Roy: It's So Unfair

Bruce loving and supporting Dick hours

I don't understand why so many fanfic authors write about Roy hating Dick or no longer trusting Dick.

Honestly, I think it's just an attempt to make Jason and Roy work better romantically. I don't care what people ship, but I generally avoid jayroy content for the same reason I avoided destiel. Jayroy centric content often completely ignores or mischaracterizes both Jason and Roy's relationship with Dick and, in doing so, mischaracterizes Dick.

I could be forgetting something from the comics, but from what I've seen, Roy has never hated Dick. He's been really pissed with Dick and has disagreed with Dick's methods, but he's never hated or fully stopped trusting Dick. That's also true for how Dick feels about Roy, but that's for another post.

My point is, even when their relationship was at its most unstable, Roy would still show up if Dick needed him. Roy wouldn't hesitate to trust Dick in the field. Sure, he'd challenge Dick's choices when he felt it was necessary, but never because he didn't trust him. Whenever he challenged Dick, he did so because he was either worried about Dick's mental state or worried about Dick's safety. So, even at their worst, Roy has never stopped loving Dick.

tim drake would beat your ass if he heard what you all say about dick grayson

Remember when Batman basically psychologically tortured Jason, and Dick beat the shit out of him? He even disconnected him from all his tech so he couldn’t call on the Batmobile to escape. He has such a reputation for being kind but he’s terrifying when pissed off. Don’t fuck with him.

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.

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.
