Jason: pfft, no rest for the wicked? What a lie. I’m wicked and I rest plenty. I rested so hard I slipped into an eternal rest. I take offence to that false statement.
Dick, concussed and glaring pointedly at the time: and if you don’t get out of my apartment in the next five minutes, you’ll be resting in the medbay until next week
I love when I’m reading fanfiction about dick going thru it and everyone hating him and what not.
And then the author is like
Yeah yeah everyone hates him except Donna Donna would never hate him, but she’s busy and he doesn’t wanna fuck up her relationships despite the fact he knows she wouldn’t mind
Bc yes even in a premise as stupid as “everyone wakes up and hates dick Grayson” is we ALL collectively agree that there is no universe where Dick and Donna arent completely out of their minds with adoration for the other
Thank you to everyone who remembers that DONNA TROY WOULD NEVER
The absolute best thing about the fab 5 is literally any ship pairing is acceptable except for exactly one (1) and we all know which one it is

Decided to reread the Grayson run instead of doing my work.
I forgot about the absolute grip tiger had on me god damn.
Someone plz
Gimmie more content
Preferably with my boy 37
I like the fact that the main difference between Dick Grayson and Nightwing is just straight vibes
Dick Grayson is a good looking, fun, smart guy who can sometimes come off a lil goofy or awkward but he’s nice to talk too and is therapist shaped if you’re going through it. The kinda guy you can pull aside and ask for him to listen to a 9 hour mental breakdown and he’ll do it in exchange for a latte.
Nightwing is a consummate professional, he will lead your team, get you in, get ur info, get you out. No ifs ands or buts around it. He doesn’t gaf unless it’s gonna fuck up
1) his teammates
2) peoples chances of living
3) ur brain fundamentally
Otherwise bro is here to do his job, make 1-7 bad puns and gtfo
okay so i am genuinely confused as to why we are acting like jason was not angry as robin i mean a big part of his whole character was that he had a strong sense of justice and sometimes went too far joker himself said he was more brutal than the first robin don’t get me wrong he was a sweet kid but taking out the fact that he was still too violent sometimes takes a lot out of his character
Tbh I think it’s a fandom thing
Jason was angry as Robin
But he wasn’t the Angry Robin(tm)
It’s like how people went “oh dick isn’t this dumb himbo who needs Jason to come save him” so then everyone went “he is filled with rage and wants to /can murder everyone with ease he will feel no guilt”
Like people showed evidence that Jason wasn’t this rage filled murderous loser as Robin. Therefore he’s a sweetie pie who never did anything wrong ever.
(However let’s be so real if we are making quick shitposts, then yeah if you wanna make Jason more complicated/ highlight the extreme change he goes through from Robin to redhood it’s just easier to make him the sweetie-pie Robin)
++ THO it’s not all fandoms fault
Jason’s Robin run is arguably the one that goes through the most extreme changes
The flying Todd’s? Where he was diet Grayson
To the tires
To the orphanage to the tires
And so on
So it’s hard to piece together.
++
I think it’s also to do with their relationships to Bruce
-Tim and Dick both chafed under the Bats control and argued with him about it.
- Dicks favorite hobby seems to be calling Bruce out on his shit in various loud and dramatic ways
-tim had the YJ and dick had the titans
-Jason especially post death is more used as this tragic rough around the edges sweetie who disobeys once and gets blown up for his troubles
Anyway that’s my 2 cents I could be entirely wrong here I just go here lol
Headcanon that when extremely sleep deprived Dick tells Jason wayyy too much traumatizing lore about his life.
Bc he kinda forgets that Jay wasn’t there for it
Since he was hallucinating the bastard (yeah I know in canon it was obviously a hallucination idk)
So Dick will accidentally just lore dump about the most insane shit bc well Jason was there (no he wasn’t)
And when he’s offensively sleep deprived it goes the other direction and he forgets that Jason ever came back.
So he’s just in the corner watching what he believes to be a hallucination of his baby brother except for some reason his mind decided he needed to see what Jay would look like grown up.
Dick on day 7 without sleep watching Jason beat up a gang member: maybe my therapist was right
Jason: the fuck are you-?
Dick: Maybe I DO need to go back on anti-psychotics
————————————————————
Dick alone in his apartment with a bag of shredded cheese and a plain cereal box in one hand ready to have what is probably the Most depressing depression meal: hmmm hmmmm hmmm
Jason who climbed through a window while dick was distracted: Sup
Dick: ah look a wild hallucinajason appears
Jason: what the fuck did you the call me
Dick patting Jason’s cheek: oh they’re somatosensory now too! That’s new! Anyway bye bye baby bird
Jason watching his brother leave the kitchen: ….okay what the fuck?
——————————————
Dick only on 3 days without sleep: this reminds of the time I was about the sign my marriage license!
Jason: two things 1) why does a shootout remind you of being at the courthouse 2) WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU GET MARRIED
Dick: I didn’t get married?
Jason: then what the hell are you talking about
Dick: idk the last time I tried too get married way more guns than necessary were involved and you know when I tired to get married Jay you were there!
Jason “was dead at the time” Todd: what the fuck are you talking about?
Dick: yeah! I mean you really hated her so you told me I’d be a disappointment if I married her and then disappeared. Which like granted I also didn’t wanna marry her but that was harsh
Jason: ….. I? I don’t even know what the appropriate response is? Here
Dick: an apology would be nice?
Jason who is now 50% sure his ghost haunted his brother 25% sure his brother was hallucinating and like 25% sure Bruce used his image as a tool to get dick to do what he wanted: ……. You know what… nah she was a bitch and I’m glad you didn’t marry her
Dick: I mean.. same
—————————————
Dick has a caffeine IV Grayson : this brings me back to the good old days
Jason dodging an alien: ??? When you were Robin ? How?
Dick: no! When Donna died and I didn’t have to worry about saying alive so I could do insane shit like infiltrating an alien spaceship with no protective gear
Jason:??????????????? Dick what the fuck
Dick: OH come on??? You were there! Very quippy 10/10 would be haunted by again
Jason:…. I- yeah you know what I’m not touching this one

Am I the only one sat still and terrified to move bc they’re enjoying the current Nightwing run?
He’s competent
Funny
Angry
Not fucking useless
He’s here my beloved is H E R E
I have been longing for times like this ever since I opened my first Nightwing rebirth comic
tim drake would beat your ass if he heard what you all say about dick grayson
Au where time travel shenanigans occur and a younger nightwing is shot from the past smack dab in the middle of the battle.
And (after the fight) takes everything… surprisingly well
I mean it’s nightwing
His whole thing is adaptablity
He’s sees Jason first and he’s a little teary but more so insanely elated that his little brother is okay and that he’s so happy they’re both still around to be spending time together. And Jason gets super choked up bc it’s sweet and happy but like he’s a tough guy they’re both crying super masculine tough guy tears.
He’s friendly if a little distant around the rest of the bats and birds but it’s all okay ya know. If he shoots Steph a weird look once in a while after she mentions that her and Cass have both been batgirl… well worse things have happened.
And then more shenanigans occur
And Dick has to interact with the wider league/ hero community
And bro sees
Donna Troy
Alive and well.
And he just loses it
Full on breaks down and clutches at her like she’s about to disappear. All that perfect grace and poise handling his and Bruce’s repaired relationship, his new role, the 50 new robins and bats, bludhavens destruction and rebuilding, the collapse of many of his very valuable relationships (romantic and platonic)
Gone
Because Donna is here and she’s okay and she didnt die under his leadership lookshesrightthere and it’s 1000% too much for him. His knees have turned into jello everyone else doesn’t matter, her arms are the only thing keeping him from collapsing too the ground.
And he’s just apologizing to her violently bc this is DONNA and bc of flaws in his plan, in his execution he’s had to live without her and he’s just… so happy that’s not forever. He doesn’t have to live without Donna forever, just a little while longer and he gets his sister back.
And ofc bc it’s Donna and Dick she’s 100% not having the apologies and telling him that her death is 100% not his fault and she’s so sorry anything about her has hurt him like this.
Anyway it’s very soft and sweet and teary and they collapse in a puddle of omgmysiblingiloveyou goop. Dick is like fully passed out like an infant after a really good crying session. And Donna is clutching at Dick because he’s here and alive and misses her and doesn’t have the weird glint future Dick has where it looks like he’s looking at her corpse every time they meet eyes.
They could be alone or it could be in front of the batbabies or Batman and Superman or the fab 5 or Kori&roy outlaws or just Roy outsiders, or just Bruce or just Jason
Dealers choice
I just need everyone to know how important Donna Troy is to 1 dick Grayson
When hes recovered from experiencing emotions ™️ he just keeps holding her face between his hands and double checking everything’s okay
Does she have what she wanted in life
Is she happy?
Are her relationships good
He won’t touch Bruce’s money but if she needs an apartment let him know. It’s worth it for this
Is anyone on the league giving her shit (he graduated from the bat university of contingency planning he can help if super strength isn’t enough to take em down)
So on
It’s very cute
It’s very sad
I want you to visibly tell that even however long it’s been since this event (ur choice) Dick Grayson never could have wholly survived Donna Troy’s death, and the longer she was gone the more pieces of himself he lost.
Bruce being startled by laughs and cackles of mischief he though had long been buried
Dick being more of a sibling and less of a parent
The bat neurosis being just so so much lighter
He wasn’t as good or kind of a person when gone but it wasn’t that obvious to anyone. Now that this young Dick Grayson has barely had to move through life without her, has seen that she will come back. His whole image is softer. Everything from the way his eyes assess the world to the tense lines in his back is just softer. More forgiving almost
Anyway
Dick and Donna hours with everyone and their mother understanding just how much these two love each other
Thank you bye bye now
HUH??? Dc??? Is being??? Nice???
First they gave dick a personality again, now they’re teasing Donna and Roy back together???
And THEN???
NOBODY SAY SIKE I WANT TO BELIEVE
It's an honor killing if it happens in Asia, femicide if it happens in LaTam but it's a preventable tragedy if it happens in the USA
Plz I need them
Random highly specific dick grayson fanfics I’ve been craving
An exhausted 18/19 yr old Dick finding Jason trying to steal the wheels off of Nightbird (his car) and instead of reprimanding him he just launches into a really proud rant about his car and how much work he put into her and god kid you got a good eye for parts. I just replaced the tires with ones where the rubber self heals. And none of that commercial crap either, actual self healing rubber that could get a bullet shot through it and still close up a second later. Oh and did you notice the seats? Just polished the leather on em! Go on sit, sit! Comfy, huh? You wanna get a bite to eat? Cool. I think bat burger’s hero-meal comes with a bat-mobile toy. Not as cool as my lovely lady of course, but close enough. Jason is absolutely baffled. This is Nightwing? The one all those new gangs that moved from bludhaven decided facing was worse than fighting for territory in the narrows? Fleeing unsuccessfully might be add considering Nightwing’s presence in gotham. He was so…nice? In that weird slightly off putting way that most of the real good people he knows have.
Dick and Damian both longing for the days where it was just them: Batman and Robin. The best. Dick having a whole moment where he curls around nearly completed adoption papers and sobs because Damian was his. For a year Damian was his to protect, his to guide, his to love. But now they aren’t even in the same city and barely go on patrols together let alone have movie nights cuddled up on the couch (it’s only reasonable Richard. Penguins huddle to conserve body heat). And Damian in the manor staring blankly at his drawing of gotham that Bruce hung up in his office. He didn’t make it for him. He made it for Richard. But what was he supposed to do when Father saw a piece dedicated to “dad” while Damian was flipping through his sketchbook? Tell him it was actually for his oldest son instead of him? Tell him that sometimes Damian wishes bruce never came back so that Richard didn’t have step back from them?
Dick who cooks tons of different cultural dishes within the same meal and when questioned about it he’s just like ???? That’s what my mom used to do??? We lived in so many different places it felt weird limiting our food to one culture per meal.
Dick being like Garfield Logan’s big brother long before Jason comes into the mix. Gar frequently turning into a baby elephant just because it makes dick coo over him more than any form. Even a kitten!
Since the comics won’t do it does anyone have proper dick and Kori fics. Not dick and Jay and also star is there. Not outsiders Kori. Not past Kori/dick
Just good old fashion nightstar, robstar, nightfire
Cutesy get back together content? Rekindled passion? The never broke up? Dealers choice but please I’m starved
do you think donna would kind of hold a grudge against jason on dick’s behalf ? like the whole killing people in a nightwing suit and everything
I know that canonically she, Jason and Rayner work together but in my heart of hearts I believe she would. But that’s just believe I believe Donna Troy would have beef with a wall if Dick bumped into it.
+ also Dick and her at least in the various teen titans/ titans runs I’ve read of them together confide in each other insecurities they tell no one else. I think she’d be furious that her boy was put in danger but also the autonomy? And identity issues they share yeah no.
I hate not liking a female character bc if I sit here and say I think one of the batboys is completely cringe there will be a group of people who viscerally hate this man for valid reasons and I can stew in my bitterness
But if say I hate a female character it’s annoying bc everyone else who hates said female character hates all female characters and rants about how women are too involved in the fandom
Like no I just don’t like her character
“But would you like her if she was a guy”
No actually she has a male version of herself and I hate that fucker too
SEE
This is where I get annoyed bc I love cracking jokes about dicks dating life
But this is how I 100% feel about it
Dick loves flirting, he’s a flirty guys I’m pretty sure he’s flirted with everyone from raptor to batwoman (before ID reveal)
Dick and his friends flirt with one another all the time
But like dick has has 3-4 very serious relationships and only 2 have been genuinely consistent throughout his 80 year tenure as a character
Tim went through that in a week
And I feel like people seem to equate dicks friendly flirty personality + being canonically very very good looking as sleeping around.
Now personally I live laugh love demisexual Grayson it’s my drug feed it to me
But if you want/headcanon him sleeping around fine live your life
But be SO FR OKAY the scenes where dick is explicitly like “what are you doing”
“I don’t like this”
“I feel uncomfortable”
Are very obviously not him cracking a joke. It’s just him being like a normal person who does not want people looking at him like a ribeye
-oh but dick slept with babs b4 his wedding to Kori. Okay and babs has been pregnant with Bruce’s child, and been married to Tim.
Dc writes out of character shit to keep the plot moving we been knew, literally everyone agrees it’s not in character for him and it’s never been in character for him
I usually don't talk too much about it cuz it's kinda an awful trope to be honest, but, I was seeing this so much lately, and I just can't with this-
The amount of people who think Dick has had many partners and is a playboy when many of the women (and some men) they use as examples are women who have kissed or touched him WITHOUT his consent is... It's horrible.
I don't know why people think it's normal or a "reward" that so many people have crossed Dick's boundaries just because they tend to portray these people as visually attractive.
Today I just saw a compilation of this kind of situations, and there were 35 photos, and many more were missing. Each image was more uncomfortable than the last.
TW: I'll post some of the comic panels on this topic, they get progressively more uncomfortable, it's nothing that explicit, but still.
In the photos you can see the @ of the account where I got the panels from.
There are many more (like Catalina or Liu panels), that are even more explicit situations, but I think this gets the point across.
I saw people trying to justify Dick being a playboy by saying that maybe he hypersexualizes himself in response to trauma (a real response, it can happen), but this would make more sense if the authors did it on purpose and with that intention, but that is not the case. They don't sexualize Dick's character to give depth to his trauma, they barely even talk about it AT ALL.
So that definitely doesn't excuse it, at least not as a justification from the authors, now if they use it as HC it makes more sense, but only thanks to the fans' interpretation. If it were entirely up to the authors, there is no reason for Dick to be sexualized, not beyond fanservice.
And I hate it.
It's very different to create a sexy character than to sexualize them to the point of objectification.
do you think dick and steph would bond over both being fired as robin ?
Honestly I think they’d get along but not over the firing for a couple reasons
1) I honestly don’t think dick would talk about it + the continuity on it is iffy
2) every Robin has been fired except Jason and he was blown up so I can count that as a firing of sorts
3) I think they’d get along more around the fact that they worked together as batgirl and Batman a bunch during the Morrison run and also I think Steph would fit in really well with the og titans so I think she works really well playing off of Grayson
However if anyone has any fanfiction content around these two please send it my way
what is your favorite fic of all time ?
The Nightwing protocol by purple soot
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)
imagine bludhaven and gotham having a custody battle over nightwing
Gotham citizen talking to a metropolis citizen: anyway we have a fuck ton of heroes, Batman, Batwoman, signal, red hood, Nightwing, robin
Bludhaven citizen eavesdropping: I’m sorry what the fuck did you say
Gotham: listen pal you got a problem with me??
Bludhaven: yeah asshole, you ain’t the only city in Jersey and every hero in Jersey don’t belong to you get nightwings name out your filthy mouse
Gotham: I’m sorry? Nightwing?? Aka a bat. Yeah no we got a copyright on that shit
Bludhaven: he ain’t a bat dipstick HES A BIRD it’s in the damn name
Gotham: BATS HAVE WINGS
They proceed to tackle each other
Metropolis: bad time to say this I’m sure but New York was where nightwing was first scene right?
New Yorker: don’t bring me into this
I need someone to wrap Donna Troy in a blanket and surround her with everyone that loves her and allow her to fit into her skin and find a sense of peace in knowing who she is <3
I also think she gets to punch Bruce Wayne in the face
Donna Troy cradling Dick Graysons face between her hands; I would die for you
Dick: I would die for you
Donna: I know hon, but it doesn’t mean the same thing coming from you
Dick, vaguely offended: hey!
Donna: Dickie baby, you’d die for a torn up piece or paper or something much less valuable like Bruce Wayne.
Donna: let’s face it, you dying for something/someone isn’t exactly a compliment, it means they’re breathing (optional)
Dick: …… I mean you’re not…. Wrong but i really don’t want to admit that
Donna now patting both sides of his face: dw I know you love me, even if you have a martyr complex
Dick:….
Jason:….
Tim:….
Dick: okay so was anyone gonna tell me Bruce is dating Joe Chills daughter or was I supposed to figure that out by myself.
Jason: HES WHAT
Tim:???????
Damian: I think I just threw up in my mouth
Cass: …is this that Freud guy you were telling me about?
Steph: somehow worse? I think?
Jason: Idk where does dating the daughter of your parents murderer fall on the Oedipus scale of morality?
Tim: more importantly where did you find out this information?
Damian: please tell me it’s a tabloid so I can bleach my brain of this conversation.
Dick: Babs tipped me off that something was up and I stalked em for a week
Tim: Ah classic
Jason: you really have one trick Grayson
Dick: Hey! No I do infiltrations, Tim and Cass are the stalker duo
Cass: *nods*
Jason: so… Bruce is actually dating the kid of the guy who offed mama and papa Wayne. That’s cold. I’m a little impressed actually.
Tim: Clark was RIGHT THERE
Dick: so was Selina
Steph: we could’ve had a Step wonder mom
Cass: you’re not adopted
Steph: is Wonder Woman was in this family I’d marry into it
Tim: *nods solemnly* Bernard would understand
Jason: Talia was there
Damian: that might be worse actually
Tim: nothing is worse than this
Dick: actually I might agree with Damian
Dick: anyway zatanna
Jason: didn’t you date her
Dick: that’s another timeline ignore it
Tim: Constantine
Damian: Dent
Dick: I’d take viki vale over this
Jason: same
Dick:…hey Duke can see into other realities right
Jason: depends on the writer..
Dick: when does he get back from his families
Tim: he stops by for 45 mins to steal some pastries and check his gear before patrol
Dick: … wanna see if we can get him to look into other realities and see the worst person Bruce has dated
Jason: yes
Tim: yes
Damian: no
Cass: yes
Steph: yes
Dick: you’re outvoted Damian I’ll see all of you tomorrow at the cave bright eyed and bushy tailed!
I am suddenly hyperfixating on Harry Potter? This was an unforeseen and unpleasant experience
Who the fuck forgot to tell me that humanities and social sciences are fun??? Like I decided to take gender studies for funsies as an elective. YALL?? This shit is so accessible?? And nice???
