We Do A Little Silly

Omg look at how cute my baby and his dad are!!! The re so cute?!? Look at how worried Bruce is??? My babies??? How shocked and confused dick is???? Ughhhh my baby

Nightwing graduated from the Batman school of randomly appearing and the Deadpool school of superhero landings. And it’s peak BRO JUST SHOWS UP???

Brightwing

omg the symbolism like the first one and third walking like soldiers because they saw robin as a duty an obligation then the second one trying to walk like the first one cause he was a replacement and the first one ( dick) walking on a tightrope but someone pointed out how it looked like a noose so it could reference the time dick walked on those high electric cables as his city was exploding and also the way dick looks back at them like he feels guilty and his mother nickname for him slowly becoming the cause of children deaths and soldiers as it fades out in batman’s shadow ughhh

Stopppppppp

This is another thing the difference between those trained for duty, those not trained and those trained for showmanship.

Dick is gonna walk less seriously bc well! It ruins the magic doesn’t it? If he needs to concentrate on a tightrope?

If he can’t walk effortlessly it ruins the mystic of the whole performance? A child who can fly? Can only be impressive weightless so on and so on.

Also this was adorable!

Also MARY GRAYSON SEWING ON THAT LIL R FOR ROBIN ON DICKS UNIFORM???? The fact that that lil r has been made of metal since Tim vc the soft and careworn stitches Mary Grayson kept repairing over and over and over again?

Do you think that Dick stitched up the R on Jason’s costume when it ripped?

My feelings

:(

I like to think that dick always hugs or shows physical contact when he's with his friends or family when they come to visit him cuz he doesn't know whether they are real or a hallucination

saw someone said dick should apologize to jason in the comics for having putting him in arkham

i am sorry i think the f*ck not 😭 like i love jason as much as the next guy dmw but come on guys

“Jason was in Arkham”

“Dick wanted to put Tim in Arkham”

I sincerely apologize to my whump friends but I fear yall don’t know Jason Todd’s game

First let’s not talk about the fact the only person Dick put in Arkham who was miserable was himself. We aren’t gonna talk about it. Or the Arkham reform thing he was doing a the time or the other 600 things that were going on

Hell I won’t even talk about what Jason did in blackgate (WHWRE HE WAS INITIALLY) b4 he killed a hundred people to end up in Arkham we don’t need to talk about it

I won’t talk about the menace that is the hottest version of red head Jason Todd okay we have, as a society moved past that.

But genuinely for a second can you imagine that conversation

Dick guilt ridden: Jason, I- I owe and apology

Jason cleaning his crowbar: ….

Dick: I never should’ve put you in Arkham I’m so sorry being near the joker-

Jason: was literally part of the whole plan? Why the hell do you think I TRIED to get into it

Dick: exactly! I shouldn’t have indulged your worst impulses, fuck I should’ve brought you home or kept you with a league member

Jason: I would’ve killed Tim and kidnapped Damian to use as a barter tool with Ra’s Al Ghul. You know this. I need you to tell me that you know this

Dick: fuck Jay you were nineteen! That’s basically a fucking child

Jason: I’m so sorry weren’t you ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED AT 19? Didn’t you run the league for a couple months at 18? Do you think you could do more than I could at 19 dickface.

Dick: No Jason you don’t understand-

Jason: oh perfect Grayson just because I chose to become a crime lord and YOU decided to do the cringe fail hero gig. Which was really. Cringe and fail since it’s so obvious you either wanted to be dead or a supervillain

Dick: wha-that’s not true!

Jason: sure sure go say hi to Donna Troy’s grave for me

Dick:…..

Jason: ANYWAY just because I spent my teenage years outside of spandex building a criminal empire DOESNT MAKE IT LESS IMPRESSIVE THAN YOUR STUPID TITANS GROUP R I C H A R D

Dick quietly: I’mstillsorry

Jason: well im not sorry for the fact i strung you and damain up nude to reveal your identities, im also not sorry for stealing your suit and killing people in it, while we’re on that topic im also not sorry for STEALING BRUCES SUIT, im not sorry for beating tim up that shit was funny as fuck and I’m also not sorry for laughing when bludhaven blew up.

Dick: ….

Jason: so shut your fucking ass up talking about ‘oh I’m so sorry Jason’ like we didn’t spend the past decade trying to ruin each others lives

Dick: I NEVER TRIED TO RUIN YOUR LIFE

Jason: MY LIFES DREAM WAS MURDER ERGO YOU NOT LETTING ME DO THAT RUINED IT.

Jason: we WERE assholes to each other past tense and I will 100% be taking advantage of your raging guilt complex to pretend those things are equivalent to each other and now that we are all happy family bygones will be bygones whatever I can fully abuse you to get out of league level shit.

Jason: anyway what are you gonna do next? apologize to Tim for Red Robin

Dick guiltily: he’s the next stop

Jason: omg your actually doing an apology tour

Dick: I FEEL BAD OKAY

Jason: dude you know what I’ll indulge you, go try and apologize to Tim but when he LAUGHS you out of the room for being a fucking dumbass I’ll be there with popcorn

Dick grumbling: Steph accepted my apology to HER

Jason: yeah because everyone in this family was a dick to Steph and she deserved better.

Dick: yeah she was a phenomenal batgirl i wish we worked together more now that she’s spoiler

Jason: did she really hit Tim in the face with a brick

Dick: yep

readcomiconline.li dont show me singles in my area i dont care about sex i only care about batman

I'm still waiting for them to get back together....

I need in my life Tim Drake who does rely on adults but really only one and Bruce is jealous as fuck about it.

"Tim where's your spleen, why haven't you told anyone about this"

"I told Dick what you talking about"

"Tim you played baseball in outerspace why didn't you call for backup?"

"I called Dick"

Why didn't you tell us you were bisexual"

"Dick's known for years? Wym?"

You see my vision Bruce, Alfred, Jack Drake I need these adults pushing for Tim to talk to them or ask for help and this boy to just constantly be like Dick knows, I called Dick, why would I call you.

Dick's sitting pretty knowing everything not surprised by a single fact because if it's the stupidest thing or the most important guess what Tim called him.

The man knows and sees all because Tim heard once that you tell a trusted adult important stuff and well Tim has only ever trusted one.

Imagine Dick actually adopted Jason. Like that's so chaotic— especially when Jason comes back from the dead.

12 year old Jason: Hey, Dick? Since I'm adopted by you, does that mean you're my father?

18 year old Dick: ...I'm still too young to called dad so no, I'm just your legal guardian.

Jason: Okay, dad.

Dick, tearing up: Please no.

——————

Jason after resurrection as Red Hood: I am your son.

Dick dating Wally: Tf?????? How would I— JASON?

——————

Bruce: All of you are my sons.

Jason: Technically, I'm your grandson.

Damian and Tim: ?????? What.

Dick: Technically he's right. You've been a grandpa since I was 18.

Bruce: ...Fuck, I forgot about that.

Damian and Tim: WHAT THE FUCK?????

——————

Bruce and Jason arguing:

Bruce: You're grounded!

Jason: TF? You're not my dad, Dick is!

Dick: Please, for the last time, I'm not really your dad.

Jason's dramatic ass: GASPS?! I'M ADOPTED?!

imagine being so good at acting like everything is fine even the fandom thinks you are mentally stable ( dick grayson obviously)

You know that TikTok trend like POV: this is your emergency contact.

Imagine being part of a superhero team and your hyper competent team leaders emergency contact is one (1) very flippy acrobat who is 100% here and present in the moment and not being weighed down by the guilt of a thousand deaths. Nor is he seeing any of these shadowy corpses while assisting your team.

No he’s far far too stable for that?

Anyway here’s my list of my favorite unhinged Grayson moments (without panels tho if anyone asks I can prolly track em down)

-Dick licking a random substance of the ground and then going. Yup tastes like heroin

- pulling a gun on Roy Harper (outsiders divorced husbands arc)

- that fight between him and deathstroke

-that other fight between him and deathstroke

- teen titans robin nonsense

- secrets and masks hallucinajaybin being a shadowy amalgamation of ????

- Tim: please be Robin

Dick: how about uno fucking reverse

- literally like 80% of the Grayson Run (specifically any scene with tiger or midniter)

- the desert scene is rated separately bc it’s more insane on its own wdym you walked through a desert for like fuck knows how many days without food or water RICHARD

-bleeding himself to death near radioactive material bc your job is martyr

-bleeding himself to death for his not dad (it’s 100% his dad)

- is it mean to include that ooc time in Batman and Harley Quinn where she ties him up and it’s HEAVILY implied they fucked? Welp I’m including it anyway

- KEEPING THR DISCOWINY COSTUME AFTER MIRAGE??? RICHARD YOU HAVE MONEY USE IT

- young justice robins/nightwings laugh deserves its own mention

-threatening his dad with the promise of adopting his brother

There are more that I am forgetting I am sure. But in summary I love him he’s my son. The fact that he has this much responsibility bc he’s the best equipped worries me about the other characters mental stability

oh look both of my writing styles in one post

On the one hand, I want to write complex, richly crafted characters and explore their psyches and what makes them tick.

On the other hand, I want giant set piece encounters where two people whack at each other with swords five hundred feet in the air, and just when it looks like one of them has won, the other guy pulls out an even bigger sword.
