No but like imagine if Dick liked his coffee Turkish (kid grew up in a traveling circus and bc he’s so ethnically ambiguous in canon I headcanon him as being vaguely from everywhere) and not only does he like his coffee Turkish
Him and Talia have the exact same preferences, down to the fact they both prefer walnut baklawa to dates with coffee (superior choice argue with the wall)
They sip it the same way, prepare it the same way
Skim the top the same way
Same thickness
And ofc neither has any clue bc they hate each other and they’re absolutely never sitting down for coffee together ever
But Damian meets Dick Grayson who drinks and prepares coffee the exact same way his mom does and just one sip and he’s less homesick
And it’s adorable but also hilarious but ofc Dick and Talia have the exact same preferences
And if he ever brings up the way Dick likes his coffee Talia looks grudgingly agreeable and is like “ah so the boy can occasionally have sense, shame he doesn’t use it for anything worthwhile”
And when he tells Dick that his coffee reminds him of Talia’s Dick looks vaguely ill and tries to switch to plain black for a month bc he absolutely refuses to have anything in common with his biggest op
Jason finds it hilarious but the only person Jason is allowed to sit and have coffee with is Dick and Steph. Him and Tim together? In a casual setting with caffeine.. esp Arabic coffee cuz we don’t play with out caffeine yeah no too much chaos
All the Batkids switch to languages or dialects Bruce doesn’t fully understand when they’re shit talking him
Alfred struggles like hell with the coffee tradition bc it’s violently against every thing he’s trained for as a butler so Damian gets annoyed bc Alfred keeps politely refusing him when he tries to pour him a cup.
So he enlists his siblings to use the most extra SFX, and optical illusions to trick Alfred into having the first cup
In my Arab region (I can't speak for the others, but I'm pretty sure they have similar things. Add your stuff if you do!) Coffee time is kind of sacred and is tightly regulated with heavy traditional rules. Especially so for the male populace.
Coffee makes the man! (Literally, I can't stress this enough)
Men and women alike are trained from a very young age on how to make and serve their coffee. A coffee with a good colour is a bright sign for your guests, and the way you serve is very telling of you.
Doors are ALWAYS open for guests, and HUGE halls are prepared to accommodate them (they can reach hundreds, depending on your dad's popularity). A household's head is a very blessed man when he has children/grandchildren because he can brag about them by showing their serving skills off. Those children will be scrutinised and judged according to their coffee serving manners. It's a very integral part of a charming character's traits for us. So, parents, especially fathers, are very strict about this.
Aside from guests, families have daily coffee time for themselves, too! It's very respectful to serve your mom and dad coffee. So it's expected from you.
Considering Ra's personality, serving him coffee as a grandson would be a nightmare.
Imagine Damian refilling the finjaan again and again in front of an elegantly sitting Ra's until he gets it right? Imagine him waiting (while standing, maybe for an hour or so) for Ra's to finish his finjaan so he can refill it again? Imagine how LIVID Ra's would be when Damian accidentally fills the finjaan to the top (a message that says, are you satisfied, yet? Get out! In my region) imagine Ra's asking Damian to serve coffee for his villain allies?!! Arabs and non?? And imagine people getting to know and hear about him from his coffee serving, like a good Arab son, before they know him from his sword?
Also, when he finally lives in the manor and sunset arrives and Batman is sitting by the batcomputer, deeply focused, and then is surprised by a finjaan presented to him because it's coffee time?
Damian would be very confident and proud of his coffee making and serving skills he would expect from Bruce nothing but sipping and asking for a refill, because his father should know his manners.
Bruce would know nothing about this but would, of course, sip (not drink! Drinking bad!!!) without question, and will continue to accept and sip every. Single. Day before patrol without knowing what is happening but going along with it because he's pretty sure this is Damian's way of bonding.
Which is not really true because Damian is only performing his duty as a son. He never really understood the core meaning behind this tradition because for a long time now, the art of Arabian Coffee was only a skill that was expected from him and a part of showing good grace. But as days pass and the number of people being served coffee increases and coffee time becomes a routine before each patrol for the whole family, when dates and snacks and small talk and occasional laughter join in, the very meaning behind this tradition clicks with him, and he serves it with a smile.
do you think dick and steph could be close ?
100% and they have been in canon and should continue to be (never as much as like Steph and Cass or Tim but still barring those too I like to think her dick and Damian have their own lil trio)
My friend claims it’s bc he’s such a huge feminist, has read all of the feminist literature books (he’s 6’4 btw)
So now bc he’s such a huge feminist he experiences periods so that he can t r u l y understand women (he’s 6’4 btw)
And I think that’s beautiful
Have I read all of these… no
Will I start… soon
But everyone read Steph brown she’s my baby
For those who, like me, when they like a character they need to read every single comic the character appears in, I have compiled a list of all of Stephanie Brown’s appearances from her debut up to the 2011 Flashpoint reboot (not including New 52 continuity).
Guys okay I’m looking for fics and I’m desperate

Tim: HEY!
Damian: this is true… apologies Richard
Dick now the same age Bruce was when he was adopted, now executing 20 perfect backflips in a row:
Jason, 6 years younger than him with actual magic unable to stand up without joint pain: …what the fuck
Bruce: mhm
Jason: this is so unfair
Bruce: finally we agree on something my boy
Jason tearing up: shut the fuck up
Dick on his hands:
Alfred, grabbing an ice pack: "Honestly Master Bruce, what were you thinking trying to keep up with a ten year old?"
Battinson, impatiently batting away the icepack: "Alfred I'm in my prime--" *all joints crack as he stands up*
Dick, completer of ten back flips in a row: "That didn't sound good."
