Tim Drake fans who shit on Dick Grayson are just as baffling like that’s his emotional support hyperfixation turned sibling excuse me
dick grayson fans who shit on tim drake are so baffling 2 me like that's his little guy excuse me
Sometimes you find a piece of tumblr history and you have no choice but to preserve it
Slutshaming women is not ok Slutshaming Alexander Hamilton is totally ok Tumblr logic
Dick Grayson clutching Robin!Tim Drake to his chest: this one is my baby I love him, I will do anything for him.
Tim: cool anyway can you help Bruce with-
Dick now 700 km away, moved, left, skeddadled out of town, call him a road runner, no actually he was never there, if he’s not there he can’t hear you, actually he’s in an underground bunker made of lead so you can’t call him unless you’re Donna Troy (long story): sorry can’t hear you
Tim about do so something reckless with YJ: works everytime
Headcanon that when extremely sleep deprived Dick tells Jason wayyy too much traumatizing lore about his life.
Bc he kinda forgets that Jay wasn’t there for it
Since he was hallucinating the bastard (yeah I know in canon it was obviously a hallucination idk)
So Dick will accidentally just lore dump about the most insane shit bc well Jason was there (no he wasn’t)
And when he’s offensively sleep deprived it goes the other direction and he forgets that Jason ever came back.
So he’s just in the corner watching what he believes to be a hallucination of his baby brother except for some reason his mind decided he needed to see what Jay would look like grown up.
Dick on day 7 without sleep watching Jason beat up a gang member: maybe my therapist was right
Jason: the fuck are you-?
Dick: Maybe I DO need to go back on anti-psychotics
————————————————————
Dick alone in his apartment with a bag of shredded cheese and a plain cereal box in one hand ready to have what is probably the Most depressing depression meal: hmmm hmmmm hmmm
Jason who climbed through a window while dick was distracted: Sup
Dick: ah look a wild hallucinajason appears
Jason: what the fuck did you the call me
Dick patting Jason’s cheek: oh they’re somatosensory now too! That’s new! Anyway bye bye baby bird
Jason watching his brother leave the kitchen: ….okay what the fuck?
——————————————
Dick only on 3 days without sleep: this reminds of the time I was about the sign my marriage license!
Jason: two things 1) why does a shootout remind you of being at the courthouse 2) WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU GET MARRIED
Dick: I didn’t get married?
Jason: then what the hell are you talking about
Dick: idk the last time I tried too get married way more guns than necessary were involved and you know when I tired to get married Jay you were there!
Jason “was dead at the time” Todd: what the fuck are you talking about?
Dick: yeah! I mean you really hated her so you told me I’d be a disappointment if I married her and then disappeared. Which like granted I also didn’t wanna marry her but that was harsh
Jason: ….. I? I don’t even know what the appropriate response is? Here
Dick: an apology would be nice?
Jason who is now 50% sure his ghost haunted his brother 25% sure his brother was hallucinating and like 25% sure Bruce used his image as a tool to get dick to do what he wanted: ……. You know what… nah she was a bitch and I’m glad you didn’t marry her
Dick: I mean.. same
—————————————
Dick has a caffeine IV Grayson : this brings me back to the good old days
Jason dodging an alien: ??? When you were Robin ? How?
Dick: no! When Donna died and I didn’t have to worry about saying alive so I could do insane shit like infiltrating an alien spaceship with no protective gear
Jason:??????????????? Dick what the fuck
Dick: OH come on??? You were there! Very quippy 10/10 would be haunted by again
Jason:…. I- yeah you know what I’m not touching this one

Alfred ‘let me train an 8 yr old in combat instead of therapy’ pennyworth: ….
Bruce ‘never stopped being the child in the alleyway’ Wayne: hnnn
8yro Dick Grayson who despite trauma and anger issues, Has very good emotional intelligence: … so is the next 10 years of my life gonna be a one way conversation
Alfred: ….
Bruce: hnnn
DG: god I’m gonna have to give you peopling lessons aren’t I?
Plz my friends actually stopped finding me annoying since I can talk about something other than Dick Grayson
Let me get it out
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
tomorrow i will get my life together. if i’m not sleepy
I’m fighting off Demons (an unknown virus) so here are the Bats various home remedies/ how they behave when ill
Bruce: can’t stop won’t stop moving if I die I die ig? Illness is a mindset for himself. For his kids? Give him 3 hours he’s synthesizing a cure his babies will never be sick in his presence how dare you.
Dick: makes the most bomb lentil soup and also has about 90 million metric tons of ginger tea with lemon and honey. He saved a beekeeper early on as nightwing so he gets really high quality very nice ethically sourced honey that all the Batkids keep trying to steal. He does the R&R except he’s an acrobat so R&R is doing paperwork while on coms
Jason: Lazarus pit + a childhood running around in very unsanitary environments means he’s never sick. But when he is he always just assumes this is the end for him and he won’t wake up the next day bc he everything hurts. (He has literally been ill like 4 times in his life he doesn’t know what to do here) so he just kinda finds a corner to die in like your elderly pet and he wakes up fine after a few hours and he’s always surprised.
Cass: has never been sick will never be sick
Steph: Steph is on top of her shit, she has a whole ass gallon of soup delivered, pre portioned and frozen in microwave safe containers. She also has a drawer of various vitamins, cough drops and syrups. She doesn’t have time to lay around so she tries everything to get up and at em as quick as possible. Sadly due to this she ends up with like a really weak residual cough for a few weeks even if she got 99% better after 5 days
Tim: L+ ratio + no spleen + has to be put in a sterilized room for observation if he so much as coughs
Damian: steals Dicks lentil soup, Steph’s vitamin gummies and cuddles with his pets if he knows illness wont transmit to pets. Or if he’s feeling really bad he gets very cuddly with his brothers but only Dick and Jason because they both run very warm and he must steal the warm. But also he rlly only goes to Jason when he’s delirious and in pain because he just doesn’t want the teasing. Bruce he’s a sick Damian wrapped up in a bunch of blankets with his arms around dicks neck sleeping peacefully and gets violently Jealous.
Duke: goes to doctor, takes his meds, it’s the only thing he’s normal about. His parents taught him well he’s not gonna ignore that.
Who let me reread outsiders (2003) instead of studying for my finals. I’m crying all over my laptop
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: 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
