HE CREATED A ROUTINE THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED HIS PARENTS' LIVES IM DONE

like I would just not die in a warehouse like a loser idk idk

nice argument... unfortunately

u are dick grayson and there are two wolves inside u. one is bruce wayne’s devotion to control above everything and ur uncompromising, debilitating loyalty to him. the other is the titans love for u and how u conflate that with lacking trust in ur judgement and their own attempts at control. u cannot win. u will be eaten alive.

the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible

despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)

The perfect cover for the girl who cannot read and is just learning how to speak verbally

Vic and Dick. 2022

watching people insist that dick grayson would post thirst traps and tiktoks and overshare online and accidentally reveal his secret identity because he’s open and honest and would never lie as if he doesn’t hate talking about himself and hides from the people he loves and rarely directly says what he’s thinking

u fool!! u have been tricked by the facade!!! a graysons nature is to perform!!

Y’all are so deluded if you think that a nation state has more right to exist than literal children. They assassinated Ismail Haniyehs children and grandchildren today on Eid Al-Fitr. The youngest of which was 2 years old.

i feel like i'm losing my mind why has the AI debate pivoted away from material/labor concerns back to debates about Real vs Fake Art. cannot express just how little i care about relitigating Art and high art and low art and skilled vs unskilled art. what i care about is the treatment and compensation of workers, the power corporations are exerting over intellectual property and creators, the continued extraction of resources, and the omnipresent glut of spam and disinformation with few or no regulations/resources that filter out the SEO AI generated nonsense

Ugh the way fanon Jason calling Tim replacement v.s. canon Jason calling Tim pretender flattens Jason's motivations and the whole Jason and Tim relationship. 'Replacement' directs Jason's anger to Bruce. It makes Tim and Jason allies in victimhood. 'Here is this callous man that views us as interchangeable, can't you see that we're nothing to him?' 'Pretender' though... that holds Tim accountable for his role in making Jason's death meaningless. 'You saw everything I was, all that I gave, and you used it as a springboard to become what I should have been' is a lot more complex, and a lot more thematically accurate to Jason's whole deal. It's a larger gap for the characters to bridge, especially when Tim is coming from the perspective that his becoming Robin was not only right, it was necessary.

Obligatory reblog of me telling people that Jason calling Tim "Replacement" is not fanon.

It's canon, but only in the Arkhamverse continuity. OP's points stand since in the canon comics continuity it doesn't happen, but yeah it's still not a fanon thing and it's worth mentioning.

He calls him Replacement a lot in game too but I don't have clips, just this screenshot from the Arkham Knight comics.

This comic came out almost ten yrs after the UTRH came out and after replacement had become popular in fandom(which has Never informed canon((which this still isn't since in the prime universe but I get the point))) like I'm not trying to be mean but context matters and this is literally an example of what I am talking abt

Superman is literally the character of all time, what if we made a guy who just loves the entire world. he loves the entire world so much but he's different and he has to hide so he's deeply lonely. he comes from a planet and a people he can never truly know because they're all dead. he isn't mean or bitter but he is always angry because he sees injustices happening and it hurts him. and what if we made him able to hear it all constantly. also he loves flying and collecting weird alien creatures and he's powered by the sun.
