Conversation

Costumes

Steph: All I'm saying is that the women in this family clearly have better fashion sense than the men.

Jason: Hey! My costumes are cool.

Steph: I'll admit that the recent ones are sort of 'street chic' but the dildo helmet? Dick's pantless Robin costume? Please

Jason: If you call me street chic ever again-

Tim: Excuse me, but can we all agree that there should be at least three categories in regards to costumes? Men, women, and Dick the Discoqueen

Jason: Don't lump me in with your flaming Dorito wings

Tim: whatever panties mcgee

Jason: THEY WERE HOTPANTS

Everyone:

Tim: Was that really the best comeback you had?

Jason: [flustered] GIVE ME A MINUTE

Tim: You're gonna need more than a minute to explain that one

Barbara: [snorts] says condom head

Jason: There was nothing wrong with that one!

Steph: Just own up to your own bad taste, Jason, it's understandable. I mean, no wonder you originated both the dildo helmet and the condom cowl; your role model was Dick.

Jason: How DARE you imply-

Tim: Can the categories be "with pants" and "without pants"?

Barbara: So you put on some tights, big whoop. Doesn't make you any better than Dick the second over there.

Jason: I-

Tim: Steph's Robin costume was basically the same as mine

Steph: [rolls her eyes] New York Magazine says that, surprisingly, 99% of Gothamites thinks the girl wore the tights better.

Tim: Well my new costume-

Barbara: Oh that's a bad move

Steph: You mean the dirtbrown one? It's proof that you never learn.

Tim: [offended gasp]

Duke: [walks in] what are you-

Steph: Oh! Duke gets a girl pass!

Duke: nevermind

Barbara: We're talking about costumes. The good, the bad, and the, frankly, disturbing.

Duke: Discowing?

Tim: And the original Robin

Duke: Actually, I'd say Damian's is pretty cool.

Tim: [throws his hands up in frustration]

Steph: Oh, you're right, Damian can get a girl pass.

Duke: I always assumed that the ugly, weird ones were Bruce's influence showing

Duke: I mean, the original Batman costume?

Everyone:

Steph: YOU'RE RIGHT

Steph: New categories! "Bruce" and "not Bruce"

Jason: OH YOU HAD BETTER NOT-

Steph: Dick, Jason and Tim end up in the "Bruce" category on account of the hot pants, dildo helmet, condom cowl, and the Flame-boyant Wings on Ice.

Jason: [screams with rage]

Barbara: You forgot the-

Steph: I'm not gonna list all of Dick's fashion mistakes I have things to do today.

Dick: [in a defeated voice from his seat between Jason and Barbara] yeah that's fair.

Toma! What do you think would’ve happened to Jason if Ethiopia had never happened? Do you think he would’ve grown up and become some other hero? Also, do you think Tim would still join the family?

Oh that’s an interesting question!!

From an out-of-universe perspective it’s harder to tell, since even before the vote writer Jim Starlin already disliked Robin as a concept - and since Jason was Robin at the time, he got sidelined from stories and Starlin was weirdly eager to kill him off. And even in the alternate DITF ending where he’d have lived, Jason would have ended up in a coma and likely sidelined for a while.

SO i’m gonna stick with a in-universe perspective on what i think Could happen or what would have been fun to see if Jason hadn’t died imo! (under a read more bc i get sidetracked and talk a lot)

I think there’s still a chance there might have been some conflict in Bruce and Jason’s relationship, since previously to Ethiopia Jason was acting out and being overly reckless (which was noted as out of the norm and a possible response to trauma by Bruce and Alfred) and the Garzonas Incident had also happened a little before that.

Ideally, Bruce’d be able to step up as a parent and deal with this tactfully, helping Jason through it (which he made an attempt by taking Jason off active duty as robin, though it didn’t quite work), and despite roadbocks they’d remain with a bond strong as ever. But even if worse came to worst and they couldn’t see eye to eye, ending up with a rift between them, I doubt their relationship’d end up near Red Hood levels of shaken and damaged.

To the second question, yeah! Imo Red Hood was a result of the very specific set of the circumstances of his death and ressurection, so I think he would’ve come up with a very different new hero identity upon outgrowing Robin assuming he remained in the hero business.

And yeah, I think Tim would still join the family! Or at least I like to think so anyway. It likely would’ve played out differently and Tim might’ve not been the one to make the first move (since what led to him first reaching out to them was the way Bruce was acting in the aftermath of Jason’s death and believing Batman having a Robin once more could help), but maybe they’d still meet during a patrol or a fancy event.

Or upon the Drakes’ accident, assuming it still played out the same, Bruce would step up to support the neighbor kid while trying to keep his identity secret, being none the wiser that Tim knows everything about Batman. That’s a really fun concept actually.

Since Jason would still be Robin, it’s likely that Tim wouldn’t have a hero identity right away. He’d probably remain as the civilian friend-neighbor who happens to know their identities, gets caught up in their bat-shenanigans and looks up to Dick and Jason.

But despite not going into the field to fight, I think he could develop an interest in the detective-ing aspect and help with that in a support role, and maybe tag along with Jason in his solo missions even though he’s not supposed to. Jason could eventually pass on Robin to him upon going to colege!

Another concept I Love is a Robin Jason, civilian Tim and Spoiler Steph trio. It sounds like it could be SO much fun I adore this idea (i have an art wip for it actually. i’ll get around to finishing it one day). I also feel like Tim and Steph might have a better relationship in this situation since the tim-knows-steph's-secret-identity-but-she-doesn't-know-his aspect from canon would be absent, and as a regular kid I don’t think Tim would have the condescending attitude Robin Tim has towards her at times.

Back to Jason, something I would’ve LOVED to see is more of him interacting and teaming up with Dick. Their interactions before his death were very limited but we know for a fact they went to a ski trip together off-panel at some point, so i don’t think it’s far-fetched to assume they hung out more often than canon shows. Given that Dick and Bruce weren’t at the best of terms when Jason was Robin, I think it would be fun to see them sneak around Bruce, or Jason turning to Dick when he’s mad at Bruce.

This IS the dynamic duo i want. DC give us an entire series of Discowing and Little Wing i’m begging you

and LASTLY I think it’d be so much fun if Jason had gotten to interact more with heroes his age. His friendship and teamup with Eddie was sweet and him joining the Titans as the Smaller Robin was a fun time, and it would’ve been great if he eventually grew up to start his own Junior Titans team or something. I’m not very familiar with what other heroes his age could be a part of something like this other than Eddie (and maybe even Steph?), but I’ve heard of characters like Kyle Rayner and Rose Wilson mentioned for this purpose!

firsttt jaydick as discowing and robin!jason pwease? uwu jason trying everything he can to impress his crush but failing until he does something that leaves breathless and gives him a kiss on the cheek? 👀💞

And we’re off! Sorry it took most of the day. I groomed my dog, which I forgot tends to take several hours. Then I sat down to write and she demanded a walk. I hope you enjoy, Cherry!

“And then I kicked the guy through the window of the store and right in front of the police, it was super cool!” Jason had barely taken a breath through the story he told Dick of the time he handled a case basically by himself on patrol a few nights before.

Dick didn’t want to be in the cave, that much was clear from how much he bristled every time Bruce looked his way or cleared his throat. Jason didn’t care though, this was Dick Grayson of the Flying Graysons, the first Robin. All it had taken was one look at Dick in his costume, v dropping low down his chest, for Jason to know that it was love at first sight.

The only problem was that no matter how hard Jason tried, he couldn’t get Dick to give him the time of day. All Dick did was yell at Bruce. Jason wanted Dick to smile, he wanted Dick to look his way for one second. He knew Dick was livid that Jason had replaced him, but Jason was more than that.

“The other day, I bench pressed 100 pounds,” Jason said as he dropped down into a split. “B said it was a new personal record, right B?”

“Jason don’t you have homework you should be doing?” Dick asked.

“I already finished it,” Jason said. “I’m ahead actually. I do a lot of my homework in study hall, then the rest when I get home. It gives me more time for training.”

“A shower then?” Dick asked.

Jason knew when he was being dismissed. He sighed and walked to the locker room, doing his best not to let his shoulders fall until the door was shut behind him.

-

“Bruce, when I said I could help you with this case, I didn’t mean watching over Robin for you.”

“I can look after myself,” Jason piped up, trying to quell the argument so patrol with Dick wouldn’t be as tense. “I lived on my own for months after my mom died, and then again when my first foster family was bad.”

The look Dick gave him wasn’t admiration like Jason wanted, but pity. Jason hated when people pitied him.

“Come on, Dick! It’ll be fun! I can show you my favorite chili dog spot. I did some research and it’s on our route for tonight. Lighten up.”

Dick sighed and turned back to Bruce. “You owe me for this, B. Come on Little Wing, let’s go.”

Jason put on his helmet and slotted behind Dick on his motorcycle, arms wrapped around Dick’s waist, warmth travelling through him in every spot where he and Dick were touching. He closed his eyes on the ride out of the cave and pretended that he could have this moment over and over again. He would. He escaped Crime Alley, he was doing better in school than anyone thought he would, and he was Robin, the Robin.

Dick had them run through a series of warm-ups where they ran from rooftop to rooftop. Jason managed to keep up with Dick the entire time. When they got their first call, Jason helped Dick take down a few thugs trying to rob a convenience store and calmed down the lady that was crying behind the counter.

“That was really sweet of you, Little Wing,” Dick said as they left the store, climbing up to another rooftop.

“She was upset,” Jason said with a shrug, even though his cheeks were warm and pink. He knew his green mask would only make his blush even more furious. “It was the right thing to do.”

“It was,” Dick agreed.

They handled a few more incidents together, and each time, Dick warmed up to him more and more. Jason tried less to impress him and more to do the right thing, trying to be the best Robin he could be. Each time Dick gave him a gentle shove and told him “good job” Jason felt like he was lighting up from the inside.

“So about that chili dog place you were telling me about,” Dick said. “Is there any chance they’re open right now?”

“Absolutely!” Jason said.

“Lead the way then.”

A few chili dogs later, Dick leaned back on a rooftop, legs kicking over the edge. “You were right about those chili dogs, Little Wing, I’m going to have to stop by there every time I’m in Gotham now. I don’t know how he did it but they were,” Dick did a chef’s kiss gesture. “Hot diggity delicious.”

Jason laughed. “Hot diggity delicious?”

Dick shrugged but he had a lopsided grin on his face. “Not every bit of wordplay lands, I guess.” He stood up and stretched his arms above his head. Jason’s eyes didn’t know where to look. “I think it’s about time we dropped you off.”

The ride back to the manor felt far too short, and if Jason held onto Dick longer than he should have after they pulled into the cave, Dick didn’t say anything.

Jason took off his helmet and lingered in front of Dick. “Thanks for tonight,” he said. “I know you didn’t want to go on patrol with me but I think it was a lot of fun. We should do it again!”

Dick looked at him for a long moment. “We should,” he said. “I had fun. I’m sorry I made it seem like I didn’t want to spend time with you. You know how B and I are.” He reached behind his head. “Anyways. You have a good night, Jason.”

Jason stepped forwards and pulled Dick into a hug before Dick could leave. “Thank you,” Jason said again.

Dick pulled back. “You’re welcome, Little Wing. Maybe I’ll come around later this week and we can spar. How does that sound?”

Jason lit up. “That sounds awesome!” He said. “I bet I can pin you.”

“I’m sure you can,” Dick said as he leaned in and pecked Jason’s cheek goodnight. “Night Jason.”

He put on his helmet and took off out of the cave, and Jason stood there with red cheeks and a grin on his face until Alfred called to ask him when he was planning on coming upstairs.

☕ + other vigilantes

Batman - A cool dude and a good dad. I trust him with my life. A little dark and gloomy but I miss him when he’s not around

Nightwing - Took me under his wing when I first started out. A stand up guy, doesn’t deserve that much hate for his discowing suit

Red Hood - Has tried to kill me but we’re chill now. Probably the sibling I’m closest to

Black Bat - Could beat me in a fight any day but doesn’t hold it over me. The coolest person anyone will ever meet. Gives good hugs

Signal - The only person good enough to be a meta hero in Gotham. A huge nerd but in a fun way. Also has the coolest suit

Robin - Has also tried to kill me, but he’s just a kid so it’s okay. We used to fight all the time but now I think we work together pretty well? Doesn’t like listening to me

Oracle - Extremely cool and capable of truly scary things. Don’t fuck with her

Spoiler - Steph is one of the best partners I could have asked for. We butted heads a lot at first but I think that we’ve figured it out. I’m really proud of the person she’s become

Yeah my asks are always open to headcanon, silly prompt or the fantasy AU. I might take some time to answer but I will eventually.

Drawing art is a way for me to convey information, I’m kinda bad at writting but I’m doing my best.

Here’s some supplementary infos for my headcanon Fantasy AU, beware long post :

Mer Dick Grayson :

Dick doesn’t hold telepathic link to fish since he lived most of his time out of water, travelling. As a Merperson, he’s actually quite adapt to land and doesn’t miss water or dry as fast as his kins

Due to his way of life, especially as Robin, his genes grew his fangs/canines/nails/tails very sharp, as well as most of his sense.

Since Richie’s life is not suppose to be that “menacing”, Dick find a way to control nails, while his canine are hidden by some projection tech.

Dick learned to use his echolocation even in human form, since it was very useful especially when he does acrobatie in small spaces or in the dark.

Part of his arms and legs keeps their scales, he pretty much doesn’t need shaving. His hair are dry af tho so he uses a lot of natural product to make them lust.

His magic leg powder can actually be used on any “tailed”. Ex, Kori as a Naga ‘kinda like a fire mer) can use it too. Although Dick need cold water or seawater to get his tail back, Kori needs to set herself on fire. Literal fire.

Vampire Jason Todd :

Jason was a smoll human with latent vampire genes that kicked in due to his childhood. He just had some enhanced sense.

Pretty sure I said it but he became a full vampire after Lazarus.

His wings contain a whole dimension when he can pretty much keep any non-living thing.

Officially, Jason is the only one who can acess the hidden dimension. Roy, Kori, Artemis and Bizarro have however noticed they could, and at some point, Cass sometime reaches for some hoodies. Damian was able to get snacks. Tim is pretty sure any bat but Dick can reach the secret dimension in the wings. Dick had tried several time but apparently he is unable. Probably because Jason has some dear souvenir of his time as Robin and Discowing and he won’t admit it.

Sometimes he makes his wings rain candies and cereal on Christmas and Halloween and everybody is having the time of their life.

Sunburn makes his skins crack. Kori (Naga) tries to lower her flames and body temperature most of the times.

Skin cracks doesn’t actually hurts, but its irritating and he needs to drink more blood to compensate.

Blood are meals and human food are just snacks, even if he engulfe 50 pancakes.

Most of the time he drinks bloods from criminals, he takes much more pleasure when his friend or family stocks a bit of their blood as donation. So far, Roy’s, Artemis’ and Bruce’s blood tasted the best. Kori is very exotic and kinda spicy but nice. On rare occasion, he got expresso shot from Tim. Damian, Cass and Kyle taste very healthy and while Dick taste like a milkshake.

Thanks for the ask, it’s always nice to think about headcanon for the fantasy AU.

#lychee answers ask #fantasy au #dick grayson #jason todd #merman dick #vampire jason #vampire jay #headcanon #thank you for the asks #it makes me feel previous that people are interested in the au #i'm sorry my writting is a mess i'vebeen using sai again and it feels nice

Alright everybody so they are officially making a season six of Teen Titans! This is one of the best animated series ever and I cannot contain my excitement! I'm ready to find out how Terra survived and if her and Beast Boy will finally get together, see if we get any new Titans Towers, and finally see Robin transition into being Nightwing. I'm really hoping for that last part because Nightwing is my all time favorite character. And I think it would be awesome till see him designing his new suit and the Discowing suit was a scrapped idea. - The Winged Avenger Let us know what you think by liking and commenting on the post, and don't forget to subscribe to the page! We do not own this photo.

Dick Grayson is a Goddamn Dork™ ACTUAL CANONS

1. The discowing suit. I mean, really? 2. Canonically was responsible for naming the batarangs, the Batmobile, and probably every other bat- thing in the cave. 3. Continued to defend those choices, even as Batman. "That's a stupid name." "You mean *awesome*." 4. Little kid tries to punch him (as a cop!) and he responded by saying, "you're throwing a punch wrong. Here, hit me again, like this" 5. Built an entire secret room in his apartment for vigilante purposes, still leaves his Nightwing suit in a heap on the ground next to his bed where Goddamn anyone can see it 6. Puts his fingers up by his head so that thugs who see his shadow will think he's Batman 7. When deciding what to call his new a batarang equipment, unironically decided to call them "wing-dings" 8. Is honestly flattered when supervillains compliment his butt 9. "That would make them nunjas." ARE YOU KIDDING ME GRAYSON THEY'RE POINTING GUNS AT YOU IS NOW *REALLY* THE BEST TIME TO PUN 10. Does not bother to park the Batwing or even bring it low, flings himself out of it from 1,000 feet up because *aesthetic*

In Defense of the Discowing

I’m going to give a short little rundown of the history of one of the stories of how Dick got the Discowing outfit ;) The story and most of the pics are from Nightwing: Year One, and although I do have some issues with that storyarc (like how Dick ended his tenure as Robin), this part is fairly unproblematic, at least :)

We’ll start out with Dick talking with Superman, who tells him the legend of the Nightwing. I like that this Kryptonian Nightwing has a feathered look like the Discowing costume which had already premiered back in

Tales of the Teen Titans from July 1984 (this issue - Nightwing 102 - came out in March 2005).

After this, Dick

goes back to Haly’s Circus, which just happens to be touring with the Hill Brothers Circus, which was home to Boston and Cleveland Brand of Deadman fame. It’s a good place for him when he needs to find himself, so it’s natural that he returns there.

Just in case mobile butchers this, there’s a read more cut, below....

Boston is already dead/a ghost, so this is actually Cleveland. Shape of the costume looks a bit familiar, doesn’t it? The costume was Boston’s first, and then Cleveland took over, but then we see that they copied it from none other than John Grayson.

They’ve convinced Dick to perform with them, so he uses his dad’s old costume as inspiration, and they make one up in robin’s egg blue and a slightly darker shade.

Looking a bit more familiar, now.

And, back to Boston and Cleveland. This is specific to Nightwing Year One, but Bruce was worried about Dick, so he sent Boston/Deadman looking for him. It’s sort of cute in a creepy Batman way. Also, poor Alfred; that had to have been unsettling.

And then we get a quick look at Jason; he’s been training and is finally ready to run The Gauntlet so he can go out and be Robin.

Which is, of course, when Dick decided he’s still going to fight crime, and he can just wear this new costume with a mask…

Of course all hell breaks loose and there are miscommunications, and Batman gets shot, so Jason and Dick end up working together. They don’t mention that it was Mary Grayson’s nickname here, but even in this version, Dick is unsettled at hearing someone else called by his name, even if he’s the one who did it.

And here we go… not only would Alfred let Dick out of the house/Cave in the Discowing costume, Alfred made it for him.

“Because the costume I last saw you wearing was tattered and torn. The robin’s egg blue was inspired. But how can one take flight without new wings? If the feathering is familiar, it is because you once wore this color to great distinction in your youth. And I’ve no doubt you will again. -A.”

Alfred is the best.
