Damn now I can’t decide if I want to ready all of those fics or join them and write my own 😭😭





Guess who finally watched the Batman movie and right after this read a bunch of Fanfics, where they throw a young Robin/Dick Grayson at Battinson
…It’s me
and I’m gonna do that too^^
I need to see Tim meet a kid who’s mentor “died” but they don’t believe it.
I need Tim to see this kid who’s just begging Tim to give him a chance to explain his reasoning, begging Tim to be the first person to look at the evidence he’s brought logically.
I need to see Tim say “I believe you, I’ll help you” to him. I need to see the adventure they go on to bring that mentor back, I need to see Tim make sure another kid doesn’t go through what he did.
i need to see that kid healing from what other people said to him while Tim heals from what those people used to say about him
He’s beautiful

he's very excited about his first night as a jack o lantern
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.

Tim Drake’s self preservation instincts do NOT kick in
Full 100% honesty… I forgot Rick Flag existed. (Which is wild because there are at least three of them 😭😭)
The nature of being a DC fan is that you invariably become obsessed with a guy named Richard who was orphaned as a child
One of the perks of living in Gotham is that occasionally you’ll walk past a Wayne having the most batshit insane conversation anybody has ever had.
Walk past Dick Grayson on the street and hear him say into his phone, “I don’t think he’s anti-vax, but Superman is definitely not vaccinated.”
Stand outside of the downtown WE building and see Tim Drake walk out with his tall friend only to pause and say, “Hold on, I just got the mental image of Lex Luthor pregnant. Thanks for that.”
A lucky few who ride the same subway line as the newest Wayne edition, overheard Duke tell Stephanie that living in Wayne Manor is, “Alright, but when I moved in Jason and Damian gave me a knife and said I had to kill Tim. Said it was tradition.”
“It kinda is. Did you do it?”
“No!” Duke says, to the relief of the overhearers. “Get this…he stabbed himself.”
“…yeah, I should’ve guessed that.”
The downside to living in Gotham is literally everything else.
This is like a renaissance painting to me

I half feel bad for Bruce. Like, look at the man's face.
That’s so real. Dick isn’t even my favorite character (or my second or third, at that) but in an odd way… I’m totally obsessed with him in a way I’m not with the others???

I wanna pinch his cheeks 😭








Dustin Nguyen Jaybin you will always be famous
He is literally just a baby
brb CRYING
Dick forgets to eat sometimes.
Jason can’t fathom it—the entire concept is foreign to him. For as long as he can remember, food’s always been on his mind. If he wasn’t digging through dumpsters for it, he was squirreling away whole pieces of fruit and unopened granola bars the kids at school carelessly left on their trays, picking up gigs babysitting the neighbor brats for the complimentary PB&Js, sitting through two-hour fire & brimstone church sermons daydreaming about the fried chicken and potato salad that would come after. Jason’s gone hungry more times than he can count but never once has he simply forgotten to eat.
Bruce says it’s something with the way Dick’s brain is wired. It’s why he can’t sit still very long without his leg jittering, why he talks a mile a minute when he gets going on a topic, why his apartment always looks like a tornado went through it.
All Jason knows is that it’s five p.m. and he’s starving.
Except he isn’t—not really. He had a bowl of Cap’n Crunch in Dick’s kitchen just that morning, milk and all. Jason’s gone far longer on far less, so he doesn’t know why his stomach's complaining so much today, why his head feels achy and light, why that tiny biting pain in his middle won’t shut up. He’s been living at the Manor for four months now and he’s already gone soft.
They’re walking through Bludhaven Shopping Centre, Dick babbling on about the last obstacle of the indoor minigolf course they just finished. Jason tries to listen, but his heart is beating strangely fast and the only thought pulsing through his mind is food, food, food—
And then abruptly, he notices that Dick’s stopped walking. He’s looking at Jason, brow furrowed and lips moving as if asking a question, but Jason isn’t hearing anything because his hands are shaking and his breaths are coming out quick and gaspy and even though he’d been looking forward to hanging out with Dick for weeks now he suddenly wants nothing more than to be back in the Manor where the pantry’s always stocked and the fridge is full and he can breathe.
And then he blinks and he’s sitting at a sticky food court table, and Dick’s got a hand on his back, saying “in and out, nice and slow, that’s it” and Jason’s got tears welling up in his eyes which pisses him off because that’s stupid, he’s being stupid, only cats and babies cry because they missed lunch, and—
And then there’s a soft pretzel in a paper wrapper being nudged into his hand by a guilty-faced Dick with a murmur of “I’m so sorry, I wasn’t thinking” and it makes Jason want to crawl into a hole and die because he can’t just be fucking normal about this.
But there’s honey mustard sauce to dip it in, and a Chipotle bowl soon after, and tomorrow he and Dick both eat all three meals.
I’m in love with her


happy steph anniversary may we all remember when steph coordinated her outfit with a pair of high heeled cowboy boots to go beat the shit out of her dad
- Tim, probably

everybody tell duke how good his moth costume looks or i'll blow this place up






Watch your momentum.
Are those little bat earplugs in his ears??? I’m obsessed 😭😭

Holy school night, Batman!
Dick Grayson tiny Robin propaganda. He is such a little guy he is my favourite.






Watch your momentum.
This should be canon and I will forever be treating it as such. Idec I’m literally gonna gaslight people about it if I have to





The story behind the bat nomenclature, or, batkids from Jason onwards question Bruce Wayne’s obsession with bats
Inspired by batfamscreaming’s very cute post about Batman being a dad, and the very adorable and real phenomenon of words or phrases coined by older siblings being added to the family’s lexicon.
I took the liberty of including the typical (if altered) “Why?”/”Because I’m your father, that’s why” exchange because there can never be enough batdad, dammit.
Tim Drake: Batman, you’ve gotten too dark since your last Robin died. You need a new Robin to remind you of something very important: Batman doesn’t kill.
Bruce: I… thank you, Tim. I’d almost forgotten—
Tim, blowing up a warehouse full of goons: killing is MY job
I think it would be an incredibly funny idea to give Dickie an existential crisis for a week because he takes a test for the metagene as a joke and it comes back positive. "I FUCKING KNEW IT," says every single Robin that could never do even half of his flippiest flippy flippy bullshit
The punchline is, of course, that after more testing they find out his acrobatic skills have nothing to do with his actual superpower. Which is something that only flew under the radar all his life cause Dick didnt know it wasnt normal. Like... idk, aura reading or better night vision or something. A very "wait, you mean everyone else can't do that?" moment
All the other Robins are once again devastated, Dick is very smug. Do you see my vision


Alfred's out of town:)
I always have incredibly mixed feelings when it comes to people depicting Cass as a dancer. On one hand, I think that its a really cool way for her to express herself through movement in a way that is not born of violence.
BUT the idea that The Cassandra Cain would take a lesson or join a class is crazy. If girlie is dancing there is no way she's being told how to do it by someone else, or learning choreography.
I think that we as a society need to remember that Cass thinks she can do anything, with no training or preparation, and 99% of the time she can.
David Cain: This is my daughter, who I spent years raising under meticulously abusive circumstances in order to make her the perfect assassin.
Barbara Gordon and Bruce Wayne:

I absolutely can fix him thank you very much


the audacity of the official dc account to even post this 😭
Jim Gordon keeping a family tree of the bats with updated names and costumes cuz those guys switch up every couple months and never tell him so whenever someone has a costume change or gets more emo furring their teenage rebellion he's all like "that's great kiddo, but which one are you" like a grandparent with too many damn kids
