Dickie To Go Along With Jason's Design For "door, Opening" My In-progress Fic! My Handwriting Is Also

A character design/reference sheet for Dick Grayson in my fic "door, opening." Several full and partial-body drawings of Dick as Nightwing and in civilian clothing are surrounded by handwritten notes. Dick is depicted as lean and muscular, with brown skin and eyes and dark, curly hair. He is shown in acrobatic action poses, as well as performing gymnastics and aerial silks. He has many scars, and is drawn with bruises. A couple star stickers sheets and a smiley face are also drawn near the border of the page.
The handwritten character notes read:
"DOOR, OPENING"
character reference by cowboysorceror
NIGHTWING/DICK GRAYSON
- hypermobility/connective tissue dysfunction - dislocates/subluxes things very easily. Right shoulder is particularly bad. He won't get the surgery to repair it because of recovery time.
- explains most injuries with sports accidents - coworkers think he pushes himself too hard with difficult skills.
- minimal armor on suit - prioritizes mobility. Kevlar plates are thin, lightweight & flexible.
- kevlar weave also incorporated into the material - it's tough.
- packs pretty light - no big clunky utility belt - just essentials. Too much on his person breaks up aerodynamics & creates drag, & detracts from Nightwing's combat style
- operates very independently in Blüdhaven - collaborates frequently in Gotham & in New York with Titans when there is reason for it, but he almost always handles things in Blüdhaven alone
- blue caps to the escrima are metallic & conductive for electric shock
- Nightwing suit is insulated to protect against electricity
- teaching gymnastics & aerial arts at a studio in Blüdhaven
- coworkers have a running bet about # of siblings
Age: 26
H: 5'7"
W: 159 lbs
[small drawings of both the Romani and French flags]
- Graysons were gens du voyage, Roms en France. Sinti-Manus dialect.
- works mostly with kids, but also teaches circus arts community workshops sometimes
- silks are a favorite. His classes are very popular.
- Grappling + Curls = 90's hair. Kind of a look, though!

Tim Drake needs to give his parents back the same energy they gave him his whole life

Janet: Tim, what are you wearing? There is a gala tonight, you should be dressed by now.

Tim: *sucks air in through his teeth* Oh, unfortunately, other plans came up. Have fun at the gala!

---

*Jack and Janet come back to the manor after a long flight with dozens of artifacts to unpack and no Tim in sight to help*

36 hours after they reached out, Tim left them a voicemail: I'll be out of town for the next few weeks. If you need anything Mrs. Mac comes by twice a week, but really try not to be a bother to her. She's getting up there in age.

*Jack and Janet at a party trying to talk up Brucie about their latest archeological digs*

Tim: Mother, Father, dear. Your digs really are interesting, but I'm sure Mr. Wayne has better things to do than listen to your ramblings about your- ah- hobby.

I live for the bats not realizing how intimidating they are out of costume.

Like, they know how they come across while suited up, but they have no idea how scary they are as civilians.

Like, Bruce has an inkling, that's why the Brucie persona is so extremely stupid.

Dickie has no idea

Jason has trouble imagining himself as anything other than a malnourished preteen

Tim isn't physically imposing, but he sets people on edge

Steph has the musculature to break every single bone in your body

Cass seems to read your mind

Duke is kinda uncanny

...

Damian THINKS he's intimidating while actually just being adorable

Kate is very aware of how scary she is at all times. It's intentional

Don't take my brain vomit too seriously

everyone on this app yaps about bad media being better for fandoms but dsmp’s untapped and forever unexplored or poorly explored potential and general themes of attachment, grief and childhood and the fact that so much of it was accidental or improvised and the tight knit community that fell apart in less than two years makes it, in my humble and objective opinion, the single most haunting fandom i’ve ever been in. if you even care. clings to everyone like cobwebs i mean just look at all the sleeper agents and old urls that are posting about tonight lol YOU CAN’T ESCAPE
