relationships: dick & cass (& bruce)

word count: 5,601

summary:

Dick laughed. "Chin up, Cass. It's your night." He unfolded his arms, wistful, like all of it was fabulous. "Five more minutes. Nothing the perfect heir can't handle, right?" He'd smiled, but there was a sleight of hand that occurred in that space of a second, a magician’s old trick, but before she could fully read him Dick had turned and disappeared into a sea of blonde and blue-eyed, reshifting the center of the room’s gravity.

Or: Dick & Cass vs the year the Gotham press pits Bruce Wayne's two eldest against each other. It's not a crisis—it's a metamorphosis. Probably.

it's too bad dick and kory's wedding went off the rails the way it did because you know tim's reception speech about witnessing their beautiful love story through his surveillance of multiple of their apartments and stalking dick for years would have been a real tearjerker

The hard truth is, you never really get over being Robin

[thesulkycroissant]

Hi guys you ever think about them

[stephexmachina]

the beauty of starfire's character design is that you can never mistake her for anyone else. like no matter what she's doing no matter what she's wearing no matter how stylized the art is you just look at her and you're like yeah that's kory. there's no one else like her. that's kory. i'd know her anywhere.

[ID: Textless Variant cover by Jorge Jimenez for Joker War Five with an added speech bubble. The cover art shows Nightwing and Batman in a fighting stance and surrounded by opponents in clown masks. The added speech bubble contains a screenshot of a post from the twitter account “buckykingofmemes”, saying “i’d follow him to hell and back but i wish he’d just stop going there”]

Endlessly amusing to me that Nightwing was originally a New York hero.

Because that's where the Titans were based when he made his debut as Nighting – he was a full-time Titan then! And the thing is, even when he later settled in Blüdhaven he was still going to New York after the team reformed (Titans 1999). And then in Outsiders (2003) it's where his team was based again. And then, after Blüdhaven was nuked, he fully moved there as a solo hero (Nightwing 1996).

So we have a superhero that is tightly connected to Gotham and who works there a lot, who created this identity in New York and was based there for a significant amount of time, but who also claimed Blüdhaven as his city.

What I'm saying is, I think citizens of those three cities should beef more about who gets to claim that Nightwing is their city's hero lmao

// Heavy is the Burden //

“I knew I would never see him as an old man. No, he’d leave us in a box, with jet black hair, and the only lines on his face would ones brought on by injury. You knew it wouldn’t end well. Despite all the training. All the brilliance. All the strength…Under it all there was just flesh, blood and bone. And a man who never feared death. You know as well as I do he was frightened by a great many things, but his own mortality barely made the top hundred list with him. I just…I…I just wasn’t ready to lose him.”

this was inspired by this “paprika” art that’s been an active redraw trend.

the original artist has been asking for credit, and asking that people don’t copy/trace/repost their art. they’ve recently said taking inspiration is okay! but credit where credit is due
