Damian Wayne has a metal spine
Ok so I’ve talked about Damian having his spine replaced three times on this page and every time I’ve gotten a surplus of people confused about when/how that happened
so in the interest of saving time, I’m going to give a brief synopsis of the entire event. (All comic panels are from comic issues Batman and Robin (2009) TBD 1 Part 2 - Batman and Robin (2009) TBD 2 Part 2) Funnily enough this happens in the same time period that Tim lost his spleen aka When Bruce Is Lost In Time
(!Warning! There will be talk of the G*nt M*rr*s*n Talia character assassination as this happens during that run)
Alright so the whole thing first starts when Damian is shot repeatedly in the back by a villain named “Flamingo” and loses the feeling in his lower body
Because Damian is paralyzed, Dick and Alfred take him back to his mother to be treated
There is where we see Talia arranging for Damian to have his entire spine replaced by a synthetic one
The surgery works but Damian still can’t walk for a few weeks
Oh and I can’t forget to mention that before Alfred and Damian leave, Talia has this lovely conversation-
Here she very clearly vocalizes that since Bruce is dead, Damian has no reason to stay in Gotham and that she wants him to come back home.
Damian refuses to be a weapon used against the Bats and Talia -very suspiciously might I add- just lets him leave
We later find out the reason she didn’t put up much fight to keep Damian in her care was actually because his new spine was laced with tiny machines that allowed for someone to merge with his nervous system and control his actions
of course we find this out when Damian appears to randomly attempt to murder Dick for no apparent reason
Talia then gives control over Damian to Slade -freakin’- Wilson. Arguably the worst possible person to give this control to right below Ra’s Al Ghul himself
Slade to absolutely no one’s surprise, appears to have agreed to this strictly so he can try to kill Dick. Dick ends up figuring out that it’s Slade (after the man makes Damian yell “SlaDe” in a truly brilliant reveal) and thinks of a way to free Damian
Unfortunately his solution is to shock the crap out of Damian’s nervous system because -and I quote- “Your heart can take it, but his?”
He proceeds to more or less give this poor kid electro shock therapy and zap Slade into releasing his hold on Damian. (No hate to Dick it was a time sensitive situation but yikes Damian can’t catch a break)
It works and the connection between Damian and Slade is severed. (Yay??? I guess??)
Batman and Robin then return to the cave where Damian promptly declares he needs to see his Mother right now and Dick agrees but comes with him
Dick quickly finds the machine that they had been using to control Damian and promptly smashes it to pieces. (As he should)
Damian however goes straight to Talia to talk about her -ya know- putting a bunch of robots in his back
the conversation goes as well as you’d expect it to and Talia then reveals that “Oh btw, I’m growing another Damian cause you’re flawed”
She also offers Damian one last chance to reconsider and come back to the League.
Because he’s not completely crazy Damian of course refuses which prompts Talia to do this-
Just straight up disowns Damian right there.
This then starts everything to do with Heretic and all that and Damian’s eventual death (G*nt M*rrs*s*n you are truly my biggest opp)
But that’s not important here, what’s important is that while it can no longer be used to control him, Damian still has the metal spine!
Hope this cleared things up for anyone who was confused/didn’t know about it!🖤

IDEAS FOR TWST OCS:
I have a few
they are in their very baby stages of creation, not at all fleshed out. Really these are just ideas for ideas.
all character ideas are beast men. Not on purpose, just how things turned out.
CHAR 1
Name: [name pending] AKA “Dummy the Clown!”
Twisted from: Dumbo
gender: tbd, prob male
school: prob royal sword
dorm (if applicable):
First idea is for a dumbo character because,,,,,,,, clowns
just an absolute baby
floppy lil fella, melts like puddin in your hands under praise/affection
Self image issues out the WAZOO. Copes by being a clown. Because as a clown, they have more control over how people perceive them. Yes they’re a goofy little failure, but this time it’s for comedy, and not because, well… they’re a failure.
They’re a performative failure, playing up every single little mistake or incident, like “whoops, silly me, oh I’m such a goober!”
Internally most of those mistakes are like a fuckin dagger to the heart for them.
can you imagine,,, cute lil elephant beast man,,,, with big ol floppy ears,,,,,,,,
Secretly loves being called cute, because at least “cute” is positive
Prob goes to Royal Sword.
CHAR 2
Name: tbd (thinking Georgie but that might be too on the nose)
Twisted from: Georgette from Oliver and Company
gender: tbd, but thinking genderfluid
school: tbd
dorm (if applicable): if in nrc, definitely pomefiore
Only the vaguest ideas for this one, but I neeeeeeeeed a Twst oc based off of georgette.
yall don’t even fuckin understand, “Perfect Isn’t Easy” is literally my all time favorite Disney song.
did you know none of the songs from that movie are on Spotify?? Fuckin criminal. There are covers, Annapantsu covered “why should I worry” and someone named Sienna? I believe? Covered Perfect Isn’t Easy but you don’t UNDERSTAND, GEORGETTE WAS VOICED BY BETTE MIDLER I NEED THE ORIGINAL ON SPOTIFY I NEED ALL THE OLIVER AND COMPANY SONGS ON SPOTIFY—
Y’all it’s not even a good movie and I fucking hate Charles dickens, why tf am I so attached to this movie???
oh yeah
Georgette
so I need a twst oc based off of her.
I’m imagining a fabulous little genderfluid beast man. Bitch def in pomefiore. Georgette isn’t technically a villain but hear me out hear me out
I want the fab poodle and Ruggie to kiss 😳
in the movie, Georgette ends up with the scruffy little Chihuahua
I am imagining Georgie here being a fuckin 5’12 god/dess in massive heels, towering over a scruffy lil man.
maybe even Epel, fuck if I know!
CHAR/s 3
Name:
Twisted from: the fuckin vultures from jungle book
gender: male
school: nrc
dorm (if applicable): savanaclaw
You don’t understand.
No, you don’t understand.
You couldn’t possibly understand
why?
because I don’t fuckin understand.
but the vulture song (that’s what friends are for) was like… my favorite fuckin song. I don’t know, I don’t fuckin know.
BUT
just imagine
a hippie dippy lil shitty vulture boy
mans probably stoned outta his mind
he’s a big scary vulture beast man
but he’s just a fuckin goober.
also fuckin smarter than you think (like real vultures)
food for thought.
FINAL CHAR IDEAS
I want to make some Peter Pan boyos
obv I need a Captain Hook and smee but rn all my thoughts are
Name:
Twisted from: Tick Tock Croc from Peter Pan
gender: male
school: either nrc or a fan school idk
dorm (if applicable):
Y’know what
I’m just gonna make my own goddamn school.
see yall in the next post.

I'm seeing a lot of posts about Rose Noble and being named by Donna --- but I think a lot of people are forgetting that Rose is trans, meaning that Donna likely didn't give her that name. It was either a name they came up with together or (most likely) one Rose chose for herself. As choosing your name is a part of the trans experience, it's important we don't lose sight of that !
I do think, however, theorizing about why she chose this name is perfectly fair and valid.
