Dick gave Robin to Jason
Ok so I was reading up on some of Jason Todd’s original origins (I couldn’t remember a specific detail) and it was all stuff I was very familiar with
Until I got to Batman 1940 issue #368
Where we see Jason Todd wearing not the classic Robin uniform but this
Which first of all
He had pants
And second of all what those two are doing in this panel is discussing what new name Batman’s partner should have instead of Robin. Because when Jason first shows up as Robin in Batman 1940 issue #366, it wasn’t Bruce’s decision
Bruce is surprised to see him (mostly because at first glance he thinks Jason is Dick but I digress)
and more than that he actually gets upset that Jason put the costume on in the first place. Because it wasn’t his to take
Bruce proceeds to explain that he refuses to allow Jason to steal Dick’s identity because Robin belongs to him
Hence the need for a new identity
It’s in the middle of them discussing this that Dick shows up with a box in hand, asking Jason how he’s doing and starts talking about how he felt when he first became Batman’s partner.
He then tells them he saw Vicki Vale’s photo of “Batman and Robin” stopping the Joker
Jason immediately apologizes, saying that it was never his intention to try and steal Dick’s identity.
But it’s Dick that stops him and tells him that it’s ok because he’s no longer Batman’s partner and that he’s done trying to be like Batman
He talks about how he’s the leader of the Titans and that it’s time his name reflected the fact he was no longer Batman’s partner
It’s then he finally opens the box that he came in with to reveal the Robin uniform
He proceeds to then give it to Jason and more than that tells Jason that he deserves to be Robin and that he explicitly gives Jason permission to use his identity
He then leaves saying he has to get back to the Titans and that he has to figure out what he wants to be next
but not before calling Jason “Robin”
There was no big betrayal or fight, nothing was stolen(permanently anyway).
Dick gave Robin to Jason and then left on peaceful terms
Now obviously this version of the story has been long since retconned and rebooted a dozen times over, but I still found the fact that Dick had originally given the Robin mantle to Jason very interesting

A thing that continues to be insane to me is how every single artists rendition of Blue is SO valid to me. Like I’ve seen this girl drawn in so many different styles, vibes, appearances and races and every single time I’m like yup there’s my girl.
Meanwhile I’ll see fan art of another TRC character and half the time I’ll be like wow this artist is so talented but that’s not Adam fucking Parrish

Sanji why must you hurt me like this
I know why, but Babygirl why are you be so surprised that your friends care about you, of course they ran all over town trying to find help, Luffy would rather die then let something happen to you
Sanji’s self worth issues are an ongoing theme, but even here it’s so blink and you’ll miss it the way he really thinks that everyone would be perfectly ok with him dying, that the crew would be unbothered and at most inconvenienced because they’d have to “find a new cook to replace him” the ways he hurts me 😭😭

"I just don't get Sherlock fans at all," I say to myself like the plot of Miss Sherlock wasn't the hot lady Watson expy going to therapy for her war medic PTSD and getting turned into a sleeper agent by her therapist who was actually the hot lady Moriarty expy. and then, ofc, being forced to attack the hot lady Sherlock expy and them having a lot of homoerotic tension over it.
like I know that I am equally willing to lean into terrible writing for the sake of homoeroticism if they look like this

Riddler riding shotgun yelling about and cursing out every driver who does anything mildly stupid or inconveniencing meanwhile Two-Face (driving) isn’t even reacting to them because he is focusing so hard on not shoving Riddler out the fuckin door
