A Winter's Dawn

I've learned to love falling... I mostly share things about Nightwing and the rest of the Batfamily, though the rest of DC, occasionally Marvel and other comics, and cute animals appear sometimes, too... No sideblogs, we jumble it all together like men ;)

We interrupt the regular queue because it’s a special day today. It’s March 21st. Which means

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DICK!

Happy birthday Dick Grayson! This year I decided to give him a golden flying monkey as a gift. Guest starring half-naked sweet Joey and not-so-grumpy Damian ;)

Dick’s birthday used to be November… Then it turned into the first day of Spring. His Earth-16 birthday is on a December. Guess, that’s 3 times the celebration for him, then. XD

A little late but oh, well. Better late than never.

To the first Robin, protector of Blüdhaven, and everyone’s big brother.

Hope you guys like this! <3

That Daring Young Bird on the Flying Trapeze

  • Jules Léotard’s Birthday: Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, and Travis Price (Various Continuities)

Today would have been Jules Léotard’s 180th birthday (1 March). Léotard was a French acrobatic performer and aerialist who developed the art of trapeze, popularized the one-piece athletics wear that now bears his name, the leotard, and inspired the song: “The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze,” also known as Dick Grayson’s theme song. To celebrate the day of his birth, I thought I would make a collage of all the instances when the song was quoted or sung. To my knowledge, which is rather limited, there are six different incidences – there may be more, but only these six comes to mind. All but one surrounds Dick Grayson with the outlier going to Tim Drake. “He’d fly through the air with the greatest of ease, That daring young man on the flying trapeze. His movements were graceful, all girls he could please And my love he has stolen away.” – George Leybourne Image Used:

There are several recordings of this song on youtube. I like Bruce Springsteen’s version.

listen up chucklefucks, i just gotta say. I'm not defending zir, but I'm sad zie deactivated. Like, i get that trauma lasts a long time and the good stuff is maybe easy to forget?? so maybe it's just like that. And my beloved mutual @/pompeyspuppygirl made a post about zir clout chasing behavior, which is pretty shitty behavior if it's true (and if we're canceling someone it had better be pretty severe). anyways now that zie's gone pompeyspuppygirl said it was okay to make this post (again, thanks ppg everyone go follow her --really everyone in this whole drama is worth a follow)

ANYways yeah zie was my mutual and like, reblogged a lot my smaller posts. (that isn't to discredit what my mutual pompeyspuppygirl is saying about zie clout chasing ofc). AND idk zie was always reblogging art from new and undiscovered artists and reblogging donation posts (which if you don't know is really bad if you're trying to clout chase...) (again, though, ppg is my mutual i believe her.) and like, remember on valentines day i tried to blaze zir posts and zie told me to stop because zie didn't want the posts to go viral? (but again ppg is my mutual and has a lot of proof in the Google doc I'm not trying to disprove that I'm just saying what else I know)

Idk, like i feel like a lot of people loved zir's blog a while back, bc like zie DID make some good posts?? So idk why everybody's acting like they aren't even a little bit sad.,. like ngl this feels like maybe all the reasonable people left to Twitter and all the Twitter refugees who love drama came here??? shdfhhdhdhdhdh haha but idk...look idk, i just, julie i do miss you. idk. more thoughts later sorry I'm getting worked up shshs

Here's the original text because honestly this is impressive and I don't think it fully hits unless you know the Shakespeare.
