thinking about how as of modern day comics dick's parents falling to their deaths would have been recorded by a million phones and posted on every social medias he would never be able to escape it it's entirely watchable for the entire world all the time and his memories of actually being there and seeing it getting mix-mashed with these recordings that a few hundred people in the audience put online with captions about how it is the worst thing they've ever seen and how traumatized they are etc etc
When Jason first finds out Dick Grayson is his pseudo brother and he has seen the footage and never says anything out loud but he knows he knows he knows
#oh no i saw that crop of a tiktok parent talking abt their kids foiling ‘content’ moments#and now im thinking abt john & mary having a tiktok presence and dick appearing enough to keep up engagement#like they’re not massive influencers or anything#but if you get served acrobat/dance/circus content on the reg you’ve seen them#‘you know that trapeze couple on tiktok? the one with the kid who can do all kinds of flips and shit?#they were doing a show in gotham and fucking died! like their trapeze broke and they fell and died in front of the whole crowd.#and like- ofc it was gotham. what else would you expect from gotham?#the kid? oh yeah he’s okay. some billionaire took him in so he’s probably set for life haha.#but yeah. really fucked up. i bet the circus will get sued into the ground tho#there were a ton of people there. you can probably find the footage if you look.’#ANYWAY#I’m having feelings abt dick as a modern-day commodified child#instead of a 1940s one#oh no i want to run with this#like beforehand a decent number of audience members would know who the graysons were#and like veeeery occasionally someone might recognize them#and after#well it’s not like all that many more people know who dick is#but if they did they probably know about bruce now#so like EVERYONE in his school knows#and all the videos - the fall itself but also like videos about it and about the family and one where the fall is like a punchline#aaand the videos telling everyone to stop making videos bc it’s disrespectful and def at least one conspiracy theory that bruce did it#- all the video have made the rounds at school once he’s enrolled#it’s not even actually THAT many all things considered but#oh no#tim having seen them all in a much more intentional way than jason would have#…….this should have been a post
