ooc!!!
My headcanons for Dick Grayson.
I think I should start from the beginning here, not from the middle and I'll try not to mix it.
As I said in my former post, which mostly was about the relationship between Bruce and Dick, we know that their relationship got worse when Dickie was 16-17, which frequently led him to run away from home and later cause him move out.
This was also not the best time for him so he rarely speaks about this part of his life. (Mentions about drugs, alcohol ye Y'all know. I just don't want to speak about it much).
When he was 22 he tried to fix the relationship between him and Bruce, seeing that Bruce also wanted to, but Dick still didn't fully forgive Bruce, leading to their relationship not being the best.
Moving on, here are the reasons why and how he acts. (Which is actually from the comics but I didn't read that much, I'm trying to tho). Dick is the kind of person who will drop everything he does and run to help, but he does try to assess the situation on the phone first to see if and where exactly he can help. Dick also tends to hide his injuries not wanting to alarm anyone or make them worry. If anyone notices he's injured he'll try to show that he's fine and that others don't need to waste their time trying to help him.
Usually his actions lead to him overwork himself, he hates leaving things undone, and finds himself wanting to hide behind documents and his mask to forget about his own problems. He will ask for help but only at his lowest or when he realizes that he can't do something on his own anymore. Honestly he is a tired man, he's working as a detective for the police AND goes on patrol as Nightwing. He always says that he's gonna be fine and that he will take care of himself, but after a few days he goes back to those sleepless nights, taking on more than he can handle to the point where he's physically ill. Let's be honest, he will always try to help even if he doesn't know what's he's dealing with.
Sometimes he acts like a stubborn child that doesn't want to do something, even if it's for his own good. I also wanted to mention the fact how he acts with others. There are some people that if they tell him to do something, he will without a question. There are also people that he will argue with, and people that he will argue with but eventually give up. I can't say with who.
Let's not forget about his physical condition. There is one thing that happened in the comics and I'm keeping it here, where he was shot in the head. That explains why is his memory so poor and why does he have frequent headaches. Also his knee problems, he needs to wear his knee brace but of course he doesn't want to.
Anyone who reads this, thank you. Have a good day/night/evening😘
