#if your dick grayson isn't just a little unhinged and very makes people blink and re-evaluate themselves as people just by meeting him

[river-bottom-nightmare]

Dick Grayson, age 9: I hate you Bruce! You’re not my dad! I’m going to kill zucco with my bare hands!

Jason Todd, age (idk, 13?): golly gee mr Wayne this sure is a nice place you got

Jason Todd (age 19, recently resurrected): I was never the son you wanted! You wanted a replacement for dick!

Bruce Wayne (age too fucking old for this shit): *rolls up sleeve to point to several bite mark shaped scars* you wanna know how I got these scars?

bruce: all i ever wanted was a non-feral child. just one that didn't want to gruesomely murder people. took an interest in college and other noble pursuits that have nothing to do with illegal vigilantism. crochet maybe. i remember i had one, once. a wonderful, smart, bright eyed child

jason: oh YEAH. well i'm SORRY that i can't be as perfect as DICK was, with his PERFECT GRADES and his COLLEGE DEGREE and—

bruce: i could not have been more clearly talking about you
