This Is Actually Peak Omg

I love how severely Jason refuses to differentiate between Bruce and Batman while also refusing to acknowledge that Nightwing and Dick Grayson are the same dude

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

what is your favorite fic of all time ?

The Nightwing protocol by purple soot

I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff

Dick Grayson was so abnormal as a child but so normal as an adult which leads me to believe he’s a liar.

Like 8yro dick stared into the abyss (Bruce Wayne’s entire personality as viewed through the windows of one’s eyes to the soul bc he’s a creepy 8 yr old ofc he can tell ur life story from the amount of light reflected in your eyes don’t be dumb) and instead of running away screaming he just nodded like that made complete sense and then went

I need to look like a traffic light to fight crime bc the big guy is into thematics and that all makes perfect sense to me

And Dick as an adults is like

“What are you doing?” *pinches no bridge* “no that’s stupid don’t be stupid”

“No I don’t think dead bodies are a healthy escalation”

“Idk man when I’m sad I call Clancy ya know my therapist I don’t traumatize random strangers?”

Like yeah sure he has anger issues I would also have them if I had his life

And he’s like suffered hallucinations sometimes (after living in Gotham who wouldn’t?)

But he has like friends and hobbies and seems like the type of dude who’d wear flannel and take you to a dog friendly farmers market for organic lavender honey but also the best pulled pork sandwich of your life for a first date.

Like normal guy with quirks

Vs

Might be the anti Christ

So he’s lying

(But it’s also funny to think that Dick accidentally developed himself into being a normal dude and then him and Bruce fought bc Dick no longer matched is insane- I disagree with this bc no they just can’t communicate also nothing in Dicks internal monologue bodes well for his mental health)

Like 1000% lying

Like he still does the creepy giggle to scare criminals when no other hero’s are around

He definitely does like ventriloquy stuff where he’ll make people think there are children’s ghosts trapped inside cargo

Like he absolutely has made the riddler cry out of sheer wtf

Nvm I’ve somehow clutched a pass I will learn nothing from this stressful lesson

Who let me reread outsiders (2003) instead of studying for my finals. I’m crying all over my laptop

How I picture Brucie Wayne’s birth in the battinson universe.

8yr old Dick Grayson: so B I gotta ask

Battinson: hn

8yr old newly Robin Dick Grayson: do you really think that people don’t suspect the crazy Rich secluded billionaire who disappeared for years to be Batman and then takes in a child only for ‘I’m vengeance’ to appear with a child at the same time.

Battinson: hnnn

DG: nonono like no offense but like don’t you think it’s a little …obvious… like marvel movies exist..

Battinson: hnnn what do you propose I do then?

DG: duh you gotta make sure it’s impossible for you to be Batman

Battinson: hmm so I should plan an event where we are both spot-

DG: get drunk and swim in a fountain

Battinson: ???

DG: if Bruce Wayne is dumb he can’t be Batman

Battinson: Bruce Wayne is the head of one the most successful companies in the worl-

DG nodding along: yep all thanks to the amazing help he hired to do the work for him while he search for the cure to polio in the Sahara desert

Battinson: the polio vaccine already exists Dick

DG hand placed on forehead like a fainting damsel: oh it’s so sad about poor Brucie you know, dumb as a rock that one. Didn’t get an ounce of his parents intelligence thank god he got lucky enough that the people he surrounds himself with are loyal to his parents and aren’t stealing money from him.

Battinson: Robin I’m really not followi-

DG rolling his eyes and grabbing B’s face: I’m telling you to play himbo with heart of gold. If people think you’re sweet and pathetic, they’ll (A) underestimate you (B) not question why you disappear for months (C) pathetic good looking idiots get sympathy points.

Battinson: and how would you know this

DG who got adopted by a billionaire who won’t say no to anything he says bc puppy dog eyes: …….

Battinson: …fair point

DG: worlds greatest Detective he says

found this reverse robin au, where like dick not being adopted first changes everything like there was no robin, tim cass and jason were never adopted ( dw cass still has babs) and like birds of prey exist but they don’t work with batman idk if i am explaining myself right here but it is just so good and like i genuinely think it would go down like this in a reverse robin au

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63476209

This was the best reverse robin AU that doesn’t exist in my head

THE ACCURACY!!!

The way that the BATKIDS find ways to do/be good outside of the bat even in shit situations

(Ahhh Jason how you will eternally doomed to exist on the spectrum of gray)

AND DICK AND DAMIANS RELATIONSHIP AND HOW GREY EVERYTHING IS BC WELL??? The LIGHT IN BEUCE WYANES LIFE ISNT THERE YET???

Also dick having an instant connection with Batman vs ‘weird adult I hope he’s not a creep’ and it’s billionaire playboy philanthropist Bruce Wayne. Like bro can just sense that something’s not right with that one??

Also this ties into my lil internal AU. That I will gladly share.

I like the idea that things just inexplicably lighten around dick Grayson. Bc I was looking for a reason in canon that would explain the silly goofy dick and Bruce Batman Robin adventures vs the current dark angsty shit. Bc in canon going ‘it’s been 80 years and media has changed’ doesn’t really work.

So I like the idea that even monsters take one look at Dixk Grayson and decide that yeah even they can’t fuck that up and good men who lose their way look at him and go ‘oh I was absolutely heading the wrong direction lemme just turn myself around and head back on track thank ya kindly’ ya know?

Also every wasn’t at the circus but they all met dick Grayson bro really said ‘multiversal constant’

Anyway this was phenomenal thank you my dear anon for the rec.

Everyone should read this? I will be following the author on all platforms 10/10 you should write the new Batman comics bc you get Bruce and dick better than the current ones do

notes app dick and kory again

At first, Hua Cheng mostly gives off the impression of a normal over-protective broody love interest in a romance novel, overly paranoid over anything that might potentially hurt Xie Lian, but then you get to the White Clothed Calamity arc and realize, oh god, oh fuck, that’s actually a completely reasonable response to having to watch someone go through that, he’s actually showing remarkable restraint by allowing Xie Lian to go off and do his own thing as much as he does
