very tired of the ‘Dick Grayson is mostly a pretty boy with bad puns, golden retriever vibes’ trope. Give me German Shepherd Dick. Give me the ‘consummate performer’ Dick. The one all, brilliance, bloody smiles and showmanship, the one with razor sharp wit and charm made weapon. Dick who seamlessly switches between a million personas. The one who doesn’t know what to do when the show’s over. Give me the Dick no one wants to be on the wrong side of because Nightwing might not start battles, but he finishes them. The only one whose threats the entire Batfam (including Bruce) takes seriously. The one fear toxins can’t affect because he’s been to hell and back.

The Dick who unlike Jason doesn’t even mention how much he’s been fucked up and survived. The one the Joker knew he couldn’t break.

bat physical therapy thoughts:

Dick: longest routine you've ever seen, does it religiously every night. some of the stretches are things he used to do with his parents but most of them are recovery/compensation ones for his bad knee and his fucked up shoulders and his weird wrist and his etc etc etc. dick is kind of a mess but he's also an acrobat and he knows how to keep his body at peak performance as long as he can.

Tim: also does all his stretches because a) Dick does and b) he wants to keep being Robin as long as possible and that means treating his body like a machine brute forcing his way into physical prowess

Bruce: has a VERY extensive routine. regularly forgets to do it until he finds himself white knuckling through blinding levels of lower back pain and has to get back on the wagon and rebuild his muscle strength. you would think based on everything else about him that he'd be better at basic bodily maintenance but he resents the necessity of it enough to not do it the way he should.

Jason: has never stretched in his life. sounds like microwave popcorn every time he moves. everyone thinks he does that stupid rolling panther walk because it's intimidating but he actually fucked up his hip flexors years ago and hasn't bothered to get them checked out because "it doesn't impact him in the field" (it does)

Steph: kind of perfunctory routine Leslie made her learn. she does it every couple weeks it's fine.

Cass: has never been injured in a way that required PT to recover because she doesn't move in ways her body doesn't support <3

Damian: should be young enough not to need it but does all of Dick's stretches anyway, just in case, and with incredible concentration. it's sooo cute

Duke: is kind of dubious about all of this (he has superpowers, come on.) but he'll do stretches with someone else as a team thing.

Babs: if any of the bats complain about not wanting to do their stupid routines for babies to her again she's going to beat them with a pull down bar removed from one of the very expensive custom machines in her extremely extensive home gym.

Actually Roy and Jade being ex's who sometimes get along and sometimes don't and heavily disagree on things but still try to work some of those things out because they do still care about each other and they love their kid and are thus forever connected by her is extremely important to me regarding their dynamic. I don't think I could be nearly as interested in them and their relationship if they turned into a lovey-dovey domestic endgame couple. If I want to write them as settling down (mainly Jade) I still wouldn't write them together, which is for more personal reasons (both of my parents are two times divorced but now good friends with each other, I still call my step-mom my step-mom even though she and my dad have been divorced for years by now, my mom and step-mom are also friendly with each other, etc etc). It just resonates with me more that there can be genuine care and love between people and perhaps romantic feelings were an important part of it at some point, but it is not the necessity for this all to work out in the end.

[ID: A short no-word two-panel comic page. The first panel is Roy Harper and Oliver Queen sitting at a desk. Roy is holding a clawed arrow and talking about it. In the panel below Oliver interrupts him with an idea for a boxing glove arrow and Roy looks amused but confused. END ID ]

Boxing Glove Arrow has to be a Queen special 🥊

The teen titan girlies in their Original designs!!!! And in my art style I suppose.

Guess which one my favorite is because it’s so difficult….😭

I’m not happy with Ravens design but I tried. I might redraw it some other time.

You know a better Cassandra Cain headcanon than Cassandra Cain speaks ASL? Cassandra Cain speaks Mandarin or Cantonese mostly.

She canonically lives in HK for a long time.

limited phonemes make it easier to learn.

most chinese languages are near fucking grammarless. You want to say ‘i did that?’ You say ‘i did’ and toss in a 了 nearly anywhere in the sentence. There are 0 tenses, 0 genders, 0 conjugations. 90% of this language is a based on ‘does it sound right?’ And honestly if you get close enough people will understand you.

Hanzi is one of the few still used logograph language and by far the most popular. Nearly all others have died out. Thus meaning it’s one of the few languages which uses pictorial depictions to communicate concepts. That’s not a thing in any other extant writing system. I imagine this would be easier for someone who is used to communicating via body languages and sight based interpretations than sounds, because when you read chinese you don’t sound out the letters, you either recognize the character or you start to cry.
