👋 it's @theguybehindthechair with a post-spyral fix it blog lmao
get READY for the insane yap fest of how I'm fixing Dick Grayson and his relationships after the Spyral arc because his writers fucked it up (imo)
i don't like how they made Babs Batgirl - so she'll be oracle. Batgirl I think should be Steph or Cass in this, but they're not in Grayson so that's js my opinion lol
Following w Babs, Dick doesn't fully trust her anymore, esp with his feelings/choices, after she ignored everything he said about Bruce's Spyral plan - Dick had said no to Bruce, who forced him to do it anyway, but all she heard was that Dick would do whatever Bruce told him to
Dick also doesn't fully trust Bruce - he flinches when Bruce raises a hand or his voice. Dick did die. His heart stopped. And Bruce js beat the shit out of him immediately after to make Dick join Spyral. That trust can't be made back, and Dick knows it'll take a while to even see Bruce as family again
He's not in Bludhaven OR Gotham. He's international - travelling like a circus would
He's broken off from the Parliament of Owls - taking them down from the inside. People don't know Dick Grayson, even other heroes, because of what happened at the end of Grayson (only the Bats, Helena, and Midnighter know who Dick is, and that he's Nightwing)
Him and Midnighter are "nemesisters" (literally what M calls them) - friends with some moral differences
Dick doesn't shy away from using a gun, but he doesn't prefer to use them
He is slightly distanced from Jason and Tim, who had horrible reactions to him faking his death (Jason is literally so hypocritical in that bro) - he does trust them with his life in a battle, but he doesn't trust them in any other way. They're building that trust back.
He and Damian are THE brothers - Dick was his Batman and they go to the arcade together a lot
I'm thinking that Dick is actively trying to make it up to Duke, and he knows what he did during Robin War wasn't the right move - that he shouldn't have left Duke and the Robins in the hands of the police. Duke also knows that it was the only thing Dick *could* do, and he generally accepts that Dick is trying his best. they aren't brothers. they are, however, allies and both can trust the other with almost anything. Emphasis on almost.
Dick and Cass are also pretty close. Cass relies on Babs and Bruce, but she's loyal to Batman the same way Dick is -- the mission is what matters most. they both have similar goals, in helping people the same way Bruce helped them in their beginnings. They have their gaps, as Dick can't bring himself to talk to Babs or Bruce much yet (outside of being heroes) - Cass understands, and lets him keep his space.
there. done. 😄
TL;DR: Doesn't like/trust Babs & Bruce; slightly distanced from Jason, Tim, Cass; Damian is his baby brother; he and Duke are like amicable cousins-ish
Shipping wise - pls talk to me anywhere OOC if you wanna write shippy stuff with my Dick Grayson, I won't entertain anything that's forced. I also won't have dickbabs on here for obvious reasons, and I also don't particularly want dickkori either. IT'S STUPID I HAVE TO SAY THIS, BUT NO BATCEST. ZERO. NONE. any other ships are relatively welcome, if I see chemistry between them (including poly ships like I'll accept starbirdflash and oc x cc ships)
