fuck it, i'm talking about beast world
(i have not read issue #1 yet, this is mostly a rant about tom taylor and #6, so kind of spoilers for dick in beast world)
ok, so the cover for #6 was announced and...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i'm pissed
so, firstly, this article on it made me want to cry
WHY IS THAT THE TITLE FUCK OFF
i am sick and tired of the "nightwing is a sex symbol" bc why do they keep forcing this narrative
also, this is a direct quote from tom taylor
Yes, you do get Nightwing turned into a fox because we’d be inhuman monsters not to do that. People want to see that.
do i like dick as a fox bc i like dick and i like foxes, so i am happy for that, but the fact it has been done purely for the sex symbol reason is annoying
tom taylor's run is something. there are good things about it (haley) but a lot of mis-writing of dick as a character and ignoring a lot of characterisation that has occurred aver the past 83 years. i like the limiting of his sexualisation - it is a lot less present in taylor's run than previous runs - but making dick a fox bc foxy get it bc foxy bc sexy is stupid and annoying
dick WOULD be a fox, but not because of that. he would be a fox because he is a trickster, he is manipulative (something tom taylor seems to forget half the time). this man can fool batman if he wants. this is a good enough reason for him to be a fox but no, it's because he is sexy
it also fits with the bats being canines (not damian but cat damian makes so much sense and it's close enough) with bruce and jason both being wolves. dick as a fox fits this perfectly. especially with him, bruce, and jason, the three characters that mirror each other. bruce and jason are both wolves because they are the same. they are so similar it's scary sometimes (my own opinion on them anyway. there are differences between them ofc but they are a lot more similar than they are different). dick is a fox because his is the same but different. a canine but he chose his own path, became a better version of batman. a master manipulator.
there was a perfect reasoning but it was thrown out because "let's continue the over-sexualisation of him" was the easy way out
do i think the better reasoning might end up being the actual reasoning in the comics, possibly. idk if they will dive into the reasoning tbh, i'm not holding out hope for it.
idk man, i think beast world is gonna be fun, but this just made me cry
i'm only happy bc the cover by sweeny boo is actually nice (it doesn't accentuate his ass so tysm for that bc now i don't feel bad when i use it in my nightwing widget)
also, i am not someone who hates tom taylor. ii think his writing is fine and i love superman: son of kal-el ok. he doesn't write dick badly, sometimes he just misses and that is ok. i still like the run and will still get it and read it bc i'm enjoying it ok
i just don't like the OVER-sexualisation of dick

you’re loosing me
wrote this on my phone the day you’re loosing me
pairing: dick grayson x fem!reader (I don’t think any pronouns are used tho)
summary: the end of a relationship is never fun
warnings: probs bad might delete later
Tumblr media
“I don’t know, I just don’t see myself marrying you” dick states
You snort, “but you saw yourself marrying Barbara and Kory?”
You smile while saying it, trying to play it off as a lighthearted conversation, like you didn’t hear your heart break, like he practically wasn’t saying that you weren’t good enough to marry.
He shrugs, “yeah but that’s different they’re like heroes”
and they’re prettier than you? Smarter? Braver? Stronger? He loved them more than you? It wasn’t like he was meaning to judge you but it felt like it. It felt like he was judging you for not being as good as them.
You scrunch your lips in distaste, “hmmm not really but ok.”
He laughs in disbelief, noticing the slight venom to your words, “you seriously can’t be mad at me for saying I wouldn’t marry you, you’re the one who asked me!”
You’re jaw clenches at his words, first it was I don’t see myself marrying you, now it was I wouldn’t marry you, you shut your jaw and try to compose yourself.
He notices your response, or lack thereof, and states something before you even get the chance to speak, “it’s not like you would marry me!”
Your face turns into one of disgust and confusion, “Dick I would marry you in a heartbeat.” You state.
For a moment he just stares at you, knowing he can’t say the same to you. You shrug and turn your head back to the tv and watch some random sitcom on ABC family, ignoring the burning sensation in your stomach all the way up to your heart. He inches closer to you and wraps an arm around you.
“You know I love you, right?”
“Right.” is what your mouth says but the achy sensation in your heart is telling a different story.
A month later and thing start quickly going downhill, more arguing, more resentment, less love.
“I don’t understand.” Dick says
“I know you don’t.” You reply
“Then help me understand!”
“I can’t! Alright?”
“I’m sick of your fucking mind games!”
“My mind games?!?”
“Yes! You say you I judge you! I don’t”
“Yes you do like non stop as you’re off saving lives!”
“I’ve told you like a thousand times I don’t judge what you do!”
“Uh no no yes you do judge me. Like last month remember? You said you wouldn’t marry because I’m not a hero!”
“What?” He sighs, “okay, if I did say that I was probably just agreeing with you.”
“Well you did. You did say it. And I just can’t unhear the judgement in your voice.”
“Oh my god! Give me fucking break.” He shouts, “you don’t feel judged by me, you don’t and you know you don’t. You have judgement on yourself and you’re making this about me.” He pauses to look at you, “I have been nothing but supportive of you. You say you want to be attorney I say “that’s great, I love you.” but then you don’t believe me, so then you say you want to volenteer at an library for underprivileged youth, and I say “that’s great, I love you.” And then you’re mad at me for supporting that, it’s like I can’t fucking win with you!”
“Cause you never should have let me do the library, Dick!” You sigh, “like you know me better than anybody and you let me quit a job that I love to go teach children to fucking read! You should’ve stopped me!”
“You kept saying that that was what you wanted and it’s not my fucking job to make you be honest with me!”
“Yeah you’re right, I don’t know what came over me I’m sorry.” You say in defeat just wanted the argument to end
“No your not because you still think I’m in the wrong. I’m not. You make everything constantly about you. You don’t care about at all about Nightwing except how it relates to you, how it makes you feel. And it’s exhausting. Like what about me? I want somebody to show up for me and to support me. Not just someone who’s always thinking about themselves. And if you do have a problem you need to fucking talk to me.” He pauses for emphasis, “but instead you spin and spin and you quit your job and you hide things from me, like we’re in a relationship, we’re supposed to be partners”
“Dick what the fuck do you want me to do? I patch you up after patrol, I stay up for you because I know you don’t want to go to sleep alone, I follow your rules because I know it’s for my safety. What more do you want?”
“I want you to see that what I do is for greater good!”
“Yes I do, you make that perfectly clear! And I’m sure if it were between me and the fucking greater good you would choose the greater good! Because I’m no fucking Starfire or fucking Batgirl, I’m just me and apparently that’s not enough for you!”
“Oh my god this again! How many times do I have to tell you that I love you for you?!?”
“I never said you didn’t, you just don’t love me as much as you love them! You’ve made that as clear as a window.”
“Is this about the marriage thing because if it is then fine let’s go get married.”
“You don’t understand.”
“Then help me understand because you’re acting fucking crazy!”
“I don’t want you to marry me out of spite! I want you to marry me because you want to! And that isn’t the fucking problem!”
“Then what is?”
“I can’t be what you want!”
“I have never said that!”
“You don’t have to I can fucking feel it!”
Dick sighs, “fine if you can’t see that I love you for who you are then maybe this isn’t going to work out.”
“Yeah maybe.” You sigh, “I’m going to sleep in the guest room tonight.”
“I’m going out.” He says as he walks out the door and slams it.
When the door shuts you mutter a ‘fuck you to’ to particularly no one. Then you rush to the bathroom for a nice clearing your mind shower. What the fuck was happening. What the actual fuck. Was this the end of a five year relationship. Just like that five year relationship down the drain. Well not just like that, it’s been a long time coming. Recently you’ve started to notice that the relationship was slowly and painfully becoming more of a burden then a joy. You cut your hair, he didn’t notice. You hardly ever saw him anymore because of his work, and when you did it was just arguing. You would call him and it would go to voicemail and you would listen to it because you haven’t heard his voice in a while. And you thought that maybe a job that helps people more would bring you closer to him, but it didn’t. If anything it made things worse, you resented him as if he made you get the job. And you resented for not seeing that you resented him. You didn’t want to resent him because that was the first sign of a end of a relationship. And it feels so fucking horrible to resent the person you love for no reason. He didn’t make you quit your job, you made yourself. He was right it’s not his job to make you be honest with him. None of this was his fault. And you know he feels the same way. You saw the sparkle in his eyes leave. You felt him seeing you as a chore to check off his to-do list. You see him see you as to needy. So you saw the end coming. You just didn’t know it would be so painful. You guess it’s true what people say, “sometimes people just grow apart”.
As the cold water hits your skin, you’re brought out of your thoughts. The hot having turning cold reminded you just how long you have been in the shower. But instead of getting out, you let the water stream down your face, disguising your tears.
After a long hard talk about what you both want, you decided it was time to go.
“so I guess this is goodbye?” you say with a bitter sweet smile
“Yeah I guess.” He says with that same bittersweet smile.
“I’ve regretted endless things but I don’t think I’ll ever regret you. You taught me how to love and for that I’m forever grateful.” You state walking over to him to embrace him in hug
Dick welcomes the hug and mumbles “I hate how you’re so poetic even in a time of despair.”
“Oh please you love that about me!” You pull back appalled
“Yeah I guess” he sighs
“I’ll miss you.”
“I’ll miss you to”
“Goodbye.” You say as you let go of his hands
“Goodbye.” As he says it you have to hold back from saying ‘I love you’ because now he wasn’t yours.
You turn to leave and are you about to open the door but pause. There’s so many unsaid words. Unfinished dreams. Unfulfilled accomplishments. But maybe they were better off left that way. You then open the door and leave behind a whirlwind of memories but also find new ones. You do not know what will come from Dick’s part in your life but you know it led you closer to you’re happy ending. While you still love him, you realized you’re just not what each other need anymore and that’s okay.

Blind Faith
by Omega_Rora In an alternate to my final chapter of my last work, Poison Ivy does a lot more damage then just whammying Damian and Dick. Poor Jason is just trying to relax and be with his family. Instead of just Dick and Damian getting hit by the white slime, they all got hit and Ivy managed to drag them all away to her hideout, but because Damian is smarter than the rest of his family, he noticed that while he couldn’t hear human voices, he could hear artificial sounds and other human noises. And he’s a trained assassin. He can fight without his eyes. He managed to get away from Poison Ivy while Batgirl, Nightwing and Batman were taken.

Yandere!Damian Wayne x Reader Pt. 14
Tumblr media
⚠️Warnings⚠️: Mention if death. Kidnapping, Threatening, and Injury From Possible Concussion
🇺🇸Word Count🇺🇸: 1,637
👾Characters👾: 8,636
Eight hours. What was suppose to take five hours at MAXIMUM took eight fucking hours. You could never get those eight hours back. Damian had probably been wondering were you were. Would if he thought you were dead? Well now you knew that wasn’t the case when he saw you again and hugged you through the entire night. Tomorrow was the last day. You had one more day till it was all over. One more day till you might be dead. Tomorrow would be day 7. The final day. You needed to know who this person was. Though, you did learn that the man who might rob you of your life was named Grayson. Dick, Grayson. And that’s exactly why he went on your list tonight. And tomorrow Cass or Steph might be your last guess.
##############################
Fuck. That’s the only word you could think of. One guess. That’s all you had left. That guess would determine whether you lived or died this night. You couldn’t do it. There was about a thousand kids in this school and it could be any one of them. You couldn’t escape your death bed. But maybe you didn’t have to. Maybe you needed to escape the execution. Running came to your mind, but they would never let you leave. This was the end. You knew it. Today was the day you were going to die.
Deaths main goal is to make whatever it’s out for to disappear. You weren’t ready to go. You were only fifteen for fucks sake! What about college or your family or your friends?! That was all going to go away. You weren’t ready. You. Weren’t. Ready. If you weren’t ready, you weren’t going to do it. Death wasn’t going to take you. You had a plan. Kill or get killed. It wasn’t your time to go. You needed to kill whoever this was before they killed you. And you had a few plans in mind.
It was simple. You needed to stay in your room the entire time. No one comes in, no one comes out. You had all the safe food with you. You had safe cameras. You had weapons. You had everything you needed. You would survive this night. You weren’t going to die from murder. You were going to die as an old lady in her warm bed. Today was not the day. Though, a sudden knock woke you right out of your motivational thought. As you neared your dorm door a letter stared up at you from your dark red carpet. A letter? Who would send you a letter.
You hesitantly went to go pick it up. What if it was a bomb? No, it couldn’t be. Bombs would bulge out of the envelope. Maybe this was a hand written letter. As you opened it, your face turned pale right as your began to read the first words.
Dear my beloved,
Greetings again. You didn’t really think I would just give up on you, did you? Now, now, there’s no need to panic. I’ve told you before I’m not going to harm you. When you accuse me of these things it hurts N/n. I thought you would be smarter than this. My goal is to bring you home. With me and your brothers and sisters. I’m not going to kill you. I suggest you stop hiding in your room all day and come out. You’ve got one guess. But I thought maybe I could make this more interesting. Survive. If you can successfully keep me from you all night, if you guess incorrectly on your last guess, then I’ll let you go. But if you lose….. you come home with me! I’ll see you soon Y/n.
Sincerely,
Your secret admirer
No, no, no, no, no. It wasn’t suppose to end like this. How did he know?! It wasn’t like he was watching you from cameras or something, right? Right? This couldn’t be happening, but it was happening. This wasn’t a dream, this was real life. And it was happening to you in the broad daylight. But, maybe, just maybe, this was a good thing. You just had to survive. Katniss Everdeen survived the hunger games with a bunch of savages. She used her brain. You had a brain. You could do this. You might be able to see your friends and family again. You might be able to see Damian again. Speaking of Damian, you had shut him out all day. It wasn’t good for him to be near you. Whoever was sending you these letters was clearly dangerous in some sort of way.
You picked up the letter and plucked a hair strand from your head and put it into the envelope. People would need to know that you were here. They might even have officers involved to send an investigation for you. Then, it hit you. Officers. What were officers? People. What do people do? Help. Where could you find multiple people? A crowd. A crowd! That’s it! That’s all you needed! This person couldn’t take you if so many people were around! But there was only one problem. What event was happening today? A sunset! People would be there! It might not be a lot, but people would still be there. Maybe, just maybe, you could have people stay with you till it reaches midnight. That would being your get away. You just needed it to work.
The day awaited. The door being taped shut. Your computer being opened with you typing ways to lock yourself inside of your room. Studying what time the sunset would start. You were going to pull this off. That was what you thought as you walked town the hall way. You were prepared. You had two knives in both of your pockets and you had pepper spray inside of your small bag. You just needed to sit and watch.
The air had a nice breeze. It may have been near the end of April, but it still felt lovely on your skin. You couldn’t remember the last time you sat down to look at a sunset. If you had to die, you couldn’t wish for it to be any different than watching a beautiful sunset.
As you sat down on the gray, lumpy rock, you felt another presence sit beside you. You tilted your head and, too your surprise, Damian sat their. He was watching the sunset with that same cold glare you’d grown use to. God, was he probably pissed off.
“Why were you ignoring my texts and calls”, he crumpled out. Yup, he was definitely pissed.
“He’s coming after me Damian. It-it wasn’t safe for you to be around me. Not when he could jump out at any place”, you said miserably. You didn’t want to die with him angry at you. You wanted to kiss him. It might be your last kiss, but you wouldn’t want it any other way.
“So you decided to come out here? In public. He could also grab you from anywhere you know. It quite stupid, Y/n. I thought you were smarter than this”.
“I’m sorry. I don’t want things to end this way. I couldn’t- I couldn’t live with myself if my final moments would be with you hating me. Please”, you said as a tear escape your eye. You were going to die. You knew it. It scared you. Who wouldn’t be scared? It was the unknown, which most people seem to be afraid of.
“I’m not mad. I just want to help you, Y/n. I can’t- I can’t loose you. You’re the only thing I fucking have. Without you, I’d honestly go mad. You can’t leave me. I wouldn’t even let you”, he said with a smile creeping up onto his face. You’re rarely saw him smile. God was he just adorable. What would you do without him.
As you two watched the sunset you could only begin to remember. You remember watching the sunset on your first day here with Steph. You were going to miss it. All of what you’ve learned paid off. You would never forget these moments as your life would slip away from you.
The thing is, you knew you were going to die. It didn’t matter if they killed you or not. You would rather live dead and free than be imprisoned in some unfamiliar place. It would be your choice. Someway, somehow, you would escape one way or another. Whether you lived was the question.
As you walked back to your dorm, Damian began to speak. “I’m going to go grab something from my room. Put the note in your locker and then go back to your dorm straight after. ……. Y/n, we’ve got this. We can do this. I’ll be with you the entire time”, he said as he rubbed your arm up and down in a soothing motion.
You smiled at him before you both turned around to continue your adventure. As you neared your navy blue locker, you put the note inside that read “Stephanie Brown”. Your last guess.
As you walked back to your dorm you could only begin to realize something was horribly wrong. The pepper spray and your hand was tightened by your fingers. As you neared your dorm you could feel that feeling increase. You walked inside of your room feeling off. You looked under your bed, in your closets, and out of your window. Though, you forgot one thing. Behind you. The loud sound of a boom entered your ears. Looking up after you’d fallen down from impact you saw someone staring down at you. It was none other than, Stephanie? “I’ll see you soon, Y/n”, she said as she hit your head one more time with the object she was holding. As you collapsed you were unable to process what was happening. Maybe you’d understand tomorrow. Or maybe in the next few years.

please please please please I know nothing I’m oblivious who are these funky little lads that are apparently Bruce Waynes kids
Was going thru my drafts and realized I never answered this ask im so sorry!!
I started writing a HUGEEEE thing explaining as much as I could (ended up being over 4k) but I felt that was a bit much so ill just explain the basics on the bat kids. Just a long paragraph for each. Keep in mind that canon changes a lot and there are different comics and shows and version of the characters. Ill just explain what I know the most
Dick Grayson: First Robin. Now goes by Nightwing. Was a spy in one comic and went by Grayson but we don’t like that one that much. Also got amnesia at one point and went by Ric. We hate Ric, don’t bring him up. Was part of the flying graysons in Haley’s Circus with his parents but they were killed by Tony Zucco during a performance (their line broke). Bruce was in the crowd and made Dick is ward. Dick was 8 at the time. When he was 18 he had a fight with bruce and moved to Bludhaven. Thats where he became Nightwing. Hes the oldest kid
Jason Todd: Second Robin. Goes by Red Hood. He lived in Crime Alley by himself (father was in prison (later died) and mom overdosed). Wanted to make some cash so tried to steal the wheels of the batmobile. Bruce was honestly impressed and took him in. Dick was a bit upset at first (bruce give jason robin without asking. In most comics robin was a nickname dicks mom called him) but eventually warmed up to jason. I could go on a whole rant about how jason wasnt the angry robin most ppl say, but I wont. Bruce thinks he killed someone and benches him. Jason finds out his mom isnt his bio mom. His bio mom is in Ethipoia and he goes to find her. She sells him out to joker. Joker tortures him with a crowbar and leaves him in a building that explodes (also kills the bio mom). Talia al Ghul (daughter of Ra’s al Ghul. Hes the leader of the League of Assassins) brings him back to life via lazarus pit. Jasons story is very long so ill just say he comes back angry, tries to get bruce to kill joker, almost kills tim (hes next), kinda becomes the head crime lord in crime alley, and is hella hella protective of the kids and working girls in crime alley. Hes also a book nerd. Wanted to be an english major before he died. He and batwoman (mentioned in honorably mentions below) use guns. Sometimes he uses rubber bullets, sometimes he deosnt. In his newest reboot he uses a crowbar and has a different outfit. Not a fan of it. in some versions he doesnt work with the batfam, in others he rejoins them. i like the latter more.
Tim Drake: Third Robin. Currently goes by Red Robin. (yes like the restaurant. Yes its a running joke in the fandom) The smart robin. Smarter than batman in some universes (most imo). Figured out batmans identity by himself when he was like 8-9. when jason dies bruce doesn’t pull his punches at all and tim is like “he needs a robin.” tries to get dick to come back, but he says no. so tim basically forces himself into bruces life as robin until bruce relents. Tim has a hella messed up storyline that I don’t know very well. Jason tries to kill him, Damian tries to kill him (hes next), theres one story line where bruce is lost in time and tim is the only one who doesn’t think hes dead. Lots of stuff happens. Bascially all his friends die, his parents die, he loses his spleen- its a mess. Hes also the ceo of wayne enterprise in some comics. We also joke that hes an immortal 17 yr old cuz hes almost always 17 in the comics. Tim is bi and has a boyfriend named Bernard (I ship him more with kon tho)
Damian Wayne: Fourth Robin. Trained as an assassin since birth. He’s bruces bio son. Son of talia and bruce. Becomes robin when hes 9 I think. In one story, the bruce lost in time one, dick just gives robin to damian cuz “he needs it.” damian was very…. Murdery at first. Has a sword. Very talented artist. Very very smart. Can take advanced college courses at like age 7. smart boy. He has the most character devleopment in my opinion. Calls himself “the blood son.” is best friends with superman’s son, Jon.
Stephanie Brown: Steph. Goes by Spoiler now. is kinda Robin 3.5. or 2.5 idk when in the timeline she was robin, but she was robin for like 2 weeks before getting fired. Idk much about her. Her father is Cluemaster (villain). Isn’t adopted by bruce, but is his kid nonetheless. She and tim dated at one point.
Cassandra Cain: Cass. Goes by Orphan or Black Bat, depending on the comic. Was raised to be a weapon by her father. Idk his name. Her mother is Lady Shiva, another world class assassin. Cass was taught to not speak cuz “weapons don’t have feelings.” she knows sign and when bruce takes her in he helps her find her voice. In some versions she can speak, in others she just says one or two words at a time, and in some she just uses sign. Shes other than jason (by like 2 months) but younger than dick. Not sure if shes adopted or not.
Duke Thomas: Goes by Signal. I know the least about him. Also not adopted. His parents were jokerized (got posioned with joker gas and kinda went insane.) He’s a meta apparently? I learned that recently. Has photokenesis: ability to absorb, redistribute, and manipulate both light and darkness. Is the daytime hero I think.
Barbara Gordon: Used to be Batgirl, is now Oracle. (in some version steph and cass were batgirl at one point) Not adopted by bruce. Shes Commissioner Gordon’s daughter. Very very smart. Very very badass. Is the guy in the chair for the batfam. Joker shot her in her spine when breaking into her apartment and paralyzed her. But she can still kick hella ass in that wheelchair. She and dick used to date.
Honorable mentions: Kate Kane, Batwoman. She’s Bruce’s cousin. Lucas Fox, Batwing. Lucius Fox’s son. Selina Kyle, Catwoman. She and bruce r kinda sorta in a relationship. Its complicated sometimes. Kate Kelly, Robin. Shes in a separate universe I believe. Don’t know much about her at all. She uses a slingshot.
And of course, Alfred Pennyworth. We love alfred. He has guns hidden around the manor in canon. Bruce doesn’t like guns. Alfred knows this and says “youll never find all of them.” hes sassy and we stan.
And those r the main members of the batfam! Sorry this took so long to answer. It comepletely slipped my mind. I probably forgot a few details, but oh well.

Dabi is like Jason Todd because they're both well-intentioned assholes who are older brothers,hate their dad for traumatizing them(unintentionally in Bruce's case but absolutely intentional in End///eavor's case)and have black and white hair where the white part was caused by something supernatural
Fuyumi is like Dick Grayson because they're both the most responsible of their siblings,are sweet but have a lot of pentup anger and do their best to take care of everyone at the cost of their own mental health
Natsuo is like Duke Thomas because they're both incredibly smart,have trauma that has to do with their parents which made them work hard to help people(becoming a doctor/The Signal)and are chaotic and chill at the same time
Shouto is like Damian Wayne because he was raised to be a weapon(read:abused)and made friends who helped him become the introverted but still kind and caring boy he is now and he's also like Tim Drake because he's a teen genius who likes making snarky remarks and learns how to work as a team with others
Momo is like Stephanie Brown because they're both bubbly and kindhearted girly girls who struggle with their self-eestem,are stronger and smarter than they think,take zero shit and are the love interest to the aformentioned teen genius,who they have 'friends to lovers' and 'battle couple' dynamic with
Eri is like Cassandra Cain because both of them have at least one birth parent who abandoned them,were used as tools for villany by the man who 'took them in'(for lack of a better term)and got adopted by a black haired man with a tragic backstoryTM that broods a lot and is a loving dad to them who helps them with their power

The Stray
Summary: You find a kitten on your walk and somehow have to convince your boyfriend to let you keep him.
Words: 1.4k
Characters: Reader x Dick Grayson, Damian Wayne, Kitten.
Warnings: Fluff, so much fluff, bonding with the baby bat, helping a lost kitten.
Tumblr media
"It's following us," you said to Dick, turning to pick up the kitten that had been following you for the last two blocks “maybe it needs a good home?" You cradled the dirt covered kitten in your arms.
"It's not. It's just doing its normal neighbourhood check," He said, his heart softening when he saw your adorable face holding the kitten in your arms.
'But it's so cute and look, love. It's covered in fleas, this poor baby needs a home," you pouted at him, giving him your best puppy dog eyes while sticking out your bottom lip.
"We can't just be bringing home every lost little kitten you find because they look like they need some love,"
"Why not?" You pout even harder, fluttering your eyelashes at him. You held the sad looking kitty up, hoping its sad little face will help your cause.
"Because our apartment isn't big enough," he sighed, running his hand over his face.
"Remind me again, where are we going?"
"To pick Damian and Tim up from school," you give him a look, raising your eyebrows up at him, he seemed to get what you were implying, "Right,"
"Bruce said it was ok to pick up strays and bring them home. Shouldn't I aspire to be more like him?" you smiled, wrapping the little bundle in your scarf.
“No honey, you're perfect the way you are,” Dick smiled down at you, holding you close to block out the chill of the winter wind, “how about this, we bring it home, clean it up and you can find it a new home?” he mumbled into your hair.
You arrive at the school just in time to meet the boys after class. Tim is still holding his coffee mug in his hand when he spots the two of you, rolling his eyes as he leans against the school gate. Damian looks just as displeased as always, "I'm smarter than the teachers here, why do I have to go?" He whined at his brother, Dick saying nothing as he pulled him in for a quick hug. He was right though, the pair of them were both smarter than you would ever be and you figured Bruce had just sent them here to get them socialised. 
Squeezing the little bundle under your arm, you knew someone would appreciate your new friend.
“Damian! Damian! Look what I found,” you cried, excitedly running up to the boy who was hiding his amusement behind a book. You wouldn't have that, thrusting the kitten over the book and towards his face.
“He is very cute, he looks malnourished and are those fleas?” he said, raising his eyebrow at you. He took the little kitten from your arms, tucking him into his jacket.
“Yes, how did you know it was a He?” you asked, but not really surprised that he would.
“I just know,” he smirked confidently under his brow at you.
“Wanna come over and help me clean him up?” Your eyes shifting from Dick to Damian, you had been trying so hard to find an in with this kid and this would be just the thing.
Dick had taken Tim home, while you and Damian had gone to the store to pick up supplies to clean this little critter up. He insisted on getting all the best things for your new friend including a $70 bottle of shampoo. You didn't know why it had to be that one, but trusted that Damian knew what he was doing.
You arrived home to your tiny apartment before Dick, sending him a quick text asking when he’d be home. He replied immediately letting you know he’d be staying back at the manor to help Tim with ‘homework’. 
“We need to get him in the bathroom,” Damian said, shutting the door behind you so your new friend can’t spread fleas through your house, “Hold him, yes. Like that,” he said, handing you the fancy brush, “Now you need to start at the ends, to get the barbs out,” you followed his instructions, working to groom some of the knots and barbs from the kitty's fur. 
Damian started preparing the bath, placing one of the spare towels along the bottom before filling it an inch deep with warm water. His eyes glanced over to you every few minutes while he checked the temperature of the water. You made sure to follow his instructions to the tee lest you be given the Wayne family scowl.
“Hold him just like this,” he instructed you, moving the kitten around in your hands “Don’t move him. I’m going to start and I don’t want to cut him,”
“Ok good,” he said and you feel your heart swell just a tiny bit. He doesn't look at you as he cautiously clips the knots you couldn't brush away and gently washed the dirt from his fur. You watched intently as this tiny little assassin used such care and grace to clean up the stray, a smile lighting up your face when the dirt is finally washed away, “He's a ginger, I didn't even see under all the dirt.” Damian says excitedly, grabbing the warm towel from under him and picking the kitten up and wrapping him up.
“He’s so cute,” you cooed, reaching out to pat him on the head. How were you supposed to just find this little cutie a new home? He was so adorable maybe you could convince Dick to let you keep him.
“He's perfect,” Damian said, drying him off before setting the little guy on his feet, “Hello, Mr West. You’re going to like it here. My big brother with take good care of you,” he patted the little kitten on the head, before standing. 
“Dick said we can’t keep him,” you opened, the fridge grabbing out some snacks and setting them on the counter.              
“I’m vegetarian,” Damian said, like you didn’t know.
“Yeah, little dude, I know,” you pulled out a glass of Orange juice and set it infront of him with a cold glass, “Hence the salami, which is for me not you.” The young man eyed you, peering from the plate of cut up fruit and back to you, like he was seeing you for the first time. He took a helping of humus onto his carrot stick and continued eating while you pottered around making a start on dinner. “Should we go and check on Mr West?” you asked when you had everything prepared to throw your meal together when Dick got home.
“I’ll go check on him,” he said, hopping down from the stool and heading into the bathroom. 
You phone rings and you see its Dick calling, “Hey love, what’s up? You going to be home soon?”
“Not far away, Tim's project took longer than I though. I'm nearly home,”
“See you soon,” you said hanging up the call, “So how's he going?” you asked Damian when he repapered.
“Scared, but he’s crawled up in your laundry basket, he’ll be asleep soon.”
“Thank you for all your help. I wish I could keep him, but you know how Dick can be,”
“I do. Let me handle it.” he said in a matter of fact tone.
“What?”
“Grayson is a soft touch. I will handle him.” he says confidently, “DO you require my assistance with dinner?”
“I’m all good, do you need help with your homework?”
He says nothing, just looking at you like he can't believe you just asked him that. His gaze almost immediately turning back to his workbook while you put dinner together.
“Honey, I’m home.” Dick called from the front door, but instead of you he’s greeted by a wide eyed boy tugging on his sleeve.
“Grayson, you need to see this,” he says, dragging his brother into the bathroom. Where he had positioned you, the kitten resetting in your arms half asleep, your own eyes looking up at the love of your life. You saw the his eyes narrow down at his brother, “This is your doing,”
“I don’t know what you mean,” Damian said, feigning innocence, “I just thought they looked really comfy. Plus if you kept Mr West, I’d have to come check on him all the time,”
“You’re both evil,” he glares at the both of you giving him those sweet doe eyes, “Ugh, fine,” he sighed, “you can keep- Mr West was it?”
“Yeah, Dami named him.”
“Dami?” he peered down at his little brother who was not protesting the nickname that you had just given him. Damian just shrugged, turning to head back into the kitchen. “Why West?” Dick asked you, taking a seat on the floor next to you and wrapping an arm around your shoulder, 
“After Wally,” you kissed down onto his soft little ginger head, “You hear that little guy, you’re staying. Welcome to your new home Mr West,”

It’s always been weird to me that while the Fab Five (Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Wally West, Roy Harper and Garth) are rightly too old for the Teen Titans and have all “graduated” so to speak, the same seemingly isn’t the case for the New Teen Titans generation as well? Like Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven should all be in their early twenties at least? Vic and Kory moved on in the New 52, but Gar and Raven seem perpetually stuck where they started, when frankly I’d rather see how they could work in other team dynamics - say, Raven in the Shadowpact/Justice League Dark and Beast Boy with Justice League International. What do you think?
i thought i answered this already is what i think!
yeah the thing is that Raven, Starfire and Cyborg were made specifically for the NTT, with no outstanding ties to bigger books, and Gar's ties to the Doom Patrol have become very weak.
they're the most recognizable Titan Primaries, especially since the cartoon, so even when DC tries them out elsewhere
(they will not stop shoving Vic into random teams to fill their black guy quota. please just use john stewart in the League. i wasn't impressed with the amount of thought that went into that retcon, or kori's characterization in Outlaws. Bizarro and Artemis are working out better since it's less obviously weird to deform them into Jason sidekicks. but i cannot believe they put vic in Doom Patrol with gar's family and gar in Titans without vic. guys why.)
they're anchored there, in the same way Dick is anchored in the batbooks.
The Five besides Dick keep getting killed and retconned and reprogrammed in all kinds of ways, but they're all primarily anchored to their book of origin and anyone putting them into a team has to be prepared to potentially share--like, none of the Wonder Woman writers have had much use for Donna in a long time, but if she was appearing regularly they might decide to poach her, and then you've got office politics....but the most prominent NTT originals are cheap recognition fodder for anyone throwing together a Titans pitch, so ofc they keep showing up there.
Tell you what though I will never recover from that brief period where they designed a team where Damian was leading a Titans that included Kori and Gar, and Gar looked about 2 years older than Damian and was perfectly cheerful about having this brat micromanage his shapeshifting. (Bc you know, Damian's love of animals is one of his charm points.)
Gar wouldn't take that level of condescension or control from Dick, and a profound loathing of uppity thirteen-year-olds who think they're smarter than him is like. Very much a thing with him.

Silly/Dumb Things that Make Me Irrationally Angry
disclaimer: the key words here are “silly” & “dumb”
The “Narnia Kids are the Founders of Hogwarts” theory
The “it was all a dream” theory
Thinking protagonist = hero
When fandom villainizes a character simply because they’re “in the way of a ship”
Character in relationship starts pursuing a different character (typically the MC) but doesn’t break up with the character they’re currently dating?????
Speed running enemies to lovers trope (that’s a trope for slow burns wtf are you doing put it down!)
Calling Disney’s Beauty & The Beast a story about Stockholm Syndrome 
Calling any diverse media “woke” to undermine it
Misunderstanding how tags work on ao3 (particularly the / and & for pairings)
Misunderstanding the purpose of tags on ao3
Calling Lucy Heartfilia weak 
Forgetting that Dick Grayson was a mathlete
Basing all of Jason Todd’s personality on his anger and ruthlessness 
Misunderstanding Jason Todd’s anger
The DCEU butchering my boy Batsy
The “I was accidentally eavesdropping and left believing they were talking shit about me but turns out I missed the most important bits” trope
Being a military historian who loves the Civil War (I don’t trust you)
Using the word “females” to sound smarter (you just sound dumb also “women” is right there)
Spring Break being colder than usual (IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF MARCH IN TEXAS WHY WAS I SHIVERING)
Calling me by a nickname that I already refused to (you gotta earn that shit)
Ep 2.08 is never really touched on again after it’s “resolved”
vld’s lost potential (while i have made my peace, i will still bare my scars)
text blocks in fics
dialogue with no quotation marks 
“Oh lookie, we got this wonderful fantastical world (that takes some inspiration from history) with it’s own politics and world building BUT we keep the sexism and racial prejudice bc the inspiration we pulled was medieval times :)” <- i will fight you for sport
mistaking rivals to lovers for enemies to lovers (similar flavor just R to L is slightly tamer. can they blend? yes, but they are not the same thing)
the blatant disregard for internet safety on tiktok (why tf would you announce your age, show your face, and air out your dirty laundry to everyone??? where is your caution? this is not vine, lil beans, y’all are stressing me out. did you miss the pbs episode about the dino agents and stranger danger??? or the fever dream computer game our 1st grade class had to play at school???)
if you have the sniffles, for the love of all things holy, please stand up and get a tissue. no one cares if you get up. i honestly prefer hearing you blow out your nose than hearing you suck up snot every 5 minutes.
taking the backstories told by Macaque and Azure about the Monkey King in lmk at face value (biased narratives are a thing! unreliable narrators are a thing! i will give the biggest sigh if Sun Wukong is placed as the sole character at fault in another fic i read with this)
“redemption” arcs
“sympathetic” villains
missing the fucking point about why Batman chooses mercy and rehabilitation over baseless violence (this also coincides with my issue with how some people view Jason as the Punisher 2.0 bc it suffers through the same fucking glorification of justifying apathy of human life and rejection of 2nd chances)
missing the fucking point about what makes Superman super (here’s a hint: it’s not his fucking power)
the fact that i missed most of Vine’s peak bc i wasn’t allowed a phone until middle school
i lost my post canon script of Cinderella in the prince’s POV that i wrote in 6th grade (rip, i should have created a personal gmail so much sooner, i could have saved you T^T)
understanding a motive does not equal justifying or excusing said motive. you just now understand why a person did what they did. maybe you find justification in it, maybe not, but it’s not absolute!

Dick walks into the Gotham Four news headquarters and solves their problem they've been scratching their heads about for nearly a week, which he does in like five seconds, so anyway, now I'm gonna start a "dick grayson is smarter than us" tag to promote my "Dick Grayson does not get enough credit for being a genius detective in his own right." agenda.

so i sat and re-read grayson
i then sat and read it again but i "annotated" it
Tumblr media
this is in preparation for me to go and obtain screenshots of the specific 'annotations'
the code is as followed:
blue - dick grayson being a badass (showing how manipulative or intelligent his really is)
purple - every time dick is sexualised
pink - every time he is sexualised specifically by the girls (and once by agent zero)
gray - mostly full page spreads i just really really like (like all the pages where dick sees bruce, jason and tim, babs, and damian again)
there is also a magenta tab which is the one instance dick was shown to enjoy the sexual comments
i mean i probably missed some stuff and there was a million other things i could have tabbed as well but i wanted to keep it thematic with colours and those were the things i cared about the most so
time to compile the screenshots

“average male superhero is just as objectified as female superheroes” factoid actually just statistical error. nightwing, who lives in a cave and is canonically 10x as hot as the artist can possibly draw him, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Sending the Nightingales and Crows to Meet the Bats and Robins
by Karnia_Queen Timothy Drake-Wayne would like to say that he couldn’t be surprised anymore. He had followed Batman and the first two Robins around for a few years and figured out their identity. He eventually became Robin himself. Tim had not only gone so far as to become a vigilante of Gotham but also fight for the sake of the world with his friends, mainly consisting of aliens, dimensional beings, or metahumans, nearly taking down the League of Assassins by himself and saving Batman from the time stream. Granite, that whole ordeal had been a mess. He was still picking up those pieces of his life, but oh well. Tim was Red Robin, for crying out loud! So why were things constantly surprising him. Right now, it was Samantha Manson. Why was she calling in a favor to have him hide her boyfriend? Or Danny gets hunted by the GIW and hides at the Waynes. Chaos ensues as Danny and Jazz try to find a way to save Amity Park and the Ghost Zone from the GIW, the bats trying to figure out what is going on in said town, and everyone is just trying to keep the other from finding out the other has a superhero identity. Words: 2351, Chapters: 1/?, Language: English Fandoms: Danny Phantom, Batman - All Media Types Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Categories: F/M, Gen Characters: Danny Fenton, Jazz Fenton, Jack Fenton (Danny Phantom), Maddie Fenton, Danielle "Dani" Phantom, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain, Tucker Foley, Sam Manson, Guys in White (Danny Phantom), Vlad Masters, Alfred Pennyworth Relationships: Danny Fenton/Sam Manson Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Angst, Good Parents Jack and Maddie Fenton, Jack and Maddie Fenton are Trying to be Good Parents, Bruce Wayne Tries to Be a Good Parent, Danny Fenton Needs A Hug, Cassandra Cain is Black Bat, Stephanie Brown is Batgirl, Damian Wayne is Robin, Tim Drake is Red Robin, Tim Drake Needs a Break, Jason Todd is Red Hood, Dick Grayson is Nightwing, Alfred Pennyworth is the Best, Jack and Maddie are trying, Competent Guys in White (Danny Phantom), Guys in White hunting Danny, Good Sibling Jazz Fenton, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Ghost King Danny Fenton, Sam Manson kicks Butt, Tucker is smarter than he lets on, Character Death, No Beta- we die like Danny and half of the Bat Family via https://ift.tt/F6f28jz

I have this headcanon that when they were kids Donna was always a little taller than Dick and would lord it over him constantly, but then Dick hits a growth spurt at the last minute(like his senior year or first year of college) and suddenly shoots up to over 6 feet and Donna is d e v a s t a t e d.
