One more about dick being a biter- do you think Bruce ALSO has a bite mark scar on his arm lol surely dick has bitten him once

And like the other kids are like woah B where’d you get that scar it looks pretty old but not super faded- did someone BITE you??? (Catwoman??) and Bruce sighs a big huge sigh and is like ……Robin. Dick.

While they’re all grilling Bruce on how he got the bite mark on his arm, Dick is sitting in the back, perched on Bruce’s chair at the Batcomputer, a pleased smirk on his face as he spins around in the chair. He looks like the cat who got the cream. When Bruce finally sighs and admits it’s from Dick when he was little and bit Bruce so hard it broke the skin, Dick is practically preening.

I love my Dick 😌 He's such a versatile boy. A barbie doll, truly. Hard to write a bad Dick. Unless you make him an absolute moron himbo dude. That's not my Dick.

My Dick is goofy and fun and caring and loving, but he's also a super cool, smart, detective spy vigilante crime fighter.

I seriously do actually get annoyed when writers forget that he's a smart guy. Like, he's no dumb dumb.

Sometimes, I stumble across a story that decides that he needs to be really stupid for no reason. Like, not even for an idiot plot where everyone is dumbed down. They just zap away his brain. Which is bad.

My Dick is such a smart boy. Very intelligent.

The only time he’s allowed to be a true himbo is if he’s using it as a mask of sorts to get something he wants, or if he’s undercover. The actual Dick is a genius athlete with a hot temper. He should hold a grudge for the rest of his life if someone pisses him off. He likes partying, but he’s not a party boy. He’s an asshole, but in the right context.

He loves his family dearly but makes fun of them relentlessly because that’s his right. Bruce is his dad he’s his brother he’s his emo roommate he’s his arch nemesis he’s his biggest fan. Damian is his sweet baby boy and his partner in crime.

He drinks he smokes he passes out on his couch after a long night with the fab five. He meal preps and has a very specific workout regimen. He orders takeout and eats it at the kitchen counter then goes on patrol and splits a pint of ice cream with Damian on a rooftop.

He’s a genius he’s an idiot he’s so smart he’s silly he’s serious he’s a goofball.

And I love him dearly.

Scarecrow needed a distraction, so he used an old variation of fear gas while he escaped. One of the batboys gas masks got cracked during the struggle, when suddenly, Dick takes off his mask and says "Take this! Let's go, we need to catch him!". The other Batboys are about to yell at him, because now TWO of them might be affected, but the fear gas doesn't seem to be bothering Dick..?

Psychotic. I love it. Dick should have immunity to several Gotham toxins based on how often he was exposed to them alone.

[existing-humanoid]

Headcanon that Dick, who consistently forgets he skipped a grade and was a mathlete all through high school and graduated early, makes fun of his siblings for being nerds.

He’ll see Jason reading a book and walk by and close it or slap it out of hands while saying, “Haha! Nerd.”

Tim is working on science homework at the dining table? “You’re actually doing homework? What a nerd.”

Damian is the only one he doesn’t call a nerd because Bruce told him he’s not allowed to otherwise Damian will take it as a reason to not go to school. Jokes on Bruce, because Dick picks up Damian early all the time or calls him out and they play hooky together. They have matching sunglasses they wear whenever Dick picks him up early. Sometimes he picks him up on a motorcycle because he’s the certified Cool Dad-Brother. (Bruce always forgets that Dick raised Damian the first year or so he was with the family while Bruce was thought dead. Damian has picked up many of Dick’s habits, both good and bad. Dick claims he has no bad habits.)

Then one day Tim and Jason get so fed up that he called them both nerd within ten seconds of each other and they start digging for anything to prove that Dick was also a nerd. It’s not hard, his time as a mathlete and general prodigy is well documented. They try to present this information at dinner, to which Dick laughs in their faces.

“You’re forgetting, I was also: a jock,” he tells them, a cocky grin in his face. “So it doesn’t count.”

And dammit, he’s right. He was on the gymnastics team AND the baseball team while at Gotham Academy. He won several awards for both sports. He was a state and national champ in gymnastics. He was on the winning all-star team his junior year, and only didn’t go his senior year because he had senioritis and didn’t feel like it. He’s been to the Olympics and won gold medals.

Damian, who also plays baseball for Gotham Academy, is equally as smug. Dick has been coaching him for years. And while Dick had hoped Damian would follow in his footsteps and be a short stop, he’s an excellent second baseman.

I love that it's Hal of all people

Oh my god. So similar to my other post where all the Wayne kids find out that Dick was never actually adopted by Bruce.

So imagine they’re all back at the manor, they’re interrogating Bruce on why he never adopted Dick, and Bruce insists he can still adopt Dick now even though he’s an adult, but Dick is getting nervous the more insistent he gets.

And it turns out it’s because he was already adopted by someone else. But it’s another Justice League member.

“What?”

Bruce is speechless. He’s bamboozled. He’s livid.

“HAL, I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!” he shouts as he zetas into the watchtower.

“Hal! Abort, abort! Code: Daddy Warbucks!” Dick screeches as he runs in behind Bruce.

Hal is scrambling to leave before Batman can actually beat him to a pulp.

“Dammit, kid, you were supposed to give me way more notice than this!” Hal screeches right back, and he’s already being chased by Bruce. He isn’t even in his Batman get-up, he’s still in his clothes from dinner. He has slippers on.

“You adopted my kid?? When did you adopt my kid?” Bruce is shouting at him.

“You’re the one who kicked him out!” Hal shouts back. “He wasn’t even 16 yet! He needed someone to sign the release forms for the Olympics!”

“HE WAS IN THE OLYMPICS?”

“HAL! THAT WASA SECRET!”

“YOU BATS HAVE TOO MANY SECRETS!”

Idk I just want chaos with Bruce finding out another league member adopted Dick. Hal is an easy target.

"I love all Dick Graysons and non Dick Graysons equally" is wiiiildddd. Like, Bruce, dude, do you just put people into the category of Dick Grayson and Not Dick Grayson? Because that is wild. Are you face blind to anyone who isn't Dick Grayson? Is he joking? Is he serious? The world may never know.

That line actually killed me I thought it was hilarious.

Bruce’s mind has three tiers for his children.

At the very tippy top is of course Dick Grayson, his pride and joy, his emotional support kid, his baby boy.

The next tier is whoever Dick’s favorite sibling of the week is. It’s usually a toss up between Damian and Steph. Sometimes they’re tied.

The third tier is Everyone Else.

[existing-humanoid]

do you think everytime someone called dick Robin whether it be Gordon, villains, or the Bat himself he thought of his mother? and worse, he thinks of her everytime someone uses that name on someone who is not him and he loses a little bit of her all over again?

I think at first, he was constantly reminded of his mother. And that it wasn’t her calling out to him.

After a while, I think he’d learn to separate his time as Robin, The Boy Wonder from his mother’s little Robin. He has to do it, otherwise he’d go a little mad.

[existing-humanoid]

ok but for the whole “dick grayson(!!!) box” au thing i feel like everyone is super careful whenever they’re in someone else’s mind, but then when it comes to slade’s mind, dick is just kicking shit over, riffling through everything, tossing things around, like man truly doesn’t give a shit, he’s just trying to figure out where tf slade is hiding his box.

“Everyone has a Dick Grayson(!!!) Box!” Nightwing shouts as he stomps through Deathstroke’s mind. “Where’s yours, Slade? Let me see it!”

He finds another Hal Jordan box and kicks it across Slade’s mind. It leaves a dent.

He finds a bookshelf and pulls them out one by one, finding other shit that has nothing to do with himself and then tossing them over his shoulder. They’re sprawled around by the time Dick moves on.

The whole place is a mess. Dick is like a bull in a china shop until he finally spots his box, and then he’s skipping over, giggling with glee. He wiggles his fingers once he’s next to it, then dives right in to see what Slade cherishes the most about him.

[existing-humanoid]

i feel like Slade’s mind would be kinda dark, blank, and silent and then when you get to the dick grayson (!!!) box in his mind it’s disturbingly colorful, there’s fucked up music, and its super overstimulating but in a creepy and organized way??? idk i feel like his dick box would be more of like one of those police boards with the red string and stuff, or it’d be like a creepy fucked up stalker scrapbook. it’s a mix of all the times they’ve fought, all the fucked shit slade has done to him, maybe times when slade was watching him from the shadows and dick never noticed him, and then like the maybe 12 good interactions they’ve had together.

(“His dick box” made me giggle thank u for that)

I like it being a creeper stalker board with red string and pins connecting everything, excellent addition

[existing-humanoid]

wait ok but actually it would be kinda funny if everyone EXCEPT slade had a “dick grayson (!!!)” box and slade just has a box for a random ass person. like it’s not dick, his kids, addie, or wintergreen, it’s just some random fucking hero? oooh maybe it’s hal jordan. i feel like it would be fucking hilarious if it was hal jordan. like canonically slade is obviously obsessed with dick, but i feel like within his own mind he would pick someone to randomly hyper fixate on in case a telepath or somebody entered his mind. he’s so possessive over dick that he won’t even let people see dick within his own mind.

Oh this is genius. He keeps his Dick Grayson(!!!) box right under lock and key in his mind, and he has a decoy box for intruders

[existing-humanoid]

I can't believe that a real Nightwing fan, who reads his comics, has followed him since he was Robin, can say and BELIEVE that this man has angry issues, or say that he was the feral and angry Robin... Like??? My man, what comics did you read????

If you're just a fan of Dick fanon, that's fine and I understand... But about COMICS, AND YOU SAY THAT? MY KING, QUEEN, MONARCH, WHATEVER YOU ARE... I'M SORRY BUT, WHAT???

[existing-humanoid]

imagining a scenario where dick grayson gets hit by fear gas (civilian or vigilante), one of the titans or bruce tell the other hero’s/people “let me handle this.” The walk up to him slowly, shoulders hunched and knees bent. The same way you might walk up to wild animal. Dick is hunched over on himself, his knees in his face. He barley seems to be breathing, wouldn’t even seem alive if it weren’t for the tremor in his shoulders.

They walk up to him and right before they touch him everything changes, suddenly they’re found pinned up on the wall held up by a hand around their neck. Dick’s face is shrouded in a darkness that blends with his hair. For a moment the only thing heard is his heavy breathing, the tension skyrockets. For that one moment he looks more like a demon than man. Our sacrificial lamb starts to struggle, maybe saying some kind of “I kinda need to breathe here rob”, drawing Dick’s attention to them. He startles and his eyes widen, he steps back looking horrified. He is still save for his shaking hands, after Dick drops them on the floor maybe they rub their neck and stretch a bit, offering him the second to collect himself. Dick is over himself with apologies, the titan/bruce merely offers a calming smile or another light joke. The moment seems to have passed as said member takes him to go watch their favorite movie. Dick eyes still seem to flicker around the room and his nails are digging into his palm. The other members seem surprised to remember that nightwing is the god of rebirth, and that you must first die to be reborn. (This idea has been specially microwaving in my head as a Neal caffery as dick grayson AU with a crossover into criminal minds where Roy is on the CM team)

Okay but someone needs to write this as a full fic NOW I need it. I love Dick as Neal Caffrey fics they’re so fun god pls someone write this!!

[existing-humanoid]

When Dick gets nervous or feels overly tired he starts to hallucinate.

Sometimes it's Jason sitting on his windowsill. He asks him every now and then why he didn't save him. Dick can't be mad at this hallucination because it's true, it's his fault.

Sometimes he sees Slade standing in the doorway. Usually he casually reminds him that it's because of him that his friends are dying. He doesn't argue with Slade either. Because he's the one who failed.

But most often he sees Bruce. He always appears when he chooses himself. Batman stands in the shadows and doesn't look at him. Because he's so disappointed. Dick is sad that even a hallucination of his father won't give him recognition. Maybe he needs to try harder.

The least likely person he sees out of the corner of his eye is Tarantula. She doesn't speak for more than a simple reminder of herself. It's enough for her to just be on the periphery of his consciousness. He ignores it. She doesn't need to try, she's already there.

Luckily, he always understands where the real person is and where he is not. He manages to hide another weakness, until finally he can't.

He cries. His family and friends cry with him.

(It'll take years of therapy for Dick to accept it's not his fault.)

PLEASE, WE NEED A RICHARD GRAYSON MOVIE

Sort of potential spoiler for the new Superman movie so I’m gonna put it below the cut but it has literally nothing to do with the storyline or plot okay and everything to do with what I think could lead into a movie centering around Dick Grayson so anyway

They briefly mention Hypnos technology and the whole time I was like “GRAYSON!! GIVE ME A GRAYSON SPYRAL MOVIE!!!” It could be the perfect lead in to a Spyral movie 😭

James Gunn give me a Dick Grayson super spy movie pls im BEGGING

Also u have Mr Terrific in this movie doesn’t he make Nightwing’s suit?? And Dick literally gets the name Nightwing from Clark COME ON it’s right there it’s right there give me a live action Dick Grayson PLEASE

[existing-humanoid]

(4+1) 4 times Grayson has almost died and one time he actually did🗣️

This looked cooler in my head ngl, and you can tell I lost motivation time to time.

All of these moments are canon but slightly made more dramatic:

Forever evil #1

Nightwing (2016) #40

Grayson #5

Nightwing (2016) #25

Forever evil #6

Actually I want professional athlete Dick Grayson. I want Bruce to encourage him to take gymnastics lessons when he’s still young because Bruce thinks that will help him keep up with his acrobatics and feel like he still has a connection to his parents.

Dick gets private lessons, goes to competitions, and then joins the Gotham Academy gymnastics team once he’s in high school. He’s a state champ. Wins national competitions. A prodigy.

He plays baseball in the spring for Gotham Academy too, but that’s only because it’s something he and Bruce sort of bond over. Bruce started taking him Gotham Knights games when he was little and it’s something they’ve always done. And Dick enjoyed playing, so he joined the team for something to do outside of competition season for gymnastics. I think he’d probably play short stop and be a switch hitter.

And Bruce is a total stage mom with gymnastics, then a coach dad with baseball. He frets over Dick during gymnastics competitions and makes sure he has everything he needs, then yells at umpires during baseball season.

Once Dick graduates, he becomes a professional athlete. Does competitions, wins titles. He was still a teenager when he won his first Olympic medal (and it was the first Olympics he went to).

He’d also be a total heart throb. Everyone loves him. During his first Olympics, his face is in so many teeny bopper magazines it’s insane. Even some girls in his class at Gotham Academy had a poster they got out of a Seventeen or Teen Vogue magazine taped on a wall of their bedroom or in the locker.

He’d probably already have transitioned to Nightwing at this point, I like him being around 16 when he becomes Nightwing. But it wasn’t because of a fight or anything he had with Bruce, it was a natural progression, and he’d also been spending a lot of time with the Titans and so he wanted his own identity separate from Batman.

I want him to be in his Discowing era during his last year or so of high school. He’d been in the Olympics the summer before his senior year, won a gold medal or two, and he’s just riding such a high from it the whole year.

Idk I just like the idea of him being a prodigy athlete.
