Fellow Chicken Nugget

Wally, slightly tipsy: Hear that, Roy? wE hAvE tO Be qUIeT.

Roy: Oh come on, Dick, you think the big bad Bat's going to yell at us for coming here late? It's not like you Bats ever sleep anyway.

Dick: No, not Bruce.

Wally: Alfred-

Dick: It's Duke.

Roy: Duke? The kid in the yellow? With the light show? You're afraid of him?

Dick, shhhing them: He's the day shift. He's sleeping. If you fucking wake him-

Duke, appearing at the top of the stairs: Hello Richard.

Dick:

Wally: Sorry to wake you, Duke.

Roy: We're just heading to bed now.

Duke: *walks away*

Wally: The great scary Nightwing afraid of a kid.

*at dawn*

Duke: *opens door to Dick's room where Wally is sleeping next to Dick and Roy is sleeping on the floor*

Duke: *flashbangs the fuck out of them*

Wally: *screaming*

Roy: *screaming*

Nightlight 💡

Jason and Duke sleeping inspired by something I read where Jason used Duke as a reading light but I’ve been searching for like an hour and I can’t find it for the life of me idk if it was a fic or on tumblr😭. If anyone knows what it is PLSS lmkk🙏🙏

Without the glowing below vv

I just feel like he would never intentionally put himself in a situation where he couldn’t be able to be Gotham’s protector. That man hates being unprepared and caught off guard.

having him already dead by the 5 year time jump (which also doesn’t make any fucking senses) adds a weird gap between jason and dick that is much larger in the comics. they’re about 5/6 years apart in the comics but in the show, there’s only about 5 years between dick and TIM, which means the gap between dick and jason is even smaller and messes w almost everything. their dynamic, the tension between them when jason became robin, their AGES when jason becomes robin, their relationships to others.

a quick fix i think they should have done is have jason be the season 2 robin instead of tim. dick usually becomes nightwing around 16/17 so him being 18 in season 2 means jason can be robin for a few years and be around his canon age where the cave blows up, and that should have been what killed him, which adds a nice side arc for dick. they could have even delayed bart arriving by a couple episodes and have him showing up be the thing that revives jason, similar to superboy prime in the comics.

would also mean jason and roy would be around the same age when roy is rescued and once jason is resurrected, makes them being outlaws together much cleaner as well.

it would make sense too if bart and cassie are about 13 when jason dies, so they can still line up w being tim’s age, who’s usually about 2/3 years younger than jason. i just think it works nicer than the way they did it.

After one of the Robins accidentally killed a cop and a robber, the Robin ban turned into an active manhunt, this attracted the Originals who decided to train them

Duke trained under Dick who figured out his identity as he's the only nameless and faceless Robin after Nightwing's identity was outed, but all of them including the Originals were tricked by Dick who handed them over to GCPD so Dick can take on the problem by himself since he is the original Original and therefore claimed responsibility for everything so far... and since Duke can jump off a bridge to escape, Dick took him to the top of a skyscraper

Oh yeah before that story, Dick has met Duke before when defending amnesiac Bruce from sleeper agents and the Robins helped. Dick told him to stop this whole Robin thing, to which he asked what gives him more rights than him and his friends
