imagine that in order to know if someone is an hallucination or not, dick throws something at them if they catch it is really them if it goes through how ever it is an hallucination and everyone just thinks that that is how he just greet people
Oooh that’s fun! I will now ask that everyone reblog this with a weird way dick avoided dealing with the hallucinations
I’ll start
I like to imagine that dick has enough people on direct comm so if he says something in response that doesn’t turn out to be to a real person everyone’s just like. Oh! Dicks on comms.
Even like babs bc I love the non existent beef between the titans and the bats so they are 100% not on the same comm line and babs can’t break cyborgs security so she’s just like “oh look he’s talking to the fucking titans again” and minds her business
And the titans are like “oh he’s dealing with the bats” and leave him be bc they’d rather die than deal with the bats
And Donna from the grave is violently face palming at her idiot and his collection of idiots
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 that’s 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 he’s 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 he’ll 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 “Bruce is a bat, Bruce is a Great Dane” wrong
Bruce has been herding around the league and his collection of tiny bird themed children that’s a whole as Shepards dog
Canon Nightwing: *locks doors, barricades windows, changes his number once a month* plz god no one talk to me I have too much shit to do
Fanon Nightwing: :D hugs GUYSSSSSS Jason won’t talk to meeeee :( everyone in this family doesn’t like social interaction except me so I must smother them <3 Timmy my baby needs to teach me how to use the new computers bc my baby bird is so smart.
Canon Nightwing: *disappears for 3 months bc he was kidnapped and tortured, gets out himself, learns a new skill that’s absolutely morally … questionable makes about 20 ‘allies?’ gets a new stalker and a textbook of trauma he will compartmentalize and never think of again.
Fanon Nightwing: *vague torture for a week that one of his brothers (usually Jason) saves him from and now the next 30-40 chapters will be spent in recovery from this severe trauma*
I genuinely love how in batfam fanfics….
Dick is like: little D (Damian), Timmy Tim, little wing (Jason) I’m on my way my baby bros!!!
And then in canon….
Dick: *perpetually perturbed by his codependent siblings but knows he’ll never not answer cause who else is gonna pull their dumbassses out the gutter*
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
Tim: I can’t tell dick?? I don’t want him to think I’m crazy or not trustworthy bc I’m doing something reckless??!
Jason who saw Dick make out with a mark to steal something from his pocket when Dick was 17:…
Bruce who saw Dick jump off a moving plane and hum the song “I need a hero” 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 Donna’s 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 isn’t brilliant, premeditated and completely the best option: I CANT HE’ll be so disappointed:(
And to prove a point
Best Damian and Steph moments (I love them)
LOOOK SHES TEACHING HIM OUT TO CHILL IN A BOUNCY CASTLE LOOK AT THEM
Teasing and bickering (also look at how small Damian was and how he’s so big he’s grown so much omg o didn’t even realize until I had to go back to all my old ass screenshots omg)
Pfttttttttttt
The most sibling
Tee heee
He’s such a little shit to her sometimes tho and SHE STILL LOOKED AT THE LITRLE GREMLIN AND WENT - YEAH NO HE NEEDS SOME WORK BUT I GOT IT- IGH I LOVE HER
Life lessons (no I don’t have a less grainy version)
Steph: provides meaningful development and fundamentally impacts Damian’s character
Damian: *slurs*
THE SIBLINGS EVER
thank you for coming to my ted talk
Dickroy is them sparring, dick beating the absolute hell out of Roy, and then kissing him so Roy cant be mad at him.
I feel like I made myself clear on the fact I do not like dickbabs as a ship
I love Barbara Gordon
My hatred of this ship is because Dick and Babs are stoppers for each others development
Babs is so much better with the birds of prey and her interactions with characters like Dinah lance are gold.
Her and Dick suck together. (IN MY OPINION)
And babs being with Bruce, Dick, Jason and Tim in a collection of canon and non canon works sucks not just cuz of the weird vibe but bc she is
And I am stressing this
Too good of a character for this
Shit
It’s why I don’t like when people still put Steph together with Tim
Steph is awesome
Tim is a professional gremlin
Let them stay friends
Anyway my hatred of DickBabs doesn’t mean I don’t love when these two interact I just firmly prefer it in the flirty banter of friends direction
Also and I cannot stress this enough
Don’t use my posts where I shit on their relationships to diss babs I love babs sm and she’s a great character just not for the dude they keep backtracking development on to keep together.
(I will say Tom Taylor has converted me on my distaste for what it does to babs somewhat not entirely tho I hate his Grayson characterization in general. Maybe the Dan watters run will bring me back around to this ship cuz last chapter the dickbabs was a highlight and not a detriment (cuz it used to be my favorite)
"Oh Bruce is a good dad if you think he's a bad dad you don't engage in canon"
YALL BE SO ASTRONOMICALLY FR.
like Bruce loves his weird collection of Bat themed children but ffs he is a C- at best.
I write bad Dick Grayson and TMA fanfiction on ao3 follow me @imtired_likerllytiredI literally keep creating and deleting accounts on this hellsite lurker since age 8
