Me when some of yall post about Dick Grayson and Roy Harper angst unprompted on a regular Tuesday
Tumblr already has a personalization algorithm it's called my beloved mutuals who have great taste and only wish to psychologically damage me sometimes
the reason I hate the "Tim doesn't trust Dick after Damian/spyral/ric" is because they are besties your honour.
Like there's a post going around that I cannot for the life of me find that says Dick is Tims trusted adult and they are so right fr ong.
Because despite what Fanon believes Dick is a pretty chill guy and people take one look at him and go "let me unload my emotional baggage on you"
There's like a very famous panel (that im too lazy to find or remember the name of the run its in okay don't yell at me) where Tim basically goes "soooo my girlfriends pregnant" and Dick nearly falls off the roof.
Tim is calling Dick for the dumbest shit imaginable to the world ending and so are the rest of the batkids.
so I have taken the Canon that Dick knows if not all but most and generalised it to hell.
-------------------------
Jason has been on a team with like 80% of OG titan members
they're having gossip session
Jason in a war zone dodging bullets with his bat travel mug in his hand: And THEN! Kori and Roy shared this look and you know the look they give you when they're judging you for bat reasons and you're like tell me why you're mad I was raised by a crazy person my normal levels are skewed.
Dick in NYC with a blueberry bagel In one hand, his Turkish coffee in another, just finished meeting up with Donna who gave him THAT exact look: No REALLLLL why are they like that, just tell me which one of the creepy traits I internalised as a child is bothering you.
Jason: omg you get it anyway so I grab the bomb and start playing soccer with it because its round and im bored and starfire takes it away like idk what im doing? bro ive been bombed I know how to work with a bomb..
Dick: hmmm and then what happened
Jason: and then.....
--------------------------
Tim: Dickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Dick: yea Tim
Tim: Kon is being a dick
Dick: oh?
Tim: yeah and its really starting to bother me man
Dick who knows Kon is dead and Tim is either hallucinating or drugged to be more susceptible to manipulation and is already on his way: hmm tell me more babybird whys he upsetting my lil brother
Tim about to tell Dick what is a fever dream bc he contracted pneumonia and is loopy off his ass on painkillers:
---------------------------
steph does this more with babs in the hero scene but its just... so easy and totally gets into the habit of it after Dick is her Batman for a bit and now she uses him as her civilian life therapist
Steph on her way back from campus: and then this bitch looks me up and down and pours her coffee cup down my shirt!
Dick on his way back to blud after decking bruce in the face: hold on hold on hold on she did what??
Steph nodding vigorously even though he can't see her: pulls my whole ass sweater away from my body and pours her peats coffee down my goddamn shirt Dick.
Dick: omg she didnt
Steph still nodding: she DID and then I found out from Jonny who found out from Vivian that someone told her I made out with her boyfriend at Leos house party
Dick who has no idea who any of these people are: wait but you were at Leos for like an hour max last week. we has smoothies after.
StepH: exactly so I had proof that I wasn't there and confronted her and went like. I don't want your crusty ass alt white boy whose favourite 'indie' band is the neighbourhood. I dated Tim fucking Drake the OG crusty ass white boy and I don't do repeats
Dick choking on his coffee:
Steph: anyway we are besties now and planning on getting her boyfriend back because apparently he cheated on her with this drop dead gorgeous girl and im high key a lil complimented she thought we were the same person.
Dick who initially called for casework and is actually so happy one of the people he calls siblings is actually like living a life outside of vigilantism: tell me more
Steph: you sound a little teary
dick: don't worry about it
-------------------------
Damian: Richard
Dick: Damian
Damian: so I might be skipping patrol with father
Dick:? what you love patrol??
Damian: and school
Dick: Dames? what's going on:? is everything okay? you can talk to me
Damian: I am volunteering at a hospital
Dick: kid
Damian: Listen before you sAY anything I know what we do is important but I think I can help in another way and -
Dick had brown parents and was training for the olympics at 8, totally knows what its like to have insane expectations and rebel with a day job: kid kid calm down okay? you wanna be a doctor? is that it?
Damian: well? I dont really know but I just? there has to be another way to help people. besides what we do I mean-
Dick: Alfred left me Thomas waynes journals I initially thought they were to bash your fathers head in when he was being stupid but it seems the old man was looking out for us. Wanna take a stab at your other grandpas legacy when you come over next weekend. I'll tell Bruce we patrolled so you get a few more days off.
Damian: you're the best
Dickkory is genuinely my ride-or-die. I will start a goddamn riot just to have my parents back.
"as usual, nobody cares that dick threw jason in arkham right next to joker" ur right nobody cares‼️joker wasn't there + jason was a villain + arkham was the safest place to keep him. man got put in regular prison and killed nearly a hundred people. dick was right and he should do it again
Please Donna doesn’t even make the list she’s so far above literally everyone else in his life.
That’s his platonic soulmate
Bitches be like: Dick's favourite sibling is Damian, Dick's favourite sibling is Tim, Dick's favourite sibling is Cas. Meanwhile we all know that his favourite is Donna Troy
Fanon Tim Drake: everyone hates me, my entire family has abandoned me and they will all rue the day that they abandoned me. The only one who truly understands me is the red hood because he too was abandoned I haven’t slept in 3 months 2 weeks 11 days and 21 hours
Canon Tim Drake: wow this dude is hardcore goth
Also canon Tim: *fell asleep on a rollercoster*
Also canon Tim: *actually reaches out for help when he needs it*
Also canon Tim: *doesnt resent Dick Grayson for taking away Robin*
Also canon Tim:*mocks Jason Todd violently bc wtf was that Robin costume*
Listen any normal human should and would act like fanon Tim but I fear this is the bat family they try to murder each other and then go get burgers together.
It’s their deal
Canon Tim is a funny lil guy
I love canon Tim sm
Let him be happy
If yall RUIN CANON TIM FOR ME like Tom Taylor did canon Grayson I will never forgive you
Don't know if you know this but there was a tiktok about these two friends (one boy the other a girl) who went to a hotel in France and absolutely as soon as they came in was a couple pack, I mean like rose petals, towel shaped swans and like champagne bottle with ice romance shit 😭
And ofc the friends the moment saw that ended up laughing so much and honestly this just reminded me of Donna and dick so much for some reason
I have not seen it (please send it to me)
However I can see it
In my minds eye
Donna books the hotel except for once she’s the more sleep deprived one bc Dick fell asleep and is currently napping across her lap. And all the titans follow the cat rule for Nightwing AKA: IF THE BABY SLEEPS ON YOUR LAP IT IS NOW ILLEGAL TO MOVE.
So she’s tryna book a hotel trip on her shitty burner phone since her last real phone blew up (long story but just know it was Roy’s fault) very carefully bc bats will wake up if your heart rate accelerates by 1 beat per minute
And she accidentally books a honeymoon suite
And doesn’t think anymore of it bc she is now going to sleep for a month.
The they go on this slay lil trip to Paris bc Donna and him do a solo field trip once a year added on to the yearly titans field trip. Unlike the titans field trip this has no set it, it’s done when either Donna feels unstable in her identity or Bruce pushed Dick too hard for bludhaven to feel like a safe distance to recenter himself.
So they get there and no one bats (hehe) an eye, they’re both exhausted from the flight and everything end of the world-y that happened before but it’s a nice hotel near the center of Paris and they both wanna knock out
And they walk in and see
Rose petals
Swans kissing
Bottles of champagne with a “for the happy couple”
And they both fuckinf lose it on the floor laughing for a good 10 mins
And then they realize they 100% have to see it through bc not only is this a couples suite Nono this is couples resort.
And so they get into character and instead of goofing off in public and cuddling up to cancel touch starvation in their room. They simply pretend they’re 14 again and remain attached at the hip the whole time.
Cheek kisses, pet names the whole shebang
And they keep getting compliments like “oh my god you guys talk like you’ve know each other your whole lives”
“This is what marrying your best friend looks like”
And so on
They get so much positive reinforcement that Donna and Dick end up in an old argument
Donna: this was nice
Dick: yeah it was
Donna: we should do it again
Dick snorting: what like fake being a couple and stay and an outrageously expensive hotel and eat out weight in butter
Donna: yes except we can’t fake it again we have to do it for real next time or it would be boring
Dick: you’re asking me to marry you
Donna: I’m asking you to marry me
Dick sighing: I will not abandon Bruce and or Gotham if we get married
Donna: WHY NOT?
Dick: HES MY DAD
Donna: HES AN ASSHOLE
Dick: Donna-
oh look both of my writing styles in one post
On the one hand, I want to write complex, richly crafted characters and explore their psyches and what makes them tick.
On the other hand, I want giant set piece encounters where two people whack at each other with swords five hundred feet in the air, and just when it looks like one of them has won, the other guy pulls out an even bigger sword.
Dick and the bats most recent chats (it’s canon dc told me) (pt1)

Barbie girl: …
