-BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FACT DICK GRAYSON WOULD NEVER CHEAT ON HIS PARTNER
Like EVER
Also despite the fact I am a Talia hater (this is a joke -I hate her the same way a 12 yr old hates their stepmom call me dick Grayson the absolutely unearned beef I have with this woman) the SHIT SHE DID TO DAMIAN IN MORRISONS RUN NO JUST NO
- BROUGHT TO YIU BY THE THIRD FACY THAT SELINA AND DICK NEVER DID ANYTHING AND SAYING THEY DID IS LYING NO DONT SHOW ME THE COMIC PANEL I HATE IT IK SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE BRUCE JEALOUS NOT MY SELINA KYLE
- brought to you by the fact RAVEN WOULD NEVER MANIPULATE DICK THE WAY SHE DID IN NTT OKAY WE IGNORE IT AND MOVE ON
- brought to you by the fact that Roy and Dick… actually no these two have a degree at punching below the belt nothing is off limits they might actually be each others Roman empires
Headcanon that bludhaven hates heroes with a flaming passion bc theyre just cops in tights but love Nightwing and therefore vehemently deny his hero status to anyone and everyone.
Like there is no official Nightwing merch bc he’s a criminal he’s committing a crime okay vigilante justice is in fact not legal and he’s not TECHNICALLY on the justice league and he’s NOT TECHNICALLY the leader of the titans anymore. But there are about 400 different Etsy stores that make hoodies, crop tops, joggers, sweats, sunglasses, bracelets, t shirts with nightwings logo or some art of him on them.
Like they love this guy and will get into beef with any Gotham national who tries to claim Nightwing is THEIR hero.
1) hes not a hero he’s a criminal fuck you
2) you have a hero and just bc he’s shit at his job and needs our guy (who is NOT a hero) to help him sometimes doesn’t MEAN SHIT
people are walking around with tiny v shaped blue tattoos or embroidered on clothing but again NOT A HERO BLUDHAVEN DOESNT DO HEROS
There are coffee shops with bad nightwing pun names nightbird, beanwing, nightwinging it and so on
Every third piece of graffiti is this man’s logo
Every sandwich place or fast food chain has a ‘secret menu item’ that’s not actually secret bc everyone orders it and it’s just one of their normal items dyed blue (sodas, desserts, burger buns, condiments so on) some places will sell wings fried in blue panko bread crumbs and call them them ‘nightwings’ ofc these are ALL off the menu you can’t see these items and if you try to order them out of the city you get weird looks.
Superman goes on tv and says Nightwing is one of his favorite hero’s and bludhaven riots. wtf nightwing is your favorite hero you fuckin poser
1) nightwing isn’t a hero he’s a criminal so back off
2) he’s ours you and your frou frou fancy city that hasn’t been nuked by a sentient pile of radiation can fuck RIGHT off
Naturally the only person in bludhaven who is unaware of this is Dick Grayson bc tbh this man is too busy to give a fuck about what his city thinks of him. They trust him to get shit done. Good that’s all he needs okay he has 22 reports he needs to log he’s busy.
Tim Drake professional nightwing fanboy however is fucking furious about this because.
A) dick was a GOTHAM hero FIRST and bludhaven can suck it
B) fuck you nightwing isn’t just a a hero he’s THE HERO and the BEST hero and don’t be rude bc you have a complex
C) all of the cool nightwing merch only ships around bludhaven so has to get it ordered there and it’s just a hassle and he’d pay double he swears just let him get it delivered to where he is please Everytime he stops by bludhaven he leaves with 10 new pieces of nightwing merch and bc he has so much. Damian doesn’t think he notices when some of his doubles mysteriously go missing. He does.
D) since they are anti hero they are firmly unhelpful whenever he or Steph show up bc a case has lead them to the city
The one plus side was watching Jason Todd having a mental breakdown bc apparently in bludhaven redhood counts as a hero and is therefore hated.
“Yous worked with the bat yous a hero thems the rules”
“I KILL PEOPLE”
“Yeah so do cops and people always call them heroes”
“Okay but I kill people to protect the general public I put down scum”
“Cops say they do that too”
“I- okay you know what I’m a hero fine okay. Why isn’t nightwing a hero”
“Vigilante justice is a crime”
“I’m documentably worse than a vigilante”
“But you have worked with the bat”
“For money yeah”
“See you even get paid, face it you’re a hero which means you suck”
“You realize Nightwing has worked with the bat right like way more than I have”
“Listen that ain’t his fault okay, the bats incompetent and so are the rest to you idiots. He’s a nice guy and a good neighbor don’t mean he’s a hero”
“I- what the fuck is in this cities water”
“I don’t fuckin know but it’s prolly better than whatever gothams got in its harbor”
“I- yeah you’re probably right”
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.
I love being in psych bc I learn shit like
Men’s brains get less sexually aroused when they smell women’s tears compared to saline solution (based on BOLD signals from fMRI)
Which means rapist just do it for the game and the “oh what she was wearing” “he can’t control himself” “men have urges” thing is wrong scientifically as well as morally, logically, ethically and all the other ly’s
So if you say this I’ll take a guess and say if I were to fMRI ur brain there would be no activity.
Dick Grayson and Donna Troy should get platonically married plz ideal besties
Also plz fic recs for them
Bane holding Dick dressed as Batman: I promise I will break your back as well
Bane attempts to snap dicks spine
Dick: *bends*
Bane: *straightens Dick back and tries to snap dicks spine over his knee*
Dick ‘I wanted to be a contortionist in the circus’ Grayson: bends to accommodate shape of knee
Bane: wut
Dick: … I’m Batman?
Bane: …
Dick: idk man it seemed appropriate for the moment
Bane:….
