Have I pretty much stopped caring about Bungou Stray Dogs? Yes. Yes I have. Will Soukoku forever be that one ship that I adore and changed the trajectory of my life? Yes. Yes it will. Will I continue consuming Soukoku fanfic, art and edits? Yes. Yes I will.
the joy of realizing someone is a similar type of freak as you
Imagine Tim talking to about how he was at the circus the night of the Flying Grayson’s
Tim: Yeah, I mean watching them die really helped shape me into who I am today
Dick: …that’s great Tim
Tim: Though if I’m being honest it kinda scarred me for life
Dick: It scarred you for life?
I know this would probably never happen but it’s kinda funny to think about
PREACH PREACH PREACH 🙌🙌🙌
"Dick was an angry kid", "Dick was full of rage when he was Robin", "Jason was the happy Robin, not Dick"
Look at me in the eyes and explain to me how this sweet, playful, mischievous, kind and thoughtful kid is an angry child.
He was not an angry child. He does not deserve to be labelled as such.
You know what Dick Grayson was, though? He was a child with feelings. A kid that experienced all kind of emotions corresponding to the situation he was in.
I'm not telling you he was never angry and that he was always a happy-go-lucky kid. But is ridiculous how there's so much insistence on this idea that he was full of rage and his only mood was anger.
"But when his parents died-" When his parents died he was, above all, so fucking heartbroken. Yes, he was angry, because it wasn't fair. He shouldn't have lost everything in one night. He shouldn't have had to watch the bodies of the two persons he most loved in the world fall and break. He was just a kid. Of course he's going to feel anger after that. But that's not the only thing he felt. He was sad, too. And in spite of that tragedy, he could smile and feel some happiness as well.
Calling him an angry child is very insensitive, in my opinion. Is that how you call a child grieving his parents and processing loss?
Dick Grayson wasn't full of rage. He was full of life. He was full of the strength to keep going, of the love his parents left him, and of the pain of loss for a while. He was full of good and became someone who'd prevent more tragedies like his from happening. And there was anger, yes, but it was never what drove him to be Robin.
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.

I present to you: Karaoke night with the Batfamily
Steph drags Cass to do a duet of “Take on Me” Steph is jumping around on stage out of breath while Cass surprisingly demolishes that high note
Dick blackmails convinces Jason to do a duet of “Bring me to life” by Evanescence where they spend the entire song duration competing with each other, both absolutely devouring the song. They’ll pretend like they didn’t just perform the most iconic duet but Steph and Babs have it on video. (They end up winning best performance, tied with Duke’s cover of Shut up and Dance)
Tim tries to get out of singing but Stephanie somehow forces him into performing “I want it that way” by the Backstreet Boys. He pretends to be unenthused at first but gets way too into it and eventually he ends up hogging the mic for half the night
Duke is the ultimate hype man, and when he isn’t hyping people up he’s singing the FUNNEST songs. His cover of Shut up and Dance? The entire family was cheering him on, even Damian couldn’t pretend that Duke didn’t just kill that song. (He ends up tied with Jason and Dick for best performance)
Neither of them can really sing and end up performing a competitive duet of Smooth Criminal which was extremely off key . They had a blast but they would never admit it.
Damian gets really competitive with Tim and he and Tim end up having a singing contest. Remember how I said Tim ends up hogging the mic? Well whenever Tim isn’t hogging the mic, Damian is trying to prove how his superior karaoke skills surpass Tim
Bruce was enjoying himself but then Dick decided to do a beautiful cover of Slipping Through my Fingers by ABBA and no Bruce wasn’t crying! He just had something in his eye! He then decided to leave early in order to work on a case
Jason sings Staying Alive for irony purposes because he would never miss the opportunity to make a death joke!
Steph, Cass, Babs and Duke perform the frattiest rendition of Boyfriend by Big Time Rush
Babs and Dick scream Mr. Brightside at the top of their lungs, which frustrates everyone because they both can fucking sing.
Alfred refuses to sing at first but after the entire family insists he sings “My way” by Frank Sinatra and everyone’s jaw dropped.
the neurodivergent experience:
20% of the time: wowwieee!!! i love my passions and interests!!!!! they make me so happy i want to jump up and down!!!!! weee!!!!!!! :3333333333
80% of the time: this mind is a prison
It's interesting that when Dick was falling to his death in Batman #339, he felt Bruce's spiritual presence with him instead of John and Mary's, despite thinking of Bruce, John, and Mary a page earlier.
For some reason people in charge of media hate putting bi people in (for lack of a better word) heterosexual relationships and it’s so dumb.
Does anyone else dislike it when people dismiss Tim and Stephanie's relationship. Like on the one hand, I get part of it is a joke, and that people are just being lighthearted. But on the other idk. Part of it feels like they're just erasing Tim's bisexuality, and the fact that he is not solely attracted to men, but I also feel like it complete diminishes just how much Tim and Steph meant to eachother. Thats not even talking about how poorly DC handled their break up.
