Donna Troy cradling Dick Graysons face between her hands; I would die for you
Dick: I would die for you
Donna: I know hon, but it doesn’t mean the same thing coming from you
Dick, vaguely offended: hey!
Donna: Dickie baby, you’d die for a torn up piece or paper or something much less valuable like Bruce Wayne.
Donna: let’s face it, you dying for something/someone isn’t exactly a compliment, it means they’re breathing (optional)
Dick: …… I mean you’re not…. Wrong but i really don’t want to admit that
Donna now patting both sides of his face: dw I know you love me, even if you have a martyr complex
I refuse to become another goddamn mystery
Imagine Dick actually adopted Jason. Like that's so chaotic— especially when Jason comes back from the dead.
12 year old Jason: Hey, Dick? Since I'm adopted by you, does that mean you're my father?
18 year old Dick: ...I'm still too young to called dad so no, I'm just your legal guardian.
Jason: Okay, dad.
Dick, tearing up: Please no.
——————
Jason after resurrection as Red Hood: I am your son.
Dick dating Wally: Tf?????? How would I— JASON?
——————
Bruce: All of you are my sons.
Jason: Technically, I'm your grandson.
Damian and Tim: ?????? What.
Dick: Technically he's right. You've been a grandpa since I was 18.
Bruce: ...Fuck, I forgot about that.
Damian and Tim: WHAT THE FUCK?????
——————
Bruce and Jason arguing:
Bruce: You're grounded!
Jason: TF? You're not my dad, Dick is!
Dick: Please, for the last time, I'm not really your dad.
Jason's dramatic ass: GASPS?! I'M ADOPTED?!
Please Donna doesn’t even make the list she’s so far above literally everyone else in his life.
That’s his platonic soulmate
Bitches be like: Dick's favourite sibling is Damian, Dick's favourite sibling is Tim, Dick's favourite sibling is Cas. Meanwhile we all know that his favourite is Donna Troy

Listen it came to me in a dream don’t yell at me
New years approx 2 hours after midnight
The titans are at Donna’s apartment and all offensively drunk
Dick (most sober) : I’m not doing it
Roy (most drunk): DONT be a coward Grayson
Donna (2nd most drunk): YEAH put on the maid dress Grayson
Dick: THE MAID DRESS ISNT the problem its the fucking thong that goes with it
Wally(speedster metabolism is no match for Dick Grayson and high tech lab equipment more drunk than he’s ever been): oh come on didn’t you give me shit when we were teens for not being “open minded” I didn’t sit through a 5 hour HR presentation on toxic masculinity at 15 for you to back out now
Garth (got high instead, currently flying higher than the moon, out of earths orbit with about 4 pounds of food INFRONT of him): do it do it do it do it
Dick: 1) you know I have no shame around any of you, that is not the issue. I am telling you I. Will. Not. Fit
Donna: damn tbh I thought they put all the dick in your name
Donna: or your personality
Wally: *wheezing*
Dick: listen i will wear the maid dress im not a pussy, I’ll never back out of a dare. IF you let me wear my regular underwear
Roy: deal
Dick goes to Donna’s room to change
Donna: I could’ve sworn I bought the men’s one
Roy: you probably did
Donna: so was he being at bitch cuz if so he has to do the forfeit
Wally: we once dared dick to call slade Wilson daddy in front of Bruce and he did it the next day, you think that THIS is where he draws the line
Garth (has reached zen no thoughts head empty): might still be 2 small, both things can be true *holding index finger up on each and and joining them together in front of his face why crossing his eyes*
Donna in a whisper: is he really that big?
Roy immediately: yes
Donna: you answered that way too quickly
Wally: well we did share a locker room for like 2 decades
Donna: I’m sorry? Did you like compare?? Or something
Garth: noooooooo (honest)
Wally: …occasionally
Roy: idk what yall are on about I just fucked the guy
Donna: YOU DID WHAT???
Garth: ????????????????
Wally: HUH? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN????
Roy realizing this was when they were on the outsiders,very toxic with one another and on opposite paths of self destruction: Okay listen it was a weird time for us, Donna was dead and-
Donna: SO YOU FUCKED THE NEXT BLACK HAIRED BLUE EYED PERSON ON THE TEAM
Garth (still high): wait I was on that team? Why didn’t you fuck me? I have black hair and blue eyes
Wally patting his shoulder in a supportive manner: not enough daddy issues.
Garth: *nods understandingly* ahhhhh
Roy: AS I was saying, it was a weird time I had my whole thing with Cheshire, you were dead which means dick wanted to die more than usual. Anyway it happened I love him but let’s not do that again
Garth: but would you? Like without the toxic would you
Roy: Raw. Next question
Donna *did not need to know this about dick but also mildly impressed* curiosity is man’s greatest sin and as a feminist it’s her job to even that playing field even if it’s cursed knowledge:… so how big is he…
Roy doing the hand size thing you know the one: big
Donna: damnnnn
Garth (still very high has ascended to a 5th dimension can smell colors): the real reason oracle is in a wheelchair
Wally: *falls out of his chair*
Donna: GARTH
Roy: *burst out laughing*

Bruce:
Dick: I’m not mad
Bruce: you punched a hole through the concrete support beam Dick I think your ly-
Dick: SHUT UP FOR ONE SECOND
Bruce:
Dick: I’m not mad
Dick: but can you explain to me, your son -if that MEANS anything anymore- why the fuck
Dick: you thought it was okay to SHOOT MY BROTHER IN THE FACE
Bruce: it was necessary to discover his id-
Dick: STOP TALKING.
Bruce: you asked me to explai-
Dick: THATS BEFORE I REALIZED YOU WERE BEING FUCKING STUPID
Dick pinching the bridge of his nose: okay let me phrase it this way. Let’s say it wasn’t Jason behind the mask
Bruce: it was tho
Dick: let’s imagine an alternate reality where Jason doesn’t raise my blood pressure
Dick: and let’s say you shot this secret third person in the face, and it went through the helmet
Dick: and you ended up killing them
Bruce: I wouldn’t have I analyzed the makeup of the mask and extrapolated the amount of force required to shatter it vs go clean through it
Dick: yeah except that wasn’t your gun
Bruce: I knew the make
Dick: and I can count 60 rogues, mercs and assassins who match jays build and customize their weaponry in ways we can’t notice until they fire
Bruce: … I don’t see the issue here
Dick: you don’t see the issue in shooting my brother in the face with a fucking gun? To protect I don’t even know who?
Bruce: …
Dick: …… Bruce
Bruce: yes dick
Dick: don’t lowercase my name asshole, but you… wouldn’t right?
Bruce: wouldn’t what
Dick: no?… no that’s crazy? I’m being crazy (crazy I was crazy once) you wouldn’t help the joker in our damn cave. You wouldn’t BRING THE JOKER to our damn cave and get pissy that Jason was angry about that
Bruce:…
Dick: you’re the world’s greatest detective you couldn’t figure out somewhere else to take care of the PSYCHO?? Or better yet??? LET THE BASTARD DIE
Bruce: my job is to save people
Dick: unless it’s Jason apparently. No it’s fine if HE gets blown up.
Dick: also SINCE WHEN IS JOKER PEOPLE??? JASON IS BARELY A PERSON IN YOUR EYES?
Bruce: Nightwing you’re being emotional-
Dick: don’t try to switch personas with me asshole this is Bruce and Dick fighting over the fact that you seriously need to stop doing this shit to Jason before you drive him off a ledge
Bruce: Jason is fine
Dick: dude.. fine i defended you when you slit his throat bc my city was a pile of radioactive waste. Sure okay? Penguin dead? And you beating him into the ground I minded my damn business
Dick: the FUCKINF demon bat possession or whatever the fuck happened during Gotham war Tim pulled me off your ass and made sure I didn’t add your death to my conscience
Dick: don’t even play that THIS WAS A REASONABLE AND NORMAL PERSON THING BRUCE
SEE
This is where I get annoyed bc I love cracking jokes about dicks dating life
But this is how I 100% feel about it
Dick loves flirting, he’s a flirty guys I’m pretty sure he’s flirted with everyone from raptor to batwoman (before ID reveal)
Dick and his friends flirt with one another all the time
But like dick has has 3-4 very serious relationships and only 2 have been genuinely consistent throughout his 80 year tenure as a character
Tim went through that in a week
And I feel like people seem to equate dicks friendly flirty personality + being canonically very very good looking as sleeping around.
Now personally I live laugh love demisexual Grayson it’s my drug feed it to me
But if you want/headcanon him sleeping around fine live your life
But be SO FR OKAY the scenes where dick is explicitly like “what are you doing”
“I don’t like this”
“I feel uncomfortable”
Are very obviously not him cracking a joke. It’s just him being like a normal person who does not want people looking at him like a ribeye
-oh but dick slept with babs b4 his wedding to Kori. Okay and babs has been pregnant with Bruce’s child, and been married to Tim.
Dc writes out of character shit to keep the plot moving we been knew, literally everyone agrees it’s not in character for him and it’s never been in character for him
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.
In the photos you can see the @ of the account where I got the panels from.
There are many more (like Catalina or Liu panels), that are even more explicit situations, but I think this gets the point across.
I saw people trying to justify Dick being a playboy by saying that maybe he hypersexualizes himself in response to trauma (a real response, it can happen), but this would make more sense if the authors did it on purpose and with that intention, but that is not the case. They don't sexualize Dick's character to give depth to his trauma, they barely even talk about it AT ALL.
So that definitely doesn't excuse it, at least not as a justification from the authors, now if they use it as HC it makes more sense, but only thanks to the fans' interpretation. If it were entirely up to the authors, there is no reason for Dick to be sexualized, not beyond fanservice.
And I hate it.
It's very different to create a sexy character than to sexualize them to the point of objectification.
Au that follows Dick grayson as he accidentally and unknowingly prevents a bunch of people from becoming villains through very intentional kindness (or competence since they’re like oh hell no I am not having his ass come after me. Fuck. No)
Listen my simple rule for nightstar, Robstar, Dickori, Dickory etc
Is
Kory is objectively better looking
Dick is objectively prettier
(Kori can also pick Dick up like a couple of grapes but that’s secondary- (no it’s not))
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
