Plz my friends actually stopped finding me annoying since I can talk about something other than Dick Grayson
Let me get it out
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
Current Bruce Wayne meeting All Star Batman and robing Bruce Wayne
C! BW: ā¦im- im sorry I mustāve misheard you bound to happen with the cowl⦠do you mind repeating what you said
ASBAR! BW: I donāt let Robin upstairs and make him hunt rats and bats for food in the cave
C!BW suddenly understanding why Jason kills people: ⦠do. You. Now
ASBAR! Bat: yeah why?
C! BW about to turn into Joe chill and end that worldās Wayneās:ā¦. I see
Or
ASBAR! BW: Iām sorry what?? Did?? You?? Say??
C!BW: I gave Dick a hug and told him? I was proud of him
āHe would not fucking say thatā is a Schrodingerās phrase when it comes to Batman. There is probably Batman run where he would say that. There is also probably a run where Batman would kill the other Batman for saying that.
notes app dick and kory again
in case anyoneās interested, I made a collage of every time Dick and Kory are cuddling during a Titans meeting. seriously
Dickkory is genuinely my ride-or-die. I will start a goddamn riot just to have my parents back.
Kon: If I was gay, it'd be for Tim or Bart. Tim: If I was gay, it'd be for Bart or Kon. Bart: If I was gay, it'd be for Kon or Tim. Cassie: OH MY FUCKING GOD I HATE YOU ALL
There are people on this earth who think Jason Todd solos nightwing..
Brother
Iām so sorry I love Jason
But like come on? Even the comic books disagree with you
Jason has literally been a Nightwing villain b4 he lost . Bad
Come on now
Dick Grayson being a fox in beast world is wrong
(Working with actual animals instead of the furry ones in the comic bc I can)
I disagree okay
Dick Grayson is 1000% a massive dog thatās like 99% wolf dna 1% dog dna. Massive terrifying ass canines with the slightly slanted reflective wolf eyes that look like satan himself came down and designed the Grimm okay. He also is the massive dog that behaves like heās a Pomi sized puppy stereotype
My evidence for this
- have you ever seen big dogs jump 10 feet in the air to go cuddle their owners. Dick 100% does the big dog defying gravity for sake of human affection and also too see if can vibes big dogs exude
- he is very very sweet but also if he crashes out heāll rip you esophagus out with his teeth (90s nightwing)
- he absolutely scruffs cat!Damian with his teeth
Follow up to this:
Tim is a Robin
Damian regularly tries to eat this Tim
Steph is 100% a Goldie (best girl)
Jason is the chihuahua that thinks a big dog as Robin
Jason RH is a rottie
Cass is a lil friendly church mouse (silent, adorable, can bring down the plague) or a rlly pretty rainbow snake your choice
Babs is a cat bc she and cats both sleep as close as humanly possible to computers
Now some of you might be like āBruce is a bat, Bruce is a Great Daneā wrong
Bruce has been herding around the league and his collection of tiny bird themed children thatās a whole as Shepards dog
Kori babs sucks ass (too many redheads)
Donnakori however (correct redhead ratio)
Is majestic
Forever trapped in each others orbits but gravity keeps us away (DickRoy)
Immediately followed by
Dick Grayson x anyone remotely morally ambiguous (I see u tiger, JGJ, Kori, Helena, Joey I see you and I love you)
Jason Todd x completely normal civilians (bc it would be so funny)
Or
Jason Todd x women that can kill him (asphyxiation via thighs or actually will shoot him)
Put Tim in a throuple as long as Kon is there (Bernard or Bart is ur choice)
Damian must follow his fathers footsteps and date dangerous women I fear (or a Superman what who said that)
And Stephanie brown should date me actually so no one
Tim: I canāt tell dick?? I donāt want him to think Iām crazy or not trustworthy bc Iām doing something reckless??!
Jason who saw Dick make out with a mark to steal something from his pocket when Dick was 17:ā¦
Bruce who saw Dick jump off a moving plane and hum the song āI need a heroā instead of calling for Superman:
Wally who say Dick go fuck it and infiltrate a sex trafficking ring as a stripper bc someone said he was too pretty to work for the mob:
Roy who has smacked dick out of delusions 15 times too many:
Clark who saw dick stay in a radioactive city for vibes:
Diana who has heard Donnaās concerned ramblings since she was like 12:
Damian who saw that Dick turned the bat ears into projectiles that can electrocute you:
Steph who saw the same thing:
Tim who refuses to believe Dick Grayson can do anything that isnāt brilliant, premeditated and completely the best option: I CANT HEāll be so disappointed:(
Listen it came to me in a dream donāt yell at me
New years approx 2 hours after midnight
The titans are at Donnaās apartment and all offensively drunk
Dick (most sober) : Iām not doing it
Roy (most drunk): DONT be a coward Grayson
Donna (2nd most drunk): YEAH put on the maid dress Grayson
Dick: THE MAID DRESS ISNT the problem its the fucking thong that goes with it
Wally(speedster metabolism is no match for Dick Grayson and high tech lab equipment more drunk than heās ever been): oh come on didnāt you give me shit when we were teens for not being āopen mindedā I didnāt sit through a 5 hour HR presentation on toxic masculinity at 15 for you to back out now
Garth (got high instead, currently flying higher than the moon, out of earths orbit with about 4 pounds of food INFRONT of him): do it do it do it do it
Dick: 1) you know I have no shame around any of you, that is not the issue. I am telling you I. Will. Not. Fit
Donna: damn tbh I thought they put all the dick in your name
Donna: or your personality
Wally: *wheezing*
Dick: listen i will wear the maid dress im not a pussy, Iāll never back out of a dare. IF you let me wear my regular underwear
Roy: deal
Dick goes to Donnaās room to change
Donna: I couldāve sworn I bought the menās one
Roy: you probably did
Donna: so was he being at bitch cuz if so he has to do the forfeit
Wally: we once dared dick to call slade Wilson daddy in front of Bruce and he did it the next day, you think that THIS is where he draws the line
Garth (has reached zen no thoughts head empty): might still be 2 small, both things can be true *holding index finger up on each and and joining them together in front of his face why crossing his eyes*
Donna in a whisper: is he really that big?
Roy immediately: yes
Donna: you answered that way too quickly
Wally: well we did share a locker room for like 2 decades
Donna: Iām sorry? Did you like compare?? Or something
Garth: noooooooo (honest)
Wally: ā¦occasionally
Roy: idk what yall are on about I just fucked the guy
Donna: YOU DID WHAT???
Garth: ????????????????
Wally: HUH? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN????
Roy realizing this was when they were on the outsiders,very toxic with one another and on opposite paths of self destruction: Okay listen it was a weird time for us, Donna was dead and-
Donna: SO YOU FUCKED THE NEXT BLACK HAIRED BLUE EYED PERSON ON THE TEAM
Garth (still high): wait I was on that team? Why didnāt you fuck me? I have black hair and blue eyes
Wally patting his shoulder in a supportive manner: not enough daddy issues.
Garth: *nods understandingly* ahhhhh
Roy: AS I was saying, it was a weird time I had my whole thing with Cheshire, you were dead which means dick wanted to die more than usual. Anyway it happened I love him but letās not do that again
Garth: but would you? Like without the toxic would you
Roy: Raw. Next question
Donna *did not need to know this about dick but also mildly impressed* curiosity is manās greatest sin and as a feminist itās her job to even that playing field even if itās cursed knowledge:⦠so how big is heā¦
Roy doing the hand size thing you know the one: big
Donna: damnnnn
Garth (still very high has ascended to a 5th dimension can smell colors): the real reason oracle is in a wheelchair
Wally: *falls out of his chair*
Donna: GARTH
Roy: *burst out laughing*
i think the reason we havenāt gotten a proper adult fab5 titans comic since the early aughts is because it would simply be too powerful. roy and wally arguing about parenting pre-teens while garth looks his google calendar to check his kidās birthday. donna and dick get into a shouting match and the universe explodes. everyone (but donna) is privately very mean about terry. wally thinks about fatherhood for a single second and vibrates through the earths crust. dick has decided to passively kill himself again and everyone gets upset at him. garth just wants to relax for one gd second. roy is actually pretty well adjusted, all things considered. any meaningful portrayal of that hyper-dependent traumatically bonded boundryless ouroboros of a friend group would melt the pages itās printed on. there is something sincerely wrong with them
Have I read all of these⦠no
Will I start⦠soon
But everyone read Steph brown sheās 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 Brownās appearances from her debut up to the 2011 Flashpoint reboot (not including New 52 continuity).
āTim Drake never got enough recognition in Gotham.ā
ARE YOU JOKING???
HES THEIR LIL GUY???
There isnāt one hero from the main Batfamily who doesnāt canonically like tim???
Hell even Jason think Tim is āthe best of usā (much to my chagrin, the beef between the two middle children is always so iconic to me) and JASON HAS TRIED TO KILL HIM
Like Jason?? If it was Jason??? Who never got enough respect Iād get it?? Not entirely bc in recent comics (Nightwing -specifically the 2021 annual for one instance but honestly anytime these two interact in rebirth and Gotham war)
Dick isnāt in Gotham bc he didnāt get any respect and he fucked off and became the justice leagues favorite lil guy and then turns out Bruce just sucked at people thing and he was actually secretly also his lil guy
Babs is literally depicted and omnipotent 1/2 the time and while I think fanon exaggerates her strengths a bit too much (or just leaves her out entirely) and canon disrespects the sanctity of her character all the time the CHARACTERS in the series donāt
Anyway
THE PERSON WHO NEVER EVER GETS ENOUGH CREDIT AND IS LOOKED OVER BY BW THE MOST
Is STEPHANIE MOTHERFUCKING BROWN
NOT ONLY WAS SHE THE FUNNIEST, MOST CHARMING AND LIKABLE BATGIRL (Iām right be quiet) SHE WAS AND IS ALWAYS JUST A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MUCH LATER STAGES OF BATMAN AND ROBIN (dick and Dami edition) SHE GETS DOGGED ON
BRUCE DOESNT THINK SHES GOOD ENOUGH FOR WAYY TOO LONG
JASON (fun mirror horror landcore but yeah theyāre not friends)
DICK DIDNT THINK SHE COULD DO IT (he was wrong, he realized this like a good boy)
TIM GOD DONT GET ME STARTED ON THIS LIL SHIT (affectionate)
Dick walking into the batcave, with clenched fists
Dick under his breath: I love my family I love my family I love my family I love my family
Tim and Damian standing awkwardly next to each other
Tim: sooo donāt be mad
Dick: I scheduled this day of 2 and a half years ago, you know what itās like scheduling a day off 2 and a half years before you take it?? I had raven check auspicious calendar dates??
Damian: couldnāt? You have taken one earlier
Dick pulling an a5, 500 page notebook miraculously out his suit: hmm letās see why didnāt I think of that? Maybe itās because Iām booked and busy every day of my life? My Google calendar looks like lights flashing at a rave.
Dick: so you have 25 mins, before I call Kori to pick me up if it takes longer than that call Clark or Jason
Tim: well.. thatās kinda the problem
Dick: 24 mins
Tim: wha- that wasnāt a minute
Dick: give me the cliff notes or i make it 10 mins
Tim very quickly: redhood and Superman have both been mindcontrolled but no one knew about Jason being also brainwashed so Bruce thought he fell off the wagon and is torturing Superman and is going after Jason right now and he wonāt answer any communications from us and has barricaded us inside the house if you come in you canāt leave and we really donāt know what to do here because Bruce probably wonāt believe us
Damian: also Alfred is on vacation and youāre the only one allowed to cook in his kitchen so if we are all trapped here Iād rather like to eat something that isnāt one of Timothyās creations
Tim: okay boiling the pasta in 2 cans of monster was a THOUGHT experiment I didnāt eat it
Damian: I SAW YOU EATINF IT
tim: ONE TIME TO TEST MY THEORY
Damian: WHAT POSSIBLE THEORY COULD YOU BE TESTING
TIM: WHETHER MONSTER ENEGRY COOKS PASTA ARE YOU LISTENING? UOU GOTTA TRY IT FOR QUALITY CONTRO-
Dick: shut up! Both of you. If I get you out of the house and help you taken all of them down, none of you can call me until the world is ending or someone is dyingā¦
Tim: deal
Damian: I suppose
tomorrow i will get my life together. if iām not sleepy
Well itās less direct comic panel and more a lot of implicit stuff but I have a few saved and a few that I remember things vaguely happening
But Jason Todd canonically resents Nightwing for being the perfect son
And for following Bruceās teachings which he deems frankly ineffective and useless.
As well as feeling that he will never be able to live up to Nightwings legacy
(Feat Jasonās hallucinations)
But Dick Grayson is another story
Because Nightwing is Batmanās pride and Joy. Proof the the concept of the child hero and one of the first second gen heroās who got justice league level respect without taking over a mentors titles
Meanwhile
Dick Grayson is his brother
And sometimes these two come into conflict like in under the redhood
You can see in the image here that when bludhaven got destroyed
Initially Jason wasnāt happy, his face was shadowed and he was genuinely upset and then Bruce screamed Dicks name and Jason immediately remembers himself and returns to taunting Bruce
Jasonās relationship is bad with nightwing bc he sees nightwing as another hand in Batmanās crusade
Dick has been Jasonās hero since long before he put on the uniform
And here is where I struggled to find more images
But Jason Todd and Dick Grayson have a completely separate relationship
Despite dick and nightwing being the same guy itās very obvious when Jason is talking to Dick his Big Brother and Nightwing Batmanās lil perfect solider
They can insult each other and joke around and be supportive with one another
And Dick Grayson will always have Jason Toddās back if not the red hood
There was a panel in I think the Nightwing 2021 annual where Jason was accused of murder and Dick goes to talk to him and Jason immediately goes āI didnāt do itā and Dick replies I believe you ājust like that?ā āJust like thatā
And of course there was the iconic Nightwing and Batman fight during Gotham war with my boy did so well in he shouldāve won
Anyway Dick and Jason are friends and brothers
Nightwing and red hood despise each other
Thank u for coming to my ted talk
I love how severely Jason refuses to differentiate between Bruce and Batman while also refusing to acknowledge that Nightwing and Dick Grayson are the same dude
One of the stuff I hate about reading Batman comics is that artists will drawing shit like this:
And swear to me that these are the waynes
More headcanons bc Iām alone on new years
(Yes precrisis Dick became nightwing at 19 but too much shit happens and I mix timelines DONT YELL AT ME)
But I love the idea that Dick was just pint sized for all of his Robin run. Like heās an acrobat we can fully utilize the fact he was mid waist sized for nearly every adult he interacted with until he was like 16-17.
Late bloomer Dick Grayson who can pass for 12 at 15
And then him and Bruce fight and Dick becomes nightwing and all that jazz
And finally FINALLY his growth spurt hits and he drops the baby fat and all that in like 4 months.
And then he becomes nightwing
And he went from like 4ā0-4ā10 during his whole Robin run and now heās cresting at 6ā0
And living with Wally means that the boy EATS SO MUCH VERY FAST bc u snooze you lose
So he packs on the pounds and skips that awkward gangly stage and all the adorable lil baby fat on his face is sacrificed to the puberty gods in exchange for a sharp jawline and sharper cheekbones
And the titans and the league donāt rlly get along in the early years so we can assume the only person from the league dick has seen or spoken to is Clark
And then they meet again
And the justice leagues BABY is now a like a full grown man
Like heās GROWN
And Bruce is going through a crisis bc yeah heās not dicks dad according to dick but he watched him grow up, he raised him?
He was there for every play, show, report card, every doctors appointment and his boy was so small
And now Dick his tiny little Robin is well heās damn near Bruceās height?
He somehow turned around and missed his boy becoming a man
He might not be Dicks dad but Dick is definitely his kid
And his kid isnāt a kid anymore?
And then thereās the voice??
Because sure nightwing jokes around all the time but in comparison to the lil bobbin Robin with his āHOLY āā- BATMANā and his bad puns and his habit of bat-ifying literally everything in existence
But when heās in charge?
Of a team?
When heās given responsibility
Yeah no heās calm, commanding and authoritative. Heās who everyone in the titans looks to for orders even if it means turning their back on the bat.
And yeah?
Heās proud, so so proud of the amazing man Dick grew into both because and despite of him.
But hes also in misery because he feels like he missed that. He wasnāt standing by Dick through that. How could he be when Dick is too hurt to call and Bruce is too scared to ruin things by calling?
Dick Grayson was always his greatest pride and joy, his biggest achievement and now⦠his boy doesnāt need him anymore
Then Jason comes back
And heās bigger and meaner and angrier than all hell and Bruce wonders if heās cursed to never watch his boys grow up.
(Thank god Tim refuses to get taller)
-I am working on a fic for this but I am a bad writer so if anyone has recs plz donations
Me: I really like dc canon and frankly I think that fanon flanderizes the characters to the point where they are unrecognizable
Also me: Dick and Jason are drinking buddies,
Tim has put kon, Bernard and Steph in a gc called āthe rosterā and dipped.
Dick is not allowed to meet Barbaraās friends bc they all like him too much and then itās rlly hard to bitch about him. (This is actually kinda canon thank u Dinah lance in birds of pray lmao)
The reverse of this is also true but for Dicks exes and Barbara like they get along TOO well.
Babs and Kori are friends.
Babs and Donna are sworn enemies. (Mutual)
Dick gets a different signature food with each of his siblings except Steph cuz they get smoothies. ļæ¼
Dick keeps trying to get Steph and Donna to meet up but Everytime he tries Gotham gets blown up
Damian refuses to sneak pets in a trench coat bc itās bad for them to be squished.
Duke is the only bat who knows about the mpreg joker story
Tim and Jasonās only texts to each other are āhelpā or āyou lil shit what did you do!!?!ā
Tim, Jason, Cass and Duke all like the discowing suit
Steph and Damian hate it
Damian says heās spending the weekend not with his dad and everyone assumes Bruce and talia are trying split custody but he needs to bitch about Bruce so he goes to bludhaven
Donna and Dick get drunk together and get progressively more and more sappy about how they should move in together and how much they love each other, youāre amazing no youāre amazing.
Roy and Dick are besties who text like a divorced couple trying to coparent
Dicks exes are in a discord server called āraw. next questionā and they have channels called āred heads onlyā āalso dated his brotherā ātried to kill himā etc
The redheads donāt have names in this discord āredhead 1ā āred head 2ā āredhead 3ā and so on
They also donāt discuss dick in this server at all
Bruce calls dick for ideas about the Brucie Wayne persona and also when he just doesnāt get why people are mad at him.
Dick calls wally for help with menial tasks
Tim is a big big big fan of THC (same)
Dick goes to raves
Jason is actually the DARE Robin
An image of Dick at a rave went viral on Twitter and Bruce had a mental breakdown so did Jason
Stephanie will never ask Bruce for anything but she buys a 10$ coffee every morning on his card bc of that video of people saying young people canāt buy houses bc of Starbucks and avocado toast.
Jason has a video of 19 yr old Dick spitting at a police officer and he sent it on the family gc when he found out dick went undercover as a cop. It is one of 5 messages he has sent.
Everyone of the Bats is some shade of bisexual
Dicks house is the defacto Bruce is being a lil bitch for the bats and literally everyone who is affiliated with Bruce as long as you bring liquor youāre welcome
Garth and Dick watch sad movies together
Tim and Bruce watch all the bond films together
Damian and Dick watch bird documentaries together
Jason doesnāt watch tv bc heās a secret hipster (he doesnāt have a tv they keep blowing up.)
Linda has absolutely asked Dick to swing with her and Wally and Dick told Wally about this and Wallyās only reaction wasā¦āsoooo is that a yesss or a no?ā
The fab 5 titans all hate each others exes, refuse to acknowledge any guilt their friend had in the matter , and will absolutely pretend none of them have dated (they have all dated)
Bruce is in absolute denial that his children date. Like he knows dick has dated people but he assumes that it is kindergarten dating āah dick spent the night at Barbaraās they must really like holding handsā āBernard and Tim are moving so fast I mean I saw one of them kiss the other on the cheek??ā Meanwhile he has traumatized all robins to ever Robin bc him and Selina Kyle canāt keep their hands right themselves
Also me: cognitive dissonance thank you for your service
Dick has like 25million ig followers, donna does his photos
Tim has a very popular shitpost account on Twitter from his pre Robin days that has statements like āif i was Batman I would simply barricade Arkhamā and āstalking Nightwing rn we are up to 120 flips and 30 quipsā¦. There is no else hereā
I love how severely Jason refuses to differentiate between Bruce and Batman while also refusing to acknowledge that Nightwing and Dick Grayson are the same dude
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"
Dick gets equally excited helping Superman with any hero and helping Gotham take down mind controlled Batman
And
He equally dreads working with Bruce on a case in Gotham and getting punched in the face by mind controlled Superman
Bruce is 100% the favorite tho heās like a lil loser cat whose a gremlin and ruins everything u own and or will own or make but heās my babbyyyy guys
āaverage person eats 3 spiders a yearā factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT FINAL LINE OMG EHAT
Dick is a pretty boy. Everyone knows it, except him.
There is an unwritten rule about not hitting him in the face, everyone follows it, (even from his time as Robin some people already followed this rule). His siblings when by miracle they train together. His team when they get together to practice strategies and fighting methods. Even the damned villains and evildoers know not to hit the pretty bird in the face.
Dick never finds it strange. Somehow, he thinks it's simply because people have learned that punching him in the face isn't really going to stop him, if they're looking to confuse him, hitting the back of his head is more effective.
It's not until a drug dealer accidentally hits him in the nose for the first time in years, breaking it, that he notices something strange. How could he not? The battle stops for a moment because his companions start yelling at him, telling him that his face is off limits, and the dealer apologizes.
Dick barely blinks and stops them, then goes to his apartment to clean up the blood, the pain not even bothering him at this point. That's why he doesn't understand why not only his team makes a fuss about it the next day, but they even call his siblings to tell them what happened. He's not even that hurt ??????
The only other person who doesn't make a fuss about it is Batman, who has punched Dick in the face enough times to find it odd. Nobody is happy with Batman upon discovering that fact.
