and he’s not used to it. Duke has ALWAYS been about what he can do for tomorrow how he can change now if he doesn’t like #it. #he’s stuck in the past and he doesn’t know how to get out because it’s NEVER been like this before #I think Jason would help a lot here. my Duke is to Jason what Damian is to dick agenda
