Happy holidays, everyone!
This will be my final post for this year, and I'll be taking a brief break from social media to recharge my energy.
I'll see you soon in the next year!

"well, the laser vision IS a plus, because it's cool watching her set stuff on fire from 50 yards away. and i like that she can fly and get things off of high shelves for me. but those aren't the ONLY reasons why i like her!"
(also i hope you enjoy retro batdad, because that's where my brain's at right now. i'm delighted that starfire's design is already so incredibly 60s; she fits right in 🌠)

I was moreso talking about the tone of your reblog, it reads (imo) as a 'gotcha' in a negative way. If that wasn't your intent then I apologize.
But yeah what you said about Roy and Wally is fundamentally correct and I wouldn't dispute it. (I'm not 100% sure what the op was referring to, and it looks like they've deleted the post so maybe it was a mistake?)
Although! If you wouldn't mind, I do have a genuine question that I think you could answer? Most of the material I've read that pairs the Titans up as best friends usually have Dick+Wally, Dick+Roy, Dick+Donna, and Donna+Roy (this one is usually romantic tho). I think the Heroes in Crisis is probably the first one I've seen that Roy and Wally say they're best friends. Are there other comics that have that dynamic that I've missed? Or am I misunderstanding the social dynamics and it's like the whole group of Titans are 'best friends' at the same time? I've always understood the best friend concept to be a single individual but maybe I'm thinking too hard about it lol.
If i was Roy Harper and my best friend died, came back to life, and then didn’t tell me i’d be so pissed. Imagine your best friend has been alive for MONTHS while you thought he was dead and he didn’t come to you for help? Roy would’ve done anything for Jason and Jason didn’t tell him, just let him keep mourning? i’m so sad
#oh and also i will def answer the question about astrid arkham#i just haven't had time to sit down and read her comics and write it all out lmao#but i promise i'll do it!

Cass being into horror movies is such a funny idea I'm annoyed it's only referenced in passing. Imagine the most terrifying person in the world hiding inside her hoodie from the Exorcist. Imagine the most merciful and compassionate person in the world wheeze laughing as Jason Voorhees folds a man's body up like an origami swan.

[grabs your shoulders and shakes you] something being widely accepted fanon does not actually make it "basically canon" and it doesn't mean people who don't incorporate it into their fics or acknowledge it are doing something wrong

Dick Grayson's talent for manipulation literally brings the world to its knees.
Part 1 post
My absolute favorite trait about Dick aside from his craziness is his ability to control every single person in existence. The best part is, he's so clever in the way that he does it that people almost never notice.
Bart Allen
"Oh! Ahh..you're trying to get my DNA sample. You need my spit! Ha! That's such a Dick Grayson thing to do."
Bart knows!! Dick's brilliantly sly okay. Honey catches more flies that vinegar? He takes it so far that breaks he the ceiling with it because by the time he's done, people don't even know they've been manipulated. And if they do, then what can they do about it? He always wins.
With friends and family he does it to make them feel better without being so overt and discomforting them.
Justice League: Road to Dark Crisis
Jon came to him when he was feeling lost and upset and Dick set up the perfect conditions to encourage him and pick him up. He's just so good at doing what he's doing but he does it for all the right reasons.
But the extent Dick can go trick and manipulate someone is off the charts. A virtuoso.
In a Titans comic, Dick literally spent MONTHS acting depressed and weak after Donna, Wally, and Garth were kidnapped to another dimension by a villain just so he could trick the villain into thinking that his career was over and bring him into the same dimension so Dick could take him down.
He fooled everyone.
Teen Titans: The Silver Age TBP 2 Part #1
"Batman taught me how to be a totally convincing actor! So if the only way you could send me here with your ring was if I filled my brain with evil thoughts, I just faked it! My facial expression was pure evil-but my mind remained pure good."
MONTHS.
He planned, pretended, and calculated every single fiber of his own mind and body until the whole world was fooled by his acting. He tricked an interdimensional being who had psychic access. That means he was so extraordinarily manipulative, he can control his own thoughts inside his head to trick someone else. Voldemort's legilimens has nothing on Dick's talent.
Like Bart, sometimes his allies are aware of this like with Selina-
Gotham City Sirens Issue #23
Selina's literally having a mental breakdown trying not to fall for Dick's manipulation and tricks.
But even if they know he's manipulating them, they still are forced to fall for it anyway.
Gotham City Sirens Issue #23
"Damn it."
Like a goldilocks mad scientist - he does it just right.
His acting is just so on point that he outschemes the schemer.
When the Crime Syndicate (Superwoman, Ultraman, Owlman, Power ring, etc) arrive on Earth to take it over when Dick is Batman, Dick needs to do something fast. But to make things worse, there's a being that's so powerful, that both the Crime Synidcate and Justice League combined have a snowball's chance in hell of defeating him.
So what does Dick do? He runs the game.
Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52
Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52
"Of course he had a plan the whole time. He's Batman. He always has a plan."
Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52
He tricks everyone.
Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52
And in the end, the Justice League wins and Dick saves the world.
Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52
I love how they characterized Owlman as a snake because that would make Dick a mongoose since mongoose eats snakes. And do you know what Mongoose represent in folklore? Action, adventure, boldness, fearlessness, impulsiveness, independence, optimism, rebellion, resistance, resourcefulness, speed, adaptation, agility, quickness, intelligence and wit. All characteristics that define him.
He plays the world like a chessboard, always five steps ahead.
He always has an ace hidden up his sleeve.
His thoughts are always masked behind a disarming smile.
He has mastered the art of manipulation.
And that's while he's outright fighting. His subtlety is just so seductive.
Take a look at the way he smoothly evades answering in this panel -
Grayson Issue #9
He's so smooth. She's constantly on the watch but she instantly fell head over heels for his charms in a half a heartbeat, that's just how good he is.
Grayson Issue #10
He's a master manipulator who knows exactly what to say and how to act to always end up winning.
It's seriously such a shame that one of his greatest skills and talents isn't talked about more because this man?! Flawless.
He's the spy everyone on TV wishes they could be. He's the type of spy people read about in history books and marvel at the ease, grace, and legendary story he leaves behind. He's the spy that everyone knows and dreams of in their fantasies.
Nightwing (2016)
And oh how they so are.
He can just get people to do whatever he wants.
There's a reason why Batman's only contingency plan against Nightwing is "Let's hope he fucks up." Because with his intelligence, skill, power, charisma, and raw talent - he's goddamn unstoppable.

The REAL reason why DC no longer has a Letters to the Editor section is because the editors wouldn't even be able to answer basic questions about what was published even two months prior, or respond to the letters in a coherent way and they know it.

Elio, c'mon. This again? The condescension is really not helping you make your case.
After the message you sent me, I thought you'd stop doing this.
If i was Roy Harper and my best friend died, came back to life, and then didn’t tell me i’d be so pissed. Imagine your best friend has been alive for MONTHS while you thought he was dead and he didn’t come to you for help? Roy would’ve done anything for Jason and Jason didn’t tell him, just let him keep mourning? i’m so sad
#rhato was MORE than a DECADE ago#jason and roy have been friends in more comics than JUST rhato#at what point does something become canon to you? at what point will you stop punishing people for liking it?#i mean technically you GOT your way. Jason and Roy are not in any recent comics together. why are you still so angry?
