screenshotting this one bc I can acknowledge that I’ve got shipper goggles on and op isn’t about that life which is fair but

I feel like batfam fans misunderstand the term parentification a lot and conflate it with Dick filling a parental role for his siblings, which might be part of the “oldest daughter syndrome” that’s so often pinned on him but that isn’t what parentification actually means

If I say that Dick Grayson was parentified, then that isn’t referring to him taking care of his siblings, it refers to the way Bruce treated him. As someone capable of taking care of his emotional needs and not as the child in need of care in the relationship

Parentification is a term that’s been around for decades, and while having to care for younger siblings might be a part of the definition, it focuses mostly on the role reversal of the parent-child dynamic. I’m not going to get into the psychology of it but being parentified has very little to do with if he actually acted as a parent for his siblings and everything to do with if he acted as a parent for Bruce

This is honestly why I prefer the term spouseification, which is less ambiguous than the term parentification and I feel accurately describes their “equal” relationship and the type of emotional abuse that Dick went through

Also from what I’ve read, Dick doesn’t act as a parental figure for any of his siblings except for Damian. While he might have given extra emotional support to Tim due to Bruce being Bruce, Dick still fits solidly into an older brother role. I’m not even going to touch on Dick’s relationship with Jason which is too weak to even be considered fraternal never mind parental

#cw abuse #cw emotional abuse #dick grayson analysis #dickie bird #idk why I went off like this but parentification really has nothing to do with the siblings #like that’s not the psychological term #eldest daughter syndrome is mostly a pop psychology thing #it might be a real phenomenon that is heavily influenced by parentification but they aren’t synonyms #I’m hesitantly tagging this #brudick #just because I mentioned I ship them and want to do anyone that blocks that tag the courtesy of ignoring me #bruce wayne #and another thing!!!! i don’t consider dick’s relationship with damian negatively at all #it was extreme circumstances as comic books often are and they have a very healthy parent/child relationship from what i’ve seen #*

The most sibling thing the batfam does is Jason stealing Dick’s friends. That is peak sibling finding a reason to try to kill each other.

I love when Jason has an important place in Tim’s life and I hate when he has Dick’s place in Tim’s life. Like of course if Jason never died Dick’s approach to Tim would be very different but that doesn’t mean he would be less important! (Than in canon but also, than Jason. ‘Scuze you!)

DP x DC: Of Cooking and Ghosts

Danny is a single father. Dani is now physically her actual age making Danny, at the tender age of 20 the father of a 4 year old(5 in a couple months)

Danny moved to Blood Haven. He's got a decent paying job, lives in a decent neighborhood, and his schedule allows him to take Dani to and from school. It had been a bit of an adjustment, but he and his daughter are doing alright. There's just one problem...

Danny can't cook

Danny never learned how to cook and frankly he can't just keep eating fast food and takeout. His parents weren't the best cooks but at least his dad could make flapjacks that didn't come alive and attack them. Hell, he missed going over to Tuckers and getting fed by Mrs. Foley, because that woman could really cook. Danny needed something homemade, surely cooking couldn't be THAT hard...

Dick was quite alarmed to find smoke coming out of his neighbor's door as he came back from walking Haley. His instincts kicked in, leading to one officer Grayson bursting in and putting out a small grease fire much to the chagrin of his neighbor, Danny. Dick invites Danny and his daughter Dani to his place down the hall while the smoke clears out. So Dick makes them the one food he knows how to make

Pancakes

Turns out neither of them are the most robust of chefs. Dick calls Alfred and gets some recipes to try and him and Danny make plans to go over to Dick's place and learn a couple. Dani likes to "help" aka play with Haley, and Danny and Dick bond over learning to cook and eating just a bit healthier

OR

I rewatched an episode of Sweetness and Lightning and am still on my Romcom bullshit. So Danny and Dick get a meet cute and then learn how to feed themselves. Frankly I'm not sure how or if secret identities and ghosts work into this, i just am feeling sappy and wanted something cute. Could be romantic, could just be friends, could be found family, idk

#danny phantom #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #dpxdc #green elephants #just needed some cutesy romcom fluff #and we know that Dick can at least make pancakes #but it's still funny to imagine the man not being able to cook at all #Just imagine Jason coming up after hearing dickie bird is learning to cook #looking at them and just sighing before rolling up his sleeves and teaching them to properly use a kitchen knife #Jason later leaves decent cookware outside their doors #doesn't leave a note #but they still know

Dick with a habit of going to a new therapist under a persona, talking to them vaguely about a trauma, whatever he needs to get out at the moment, and then dumping them as soon as they tell him what he wants to hear

“You seem to be very well adjusted.”

“It’s understandable for you to respond that way given an impossible situation.”

“You are remarkably self aware.”

“I feel like you need to ask yourself how much more you are willing to sacrifice for him.”

#this bitch is so manipulative it’s the only way he can function #‘a licensed professional told me that they think i’m doing alright so I must be good :)’#dickie bird #dick grayson #“i am going to get a good grade in therapy which is both normal to want and possible to achieve’’#but he hasn’t said one fully truthful thing in 45 minutes and the poor grad student is falling for it hook line and sinker #adding this to my fic #*
