in 1 side we have Massive Angst of Talia and Bruce
on other side we have
Okay normal life Clone Talia, Himbo Danny and Damian.
Wait that is just Spy x family but Clone x Family.
No kidding. I can't say much for the angst between Talia and Bruce because I don't know their dynamic that well beyond that in one run they were supposedly in love with one another (and still are to some extent) but they're on such ideological opposites that it's never gonna work in the long term. And in another run Talia is just seducing Bruce (which iirc came about from post 9/11 hatred towards the middle east, and resulted in Talia's character being butchered by some asshole).
BUt on the other end we have Nasra, Danny, and Damian. Who I don't think ever really take on a traditional nuclear 'familial' dynamic since Danny and Damian agreed to both be brothers first and foremost - they're not seeking out a father-son relationship with each other, even with Danny occasionally being parental from time to time. And Nasra and Damian would still have an almost sibling-like rivalry towards each other as well (honestly I think it'd be very Tim and Damian-like), I think. That with a mix of "rivalry between little sibling and their older sibling's partner" too. Either way its def not mother-son like in the slightest, but still familial. Even if unorthodox
But either way they are still family with the additions of Sam and Tucker and Jazz! I like to imagine that Nasra and Damian both are actually pretty into art. Damian uses spray paints as his medium, however, and Nasra gets into charcoals and watercolors, and they compare different art mediums when they start tentatively getting along.
OH also unrelated but more on clone^2 but - danny in clone^2 like, killed like three guys when he was 17 because they attacked him and damian and nearly killed them both. Imagine being Bruce and finding that out

Sorry about this long doodle dump of some ideas about the backstory for the crime au thing I made a bit ago. In all honesty it’s more a crossover with the book series Six of Crows, it’s lowkey such a good book I highly recommend.
Some backstory under the cut in case you haven’t read the series or if you are generally curious about what’s happening in these doodles.
So basically in this world some people are born magical and have the ability to control either elements, bodies, or materials. These people are called Grisha and it’s overall random who is born with the abilities though there is a bit of genetics involved. Nonetheless Grisha usually hide their abilities since they are often captured, killed, or are drafted in the army depending on where they were born.
Sun is a Grisha and was lucky enough to be born with a traveling circus (think like how Inej grew up), where for the most part people were okay with it. They even showed it off in shows (though they usually handwaved it as pyrotechnics to keep him safe).
Moon was lucky/unlucky enough to not be born a Grisha, though this led to him trying a lot harder with gymnastics and stunts, making him overall the better performer compared to Sun.
Unfortunately one day they were kidnapped, sold, and separated. Sun went to Ketterdam and became indentured (basically no rights) and was eventually able to get out of it, though he refuses to talk about how he got out. While Moon went to Shu Han and got involved in all their experiments and getting a few extra parts. (in regards to canon I’m just assuming these are like the early trials or something)
They are reunited later but there are a lot of issues and trauma going around so like things are rough. Basically Sun has abandonment issues and Moon can’t stand physical touch so its not a great combo. Plus Moon has a funky bit of wiring in his head that when activated causes him to want to kill magical people like his brother sooo...
Extra fun stuff:
- in this au their names aren’t really Sun and Moon, but that’s the nickname they have for each other
- the thing Sun’s the best at doing is turning dirt into glitter, kinda useless but it cheers up the kids he works with so he’s happy with it.
- Moon actually really likes the wings, it’s one of the few things he got that he doesn’t entirely hate
- For peeps who have read the books, or seen the Netflix show, Sun is a Materialki (an Alkemi specifically), though has a little skill in Corporalki abilities. He refuses to say how and why though. Unfortunately for Moon the main types of Grisha that messed with his brain and body were Materialki and Corporalki on Parem soooo…
- Sun got a snake tattoo from his time indentured, haha insert symbolism of snakes eating the sun in mythology
- Sun’s abilities help him fix Moon’s face later on, but that took a lot of trust building and trauma resolution
- Sun wants to be able to fix Moon’s head as well but that is going to be a lot more difficult
- he probably would only be able to do it if he took Parem…
Haha good thing that will never happen.

don't you just love joining a fandom too late :').
Yeah :')
Sometimes I get kinda sad thinking about all the inside jokes, fanarts and fandom excitement I must have missed by arriving late.
I remember discovering the game like... almost ten years ago, I think? But my phone was too old to run the app and it kept crashing every couple of dialogues, so I had to disinstall it while all my friends were playing through it just fine.
I was only able to get into it a couple of years ago when I managed to buy a more recent device, but by that time all my friends had already moved on and were no longer much interested in it. 😭
It sucks, but this can't stop me or you to enjoy all the content that's already here and to create something new by our own!
I get that once a series stops being updated (or not if we consider the Dorian situation) the fan excitement kinda dies, but personally my hype has always been more dependant from fans' creations rather than canon material.
Since I've started posting, all my friends who were into the game years ago decided to re download the app just because of how annoying enthusiastic I am about it. I also convinced at least a couple of people who had never heard of it before!
Moral of the story is: as long as someone is willing to be annoying about a series you can keep the fandom alive and drag other people into it.
