“She wasn’t just somebody’s daughter. She was someone who mattered to Gotham City. And Batman, in particular.”
What happened to Olive? What is that going to mean for her future and the future of all the students at Gotham Academy?
Devin Grayson on Dick Grayson
“Personally, I think [Dick Grayson is] bisexual. I mean, look at his history — there’s no denying that he likes women. The way I think about him, he likes everyone, he’s sort of a contact junkie — just this incredibly physical (and attractive) person who lives wholly in the corporeal plane and responds with — processes things in — his body before his head or heart. I imagine that he can be hypnotized by a touch the way other people can be stopped dead in their tracks by the sight of money or the promise of true love. I think he likes kicking and kissing in almost equal measure — except kissing edges out ahead because you can do it for longer and it leads to nicer things. It’s difficult to communicate in a comic, but he’s the guy who never stops moving, who touches you a lot when he’s trying to get something across to you, who withholds himself — becoming physically very rigid and distant — when he’s unhappy about something. I’m writing a novel for WB right now that he’s in and I have one scene where Batman has to stop a fight before it gets out of control, and most of the people he can just yell or glare at, but with Dick, he just stands really close behind him and Dick freezes. That’s not supposed to be a sexual thing (though it is kinda hot! ::laughs::), it’s an understanding on Bruce’s part that his physical proximity will speak just as quickly and loudly to Dick as his voice, maybe even be processed faster. And I think a large part of Dick’s rather complicated romantic history has to do with the fact that he can be incredibly focused and intense and intimate in a way most people can’t — when he’s with you, he’s 100% with you — and then he can also get up and just go to the next thing and be 100% there, whether it’s work or, god help you if you’re in love with him, someone else. And he doesn’t mean this at all in the typical “notches in the belt” way, it’s a hunger inside of him, a way of communicating. Think, for a minute, about being an aerialist. Your life depends on latching on to that other person’s wrists — the human touch is literally what saves you.”

Love her or hate her, she had Dick Grayson’s character down perfectly.
I commissioned @aylendoesart to draw some concept art of Jason and each of my OCs for the Red Hood solo that I came up with, and these are the gorgeous results!
I could not be happier with how they came out, and I highly recommend hitting up Alien if you want to commission some art.
Also LOOK AT HOW CUTE JASON’S DOG IS. DC LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY OK GIVE JASON A DOG.
im smol and ready 2 brawl

People hate what they don’t understand. Be their hero, Clark. Be their angel, be their monument, be anything they need you to be, or be none of it. You don’t owe this world a thing; you never did.
did joker rape barbara gordon? no.
but does taking pictures of her in a state of undress against her will qualify as sexual assault? yes, it does. it is very disgusting thing and people have a right to be angry about it. so let them be angry.
if you brush off what happened to barbara by saying it wasn’t rape, you’re kind of telling everyone who has been sexually assaulted that it didn’t really count since it wasn’t full-on rape.
also just as a sidenote bc it seems that ppl think i am crossing into anti-tkj territory (which is stupid)–
tkj is one of my favorite books, but i am obviously not advocating for the sexual assault of any character. i promise you that what a majority of people like about the book is NOT the sexual assault of barbara gordon. so please don’t label the people who like the book as terrible people.
