#stan nightwing

[luvd4mi]

i made dick grayson aka nightwing from dc comics in the sims and i think he might be the prettiest sim i've ever made........... love him sm <3

inspired by the comic book art in "batman: prelude to the wedding: nightwing vs hush" made by travis moore

When you read a really good fic but then after ur done reading it, realising that it was a part of a series so now your dying because now you’ve ruined it.

[mysterycitrus]

my other thought for today is that i know there's this predisposed fixation on all the bats being Freaks™ but in my mind there are only three that are certifiably freaky on the inhuman scale

cass is the obvious, borderline inhuman combatant freak. the body is a language that she and only one other person truly speaks. she can win against any human on earth, and sees herself in every killer. she makes me crazy. imagine being the world's greatest killing machine and literally taking a life for the first time and reading that pain in the body. that's crazy. 10/10

babs is the actual mega-genius freak in gotham. there's no competition. she's out-hacked brainiac. her online persona has an almost physical presence. she got a law degree in her spare time. her ability to process information is almost unparralled, even among superhumans, and her vast swath of allies just makes her more dangerous. toxic girlboss freak behaviours

dick grayson is a trigonometry and spacial awareness freak. this is probably the more controversial take but i do think that based on his feats and abilities his ability to calculate how to land and where to fall isn't comparable to anyone else. he was an acrobatic prodigy by the time he was four. he jumps off buildings and out of planes with no gear for a good time. he can fold himself up like a pretzel and crawl into the batcave through a hole in the ground. freak!

bruce is an honorary fourth freak but just because he's Like That

Jason: Dick isn’t really Daddy material when it comes to the bedroom but holy Lazarus he’s a really fucking good mommy. Mommy kinks with him are a one way trip to a blackout orgasm.

Tim, forever scarred and knowing he’ll never look at Dick the same way again: I never wanted to know.

I know the fandom trope of "Tim hates Dick for what he said in Red Robin" but like

He probably felt hurt for a minute but the second he saw Dick again it was instant forgiveness. He is in awe of his big brother, he thinks he has it all together (even though he very much doesn't), he thinks the world of Dick. in the alt universe vampire comic Tim probably forgave Dick for crushing his scull in. Tim at his core is a Dick Grayson Stan first, human second.

making Dick's character be all about hooking up, cheating, being aggressive (angry Robin), using drugs and sexualizing him, while using the excuse that you're trying to escape the "eldest daughter" and "therapist" tropes, is not only disgusting, but racist too

y'all love to claim Dick's rroma heritage, but refuse to research about it and fail to recognize the racism and stereotyping you commit

[robinhuntr]

Trying to explain to BatFam fans that hope and joy are good things and not every character needs to be tortured in order to be interesting:

[allthegothihopgirls]

all of the robins bear the same burdens etc etc, except tim will never understand the constricting feeling of not being able to escape the mantle of the bat.

sure, he felt within himself that he had to step up as robin after jason's death, but past that? he could probably leave the business and live a normal life almost completely guilt-free. by any logic he's still the one who chooses to tie himself in with batman, not the other way around.

dick? he's the eldest, as long as he lives he'll feel a weight of responsibility for his siblings. if there was no flying grayson, there would be no robin, in his head that makes him fully accountable for anything that happens to them. he needs to stick around to glue together broken pieces, and make sure every cog rotates in sync. also.. after you've undertaken the cowl once, that's when you're stuck for life.

jason? he's the one who sees the faults in batman's system. he knows that if he steps down, or distances himself from gotham, no one will ever get the things done that no one wants to do. even when he's trying to move away from under batman's wing, he still finds himself in close proximity, as long as he's in gotham the bat will seep through his veins. no matter how many times he screws up, he's still family, it grows painful.

and damian? he's bound by blood, and the rightful + (theoretically) only real successor to the cowl. he feels responsibility over gotham, knowing that it needs a batman, and that if he doesn't step up, the system they've built will all come crashing down on itself. unlike the other kids, he has a legacy to live up to, expectations. the other kids got freedom over who they were, choosing their own vigilante identities after robin, damian has shoes to fill. the only future he can see is batman, there's no other realistic path for him.

Why are Dick stans so reluctant to admit that he can be a shitty person sometimes?

He was a shitty brother to Jason

He fucked Tim over

He was just as responsible for the fallout with Bruce as Bruce was

He treated both Babs and Kory like shit at times

It doesn't make him a bad person. Everyone acts shittily at times.

Acting like Dick is a perfect angel golden boy is just plain stupid.

[hood-ex]

What do you think of Tim taking up the Nightwing mantle after Tom Taylor’s run? 👀 Tom King said he wanted to make Tim Nightwing while Dick was Ric, and Tom Taylor’s favorite Robin is Tim so maybe they’re finally doing that!

I can already imagine how annoying Tim stans would be about it, so I don't personally wish to see Nightwing Tim.

[writeyourdarlings]

why does “robin” remind me of dick grayson so much i’m sobbing😭

Batfam Monster AU

Used a reference I found on Pinterest.

I'm gonna make a full post detailing who's what and all that jazz, not in this post, though, because I forgot to draw Tim and Damian

[outoftimewriting]

based on the vegas suit and on their shared braincell, tim drake is a discowing apologist

[punkeropercyjackson]

I don't even like Marvel Batfam aus but it's taking every ounce of strength in me to not change my url to 'Redhoodmiles' or 'Nightwinghobie'.And i have Dipper Pines level noodle arms so,

[theofficialdailyplanet]

this is very important to me, do yall think the batfam are sesame street or muppet enjoyers (my life depends on this)
