I Own Nothing


Because Anime!

Dick is fluent in many languages. The team simply presumed that it was because of his Robin training and for the most part they are right.

Only Wally knows that the real reason Dick is fluent in Japanese is so that he can watch anime without having to read the subtitles.


He Can What?!

Little known fact: Jason Todd can rap.

Tim was walking past his door one day and heard him wrapping to an Eminem song. Completely shocked Tim walked down to breakfast with a stunned look on his face.

"What's up Timmy?" Dick asked cheerfully.

"Jay... can rap."

At Tim's words Dick did a spit take (when did he even get the glass of water?!), slammed his hand on the table and all but screamed "He can WHAT?!" before sprinting up the stairs.

When Bruce came out of his room for breakfast he heard arguing and the sounds of a fight coming from Jason's room. He opened the door to find Dick and Jason rolling around on the floor, Dick screaming 'just do it!' and Jason screaming a stream of curse words and death threats.

Closing the door again Bruce decide that it was far too early to have to deal with this crap.


A Tad Eccentric

Everyone always thinks that Dick is too over the top, too flamboyant, too expressive. They say it's childish and annoying. But his family love him for it.

Sure it gets on their nerves from time to time. Like when Dick challenges the workers at Wayne Enterprises to 'Office races' on the rolling chairs when Bruce is actually trying to get some work done. Or when Tim is trying to do homework and Dick decides that he wants to plait his hair. Or when he hides Jason's helmet somewhere in the manor to force him to come home. Or when he randomly snatches Damien into a hug. yeah he does annoy them.

But as they remind people Dick was raised in a circus, in a family of entertainers.

When it really boils down to it though they all know the reason why Dick is so over the top all the time. Gotham is a hard place. Fighting criminals, the things they see, the line between good and evil that they have to toe to protect... it takes its toll on them. It's hard to see the light when you are so busy staring into the darkness. Everyone needs a reminder to smile. And that's why Dick acts the way he does.

Behind his overly happy smiles Dick is actually a serious person, he is after all a hero. So by making others smile he makes himself happier.

Of course saving people makes Dick happy too, but there's something about the smile that pulls on Bruce's lips when he gets dragged into a race, the laughter that bubbles out of Tim when he sees his reflection - hair plaited with fluoro hair bands holding it all in place, the smile that Jason tries so hard to hide when he agrees to stay the night at the manor in exchange for his helmet, the way Damien sighs dramatically before hugging him back tightly, that warms Dick's heart.

So when people complain about Dick being too over the top, too flamboyant and too expressive the other Bat's just shrug and say, "Nah, he's just a tad eccentric is all."


A/N Hey hi! So again these are all headcannons so I don't really know Dick acts in the comics, but... yeah.

Also I realize that these are pretty Dick centric at the moment. What can I say he's my favourite, let me know who you want to see more of.
