I THINK SO TOO

Actually I know none of this makes sense

I don't often essay because the moral of the story is "because I said so"

IT DOES MAKE SENSE THOUGH

you're like "I have canon justification for some of this and some of this is speculation that makes sense to me and also my canon is crazy so I'm working around that"

Though I think that this part is explicable, maybe! "Last issue of Batman & Robin had Damian breaking up with his mother because he's so committed to the Robin mantle. That same week, Streets of Gotham came out, and he derided the position, saying that he didn't care about its reputation."

From what I know about Damian's massive tsun and mother issues, it seems like it'd make sense for him to show a really different face re: his core values to his mom than other people, and like, REACT TO HER DISAPPROVAL by NOT NEEDING APPROVAL FROM ANYONE REALLY! your mileage may vary on that though, it's not like I've read any of this.

Yeah, this! Like, I think it makes sense that he would try and act like a badass to some kid that he's just getting to know.

WELL.

The thing about arguing is why his relationship with Violet is different than his relationship with Vanya. Violet just gets frustrated or snaps back at him, whereas Vanya just totally shrinks. HE CAN'T YELL AT SOMEONE WHO IS SO SAD.

It's funny because Violet approves of Vanya and Robin's relationship and wants to encourage it except that. If they start like liking each other and like. TALKING ABOUT IT?!? She thinks that is a bad end.

OH I thought that came out last week. I DIDN'T NOTICE IT WAS JUST A PREVIEW.

I bet that's the only part with Damian though.

Placeholder comment of "I will give you an essay when this week of Doom is over"!

... also, I'm prepared for things to get incredibly awkward the day that Vanya figures out that she like likes Damian.
