#i HEARD of Gnomon before I actually read through dukes comics

[starlooove]

Not to bring up SDS but whenever I imagine Duke raised by Gnomon, it’s him with an Escanor type personality and the power to back it up

#i HEARD of Gnomon before I actually read through dukes comics #so I know I was wrong Abt what he was before but I still like it #Duke to me is THE personification of light #like Gnomon and Duke are like the opposites of Trigon and Raven #which is why I like the idea of them training together or fighting or smth idk #the parallels that I completely made the fuck up are so good <3 #in Duke raised by Gnomon AU he and Damian would be friends but terrible for eachother #like they each fuel the others superiority complex and divine right to rule thing #so like…they CANNOT be friends pre or during redemption #they will absolutely throw eachother back into toxic thinking immediately #now if one of them is POST redemption or if both of them are that’s a different story #i think it’s funny bc in my au Duke would adopt gnomons superiority thing in a way raven didn’t #so he’d be like my dads better than yours and HES gonna conquer all the multiverses 🤭 #and shes like ok… #in this au raven is actively pushing Duke towards a better path bc she gets it #but also hes SOOO annoying god shut upppp #the batfam exists or whatever but raven trying to wrangle Duke who’s dragging Damian along is just #she has them on kiddie leashes and they wail at the injustice of it all #my explanation for how she knows them is #Duke was raised by gnomon but some otherworldly shit happened and he ended up with his mom at like…12-13 let’s say #and so as of NOW at like 15 he has some morals and empathy but it’s hard and when gnomon comes knocking he’ll be waiting #then joker thing happens and he gets such a shock bc for all his power he couldn’t do shit about it #and the parents that had hope in him that loved him unconditionally are gone #ends up with Bruce idc if it doesn’t make sense it’s whatever #meets Damian they make eachother worse Dick sees this and is like urethra 💡🙂 #and BEGS raven for tips and she’s like yeah I’ll help the youth become better people 😌 #she promptly reconsiders her stance on violence and considers homicide everyday but they WILL get better she’s committed now #duke thomas #raven #Damian wayne
