I was comparing and contrasting the plot points of AFTG and Die Free or Die a Failure to my roomate and they just looked at me and said:
“What even goes on in these books”
And then I realized how crazy “Yeah so his father is a serial killer and he’s on the run and plays a made up sport and then he gets involved in a mafia war and there’s gay people” must sound.
can’t believe i sold my soul to the gay not gay firefighter show every thursday from 8 to 9 pm. oh well maybe they will kiss this time

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
I present to you: Karaoke night with the Batfamily
Steph drags Cass to do a duet of “Take on Me” Steph is jumping around on stage out of breath while Cass surprisingly demolishes that high note
Dick blackmails convinces Jason to do a duet of “Bring me to life” by Evanescence where they spend the entire song duration competing with each other, both absolutely devouring the song. They’ll pretend like they didn’t just perform the most iconic duet but Steph and Babs have it on video. (They end up winning best performance, tied with Duke’s cover of Shut up and Dance)
Tim tries to get out of singing but Stephanie somehow forces him into performing “I want it that way” by the Backstreet Boys. He pretends to be unenthused at first but gets way too into it and eventually he ends up hogging the mic for half the night
Duke is the ultimate hype man, and when he isn’t hyping people up he’s singing the FUNNEST songs. His cover of Shut up and Dance? The entire family was cheering him on, even Damian couldn’t pretend that Duke didn’t just kill that song. (He ends up tied with Jason and Dick for best performance)
Neither of them can really sing and end up performing a competitive duet of Smooth Criminal which was extremely off key . They had a blast but they would never admit it.
Damian gets really competitive with Tim and he and Tim end up having a singing contest. Remember how I said Tim ends up hogging the mic? Well whenever Tim isn’t hogging the mic, Damian is trying to prove how his superior karaoke skills surpass Tim
Bruce was enjoying himself but then Dick decided to do a beautiful cover of Slipping Through my Fingers by ABBA and no Bruce wasn’t crying! He just had something in his eye! He then decided to leave early in order to work on a case
Jason sings Staying Alive for irony purposes because he would never miss the opportunity to make a death joke!
Steph, Cass, Babs and Duke perform the frattiest rendition of Boyfriend by Big Time Rush
Babs and Dick scream Mr. Brightside at the top of their lungs, which frustrates everyone because they both can fucking sing.
Alfred refuses to sing at first but after the entire family insists he sings “My way” by Frank Sinatra and everyone’s jaw dropped.
Andrew Minyard better than me fr because if my blue eyed situationship said "thank you, you were amazing" to me after I gave 110% at a fucking stickball game and then immediately gets kidnapped by his serial killer dad he conveniently forgot to tell me about, and I had to learn that my codependent worstie knew the whole time through "gentle persuasion"...
I'd be on the news.
Sometimes a family is you, your dead dad, your space mom that fucked off for two decades, your space grandpa/commanding officer, the inter dimensional wolf you found, and your brother that pulled you off the street like a flea ridden cat.
Oh? Dick's heart stopped and he had to be given adrenaline to restart it?
Nightwing (Vol. 4) #124
Sounds awfully familiar 😌...
Forever Evil #7
very tired of the ‘Dick Grayson is mostly a pretty boy with bad puns, golden retriever vibes’ trope. Give me German Shepherd Dick. Give me the ‘consummate performer’ Dick. The one all, brilliance, bloody smiles and showmanship, the one with razor sharp wit and charm made weapon. Dick who seamlessly switches between a million personas. The one who doesn’t know what to do when the show’s over. Give me the Dick no one wants to be on the wrong side of because Nightwing might not start battles, but he finishes them. The only one whose threats the entire Batfam (including Bruce) takes seriously. The one fear toxins can’t affect because he’s been to hell and back.
The Dick who unlike Jason doesn’t even mention how much he’s been fucked up and survived. The one the Joker knew he couldn’t break.
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.
