I'm fine, yeah, sure, a cute Batman & Scooby Doo comic made me cry, because John and Mary Grayson are still watching over their son even when he can't hear or see them and are incredibly proud of him, but I'm totally fine, I'm not crying about Batman comics or anything.

thinking about dick grayson who used to braid his mom’s hair before their shows
thinking about him growing his hair out, and doing those same braids before going out as nightwing
thinking about him asking anyone with long enough hair if he can braid it, about him doing the same braids his father used to do for his mother on kori and babs
one day he finds steph crying in the batcave and takes her into the manor. he sits her down in front of the couch and sits behind her and tells her to put on a movie. then he starts to brush her hair and braid it
it’s his love language, it’s just unfortunate the rest of his siblings have short hair.
when tim grows his hair out (which definitely didn’t have anything to do with this haha…) dick is so happy and braids his hair any time he sees him
when he was younger and bruce sometimes took him to JL meetings, he’d ask diana if he could braid it (she always said yes ofc) and sometimes he’d ask arthur who was so honored every time
bruce, glaring at arthur as 11 y/o dick braids his hair because he is Jealous and now seriously considering growing his hair out: Hn

Robin & Signal Parallel
Dick naming himself Robin because that's what his mom called him.
Duke naming himself Signal because as a social worker his mom considered herself the first knight on the battlefield, which is called a signal.

the bats being asked how they would feel if they became their moms:
Bruce: sobbing
Dick: I'd be okay with that, she was truly a great mom... before she and my father were tragically murdered....
Tim: yea, I think I'm good. I loved her and all but I'd prefer not
Duke: maybe, you know, before she was jokerized and trying to kill me
Steph: fuck no
Damian: ....
Cass, after being reminded that her mother exists, silently stands and leaves to go and fight Lady Shiva again
Jason: look me in the eyes and ask that question again

Do you ever think that Bruce might have complicated feelings about the Graysons?
Of course he respects them for raising Dick and being kind and loving parents who Dick thinks highly of even almost 15- 20 years after their deaths.
But does he ever feel jealous of them, in particular of John Grayson? Because while Dick is Bruce's son he still not really "Dad" to Dick. To Dick that'll always be John Grayson and he'll always be Bruce.
Does he ever have fears or nightmares of the Graysons berating him for not raising their son right? Or worse nightmares where they come back to life somehow and Dick leaves with them forever and he never loses Dick forever?

In his first appearance, it genuinely looks like Jack Drake has blue hair. Not that he has black hair and blue highlights, as comics used to do. He has more blue than black on his head.
look at Jack's hair compared to the other people with black hair in this picture (Tim, Dick, and Mary)
THAT MAN IS BLUE

Two Graysons for one:
So we all know that Dick Grayson is supposed to become the greatest Talon of the Court of Owls: The Gray Son, Dick wasn't Mary and John's first child.
Enter Daphne Mary Grayson (Danny Fenton) the firstborn Grayson who dissapeared during Haley's tour in Europe.
The European Court of owls (Ecoo) were impatient for their Gray son and couldn't wait until Haley's arrived in Gotham. So they end up kidnapping Daphne, taken to become the possible Gray son, unaware Mary Grayson was pregnant with Dick at the time. Daphne does get small doses of electrum, but the Ecoo are waiting until she is older to fully convert her in a Talon for the court. During one of the plots to assainate an wealthy business person, an earthquake occurs and Daphne, injured ends up falling through a crevasse that connect to a cave system that directly leads to an ectoplasm pool that she accidently falls in.
Now this where things get tricky. Dick life still plays out the same way (Bruce bait, Robin, Nightwing,etc...) As Nightwing, Dick gets into contact with a magical-infused virus that could very well kill him unless he gets the blood of biological family member (John and Mary are dead, William Cobb has more electrum than blood in him and they cannot synthetisize the virus out of his blood to try put his blood back in him) this looks like it could be the very end of Dick Grayson. Everyone in the Family decides to air out their grievances to their big brother, the bird who brought all of them together. It's also worth mentioning that someone has been murdering influential people that are part of the Court around the world but has started to make their way towards Gotham warning them that their time is up.
Now, last time with Daphne, she fallen in an ectoplasm pool. What we find out is that after that fall, she appears in the states (Meddling Clockwork) unaware how they got there. Daphne gets spotted by Jazz Fenton and decides to be her big sister unaware that Daphne is somewhat disoriented from the ectoplasm and electrum sort of melding together giving Daphne some enhanced abilities like, slight healing, speed and able to go longer without proper sustenance. Daphne's electrum is barely visible around her heart and her eyes are blue with a ring of amber or gold with flecks of green ectoplasm.
The Drs. Fenton decide to "adopt" Daphne to please their daughter, and Daphne becomes Danny Janus Fenton. Canon episodes happen, except I want to say that Phantom Planet may have caused the Metahuman appearance. Danny's parents, while not to hate him anymore , can not get over their guilt that their passion killed their child. Danny is still close to Jazz, Tucker, Dani (Ellie and the clones), Valerie and Wes, surprisingly. Danny and Sam sort of split because Sam could understand that Danny was a murderer and Danny thought that Sam reminded them too much of their court days.
Danny would be genderfluid ( somedays it's Danny, others it's Daphne) since Danny always felt she lacked some control over her life.
Now, how do the Graysons meet? Two days before Dick possibly dies, someone is at the door. Alfred or possibly Tim opens it to inform them that they werent taking visitors before being shocked as the person at the door looks almost exactly like Dick (Tim would know as he has seen John and Mary Grayson before their demise) Danny goes to say that they are here to help their Baby brother as it was announced publicly that Dick Grayson has caught something terrible and was possibly on their last legs. Tim and the rest of the family want to get the validity that this is an actual relative of Dick and not some fake. Danny's D.N.A is uncorrupted enough that they can 100% tell that Danny is actually related to Dick on a much closer scale than they realize like an uncle or second-cousin, and they don't want to risk it. And if it didn't work, Danny wanted to see her baby brother alive before he died.

Dick and Booster Gold's relationship is so underrated.
After Booster's time adventure, he asks Dick for his trust and Dick gives it to him but after that Dick asks for one favor
Booster Gold (2007) Issue #25
And out of the respect and admiration and friendship, he grants it to him.

Okay, I said previously I’d make a post about Mary and John in the Lost Carnival book.
Well, here’s some key moments I found the most interesting and memorable from that book, a further showcasing how close knit of a family the Flying Graysons 1.0 are, no matter which DCU they inhabit
Amazing Acrobats As Per Usual, to the point even Dick (in fairness in this elseworld he’s a teen that’s been performing for a long time with his family) can say it’s boring lol
John catching up with his son after a small incident, part of the larger story of course, making sure he’s alright
This scene ……Oh Me Oh My…Dear God, X’hal and Rao gosh I love this scene so freaking much. Mary being there to comfort her boy and giving life advice (Granted sure it’s an elseworld so meaning it’s not Kory being involved sadly though I state had it been Kory, this advice would still be there. Mary seems like that kind of Mom ya know?)
And finally, these respecting their son’s choices with his life at this story, sure maybe entering college is drastically different from say being a colorful costume clad crime fighter he is canonically but I’m sure Mary and John will be able to respect that one way or another had they been present.
Gosh, I swear these two were such a highlight in this book, it even makes me pardon the fact that romance here isn’t with Kory. Oh well though, I take what I can get lol
Tagging: @celaenaeiln @spider-jaysart @camo-wolf @gffa @sbd-laytall
If you wish to Reblog or not, it’s up to you ;-)

During episode 2 of season 5, we get a moment when Robin (aka Dick Greyson) saves Batman from falling to his death.
Because he couldn't save them from falling...

There is a canon universe where Bruce died and his parents became Batman and the Joker.
Why isn’t there one where Dick Grayson falls instead of his parents and they are so heartbroken that they swear to get revenge on the crime lord that decided to sabotage their little boys trapeze.
Then they become Nightwing and Flamebird, and they team up with Batman to hunt down Zucco.
