AU Tim Drake ☺️❤️💋
My favorite thing I’ve seen is AUs where characters are trans and nothing changes and nobody knows until they accidentally have to lore dump and they’re fine with it bc they lowkey assume these people close to them know they’re trans and everyone’s like??????? HUH? Since when
Anyway support my trans!Dick Grayson headcanons bc fuck you i can
- Dick told his parents he was a boy at like age 3 and they were like… fuck it sure.. we’ll pick you a new name
-John Grayson then despairs bc his brother then gleefully informs him that John promised to name their first boy after him bc he lost a bet. Mary thinks it’s too funny to not go along with
-3 Yro Dick has a lisp and can’t pronounce his own name and finds out Dick is a nickname and proceeds to immediately go by it and yell at anyone who doesn’t use his new name
- Kid has no documents and grew up in a circus so when he ends up in Gotham. There are literally no issues at all.
- Bruce adopts him as Richard John Grayson and is none the wiser about anything
-Alfred is the first one to find out when at 11 Dick freaks out and thinks he’s hemorrhaging in the bathroom bc he’s bleeding. Cue realization moment! Followed by many many many awkward questions and Alfred being awesome assumes his grandson is stealth and maybe doesn’t want anyone including Bruce to know so he takes over every and Dick gets the medications he needs with no issue
- second person to realize is Roy bc they’re messing around btw (Dick did not inform him of this before, Roy is 100% Cool with it and goes… damn okay…anyway bc he’s chill like that)
-now about 700 new bats have happened and Dick is nightwing and literally the only people who know anything at all are his current/previous partners and Alfred
And shenanigans ensue with Jason catches Dick injecting something…while he has no injuries… no nothing
Now Jason freaks ofc bc??? DICK WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Listen he might hate all of them but he is VERY MUCH not okay losing another relative to addiction wtf he’s not having a panic attack fuck you
Anyway
Dick just goes “Jason calm down it’s just my t-shot” and Jason who definitely didn’t jump to conclusions bc he’s sleep deprived and has a 16 hour run in with fear toxin is like
“What the fuck is that?? Is that something new on the street what’s happening dick? Are you doing untested Shit?
And Dick who has had to DEAL with Jason during 16 hours of fear toxin induced terror, as well as the rest of the family and would really like to go chill days in front of many of his family members: testosterone Jason. Bc I’m trans
To which everyone is confused
Dick is too tired to realize this and goes the fuck to bed
Bruce then panics bc “wait what if he wasn’t that accepting when Dick was younger and that’s why Dick didn’t ever come out? What did he do that made his son feel like he couldn’t talk to Bruce about it”
Tim is annoyed bc he is supposed to know things and now he owes Bernard money bc they had an argument over which letter each batfam member corresponds to
This is based off that one supernatural fic where somehow Sam was oblivious to his brother being trans anyway
I think Grayson would make an incredibly good 10 ep TV series but only if they leaned into making it extremely trippy. use Spyral's hypnos technology to mess with the viewer and create a 'who is who' mystery. it's only revealed that Agent 37 is Dick Grayson episode 3 and all of a sudden you're like "why is 37 talking to Bruce Wayne? is Batman in this universe?" 50/50 campy spy action and psychological thriller, culminating in a narrative arc about how Dick is using his funny persona to cope with extreme trauma. themes of perception and persona. aesthetically, it would draw on 70s/80s spy chic, flamboyant colors, music videos. lots of eye candy objectification of Grayson but then make it about his sexual trauma in the finale. strong first person narration where Grayson tells you he's everyone, he's no one, he's whoever you want him to be.

HOW TF CAN SOMEONE BE THIS ATTRACTIVE LIKE ok we get it you are the biggest pretty babygirl yeah we know it stop, it starts making me mad
HEYYYYYY JESS!! WHAT’S UR FAVORITE HUGH DANCY PICTURE??!?!
HEYYYYY
And great question I HAVE THREE
This man is so pretty 😭
DC had made many questionable choices regarding the Bats but also a lot of the time said choices are very funny. Christian priest Father Todd and vampire Nightwing who crushed Tim’s head like an overripe apple I do think of you often
Theatre kid in every universe
Neil Gaiman's favorite trope
OMG YEAH, at first they didn't thought a lot abt it. It was like "oh, lmao I guess he heard it from someone else" or "huh, I don't remember I ever told him that.. Welp, *ignores it*" but at some point: or they don't really care or they start finding it really odd.
Even more when he mixes something from the fanon, and they're so confused that they start putting more attention to things he shouldn't know. I think Tim and Damian would be the most confused and, idk, upset? Frustrated? ones. Because how the fuck does he know something they never told him. And I don't think Jason's even really conscious about those things that he shouldn't know
Jason: ... somewhere I must've heard it. I don't know.
Tim:
Jason: I SAID I DON'T KNOW. *leaves*
