REDRAW! I just love Jaybin, FAVORITE BABY EVER/says the one who always draws Damian...

Does it even count as a redraw? Honestly I saw the image in a lower quality and without Batman in the background so I just thought he was smiling happily. Oh well.

Oh my god Jaybin in Dicks cape- im sobbing 😭 can i perhaps request a continuation with Dick dressing Jay in a custom Nightwing suit for 'undercover purposes' because "someone might get suspicious if you dress as robin" but we'll all know the real reason 😗 maybe discowing if you like the suit or think Dick could handle Jay going anywhere like that 😅

I just enjoyed this way too much, thanks for this request anon!♡ Naah, Dick would never let Jay go around in a deep v neck costume 🤣 but I love the idea of jaybin as nightwing sidekick ~

Big Bird and his Little Wing

[magnoliasandarson]

The books are better!

Dick Grayson doesn't like reading stuffy classic novels the way his Jaybird does, but he watches movie adaptations so he can talk about them with his brother. Jason yells that he's the worst- but he's smiling, and Dick would do anything to keep his Little Wing grinning like that.

Little Wing

Okay, so I’ve been looking some at the nicknames the batfam use in fanfiction vs in canon, and what I’ve discovered about “Little Wing” is fascinating.

So, first off, this is a popular fandom nickname from Dick to Jason. And it does get used that way in canon.

In 2005, Nightwing #101-106 was the storyline “Nightwing: Year One” with stories from, as you can probably guess, Dick’s first year of being Nightwing.

While there had been previous stories on how Dick and Jason met (see: Batman #416), they took this opportunity to make a slightly different one.

(Side note: I’ll never understand the tendency to create a half-dozen, slightly varying stories about the same occurrence. Like, if you’re changing something major, go for it. But why a new story that’s pretty close to the old one, but just different enough to definitely be a different story?)

They meet on a rooftop, neither of them expecting the other, and then they work a case together. It’s a little antagonistic at the start (see: neither expected the other) and honestly one of, if not the most antagonistic beginnings for them. Which, if you read it, it’s not all that antagonistic.

(Still haven’t figured out where the angsty resentment thing fandom seems to think happened came from. If you know, let me know, but all of their canon beginnings seem pretty chill after a couple hours tops.)

Right, so all that to bring in the nickname. Dick uses it twice in Nightwing #106 (May 2005) only a few pages apart.

They’ve barely met, Dick doesn’t know Jason’s name yet (not that he would have used it anyway - “no names”), and he’s not about to call this kid he just met by his name, so Robin’s off the table too. That leaves the nickname.

Which I think is really interesting. Because as far as I can tell, Dick never calls Jason that again.

See, and that’s not even the most interesting part. Because the only other occurrence of “Little Wing” (that I can find) came six-and-a-half years earlier.

It’s not said out loud, but in the Secret Origins 80-Page Giant (December 1998) that tells the origin stories of the original Young Justice team, Tim’s story is titled “Little Wing.”

And it’s not said out loud or in narration. It’s just there as the title. So, make of that what you will.

Mostly, I think it just interests me that it was first used to refer to Tim.

(And while Dick doesn’t call Tim “Little Wing,” he does call him “Little Brother” at the end of the story, which I like even better.)

Nightwing #106, Nightwing: Year one (Part 6 of 6)

The first appearance of the iconic fanon big brother Dickie with the ‘Little Wing’ and not to mention him willingly acknowledging Jason as the next ‘Boy Wonder’. It was just a few panels before this when Dick decided to be the role model he had and wished he had.

And let’s not forget this later one-

Dear every artist that draws bruce as an old bat who is often tormented by young birds and little baby bats,

I love you and you are doing the lords work.

Amen.

[fatum679]

I DON’T understand what’s gotten into you. I’M NOT YOUR FATHER, JASON. I DON’T need teenage rebellion.

Every time I think about the relationship between Bruce & Jason, I cry and get depressed 🥺 🦇🪽

Bruce, how could you say that? You said Jason wasn't your kid.

I can't stick to one canon, I have everything tangled up in one tangle of sharp barbed wire. Bruce & Jason / father & son all media types 💔 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
