The funniest aspect of a child crime fighter is that sometimes they’re going to run into something that makes no sense because they don’t have the life experience. Because they’re nine.
Like Robin runs into a guy who works for The Penguin and the guy just throws his hands up like, “Don’t hit! I’m not an enforcer. I’m an accountant.”
Robin:
Robin, squaring up: I don’t know what that is.
Same aesthetic as starfire but with the Nightwing color palette

"Oh Bruce is a good dad if you think he's a bad dad you don't engage in canon"
YALL BE SO ASTRONOMICALLY FR.
like Bruce loves his weird collection of Bat themed children but ffs he is a C- at best.
Being a Bruce Wayne good dad truther is so hard when you love angst and also canon.
Bc I ignore bad canon
But the angst potential of RHAO? Of Tim’s 16th birthday? Of HOW HE SPOKE TO DAMIAN POST ALFRED? CAN I COME HOME BRUCE PLEASE? Dick and Bruce post Jays death “leave your keys with Alfred”
Yeah so so so so good I fear
So fun
Much pain
But also
I love Bruce so much and he loves his kids so so so much and so one part of me is ready to ignore it way I ignore nightwing cheating on Kori with babs, babs character during Devin Graysons run, Jason’s first costume and Tim’s cowl. By going MY BABY WOULD NEVER STOP TJE SLANDER
but also
It’s just
So good
I draw the line at Batman and Robin all star that shits just weird btw wtf was going on with Bruce that run??
Full on groomer allegations
I need someone to wrap Donna Troy in a blanket and surround her with everyone that loves her and allow her to fit into her skin and find a sense of peace in knowing who she is <3
I also think she gets to punch Bruce Wayne in the face
Someone draw nightwing with flat top angel fangs plz he’d be so pretty
He’s already like 80% vampire anyway plz
AND THIS IS WHY THE
“I need distance from you this is toxic” fics don’t work (I however love them plz send me some)
Because
They will try to murder each other, beat each other bloody, torture each other.
They’ll degrade each other publicly and ruin each others lives
Then they’ll go for a burger together
Bro every time Bruce fucks up Dick sneaks metal blocks into boxing gloves while switching between excitedly whistling and humming “the bat is going down the bat is going down, I smash his face in every place the bat is going down”
Jason stole dicks costume (nightwing this time) and murdered people in New York with it. Risking Dicks at the time only healthy relationship (Clark Kent) then stole back his Robin costume (scaly green short shorts and all) and went to beat to death the other Robin and write shit on the walls in blood
Everything Tim Drake has said to Stephanie brown would get any man punched, bound and publicly whipped. And the shit he said to dick During battle for the cowl??? he was 80% of the way through reanimating John Graysons corpse to tell dick he was disappointed in him throughout that whole arc. And everything that ever happened during the Red Robin run is not only added to shit that we apparently needed in the Geneva convention but assumed it would be common sense and people wouldn’t do it
Damian: tried to kill every
Single
One
Of
His
Siblings
And not only are all of them friendly to each other
Not only do they team up
No no they fucks hang out
Like willingly text each other and go ‘hey let’s get a burger’
I need to talk to people who like the same flavor of batfam dynamics as me. Dysfunctional but loving, maybe to the point the rest of the fandom gives us side eye. I'm talking platonic BD/SM, them overprotective over each other.
Those type of fics of the non con threats without anything actually happening.
Where do I find my people
young! Jason: Dude how do you deal with all the assholes at these fucking events. One dude just asked me how much Bruce pays me a night to 'keep quiet'
Barely 18 Dick Grayson: who asked you that?
y!Jay: I think his name was Mr. Devonfeild
DG: ahh okay *walks away*
Jay: wha? where are going??
DG who is sleeping off a drinking binge him a Roy had at titans tower and cannot be asked to deal with assholes rn: Oh im gonna fuck his wife
Jay: huh?
Ahhh I love when I see the DC fandom literally everywhere
Starfire: Nono the reason you’re not allowed children is because 1 of you is Robin, 2 of you have dark hair and blue eyes, 1 of you is a blonde girl and deathstroke famously has a type and it’s minors that fit those descriptions
Starfire: I can't let you kids out with Deathstroke on the streets, you're too young and this is too dangerous.
Superboy: Girl... We went to apokolips and fought the soldiers of darkseid.
Wonder Girl: We fight armies while time travel.
Robin: We literally traveled in the abyss, the path the deaths use.
Impulse: we fought against a magician with infinite power that literally altered the timeline once so we wouldn't exist.
Everyone: We can handle Deathstroke.
Starfire:... Cyborg?
Cyborg: I... I can't even argue with any of that.
Headcanon that bludhaven hates heroes with a flaming passion bc theyre just cops in tights but love Nightwing and therefore vehemently deny his hero status to anyone and everyone.
Like there is no official Nightwing merch bc he’s a criminal he’s committing a crime okay vigilante justice is in fact not legal and he’s not TECHNICALLY on the justice league and he’s NOT TECHNICALLY the leader of the titans anymore. But there are about 400 different Etsy stores that make hoodies, crop tops, joggers, sweats, sunglasses, bracelets, t shirts with nightwings logo or some art of him on them.
Like they love this guy and will get into beef with any Gotham national who tries to claim Nightwing is THEIR hero.
1) hes not a hero he’s a criminal fuck you
2) you have a hero and just bc he’s shit at his job and needs our guy (who is NOT a hero) to help him sometimes doesn’t MEAN SHIT
people are walking around with tiny v shaped blue tattoos or embroidered on clothing but again NOT A HERO BLUDHAVEN DOESNT DO HEROS
There are coffee shops with bad nightwing pun names nightbird, beanwing, nightwinging it and so on
Every third piece of graffiti is this man’s logo
Every sandwich place or fast food chain has a ‘secret menu item’ that’s not actually secret bc everyone orders it and it’s just one of their normal items dyed blue (sodas, desserts, burger buns, condiments so on) some places will sell wings fried in blue panko bread crumbs and call them them ‘nightwings’ ofc these are ALL off the menu you can’t see these items and if you try to order them out of the city you get weird looks.
Superman goes on tv and says Nightwing is one of his favorite hero’s and bludhaven riots. wtf nightwing is your favorite hero you fuckin poser
1) nightwing isn’t a hero he’s a criminal so back off
2) he’s ours you and your frou frou fancy city that hasn’t been nuked by a sentient pile of radiation can fuck RIGHT off
Naturally the only person in bludhaven who is unaware of this is Dick Grayson bc tbh this man is too busy to give a fuck about what his city thinks of him. They trust him to get shit done. Good that’s all he needs okay he has 22 reports he needs to log he’s busy.
Tim Drake professional nightwing fanboy however is fucking furious about this because.
A) dick was a GOTHAM hero FIRST and bludhaven can suck it
B) fuck you nightwing isn’t just a a hero he’s THE HERO and the BEST hero and don’t be rude bc you have a complex
C) all of the cool nightwing merch only ships around bludhaven so has to get it ordered there and it’s just a hassle and he’d pay double he swears just let him get it delivered to where he is please Everytime he stops by bludhaven he leaves with 10 new pieces of nightwing merch and bc he has so much. Damian doesn’t think he notices when some of his doubles mysteriously go missing. He does.
D) since they are anti hero they are firmly unhelpful whenever he or Steph show up bc a case has lead them to the city
The one plus side was watching Jason Todd having a mental breakdown bc apparently in bludhaven redhood counts as a hero and is therefore hated.
“Yous worked with the bat yous a hero thems the rules”
“I KILL PEOPLE”
“Yeah so do cops and people always call them heroes”
“Okay but I kill people to protect the general public I put down scum”
“Cops say they do that too”
“I- okay you know what I’m a hero fine okay. Why isn’t nightwing a hero”
“Vigilante justice is a crime”
“I’m documentably worse than a vigilante”
“But you have worked with the bat”
“For money yeah”
“See you even get paid, face it you’re a hero which means you suck”
“You realize Nightwing has worked with the bat right like way more than I have”
“Listen that ain’t his fault okay, the bats incompetent and so are the rest to you idiots. He’s a nice guy and a good neighbor don’t mean he’s a hero”
“I- what the fuck is in this cities water”
“I don’t fuckin know but it’s prolly better than whatever gothams got in its harbor”
“I- yeah you’re probably right”
I write bad Dick Grayson and TMA fanfiction on ao3 follow me @imtired_likerllytiredI literally keep creating and deleting accounts on this hellsite lurker since age 8
