Lin-Manuel Miranda Is Not Untalented But He Shouldn't Be Making Billion Dollar Disney Movies Or Whatever.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is not untalented but he shouldn't be making billion dollar disney movies or whatever. This guy should be in a garage making deeply earnest but unpolished rap opera concept albums and posting them online for a niche fanbase of no more than 100,000 too-online theatre nerds. Hiring him to make forgettable paint-by-numbers radio friendly disney princess pop is trying to raise devil's pupfish in captivity. You have to stop giving him money and let him go make cringe in his natural habitat or you're never going to get anything good.

I’m not going to put this on the post itself, but I stared at this for like ten minutes wondering why it made my brain fritz before realizing it’s because it seems appropriate on the surface, but it’s kind of…the other way around?

Which is freaking weird given the general impressions these characters leave. If you were asked to sort them as the Emotion Boy and the Manly Man, the instinctive choice seems obvious. But their respective responses to negative emotions are, uh.

Jason comes back home screaming about how he was wronged while heavily armed.

Dick literally moves to another city/job/identity instead of talking to people. Other people are for talking about THEIR emotions! Because you’re a supportive leader/mentor/big brother figure! This is fine! *room catches on fire* This is fine!!!!

Jason: *fires a semiautomatic into the air* NOW THAT YOU HAVE LISTENED TO MY TWELVE POINT ESSAY ABOUT WHY I HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST YOU, Jason: I will assign you three very specific tasks to get back in my good graces. Jason: They’re impossible. I hope you like ‘Scarborough Fair’.

Dick: *stops acting fine exactly long enough to start a fight with a scapegoat over something more justifiable than why he’s really upset, punches them until the fight artfully destroys his shirt, then goes back to repressing and working out the rage shakes on bank robbers*

(Sometimes he can cajole himself into asking for advice from dubious sources ((Bruce when he’s being written as emotionally inept; Deathstroke???; civilians with no information about his situation)), which is at least adjacent to talking about your feelings.)

In conclusion: Alfred: Do you ever want to talk about your emotions, Master Dick? Dick: No. But how are you doing, Alfred? You’ve looked tired recently. Jason: I do. Alfred: We know, Master Jason. Jason: I’m mad. Alfred, looking very tired indeed: We know, Master Jason.

I love the HC where all the brothers are like "yeah, Dick is an idiot lol" but the moment someone says something bad about him, they jump to defend him with their lives... Even from himself, lol

Jason: Dick? Ah, yeah, he's stupid.

X: Ha! Yes, I bet he can't even add 2 + 2.

Jason: WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? That guy was a mathlete, he won every damn contest he entered. Gotham Academy has a whole hall just for his trophies in different disciplines, both mental and physical skill. You wish you could be like that.

Tim: Sometimes I wish Nightwing would stop trusting people so much.

X hero: He's very naive, isn't he?

Tim: What??? No! The guy is a master manipulator, he knows every move you're going to make and he's three miles ahead of you. Whatever you do, he will know and be able to react accordingly in a second. He has more contingency plans than Batman! He is far from being naive!

Damian: You are too soft with them.

Dick: I am, aren't I? I guess I'm not at my best anymore.

Damian: Don't you dare say that again. You're one of the best fighters I know and you're the only person in the world I know who can do the stunts you do. You are literally the epitome of human fitness. Shut up. Don't look down on my Batman.

Duke just punched two people who were talking bad about Richie after he gave an interview on TV <3

Going to the Jason Todd tag is like. He wouldn't say that. He wouldn't do that. Bruce wouldn't do that. They would not be friends with Jason. He does not have that many scars. Dick never did that. Tim would not be caught dead saying that. That didn't happen.

I was comparing and contrasting the plot points of AFTG and Die Free or Die a Failure to my roomate and they just looked at me and said:

“What even goes on in these books”

And then I realized how crazy “Yeah so his father is a serial killer and he’s on the run and plays a made up sport and then he gets involved in a mafia war and there’s gay people” must sound.

Dick Grayson is not a player. Dick Grayson is not a player. Dick Grayson does NOT sleep around, that is unfaithful to him and his morals which he has iterated multiple times in CANON.

BEING ATTRACTIVE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY WARRANT HIM BEING PORTRAYED AS A MAN SLUT.

EDIT: Also, while I’m out here dissolving bullshit misconceptions about Dick Grayson, can everyone PLEASE get on the same page with the fact that him cheating on Kori with B*rbara is NO LONGER CANON. It was RETCONNED because it was such bullshit.

This guy legit had issues with being with his own girlfriend while she had a political loveless marriage with a man on Tamaran. Despite Dick being in love with her, and Kori with Dick, he respects marriage that deeply. So yeah nah, let that purely OOC and non-canon storyline GO. Kori has always been the only woman for him, but that’s another argument altogether. My point is though that he would NEVER cheat on that woman who he loves so fucking deeply.
