#dicks anger issues

[allyendergirl]

The person Jason has the hardest time warming up to when he’s in the process of assimilating into the family again, is Dick.

Dick hated him when Jason was a kid. And with all that hatred, Dick reminded Jason of Willis. Sure Dick never laid a hand on him like Willis did, but he sure looked like he wanted to.

The glares of hatred that Jason was on the receiving ends of sent Jason spiraling into a PTSD attack more than once. Dick’s glares we’re always filled with so much more vitriol than Willis’ were. The thing that terrified Jason most about Dick’s glares was that Dick did them when he was sober, unlike Willis.

Dick also sounded like Willis, with his heavy angry footsteps stomping all over the manor, just like Willis’ sounded around the apartment. Dick would throw things against walls, break doors and chairs, rip cabinet doors right off their hinges, something that Willis wasn’t even able to do. Willis would hit and throw things, but he never broke them, they were too poor for that, even Willis realized that.

And the shouting. Dick never got far when it came to shouting at Jason, Alfred or Bruce would always shut that shit down on site. Physically dragging Dick away from him so he wouldn’t say something triggering to Jason. But watching a nearly grown man, practically feral with anger, looking like he wants to kill you, be dragged away from you by your older family members wasn’t a calming sight either. And the sound of Bruce and Dick shouting from behind closed doors was a staple noise during Jason’s time in the manor, just like Willis’ yelling was in his time at the apartment.

Sure Dick’s anger was different than Willis’ anger. Dick’s anger was a righteous fury that was big and explosive like a munitions shed on fire. Willis’ anger was solid and dark, festering and painful like acid forced in your mouth. But that didn’t mean that Dick wasn’t scary. That all of Dick’s traits that he unknowingly shared with Willis didn’t unsettle and haunt Jason.

Dick was never kind to Jason while in the manor. So seeing Dick after Jason’s death, and seeing him filled with joy, looking so soft compared to what Jason knew him as. It was a shock. Of course Jason knew that people can change, just look at him pre and post death. But to see Dick smile at Tim, smile at Robin was like a cold water gut wrenching feeling in his stomach. It was weird. It was unlike the Dick he knew in every way. And yet there Dick was looking after Tim and Damian as a big brother should, when that was all Jason ever wanted from Dick when he was a child. To see Dick give that to Tim and Damian so freely when it was withheld so viciously from Jason, made Jason want to cry. Cry at how unfair it was. Scream to know what had made Dick have such a drastic change of heart? Did Jason really have to die for Dick to want a brother? Did Jason have to die for Dick to see that how he treated Jason was wrong? Did Jason have to die for Dick to realize that he should never treat a child that way? Did Jason have to die for him to be worthy of Dick’s love?

Did Jason have to be a martyr for his younger brothers?

Did Jason have to pretend that Dick’s torment over him just, never happened?

How do you go about mending such a Brocken relationship? A relationship that was barely even there to begin with.

Does Dick even feel sorry for what he did to Jason? Does Dick even realize what he did to Jason?

Will Dick and Jason ever be able to be brothers like this? After all this time, after all the violence?

Would Jason even be able to forgive Dick?

Would Jason be ready to confront that fact that he already has. Because if forgiving Dick, and all the yelling, and the threatening, all the screaming, all the breaking got Dick to smile at him like that, like a brother, like family. Then, it would be worth it.

Wouldn’t it?

I am obsessed with the idea of Dick Grayson, recently become Nightwing, finding out about Jason being Robin and wanting to be angry at him but then Jason is a ball of sunshine and it melts Dick’s icy anger out before he even says a word.

Like imagine him going to complain about it to the Titians!

Wally: so how was meeting the new kid?

Dick(annoyed): it was horrible! He’s so precious!!

Roy: is that juxtaposition?

Dick: how am I meant to be angry at him for taking my place… when he goes and says “Robin is Magic”! And now what?! Am I meant to say that little boy doesn’t deserve that magic?! That little ball of sunshine that could probably power superman better than our sun does!? He deserves it!

Donna: so you’re still annoyed because?

Roy: he’s angry that he can’t be angry.

What if Bruce made Dick go to anger management classes?

Dick pulls an Uno reverse and signs up under Bruce's name

Bruce telling Dick, "Don't let me hurt anyone," before proceeding to hurt Dick is SOOO...

Nightwing AU:

Some new hero, maybe a new member of the JL, meets Nightwing. They see this charismatic young man and instantly label him as a sunshine character, much to the amusement of the Titans.

Nightwing, in 93% of his interactions with other heroes, is super friendly and nice. He's great as a leader and team player. Most heroes, especially the newer ones, gravitate towards him and trust him.

Then this new hero so happens to accompany Nightwing on a mission that goes wrong. The villain does henious, disgusting acts (either to civilians or other bats), and Nightwing's personality does a 180. No longer is the new hero in the presence of a bright and happy Nightwing.

No. Now they have to work with a man boiling in rage and anger issues who doesn't stop until his gauntlets drip in blood.

#dc comics #dc universe #dc nightwing #dick grayson #dick grayson has anger issues #dick uses his “sunshine” personality as a weapon and manipulation technique

[thoughtsaboutbats]

Jason: There is something so cathartic about taking all your frustrations out on someone in a big explosion.

Dick: yeah, but explosive rage isn’t healthy

Jason: no I meant literal explosions

#batfam #jason todd #dick grayson #tim: yeah! totally #dick has a lot of experience with his own anger issues

[donnatroyyyy]

Can I be honest with everyone a second? I honestly think that every instance used to justify calling Dick Grayson the “angry robin” is him being justifiably mad at something that would make anyone who was put in the situation mad.

#like people really be like “oh look nightwing got angry and killed the guy that murdered his brother. paralyzed his ex. and made him think #that he murdered and tortured his other brother. also the guy who’s been torturing and playing with him and his father figure for over a #decade and has killed countless people. but nightwing killed him out of anger he must have anger issues.’’ #like wtf?? #you read all of that and instead of reading someone finally killing someone who’s put him and his family and the WHOLE WORLD through such #misery and abuse and grief for literal laughs #you read someone with anger isssues killing a bad guy cuz he got mad #also while we’re on the topic of this whole thing #Bruce revived joker FOR Dick. Bruce probably wanted to let that motherfucker die more than anything but he didn’t want joker’s death on #Nightwing’s conscious. he saved the person he wanted dead most for his son. #dc comics #comics #batfam #robin #batman #nightwing #dick grayson

Jason, explaining the rest of the family to Duke: "-and he got Dick from the circus."

Bruce, who was only half listening while looking at his work emails, reading the days newspaper, and drinking coffee: "Technically I got him from juvie."

Dick, who just walked into the room and has no clue what they're talking about: "Technically you got me from the police precinct after I escaped juvie."

Jason: "..."

Duke: "..."

Damian: "..."

Duke: "You can't just not elaborate. Why were you in juvie?"

Dick, shrugging and stealing a muffin from Jason's plate: "Attempted murder."

Bruce, still half listening: "Multiple accounts of attempted murder, actually."

Tbh, nothing has made me sympathize more with Kipperlilly Copperkettle than her anger issues.

Cause anger is an emotion we feel when we're missing something. When we need something and can't get it. It's a balm to make us feel better when things don't go our way.

When things aren't fair.

People love to say Jason is “Dick with anger issues” like Dick isn’t literally “Dick with anger issues” himself

#jason todd #dick grayson #brothers !!! #I want Jason to have anger issues but his are not like Dick’s #edit; Jason’s anger isn’t naturally his – it stems from the need to survive and wanting others to live peacefully without the need to surviv #Dicks anger is always there – its a constant struggle getting his anger in control he knows how bad he’ll snap if he doesnt keep it in check #Jason more often than not is more like Bruce in the sense of being able to control his emotions #(which is insane considering he’s the most emotional; but he’s careful and calculating it takes a lot to actually get him angry) #dick is constantly having turmoil within himself; he gets angry and lashed out and says very hurtful things all while not thinking #very similar and drastically different angers #which is why the fandom needs to understand that because Dick is reactionary and will be an absolute ass not Jason

"Nightwing is the nice and happy one, he's the cutest !"

Meanwhile Nightwing vibing, being very well known for his anger issues and the fact that he tends to snap whenever he's angry and in a bad mood:

AU: Dick When Bruce "Dies."

When Tim comes to Dick with his evidence (it's literally just a family portrait) of Bruce being alive, Dick pauses. He's a detective as well. He knows that unless the Waynes committed a lot of in-breeding, it's impossible for a late late late family member of Bruce's to have both the Kane and Wanye genetic traits. It's not possible for someone to look so such like Bruce.

Unfortunately, this would mean that Tim is right.

Dick glances up at Tim and plasters on a sympathetic and concerned smile. "Tim... I understand that losing Bruce is hard, especially with all of the lo-"

"You don't believe me." Tim's voice is filled with betrayal, disappointment, and incredulity.

Dick winces as his gaze drifts away. "I'm sorry."

And Dick is. He knows that the lack of support will hurt his younger brother. He knows he's betraying Tim's trust. He knows what this will do to Tim and to their relationship. Dick watches as Tim's barriers get thrown down, and his face loses all tells. He watches his younger brother put emotional distance between them as a form of protection. He watches the immediate damage and knows that, if he fixed it now, they may return to normal. He knows the consequences of his next words.

"There's a grief counselor in Metropolis-"

"You want to-" Tim cuts himself off as he stares at the older man in shock. "You think I'm crazy."

"No! Tim. I think you're going through a rough time right now and yo-"

Tim's laugh is sharp, and his eyes, the only tell the younger one has left, are full of pain. "I see."

"Tim, I-"

"No," Tim shakes his head. A bitter smile is flashed before his face melts into impassiveness. "It's okay, Dick. I understand."

Dick doesn't think the teen does. If Tim truly did understand, he wouldn't react this way. If Tim knew why he was being rejected, the teen would do what Dick is trying to prevent him from doing.

Instead, Dick is a silent observer to Tim becoming more withdrawn. Dick reaches out to the Justice League and expresses his concern for Tim (while implying that Tim's theories are from a mental breakdown). Dick takes Robin away from Tim and cuts out any support the young man might receive. He knows it will hurt Tim. He knows it is currently hurting him.

Dick still does it.

When Tim returns to Gotham with evidence of Bruce's presence in the timestream, Dick grieves. All of his effort, all the pain he put them both through, it was all for naught.

#dc comics #dc universe #tim drake #dick grayson #dick is trying to protect his siblings from bruce in this one and fails spectacularly #dick just fuels tim's spite and gives him severe trust issues instead #dick still ends up having to deal with bruce #add on the angst of everything bruce ends up doing once he returns :) #add on the unjustified feelings of anger dick feels towards tim cause he brought bruce back #dick just hates himself though

[aalghul]

if I see jason hate then i just type out angry posts on here but if i see dick hate then i start cursing someone's entire life and bloodline

#but guess who my favourite is technically #it's just the blue wearing eldest sibling with anger issues and a thing for taller red heads bond okay. #i can be normal about jason and talia. in a way. but i was born to be too invested in how ppl talk about dick grayson #this applies to a lot of things actually. i'll say it's not productive to try to decide which robin is objectively the best. and then i'll #like every comment that says it's dick. it's not possible to decide who the best detective is but also it's dick. i have no integrity #when it comes to him

[punkeropercyjackson]

You can really when people who're both Atla and DC fans don't read comics when they compare Zutara to Dickkory and think Zuko is like Dick and that Katara is like Kory instead of the other way around

@insomniac-jay

#'b-b-but team mom and dad-'does not erase their actual personalities.also there weren't any kids in the titans in the comics so there you go #as for why it's the other way around:katara is like dick because they're both blue-coded brown characters with eldest daughter syndrome #and extremely kind and extremely mean at the same time.zuko is like kory because they were both born into royalty but taken away from it #and have anger issues and violent tendencies but good people at their core despite their flaws-there's also the emotions based fire powers #seriously fandoms obsession with gender roles when it comes to crossover comparisons genuinely gets under my skin as a trans gnc person #and the fact that i'm also autistic with a special interest in parallels dosen't help #dickkory #pro dickkory #t4t dickkory #anti zutara #dick grayson #katara #koriand'r #zuko #also gonna tag this as: #dick grayson:trans woman extrodinare #and #transmasc genderfluid kory supremacy #for personal organization #batfam #teen titans #ntt #the titans 1999 #outsiders 2003 #teen titans 2003 #atla geekery #lok #the gaang #zuko and katara #summerposting

not sure who needs to hear this but anger is not inherently a "problematic" emotion and it shouldn't always be categorized as a "toxic trait" for narcissism or abusers

#doesn't mean you should be angry ALL the time because that's not good either #like ofc please take the proper steps to help manage any excessive anger issues in a healthy manner but besides that #but if something made you upset for a logical reason then there is nothing wrong about expressing those feelings in a civil manner #that's literally how you work out conflict to get issues sorted out #as long as you're not taking your anger out on people or constantly using it as an excuse for making dick moves on people #yes it can be uncomfortable or frightening to see someone mad - but it's likely something that can be simmered down or managed appropriatel #context: nothing serious except somebody irl said that i'm 'nice except for when you're mad' #so i'm nice except for when i express a human emotion... interesting #it just got me thinking how so often in society people villainize 'anger' as an emotion so much and it just doesn't solve a lot imo #i think it would be more effective if you took that energy into actually talking it out with whoever's mad (if possible) #like most of the time it is merely a misunderstanding or miscommunication #nine times outta ten there is a solution to the issue where a happy medium can be achieved #not me saying this when i'm still getting over my fear of confrontation lol #but yeah hopefully i'm making sense #personal #tw vent
