I crave for not-too-bad Dad!Mori AU fics.
Like, I really love the concept, when he treats Dazai like his own son. He still kills Oda for profit and does lots of other questionable things, but he loves Osamu nevertheless.
Double points when Dazai is his biological son, I ïŒŹïŒŻïŒ¶ïŒ„ that AU.
I need more Dad!Mori fics đ€đœ
I'm allergic to happiness
Iâm sorry thereâs absolutely no way anyone knows 100% of what Dick has done or where heâs been. And I donât mean like minor secrets that everyone has. There is not a single person who doesnât have significant chunks of the timeline where they physically cannot know what Dick was doing or where heâs was at in the most abstract of terms.
Heâs got a decade of early Batman lore that neither of them really talk about, heâs been the leader of at least three different formations of the Titans with completely different rosters, with more minor shakeups in between, heâs done the Outsiders bit, he was even on the Justice League for a while with ANOTHER completely different roster than his normal circulation of people, and heâs been solo for extended periods of time in three major cities depending on what we consider not retconned. New York, Chicago, and BlĂŒdhaven have all been his home at various times with or without a hero team, and Dick is supremely isolated throughout most of these runs.
Thatâs not even getting started on Spyral, which literally NOBODY could know about in its totality because communication between Dick and Bruce cut out along the way, and while it was later reinstated with Red Robin, it was clear that this communication was more of an âare you alive/do you need acute helpâ type thing.
Nobody fucking knows all of the Dick Lore.
this could lead to so many funnies of Dick dropping random lore because he genuinely forgets who was three for it and who wasn't with such a changing roaster of people.
also, just, Dick knowing things he probably shouldn't or no one knows how he does know. like, Dick points at that the bad guy of the week could be watching from that building over there with a sniper lense and people asking how in the world Dick would know that he's just like, "Slade taught me." and then never brings it up again.
just. dad lore but so much worse because not even dad, Bruce, knows all the shit Dick has gotten up to.
Dad Lore but itâs Dick Lore is actually such a funny concept. Because just like Dad Lore requires the most horrifying shit youâve ever heard to be delivered with complete nonchalance, Dick would do that too.
Like, oh, you forgot to bring your water bottle to the beach? Itâs almost kinda like when Dick spent 10 days stranded in the desert carrying a baby in what he believed was a mutual funeral march as his allies collapsed around him.
Uncomfortable TV show scene that makes you cringe? Kind of like when Bruce dragged an amnesiac Dick kicking and screaming to the cave to watch himself get shot in an effort to restart his memory.
Itâs hot as hell outside? Itâs not that bad â Dicks been to hell. Many, many times. He actually fought Satan himself before he could vote. Heâs also gone to heaven, too, but that was a different theologyâs heaven so he doesnât know if that counts.
Feeling a little lost about who you are? Itâs okay. Dick was once mind controlled by both the Court of Owls and the Joker only about a day apart, with at least two sets of complete memories in his brain the whole time. He gets it. Itâs tough sometimes.
Rent is right and you donât know what youâre going to do? Well, Dick slept under a fire escape with nothing but a bundle of newspapers for an unknown period of time after Blockbuster blew up his apartment, and it actually wasnât that bad. Or maybe he was just numb from the multiple infections he got from stitching up lacerations without cleaning equipment on said fire escape. Who knows.
Thereâs also the more innocuous stuff, like the fact that Dick was actually a museum curator for a time, and fully capable of doing that job. Dude is heavily educated in history. Or the fact that he calls into true crime television shows to solve decades-old cold cases on the couch when heâs sick. Like, I cannot fathom Dick trying to describe his time with the Omega Men while in space or anything of that caliber.
(4+1) 4 times Grayson has almost died and one time he actually didđŁïž
This looked cooler in my head ngl, and you can tell I lost motivation time to time.
All of these moments are canon but slightly made more dramatic:
Forever evil #1
Nightwing (2016) #40
Grayson #5
Nightwing (2016) #25
Forever evil #6
I literally can't take it anymore. I need to get this out of my system. This is a hate-rant about why almost every single thing Tom Taylor has written is wrong.
First and foremost is the bimbofication of Dick Grayson. Tom Taylor loves to write him like this idiot who doesn't think at all. Being cheerful does not mean being dumb.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #79
"You seem unusually contemplative"? All Dick does is contemplate!
Nightwing (1996) Issue #3
His mind is always running!
Nightwing (2011) Issue #13
Nightwing (2016) Issue #38
I just picked a random issue from all of these comics and in every single one of these, Dick's planning, thinking, and strategising constantly.
Tom Taylor literally treats him like he's stupid or something.
Also the degradation of his abilities
Nightwing (2016) Issue #79
A vigilante for 20 years. Who has faced assassins, hitmen, psychos, surprise attacks, metas, and you're telling me he didn't know that a untrained kid snuck up and stole from him?
He forgot who he was, he didn't forget where he lived! Even when he was Ric Grayson, Dick had procedural memory. His battle instincts stayed with him.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #52
"Then...I didn't even know what I was doing. I took him down--took him apart in seconds."
This man is a vigilante machine when he was amnesic. Why the heck would Dick ever let his guard down?
His robin reference
Nightwing (2016) Issue #92
Even Bruce in Batman: Hush has said it-Dick was the best. His skills were the best of anyone he's witnessed which is one of the reasons why Bruce let him be Robin in the first place.
This scene is so wrong that there's a robin scene that came out before this in direct opposition of this Tom Taylor Shitshow.
Robin & Batman Issue #1
This was actually pre-robin. Bruce had him do a solo-trial run to see his skill before he made him Robin and this was the result. Compare that to Tom Taylor's scene and the result is humiliating. For Taylor.
Tom Taylor's version of trying to show that Dick loves the people comes off as him hating crime-fighting. RIP the whole Robin firing drama and Nightwing birth i guess.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #79
"We could have avoided all of this if we'd just stayed in and eaten kibble."
Nightwing (1996) Issue #3
Dick would rather die than stop crime-fighting. After Blockbuster's first attempt, his life was hanging on by a thread and he still continued crime fighting.
Nightwing (1996) Issue #91
After Blockbuster blew up his apartment, this is the single-minded determination Dick had to continue crime-fighting. This is him at one of the worst lows of his life but he refused to give up but now? He has everything and Dick wants to ignore the murder of a child to stay inside and eat kibble which - what the heck? I know he's seen as a happy character but him finding dog-food desirable is too far!
Also the idiocy of which Tom Taylor had Barbara calling the cops in Bludhaven for a stolen wallet. Newsflash! This isn't her first rodeo here.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #81
vs
Nightwing (2016) Issue #24
Nightwing (2011) Issue #23
Given how Dick's easily defeated enhanced metas and "very good" fighters, him falling down the stairs is a little to absolutely impossible to believe.
Another thing I love about Dick that Tom Taylor deciminates is his grace. Dick is the most graceful person in DC. His balance easily matches Selina's enhanced cat powers.
But yet. You have.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #83
Nightwing (2011) Issue #23
yeah. okay.
Taylor's motorbike scenes of Dick make me so mad. The boy is a pro at crazy. It's one of his best traits because he does the wildest stunts and he pulls it off.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #93
Nightwing (1996) Issue #86
He lands on his feet. He grabbed a villain mid-air, crashed into a window, and was perfectly fine. Actually no, he's not fine because he's worried about his bike's paint job.
Nightwing (2011) Issue #24
He just sailed over a whole crowd of people and started kicking butt like what he just did wasn't extraordinary - which for him is just another tuesday.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #95
yeah, tell 'er Dick.
He doesn't need someone to hold his bike.
One of the worst things in Taylor's run is how Blockbuster went down. It suddenly reminded me of Selina's stupid ideology which is why I think I got so ticked off.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #96
Blockbusters' thugs loyalty to him isn't a make it or break it deal. He's one of strongest criminal organisations and the knowledge that he owns one of the worst prisons that he could easily put his underlings into would've instilled fear into his thugs, not freedom. Furthermore Blockbuster takes good care of his people that don't piss him off. He teamed up with Nightwing in the scarecrow era in Nightwing (2016) because someone was messing with his people. He's extremely intelligent and superstrong, and he's not just going to be brought down by the knowledge that he owns a prison. It's Bludhaven. If he didn't, then there would be something suspicious given that he runs the city. It's the way Taylor dumbs down Bludhaven's villains that gets to me. Imagine him writing Batman (2016). It's like saying, "yeah the Joker was just a little misguided but he found the right way again after a stern talking to by Batman."
Nightwing is a big name.
When Dick first came to Bludhaven, one of the police officers was like we don't want your crazy here or something. Also Bludhaven loves Nightwing. They want him.
So why is everyone pretending like they don't know who he is?
Nightwing (2016) Issue #90
The police, the citizens, the villains-all of them. Dick fought Brutale and beat the crap out of him way back in 1996 comic. He's a Bludhaven regular. Just because Dick forgot who he was doesn't mean anyone else forgot him. Amnesia doesn't work that way.
Nightwing (2016) Issue #54
A whole team of Nightwings were formed during Dick's amnesic period because of how badly he was needed and missed. It's almost like the Tom Taylor run is set in an alternate universe.
I ran out of image space but what the absolute fiddlesticks is up with Dick being scared to jump. It better be a manipulation tactic but at this point I think Tom Taylor doesn't even know that Dick is manipulative.
It's literally impossible to read bat fanfiction because it's all based off those ridiculous fanon tropes that spread like crazy and people take as fucking biblical!!!!! Dick was never a jerk to Jason when he was Robin- they got along because Dick is mature as hell and in one retelling- Jason was a jerk to him!! And when he came back as Red Hood he had literally not a single damn reason to treat Dick like shit! Not a damn one! But he did, didn't he? Cause he's the fucking asshole! How dare you make Dick grovel towards that bastard! Dick has only ever tried to help him! Reached out during his Batman run, over and over! Also- Dick never put Jason in Arkham with Joker just a few cells down???? What the fuck! The Joker and all those other fuckers had been broken out of Arkham by Black Mask already for like the whole run??? Jason went to Arkham after losing to Dick, and Gordon put him in there because One he fucking deserved it, Two the literal circumstances?? And at that point!! Arkham was fucking rehabilitated itself!! By Dick!!! Because Bruce had him go undercover there for real, and Dick was actually tortured there before he got out!! So Dick put in the work to get that shit in order to actually help people!!
Dick never chose Damian over Tim- Tim refused to engage with him over his grief, shut him out, and left of his own devices! He never told Dick his suspicions on why Bruce was alive, never! And Tim is not the one to bring Bruce back either, there's a whole team at that point! Dick learns Bruce is alive through tossing his 'dead' body into a pit and the body comes to life as a zombie. Tim didn't tell him shit! Tim is also not a little crybaby- Damian cutting his line was a fucking blip on the page, he was momentarily shocked, that was it! He put Damian on his Hit List, which is why Damian cut his line. And his first attempt at "murder" is just pushing Tim off the dinosaur statue in the cave, he didn't go all assassin on him! Also Dick wasn't even there the first incident and wasn't told about the second incident. Alfred is the one who gave Damian Robin and Dick accepted him because he saw that Damian needed help! He needed guidance! He didn't fucking fire Tim the way Bruce fired him, and fuck all of you for thinking that Tim or Jason or fucking anyone has more right over Robin than Dick Fucking Grayson! He tried to promote Tim and Tim walked off. How dare yall make Dick fucking grovel towards that bastard!!!
Jason did try to kill all three of them!! Why does everyone just gloss over that like what the fuck??? Why does he get a pass for every shitty thing he's done??? "Bad writing" stfu this is the same dude that without hesitation kills random criminals, people who deal drugs, do you know how many random ass people deal drugs??? Jason doesn't give a single shit about being his own type of hero or saving Gotham his own way, nor do the people think of him as their savior!! Are you people fucking delusional?? I saw a post that said citizens would trust Jason over CASS and I cannot Believe the hallucinations yall are seeing???
It is literally downright impossible to find fics about Dick or Damian or Cass or fucking any of them that doesn't include these literal bullshit fanon takes!!! It's impossible!!! This fandom sucks!!!! You don't even need to go buy the comics, all these popular takes have been debunked right here on tumblr!!!! Also Dick can do literally everything!! He's hypercompetent as hell, die mad about it!! Jason doesn't like Wonder Woman???? Where the fuck did that come from??? Wayne Family Adventures is not real!!! Those people could not BE more out of character!!! Look at Bruce for crying out loud!!! Yall know that man ain't act like that!
Edit: leaving this here in case anyone wonders what my hot take is towards this question I was asked: "have you considered tho, that fanon is more fun..."
Well of course fanon is more fun if you're a fan of Jason or Tim. Fanon actively caters towards those two pasty white boys. Fanon actively shits on Dick and Damian though. And for Dick? He literally never did that shit! It is all made up! It's literal character assassination?? But by the fans?? And for Damian? He was 10!!! He grew up as an assassin! He was actively trying to grow with Dick's help! How can yall see him as the bad guy?? And not the literal bad guy, (Jason), and the 17 teen year old who literally fought him back btw, (Tim), like old boy did not act victimized the way you people portray. And Jesus for Cass? Cass is just a prop in fanon. So what exactly about this should be fun to me? Like seriously.
#look comics are massive and canon is a mess and everyone is entitled to enjoy with what they enjoy#buuuuuuuuuuuutâŠ#like if you prefer fanon then by all means you do you#but so much of it is taken as gospel like itâs canon which it just simply is not#I think the real takeaway from this is the whole âfanon is great if youâre a fan of Jason or Timâ â mostly Jason letâs be real#but what gets me is how those people who love fanon Jason are basically just turning him into Dick#the mature sensible capable older brother who is everyoneâs favourite and will always help out#but because heâs still Jason will be a bit abrasive about it#and has a tragic backstory so heâs extra woobie#as if the entire batfam isnât defined by their individual tragic backstories!#but itâs just really annoying how often people take the bad boy characters who have done legitimately horrific things#and pretend like that never happened and itâs actually everyone elseâs fault#so that they can headcanon that person to be basically identical to the good guy they hate or begrudge for being perfect and boring#but the bad boy isnât boring cos heâs a âšbad boyâš still so heâs âšsexyâš#I have nothing against liking fanon over canon â I just know then not to engage with that person/fic/content#but itâs how pervasive fanon has become to point where itâs now genuinely believed to be canon and people get pissy when told thatâs wrong#âOooh Wayne Family Adventures is fluffy fun what does it matter??â#it matters because itâs creating a fandom thatâs increasingly hostile towards certain characters for all the wrong reasons#because it insists on perpetuating a shitty fanon version of those characters cos it gets lapped up by people not fans of those characters#and now itâs invading ACTUAL comics because dick being a shitty brother and a himbo airhead who only cares about his appearance#is enjoyable to people who are used to that fanon version no matter how wrong it is#for a character that has a massive rich complex pretty-consistent 60+ year history of characterisation!!!#I donât necessarily agree with how hard this goes on Jason but none of it is incorrect and I get where the resentment comes from (tags via the @theflatman)
Idk why fandom decided that Tim was the coffee addict insomniac in the family when this is a legit quote from Nightwing (1996)
âAnyone who says there arenât enough hours in a day arenât using all 24â
Throughout almost the entirety of this run, heâs running on nothing but caffeine and justice.
Furthermore idk why some people in the fandom decided that Dick was the mentally stable one either because heâs pretty insane throughout this run. And man does he get put through the wringer, Blockbuster essentially psychologically tortured him throughout a period of weeks and pretty much destroyed his life.
Absolutely nobody gets how much Dan Mora's design of robin!Dick Grayson means to me.
Likeâ???
This saved my life.
I usually don't talk too much about it cuz it's kinda an awful trope to be honest, but, I was seeing this so much lately, and I just can't with this-
The amount of people who think Dick has had many partners and is a playboy when many of the women (and some men) they use as examples are women who have kissed or touched him WITHOUT his consent is... It's horrible.
I don't know why people think it's normal or a "reward" that so many people have crossed Dick's boundaries just because they tend to portray these people as visually attractive.
Today I just saw a compilation of this kind of situations, and there were 35 photos, and many more were missing. Each image was more uncomfortable than the last.
TW: I'll post some of the comic panels on this topic, they get progressively more uncomfortable, it's nothing that explicit, but still.
Bruce truly hates magic with every pump and beat of his heart.
What kinda curse is Slang, anyway?
âThis is the best day of my life.â
âBro really thought he ate with that.â Bruce physically feels a full body shiver, charged with nausea and cringe. âThis is level 10 cringe. Canât have shit in Gotham.â
Dick is his earth bound angel, but he laughs like a demon at him, holding onto Jason for support, pledging his eternal loyalty to Zatana and her pettiness.
â
âHey, old bat, hook me up with an adrenaline shot.â
What he wants to say is Jay, do not try and fight with 6 bullets in your stomach.
What comes out instead, through Bruceâs grit teeth and intense, fierce glaring, âNot you trying to go back to your corpse era. See how I only took 2 shots? Very demure. Very mindful.â
Jason passes out from blood loss, but mostly laughter.
â
âChat, is this real?â
Stephanie barely bites back a full belly cackle. âI think he just asked us if we copied.â
âI wish I was Jason, 15.â
â
âThis is not a slay environment. Killing is flop behavior.â He keeps his eyes shut and buries his face in his hands. Trying to convince Damian not to stab someone doesnât seem to work.
Damian gives him a pat like heâs a pitiful cat. âIâll only stab the non lethal areas.â
âGod, I wish that were me.â
Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
Dick was 100% the worst kid Bruce had to deal with, but he turned out such a well adjusted adult (relatively) that no one believes Bruce when he tries to explain the absolutely unholy terror that was pre-teen Dick Grayson.
Random sketches at 4 AM
My anatomy and proportions are bad af
And I smudged the textâŠ. It was supposed to be ăăłă»ăłăč
P.S.: I haven't drawn for 6 months
Fanon Dick Grayson: *the sweetest, kindest Robin; ray of sunshine, brighter than the sun itself; won't damage a fly (or at least not too much); the "mother" of the family; can't stand up for himself*
Canon Dick Grayson: *kills Joker; is not affected by fear toxin; goes feral, when his family or friends are in danger, to the point that he fights with all criminals he can find like a one-man infantry (with a little to no sleep on the fire escape under newspapers); will hurt his close ones and isolate himself if it means, that villains leave them alone*
very tired of the âDick Grayson is mostly a pretty boy with bad puns, golden retriever vibesâ trope. Give me German Shepherd Dick. Give me the âconsummate performerâ Dick. The one all, brilliance, bloody smiles and showmanship, the one with razor sharp wit and charm made weapon. Dick who seamlessly switches between a million personas. The one who doesnât know what to do when the showâs over. Give me the Dick no one wants to be on the wrong side of because Nightwing might not start battles, but he finishes them. The only one whose threats the entire Batfam (including Bruce) takes seriously. The one fear toxins canât affect because heâs been to hell and back.
The Dick who unlike Jason doesnât even mention how much heâs been fucked up and survived. The one the Joker knew he couldnât break.
I screwed around on a fake tweet maker for far, far too long to make this stupid post.
That definitely happened. You canât convince me otherwise
