ai does not belong in creative spaces. period.
Imagine Tim talking to about how he was at the circus the night of the Flying Grayson’s
Tim: Yeah, I mean watching them die really helped shape me into who I am today
Dick: …that’s great Tim
Tim: Though if I’m being honest it kinda scarred me for life
Dick: It scarred you for life?
I know this would probably never happen but it’s kinda funny to think about
any thoughts on dick haunting the narrative despite being very much alive ?
See my favorite part about this is that Dick doesn’t haunt the entire narrative. Usually when he’s mentioned in other people’s comics (roy,Wally etc) it’s something like “thank god for dick Grayson” or “gee I sure liked working with nightwing” or even “damn I hate the fact I have to do this but nightwing asked and like he doesn’t do that” the same way all the titans reference each other.
You might get a bit more reverence out of like raven? Or Clark? Casually saying Dick Grayson is their favorite or something
But Dick Grayson specifically haunts things that are literally in anyway related to Bruce Wayne (including Bruce) and it’s entirely their fault.
Bc to haunt a narrative one must not be accessible in the narrative imo. And every single one of the bats is too chicken shit to have a normal human conversation.
Bc like Dick does show up in other characters comics, he helps out in the birds of prey, most of the fab 5 have mentioned that he stops by whenever they’re lucky enough to have a solo run -DC GIVE DONNA TROY A SOLO RUN- he helps a lot of the younger teams, he works with the league.
Now GOD FORBID BRUCE CALL HIS SON WHEN HES MENTAL BREAKDOWNING.
Bc yeah he does haunt the Batman narrative. If I had a nickel for every time I turned the page on a Batman solo comic to suddenly get 2 pages of “dick Grayson, my ward the first Robin. My greatest achievement” spat at me I would have enough nickels to buy the comic bookstore
Or in a Robin comic “dick Grayson, the first Robin, he was the blueprint” like if yall wanna act like this pick up the phone and call the man.
Like despite what I and the fandom will tell you. There has never been a time where Dick and the bats weren’t on speaking terms (Jason excluded for reasons of murder and general bitterness) but even when Dick and Bruce hated being near each other -post Jason death- they could still work together.
They just decide to go “ah yes nightwing he’s great and he could probably help wish he was here anyway I’m not gonna call him”
People will bring up Red Robin but him and Tim were solid for like 99% of that so be so fr
Anyway all I’m saying is that Batman and his Russian nesting doll collection of ever shrinking robins need therapy and maybe medication but it’s okay I love them anyway
Roy: It's so unfair
Wally: What's unfair?
Roy: How so damn pretty Dick is!
Kori: *Positively smug* Of course he is beautiful. I tell him every day. Sometimes twice. Sometimes all night
Gar: *annoyed* It's so unfair! The guy could literally commit a crime and just smile his way out of it!
Wally: On that note, sometimes it's a good thing.
Roy: What?
Wally: One time, we got pulled over for speeding, and the cop let him go because he "looked trustworthy".
Gar: So?
Wally: I was driving.
I just- I know a lot of people don't like the Young Justice series because of how it destroys the canon timeline of the comics- BUT-
You guys don't know how much I love this duo, it's like, I don't know, they're brother and sister, they're siblings in everything but blood and I just love them so so much.
I recently saw a comment saying that Dick was the little brother who had the audacity to grow taller, and I loved it.
I think what I loved is that Dick really has the little brother energy like Robin in this show, and although I love Dick as an older brother, seeing him as the little brother of the group was amazing.
I think this is where my taste for reverse robin fics came from, I ended up enchanted with Dick as the little brother- lol
I miss them, so i'm going to watch the whole show again. 🤙
my friends r so talented. rb if ur friends are talented
he’s a fictional character to you, i know him personally
Part of me wonders if Merrilee avoided the mirror after Maysilee’s death? Too afraid to see her sister’s face staring right back at her. Did she avoid the color purple? Too afraid to look any more like her sister than she had to. Did people in town continue to call her Maysilee at times before realizing their mistake? Leaving her with a stark reminder that while she’d always be a twin she was no longer a part of a pair.
What I mean when I do not control the hyperfixation.
Saw someone on TikTok say that Dick was awful because he didn’t go to Jason’s funeral.
Dick was off world when Jason died, by the time he got back Bruce had already held Jason’s funeral.
In the DC universe there's a petition with over five hundred thousand signatures asking Batman to let Robin represent the USA on the male gymnastic team
