A note for every day of the scrooge
ebb 'n eez 'er scrooge???? i hardly know 'er!
It makes me laugh a lot that whenever references are made to certain qualities of Dick that his other brothers also have, there is no shortage of people who say that "they are giving him qualities of *insert random sibling* to praise Dick".
Dude, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but actually, a lot of those abilities were first Dick's and then they were given to other batkids, shit, even his friends and partners were passed on to his siblings-
In one fic does it say that Dick writes or something related to his stories about Batman and Robin? "That was Jason, not Dick."
Someone makes a HC of Dick drawing? "That's not Dick, the artist is Damian."
Eh... Dick was literally a writer and (if I'm not wrong) even a comic book illustrator in a canonical way, using his adventures with Batman as a reference-
Same when they say that only Jason was the star student... No, Dick was ALWAYS a star student, outstanding and quite dedicated too. The only thing they were not alike in was that Dick was not a total lover of literature, but that does not mean that he did not read, he did, he even read things that were advanced for his age, and he also makes references to readings, showing that, in fact, he also read... He's just more about movement than staying still and reading.
"In YJ they gave Tim's skills to Dick".
The suit maybe, but the abilities? First they were Dick's, then they were given to Tim.
Dick was always an excellent detective, only more intuitive than methodical, but he was always the best behind Batman, at times even on par.
And he's always been a very competent hacker, too. Yes, not on Barbara's level, but he was always pretty good with technology.
"Him not getting crushed by Cass is so ooc".
No? Dick was always an excellent fighter. Again, he uses a very different style than other members of his family, but he was always excellent in fights.
I will never tire of discussing these things. I understand that many things nowadays are not shown much anymore, since the writers focus more on his leadership ability than detective skills, and it is also obvious that not everyone will want to read all the comics, there are too many- I haven't even read them all and I don't plan to, it's a hobby, not my life- lol
But yes, I'm still going to always say this, that his "brothers' abilities" are actually Dick's, and that does NOT mean that his siblings don't have them too, they just aren't the only ones.
i deserve to be an eel. in a crevice with a bunch of other eels. opening and closing our mouths over and over
Dick wears superheros' merch all the time, this of course includes his siblings' merch.
Dick (supposedly) doesn't know it, but his siblings have a collective bet on what merch he'll wear next. Obviously he can't know, or there will be preferences.
He usually takes turns in no specific order, but making sure not to wear the same merch twice in a week. They can be noticeable things like t-shirts, or more discreet things like necklaces or bracelets.
Now, Jason is at a disadvantage, isn't he? There isn't much crime lord merch out there after all... But Dick finds ways, like wearing a t-shirt with a red bat on it, and if anyone asks, he can just say it's Batman's and that's it (he also can't go around wearing clothes that make him look like he supports a criminal).
Anyway, Dick definitely knows about this, so sometimes, depending on whether he's mad or happy with either of them, he wears more or less of their merch.
When he is angry with the family, he wears only merch of the JL members, no bats.
(Bruce won't stop glaring at Hal all week because Dick wore a Green Lantern jacket instead of the Batman's one).
oh goody another one!
a big part of mylo's tragedy for me is that i could see the bones of him being a good character that had potential to grow and change and talk with powder about whys and wherefores
and then he fuckin *died*
like damn
Wait....
Can you guys see my vision or am I delusional?
This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.
every time i see a dragons rising post with shorthand DR in it
i am reading that as Dangan Ronpa
The Bats finding out that Jason is alive because the fic Tim had read from the user JayRobin2222 when he was twelve and which had not updated in years gets a new chapter with an author's note that says "sorry for the late update! I died and couldn't get back to my computer to write this until now. I'm better now though, don't worry!"
