Staying up until ungodly hours reading a 100k unfinished slowburn bc I told myself I would sleep once they finally kissed but the author never got to that part they’ve barely held hands after 14 chapters. And you’ll never guess how the 14th chapter ended… They met other people to dissuade their feelings for each other. How is that even possible im losing my mind. I’m gonna shoot a hostage or whatever

And it’s a rare pair so that was like the only quality fic out of there. Now I have to go to work and care abt normal things

Redrawing the 70’s trio as the 2009 trio!

I might do more this was fun and I’m going through a dick+babs+steph+damian = happy family 🫶 thing rn. Bruce can stay dead, sue me ✋😐🤚 dare I say peak batfamily moment (except having no Cass is killing me… but no jason, no tim, AND no bruce is so alluring… jkjk. Unless)

I don’t feel like actually drawing this but I do feel like talking abt my au where dick never became robin so the Robin mantle never exists so the first teen vigilante in Gotham is spoiler and the iconic dynamic duo is actually “batman and spoiler” so im posting it anyway be theyre everything to me rn

Bruce, High on pain killers: I hate to tell you this, but one of you is adopted
The Batfam:
Dick: .. only one?

To think that there was a whole decade long period where no one in the batfam was adopted. Bruce was technically childless

Dick: WARD

Babs: ADULT WITH A PARENT

Jason: DEAD

Tim: PARENT

Steph: PARENT

Cass: in the middle of Bruce and babs’ custody battle

Damian: BIOLOGICAL and not introduced yet

Duke: PARENTS

Alfred, stitching up Bruce: and what do we think you perhaps should have done differently, master Bruce?

Bruce, delirious: I think I should have died with my parents

I lowkey see Dickbabs the same way I see Tim’s Red Robin run…. Like it happened and it’s important that it happened but it’s smth to be developed and moved on from, not the status quo for the character. A transitional period that’s not even necessarily good for the characters themselves, but important for character development.

I feel like if it didn’t happen, it would be a loose end, so I like Dickbabs for what it was, and then I even liked their fun flirty angsty exes thing afterward. But that should’ve been it… they each very clearly have better love interests that make way more sense. Actually I would prefer them single than with each other at this point 😭 (Thomas Taylor is no friend of mine)

And to be clear I’m talking abt canon 2000’s full grown nightwing/oracle Dickbabs not retconned batgirl/robin. They were never meant to be endgame and no amount of retconning will change that in my mind. But they were still fun for a second so im reposting this drawing since im yapping abt them 🫶
