Summary:

Goth King @IisaQueerMess
So I‘m gonna visit family in Gotham soon. Gothamites, assemble! Give me your survival tips!
Katy @AllyCat221b
@IisaQueerMess Tip Number one: Don’t come to Gotham!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet another DC Verse Social Media/Twitter Fic, featuring the Batfamily and others.

Notes:

Hi!
Please ignore the terrible title, I was not very good at title-ing today.
I've been reading a lot of social media fics recently and I wanted to try because "why not?!". However, I have a few things to say about the many, many headcanons I applied into this fic, which you can find in the notes at the end of this fic.
I hope you enjoy this, even though it's silly and stuff. As usual, comments and kudos are a writer's food for the soul and heart!
Loads of love,
Lotta

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

              @IisaQueerMess Tip Number one: Don’t come to Gotham!

              noodles @runningonramen

              @IisaQueerMess avoid any really dark alleys, don’t walk alone anywhere, don’t wear all black and don’t wear anything themed or too               colourful. also get some self protective help like mace or a knife

              NightwingStan @thebuttsmatch

              @IisaQueerMess @runningonramen also get a gas mask

Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓  

Hello folks! Thanks for all your concerned messages about the hostage incident at my brothers’ school yesterday. I can assure you that they are all alright. The police and Red Robin and Robin took care of the situation.

 

Tim Drake @TimDrakeWayne ✓

Just wanted to say that no, I was not harmed in yesterday’s hostage situation at Gotham Academy. Thanks for everybody’s concern. You will be happy to know that nobody – students or teachers or other personnel – were seriously harmed.

 

Queen of Kickass @artycrock

Damn! Don’t think we ever had a hostage thing while I was at that school!

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @artycrock don’t tell me you are upset about that?!

 

Lesbos @lesbianarchi

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @artycrock sorry for that

              Robin Watch @RobinWatchGC

              @thebuttsmatch I don’t post thirst content at least! I just post about the Robin!!!

              Red Hood @ilivedbitch

              @RobinWatchGC yeah cause that’s not totally stalker-y or anything. The kid’s not even a teenager! Geez…

Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

I am currently confined to bed rest as per orders of Alfie and I’m veeeeeerrrryyyyy bored so I’m taking questions!

              Lizzabeth @CottonHead

              @flyinggrayson bed rest? Why, what happened? You okay???

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @CottonHead I may have broken my leg while trying a new acrobatic trick. But I’m fine, I  promise!

 

              James @BinderDipity

              @flyinggrayson from a fellow acro: favourite medium?

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @BinderDipity Hello fellow acrobat! I mean, I’ve been a trapeze artist since I was a kid, so that would be the obvious one, but I’ve really               been enjoying aerial silks recently! Do you have a favourite?

              James @BinderDipity

              @flyinggrayson I am still young tbh and haven’t had much chance to experiment, but I like uneven bars and aerial hoop ^^

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @BinderDipity those are great too! I wish you best of luck in your further acrobatic journey!

             

              Puppy Dog Tail @magickdance

              @flyinggrayson how many languages do you speak?

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @magickdance my first languages are Sinte Romani and German, and I later learned English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Russian. I also               picked up some Swahili, Mandarin, and Cantonese and a little bit of ASL.

             

              Salisbury @enbyenvy

              @flyinggrayson favourite animal???

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @enbyenvy that’s a tough one. We have a lot of  pets because my youngest brother loves animals and I love them all, but if I’m honest, I               have to say horses and elephants. Haly’s had two elephants, Zitka and Eleanor, they were amazing!

              Salisbury @enbyenvy

              @flyinggrayson elephants? Cool! Do you have a photo of your pets?

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @enbyenvy here you go! This is most of them – only the cow is missing.

[Two photos are attached to the tweet. The first is a digital photo of a framed photograph and shows a maybe seven-year-old boy with tanned skin and thick black curly hair sitting on the back of a small elephant. A bigger elephant is visible in the background. The second photo shows a living room sofa. On it sit the three Wayne boys – Dick, Tim and Damian – surrounded by animals. Tim is holding a bright orange kitten, Dick is holding a tousled-looking white cockatoo with only 60% of his plumage intact, and Damian has a black-and-white tuxedo cat sitting on his lab and one hand is resting on the head of a huge black Dane.]

              Salisbury @enbyenvy

              @flyinggrayson They’re all so cute but EXCUSE ME DID YOU SAY COW?!?!

 

              Lesbos @lesbianarchi

              @flyinggrayson lowkey afraid to ask even though WE supports a lot of projects but… what do you think about queer people?

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @lesbianarchi I am queer people ;)

              Lesbos @lesbianarchi

              @flyinggrayson WAIT HUH WHAT

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @lesbianarchi yup, I’m pansexual! And this just goes as a general note right here and now: My page is a 100% safe space for queer and               questioning people! You are valid! <3

              Lesbos @lesbianarchi

              @flyinggrayson gonna admit, I did not see that coming

 

              Riodan @felttippymy

              @flyinggrayson favourite books or films?

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @felttippymy for books, I am currently re-reading “Krabat and the Satanic Mill” by Otfried Preußler which is GREAT by the way… and for               films I really like anything Jim Henson related. Also “Knives out” is an instant fave.

 

              Silver Moon @SilMoo

              @flyinggrayson @magickdance wait, why do you speak German as your first language?

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @SilMoo my family is German and Sinti Romani. I wasn’t raised in Germany (though because the circus I grew up in did travel and perform               there a few times) but it was important to my father that I learned his language, same as my mother wanted me to learn hers.

PEOPLE! PLEASE TELL ME IF I’M CRAZY BUT THIS IS JASON TODD RIGHT?

[Attached to the tweet is a shaky photograph taking at an odd angle, showing Red Robin in full costume at a coffee shop, sitting across a young man with ginger hair. One strand in the front is stark white. They are in what seems to be a heated conversation]

              Maria @miamaria

              @RobinWatchGC I think Jason had black hair? But that man looks like him A LOT. Except, you know, Jason Todd died.

              NightwingStan @thebuttsmatch

              @miamaria @RobinWatchGC No, I think that might actually be him! He looks A LOT like Jason! Wow… this is creepy… wtfwtfwtf

              Sing Me a Song @outlandishdish

              @miamaria @RobinWatchGC @thebuttsmatch well, Buzzfeed already did an article

Is Jason Todd-Wayne actually alive? A surprising appearance creates uproar!

Is it possible that the dead rise and come back to the living? One might believe so after seeing the photographs of a young man with red hair and a distinct white streak of hair that was seen together with Wayne adoptive son Richard Grayson yesterday evening. The young stranger’s face looks identical to the face of Jason Todd, who supposedly died five years ago after mysteriously disappearing! Could this really be ]

 

              Robin Watch @RobinWatchGC

              @outlandishdish well, at least if this isn’t Jason, I am not the only one who thought it was.

             

              George @daenischedogge

              anyone else think that redhead could just be dick graysons boyfriend of something

              Valarie @RieIsHidden

              @daenischedogge I thought he was dating Nightwing?

              George @daenischedogge

              @RieIsHidden wait what

              Valarie @RieIsHidden

              @daenischedogge yeah, I mean – Nightwing is in Bludhaven, where Dick Grayson lives. The whole “the butts match” theory where people               say Dick IS NW adds up to them having the same gym routine and all that? Never heard of it?

              George @daenischedogge

              @RieIsHidden just that bruce wayne is dating batman

 

Queen of Kickass @artycrock

Why are so many people in my DMs asking about @flyinggraysons relationship status all of a sudden?!?!

Tim Drake @TimDrakeWayne ✓

My family and I are happy to announce that, despite what we thought, my brother Jason is, in fact, alive and well.

 

Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

Many of you have been bombarding us with this question but now we can confirm that Jason Todd is alive. We will issue an official statement soon.

 

Gotham Globe @GothamGlobe ✓

Wayne Son Jason Todd Wayne has been declared legally alive again after re-appearing. Bruce Wayne says “we are so happy to finally have him back. We gave up hope already.”

Robin Watch @RobinWatchGC

FOR ANYONE WHO DIDN’T SEE YET HERE IS A SCREENSHOT OF BRUCE WAYNE’S  FULL STATEMENT REGARDING JASON. ALSO I WAS NOT CRAZY I DID SEE HIM WITH RED ROBIN. NOW BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED ROBIN WATCH CONTENT.

[the screenshot is from an online newspaper, though it’s not visible anywhere which one.

“I never thought this could actually happen, but I can openly confirm that my son, Jason, is alive. I… this is overwhelming. We did not think this was possible, and frankly, we gave up hope. When Jason was kidnapped those five years ago, we were searching the globe – but then a body was found that was… it was burned beyond recognition, but they found Jason’s DNA on it and… we had to accept it. And now, we have him back, and – we’re so very happy to have him. My son… my kids’ brother… I’m sorry, I still can’t quite believe it.

As it turns out, Jason has severe amnesia and doesn’t recall what happened to him past his kidnapping, so we don’t really know how he survived or who even kidnapped him. All we know with certainty is that, half a year ago, he managed to get to a hospital in Ethiopia, where he was treated and then, upon recalling being from Gotham, he was aided in getting back home. From there, a series of luck and help of Red Robin and Nightwing brought him finally home. ]

 

Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

No, I don’t remember anything, no, if I did, I wouldn’t tell the whole fucking internet, no, I did not bleach my hair at home and get ginger on accident, yes, the white is real, no, I don’t like when you talk about my PTSD, yes, I am happy to be home. Did that answer everything?

Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

In all honesty though, I’m REALLY messed up in the head still and would appreciate if you guys did not ask/remind me about/of that whole situation. I’m home and alive, that’s it.

Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

Also I will probably use this Twitter for rants a lot (and they will be related to literature like 69% of the time, so – if you don’t like that, you can leave)

 

Buzzfeed @buzzfeed ✓

10 Times the Wayne Family surprised us all!

              Lesbos @lesbianarchi

              @buzzfeed did you seriously put Jason’s resurrection on number 3? HOW IS DICK GRAYSON’S COMING OUT MORE SURPRISING THAN               SOMEONE DEAD NOT BEING DEAD?!?!?!

              Puppy Dog Tail @magickdance

              @buzzfeed in what way, exactly, was Tim Drake becoming CEO surprising? It’s not like he is known for being insanely smart and having               great grades and helping Bruce for years prior?!

              Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

              Ey, yo, is there a reason you listed me loving Pride and Prejudice and Greek Literature as more surprising than me fucking coming back               from the Dead?! No? Just checking.

              All levelled up @JestersMom

              @buzzfeed did you really put Tim dating that Conner kid on there? Why was that surprising? Why? Because Conner’s not a Gothamite? I… I               don’t get those lists. Ever.

ADHD Monster @bartallen

Did anyone notice how Kid Flash is in Bludhaven a lot lately?

              Science Geek @wallywest

              @bartallen Yeah, and did anyone notice that Impulse and Blue Beetle are teaming up way more than usual lately?

              Farmboy @ConnerKent

              @bartallen @wallywest Why does this feel like a personal fight between you two? Are there bets going on I did not know about?

              Queen of Kickass @artycrock

              @ConnerKent no I think they are just being stupid again

Helena Schlieman @HelenaSchlieman

So, I was invited to the most recent Wayne Gala or actually I came as a Plus One with my Grandpa/legal guardian who was invited because he’s an anthropologist and is friends with a curator who is best friends with Bruce Wayne, ANYWAYS

              Helena Schlieman @HelenaSchlieman

              @HelenaSchlieman So I was standing by the buffet and ngl I was looking for the Waynes because he, of course I was, and Tim was with               Bruce the whole time and Damian was like standing in a corner scowling, and Jason was talking to a lot of people which I guess was to be               expected

              Helena Schlieman @HelenaSchlieman

              @HelenaSchlieman so anyways, the Gala was held AT WAYNE MANOR which is huge and so I had to go to the bathroom at some point and               got lost and I sort of stumbled into Dick and a redheaded guy making out in a hallway?!?!

              Helena Schlieman @HelenaSchlieman

              @HelenaSchlieman most embarrassing moment of my life. But they were super nice about it when I screeched and started spouting out               apologies at a speed that would make the damn Flash green with envy?!?!?! I… I AM SO SORRY GUYS

Anyone notice how the Wayne family is just… basically what a perfect representation in a TV show SHOULD look like?!

              @runningonramen interesting – please go on! ^^

              noodles @runningonramen  

              @flyinggrayson OMG OMG OMG

              noodles @runningonramen

              @runningonramen @flyinggrayson I’m okay now. Sorry.

              noodles @runningonramen

              @runningonramen @flyinggrayson I mean that at least two members of your family are openly queer, but like, it’s never a big deal – also               all four of Mr. Wayne’s kids are POC I think.

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @runningonramen Ah, okay, gotcha! I’ll take it as a compliment then!

              noodles @runningonramen

              @flyinggrayson it was 100% meant as a compliment!

Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

It has come to my attention that a lot of people are speculating on my sexual orientation now that my three older brothers are outed. I have been watching from the sidelines but it is getting invasive and I am asking you to refrain.

              Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

              @damianwayne geez, kid, you ever use normal language?!

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @RealJasonTodd I am using language that is adequate to the situation, Todd

              Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

              @damianwayne yeah but like, this is the internet. You gotta dumb it down or people won’t understand what the hell you want

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @RealJasonTodd since you haven’t stopped chanting “dumb it down” into my ear for the past sixteen minutes I will do as you ask.                             Everyone: I don’t want you to keep saying I was gay!

              Barbara @BabsG0rd0n

              @damianwayne would it be so bad though? Being gay? Hypothetically?

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @BarbsG0rd0n not you, too, Gordon! I AM NOT GAY

              Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

              @damianwayne I’m totally just doing this because I know it annoys you but ARE YOU SUUUUUURRREEEE?!

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @RealJasonTodd yes, Todd, I am sure. I can provide evidence, even.

              Tim Drake @TimDrakeWayne ✓

              @damianwayne oh no, now it is serious

              Science Geek @wallywest

              @damianwayne please tell me you did not write it up as a spreadsheet

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @wallywest don’t be ridiculous. It’s a pro and con list.

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓      

              @damianwayne Dami… sweetheart… that’s not really how you determine if you’re queer or not.

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @flyinggrayson what other way would you do it, then?

              Tim Drake @TimDrakeWayne ✓

              @damianwayne I’m gonna be the ass and ask: What are your pros and cons, demon spawn?

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @TimDrakeWayne I am aware you are being sarcastic, Drake.

              Tim Drake @TimDrakeWayne ✓

              @damianwayne I’m actually genuinely interested what you wrote down as a counterargument for you being gay

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @TimDrakeWayne fine. Since you have joined in to Todd’s annoying chanting… I have a crush on Wonder Woman.

              Tim Drake @TimDrakeWayne ✓

              @damianwayne . . . . . . that’s your argument for not being gay?

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @TimDrakeWayne it is a valid argument. Wonder Woman is female. Me, a male identifying person, having a crush on her means I cannot be               gay since that would mean me being attracted to male individuals.

              Barbara @BabsG0rd0n

              @damianwayne Damian… EVERYONE has a crush on Wonder Woman. I know I do.

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @BabsG0rd0n @damianwayne Yeah, me too, Dami. Big fat crush.

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @BabsG0rd0n @flyinggrayson Timothy doesn’t have a crush on Wonder Woman.

              Tim Drake @TimDrakeWayne ✓

              @damianwayne uh, yeah I do?!?!?!?

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @BabsG0rd0n @flyinggrayson @TimDrakeWayne TODD doesn’t have a crush on Wonder Woman! He is asexual and aromatic!

              Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

              @damianwayne I may be aro-ace but if Wonder Woman stepped on me I would thank her and ask her to do it again. She’s amazing.               Obviously I have a crush on her.

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @BabsG0rd0n @flyinggrayson @TimDrakeWayne @RealJasonTodd FATHER doesn’t have a crush on Wonder Woman!

              Dick Grayson @flyinggrayson ✓

              @damianwayne you KNOW that’s not true, Dami.

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @BabsG0rd0n @flyinggrayson @TimDrakeWayne @RealJasonTodd then what about Pennyworth? Surely HE has no crush on Wonder               Woman!

              A Penny’s Worth @AlfredPennyworth

              @damianwayne actually, Master Damian, while I might not be referring to it as a “crush”, I hold Wonder Woman in the highest esteem and               appreciate her, and her company for that matter, highly.

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @BabsG0rd0n @flyinggrayson @TimDrakeWayne @RealJasonTodd @AlfredPennyworth I have decided to abandon the Pro and Con list.               However, I still don’t appreciate being called gay unless I, myself, say, that I am gay.

              Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

              @damianwayne kid, that’s literally all you needed to say. You know that, right?! You did not have to hold that full debate.

              Jason @RealJasonTodd ✓

              @damianwayne @RealJasonTodd also like, you didn’t even have twitter until recently, and THAT is what you choose to tweet about first               now that you have one?

              Damian Wayne @damianwayne ✓

              @RealJasonTodd that was my choice and I will not debate this or the propriety of this with you.

 

Farmboy @ConnerKent

@damianwayne hey, by the way, kid, Jon asked if you can come over again soon?

Notes:

On the ages of the characters: Dick is in his early 20s, maybe 22, 23; Jason is 19 (physically, mentally he's a bit younger because of the whole dying-and-ressurection-thing); Tim is 16 and Damian is 12. Bruce is in his late 40s/early 50s probably. Alfred is an immortal saint. Artemis, Wally and Roy are roughly 20-25, Bart is 15, Conner is 18, Barbara is 26.

On the ethnicities of the Waynes: Some of these are canon-based, some aren't. Damian is canonically of Chinese and Arab descend and was raised in Egypt before joining the Batfam in the US. I think Jason being Hispanic is canon, but I may be wrong. Same with Tim, I heard he is third-gen-asian in the comics? However, I made him American and West-Asian (I didn't specify from what country through) mixed in this fic specifically. Dick Grayson is canonically part Romani, however, with the whitewashing and the ever changing writers and canons, this has been changed a lot and I could not find anything conclusive on what culture exactly he’s got heritage from, “how much” Romani he is (I DETEST blood quantum and blood heritage percentage ideology – I’m German and my country has a history of using this kind of shit to supress people, which especially hits home since I have culturally Jewish and Polish ancestry and my family suffered under the Nazis during the 3rd Reich)… anyways, so, it was kinda hard to determine what Romani vista he is from. In the end, I took a look at the languages he canonically speaks apart from Romani and English and a lot of them were more align with the countries where Sinti Romani is spoken, that’s why I chose to write him as Sinti Romani for this.

EDIT: After a very kind comment, I have removed and changed some aspects of this work in specific regards to racism and Dick Graysons identity as a Romani character. I have elected to keep some aspects that I worked out with the help of some IRL friends of mine who are Sinti themselves since they asked me to keep them, but I have removed the entire subplot of racism since, really, there was no reason for it to be there, and I did not intend to harm any Romani person or anyone else who is affected by racism. I apologize to the individuals I did hurt with this, and can only thank the individual that made me aware of this.
