Dickroy - Tumblr Posts
Oh, there was heaven in your eyes ✨
What if you did song 4. And Roy Harper was there.
4- All Things End, Hozier
Like for instance I think Dick is a bit of a musical chameleon. He doesn't have a set genre he enjoys.
He loves country if he's shouting Dolly Parton lyrics with Roy as they drive down an empty highway.
He loves classical when he gets to sit with Joey while he plays piano
He adores pop when he gets to dance all night with Kory. It doesn't matter where they are
He loves old school blues when he's just finished a mission with Tiger, the only indication the other man likes the song playing is his finger tapping against the steering wheel as they drive to their next location
He loves rock because seeing Barbara headbang makes him fall in love with her a little bit more each day
At the end of the day, love songs transcend genre, and Dick loves love songs
I think it's funny when fans don't vibe with a character's canonical music taste so they invent their own.
I was thinking about that in regards to Roy being in a blues band when half the fan content I see is leaning more towards rock and alternative. Which is fine! I also see this a lot with Ollie and Barry, who's music taste is jazz (much to Hal's distaste)
I'm not saying I keep it canonical either, I personally think Roy would be really into country music and folk. The kinda music you can sing with your loved ones by a fire with only a guitar and the ground beneath your boot to make a beat.
Tell me your blorbo's music taste! Is it canonical or do you make your own rules?

Mostly an idea for the future but would people be interested in comic strip/page commissions?
I'm not sure how I'd price these tbh, but here's examples
reasons to ship dickroy
canon
actual canon, not whatever’s been going on this past decade
dick tends to like redheads (and irish accents)
arrows tend to like pretty birds (specifically, of the black-haired, blue-eyed, motorcycle-riding, punches-really-hard variety)
know what causes most of the problems in dick’s relationships? him being married to the job. know what causes most of the problems in roy’s? him disliking clinginess + wanting some degree of freedom. it works out
that punk/prep aesthetic though
remember that time when roy lied to dick, so he could get dick to help with finding lian, and then dick who, by the way, flips his shit when bruce lies to him all the time, found out about it, but still helped roy, because roy
or the time when roy legit yelled at his boss on the phone for asking him to take over the titans instead of dick, because dick
god they’d be the most supportive boyfriends ever that’s some patrochilles shit right there
“i’m here when you’re ready”
“there is no one…no one…” okay no, y’all can finish that quote yourselves because if you don’t know it then shame on you
childhood! friends! to! lovers!
who starts a whole freaking team to cheer somebody up!? i don’t think you understand, roy had a daughter to raise at the time, but he knew leaving dick alone meant dick would go on a downward spiral so he started a whole fucking team for him i can’t
roy living by “what would dick do” has been actual canon - consistently, for like years now
dick being so, so close to kicking people’s asses if they disrespect roy has been actual canon - consistently, for like years now
when dick was undercover as a bad guy but roy still listened to him? when roy had to make everyone take a polygraph but he was all like “dick, with you, i’m just going through the motions, i know it’s not you”? [roy harper voice] richard john grayson has never done anything wrong in his life, ever, i know this and i love him
have you seen how dick reacts when roy’s flirting with other people lmao
bantering like an old married couple
lian loves her dads!
you just know bruce would disapprove. and ollie would disapprove too, for entirely different reasons. this some romeo and juliet forbidden love shit
size difference mm good shit that’s some good shit right there
the way they react to seeing each other again after being apart, god i miss ntt
um, “you ran off to new york with bruce’s checkbook in one pocket and roy in the other”? kory knows
um, “you would make a swell couple in an erotic butch and sundance kind of way”? grace also knows
if you like jayroy you will love dickroy it’s the same general concept except one didn’t need to erase all of roy’s relationships and skills and personality in order to convince us that it would work
i just miss them so much @ dc why do you hate us
(Please don't ship him with the other batkids or bruce those are his siblings and his dad)
The poll ended, thank you to everyone who voted and congratulations to Kori for winning!

The dcu characters are shaking in fear every time Babs makes a your mum joke bc they don't know if she's joking. First Bruce, now Dinah, who next? No one knows, everyone is scared.
(I haven't heard of Babs x Dinah before and I don't like it but it'd be funny)
Roy and Babs' dynamic has the potential to be so funny. "I'm having a homoerotic relationship with your stepmother while you are having a homoerotic relationship with my boyfriend". Unhinged.
I love how tumblr overreacts when I tag stuff. But not every tag. Like I've made so many himym posts and I never see posts for it but I tagged one thing dickroy and I've got so much stuff like
Me: hey I like this
Tumblr: okay? That's nice?
Me: oh and I like dickroy-
Tumblr: YOU LIKE DICKROY??
