Prompt 271
“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone.
“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion.
Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files.
“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued.
“Is he coming to the Manor or…”
Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”
Now wait one moment-
“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

@martyrnal asked : REFLECT
send REFLECT for me to explain a traumatic event in my muses’s past and talk about their perception of events, which parts have stayed with them longest and how it affects them now. ( sender can request specific scenes/backstory )
am i gonna use this to talk about scary and terry bc i feel like people do not Understand why she is so distant toward him and i need people to understand ?? yes, yes i am.
so a lot of this is my own headcanon bc s2 is still pretty early, early enough that we don’t have all the little details of the kids backstories yet, so what we know about scary’s biological father is that he left when she was very young and she cared about him a lot but he is fully out of the picture. i think that there was more to that, that scary nearly idolizes this man that left her and her mom, and she won’t let him have any negative traits at least not major ones. he is the good guy who had to go, it was her fault he left, she’s the problem and she desperately wants to try and rectify that. she does it in many ways - joining soccer, listening to metal bands she may not even like, etc. she was doing everything she can to bring him back, because if he came back she would be worth loving again. scary said herself, she hasn’t learned to love herself in the 15 years she’s been alive, and a large part of that is because the one person who was suppose to love her unconditionally, who was suppose to be there and support her and help her through life left. if she was so easy to leave, there must have been a reason for it, right?
in walks terry jr. and for those of you who don’t know, terry is just the fucking best. he’s an absolute dork, ( which honestly i think some of ron rubbed off on him and i love that ), his mom was a therapist so this is maybe the most well adjusted kid of the group ( i say of the group as there are still some moments i say looking pointedly at i guess i’m immortal now i’m going to go kill my abusive and narcissistic grandfather when he was NOT EVEN REMOTELY IMMORTAL ), and all he wants is scary to love him ( which is a direct parallel to early s1 and ron trying to get terry to love him and terry wanting nothing to do with ron and the line “ it’s almost as if you can love and love someone and no matter what you do they don’t love you back” but that’s ANOTHER analysis post ) and scary is just not having it at this point. terry being there means there is no room for her father to come back. terry being there means she’s failed to earn her father’s love and if she’s failed doing that, then why would anyone love her? scary is firmly under the impression that love has to be earned, it isn’t freely given, and she doesn’t trust a lick of it when terry just offers his love on a silver platter for her. it doesn’t make sense. and slowly, with the help of her friends, she is starting to realize that love can be freely given and you don’t have to earn it, but it’s going to be a slow process, especially if willy is also in her ear and he’s the king of horrible, shitty parenting.
scary does care about terry, a lot, but she can’t let him care about her and she can’t just accept his love. “i haven’t learned to love myself in fifteen years, what gives you the right to try in 8 months” it doesn’t compute with her, and also, what’s stopping him from leaving just the way her father did ?? this girl has so much trauma surrounding a father’s love for their daughter she only knows how to be hostile to terry and until she learns that love doesn’t have to be earned or stolen, she’s going to continue to be a bit hostile.

CAT Ghost INSTINCTS
Damian comes back to the manor one day with... a new school acquaintance (coughfriendcough) due to the fact they need to work on a school project together and Danny Fenton was the only one in that class that Damian would tolerate to have as a partner.
Everything about the kid seemed normal, heck very normal if a bit shy... or at least that was until the kid suddenly zero focused on a corner of the room and stared at it non blinking. Then after what felt like hours blinked once and returned to normal, chatting away like nothing happened.
....It also doesn't help that Alfred the cat... did the same thing.. at the same time as Danny.
Yeah something is... off about Damian's new friend.

one of my favorite Percy headcanons is that even after he no longer has the Curse of Achilles, the small of his back is still his Achilles' Heel. It won't kill him but it's still his weakest point.
Like, he hates if anybody even brushes against there unless it's Annabeth because it's too sensitive and it basically physically hurts him. He has to be the little spoon Always because it makes him feel like his back is protected. If anyone hits him in the small of his back even without a lot of force, like a friendly slap on the back, he will crumple like wet paper. His friends poke him in the small of his back just cause every time he will immediately stumble and start complaining at them and they find it funny. If someone actually smacks him in the back with any amount of real force he will be on the ground immediately and stay there. If he gets actually scratched there he will be bedridden for days. The curse may be gone but he will always carry it with him.
