Oh to spend your life trying to change to yourself for your best friend only for her to get mad at you the second you finally make a decision for yourself…

[gothamite-rambler]

Dick Grayson going through eldest child syndrome.

Dick Grayson: C'mon, take one for the team!

Jason Todd lay on the floor, bruised and exhausted.

Jason: No, I don’t want to. Let the team fail.

Dick: All right then.

Dick Grayson grabbed Jason’s leg and dragged him out of the room.

Jason: No, no, no! Let me rest! No!

------------------------------------------------

Dick: All right, let’s do this. Let’s take down Quilt Man!

Dick left as Bruce remained seated, silently hoping his son wouldn’t take him along. Dick walked back into the room and grabbed Bruce's arm, forcibly pulling him out of the chair.

Dick: Come on, I’m not doing this alone.

Bruce: I hate the Quilt Man! He’s your nemesis.

Dick: Shut it, and let’s go.

---------------------------------------------

Barbara: I’m not going to sit through the Star Wars prequels, and there’s nothing you can do to make me. I stop my chair from being rolled.

Dick blinked for a few seconds, then nodded. He proceeded to lift Barbara and her wheelchair with ease.

Barbara (remembering how strong her friend is): God damn it.

Dick: You will see the good in these movies.

Barbara: When pigs fly!

---------------------------------------------

Damian kicked his legs as Dick carried him into the doctor's office.

Damian: I don't want to get the booster shot! I don't want it!

Dick: I don’t care. Bruce is paying me to bring you here. Behave, or I won't take you out to eat.

Damian stopped kicking and screaming, crossing his arms in anger as Dick sat him in his chair.

---------------------------------------------

Dick: Tim?

Tim buried his head in his pillow.

Tim: Nope. Nope. Eat a cactus.

Dick (calm): Tim, you're going on this run.

Tim: You may be my hero, but not in the morning! I'm not running in a marathon with you. It's not happening.

Tim attempted to sleep, but Dick grabbed his leg and dragged him out of bed. Tim groaned as he was pulled out of his room but didn’t put up a fight.

[smilesheartshugs]

Okay okay okay, so there are fics where the bat fam slowly realizing just how much tim is hiding, but like are there any where the bat fam slowly see dick’s happy go lucky mask slowly crack over time and they just go “oh shoot he need some serious help”

I want a fic where dick reaches his breaking point and (probably Jason) is the first to see past the carefully crafted mask and take the time to help him or force dick to take care of himself. Maybe have some go ol bird snuggles.

I just want a fic where dick gets to take a break from the good big brother act and has someone take care of him! Wether it’s Jason with his physically bigger and stronger brother act or Wally as a “good friend” that may or may later form into a romantic relationship i don’t really know which one I crave more of. No I really want Jason to force cuddle Dick to sleep and dick to just sorta realize “oh, it’s safe here” when he finally gets a cuddle with his brother and his body kinda just melts into the cuddle.

Gah I’ll think of a better way to put my thoughts down later, or forget about this entirely, I have to many tabs open in my head!

[stardvstbby]

we need more fics of Dick and Tim bonding over shouldering too much of the family duties. but instead of them venting about their experiences it’s them pointing out the signs in each other until they realize “holy shit we are the same”

Dick: you really need to take a break. between running WE and going out as Red Robin you barely get any time for yourself

Tim: you’re one to talk, the way you’re holding a full time job, parenting Damian, being a vigilante, and making constant trips between Blud and Gotham i’m surprised you even have time to think

Dick: yeah but that’s my job as the oldest! i’m happy to do it, and it’s been like this forever so i’m used to it! you’re still young, you need to take care of yourself and live a little

Tim: okay sure but i’ve handled my shit since i was 7 so really that’s been my normal for a while. also i am taking care of myself, being CEO is great for my resume and building a long term future. you don’t even need to have a job rn we have enough money

Dick: Tim that’s depressing. let yourself have fun, you’re still just a teenager. also i will Never let Bruce have financial hold over me again

Tim: hello trauma! you’re the one who needs to have fun, you’re not even old yet. please take time for yourself every once in a while. i’m exhausted just looking at you

Dick: wait you sound like me?? why do you sound like me????

Tim: turns out Eldest Daughter syndrome and Middle Child syndrome are pretty similar. if i sound like you then maybe i Do need a break

Dick: that’s it, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, we’re ordering pizza and watching the entire Lord of the Rings series

[late-tothe-party-07]

"Wukong is MK's older brother. Older brother Wukong."

WRONG!

Wukong is the middle child, and proud disappointment of every family gathering.

MK is the baby

Nezha is the overachieving older daughter done with both their crap.

[angrymiau]

the boy wonder: dick grayson!

aka: my design of him (casual), his nightwing costume, and his robin costume!

part 1/? because I'm planning to draw my headcanons of the rest of the family too! 💙💙, my headcanons and thought process below the cut ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡ (I'm insane) (I'm gonna ramble a lot)

FIRST !! His casual outfit (+ other small things) (this is going to be very long)

first things first i wanted him to be very blue because it helps me differentiate each sibling (+ steph) and have a color pallette because I'm not a character designer at all and if you ask me to combine colors I'll cry in agony, so Dick obviously got blue!! HOWEVER I didn't want to give him bright BRIGHT blue because i wanted dick to look, not soft? but approachable. I hc him to work with kids, maybe as a teacher or as an instructor, because I can't see him as a cop at all (aside from undercover maybe, which if i remember correctly is why he was a cop in the first place) in the long-term—and so I used colors that are mostly soft / not very bright because they're not very stimulating for kids or could distract them too much, and can also tend to be sorta soothing / calming ?? soft colors can help kids focus and soothe them

which is what brings me to my other point, which was drawing with small details to make him look more welcoming and approachable and not threatening at all, at least not as dick grayson, was giving him bushy eyebrows, messy hair and big(?) eyes!! there's not big explanation to that, just that when giving him small details like those i try to follow the theme i gave him in the first place

Aside from that, I like to think his bad fashion sense is a conscious decision. As in he knows how to dress properly, and he can design good suits, but he consciously chooses obnoxious things or things that don't match just for the giggles. Why not. (I'm a firm believer that Discowing should come back it was a great suit). He dresses very well but some days he will show up at the Manor looking like an unicorn threw up on him and being a walking fashion crime and acts unaware to it. Why not.

Other small thing is the necklace!! i was going to draw it to be a four-leaf clover but couldnt draw it so it just ended like that. It has a picture of himself + his fam, a picture that Tim took, so Dick edited Tim's face into the photo with photoshop so in the middle of it there's Tim's floating face

I also hc Dick with another height! I know he's 5'10", which is close to 178cm if I'm correct, but I actually hc him to be shorter, and to be small since he was a kid but having The Growth Spurt when he was around or so! It's only a few cms, I just hc him to be 174cm lol, it's only a 4 cm difference

Last thing which is totally self-indulgent, those dark spots on Dick's neck, knuckles and elbows are because I hc him to have insulin resistance! Because I do since I was a kid, and because why not. I looked it up and it's apparently called 'Acanthosis nigricans' (im fully healthy btw dont worry 👊), I just wanted Dick to have it

I also hc Dick to be genderqueer and bi&demisexual but that has nothing to do with his design

Now!!! Nightwing!!!!!

This was more easier and there's not a lot of different things, but I added some things I like,

Since Dick has long hair, and I'm a firm believer of the fact that hairstyles change how someone can perceive you/recognize you (or maybe I just have bad memory and can't memorize faces at all), I made him tie his hair but also have it a bit more messy, to change from his usual hair look (which is leaving his hair down)

Aside from that, I just added more blue to his suit by adding a few things, his collar (which is the best part of his discowing suit!!!!!!! aside from the colors!!!!), and gave him back his gauntles which I can't draw so they look strange! That, and I gave him a belt with small.bags??? things??? (HOW ARE THEY CALLED IN ENGLISH) where he keeps some stuff he needs like smoke bombs etc etc, they're not filled with those trinkets and are very light so they won't bother him when he does his flips, and it's tied very well so it won't fall off (it happened). so now he can store things on his belt and on his gauntlets instead of his sticks that I forgot how they're called in english

and now...... The Child (aka Devil incarnate)

Following the same theme of looking approaching and good and blahblah but even more. I made his hair curlier because unlike Older Dick who actually tries to brush it and fails miserably, when he was younger he didn't care and climbed every single furniture in the Manor whenever Alfred tried to force him to brush it, inspired by the fact I used to hate to brush my hair as a kid

He also has those dark marks because of the insuline resistance, and I gave him knee pads (?) because there's no way Bruce would let him out like that with only That costume as protection. Overall I didn't change a lot from the canon design?

He's also short, because why not. It makes it funnier to think about being a criminal and a literal 8 year old who barely reaches a bit above ur hip beats your ass. i wouldn't show my face ever again .

I also hc that he Put the fear of god into the rogues gallery (i dont remember how theyre called as a group in english im gonna cry). while Jason did that with the gotham criminals(not rogues, but others, he was cute and all but also very VICIOUS against them, especially those who messed with kids . robin gave him the magic but the magic to break their collarbones, but this isnt about him), Dick was very very VERY annoying to them. the Joker hates him because Dick loudly says how the Joker sucks as a clown and has an obnoxiously long list of every single way the Joker fails as a clown. The Riddler hates him. Penguin hates him. Everyone hates him. They hear a kid laugh and are like '😨 ROBIN' even though Robin is now an adult man. he gave them ptsd. u know that creepy kid laugh? thats exactly how dick laughed to creep them out. it also creeped out the gotham criminals but Dick was specially mean to the gotham rogues . imagine being one of them and after going through the nightmare that is meeting an 8 year old (truly traumatizing) that later kicked ur ass, is hearing robin get sleepy and having to go home because he has a bedtime. a kid with a bedtime beat you. a kid who has to go to school and has to learn how to count to 1000 beat you. I would cry

A small thing I like to think even if it's not included is that in one of his pockets he keeps candies !! both for him and for kids he saves with batman. Batman checks he's not eating all of them because what's worse than an angry and hyperactive eight year old is an angry and hyperactive eight year old mid-sugar rush. no one recovered after that night.

That's all !!!! THANK U FOR READING MY RAMBLES!!!!! kisses u in the cheek /p

I don't know too much about elding ring but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Malenia isn't under Miquella's influence at all that's just what being a sister does to a motherfucker

[crimeronan]

some of you are like "aw, you've written a super close codependent sibling relationship" about princess AU luz and hunter, which is a totally fair interpretation. however whenever i'm writing them it's Always from a default of "it's actually weirder that you guys aren't into each other" and "this is a tortured romance that happens to be completely platonic."

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

In the fathers day moment there's a line where Cove tells off Cliff for trying to act like mcs dad, and when you give him the fathers day card, Cove is like oh i didnt mean anything bad, we can totally share dad.

But im thinking about the angst opportunities for if you decide to not give it to him after Cove says that. If he's saying that, he must not WANT to share his dad, giving him the card would be pushing his boundaries, that kind of thing.

[punkeropercyjackson]

Can't stand niggas who say they have 'eldest daughter syndrome' and then abuse their younger siblings under the guise of 'tough love/normal sibling behavior' fr.Gworl that's not Eldest Daughter Syndrome,that's Becoming Your Parents Disease

[iloveyousomuchitskillingusboth]

i might just dislike this arc with sota's 'family'. which is cray because prior to this sota was my favorite

i can't tell if i like ichinose-ke no taizai or not

[oddly-casual]

This entire scene makes me hurt but I wanna talk about this part in particular because it drives me insane.

Like- Splinter knows they aren’t just running errands. He can see his sons sneaking out thinking their slick and he found all their human stuff bc he’s nosey and if his sons won’t talk to him he’ll just have to investigate himself right?

So Splinter knows his sons are hiding something from him because duh- and he knows they want to be apart of the human world but he’s scared they’ll get hurt so he tries to bring the human world to them.

And you can just see the cringe and discomfort in the boys eyes because their father keeps trying to make them stay but it’ll never be in the way they want it, but they clearly feel bad.

And the real kicker is when Splinter tries that thing he did in the beginning of the movie, where he presses his sons about the truth but he specifically looks at Leo, like the screen cuts to Leo and even Raph looks at Leo because Splinter knows his eldest son would never lie to him.

But then he does

Leo lies right to his fathers face no hesitation and Splinter gets that look that just screams ��i lost them’ because even if his son’s disobey the rules and don’t talk to him anymore, Leo was like Splinter’s insider into what his kids are doing and how to keep them safe. Splinter lost their trust.

But now even Leo is shutting Splinter out, so Splinter has been completely walled off by his sons and to Splinter he has no idea why because he’s just doing this to protect his kids.

Looking at it from Leo’s perspective, he has a strong sense of Justice. In the beginning when their father grills them about where they’ve been, Leo caves immediately even though he knows it’ll make everyone mad at him.

He braces himself for it too. There’s no reward in telling the truth but Leo does it anyway.

But Leo is a teenager, and teenagers tend to act in their own self interest. So when Leo keeps snitching and it only leads to punishment on all sides

Isolation from his brothers, distance from his father, of course Leo is going to cut his losses and stick to the thing that brings him joy. Possible acceptance and April. It’s also the most we see him bond with his brothers since Leo isn’t trying to follow their fathers rules.

I’m a Dick Grayson kinnie because i too want to adopt the feral little assassin baby gremlin child who would chop my hand off if I ruffled his hair but DAMN IT I WILL TRY. Damian is but an extra spicy kitten with katanas who could and would kill me but do I care??? NO! He’s just a baby!!! A wicked smart, brave, kind, badass, traumatized lil guy who needs hugs and hair ruffles and cookies and new knives <333

the eldest daughter syndrome plays a part too ig

[varpusvaras]

When I say that Dick is the eldest daughter, I mean that he is me. I'm the eldest daughter and I relate to him on an uncomfortable degree.
