Tfw You’re Forced To Go To An Elite Socialite Gala By Your Rich And Powerful Fathers And End Up Meeting

Tfw you’re forced to go to an elite socialite gala by your rich and powerful fathers and end up meeting what will end up being the love of your freaking life.

Below you will find rambling of my mangled ideas for this

First off, loved the idea of them meeting as kid kids. Like 8 and 9. And then I was like—but make them both rich.

In my brain the Waynes are socially obligated to attend Trigon Mr. Roth’s gala. On top of that, it’s important for their fathers to mingle and build business relationships at these things so why not make it a family ordeal. Idk what rich people do. But I don’t put it past either of these dads to drag their kids into their shit.

But anyways, Trigon is definitely a questionable and probably back stabbing business man, and Bruce doesn’t actually like the guy. It’s rumored he has ties to organized crime, as well. The Roth’s come from a long line of money and have aristocratic roots in Europe.

Damian and Raven, after getting to know each other over the years, feel like they’re the black sheep of their families. Raven’s family is thirsty for power and pretty ruthless. Damian feels like he just isn’t meant for this socialite thing, and has a hard time fitting in, unlike his older brothers. They also feel like they’re disappointments in some way or another. Both of their mothers have died, too (Arella shortly after Raven’s birth from complications, and Talia from a suspicious accident when Damian was 6, that’s when Bruce brought Damian home).

Eventually, as the two grow older, their fathers end up having a conflict that makes them competitors and rivals. It makes it hard on the now teens? Young adults? To be together because of their family rivalry, causing social tension and scandal amongst the elite. Bruce doesn’t have anything personal against Raven, he knows she’s a good woman and commends her for the independent identity she’s given herself, but has zero trust in her father. Trigon, defensively doesn’t want their family’s name, status and reputation tainted by scandal or gossip. However, in this weird AU I’d like to think that despite Trigon still being sinister and awful, he actually loves his daughter and is quite protective over her, despite his grueling expectations and standards for her.

Idk maybe Trigon’s karma catches up and he dies in a horrible car accident (that is definitely not an accident bc this man has so many enemies, bro) and Raven can finally get from under his heel. Maybe when Damian and Raven finally get married, Raven has conflicting feelings bc she does kinda wish her dad was able to walk her down the isle. But Bruce steps in instead.

Idk this has just been buzzing in my brain all day.

I had SUCH a blast drawing human Trigon by the way HOLY SHIT. Some inspiration from Lucious Malfoy definitely snuck in there and honestly it paid off. He also has some vampire-like qualities that I think fits his human counterpart well.
