#nonbinary nightwing

[dstractedstudios]

After Ricki left Bruce's side to follow THEIR own path as NIGHTWING, Bruce had quickly REPLACED Ricki with a new ROBIN, Jason Todd. Over the years, Jason became like a little brother to Ricki, THEY had to check in on him. Make sure that Jason is safe, not dead,.....well not dead AGAIN, anyways. Which Jason, OBVIOUSLY, was NOT. That was good, at least.

Ricki pushed THEMSELF off of the doorframe, still smirking. TRICK or TREATING. Been a minute since Ricki had done that. Thinking back on times past, trying to get Bruce, or Alfred or SOMEONE in the WAYNE manor, to take them out to go TRICK or TREATING. It didn't usually end in Ricki's favor. The last time Ricki remembered going TRICK or TREATING was with Jason when he was much younger. Ricki remembered not wanting Jason to experience what THEY had gone through as a kid around this time of year.

Although TRICK or TREATING seemed a bit odd for Jason now, at his current age & stage in his life. Ricki raised a single eyebrow INQUISITIVELY as they tried to look around their little BROTHER to see what he was working on to give them some indication as to what @d3adhood meant by TRICK or TREATING. Quickly looking back to Jason's face, smiling CHEERFULLY.

"Want 'ny company, Little Wing?" A hint of caution in their voice, Ricki asked genuinely wanting to spend time with their SIBLING.

*/ [  DECODING.  ]   NIGHTWING.      "I'd  say  run  like  Jason  was  chasing  you  but  ......"  Ricki  smirked  as  they  leaned  against  the  doorframe  of  Jason's  room. "Happy  Halloween,  Jason.  How  ya  been?"  It  had  been  a  minute  since  Ricki  had  stopped  in  to  check  in  on  Jason.  Month  maybe  more.  They  have  been  busy.  Criminals  never  rest  in  Gotham  and  so  neither  does  anyone  in  the  Bat  family. 

It  didn't  take  an  IDIOT  to  know  that  things  between  the  ones  that  called  themselves  The  Bat  Family  ,  were  never  quite  going  to  be  the  same.   That  much  was  unavoidable  ,  but  none  of  it  ever  stopped  the  two  from  being  close.   Even  when  Jason  didn't  feel  SAFE  to  come  back  into  the  fold  just  yet  ,  he  always  had  Ricki  checking  in  on  him.   He  could  count  on  that  at  least.

The  remark  earns  a  slight  CRINGE  motion  ,  all  in  good  fun  before  a  chuckle  sounds  from  him.   Turning  away  from  the  latest  project  he  was  working  on  to  face  @scores-of-antiheroes  more  fully.   ❝  Been  as  good  as  I  can  be.   Was  just  getting  ready  to  go  do  some  Trick  or  Treating  myself.   I'm  sure  I'll  find  a  bit  of  both  tonight.  ❞

Gender shenanigans ideas with the bat fam:

Tim and Cas are both enby in the sense that “yeah people put me in this box but I don’t really have another box to go to so might as well be this.”

Jason never felt comfortable in his skin, but it wasn’t until be got dunked in the magical green buff juice. After the rage has cleared up and he’s in an area where he could stop and think he realizes that he may not be a boy. But because of his physique and how necessary he is for crime ally he doesn’t think he can change it. He doesn’t even let himself try out other pronouns. *no he can’t be a girl what are you talking about? Girls can wear the pretty skirts and he can’t*

Dick is gender fluid though usually male or male adjacent. He feels comfortable in his own skin and wears what ever he wants whenever he wants.

Duke was very very young when he found out he was trans and his parents let him transition so you that he just kinda forgets that he’s not cis. No one knows he’s trans but he just genuinely forgets to tell people. He’s been doing his own testosterone for like two years before his parents got jokerized so it kinda just fell through the cracks. He doesn’t feel the need to tell people either he’s just kinda there.

Babs is mtf and confident with her self.

Steph thought she could be enby for a period of time but she’s a cis girly pop. She just doesn’t like being treated like she’s less than and has no interest in “traditional female value” (cough cough misogyny)

Damian is a guy, he has never thought to question his gender. He was told he was a guy since birth so clearly he must be a guy right? Right?? Well he’s obviously not a girl, not that he hates wearing skirts or makeup he’s just not a girl so that means he’s a guy.

You know what? Fuck you. *Ponifies Batman*

Guys I'm so excited to share my newest project of ponifying the Batfam, it started out small with the hypothetical "I wonder what Batman would be like in a mlp universe." And then the project kept getting bigger and bigger.

If anyones interested in my world building/ headcanons surrounding this project, you can see it under the cut. (I didn't want to make the post too long.)

Incase anybody couldn't read my bad handwriting, I gotchuuu.

-(First pic) Bruce Wayne: Bruce had got his cutiemark the night of his parents death, after the grief had broken his spirit and he realized that he never wanted anypony else to feel the same pain as he does. (He has a fake cutiemark to cover up his obvious destiny)

- The first pic is pretty self explanatory, but I want to make it clear that Bruce's destiny isn't "My parents are dead so now I dress up as a bat and beat up mentally ill folk". Because I've seen people on here give hot takes on cutiemarks that directly link them to a ponies destiny.

This goes for specifically in the mlp fandom but (for the sake of being on topic) I'll use the the example of that one post where someone gave the hot take that Jason would get his cutiemark in the warehouse right before he dies (or after he dies? smthing like that) because "It would be really fucked up to know that you were always destined to die." And listen, I can appreciate some good Jason Todd whump as the next guy but knowing that this would be based in a mlp universe . . . just doesn't sit right with me.

It sounds less magical that way. Its like saying that Rainbow Dash was always meant to be the fastest flyer, so theres no point in trying to compete with her. So uhm, trying to stay on topic here. My personal hot take is that a pony's cutiemark is symbol of something that they do/ a skill or talent that they have that makes them happy. And whats a more magical and fulfilling destiny than doing something that makes you happy for the rest of your life?

Looping back to Bruce, he didn't get his cutiemark the moment his parents died, but I like to think that he got it sometime later on in the night. After hours of being checked on by the police, getting looked at by the paramedics, and after Alfred took him home. Its 1:40ish in the morning and tiny foal-Bruce is just staring at his bedroom wall feeling numb and dissociated to hell. And sometime after processing everything that night- he just decides that this is the worst thing that has ever happened to him and that he will do anything to make sure that nopony will ever feel the same pain that he has felt. And then-- Ta da!! Cutiemark!! Too bad neither he or Alfred got to experience the excitement when they both saw it the next day :')

(Edit: I didn't know where to put this detail, but Bruce's fake cutiemark is based off of the "Make It Wayne" TV logo from this fanfic here )

-(Second pic) The Bat: This is heavily inspired by Flutterbat, I know theres canonically already a race of bat ponies made from Lunas stunt as Nightmare Moon. But I chose to go through with the Flutterbat route because batponies are a race, and have bat-like features 24/7. In comparison Fluttershy maintains her pegasus appearance by day and transforms into Flutterbat at night (ALSO with there being implications that there are "Triggers" for her transformations in the day too!!) Which adds the "Vampire." right in front of her batpony title.

I might do a lil comparison chart between vampire batponies and regular batponies in the future or something. But for now I'm focusing on my batpony Bruce Wayne headcanons so yea. My point is that I felt like making Bruce a "vampire" batpony would give him a more solid secret identity with also the bonus of a really metal origin story.

Now we all know that the canonical origin story of batman is that a few months after the tragedy of his parents death, Bruce had fallen into a cave? a well? a pit? of bats and triggered a fear of bats since then. Later on he decides to become Batman so he can invoke the fear of bats he once had into the criminals of Gotham. Yadda yadda yadda.

Now canonically, we don't know the exact science on how Fluttershy turned into Flutterbat. What we do know is that at the time, pony magic is not researched enough for Twilight to be aware that Fluttershys "Stare" is her own form of pony magic and that it would interfere with Twilights spell.

Do you see where I'm getting at here? Uhmm don't ask me what exactly happened in the cave, I'm doing this for fun and thinking about it too hard makes me spiral. But uhmm something something- Bruce looked at a bat in the eye and decided to embrace his biggest fear to fuel his cause, and his already traumatized and fucked up pony magic had transformed his body- something something. (Edit: I didn't think about this until now but maybe Fluttershys "Stare" and Bruces "Bat Glare" could be a usage of the same form of magic? Just a thought)

I'll probably come up with a more suitable explanation in the future, but like I said. All of this is just for fun.

Seer and Harbringer

Seer is not a god, but a powerful spirit that passes from body to body whenever the old one dies. Over the centuries, these dragonets were born with feathered head wings and arm wings to mark their divinity. In this lifetime, they have been born in the body of a dragonet named SunBeam, but has been renamed Seer after they were hatched.

Harbringer was born in the last dragon family that still worshipped the Moon spirits, and their whole life they cleaned temples, laid out offerings, and talked to the spirits. And they did it all while blind. Eventually, Seer met Harbringer, and Seer fell fast, and fell hard for the hardworking NightWing.

Seer, not knowing how to show their affections to Harbringer, gave them the gift of Foresight, just as strong as Clearsight’s was. The only time Harbringer is able to see, even if it’s in their mind only.

Oughhhh they love each otherrrrrr

Tim Drake Steps on a Butterfly - A DC Comics Time Travel Fanfiction

Pairings: Tim Drake/Jason Todd, Tim Drake/ Dick Grayson

Now complete! 53k words

Summary:

The person sighs softly. “It's a long story. You might want to sit back down,” they say.

Jason narrows his eyes suspiciously. “I'm fine, thanks.”

The stranger rolls their eyes. “Okay, yeah. That tracks. So, I'm from the future,” they explain like that's a completely normal thing to say. “I got sent into the past by an interdimensional being that feeds off of temporal energy, and no magic or technology can bring me back. They’re kind of like the weeping angels from Doctor Who, but they look completely different. They look sort of like hairless blue Klingons with four giant tentacles for legs.”

Jason barks out a laugh.

XXX

Twenty-one-year-old Tim gets stuck permanently five years in the past, right before Jason reveals himself to Bruce as alive, and decides that, since they can't return to their time anyway, they might as well make a couple of changes to their new timeline. But Jason is the only one who knows their identity, and it doesn't take long for them to realize that hiding their identity from their family comes with a few challenges.

LOVE CHILD SPOTTED!!💥💥🔥‼️

The demons posssed me at 10 am last night and I made a Maroon fanchild. This is Forestfire and they are nonbinary. I have no idea or explanation for how they spawned I to existence but they just did. Now they live with Carnelian and Moonwatcher at Sanctuary. Carnelian is 17 (28 in humans years) and Moon is 15 (26 in humans years.) In this time line. I will probably never expand on this idea unless the demons posses me again.

Dear people of Tumblr,

I don't think I've ever posted here before, but I would love your advice/expertise. I'm going to ComiCon for the first time ever this year and I have, like, a thousand questions.

Background on me: I am a disabled queer NB white person who uses a cane about 60% of the time. I have been into Star Wars and Batman (and more recently greater DCU) since I was a kid but am only recently really leaning into fandom. I am super excited about Comicon and dressing up but this sort of space (at least in person) is very new to me.

Does anyone have any tips for getting around such a crowded space using a cane?

How do you choose your costume?

Say a person is hyperfixated in multiple directions (like, i don’t know, star wars and DCU), do you combine elements to make something new(ish) or do you usually just choose a character and go for it?

Peeps with disabilities: do you integrate your mobility device(s) if you use them into your costume or ... some other thing?

Fellow NBs: how do you feel/show up/reflect on gender incongruity and dressing up (I hope that makes sense to literally anyone who doesn't live in my head)?
