Should I make an All-wing OC?

Just purposely the most overpowered Mary Sue you’ll ever see just because I have a few names in mind that are all equally pretentious.

Some examples are;

- Crystal

- ChosenStar

- LunarMoon

- LanternBearer 

- GuidingLight 

very tired of the ‘Dick Grayson is mostly a pretty boy with bad puns, golden retriever vibes’ trope. Give me German Shepherd Dick. Give me the ‘consummate performer’ Dick. The one all, brilliance, bloody smiles and showmanship, the one with razor sharp wit and charm made weapon. Dick who seamlessly switches between a million personas. The one who doesn’t know what to do when the show’s over. Give me the Dick no one wants to be on the wrong side of because Nightwing might not start battles, but he finishes them. The only one whose threats the entire Batfam (including Bruce) takes seriously. The one fear toxins can’t affect because he’s been to hell and back.

The Dick who unlike Jason doesn’t even mention how much he’s been fucked up and survived. The one the Joker knew he couldn’t break.

So I’m writing down ideas on how to traumatize a character I just made- I had five ideas, wrote down two, now I have seven-

Send help please-

Dinotopia is a fictional utopia created by author and illustrator James Gurney. It is the setting for the book series with which it shares its name. Dinotopia is an isolated island inhabited by shipwrecked humans and sentient dinosaurus who have learned to coexist peacefully as a single symbiotic society. The first book has “appeared in 18 languages in more than 30 countries and sold two million copies.”Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time and Dinotopia: The World Beneath both won Hugo awards for best original artwork.

I’m sorry, but the microwave one caught me off guard-

Batfam quotes as quotes from my DND game (pt 8) (but my main campaign is still on pause so this is from various oneshots over the summer)

Jason:“I'm not listening to someone who can barely touch my chin” Tim:“A pair of…” Steph:“..tits” Bruce:“No.” Jason:“If this is the job that puts me down, I swear I will come back just to haunt you” Damien:“I'm pretty sure you can see in the dark, correct”? Duke:“Oh yeah I can” Damien:“Did you forget”? Duke:“..Maybe” Jason:“Become demon- it pays off GREAT” Ra:“You wish to make one last heroic stand” Tim:“I wouldn't call it heroic but it is a stand” Dick:“Have you ever gotten hit by a meteor before”? Bruce:“...Can't say I have” Dick:“Yes, it is unpleasant” Steph:“Time isn't real, it's a soup” Damien:“That sounds like talking” Tim:“Well you see-” Damien:“That STILL sounds like talking” Tim:“-I mean that's” Damien:“Still. Talking” Tim:“Jesus... okay fine” Babs:“That's such fan behavior” Steph:“Have you ever put a hamster in a microwave”? Cass:“The fuck is a microwave”? Dick:“Congrats, You WON'T be eaten alive by rats-” Jason:“You’re making me the villain here” Damien:“God- You sound like my mother.” Dick:“Its an evil, im gonna slut shame it-” Duke:“That's my lungs not my skeleton” Cass:“Your right that's your gut not your bones”

I’m almost done with it!

But I’m only doing flat colors-

Yes or no?

We need more teachers like this, I live in the hellhole of Florida and we used to have GSA (Gender sexuality Alliance) clubs at all of the middle and high schools I’ve been to . But now there gone due to the don’t say gay bill, and a few of my friends had lost a simple yet extremely important support group of teachers who were LGBT and now only have our small friend group.

My teacher because of this bill can’t even show us photos of her girlfriend without the risk of being fired and tried for showing ‘pornography’ to kids.

The don’t say gay bill is fucking stupid, and it did more harm than good for the students relaying on school to feel normal because of their parents being homophobic or transphobic.

Then they say it was to protect us, like being trans or gay was an illness.

(Disclaimer: some information about the law may be wrong, but the effects I’ve experienced aren’t. And thanks for reading this rant, I needed to get it off my chest.)

Keep in mind I’m a cis woman writing this.

So I was debating posting this but I think it needs to be said.

So I’m a student teacher and this week, we started at a new school district. Now I won’t presume to begin to pretend that I know what everyone’s political ideologies are in this school district but keep in mind that it’s in rural New York State and rural New York State tends to run red. Not as red as some other places but definitely not blue and not even really purple. 

Anyway yesterday was my first ever professional development day. So I’m all dressed up, introducing myself to other teachers, and I shake hands with the superintendent who seems like a really nice guy.

And about halfway through the day, he goes up to the front of the theater and he starts talking about the best ways to talk to and help transgender/nonbinary students. It’s the basic things we all learn in our education classes. And you can tell that he’s a bit uncomfortable and so are some of the teachers. And at last, he stops and says, “Folks, I have to be honest. My father is rolling in his grave right now.”

And I’m in the back like, “Oh no.”

And so he pauses again and then he starts implying that he was raised to have a very negative opinion on the transgender community. And he continues to say that he had to unlearn a lot in the past few decades and then he admitted that he still doesn’t get it. He outright admitted that he personally doesn’t understand how someone comes to the conclusion that they’re not their assigned gender. And he admits that of course he doesn’t because he’s never had to go through that.

Another pause.

And then he says, “But I don’t have to get it.”

The theater fills with whispers and then he says [and I’m paraphrasing here], “I don’t have to get it. I don’t even have to agree with it. Because it doesn’t matter what I think or what I feel or what my beliefs are. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that I respect that student and I respect their choice.”

And then he reminded the teachers of every single policy that the school district follows from letting any student use their bathroom of choice to changing the students’ names per the students’ requests to not telling the parents anything unless the student gives consent to do so.

And at the end, he brought it back by saying, “My father just rolled in his grave again. But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what you think, it doesn’t matter what you believe, because it’s not about you. It’s about your kids. And you need to love your kids! Love your kids! Love your kids!”

Long story short, this looks like it’s going to be a good placement.

My bird waits see you with a stare, and food stuck on her beak, in pinfeathers that aren’t ready-
