i’ve never so violently wanted the entire world to Look At This Thing as i do with the silt verses
it’s truly one of my favorite fictional works like. ever. and i’m constantly fighting the urge to grab everyone i see by the shoulders and start shaking them while aggressively begging them to listen to it because what else do i do with myself after experiencing something like this
#like how does something this good just exist and i can listen to it whenever i want#i owe everyone who’s been involved in the making of this podcast my life#and the community is so incredibly kind and talented its absurd#i could read tsv analysis on here forever you guys are crazy#no ones doing it like jon and muna#its just so surreal to me sometimes like why isnt everyone listening to this all the time forever!!! where am i#if horror tragedy is your thing. hello. you should silt it up.#i dont even like podcasts that much lmao#the silt verses#tsv

can’t think of anything to say other than it was everything I could have ever expected and wanted and hoped for. seeing them perform truly is an electric experience and I am so, so grateful I got to be there. I’ve never felt such overflowing joy and love in one room before and that truly is down to what a one-of-a-kind group Starkid is. I’m so happy and a little emotional that it’s over but like it’s sung in days of summer, “don’t wanna see you go but it’s not forever, not forever” ⭐️💜
#Starkid#starkid innit#star rambles#don’t really get Emotional and or Sincere on tumblr but I needed to put these feelings SOMEWHERE#and gods the Starkid community is amazing#I saw so many mind blowing cosplays and met so many kind and excited people like me#it was really beautiful to see a theatre full of people bound together by our love for this group#I got v emotional when they closed the show with gotta get back to Hogwarts#and Clark asked us all to sing for Darren#truly like. hearing everyone get the lyrics and the timing and the notes right just bc we all care about this so much..gods#that’s something incredibly special and I’m v grateful to be a part of it#also they performed our doors are open AND back on top AND a new rogues medley so that was thrilling for me personally#AND SIDEKICK#AND SPICE GIRLS’ WANNABE#like holy shit they gave us everything we wanted and MORE#really and truly a once in a lifetime experience for me#like hopefully I get to see them live again but hey#if I don’t??? then I have these memories that are so joyful and vibrant#yeah. it was totally awesome 🤘

Hey #GreekMythology tumblr, I want ya’lls help on something :).
So, I’ve been thinking about starting this massive project. Like, would take years and years work of writing and research and sheerly finding the time and motivation for. And as I was thinking about the specifics, I thought: why not bring others into it as well? Because as much as I am interested in a lot of Greek Mythology, there are things that are simply not my interests and might cause writers block and my goal for the project would to be as fun as possible. So, here we are.
What is the project exactly? Well, hopefully, it’ll be a long Ao3 series/fic focusing on the individual perspectives of various figures/events in Greek Mythology arranged in (semi/good enough) chronological order. I personally intend to write for Poseidon in his/my version of the Titanomachy and (maybe) some events that follow, if you want a little bit of an idea on what I’m talking about.
The limits on this are almost completely free, all that I ask are that each of your submissions are one POV only (and by that I mean your main subject’s POV). Why do I say this? I say this because that is what I want this project to look like. It doesn’t matter if it’s First, Second, or Third POV along with all the other variants of those three, my main focus is on the individual experiences of these individuals. Kind of like character studies, if you know what I mean. I’m intending for it to be mostly formal but I will absolutely accept crack admissions that I will probably put into its own series to Separate the Vibes for whoever comes by :).
Ultimately, this is a completely open-ended project that has absolutely no deadline. I’m about to go to bed so I can’t go into too much detail, but if you want to DM me or send any asks, I am completely okay with that and we’ll all flesh out the specifics we go :).
What is my overall purpose? Not only is this project made for my own individual purposes of learning more about the gods and other Greek Mythology writers, but it’s also the chance to spread the word of other writers. I know how hard it is to get specific audiences, especially when you’re shy, so this is a chance for your work to be stumbled upon. Each post on the eventual Ao3 fic will include your socials, how to find you, and your other general works on either ao3, tumblr, wattpad, or other :)
Can you participate even without socials or a tumblr page? Yes you absolutely can :). My asks will always be open to anons and I will do my best to give credit when I eventually post everything :). If you want to post multiple submissions or simply just want a trackable (between works) name to your writing, just sign something at the end. It could be a name, it could be a potential username, I don’t mind at all :)).
How do I submit things? Well, the best way would be to DM me :). I have a personal writing email separate from most things that would be perfect to either share a google docs with or to just send a copy-and-pasted copy of it. Otherwise, I take asks. None of them will be posted unless asked or we’re ready to so it’ll be safe to just drop them off in! It’s also where I take questions :).
Any other things to note? I’d really appreciate some other moderators and editors :). There’d only be like two or three of each and we’d have to know each other decently well before officially starting, but some help would be appreciated! Also, I’d like to keep a working ‘spreadsheet’ of who’s working on what just for people to see what’s going on :). Maybe some people can collaborate or it’ll encourage those niche writers to write :). A third thing is that most questionable stuff is accepted. I’d personally rather not handle all those things other than posting it so it might be a while until I can officially accept (consensual and/or graphic) ✨spicy stuff✨ but, other than that, I’ll take any of it (also, it’s Greek Mythology, almost all of it already happened). If someone’s willing to take over the ✨spicy stuff✨ then please DM me so we can work out the details and see if it’s a nice fit :)
Honestly, that all should be it. The main point is that I’m trying to start up a long-term project on Tumblr and Ao3 about what is essentially Greek Mythology character studies that not only allows for mass communication across a wide audience, but also (hopefully) gets some recognition for the smaller writers :). Feel free to DM me or send me asks with questions but for now, I shall sleep
Tagging: @bluebellstudio @thirteen-deaths-later @0lympian-c0uncil @happyk44 @h0bg0blin-meat @sworeontheriverstyx @deathlessathanasia @gotstabbedbyapen. Sorry if I tagged you and you want nothing to do with it, I just wanted to get it out there /pos /gen
#ya know this is the one time I regret deleting all my old accounts :/#I had such a large (ish) following on my old tumblr (neptunes-sea-of-writing btw if you recognize it)#that it’s kind of intimidating to restart again :(#need to do it tho. i just gotta#but I haven’t really written-#anyway that’s not this post’s problem#tagging everyone to try to get it out there#even if you aren’t interested#it’d be appreciated if you share anyway to get to a larger audience :)#i just. wanna build that community and know more things#as much as I’d love to tackle this project all on my own#I know I can’t and it wouldn’t be beneficial for me#but since a large portion of it is gaining knowledge#why not ask it from others?#tagging everyone to get it out there#also the general tag is going to be:#Neptune’s Big Ass Greek Mythology Project#bc why not :)#but seriously#consider it if it’s your thing#and if it’s not that’s fine#I remember being a small writer so intimidated to find people#and I’m feeling that feeling once again having started my entire platform over again :)#we’ve all got this. we’ll make it work /pos#greek mythology#also#you can write for absolutely any fandom#idc#as long as it’s one consistent pov of your focus character :)#also I’m like incredibly sleep deprived and tired rn ive been up since four am and its nine pm rn

dear everyone,
a while ago, i hit 1.5k followers on this blog.... i didn't want to get too sappy but i really wanted to write something, so:
the fact that over one and a half thousand individuals follow me is truly insane and too much for my little brain to grasp. i want you to know that i'm so extremely thankful for each and every single one of you and this makes me so so so happy. this is way more than i ever had expected when creating this blog.
i made this account back in june purely for my own enjoyment; i created it mainly because i was disappointed in myself for having stopped writing, since writing has been such a big part of my life since forever. ever since i stopped writing about kpop, i had barely written anything at all... i made this account just for fun with no pressure and no expectations, and before i knew it, this blog turned into something so special for me. the blog, all of the people i've met through it and all of the moments we've shared, all mean the world to me.
honestly, i'm not sure what i would do right now if i didn't have this blog and this community. these last few months have been pretty rough for me, but i've always been able to come back on here and gain a smile or some laughter. you've all helped me so much, even if unintentionally – every single interaction helps me push forward. i'm eternally grateful for every single like, comment, reblog and ask i've received on here, and your kind words really do mean the world to me. i don't know where i would be without you.
i hit 1k a while ago but didn't celebrate it properly, so i decided to make an 1k/1.5k-celly that i will be releasing soon (when i have more time to actually write)(hopefully at the start of december). please stay tuned!
and once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so so so much. you truly are the best. 🧡🧡
#i never got near this much support on my old blogs (or wattpad accounts for that matter)#my most liked fic on my kpop blog had a little over 300 likes#and now my most liked fic here has over 3k notes#its all so insane to me#i'm so incredibly thankful for this community#i truly do not know how i would've stayed sane if i didnt have you all and this all#the support and sweet words i've been receiving is so so kind and i'm so so thankful#i read through every reblog & comment & ask i get and they make always me feel so warm#i get so giggly and kick my feet even at someone writing like “this was alright” in the tags of a reblog#i have a photo album saved for my fave tags & comments for when i feel down :((( gives me so much happiness#i love every person who's ever even shot a glance at my blog#hope everyone has a wonderful day 🤍🤍#thank you again!!!! from the bottom of my heart

Your forehead touch of Mario and Luigi made me ascend to another plain of existence. I’m just 😫😭
The way you portray their relationship. With just that forehead touch alone. Mario has this deep love for his brother that I feel it makes him emotional, like this deep emotional love towards Luigi while Luigi always looks ecstatic to always be around his big brother he admires so much.
I live for that, it’s beautiful. I hope you continue to make amazing art and prosper, may your love of their relationship never dwindle for I think your version of their relationship is the best one I’ve ever seen.
I couldn't have said it better, Anon. You've summarized it perfectly. 🥹💗 And omg, really? 😭 That's such an honor, I'm very touched by your kind words!
With this amazing support, I don't think I'll stop making fanart anytime soon. ☺️🙏
Wishing you the best too~ 💐
#asks#mario#luigi#fanart and fanwork#I know I've said it before but I'm SO thankful for this community ;_; 🤲💖#Everyone is so incredibly kind!#I love you all- I really do 🥲💓#Thank you guys 💫

What is your favorite fanwork of any kind from:
a complete stranger- a friend or mutual on tumblr- a tangible friend- yourself-
Oooooh, thank you so much for asking, Nikki!!❣️❣️❣️
As for a complete stranger, I'm honestly not sure!! There's just so much good art and other creativity that I've come across, that it's hard to say. The closest thing I think of, is, well, I suppose I wouldn't call them a complete stranger, but @cosmicriff created this amazing Invader Zim animatic based on the script and voice acting of an unmade episode. It's incredible and hilarious and everything I ever needed in life.
As for a friend/mutual, I think we can all agree that @drawthething/@drawthethingdoppelganger makes some of the best art in the Bob's Burgers community, hands down. I was going to make a separate post about this, but she could be an illustrator for a children's book, I'm serious. If I could one day get my hands on a book that DT helped illustrate, it would probably be the best day of my entire flipping life. It's so hard to choose, but my favorite thing she created might either be the AJR Gene she made as a gift to me, or the Boblin Comm she did for me, because come on, it was the cutest stinking thing on planet earth. The way they're looking at each other has me giggling and kicking my feet every time. Their expressions are just so cute and soft.
As for a tangible friend, my best friend, Matilda (again, not her real name for privacy, pffffft), has written some of the best things ever. We collaborated on a huge writing project, which is a Gravity Falls fic. I'm really hoping to be able to finish it one day, because that would be great. She's such a great friend and fantastic writer. Honestly, she reminds me a lot of DT. If Matilda is my writing friend, then I consider DT my artist friend❣️
As for me?? Sweating as little, 'cause now I have to appreciate myself. I'm not actually sure, but one of my new favorite pieces was the recent Huskerdust Loser, Baby artwork I made. I wasn't sure how it was turning out when I was making it, and then it ended up looking really nice. Another one I'll mention is probably my Gene as Wybie Lovat from Coraline piece, because I thought it was very cute, especially with the cat on his shoulder. I also put an actual background there for the first time in awhile. Okay, I didn't actually draw it myself, but still.
#asks#thank you so much again nikki❣️#i love appreciating everyone in this community y'all are incredible#i must admit it was also kind of nice appreciating myself a bit too#i still have to emphasize just how grateful i am for everyone in this amazing amazing community#we're just like one big happy family and it's the best

one thing i will never understand is why the general consensus is that kfp 3 is by far the worst in the trilogy. not that i particularly care whether or not other people like the pieces of media i like as much as i do but i literally just dont get where its coming from. like normally when i see criticism of pieces of media i personally like i can understand where people are coming from but with kfp 3 i just dont get it. like the things people critique it for i either straight up find not to be true at all or were just as true for the previous movies. like im convinced at this point that i watched a different movie than everyone else.
#the only real critique i have of it other than the fact that some of the jokes dont really land is that the conclusion of everyone in...#...the panda village just suddenly learning chi and po with no prior experience with chi does all kinds of complex stuff with it and...#...defeats kai#but its pretty in character because hes shown to be very spontaneous#and always seems to be able to figure things out in the heat of the moment#you could say it feels unearned bc he didnt really work towards it but i think it works because the power comes from his friends...#...and family working together to save him#so its kind of the culmination of the community hes created and how he has brought so many people (animals) together#so basically yeah its a little rushed but it still works#i think a missed opportunity tho is having tigress show the others how to do chi#bc hear me out its implied that while not a master of it she does know how to use it#bc when she kicks kai in the jade palace battle it actually does some damage and the visual effects are similar to those when characters...#...are explicitly using it in the movie#i kinda wish they had elaborated on it more#but i get kfp 3 wasnt really about her it was about pos relationship with his dads#me once again being incredibly normal and regular about these movies

giving a different shout out to the kid in my class who gave a 3 minute speech about how much he hated the monarchy at 12 years old. that was awesome
#it was a good speech! from what i remember anyway#our teacher liked it#wonder how he's feeling about everything now. probably nothing positive#oh actually only mildly related but its related nonetheless so storytime#cw for religious homophobia#everyone in our year had to do a speech on a subject of our choice#i chose the queer community because i was such a good hashtag ally#the girl i considered my best friend at the time chose to do one on how much she hated gay people after learning my chosen subject#which was. interesting.#she did the whole i just don't agree with the lifestyle choices bc its sinful but i dont hate the people themselves thing#upon hearing this my teacher immediately put her in her place in front of the entire class#i wont repeat the story he told us because it was a) very personal and b) incredibly tragic. but needless to say she shut up after that#it didn't change her mind unfortunately but it DID end up being an example of the kinds of things used in a good speech#(anecdotes + emotive language + direct engagement with the audience)#despite being improvised#i genuinely love that teacher so much he's done multiple very cool things for me and my friends this being only one of them#btw irl friends i will elaborate in dms if you want#pluto talks#q

Evening plans: lay on the floor and have Feelings about a Discord server apparently
#I'm just???#not for the first time either but idk man#i love it so much#joining this event is genuinely one of the best things to have happened in a long time#everyone is so sweet and kind and talented and encouraging#i've spent my entire offline life shoving every outward sign of happiness and enjoyment into a little box and duct-taping it shut#and even a lot of my online life tbh#because every time i show anything more than a polite smile suddenly i'm too much. too loud. too weird.#but now I suddenly have access to a community full of people who share the same interests#i can info-dump at people without getting shut down or looked at funny#and i can listen to other people info-dump and if I have questions they're happy to talk instead of getting mad that I want to know more#and i'm starting to realize how much it genuinely hurts to spend so long masking so hard#but in this community I can let autism brain go brrr and it's incredible#file: storm has thoughts

(Context: I am Level 1 autistic and sometimes experience verbal shutdowns)
Things I appreciate someone doing if I’m upset and cannot talk:
- only asking one question at a time
- asking yes/no or binary questions instead of vague ones (Ex: “do you need space?” instead of “what do you need?”)
- being okay with not receiving an answer at all, and moving on (or rephrasing questions if necessary)
- accepting gesture, sign language, and/or AAC without pointing it out as unusual or joking about it
- offering comfort items or distractions, and allowing me to choose whether or not to use them myself
- treating me with respect and not talking down to me; there is a difference between being gentle and treating me like a child
- not assuming that I will regain speech as soon as I feel better
- letting me joke around and participate in conversations without speaking, even when I look happy and calm
- choosing communal activities that are low-key and don’t rely on verbal speech, such as watching a show, painting, or looking at memes together
- understanding if I need space, and leaving me be if I walk away from a conversation or leave suddenly
- letting me use comfort items and stim, even if it looks weird to you
- understanding that saying words =/= having full speech again; I usually regain echolalia before being able to generate my own sentences
#this is not a vague post this is a thank you#to everyone who has been patient with me when I’ve had a verbal shutdown#because I have time and again been met with incredible kindness and understanding as an adult#from my dnd groups. from close friends. from club members. from classmates.#the vast majority of people have been kind and patient and have let me calm down and communicate in the ways I can at my own pace#like in DND last year when I shut down after a tense fight because I was scared a character was gonna die#I couldn’t talk when we split up the loot after. so the DM read off the loot one by one and had us raise hands to claim it.#no teasing. no pointing it out. just smoothly running with it.#or when I was at my friends house and wound up crying in the middle of a convo and shutting down#and they gave me space to calm down and let me sign/text to talk. gave me a plushie and showed me Pinterest boards for dnd characters#no judgement. no pressure. just hanging out and calming down until I was okay. I was eventually able to tell jokes with sign and text.#or when I was in theatre and my prof saw I wasn’t okay and asked if I needed to go home. and then told me to go home when I couldn’t respond#and the autism club members who didn’t act awkward or rude about me being quiet while they chatted about movies. and patiently waited for me#to sign or get a couple words out so I could participate in the conversation.#or my classmates in the bio lab that night who treated me like normal and compared notes with me and let me type answers to their questions#to everyone who has been patient with me: thank you. I love you. it means more than I can express.

I cannot stress how much of an impact this will have for the aspec community. It shows a character who has quite literally seen almost every inch of the universe, met all kinds of people, has been in all kinds of relationships. And what makes him the happiest is settling down with his best friend. He doesn't need romantic love or a relationship. How incredible is that? To have a show, in this sex obsessed day and age, do that?
When the entire world is telling aspec people our "lifestyle" is wrong or depressing or sad. When everyone is trying to "fix" us or is pitying us. When aroace erasure is so deeply rooted in society that you can scarcely find a fictional pairing where the fandom isn't crying their eyes out because they didn't get together or didn't kiss, as if their relationship is somehow lesser or inferior because of it.
I could go on and on about how earth-shattering it is to have one of the most popular and beloved characters in media choose platonic love. To show how platonic love and friendships are so powerful they even defied physics, probably even deeper and more powerful than romantic ones.
"This is the happiest I've ever been" Me too pal. Me too

normal people: struggle to let their new s/o get close enough to break their heart the way a former s/o did
me: struggling to accept the generosity and mentorship of a fella should it result in the way I disappointed my former mentor into no longer speaking to me🫠🥴
#this fellas teaching me a type of art that I was introduced to at my former museum#and he’s so happy that I care about what he does and he’s very proud of my interest/efforts#so he keeps telling ppl he’s teaching me and showing them my progress#bc he’s just very excited#(even tho I’d prefer to keep expectations low and not have everyone in the world know/expect something from me)#but my point is it’s 🤢 that I occasionally wonder if he’s told museum paul or someone he told then told museum paul#and I kind hope he has 🤮🤮#idk#one of my favorite compliments of all time#was my former/favorite coworker saying that if anyone was going to replace museum paul and match his level of enthusiasm it would be me#and idk idk idkdkiidkd idk#I’m just a little bit like mp look my interest is/was genuine I really care look and I’m doing my part to carry the tradition on look I was#the admin support for these traditions and came to you with zero knowledge they even existed and look I’m so ingrained in the community now#that one of the best guys alive doing it is teaching me look MP look#😕😖🤮🤮#anywya really though#this guys so incredibly kind and he’s so enthusiastic about me learning#and it’s wonderful but a little part of me a little deeper down is like okay but just be prepared to not be surprised or crushed if you do#fail him or fall out one day#bc MP is still the most sincere person I’ve ever met and the current state of things doesn’t cancel out anything but#all that sincerity all that mentorship all those positive things also don’t cancel out the fact that we are at 180 degreees from where we#used to be#mp#anyway

#hi :) long time no incredibly long winded and overly detailed oversharing in the tags post <3#and what better way to welcome new followers from the aita comment (hi new ppl. i havent had nonbots follow me in so long)#thinkin abt that post that's like#'which person that you would never like romantically in your life would people ship you with if your life was a show'#in reference to my own life ofc. and besides the obvious answers of 1.) people will ship anything together so literally everyone#and 2.) my close friends that i jokingly flirt with or just have more life partner-y plans with (eg. being potential roommates)#i think of H. who i did in fact at one point have romantic inclinations towards. but has now gone in a weird direction of kinda resentment#and it's just kind of messy to think about for me. i think a big portion of it is the fact that the time i had romantic feelings for them#was right in the time where they were insistent they were exclusively attracted to men only and i was very much not male aligned then#so i forced myself to stamp out all those feelings because we were incompatible in that sense. and then a few years later#they came out as attracted to ppl regardless of gender and i figured out that on occasion my gender is in fact masc lmao#but by then i had moved on and they started growing into a different person#and our relationship and way we interacted evolved too and now im here. in this place where they honestly sort of piss me off#it pisses me off how they will simultaneously justify their other relationships that they seem so discontent with with phrases like#'oh but the other person is just going through a lot right now. they're just busy. i'm honestly just exaggerating. i care about them a lot'#and also complain nonstop about those same people they claim to be so understanding about#and constantly tell me how their needs aren't being met. and then shut me down when i tell them to like... communicate those needs#and i keep thinking. is there a world where i managed to hold my seemingly unconditional love for them from those past years.#is there a world where i didn't grow tired of them. where i stayed patient. where i became the person they could lean on without complaint.#is there a world where the idea of ever actually being in a more involved place with them doesn't make me bone deep exhausted#nevermind a long term monogamous romantic relationship. the idea of spending a night together sounds so draining#and it's just. wild to think about how we got here. that once upon a time i wanted to spend every waking moment talking to this person#we texted each other nonstop. i thought that everything they said was so wonderful. that i didn't and couldn't have enough of them.#and now... trying to get them to respond to me feels like pulling teeth. making plans together is a nightmare.#and when they talk... it's either incredibly surface level feeling quips or a mutual disagreement or straight up one sided talking#i guess a part of it is the fact that we've both focused our efforts elsewhere. that we aren't nurturing this friendship like we once were.#but i wished it was because we built a solid enough foundation for us to keep coming back to each other#instead it feels like they've just assumed that i will always be there. because i haven't given them any reason to believe otherwise.#so it's fine if they ignore my requests to be less negative or more responsive or to give two shits about my health and comfort#or remember what my schedule looks like or any details of my recent ongoings or any promise they've made to me over the years

In my opinion, the butt jokes are incredibly incredibly tired.
So here are several fun facts about Dick that you can use for comedic effects/running jokes instead:
His hatred of Capes. Listen we are talking about Dick wore a yellow cape for 9 to 10 years in universe Grayson. The moment he changed his costume, he straight refused to ever wear a cape again, the only time he had to wear one, it was as Batman and it was very very frustrating for him.
You know that when he watched the Incredibles with Lian and Roy or Damian and Edna Mode came on screen with her hatred of capes, this was his reaction:
Someone else finally understand him. She instantly became his favorite character.
His tendency to put unknown substances/evidence in his mouth and being able to identify it by taste and his knowledge of what Heroin taste like (yep still not over it).
It's both impressive (the fact that he can actually identify something by taste alone is impressive) and gross and even his closest friends don't understand why he is the way that he is, Do we think it's the Bat training or do we think it's just Dick (tm)... I feel like it has to be just Dick, right ? considering everything in Gotham is a toxin of some kind ? How many heart attack do we think he gave both Bruce and the Titans with that ?
Dick Grayson namer of superhero things: Listen, I just learned that Dick named the Arrowcave and now I just kinda love the idea of a running joke that every time a classic superhero in contact with Robin has a goofy name for something superhero related, it probably comes from the 9 year old superhero who thought it sounded cool.
The Titans are never letting that go and Dick doesn't want to talk about it (but he secretly still really like the names, they were cool when he was 9 and pretty practical when you think about it, thank you very much).
Everyone has a crush on him (tm): Honestly it is pretty funny that everyone and theirs entire family have a crush on Nightwing (and also pretty consistent canon since Raven in ntt). The reaction of the batfam is annoyed because that's gross, it's Dick, theirs brother/son, and the Titans are amused (Donna, Vic, Garth and maybe Wally) or maybe sorta part of the people who have had a crush on him (Kory obviously , Roy, Raven).
You do need to be careful with that, but I think if you do the opposite of what DC is usually doing, you'll be fine.
Also you can also includes the disastrous first date with supergirl in that. She also had a crush on him and they date was so horrible that he considered changing superhero identity because it was so embarrassing (truly one of the greatest plot-point on Superman/batman world finest honestly and this series is genuinely my favorite modern/current series)..
His petty side when he doesn't like someone: Listen, Dick has a petty side, ask Helena circa Outsiders (2003), Talia (always), Jason circa the late 2000s (Morrison era) and Azrael (also always). When he doesn't like people but has to work with them, he is going to be a little shit because they have to know he doesn't like them. it's important. and the comedic potential of Nightwing, one of the most competent, known and admired hero of the community being so petty is excellent. 10 out of 10, I need him to work with someone he hates again just for the fun of it.
The last one is just an headcanon and do not have basis in canon as far as I know:
Sometimes, as an adult, Nightwing says Holy shit in front of a classic superhero and that superhero does a double take because they are so used to him saying Holy goly batman (and that include Batman).
