Birds Of A Feather...

Hey! So it's not really an ask but. I feel like Dick Grayson is no Ken doll, for how many jobs he has done through the years he is a Barbie doll. I really feel like it's right, any help on the cause?

Absolutely right!

For me Ken represented someone who kinda accepts things for the way they are. Like kinda a happy-go-lucky person who just takes things at face value and chases after love.

But that's not how Dick is. Dick's life is dedicated towards helping others. His ambition is relentless, always crashing through glass ceilings to newer heights.

He always wants to be part of something greater, to achieve the impossible, to become the greatest of his field.

On a side note, I think this is what makes him a Slytherin.

A canon reference- in a Nightwing comic where Dick's past comes to haunt him, it shows that while the Flying Graysons were the main attraction of the show, the real highlight-the crowd drawer of the circus-was Dick: and he knew it. Even at an age as young as 6, people came to the circus just to see him perform and Dick reveled in that glory.

As robin Dick always went off to do his own thing because he wanted to do more because he knew he could. It's exactly like Barbie

Although Barbie was more hesitant in exploring the other side, Dick strives for it which is even farther from Ken Behavior who is content to leave things the way they are regardless of the goods and bads of his situation.

Characters are always talking about Dick doing the impossible and how it relates to him meeting or surpassing Batman's expectations.

I guess it sums down to this: Barbie has ambition and Ken doesn't. And the reason why Dick is the exact opposite of Ken and much more similar to Barbie is because Dick's driving force, aside from helping people, is to be the best at everything he does.

Because when you start breaking your own records, you will never be satisfied with the way things were before just like how Barbie and Dick felt.

okay so hear me out, i think about their dynamic a lot cause damian will get in the way of danger for jon to a stupid extent, to the point where he will risk everyone else including himself, and jon… he cannot really be hurt so he really just has to deal with the fallout 

also im so sorry

gojo "love is the most twisted curse of all" satoru gonna be speechless when yuji saves megumi with the power of love. bc it's no secret that megumi n yuji are clear parallels to gojo and geto. but this time they're going to break the cycle. they're going to get out of the cog mentality. they're going to change the very foundations of jujutsu society. these are the themes that gege has fleshed out so well, that man knows what he's doing fr

Funny Screenshot redraw with Spider Noir and Spider Punk! The fighter duo! Honestly the idea that they’re possibly close in age makes Spider Noir being a mentor figure way funnier to me.

the only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you

bruce leaning into the 'Batman and Bruce Wayne Are Sleeping Together?!?' rumors to keep the heat off his real identity

listen I ended up regretting saying anything about this on my old blog because people will interpret literally any and every statement maliciously on this hellsite but I want to start like. a helpline for people who are like “hey I pretty much only read YA but I’m like 22 now and don’t relate to teenagers as much, it’s such a shame that there are no fun books written for adults :(” because boy HOWDY are there some fun books for adults

Hello Mr. Gaiman! Sending love from Canada 🇨🇦

I’ve recently been going through some Masterclass and have decided to try my hand at short stories again. I’m curious to know what your opinion is regarding stories that do not necessarily provide “traditional” closure for readers (if such a thing exists).

When I was younger I quite enjoyed writing short stories that were a bit horror based and did not always provide total context or closure about what happened.

Obviously I will write what gives me joy to write, but I’m curious on your opinion of this - do you still consider a story to be whatever keeps people turning pages, regardless of what shape that takes?

Thanks so much!!!

Some of my favourite stories have endings that feel absolutely right but don't give a traditional or standard sort of closure to the reader. Entertainment gives the audience what they expect, art gives them what they don't know yet that they need. Give them art.

Hope Crowley gets to be extremely dramatic in S3
