-Canonically he’s fairly violent depending on the severity of the situation, as shown by the time he beat the Joker to death with his bare hands when he thought that he killed Tim
-He can either get really quiet and tense or really loud and destructive (there is no in-between)
-Sometimes when he’s disappointed in someone, he emulates some of Bruce’s habits, such as being extremely quiet and terrifying, which is really alarming considering how chatty he usually is. Whoever is the subject of his disapproval is quick to try and reconcile so as to avoid his wrath
-He definitely holds grudges and will not hesitate to pull out receipts from years ago that will without fail ruin whoever dares oppose him when he gets in a mood
-It’s startling to those who haven’t ever seen him angry to experience a snap because it’s such a shift in character but it’s still him; he’s still a human being who experiences anger, he isn’t always happy go lucky Dick Grayson who never feels negative emotions. He can be incredibly vindictive and spiteful if prompted in any way
I just find it funny because I feel like as Robin everyone was like omg Dick is so cool and amazing and he’s got his life together
then as Nightwing it’s like “hey Tim have you seen my other glove?” “it’s in the crocky crunch box, not the one in the sink, the one crammed in the couch”
I think it’s more like Dick started living on his own so he let himself slack a little. He’d lived under the tidy and strict Batman and Alfred ever since childhood! So it’s more like he knows how to clean up he just rather not.
It’s a great comparison to Jason! it feels like Jason is very tidy as he’s older because he grew up where it’s dirty and dark and with no one cleaning up around him/ he had nothing so now that he CAN make things nice and neat he does! I think it’s really interesting!
Tim is pretty similar to Dick but he’s even more messy! It’s like everything that NEEDS to be tidy and neat, his case files, school work, etc. are arranged nice and if you look at him from outside it seems as if he’s got his whole life together and but then you see his room and…
It’s exam week and I am tired. Instead of coherent content, please enjoy this list of random dialogue that I currently have no context for:
Damian listened thoughtfully until Tim got to the end. “So basically we need your help. Any questions?”
“Yes,” Damian decided, after a few seconds of silence.
“Shoot.”
“When did I give you the impression that I cared?”
“Oh come on.”
“What was my mistake?”
“We’re on a timeline here.”
“No, really,” Damian asked, raising his hands in an exaggerated gesture of confusion. “Where did I go wrong?”
“I’m confused,” Duke told him. “Red Hood Jason or Trophy Case Jason?”
For some reason, Tim didn’t seem to understand the question. He pointed across the cave, to where Hood was sorting through medical supplies. “Jason.”
“So not the Robin that died.”
Tim pointed again, slower this time. “Jason.”
“That’s… the same person?”
“Yeah.”
“He didn’t actually die?”
“Oh boy,” said Tim, biting at his lip. “No, he was definitely dead.”
“Was?”
“Short-term. You really didn’t know?”
“It’s not an uncommon name?” Duke could hear the panic in his own voice, but he didn’t feel inclined to check it. “Why would I assume that one person… came back from the dead?? Instead of assuming there are two people named Jason?”
“Oh boy,” Tim repeated. He turned to Damian, who Duke suddenly noticed was smiling in a very unsettling sort of way. “You didn’t tell him?”
Damian shook his head. The smile became downright maniacal.
“Tell me what??”
“It’s a family meeting,” Dick told him. “You have to stay.”
Jason collapsed back into his armchair, glaring. “You know sometimes I think I never actually came back to life? I just died and went to hell.” He crossed his arms. “Because honestly? This could be hell.”
“Stop being dramatic.”
Jason threw him a look that clearly communicated ‘when hell freezes over’ in the most dramatic way possible, or at least that was the goal.
Dick turned away, rolling his eyes. He seemed to get the message. There, Jason thought. Nailed it. He felt better.
“What’s the holdup?” Tim asked, settling onto the couch next to Cass. “Something wrong?”
Dick shrugged. “Bruce says he has an announcement.”
“We have a new sibling?” Tim guessed.
“What? No.” Dick frowned, probably running the odds just to be sure. “Not that I’m aware of, anyway.”
“You had to think about it,” Tim noted, and then turned to face the door as Bruce finally made his entrance.
“I have an announcement.”
“We have a new sibling?”
“What?” Bruce asked. “No.” His eyes flicked upward for half a second, and then he continued, decisive. “No, you don’t.”
“See?” Tim asked. “He had to think about it.”
“I thought you were against this plan,” Duke said.
Damian nodded. “I am, but Todd and I reached an agreement.”
“Yeah?”
“Simple bet,” Damian confirmed. “If it works, I have to go to Drake’s birthday party, but if Todd dies again, I get to put ‘Damian told him so’ on his new headstone.”
“Oh,” Duke told him. “That sounds… fair.”
Damian leaned back against the wall, smirking. “I like my chances.”
[scene break]
At that point, Duke became pretty sure that the plan wasn’t going to work. He looked from Jason, up on the rooftop, to Damian, who was calmly punching numbers into his phone. “Uh. Shouldn’t we go help him?”
Damian raised a finger in a give-me-a-second kind of gesture while he put his phone to his ear. “Hello, Elliot Funeral Home? How much do you charge for gravestones? Midrange. I see. Very reasonable.”
“Damian!”
“Fine,” Damian sighed. “Thank you,” he told his phone. “I’ll be in touch.”
the man just pulled that damn collar out of ass-nowhere. bam. kapow. he was dressed in a blue jacket and a perfectly well-fitted turtleneck and then the second he decided to undress that collar popped out of his titties like daisies from the graves of the damned
What if after the pit, Jay loses his memory. Freaks out for a bit, and somehow ends up back in Gotham. Gets a job at WE, and Bruce has a nuclear melt down when he walks past him in the copier room.
Jason: *Runs out of the room and down the hallway* I WAS JUST DOING SOME SCANNING
Bruce: *Chasing him*
Random employee: Is that legal?
Dick: So, if he lost his memory… What name does he go by now?
Bruce: Dave.
Dick: *Horrified gasp* Dave-Bird…
Jason (Dave): *Hesitantly opens Bruce’s office door carrying coffee* Sorry I’m late. A pipe in my apartment building burst.
Bruce: *Extremely pleased* How unfortunate.
Jason (Dave): Yeah…
Bruce: I guess you’ll be needing a new place to live.
Jason (Dave): Oh, no. It should just be a couple of da…
Bruce: You can move into the manor with your brothers and I.
