Thinking About Them

Dick isn't a cheater or a womanizer. He can't stand the idea of it.

I don't know what was going on with the wedding scene and him sleeping with Barbara but that is a blatant mischaracterization of him.

There's countless examples in the comics where he talks about only being able to be with one person.

When Kori gets married to Karras under the force of her father, Dick needs to go home but she begs him to stay. But Dick can't do it.

The New Teen Titans (1984) Issue #26

He can't bear to cheat or be used as the object of cheating. His moral standards are too high for that. He also tells Kori afterwards that love should be between two people.

It's impossible for him to just sleep around.

Action Comics Issue #614

"I gotta be honest, Roy-I couldn't make love to someone I didn't really love."

He can't even sleep in the same bed as another woman when he's in love with someone else.

Batgirl (2016) Issue #17

"You could've shared the bed."

"I'm-I'm just not over Shawn yet."

To Helena he talks about how he can't sleep with just anyone and to Roy in Outsiders he scolds him for wanting to sleep with every female hero.

It's literally impossible for Dick to cheat or sleep around. He can't be romantic with people he knows he's not dating. The guy's rock solid.

Dick's morals exist for himself. He's intrinsically the most upstanding character in the DC community.

I really REALLY REALLY hate how DC dashed literally decades of characterization just so they could promote a ship.

It's SO out of character that there's scene in direct contradiction to this.

In the New Teen Titans (1984) comic, Dick has a dream about kissing Raven and he wakes up panicked next to Kory because he's dating her.

Kori tells him she sees the way Raven looks at him, in love, but Dick doesn't believe it for a second.

But this has been going on for a while and Dick is sick of it because he knows he loves Kory and no one else. He's scared and tired so Kory offers to talk to Raven for him which he gladly accepts.

The New Teen Titans (1984) Issue #39

With a little kissing of course <3

So Kori meets Raven and they hang out together where Kori explains the difference between friendship love and romantic love

Raven subconsciously influenced Dick to kiss her with her powers because she was in love with him. But Kori doesn't get mad at her,

I love Kori so much.

Anyways, they have their chat and Dick meets Raven again after Kori and her three week vacation sister-bonding.

HE'S LITERALLY HAVING A MELTDOWN BECAUSE RAVEN KISSED HIM

He's full on panicking that her chat with Kori didn't work. His first thought is "where's Kory?". At this point the poor boy is scared to even be in the same room as her despite Kory giving her explicit permission to date Raven.

That's how much Dick emphasizes monogamy, love, and his partner.

He's only relieved that it turned out to be a prank. Not too pleased with the kissing prank but ig it is what it is.

You can't have all these scenes and then do that Devin Grayson. It doesn't work that way. He doesn't work that way.

I love how Zuko's perception of the gaang must have done a complete 360 after joining them like

Zuko, before joining: this is a group of extremely skilled benders, i must be prepared for any possible situation when i run into them

Zuko, right after joining: wait a minute these aren't trained warriors they're bunch of goofy kids that have somehow survived without adult supervision all this time, i shouldn't have been so worried

Zuko, seeing Katara bloodbend: what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what-

So Damian and Jon spend over sixteen years together. Jon calls him “Dame” which means wife. Jon and Damian practically live there. Jon calls him honey. They are raising a child. Damian has a slightly offhanded joke that has sexual implications towards Jon. They fight constantly over nothing. Damian is a stressed asain mom to Jon’s deadbeat dad. The writers have to actively make them seem more like family because THEY ARE AWARE of it’s my two dad implications. They infer that they are together throughout the multiverse and that they will always share their life with the other. AND to top it all off they implied that they weren’t straight and had this offly intimate and romantic line to the other.

It's over. It's begun. The end of the training and the worry that he wouldn't pass the tests and make the grade, the beginning of a life with meaning. Jason smiles. A bright smile. The kind of smile Robin, The Boy Wonder should have. And he is Robin after all. For now and ever more.

‘Part of me recalls him putting on his costume that first time... the look on his face... his smile... as if it were yesterday. That first time, I must keep it alive... the memory of it. Alive in my heart so that the memory of this... here now... doesn't destroy me. We're together at least. One last time together... as it should be.’

pansexual and asexual/aromantic solidarity is so fun like "fuck everyone" and "fuck everyone"

Barbara: So where's this dog I keep hearing so much about?

Dick: Oh, he's right here.

Wally:

Jason: That's a grown-ass man.

Dick: Yeah he's a little old but hey, who said you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Ready? Watch this. Speak.

Wally: 'Sup bro.

Dick: Good boy!

Kory: Yeah he just spoke English. That's a grown— that's an actual human being.

Dick: Yeah, yeah I guess he kinda does have like that human-like personality.

Jason: 'Cause it's a fucking dude.

Kyle: I feel like we're drastically overlooking the fact that this is just a guy on all fours that you... keep in your house? Or...?

Dick: He's actually a rescue. Did I mention that?

Barbara: What does that even mean in this context?

Dick: It's a shame. I found him out wandering the streets all by himself one night so I took him in.

Wally: I was walking to class one day and he just grabbed me.

Barbara: Okay, what's your name, dude?

Dick: I call him Snowball.

Wally: It's actually Wally.

Roy: Okay so this is like some type of kink thing?

Wally: No he genuinely thinks I'm a dog.

Kory: Okay, even then, why are YOU going along with this?

Wally: Free rent, free food.

Kory: Still, dude, that can't be—

Wally: 401k matching, pension plan, dental coverage.

Roy: You get dental coverage?

Wally: Let me tell you, my canines have never looked so good.

Kyle:

Barbara:

Kory:

Jason:

Roy: Meow.

Dick: Daddy's little kitten.

Jason, leaving: Okay, fuck that.
