My new favorite thing about Nightwing is that he'll be looking at henchmen saying "Woah Lady's is that what you call a dance?" While his narration right above him will be like:
"I will never be good enough"

My new favorite thing about Nightwing is that he'll be looking at henchmen saying "Woah Lady's is that what you call a dance?" While his narration right above him will be like:
"I will never be good enough"
Jason: I'm not ‘talking to myself.’ It’s called a soliloquy, asshole.
Dick: It’s only a soliloquy if it’s in verse. Otherwise it’s just a mental breakdown.
"Dick was a terror of a child" "Dick was Bruce's least favorite child to raise" my love there are much easier ways to say that you do not like loud children than projecting it onto Bruce Wayne, who loved raising Dick Grayson's rambunctious ass so much that he gave 3 children a lifelong inferiority complex about it
Bat-mite or some other weirdo: I can change him back to Robin and keep him that way forever
Bruce (infinitesimal hesitation): No.
Batfamily, Justice League, everyone (scoffing): of course 'no' what a dumb thing to ask
Dick, who knows Bruce better than anyone alive:
Jason: *hugs Dick and walks away*
Bruce: Now you see, Dick, you're too hard on him. I mean, he can be so sweet. I just want us to be a family.
Dick: I know, Bruce, I know.
Dick:
Dick: He just stole my wallet.
i think about that period of time where dick had to step up and be damians mentor but didnt actually want to like twice a day
he fought a lot for a kid he had to learn to love the hard way
so many different potential layers to parse:
Dick as the grieving young man who white-knuckles his way through being responsible for a traumatized kid who's actively making his life worse
Dick as the precariously balanced new family head who sees a glimmer of something worth loving in this kid that maybe no one else sees yet and has to hold on until he can dig it out
Dick who already has a brother he loves but has to temporarily set aside because in this triage one is more in danger and a danger than the other
Dick who is grieving and losing and losing (not just Bruce but his identity as Nightwing, his freedom, his independence, and other canonical deaths around this time) but who still sees this lost kid and accepts and embraces the responsibility for him, no matter how challenging it is
bitches hate me for my earnest whimsy and my pathological degree of avoidant behavior

Batman and Robin: Year One #12
Thinking about how Bruce is the night, and Dick is the dawn that breaks through him. He’s not opposite to Bruce; he’s the continuation of him, the light that follows. Bruce taught Dick how to move through the dark, and Dick reminded him that the night doesn't last forever.

''I can multitask,'' Jason teased, pointedly not stopping his leering - and yes, he could admit that he was leering - as he shifted back on the sparring mat.
Getting ready for round three.
With the both of them already wet with sweat, and flushed, high on the cheeks.
They were meeting each other, blow for blow, and Jason loved it.
"Oh, can you now?"
A brow raised,
Feet placed,
A very pointed look.
It was all part of the game between them. For as long as he and Jason had been involved, their sparring matches followed a very similar pattern. They always started serious, testing each other's skills and point out any weakness but-
"Prove it."
They would inevitably fall back into the flirting and teasing.
I can never stop thinking about The Neighborhood (Nightwing (1996) #10). It lives rent-free in my mind. Like, here's a list of things that appear/happen in Dick's nightmare:
He's married to Donna
They have two kids
Donna is cheating on him with Roy
Dick works an office job
Dick's boss is the Joker
Bruce works at the same company as him but much higher up
Bruce & Selina are married
They also live next door to Dick & Donna
Poison Ivy and the Penguin are married and also live nearby
Jason is a skeleton and the paperboy and he goes by JT
Jean-Paul Valley takes Bruce's place above Dick when Bruce gets promoted
Tim also works there and gets mad at Dick for screwing up the budget
Bruce throws Dick's son out a window & the kid falls to his death
Like... Dick, buddy, there's a lot to unpack there. have you considered talking to someone about any of that. I think you probably should but I know you're not going to.
so what im hearing is Dick's afraid of
Amatonormativity
Parenthood
Infidelity
Office Jobs
The Joker? Capitalism?
Bruce being the boss of him
Bruce committing
Bruce living too close to him.
Heterosexual Poison Ivy
I'm not even gonna try to unpack that
Being replaced by Jean Paul-Valley
Messing up budgets? Messing up period?
Bruce? Falling? Child death? All three?
Random Person: excuse me, can you jump my car
Dick: *tying his shoes* probably how tall is it
Person: no I meant-
Dick: *handing over his phone* take a video, this is going to be awesome
Bruce Wayne, the type of parent to get overstimulated and lock himself in the bathroom, pantry, office, etc. Dick Grayson, the type of child to wiggle his fingers under the door, and tell Bruce to let him in
The one who makes her cry vs. the one who comforts her.

I don't think I've seen anyone mention this but, when you sleep a total of fifteen hours with a fever then you sort of lose your balance after such a long time. Imagine Whumpee is finally out of their fever but when they try to get up, their knees just buckle.
Bruce: Dick and Tim don’t borrow as much money from me.
Jason: Yeah, because they have their own creepy old men who are obsessed with them to get money from.
Bruce: Wait, what?
Jason: Yeah. Dickie leaches off Slade's Netflix account and Ra's is always sending Tim new suits to wear.
Bruce: That's concerning. Well I'm glad to know you don't take any money from creepy old men.
Jason: Well, my personal piggy bank isn't a creepy but he is old and kinda obsessed. He has one of my old outfits in a display case and everything.
Bruce: Are you talking about me?
Jason: Thanks for the cash.
Headcanon: Bruce is a HUGE supporter of the phrase “Do as I say, not as I do.”
He used it a lot on Dick, which led to a lot of arguments–
“I can do that too!”
“What? No, Dick, you’re eight, you can’t.”
“But you do it!”
“Do as I say, not as I do.”
And also used it on Jason (or rather, used it before Jason could argue)–
“Look, Pops, you did–”
“For the love of–not again–Jay, do as I say, not as I do, okay?”
He didn’t use it much with Tim, the only exceptions being when he asserted his seniority.
“No, Tim, you can’t.”
“I’m preeetttyyy sure I can, actually. Besides, you do it, so–”
“NO.”
“Huh?”
“Just…just do as I say, not as I do, got it?”
It…didn’t really work with Cassandra…
“I know you think you know, but listen, you need to do as I say, not as I do–aaaaand she’s gone.”
Damian hates the phrase with a PASSION.
“I’ll do it.”
“No, you won’t, you’re not allowed. Permission denied.”
“But you did it!”
“Do as I say, not as I do, let’s go.”
Dick commiserates until one time Damian is fighting him on something and he just snaps, “Do as I SAY, not as I DO, damnit!”
Dick stops suddenly as the words leave his mouth. He is HORRIFIED.
“Oh my god,” he moans, covering his face. “I’m becoming Bruce. I’M BECOMING BRUCE.”
“What’s wrong with–”
“I OPENED MY MOUTH AND BRUCE CAME OUT”
“It’s really not that big of deal–”
“Really? Really?! Because I don’t think you understand the horror of SAYING ONE THING BUT MEANING YOUR FATHER!”
Yeah but imagine the first time Jason does a Bruce.
