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
Op I have 0.23 dollars would u like them? To make this show? Please? I have never needed anything more
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.
Dick Grayson absolutely pulled off the mullet and the suit and we all know it stop lying to yourselves
I love Jason and dick being drinking buddies who love shit talking the rest of family but also
Sometimes
When I’m craving peak
I remember that their relationship is low key messyyyy
I mean from Jason’s side Dick is the ideal son who Bruce loves, Jason saw Bruce’s absolute grief when bludhaven was nuked as red hood. As Robin he was constantly and unfairly compared to Dick Grayson bc while Jason was great. He had a normal but sad ass life while being naturally gifted and brilliant, dick was training before he could crawl, Dick had never learned to stay still while also being naturally grifted and brilliant. Jason couldn’t do the things Dick could do at 12 bc dick had been training for 11 years by that point but neither he nor Bruce really gave himself that grace. Dick is proof of the concept of child heroes, while he is kinda like proof that children really shouldn’t be on the field. Dick became this well respected, important person. He got to grow from Robin whereas Jason is still burdened by his time in the pixie boots.
And from Dicks side? Dick got out, he LEFT Bruce’s shadow and when Bruce gave his mantle to some kid? He was nice about it! I mean he was too busy with his amazing girlfriend and his team to really become hung up on it! He gave the kid his number and his OG Robin suit and goes maybe we can form a relationship. And then the kid dies and Dick is destroyed, not only did his kid brother die, his kid brother DIED in HIS legacy. And the Jason comes back. Steals his suit, and begins killing people. Nearly gets Dick killed by the cops and spends so long trying to ruin Dicks solid reputation. Not only that? But in the suit father preformed in? With the name Clark Kent gave him??? One of the men he respects most in the world? WHICH he proceeds to do again?? With their Dead Dads costume? After all the SHIT he spewed about no one giving a damn about his death. About how Bruce and his crusade killed a child. And he goes and not only hurts Tim, the brother Dick worked SO hard to build a relationship with bc the last time he got out a Kid died. But also Damian, a literal 10 year old. Dick sends him to Arkham bc when he got sent to regular prison he killed hundreds of people? And sure now?? Jason’s working with the family sometimes? But if it was just a difference in morals Dick wouldn’t have that much of an issue? He’s friends with people who have differing moral codes! Hell he’s DATED people with different moral codes. But? Jason made their beef personal and now Dicks stuck with the knowledge that his younger brother DID a lot of that to HURT him specifically. Bruce was dead for a portion of this? Did that stop Jason from trying to ruin everything dicks ever believed in? Nope.
Like Dick has to exist knowing that he loves his brother and his brother very well could and would do what he did to him again.
Adding to this! (Sorry op)
HELENA IS THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER WHO PROTECTS THE ALLEY not Jason
Jason is the one who will do whatever it takes to reach his goal no matter who is in the way
And NOBODY HATES TIM DRAKE, NOT DICK, NOT JASON, NOT DAMIAN HELL EVEN STEPH STILL LOVES HIM. STOP
Dick can investigate, spy, work and all the normal things(cooking, cleaning, laundry,taxes) you all seem to think he cannot do? Despite being
A) training longer than Damian was a alive
B) a professional acrobat longer than Tim’s been alive
C) a functioning adult man who has lived alone since he was 17
D) the leader of a team that was not funded by Bruce or ollie or any branch of the league. A team he kept funded via merchandising contracts and being a little meticulous
E) and I cannot stress this enough THE HEIR TO THE BATMAN LEGACY
Tiktok is basically the place where someone's biggest argument is "it's canon that x character does x thing," and it's the most fanon fact there is.
No, Dick wasn't a cop any longer than any of his other jobs... And he's not unemployed either, that guy's resume must be at least three feet long.
No, Jason's central personality trait is not protecting women and children, he does that, but not as a standout trait; that's Selina.
No, Tim is not a cold calculating genius. The guy can be quite the idiot or just the crazy one of the group (he's a bat for God's sake).
No, Damian wasn't raised by Jason in the league of assassins. No, he's not that same kid you saw when he was 10 either, he's already a teenager now.
No, Cass is not mute, she didn't know how to speak, but now she communicates quite well with minimal grammar errors like anyone else.
No, Duke doesn't hate Dick. He felt betrayed, yes, but he got over it and actually admires him. (And he's not normal, no one is).
No, Steph doesn't want to be Bruce's daughter... And yes, she did call Nightwing hot, lol.
And no, Bruce is not incapable of being surprised or scared, and he definitely lost sight of his kids at least once lol
I find it funny where in both comics and fanfiction
No one gets right how much Dick Grayson should be eating?
(Warning to everyone from here on bc I get into calories and plz don’t read on if you have issues around weight/ food thank you!)
“Oh Dick lives on cereal”
“Oh Dick eats like a bird”
“Oh he forgets to eat”
“Oh he’s prone to restrictive eating”
GUYS HES a heavily athletic young male who spent his LIFE in sport is around 6’0 and is vaguely dorito shaped
Like his basal metabolic rate even without exercise is HORRIFICALLY HIGH like at the conservative estimate it would be around 3.6k (since hes already accustomed to a heavily active life he’d burn more even laying down than say a sedentary person)
And EVEN if you didn’t count running around the city all night/ his day life/ the fact he’s usually on his feat even as a civilian.
If you just took in the calisthenics required to THROW yourself off of a roof
Baby that’s 700calories an hour
So again LOW END 2.4K + 3.6k = brother is packing away 6k calories
Without all the running, working out, training, gymnastics
And hes running/jumping across a city so i would also put in the average 2.6k calories the average person burns running a marathon?
Are you seeing what I’m putting down?
Bro is EATING like a bodybuilding
And PACKING on carbs on carbs on carbs for energy
Like at the LOW end Dickie boy is eating 7k calories for maintenance.
Which is also why I am a huge fan of the cereal thing in moderation. Bc yeah guess what a quick release cheap carb that can be consumed quickly makes sense
But I also believe Dick is eating fuck you amounts of high calorie low volume foods like 1000 calorie smoothie 2-3 times a day
Like Dicks grocery bill must be OFFENSIVE
Like bro must be putting sticks off butter in his coffee instead of milk bc idek how he wouldn’t be struggling
Like he’s losing 3-6% of his body weight in movement alone
AND LETS NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE LIKE 6 LITERS OF WATER
It’s simple arithmetic
Me: queer
My favs: queer
Even if they weren’t before if I’m gay assume all my favorites are gay even if they aren’t
Occam’s homosexual
No tags this can just be sent thank you for the suggestions tumblr
hiii same anon who recommended that one fic ( i am really glad you liked it btw)
https://www.tumblr.com/theerurishipper/752161267004948480/twitter-au-masterpost
this one is not exactly a fic ( well it is on ao3 but there is not all the parts) it is a twitter au and i think you’d like dick’s characterization in this i really liked reading it ( it is a lot more lighthearted than the fic i sent obv 😭)
10/10 exactly the vibe I needed after the fuckfest today
I need about 40 more chapters
And yes I love My boy (also a big fan of the fact that he isn’t really on social media bc I love that for him)
Thank you so much anon it was lighthearted and funny and yeah a lil more on the batfamily fluff than I usually prefer but honestly I rlly enjoyed the character writing as well !!
I think Dick should be allowed to bite whatever DC character sexualizes him next :))))) as a treat :))))
Decided to reread the Grayson run instead of doing my work.
I forgot about the absolute grip tiger had on me god damn.
Someone plz
Gimmie more content
Preferably with my boy 37
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
