Opinion Hour - Dick Grayson’s fursona; improved?

The opinions voiced in this article may not reflect the opinions of the journal

Hello readers, once again I have returned with another overview and review on the eldest Wayne son, Richard ‘Dick’ Grayson’s ( @notnotnightwing ) (see related articles), fursona design and characterization (see related posts).

As per my previous articles on the subject of the Wayne’s and their fursonas (see related posts), I will be giving my two cents on the matter as well as the professional opinion of my trusted colleague and expert in fursona design (see related articles), though they will remain anonymous.

On top of this I have instructed this journal, which I would like to thank for providing me a platform, to interview Mr. Grayson on his thought process behind this new redesign.

Given Mr. Graysons apparent frustration at the previous reviews of his anthropomorphic character (see related articles), this reporter sincerely hopes he has given ample thought to his new design.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at this (hopefully improved) fursona -

To begin, there are several changes from his earlier designs to note;

The inclusion of what appears to be top-surgery scars (see related articles) on the characters chest and a more defined under-coat (see related articles), aka the section of fur on the anthro’s stomach.

There also seems to be more piercings and general expression in these designs, something we commend Mr. Grayson for as his prior art lacked further emotion for the character.

This reporter also finds it prudent to note the change in style from his previous design, and how it helps further the characterization of the anthro, something akin to late 1990’s/early 2000’s emo and scene fashion (see related articles).

I was able to, once again, reach out to the fursona design and psychology (see related articles) expert to ask for their opinion on this new design. Here is what they had to say -

“Good development, [I] like the scars. Very 00’s skaterboy energy but in the best way possible. Can def see more personality in it now.

Main downside is just the 3 facial piercing things, they kinda make it look stuffy, ya know? 7.5/10”

This reporter is still inclined to agree, though I’d lean the ranking closer to an 8/10 for the inclusion of multiple angles and facial expressions.

(interview cont. by Gotham Reports)

As requested by the anonymous journalist, we sent our intern to interview Mr. Grayson on this fursona in order to get a better picture of who this anthro is. This is what he had to say -

“ Q: What is the characters age, name, and pronouns? ”

“ A: Cosmo, 28, he/him they/them. ”

“ Q: And what time period is he from? 90’s, 00’s, 10’s? ”

“ A: 2010’s I guess. ”

“ Q: Are the scars on his chest top-surgery scars or simply there for decoration? ”

“ A: Top Surgery ”

“ Q: Lastly, in what ways does Cosmo reflect you [Mr. Grayson]; their creator? ”

“ A: The trans stuff, duh, how they act..what they say and do. Well, did.

I try not to do any of that stuff anymore at least...And I do have some of the piercings that they have, and some that I haven't shown.

But yeah, some of the stuff that they do I did in the past. And how their mindset works. ”

We can only assume this is referencing the smoking habit and seeming self-deprecating view of himself that Cosmo holds.

When asked what he would like to say to the anonymous journalist who has been responsible for these past reviews, he responded as follows -

“ FUCK YOU COSMO IS PEAK ”

All in all we hope both Mr. Grayson and the public are satisfied with this, hopefully final, part in the story of the Wayne’s and their various fursona’s.

[greyfeu]

hiii all of the family (sorry alfred he wouldnt fit)

[undertheredhood]

any dc character: *confessing something about their past they kept hidden out of fear/shame*

their batfam bff who had already known for a while and is now desperately trying to hide that they knew the truth this entire time: “oh, wow! that is so crazy, i am so sorry you had to go through that.”

My take on stalker!Tim:

Robin!Jason gets distracted during a patrol and doesn’t meet up with Batman, who panics is mildly concerned. Jason doesn’t want to reveal the real reason he got distracted (could be something he was working on for Bruce or just him being a cute baby nerd) so he makes something up the spot. A kid! He saw a kid. It was definitely child shaped. And. Uh. Photography! That’s right, he saw a kid taking photos and made sure he got home safe.

Batman: Photography?

Robin!Jason: Yeah, uh, nighttime photography.

Batman: At midnight?

Robin: I mean, it’s not a school night.

Batman: What were they taking pictures of?

Robin, panicking and going to the first thing he can think of ch just so happens to be last Sunday when Dick called Bruce an emotionally repressed furry: Uh, wildlife?

Bruce is skeptical but honestly he’s seen weirder things even tonight so as long as the kid got home safe…

Jason proceeds to use this same excuse a few more times.

Batman: Don’t tell me, it was the kid again.

Robin!Jason: You just missed him.

Batman, who isn’t feeling strong parental feelings at all: Hrn.

Okay so then fast forward a few years. Jason is on his little murder training gap year and Tim has shown up to the manor trying to fix the disaster that is currently Bruce Batman Wayne. Dick, trying to bond with the kid now that it’s apparent he’s not going anywhere, asks what Tim’s interests are.

Tim: Well, I like photography, and…

Dick, putting two and two together and getting forty-seven: Ohmygosh you’re the kid.

Tim: The what now?

Dick: The kid with the wildlife photography.

Tim, thinking about that one competition he entered a year ago: Uh, I guess?

Dick thinks that’s how Tim figured out all their identities. He thinks he has it all figured out. He does not. Bruce now thinks he has it figured out too. He does not. Tim is unaware there was something to be figured out. Jason is off learning the finer points of poisoning or something idk.

So skip forward some more and Jason is back, minus some murder attempts or whatever because this is crack, and Dick is now trying to get his two brothers comfortable with each other. It is not working. Finally, Dick remembers they’ve definitely met before.

Dick: So, do you remember meeting Tim before?

Jason, whose memory resembles Swiss cheese but is fairly certain he never met Tim before now: Uh…

Dick: He’s the kid! The one with the wildlife photography!

Jason, suddenly remembering the excuse he used several times as Robin: The what now?

Tim, knowing full well that Jason was very dead at the time he submitted anything in a wildlife category: The what now?

Jason pulls Tim into a hall closet to interrogate him about this.

Tim: There’s like five rooms right here that no one has stepped in in a month. Why are we in a closet?

Jason: What, exactly, did Dick mean by you were the one with the wildlife photography, because I’m pretty sure that was just an excuse I made up but now I don’t know.

They figure it out. They also agree to just let that belief be. Jason doesn’t want to admit he made that all up. Tim doesn’t want to admit he thought Dick had gone to his art competition thing before they even officially met. Tim also doesn’t want to explain how he actually figured out their identities because this sounds way cooler. So they decide to just roll with it.

Damian shows up and tries to hunt down Tim’s early photos of Batman. Tim and Jason get really into making it look like he just keeps missing it. Barbara knew about all of this the entire time but no one asked her so she didn’t bother to fill them in.

Everyone else that joins the family after that point and hears the story of Jason and Tim supposedly meeting while Jason was Robin has the exact same response: “Oh, ‘cause Batman’s a furry. Right.”

[hood-ex]

Remember when Damian was with Dick and was basically like, "Everyone else is inept, but I'm not, so I know you're not fine."

Damian saw through Dick's mask 🥲. He knew when Dick told the others, "I'm fine," that he really wasn't. And maybe the others didn't fully believe that Dick was fine, but they didn't confront him about it like Damian did.

[muncherofcontent]

Winged heart au

Linda, watching Nightwing fighting: nice ass.

Wally: do not have lust in your heart- Jesus you're right... How did I not notice it.

Linda: because you were to busy being annoyed with him.

Wally: his family broke my window and had the Wayne's pay for it, I have rights to be annoyed with him and the clowns.

Linda, getting her notes out: say that again? Think Batman and Bruce are dating?

Wally: wouldn't be surprised Bruce Wayne is Batman's sugar daddy.

Linda, kiss Wallys cheek: thank you baby, I have a story to write see you tomorrow!

A week later

Bruce, reading the news paper: Dick... Your central city friend, is he by any chance friends with a Linda Park?

Dick: yeah, best friend since they were in the crib.

Bruce, place the paper in front of everyone: this is what he said, you're grounded for seeing him.

Paper - Dr. West, Nightwing favorite civilian states when the bat crew visited him at his apartment they had Bruce Wayne pay for it to be fix, is Batman the Bruce Wayne hidden sugar baby? By Linda Park.

Batsibs: *laughing*

Dick: you forgot to pay for it with the bat-debit card, how's that my fault. Also I don't live here, I'm just here for breakfast, you can't ground me.

Bruce, face in his hands: why did I have children.

In honor of me not getting a Spotify wrapped here’s what I think the the bats got as their top artist (I know shit about music):

Babs: you can’t convince me she isn’t a audiobook girly.

Dick: panic! at the disco. I can not for the life of me tell you why.

Cass: Chappell Roan. She likes to play Chappell on patrol to fuck with the villains. 

Jason: no one. He doesn’t listen to music. The emo bitch prefers the silence of his thoughts.

Steph: Hozior. Pretty self explanatory I think.

Tim: Green Day. Again- pretty self explanatory. (He lowkey gives me punk dad vibes but nepobaby?? I might be on something)

Duke: same reason as Cass but with Lady Gaga

Damian: Imagine Dragons. I’m sorry. You know it’s true.

I feel you know the drill by now ..... + some furry too cuz, why not?

Ps. I didn't do cat Famian cuz I got tired

[razmerry]

I've been wanting to do a furry series of the Robins for awhile now, because I am a master of animal headcanons and I don't play around when it comes to symbolism. First is Dickie-bird, a ring-tailed lemur!

Acrobatic and agile, always manuevering and bouncing around everywhere, silly little guy

Associated with circuses

Striking patterns, long tail is good for balance and tricks

Quoting directly from my notes: "much like king julien he is a circus clown and a slut"

Jason

Tim

Steph

Damian

[candywafercutie]

furry bat clan!

[tiger-grace]

Everytime I see Dick’s disco outfit I think to myself “oh honey… no…”

faintly reminiscent of watching elementary school boys start dressing themselves and choosing to wear neon orange nike shirts

[undertheredhood]

bruce after gotham war: why don't my children talk to me?

dick who is so done with him: it's the way you act! it's the way you act!
